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, 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!” Kathy adds that customers love the free pick up and delivery service, which saves them valuable time and money.
With husband and wife working alongside a great 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 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 & business pick-up and delivery, alterations of all kinds, suede and leather cleaning, free same day services on all dry cleaning and laundry in by 9am 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’ve got their eye on 2014! In addition to running their business, Joe and Kathy enjoy being involved in the community. In the past, they have participated in Cornfest, donated to
local youth organizations, Community Chests and cleaned our high school mascot’s costumes. 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. 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 was asking for. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Great turn around also, I dropped my clothes off Weds afternoon and have a Friday pick up time. They also offer free pick up/ delivery and same day pick up. - Kelli S., Discovery Bay When I was new to the area, I was pleased to find IRS Cleaners in the Grapevine. I can be picky about my clothes, and they always do them just the way I want them with a quick turnaround. - L. Townsend, Brentwood iRS Cleaners is located at 41 Sand Creek
Road in Brentwood. They can be contacted at 925-634-2811.

TRAVEL TIME
The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo An annual event in Edinburgh draws thousands each year and we are only too happy to tell you about it. The world famous Tattoo is an annual global gathering showcasing the talents of musicians and performers from around the world. The event takes place annually throughout August, as part of the wider Edinburgh Festival (a collective name for many independent festivals and events held in Edinburgh during August). It is held high above the skyline of Scotland’s capital, on Edinburgh Castle’s esplanade. For three weeks every August, Edinburgh Castle becomes an arena for military bagpipe bands and performers from around the world. With color and music and a light show on the ancient castle walls, this is the single most iconic event in Scotland (and a “must” see event if you plan to visit Scotland during August).
Every performance finishes with the lone bagpiper playing from the castle ramparts. There is also a gigantic street festival happening at the same time, called the “Fringe Festival.” This brings hundreds of street performers, plays & shows to town. It’s great fun, but together these performances draw hundreds of thousands of guests every August, so here’s some tips for seeing the Tattoo: 1. Purchase your tickets well in advance (with tour package or separately). Sales start around Christmas for the following year. Every performance will be sold out several months in advance. After that, your only chance is getting returns. Returns might be available that day if it rains. 2. Book your accommodation (or vacation package) as soon as you get your tickets (unless it’s included in the vacation package). Everything in the city books up during August. Yes, hotel prices go up during this time, but it’s worth it to go when everything is happening. 3. On performance night, take a taxi, bus or rickshaw to get close to the
Getaway From Your Everyday
castle. They know the roads that will be open. You have no chance of driving that night! 4. Be prepared; it usually rains (or can be cold), you have to queue for a long time (up to 1 hour) to get in, and if you are travelling by train and it runs late, you have to leave early and miss the best bit at the end. If you have the heart of a Scotsman, the Tattoo will become part of your soul! It is best to obtain an escorted tour price for this event so you are guaranteed to get tickets. They are in high demand each and every year, as are the hotels, so let Fred do the work. He’ll be glad to help you so you can Getaway From Your Everyday. Feel free to contact our resident Scotsmaster, Fred, and he’ll be only too happy to get you to the Tattoo for 2014. You will be glad you did and, yes, it is a family affair and good for one and all.

Who’s Who... in East County
About a year ago, Laura Rodriguez decided to give up her career in corporate America for a healthier and happier life. Laura holds an MBA from Cornell University, and has lived in Buenos Aires, Paris, Miami, Chicago, and the San Francisco Bay area. Having passed the big 4-0, she decided that life was too precious to be traveling constantly, working endless hours, and stressing so much. It is inspiring that she is opening her own childcare business and completely and courageously changing her life. Laura began by thoroughly researching the industry, visiting kindergartens, family childcare homes and centers, and consulting with various local childcare organizations. She also talked to all her friends with children, from different cultural backgrounds, to discuss what they felt was most needed in childcare. Laura found out that the area needed childcare for overnights, parent trips, weekends, and unexpected situations. She also saw the need for healthier programs with lots of outdoor activities, summer camps, after school programs, and special activities classes, like drama and art development. So she decided to incorporate all of this in her practice. According to friends, Laura’s interaction, dedication, and patience with kids is admirable. They say she is extremely respectful of children’s individual personalities, and instinctively knows how to communicate with them; when to encourage and praise, when to joke and play, when to give them their space; and they always respond positively to her. One friend says, “As a mother, leaving my children with her would give me great peace of mind. After all, most of us wish we could leave our kids with someone caring, educated, and with lots of common sense, but most of all, someone like us!”

HEALTH
FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH
Water Flosser Traditionally, personal oral hygiene starts with brushing and flossing. Interdental cleaning is a key step in a personal oral care regimen. Flossing is considered the gold standard of interdental care. A great benefit of flossing is that it reduces interproximal caries (cavities which start in between the teeth). Sometimes, due to arthritis or other health problems, flossing can be difficult to do. When given a choice, patients readily choose other interdental devices, such as, brushes and floss holders over floss. Studies have shown that if the product is cumbersome or difficult to do, it is not used as often it should be or not used at all. This holds true even in a life or death situation. For example, one out of eight people who have had a heart attack stopped taking all the medications within one month of the hospital discharge. Compliance with oral hygiene is no different. Data shows that only 2% to 10% of the population floss regularly and effectively. Brushing alone cannot remove all the plaque from the tooth surface even
when done correctly and thoroughly. It is recommended to brush the teeth at least for 2 minutes. However the average brushing time is only 37 seconds according to American Dental Association survey. Combination of brushing and flossing has shown clinically improving the health of the gums and the teeth. There is a water flosser, also known as a dental water jet, that has been in use for more than forty years as a personal oral care regimen, in addition to brushing. The water flosser helps in reducing gingivitis and gingival bleeding. The water flosser uses a combination of pulsation and pressure elements. The combination of pulsation and pressure expels debris and bacteria from in between the teeth and under the gums. Not all water flossers or dental water jets are the same; some have differences in the pressure and the pulsation specifications. The pulsating water can access areas that may not be accessible to a tooth brush. Cleaning around the crowns and bridges can be tedious and difficult. A water flosser can help to clean in between teeth and the gums. The water flosser is a good alternative to flossing when patients are having orthodontic treatment where it is difficult to clean around the braces and wires with regular brushing. Research
has shown that patients with gingivitis, periodontitis and diabetes can also benefit from using the water flosser. There are different designs of water flossers available and water is usually cost effective, but some of them accept mouthwashes, as well. Regular and effective self-care is important to the long term health of the teeth and gums. In addition to keeping up with the regular checkup and cleaning protocol at the dentists; brushing, flossing and using a water flosser has been shown to reduce gingivitis, bleeding, and reducing inflammation in the gums and periodontal tissues. This is especially true for those who are at increased risk for periodontal disease and in kids with special needs and having braces.

is the ceilings. What you don’t want on your ceiling are cracks, stains, or the dated popcorn ceilings if you can avoid it. If you have settlement cracks, you want to fix them correctly and stick to a neutral light color. Brighter rooms appear bigger, so avoid any non-bright colors, as they tend to shrink the room. This applies to the walls, as well. When you repaint a room it becomes “fresh.” Now, that sells. Wallpaper doesn’t work. One of the things you have to understand about wallpaper is that it’s personal… personal to you. As such, you need to get rid of it. Go get the wallpaper removal materials and get to work. Paneling, for the most part, has gone out of style. Some of it can be painted, but much like wallpaper, it needs to go.
Things To Fix Before You List So you’ve decided it’s time to sell your home. As with every Seller, you want the most money the current market will deliver within a reasonable period of time. To get your price, you need to know what Buyers are looking for, what items you’ll need to fix, and what improvements you can make to your home that will be both affordable and give you a return on your investment From The Bottom Up - When entering a room, the first thing a Buyer sees is the floor covering. Buyer’s choices have changed. Where carpet was once the favorite, wood floors have taken over. If you can remove carpets and install hardwood, you will greatly appeal to many more Buyers. If you must go with carpet, stick to a light tan or neutral colors. If you have tile flooring, fix the cracks and clean the grout.

Let’s Go Outside - If you need a roof, you have to get one. You may wish to resurface the driveway, plant some flowers, caulk the doors and windows, patch up the sidewalk cracks and paint or fix the fences. In the end, buyers want to buy a home that has no deferred maintenance. If you make your home ready to occupy… you’ll sell it faster and for more money, and that’s exactly what you want.
Kitchens Sell - Keeping Appliances and cabinets will save you lots of money. However, if they’re dated and worn out, selling the home can be a bit more challenging. I’d recommend resurfacing or new paint and hardware as an alternative. You don’t have to go top-end with kitchen remodels. The extra frills such as travertine floors, Sub-Zero refrigerators and 8-burner stoves won’t return your money. We know granite counter tops aren’t necessary… but I

Who’s Who... in East County
In business for nearly 20 years, owners of Kitchen Make-Overs, Jeff and JoAnn Baker were inspired to open their business when they saw a real need for homeowner’s in our community. They love people and working with cabinets (and they’re good at it), so they put the two together to find a win-win for both! Jeff has been in the construction business for over 30 years and, while this has given him many experiences, his passion is for cabinetwork. He carries general construction, painting and decorating, and also millwork and finish carpentry licenses. Kitchen Make-Overs’ objective is to help educate customers about money saving options that add functionality and preservation to their homes.

Don’t Throw Away Ashes If you burn wood, for warmth, cooking or whatever, the ashes that result can be unbelievably useful. And that’s a good thing, because a cord of firewood will leave behind approximately 20 pounds of ash. By the way, the use of wood ashs is not a new science. Over 5000 years ago, folks made lye by running water through ashes. Lye was combined with animal fat to make soap. It worked pretty well too. So well, that lye water was also used for scrubbing wood floors and laundering clothing. Nearly 50 centuries later, we grew up using homemade lye soap that our Great Grandfather sold in his grocery store. Believe it or not, there are tons of other uses for wood ashes in and around your home. Here are a few: Ashes contain calcium, potassium, and a variety of trace minerals important for plant health. They also work well as a lime substitute to raise the pH of acidic soils. However, unlike limestone, which can take six months or more to change
soil pH, wood ash is water-soluble and changes the soil pH rapidly. Apply roughly twice as much ash by weight as the recommendation for limestone. Oh, and don’t apply ashes around acid-loving plants such as blueberries, rhododendrons, azaleas or hollies – they love the acid soil they live in. Wear eye protection, gloves, and a dust mask, and spread the ashes evenly on a dry, windless day. Mix them into the soil thoroughly. Hose off any ashes that settle on actively growing plants to prevent burning the foliage. Caution: Don’t apply wood ashes to your garden, lawn, or ornamental plantings without first having a soil test You can get traction on icy walks and driveways with a sprinkle of wood ash. Wood ash will melt ice and provide a safer walking surface. Ash doesn’t work quite as well as salt, and ashes tracked into the house can make a mess. So, it’s important to take steps to prevent the ashes from being tracked into the house. But ashes are free, and they won’t damage plants, animal paws, or paved surfaces, or cause rust. If you have a fireplace, you may already know that hardwood ash works great for cleaning glass fireplace doors. Hardwood ashes make fast work of grease, grime and tarnish on glass, silverware, ovenware,
THINK OUT OF THE BIG BOX
grills, and glass stovetops. Ash will also clean gummy residues left by stickers and labels. WD40, eat your heart out. Here’s how to do it. Dampen a soft cloth and dip it in the ashes (or you can make a thick paste with ashes and a few drops of water) scrub lightly and rinse with plain water and dry – again with a soft cloth. Wear gloves for these scrubbing tasks to avoid caustic burns. Remember, you are basically using a homemade lye cleaner. Does your driveway look like an Indy 500 pit stop? You can reduce or remove oil stains on asphalt, stone, and cement by sprinkling ashes on oil or grease spills. Simply cover the area with ashes and then rub them into the affected area with a soft bristle brush and sweep up. Repeat if necessary. Caution: Even though the ashes may appear cold, buried embers may remain live for days or even weeks. So, be very careful when collecting ashes. Be absolutely sure no embers remain. Filter the ashes through a fine grate and store them in a metal container. When using ashes, treat them as you would any other caustic cleaner; safety glasses, gloves and a breathing mask.

BUCKLE UP! One of the most important, immediate actions we can take as a nation to protect children and adults in motor vehicles is high-visibility enforcement of seat belt and child passenger safety laws. The American public knows they should buckle up. Despite this awareness, research shows that many are not taking the necessary steps to protect themselves and their children on every ride. We know that enforcing the law is the most effective way to change this behavior. That is why the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Air Bag & Seat Belt Safety Campaign launch the Click It or Ticket Mobilization, a high visibility enforcement campaign that targets motorists who fail to buckle themselves and their children.
