Who’s Who... in East County

You don't have to wait for a special occasion to give flowers. Because of their infinite diversity and unique appeal, flowers never fail to be special to their recipient. Flowers make people happy on both sides of the arrangement and they can help you put your feelings into words.

Look no further than Flowers by Gerry to deliver your special message with flowers. Flowers by Gerry is a unique flower shop located in Brentwood. Their custom fresh flower designs speak for themselves and are made to client's requests and preferences. Their designers will work with you to create just the perfect floral gift for you or for that special someone and help you to make the best decision for a very affordable price. Choose tropical flowers with exotic orbs in a specialty vase, Dutch tulips simply arranged with willow or ribbon, or romantic roses & hydrangea in a beautiful keepsake teapot or pitcher.

A bouquet of flowers conveys joy, romance, love, appreciation or sympathy in a way that no other gift can. Flowers given for no reason other than, “I was thinking of you today” can mean much more to the recipient, because they are unexpected. So, whether you want to share a bunch of happy, say, “I’m sorry,” “thank you,” or “I care,” Flowers by Gerry can help you do it. And beyond the message, giving flowers says something about you, too. Research shows people who give flowers are perceived as thoughtful and sophisticated. Who doesn’t want that!?

TRAVEL TIME

Fire Pipe Band, Clannish Pipe Band, and award-winning traditional dancers.

It’s February and we want you to know about an exiting venue we’ve been invited to be a part of this year. You might remember, years ago, we were the very first travel agents to be a part of the annual Pleasanton Scottish Gathering and Games, and we are still there each year.

So, now, we feel honored and privileged that we are the very first travel agents to have been invited to the Annual Sonora Celtic Faire! Representing Ireland, Cornwall, Scotland, Wales, and all Celtic Lands, the 29th Annual Sonora Celtic Faire has over 100 things to experience in just one day! Come all three days and see it all!

3000 years of Celtic Living History are celebrated with Full Metal Jousting show on horseback, Celtic armored foot combat competition, Scottish Highland sword duels, Mary Queen of Scots’ Royal Court, Viking encampments and sword fights, Roman & Celt Army Battles, Fire Breathing Dragon with handlers, and 400 costumed performers with full encampments to visit!

The Celtic Marketplace features 100 craftsman, artisans, and Celtic vendors, featuring Swords & Armor, Celtic History Books, Scottish Kilts, Celtic Music, Celtic Foods, T-shirts, Irish hats, Family Coat of Arms, Toys, Fine art & photos, and sculptures. Additional attractions include Traditional Celtic food & drink, Scottish & Irish Clan Tent Row, and Children’s Celtic living history area.

The Faire will be held March 6th, 7th and 8th at Motherlode Fairgrounds, 220 Southgate, in Sonora. Tickets are on sale now at our website. Presale, Friday: Adults $12, kids $6. Saturday: Adults $25, kids $10. Sunday: Adults $20, kids $10. Friday kickoff concert $15. For more information, go to sonoracelticfaire.com or call them at 209-533-4420.

There are 10 stages of live Celtic Music, Traditional Dance, Fire shows, jugglers and magic! Celtic Rock & Traditional Bands include Barleyjuice, Wicked Tinkers, Blackeyed Dempseys, Black Brothers, Golden Bough, Black Irish Band, Cooking with Turf, Sequoia Banshee in the Kitchen, Hammer Hands, Stage & Thistle Pipe Band, Ripon Irish Police &

The area around Sonora has a lot to offer in the way of entertainment, history and culture, so why not make it a weekend “Getaway from your everyday” close to home. And if you’ve never been to Jamestown, it’s somewhat in the neighborhood and a short drive will get you there. You owe it to yourself to make a weekend of it and you will not be disappointed to spend it in this beautiful locale. Make the most of your close to home vacation and we’ll see you at the Sonora Celtic Faire!

Getaway Cruises n’ Tours can be contacted at 925-679-8428 or getawaycnt1@prodigy.net. Visit their website for the latest in cruise and tour specials at www.getawaycruisesntours.com.

HEALTH

FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH

Sleep Disordered Breathing and Dental Health Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) is characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep. It is an illness affecting ten percent of children, twenty-four percent of adult males and nice percent of adult females. The comorbidities of sleep-disordered breathing are hypertension, obesity, diabetes, heart failure, heart attack, stroke and asthma.

SDB is also associated with a seven-fold increase in the incidence of motor vehicle accidents. SDB is linked to accidents at work and home and also failed personal relationships. One of the most common symptoms of SDB is snoring, which causes general bedroom disharmony.

The prevalence of SDB increases with age, weight gain and craniofacial abnormalities. SDB occurs when oropharyngial musculature loses its normal dynamic tone during sleep. The

tongue falls back into the oropharynx resulting in narrowing and ultimately obstructing the airway. The interruption of breathing results in decreased oxygen in the blood and increases the blood pressure, while normally the blood pressure falls during sleep. The turbulent airflow in the oropharynx generates a low frequency sound, commonly known as snoring, which is the primary symptom of SDB. As the disease progresses, daytime sleepiness becomes evident and the patient falls asleep in front of the television, at the movie theatre, and sometimes, tragically, behind the steering wheel!

The dentist helps in the diagnosis and treating of SDB in numerous ways. Early Orthodontics helps to correct craniofacial abnormalities. Treatment ranges from lifestyle changes like avoiding smoking, alcohol and trying to maintain a steady stream of air through the nose by using a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) Device. Oral appliances help in treating snoring and mild SDB. Consulting with a sleep specialist, sleep test, palatal scarring procedures and some surgical therapies are other treatment options, depending upon the severity of the SDB.

SDB is such a prevalent condition and since it is recommended that adults should see the dentist at least once a year, it is easy to get help. If left untreated, it can lead to cardiovascular disease, hypertension and automobile accidents.

WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?

Your Power Connection!

Here it is the second week in January and it is wonderful 68 degrees outside.

With all of the Christmas decor put away and the last noise maker from New Years in the trash, the community seems to be off and running into the new year. The wonderful rain brought the much needed water to the farmlands and the tractors are starting to appear in the fields. What a perfect time to look in on a local business who can help you with those New Year’s resolutions.

If you are like my family, things that needed fixing in November got put on the “To Do” list. You know, the ceiling fan that stopped working or the hot tub that doesn’t get hot anymore. Both are certainly important to these cold winter days and Ross Perlee from CJ Bradley’s Electric is just the guy to call. This one man company has been in the Brentwood area since 2003. Ross has been in the electrical trade since 1986 and is “Your

Power Connection.”

great for everyone.

Now here is the good part, you can get a free estimate. And that includes a small job like a new circuit or new construction. That being said he has competitive pricing with customer service and satisfaction his number one priority.

I know this to be true because members of our Grapevine family have used Ross and love to refer him to others. Ceiling fans, new circuits, additional outlets, under cabinet lighting, garage lighting, new phone/cable lines, hot tubs, exterior lighting, landscape lighting, recessed lighting, remodels and new construction are just a few projects offered by CJ Bradley’s Electric.

I know our readers enjoy our monthly snoop and may have taken advantage of my advise over the years to either shop a store or take advantage of the many services offered by local businesses, but the thought of touching electrical stuff has most of us a little scared. I can still remember that little zap I got as a kid when I did something I wasn’t supposed to do next to the duplex plug. I can’t even imagine tackling a job like putting in a ceiling fan. First off, many of us shouldn’t be on a ladder and secondly, what if it is wired wrong and you burn down the house. All the more reason to make the call to Ross and at least give him the opportunity to bid your job and get it done right the first time.

I think the part I liked most about this company is it is family owned and operated. There is nobody to blame if the job isn’t done right and as Ross says “a company is only as good as its reputation!” He is licensed, bonded and insured and is willing to take your call to discuss any question or concern you have about your specific project. No middle man, just Ross, with almost 30 years of experience. How great is that? You can talk to the guy directly about what you need to have done and he is going to give you the best price and quality service. And his company is local which is

So, CJ Bradley’s Electric, the Monthly Grapevine gives you five lightning bolts for bringing this wonderful business to Brentwood and offering excellent service to the our community and surrounding areas. I know that the next time I need to have anything electrical done, I personally am going to give you a call. Who will be snooped next? It could be you!

CJ Bradley’s Electric is locally owned and operated. They can be contacted at 925-679-2828.

5 Things You Should Take Care of in the New Year The New Year is a time of renewal.

It’s traditionally a time when many people resolve to free themselves of bad or unwanted habits and to set their sights on more positive activities and practices. That’s a good thing.

We thought it fitting as you enter the New Year, that among your ‘other’ resolutions, you might want to consider making a few New Years resolutions for your home.

Unlike traditional personal resolutions that are typically embarked upon ‘cold turkey’ on the first day of the year, New Years resolutions for your home can consist of a doable list that you will work to accomplish throughout the course of the year.

The last thing that you want to do is sabotage yourself (and your partner or family) by setting unrealistic expectations both in terms of timing and budget. Your resolutions should consist of projects that can be accomplished during the year and utilizing available budget resources.

We have taken the liberty of suggesting five New Years resolutions for your home.

They consist of five general tasks – in order of importance — that we believe apply to most homes and that you should consider before endeavoring to create your dream bath or gourmet kitchen – though they are great resolutions for sure.

• Safety – The best ‘home’ resolution that you can make in the New Year is to make your home safer for yourself and your family. Check to make sure that smoke detectors and carbon monoxide

detectors are properly installed and in good working order. Test them regularly.

Check major appliances for proper operation. Fuel burning appliances should be properly vented to the exterior and gas connections should be checked for leaks.

Make sure that your electrical system is safe and in good working order. Flickering lights, burned fuses and popping breakers are signs of a problem. Make sure that handrails, grab bars and other safety devices are properly anchored. Consider hiring a home inspector for a more thorough report.

• Preventative Maintenance – One of the best things that you can do for your budget in the New Year is to prevent small maintenance projects from becoming BIG repair nightmares with equally BIG bills!

Our dad’s mantra; ‘an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure’ has as much meaning today as it did when we first heard it as children. Repairing a leaking roof, sealing gaps in siding, painting bare wood, replacing damaged decking, patching cracks in concrete, caulking around sinks, tubs and showers and other preventative maintenance tasks will keep your home in tip top shape and save you lots of money in the long run.

• Conserving Energy – A New Years resolution that should be on everyone’s list is conserving energy. Utility bills have gone through the roof and it doesn’t look like relief is anywhere in sight. Thus, one’s best defense is a strong offense. This one won’t cost an arm and a leg to do and you can perform most of the work yourself.

Some energy conserving upgrades to consider: install a programmable thermostat; replace incandescent light bulbs with compact florescent lighting; prevent drafts with weather stripping around doors and windows, install low flow shower heads and aerators; fix leaking faucets; install Energy Star appliances; install energy efficient heating and cooling equipment; upgrade

insulation and install replacement windows. There’s more, but you get the picture.

• Go Green – Kermit the frog coined the phrase; ‘it isn’t easy being green.’

However, when it comes to your home, being ‘green’ or environmentally conscious is easier than ever as more building product manufacturers produce green products. Environmentally friendly building products and materials are available for virtually every category – windows, doors, siding, decking, fencing, roofing, lumber, flooring and insulation — to name a few. Think ‘green’ the next time you make a home improvement purchase.

Chances are the material will last longer and you’ll help save the Earth.

• Improve Comfort – For many of us, home is where the heart is. It is also our refuge – where we are increasingly spending more of our free time – away from the stress of work and the world.

Thus, we suggest that you resolve to make your home as comfortable as you can for you and your family. This can include comfy couches and seating; a splash of color here and there with paint, fabric or flooring; getting rid of clutter and ‘opening up’ the space in your home; allow in more natural light with updated window treatments; and organize closets and storage. Create a special place in the garden as a retreat. Add a water feature – the sound of trickling water can be very therapeutic.

Happy New Year!

garnishments, lawsuits and foreclosure to discharging second mortgages, lines of credit and income taxes.

Law Office of Michael J. Primus Bankruptcy allows individuals or businesses in financial trouble to have debts forgiven or, in some cases, make payment arrangements. Often “liquidation” or “reorganization” are the words used to sum up the process when you file for bankruptcy. There are several kinds of bankruptcy cases but Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 are the most common.

Which option you should choose depends on several factors and it’s a good idea to consult with a lawyer to discuss this complicated matter.

Michael Primus of the Law Offices of Michael J. Primus can help. As a bankruptcy lawyer with twenty years of bankruptcy experience, Michael Primus has devoted his career to helping people with financial problems. A caring person by nature, Michael chose the law, and bankruptcy specifically, in order to help people.

Sometimes all it takes is just one additional expense like a dental emergency or an expensive car repair that has people turning to credit cards or payday loans to get through the next month, which can lead to a cycle of charging and trying to catch up.

Bankruptcy can help reorganize debts, stop creditor harassment, discharge credit card debt, and everything from stopping

With an extensive knowledge of bankruptcy law, Michael Primus mentors other lawyers and is someone many other lawyers call on when they have problems in court. He says getting a fresh start in life is what he wants his clients to walk away with, after having done business with him. In return, he gets to help people turn their lives around. “Many people assume my work is depressing, but the opposite is true. I fix horrible problems and my clients are so appreciative,” says Michael.

Raised in Concord and serving Contra Costa County since 1992, Michael and the professionals at the Law Offices of Michael J. Primus are local people, helping the community. Over the years they have helped thousands of people get a fresh start through bankruptcy and they can help you too. In addition, Michael is top rated by www.lawyers.com, the Better Business Bureau, as well as www. avvo.com. With offices in Antioch, Walnut Creek and Hercules, plus a free 30-minute in-office consultation, you can be on your way to a new start very quickly.

For many, filing for bankruptcy can feel devastating. But bankruptcy doesn’t have to be the end. Instead, it can be a new beginning. Call Michael Primus today and get started on your road to financial freedom.

Testimonials He is very personable and knowledgeable at what he does! His staff was helpful with follow through. My husband and I felt totally comfortable in his hands and he made a very difficult time for us a lot less stressful! I would recommend Him and his services without question! – Michelle H. At a time where it seems impossible to get a helping hand and no hope in sight we found Michael Primus. Michael made us feel comfortable and informed of all the necessary steps that we had to take throughout our financial crisis. He is a professional and I consider him a friend.

– Eric Michael made the bankruptcy process easy to understand and provided great service, with respect and kindness towards us. I highly recommend Mr. Primus and his knowledgeable staff to help you. – Dave

Instead, gently apply the brakes to regain control and slowly guide the vehicle to a safe area away from the road.

Safety and Maintenance Tips for Busy Women A lot of women are living at a hectic pace these days.

Many work full time. They take their kids to daycare and after-school activities.

And a lot of women have the additional responsibility of being the household “car care manager.” While car care typically has been considered “men’s work,” research by the Car Care Council shows that women represent 60 percent of automotive service customers in North America , and women spend more than $300 billion annually on vehicle maintenance, repairs and used vehicles, according to American Woman Road and Travel (AWRT).

Air pressure: To help avoid under-inflation, the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) recommends checking your tires’ air pressure at least once a month and before every long trip. Tires must be checked when they are cold - that is, before they have been run no more than one mile. Under-inflation is the leading cause of tire failures/blowouts. Tires lose air through a process called permeation.

Changes in outdoor temperature can affect the rate at which a tire loses air.

Typically, a tire loses one pound to two pounds of pressure per month, and even more in warm weather. Never “bleed” or reduce air pressure when tires are hot. It is normal for pressures to build up as a result of driving.

Here are safety and maintenance tips from Mr. Goodwrench that will help your vehicle run at its best heading into the spring and summer travel seasons.

Tread wear & when to buy a new tire: You can check your tires for proper tread by taking a penny and pinching Lincoln ‘s body between your thumb and forefinger.

Put Lincoln ‘s head in a groove on the tread. If any part of Lincoln ‘s head is obscured by the tread, the tire has good tread. If you can see above his head, you need to get new tires.

Blowouts: If your tire sustains a blowout while you are driving, do not slam on your

Batteries: A weak battery can leave you stranded - possibly at the worst time and place.

Brakes: An expert inspection can determine whether your brakes are functioning properly with full braking capability.

Windshield wipers: Old or worn windshield wipers can lead to poor visibility in adverse weather conditions.

Headlamps: Properly aimed headlamps are a must for optimizing your visibility both your seeing and your being seen.

Oil: Change your oil and filter at intervals recommended in your owner’s manual to minimize engine wear and reduce the possibility of internal damage.

Fluid levels: Improper fluid levels including coolant, oil, power steering, transmission, brake fluid and even washer solvent - can negatively affect vehicle durability, performance and safety.

Belts and hoses: A broken belt or ruptured hose can cause costly engine damage and travel delays.
