When you look at our daily routines, it’s generally pretty easy to find ways to lessen the impact on our environment and now is a great time to start.

Eliminate single serving items: Bottled beverages require lots of packaging, energy and air and water pollution just to get that liquid to your mouth. Avoid single-serving items and bring a coffee mug and water bottle wherever you go. Make your home chemical-free: There are nearly 80,000 chemicals in conventional cleaning products. Most end up down the drain or in our bodies. Use green cleansers, providing safer alternatives. Get out of your car: Consider biking or walking to the grocery store, to work, and shop locally. Eat local and organic: Purchase meat, fruit, veggies, and grains from your local farm’s and farmers’ markets, or choose local food at supermarkets. This supports local farmers and 4

“I have continually advertised with the Monthly Grapevine since 1990. It has been instrumental in the ongoing success of our business, in good times and slow times we always advertise with the Monthly Grapevine.”
"This is a long-overdue "thank you" for faithfully running our "ad" each month for the breast cancer support group at Sutter Delta Hospital. The local newspapers have fallen by the wayside in providing us exposure to the local population, but all the new women who contact me have inevitably seen the nice ad in your publication and are able to get support. Thought you would like to know what a great public service you are providing."

PRUDENTIAL REALTY
Packing Tips to Get You Moving Packing is one of those dreaded but necessary chores of moving, but it can be a manageable task by starting early, having a plan and not waiting until the last minute. Moving is stressful enough without running out of time. Try to give yourself at six weeks, which gives you enough time to pack a few boxes each day. Take a rough inventory of your items to determine how many packing boxes you will need. As a rule of thumb, use small boxes for small, heavy items such as books and canned goods; medium-size for bulkier, not so heavy items like linens and pots; and reserve larger boxes for very bulky, lightweight items. Obtain boxes from a u-haul dealer, a local storage facility or home improvement store. To cut expenses you may get boxes from a fast food chain, supermarket and liquor stores. Also, consider investing in specialty boxes, such as wardrobe and mirror/ painting cartons. Besides boxes, make sure you have marking pens, packing peanuts or bubble wrap, strong 2-inch wide packing
tape, and unprinted newspaper. The ink from printed newspaper can rub off onto your individual items.
down on a 3-4 inch cushion of crumpled newspaper. Top off the box with 2 to 3 inches of crumpled paper.
Pack strategically. Plan out how you will pack up your belongings. Decide what needs to be packed first, such as seldom used and out-of-season items. Then, work your way up to everyday items, like dishes.
Artwork and mirrors: Wrap all pieces individually with bubble wrap or cardboard. For artwork framed behind glass or mirrors, tape an “X” across the mirror to keep pieces in places in case it should break. Place each piece in its own flat, fitted box and fill in any space with crumpled newspaper.
Decide what you will need to access as soon as you arrive at your destination. Write “Open First” on these boxes and load them onto the truck last or put them in your car. You also should pack a box with essentials for your first few nights and keep them with you, such as prescription medicine, toiletries, a telephone, a change of clothing, towels, toilet paper and bed linens. Make sure to protect your belongings. You’ll want to make sure that your belongings get from Point A to Point B in one piece. To avoid damage, follow these packing techniques. Before packing your computer, back up your data on either an online service such as Carbonite.com or a portable hard drive. If possible, pack the computer in its original boxes and packaging. If you no longer have them, use a box with shock resistant insulation or create padding at the bottom and all around the sides. Glasses and stemware: Stuff a bit of paper inside a glass, wrap the stem, then wrap each piece individually. Place glasses face

AUTO
WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?
several questions about their business and learned a great deal about the auto body business.
When your car has a bad day! What a beautiful day here in East Contra Costa County. The hillsides are a luscious green thanks to the recent storms and the local fruit trees are starting to bloom. The spring season seems to be gearing up for some warmer days and plenty of youth baseball. Yet, a continent away, Japan took a horrible beating from Mother Nature, and Americans are sending their good thoughts and prayers. In just one second, a good day can turn bad. Fortunately, there are local businesses that are there to take care of those bad situations, no matter how big or small.
Antioch Auto Body is a full service collision repair center. They are an I-CAR gold repair facility and continue to train employees and gain the latest certification. Their equipment is up-to-date and meets the highest safety regulations. They work closely with all insurance companies and remind each customer that they have the right to choose their auto body repair place when dealing with their insurance carrier. Now that is good to know. I love my car and I certainly would want the best service for her if needed.
Antioch Auto Body has been in business for 50 years and is recognized for their incredible customer service and quality of work when your automobile has one of those bad days. I stopped in to take a peek at their 14,000 square foot facility located in the Antioch Auto Center next to the AAA office. It is like a showplace and the people are so friendly. Since I didn’t have a dented car to show them, I told them I was just checking out the place since I was new to the area. I asked
I was pleased to hear that they give you a free computer print-out of your estimate so you know exactly what is going to be done and how much it will cost. While I was there, I overheard a conversation between a customer and the estimator. Not only was the estimator knowledgeable, but treated the customer with exceptional care and kindness. This counts two points in my book. They offer free shuttle service and pick up and drop off at the rental car office. They also offer towing assistance and will wash your car when the job is done. How cool is that? Antioch Auto Body is open M-F from 7am to 5pm and Saturday from 8-12pm. They also do glass replacement, air conditioner service, air bag replacement and diagnosis
and offer a limited lifetime warranty on their work. And the best part, they are experts in color match. Collectively, between the staff, manager and technicians, the average employment time is about 13 years. It is no wonder the customers feel so comfortable returning when they know the crew and how well they take care of their pride and joy. As a girl, I think the thing I liked best about my visit to Antioch Auto Body, is that everyone was so friendly and professional. Everything is handled precisely and well organized. You know exactly what is going to happen to your car, how long it is going to take, how much it will cost and even the most confusing names of car parts is explained so you understand completely before you trust them with your car. And, they speak Spanish. So, Antioch Auto Body, the Monthly Grapevine gives you five gold ribbons for your 50 years of dedication to the industry and taking such wonderful care of your customers and your employees. From the looks of the finished autos waiting to be picked up in the parking lot, you guys really are the place to go when you and your car have one of those unexpected bad days. Who will be snooped next? It could be you!
Antioch Auto Body can be contacted at 925-757-3586.
