WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?

removal and more. I especially like the “beauty spa” atmosphere where you can receive a variety of facials, peels and waxing services. That is perfect way to start your journey to enhance your “natural beauty”.

Total Care For Total Health Well, if you are into chasing rainbows, this year’s February is just for you.

However, you may need a small boat to get around the farmlands. With all the trees asleep for winter and rain filled furrows, it clearly has been a “wet” and “cold” winter.

What a great time to do a little research on a local business that can get you ready for sunny days ahead.

Most of us have either heard of Botox or have it scheduled on their yearly calendar. I would like to introduce you to a place where you can learn about all of the amazing procedures and services offered in the world of aesthetics. At Delta Aesthetics, Dr Ness, MD and his staff provide patients with top-quality cosmetic services.

You can receive both surgical and non-surgical procedures. These include liposuction, Blepharoplasty and Botox, Juvederm, laser hair removal, tattoo

I love how the entire team believes the importance of “total care for total health”, all under the supervision of a qualified medical doctor and highly trained staff. Extra ten points! Each individual is treated with the utmost care to deliver the best possible results for the service designed exclusively for them. There is a $50 consult fee that can be deducted from your scheduled service, so it is basically FREE. Other services offered are Microneedling, ThermiVa, and taking care of those unsightly and painful varicose veins. So now you are probably thinking, “I have always wanted to find out more about the procedures all my girlfriends are having done”, so, pick up the phone and talk to one of these specialists. All patients are treated like family and given the professional attention they deserve. And, after your treatment, you receive extensive followup care to ensure the best possible results. Another ten points.

What does it cost? Best thing to do is schedule a consultation and they can discuss all your options and give you a quote based on your specific needs and goals. Then subtract your $50 and get started, it is just that easy. Especially when there is that special day or event on your calendar that you have to look your very best. And, if you sign up, you can get the monthly newsletter with specials on procedures and products.

I told you it was easy. Unfortunately cosmetic services are not covered typically under insurance unless deem necessary to correct due to a medical complication, however Delta Aesthetics offer Care Credit as a finance option for their patients if needed.

So, Dr. Ness and your amazing team, the Monthly Grapevine gives you ten shining stars for delivering quality service with such a caring heart to bring out the beauty in all of us. This secret shopper invites all our readers to add a consult with Dr. Ness on your 2019 “To Do” list.

Who will be snooped next? It could be you.

Delta Aesthetics can be reached at 925-757-5311 or visit their website DeltaAesthetics.com.

FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH

actually inhibit the normal development of the upper jaw.

Tongue thrusting is another habit which can cause a lot of damage in jaw development and teeth growth and position. If this habit persists after the age of 4 to 5 years, there is an increasing likelihood that this pattern will remain. Even the child’s speech patterns can be negatively affected.

Habits in Children Causing Orthodontic Problems Habits can be responsible for a number of orthodontic and orthopedic problems and should be addressed as soon as possible. When treated immediately most of the problems caused by habits can be reversed. However, when no intervention occurs a serious malocclusion is inevitable.

A thumb or finger sucking habit can initially cause the upper front teeth to move forward and the lower front teeth to move back. Sometimes it can prevent the front teeth from erupting normally. If this is not treated as soon as possible it can lead to the narrowing of the upper jaw causing a anterior open bite and a smaller lower jaw.

Lip biting and lip sucking of the lower lip can cause the upper teeth to tip forward and the lower teeth to tip back. Over time this causes an increase in the amount of over jet. Biting or sucking the upper lip can

Nocturnal grinding or buxism can occur in children. This is usually a sign of an existing malocclusion. It could also be an indicator that the child is suffering from an airway problem. Children with huge adenoids and chronic allergy rhinitis tend to develop mouth breathing habits. This causes narrowing of the upper and lower jaws and open mouth with prominent upper front teeth.

Early diagnosis and treatment of these habits can prevent major dental and jaw problems in children and also protecting the self esteem in children due to speech problems. Therefore, regular checkups with the dentist are highly recommended to monitor and recognize impediments to normal facial growth and correct these problems early on and if need be the dentist will work with the pediatrician and ENT specialist for the best welfare of the child.

them valuable time and money.

iRS Cleaners In 1855, after his maid accidentally overturned a kerosene lamp on his tablecloth, French dye-works owner, Jean Baptiste Jolly noticed that the tablecloth became cleaner. So, like many inventions, dry cleaning came about by accident and Jolly began to offer this new service, operating through his dye-works company, calling it “dry cleaning.”

These days, you don’t have to have your clothes cleaned in kerosene or gasoline to get them fresh and clean. Just visit iRS Cleaners, using safe earth-friendly and allergen free products, it’s your one stop shop for all your dry-cleaning needs.

Wanting to own their own piece of the American Dream, owner’s Joe and Kathy Grosser felt a dry-cleaning business was the perfect opportunity to provide a service they had used in the past. Since 2002, they have been providing quality dry cleaning services to east county residents.

Joe and Kathy tell us the best part of owning their business is, “Number one is when we see our customer’s smiling faces, especially when we identify them by first name and usually know what their needs will be for that visit and we have accomplished out mission to meet their cleaning needs to their satisfaction!” Kathy adds that customers/ families that have busy schedules, we offer Free Weekly Scheduled pick-up and delivery service in the Brentwood and Discovery Bay areas, which many of our customers love. It frees them to spend more time doing the things that are more important and saves

Kathy loves working alongside a great all female staff. iRS Cleaners keeps their cleaning “in house,” whereas other cleaners may contract out their services to big warehouses out of the area. And they go the extra mile to ensure they meet customer’s needs. Whether it is extending their same day service times beyond the normal for that emergency, earlier pick up time for the occasion that arises at the last minute or exhausting every possible means to remove all spots.

They also consult regularly with colleagues in the cleaning business and keeping up with the industry changes and textiles to make sure customer’s clothes are the best that they can be.

Some of the great features you’ll find when using iRS Cleaners are, free home pick-up and delivery, alterations of all kinds, suede and leather cleaning, free same day services on all dry cleaning and laundry in by 12 o’clock Monday through Friday, with all work being done on premises.

Looking toward the future, iRS Cleaners hopes to expand their business to other locations in the area, as the economy permits. And, having been voted the Best of Brentwood many times, they are humble and grateful. They look forward to see what 2019 has in store for them!

In addition to running their business, Joe and Kathy enjoy being involved in the community. In the past, they have donated to local youth organizations, Community Chests and cleaned our high school mascot’s costumes and provided cleaning for the Brentwood Ballet Company. Having the highest respect for the military, they also

have provided free cleaning and repairs to our military families that are currently serving our great country or those who have lost a loved one. Kathy also works alongside with Holy Rosary Church pressing at no cost, the flags for our fallen loved ones.

TESTIMONIALS It’s a pleasant surprise to have clean, crisp, fresh clothing delivered weekly. iRS Cleaners will deliver to your home or office and they always deliver with a smile. Try them, and you’ll be glad you did! -- K. Spann, Discovery Bay So happy to find a cleaners who understands a military press! They already knew the creases and collar style that I am asking for.

The staff is very friendly and helpful, they know who I am the minute I walk in the door. My time is valuable so I can just drop and run and be sure my clothes are ready on time. Great turn around, I can have my clothes as early as next day. – D. Hildago, Brentwood What would I do without iRS Cleaners, I commute to Hayward every day and the last thing I need to worry about is my drycleaning. They come to my home every week providing me with nice crisps dress shirts and pants. If anyone asks me where I get my cleaning, I always just say iRS Cleaners! – L. Kenevil

Who’s Who... in East County

When the time to clear the homestead of unnecessary debris arrives, there are many benefits for those who choose to rent a dumpster container. This is true whether they are renovating their residence, making the move to downsizing their house, or simply have the desire to spruce up their living space. Ardent’s Hauling residential driveway dumpster service makes any job easier by delivering the container of your choice to your driveway, allowing you three days to load at your own convenience, and returning to pick up the loaded container and haul it to the dump for you. It’s as simple as that.

Of course, there are other options. You could do your own hauling, but why put your vehicle at risk for stains, scratches, or foul odors? You could call for a special pickup, but then the job has to be done according to their schedule. It just makes perfect sense to rent a container, fill it up per your own agenda, and let someone else cart it all away.

Ardent’s Hauling accepts large appliances, e-waste, yard waste, mattresses, car batteries, all household junk and much more for a flat rate. 6 cubic yard dumpster trailers are available, and for more arduous projects, a 10 cubic yard roll-off box can be leased. Flat rates make it easy to stay within your budget and the low prices make dumpster rental a cost effective way to deal with the burden of rubbish removal.

Family owned and operated, this Antioch company has been serving the East Bay since 2005. Customers can call the office to request a container or simply make their dumpster arrangements online via their website or Yelp. Take the stress out of a messy venture, save money, and keep a better focus on the task at hand by renting a container from Ardent’s Hauling when it’s time to conquer the clutter.

ON THE HOUSE

Springtime Sprinkler Tune-Up Although all signs might be pointing to the arrival of spring, the soil beneath the landscape is always the last to thaw. Starting your sprinkler system while the ground is still frozen can result in damage to the pipes. Use a shovel to make sure that the soil is frostfree 12 inches deep. If it is still solid as a rock, then wait another week and test it again before starting the sprinkler system.

Run a check of the irrigation controls and programs. This includes dusting away the cobwebs on the timer, making sure the date and time is correct, and that the settings are appropriate for your landscape’s watering needs. Replace the back-up battery in the timer/controller every 6 months, and keep a copy of the watering schedule nearby.

Check for rocks, dirt, sand and other types of debris that may block the even flow of water from sprinkler heads. Uneven distribution can lead to too much water in some areas and not enough in others, both resulting in an unhealthy landscape

and wasted water. Inspect spray heads and make sure they haven’t become buried and debris has not accumulated around them during the winter.

open the main water valve slowly to allow pipes to fill with water in a gradual and controlled manner, thus preventing a water hammer and costly damage.

Nozzles and sprinkler heads are designed to withstand normal wear and tear of irrigation, but are no match for errant lawn mowers, the neighbor’s dog or snowplows. Replace cracked, chipped or worn components, such as sprinkler heads, nozzles, valves or pipes. A broken sprinkler can wreak havoc on lawns, gardens, and water bills, so it is important to check and replace them periodically.

When you first turn the main water valve back on, make sure the water pressure is at a safe operating range for sprinkler systems. A system with too much pressure will result in cracked pipes, busted valves, sprinkler head leaks and inefficient watering. Invest in a water pressure gauge that can be used to measure water pressure in your home and yard. These devices typically connect to a hose faucet and give you a good idea of the pressure in your irrigation system.

If the pressure is above the suggested operating range (typically 40 - 65 PSI), a pressure regulator may be required to prevent damage to the sprinkler system or undesirable results. For example, if water is “misting” out of your sprinkler heads, your pressure is too high and should be reduced.

Valves are the heart of any irrigation system. They regulate the distribution of water throughout the entire system. A leaky valve will waste water, and increase your water bill. Visually inspect each valve to make sure they are operating properly.

Before turning on any water to the system, make sure all manual drain valves are returned to the closed position. Overly wet areas in the lawn, resulting in muddy and/or barren patches, may be a result of a leaky valve.

Water hammer is a high-pressure surge that occurs when a valve is first opened.

An initial pressure surge can result in pipe bursts and damaged valves. When restoring water to your sprinkler system,

PATRICK MCCARRAN

How is the Market?

Should I still Buy? There has been a great deal of chatter about whether the sky falling and with it the housing market. What most alarmists do not discuss is that only a small percentage of loans in the USA are over $750,000 and over one third are owned outright. The factors that led to a crash in 2008 are not in paly today. The PRIMARY reason to own a home is UNCHANGED. The WHY you should own is relatively easy.

Rents are high and with the strong resistance to building they will continue to rise and be unpredictable, when you own you know what your payment will be and it your home not the landlord to dictate rules. Mortgage interest will most likely remain the largest deduction for the middle class. Mortgage interest rates remain historically low and there is a fair amount of inventory from which to choose.

24

So what’s holding you back? Down Payment?

Many people are intimidated by the widely publicized 20-percent down-payment requirement. There are many federal programs and other methods designed to help homebuyers, and even those who have lost their homes to foreclosure.

For example, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and FHA have loans available to first-time buyers with as little as 3-3.5% percent down.

If you qualify there are a number of programs and grants that can help with the down payment. With a seller credit for closing costs I have gotten buyers into a home for as little as $500 out of pocket. For veterans, the VA program has no-down-payment loans available for qualifying military members and veterans that can close with almost no out of pocket money.

Why wait? What’s the worst that could happen if you buy a home now? You’ve already seen it, the 2007 mortgage crisis. It will take generations before the government lets the banking systems get that far out of hand again. It is far more likely that home prices will steadily climb as they have been.

Americans are back to work and leading the global economy out of stagnation. The American population will continue to grow and build families of all types, creating more demand for housing. Look at the homeownership benefits that are mostly forgotten

The Monthly Grapevine™ DELTA EDITION MARCH 2019

by today’s potential homebuyers -- the chance to build equity (instead of throwing rent down the drain) and the opportunity to customize your own environment.

As a homeowner, you have the benefit of security and stability, as well as the freedom to decorate and remodel. You can redo your kitchen, build a deck, put in a swimming pool, or add a playroom for the kids and make your house a home.

Instead of paying your landlords mortgage you can build equity for yourself and get the tax benefit as well. With each monthly mortgage payment, you’ll own more and more of your home and when you finish paying off the mortgage, every dollar your home is worth is yours.

That’s what has always motivated Americans to own their own home. And it isn’t going to change in the long run. Grab the American Dream now. Call a REALTOR and Loan officer you have nothing to loose and everything to gain!

They make it easy to schedule and worked within our time constraints to get our truck ready for a trip over the Sierra's and even worked the weekend to make it travel ready.
