I think I speak for all readers of The Monthly Grapevine when I declare today that I’m ready for Spring. I’m looking forward to the wonderful weather of East County and seeing the residents out and about. The beautiful colors of nature will be all around us, and the long sleeves and umbrellas will disappear with the rain.

GRAPHIC DEPARTMENT

If you really think about it, Spring is a time for discovery. You discover that you need to spruce up your yard; maybe try some new plants or landscaping. You discover that mounds of miscellaneous materials have gathered in several corners of your home, and they need to get organized. You discover that it’s time to do something different with your hair, or that your kids don’t fit into their warm-weather clothes from last year. I’m pleased to let you know that the pages of The Monthly Grapevine are filled with many solutions to help you take care of these discoveries, so you can “spring” into a new season!

Silva Enterprises If you’re like most Americans, your greatest asset is your home. But with recent declines in home values, it may be time to consider options for preserving your home’s value. Since the value of your home is directly tied to its condition, Silva Enterprises Handyman can help you care for and preserve the value of what is most likely your largest investment…your home.

When you need an affordable handyman for a simple repair or a more complex home improvement, you can count on the professional craftsman at Silva Enterprises. With more than 14 years in the construction industry and a love for building things, Francisco Silva founded Silva Enterprises Handyman in 2008. The company is comprised of highly skilled craftsmen who previously worked building homes for various homebuilders, so you know they’ll get the job done right.

The professional and courteous staff has a real desire to understand your needs and offer advice and the expertise to develop a project that is right for you. For Francisco and his crew, their client’s happiness with their project is top priority.

They ensure satisfaction by offering personal attention and friendly service, combined with quality workmanship.

With Silva Enterprises Handyman, one call does it all. There’s no need to make multiple phone calls and set up different appointments for your home or business.

Make one phone call, schedule one convenient appointment and they’ll take care of all the home or business maintenance and repair projects on your list. They take pride in helping homeowner’s solve problems big and small, whether it’s a squeaky door or how to make more space for a growing family.

While they specialize in kitchens and bathrooms, they can do almost any type of work for a home or business.

Silva Handyman is committed to providing you with custom home solutions that fit your needs and goals, while still being cost effective. You won’t have to hire separate contractors, which can raise the cost of your project.

They will take care of all your household projects, no matter how big or small, and can handle parts of your project or the whole thing. From kitchens, bathrooms, room additions, painting and electrical projects to drywall/sheetrock, pluming, ceiling fan installs, landscaping, packing/ moving services and flooring, Silva really can handle everything on your to-do list for you. They have the tools, skills and, most of all, the time to complete all the odd jobs you’ve been trying to get to or the construction project that will turn your house into your dream home.

Testimonials I have had Francisco work for me off and on over the last 2 years. His company

prides itself on the quality of work & cleanliness when working on the job.

He has always been more than fair with his pricing. Also he is very prompt to give an estimate when needed. I would recommend his company from building a home to installing something small.

He is very considerate and great to work. I give him 5 STARS!!! -- P. Hill We hired Silva Enterprises Handyman to completely redo our house. They handled the design, engineering, and construction. Our project included a new kitchen, four new baths, repairing a lot of dry riot, remove popcorn ceiling, painting the house inside and out, added stamped concrete, built a retaining wall, demolition of two fireplaces and rebuilding with new stone, building a barbeque island, replacing the garage doors, replacing all the windows and doors, built fire pit, lots of granite, replacing the carpet, repairing drainage and landscaping.

Francisco and his team did all the work on time and on budget. We did not know Francisco when we selected him, however during the selection process, Francisco had the best ideas and his pricing was reasonable. Since starting our project, we have had 5 different friends use Silva Enterprises and they are all very pleased. We highly recommend Silva Enterprises! --J. Carey, Alamo Silva Enterprises Handyman can be contacted at 925-783-3414 or visit them at www.silva-enterprises.com.

TRAVEL TIME

Escape Completely© in 2012 Here we are again and it’s almost spring.

Our winter has been a different one.

We were certainly lulled into that false feeling of spring in January and then we hit February when we had snow several times, especially with the weekend after President’s Day. So perhaps it’s time to think warm and think ahead to 2012.

Sounds impossible doesn’t it? But it is not.

We’ve got two very specially priced cruise we want to tell you about on Princess Cruises, where, of course you will and you always ESCAPE COMPLETELY©.

Our first cruise is to the Mexican Riviera roundtrip from San Francisco. It is on the STAR PRINCESS, and it is a 10 day cruise. Just take a look at this itinerary and you will be glad you are going.

Embarkation of the ship is on April 3, 2012.

Ports include Catalina Island, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, Cabo San Lucas and San Diego. And particularly so you can enjoy what ship’s life is all about, there are also 4 fantastic days at sea to just stroll around the ship, relax and do your thing. Rates begin at $1389 for an ocean view room and for a balcony room $1799. This is a ONE TIME cruise for Princess and space will not last, so call us today to book it.

There is another cruise we want to tell you about in April of 2012 on the same STAR PRINCESS. It begins on April 13, 2012, and it will go to the Hawaiian Islands for 15 wonderful days. Your ports of call will be Hilo, Honolulu, Nawiliwili for the island of Kauai, Lahaina on the island of Maui and on the return trip to San Francisco, a short stop in Ensenada.

If you like sea days, this is your cruise.

You ask how many days? Well, we’ll tell you. There are 9 days of ocean travel for this cruise, as it takes 4 days to get to the ISLANDS OF ALOHA and 4 days to get back. Your other at sea day is when you leave Ensenada for San Francisco. Your rates for an ocean view room on this cruise are $2220 and for a balcony room $2755.

You can book any of these cruises by calling us today at 925-679-8428. These are specially selected itineraries for roundtrip travel from San Francisco.

Get spoiled, be spoiled and ESCAPE COMPLETELY©. In other Princess news, just in case you are on board at the time…The highly anticipated Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton will be televised live on Princess ships on April 29. Passengers will be able to follow along with full coverage of the pomp and majesty of the historic wedding through BBC World’s broadcast of the event.

Not only can passengers follow along as the future princess walks down the aisle, but they’ll enjoy viewing parties on board as they watch the most extensive coverage of this royal event. BBC is the official wedding broadcaster and has exclusive access inside Westminster Abbey during the ceremony.

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.

WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?

Get me to the Airport, Please!

Well, Cupid just shot hundreds of arrows into the Far East County to welcome in Valentine’s Day. It was amazing driving through the streets of Brentwood with all of the red balloons in front of local businesses and on the end of a six foot ribbon being stuffed into the back seat of the car to make that good impression on loved ones. With the weather cooperating, the annual holiday of love seemed to come off without a glitch.

What a perfect time for this secret shopper to check in on a local business that can continue to make a special day even better.

Professional Air Shuttle Service is “Your passport to convenience!” This local transportation company allows all travelers to take the worry out of getting to the airport on time. When I got this assignment I was pretty excited to tell our readers about this great company. Having used their service before, I was no stranger to what a valuable asset they are to those of us who don’t like to worry about all of the hassle of airports, parking and especially

dragging all that luggage to the front doors. How cool it is to have all your stuff on the front porch and deliver you and your “necessary” five extra suitcases to the front door of the airport, right on time? And they service the greater Bay area, East County and surrounding areas to Oakland, San Francisco and Sacramento Airports.

I think the part I liked most was their online website that lets you check availability, prices and sign up for exclusive offers and updates if you join their mailing list. You can email your questions and find out everything you need to know to make you trip to the airport less of a hassle and actually fun. And they pick up and drop off passengers at several convenient locations for an affordable, bargain price.

Did I mention if you were on a budget that they are the best place to shop for the best price on shuttle service?

They also provide DOOR TO DOOR SERVICE 24 hours a day, picking up and dropping off passengers to locations of their choosing. They can handle large numbers of passengers or very early or late delivery and pick-up. They are safe and reliable and can talk with you about your special needs with just a quick phone call. Having used big limousine companies in the past who always had a big excuse about their late arrival or

SAVINGS CLEANERS & PARK AVENUE CLEANERS

different price when the driver showed up, I personally found that Professional Air Shuttle Service arrived on time, was extremely pleasant and helpful, charged the price I was quoted and got me to the airport on time without a white knuckle ride. That counts two points in my book.

If you are like me and many of my friends, the thought of calling for a shuttle to the airport was something for those more fortunate than me. This was until the first time we priced the parking and the hassle of loading and unloading all of those bags at the curb while my husband had to park and run back to help me check in. What a pain in the “you know what!” And when it came down to it, it was actually more expensive. Now, we always use this service and have never looked back.

So, my pals at Pro Air, thanks for getting me to my flight on time and not complaining about my extra baggage.

You are an absolute asset to this area and a pleasure to work with. The Monthly Grapevine gives you five sets of silver wings for your excellent service and kindness to me, and I am sure, all who use your service. Who will be snooped next?

It could be you!

HEALTH

FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH

Ankylosing Spondylitis and Dentistry Oral health is an important part of systemic health. We are beginning to understand more and more links between poor oral health and other diseases of the body, such as the link between gum disease and respiratory or cardiovascular disease. Recent research has indicated an association between chronic noncurable diseases like gum disease and rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Anyone who has experienced these types of arthritis firsthand or in a family member or friend understands how life changing it can be.

Ankylosing spondylitis is an autoimmune disease which causes chronic inflammation of the joints, mainly the spine and the pelvis, and can cause eventual fusion of the spine.

Men are affected more than women in a ratio of 3:1. It is a very painful condition. Spondylitis can affect the temperomandibular joint. About 10%

of those affected with ankylosing spondlylitis experience limited movement of the TMJ. Loss of teeth due to gum disease or cavities can alter the bite, leading to further degeneration of the joint. Clenching and grinding teeth can aggravate the TMJ pain as well. The majority of those with TMJ pain achieve relief of symptoms with conservative treatment. Spondylitis can lead to osteoporosis which can affect bone remodeling, leading to loss of teeth and TMJ problems and even jaw fractures.

Depending on the degree of osteoporosis activity, rheumatologists or physicians may prescribe bisphosphonate which prevents bone deterioration.

This drug runs a slight risk of causing osteonecrosis (unhealing or crumbling of the bone) if the patient gets a tooth removed. So it is extremely important for the dentist to know if you ever had to take bisphosphonate therapy.

Spondylitis can cause secondary Sjogren’s Syndrome that leads to dryness of the eyes and mouth. The salivary glands may get swollen. Dry mouth causes severe tooth decay and gum disease because saliva is important in remineralization of the enamel, which in turn protects the enamel surface

from getting destroyed by the bacteria in the mouth. A strict regimen of oral hygiene is important along with salivary replacement therapy to protect the teeth and the gums.

Therefore, your visit to the dentist is important to the health of the rest of the body, not just your teeth and gums and at your initial dental appointment, it is important to discuss your health history with your dentist. Early intervention can lead to appropriate preventative management, thereby minimizing negative health consequences of tooth decay or gum disease leading to loss of teeth.

HOME

PRUDENTIAL REALTY

I would always advise my clients to seek advice from an attorney under bankruptcy protection a well. Many homeowners have incurred a substantial amount of debt in this economy and a bankruptcy may be a good option to help you afford to keep your home by eliminating burdensome debt. Although legally you may not need to pursue a short sale after the bankruptcy, in regard to credit building it is still a good option. One of the most compelling reasons for a short sale over a foreclosure is the simple fact that it puts you back in charge of your immediate future. With a short sale, you will have a plan of action and a time table.

show. It would take years just to break even on the balance of the loan. This likens your situation to a long term lease. This may be a viable scenario depending on your goals.

Mortgage Mortality?

Foreclosure or simply walking away from the home is another option. There are, of course, pros and cons to this approach. The legal repercussions can vary depending on each individual’s situation. California is a nonrecourse state and has what is called a one action rule which basically states that if your home is foreclosed and sold by the trustee, that is the only recourse for the lender. Which means, generally speaking, you can walk away with little or no legal consequence. These rules can apply to primary homes and second or investment property. I would definitely advise anyone seeking foreclosure to seek legal advise for their individual scenarios.

We have probably all heard the term strategic default by now. This is when a home owner realizes that their home is no longer an asset. Many home owners are deciding that it does not make financial sense to stay when they can walk away with little consequence. Loan modification, Short Sale or Strategic Default; which one is right for you? These are questions many of us are asking in the current economy. The answer, however, is a very individual decision.

Let me be clear, I am not advocating to anyone to ignore their financial obligations.

What I am saying is that you should look at your own situation and make the decision that is best for YOU and your family and not the bank. I advocate a business approach which is what the Banks use in their decision making process. It is not personal, it’s just business. It is very important that you should be informed about your options and possible consequences.

If you are considering a strategic default I suggest you look into a short sale as an option.

Many lenders are now offering modifications to homeowners in distress. These are generally what I consider “band-aid” solutions as the banks seldom offer principal reductions. Usually the bank will offer to lower you payment over a fixed period of time and slowly raise it. They accomplish this by extending the payment over a longer period and tier the interest rate to make the payments affordable. The problem with these terms is that without a principle reduction you are not building equity. In today’s market where a homes value may be upside down or have a negative equity of over 70% current appreciation projections

A Short Sale is when the borrower/owner sells a property during a pre-foreclosure process. It is called a short sale because the owner will sell the property “short” of the balance owed on the note, not because it is quick. Over the last twelve months the various banks and lending institutions have become much more workable in approving short sales. Because a short sale is perceived as a proactive choice by the borrower, the credit compiling agencies tend to score it higher than a foreclosure or a deed-in-lieu.

ON THE HOUSE

Furnace Maintenance Saves Energy and Expense If your home isn’t as toasty as you’d like this winter, perhaps a heating system tune-up is in order.

No furnace will continue to operate efficiently without periodic maintenance.

Keeping the home’s heating system clean, lubricated, properly adjusted, and replacing the filter regularly will not only result in more efficient heating, but will also extend the life of the system and save energy and expense. Ideally, the furnace should be inspected and serviced by a professional heating contractor or qualified technician at least once a year, preferably before each heating season begins. Many heating companies offer such a service at a reasonable price. If you do your own maintenance, a qualified professional should examine the system every three to five years.

The first step in furnace maintenance is to replace the dirty furnace filter with a clean one. The purpose of the filter on a

forced-air furnace is to keep dust, soot, and other contaminants out of the air that is blown into your living area. Once the filter has been sufficiently coated with this grime, it causes the furnace blower to work harder, making it more costly to operate and shortening its life span. Since filter size and location vary from furnace to furnace, you’ll need to check the owner’s handbook. If an owners handbook doesn’t exist, this information usually can be found on the furnace or on an inside panel of the furnace. Some furnaces have more than one filter that will need replacement; one near the blower and one at each cold air return. Buying replacement filters by the case will cut down on the unit price and will make replacement convenient.

There is nothing more disturbing than a furnace that sounds like an automobile skidding out of control each time the blower engages. If such is the case in your home, chances are that the fan belt needs to be replaced or adjusted. The fan belt should typically “give” only about 1/2 inch.

In most cases, moving the motor bracket will usually be all that’s required.

Note: Here’s a trick that will help you decide on a good quality filter. If you can pour salt through the filter it’s no good.

If it can’t hold salt, it certainly won’t filter particles of dust and pollen.

Finally, the burners should be adjusted to ensure that they mix the proper amount of fuel and air for safe and efficient combustion. This is something that most utility companies will do free as a service for their customers.

The blower compartment of forced-air furnaces should be clean and dust-free.

Use a vacuum with a dust brush attachment to remove any lint, dust, or debris that may exist. The same should be done for the fire box or burner compartment. Caution: Make sure that the furnace is turned off and has had a chance to cool completely before attempting to clean it.

Any other squeaks and creaks can be silenced with a little lubrication. All bearings and other moving parts should be lubricated with fine machine oil. If the furnace is oil-fired, the bearings in the pump motor should also be oiled periodically. The fuel filter in the main oil line should be replaced once a year.

And, that’s all there is to it. For more home improvement tips and information, visit our web site.
