As we begin our 20th year in East Contra Costa County, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our readers and advertisers. If you don’t already know, my mom and dad started the Grapevine out of their home office in 1996, they direct mailed to homes and businesses then and we are one of the only publications in the area that still does. With rising costs of paper, gasoline and postage, our dedication is to keep our pricing competitive, yet still delivering to readers mailboxes each and every month, which has not changed in 20 years!

Being in a family owned and operated business I feel is a valuable asset these days as well, I came into the business almost 16 years ago ready to use my degree, and determined to keep the business in the family! I’ve had a lot of help over the years, my mom taught me everything I know about ad design and layout, she’s the most creative person I know! Our family friend and bookkeeper at the time taught me about QuickBooks, reporting and how to keep the finances in order and my dad, well he taught me how to be an Information Technician, which is not what I signed up for but computers crash, need updates and some days just don’t want to work properly. I don’t know what the future holds, but my daughter, who is starting high school in the fall, wants to go into Computer Animation.

Can you say, “summer intern”?

WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?

and Google www.joyfulvibrations.com and plan to be impressed.

With the Delta breeze in the air over the farmlands and the sun shining bright, it is clearly evident that the growing season is well under way.

Tractors can be seen either in the fields or making their way down the back roads. The slight rain last night gave hope to the doom and gloom of the current drought, but local lawns have already started to brown. With the weather creating havoc in our lives, it is only fitting that I look in on a local business woman whose intentions are to inspire and ignite people to embrace life with joy, courage and compassion.

Let me introduce you to Lorey Amaro, owner of Joyful Vibrations Wellness Spa in Discovery Bay. I must admit, I was totally amazed when I walked in the front door. This 3500 sq. ft. Tuscany Day Spa is truly a one of a kind destination for total wellness for the body, mind and spirit.

Now I imagine you are thinking that this is just another “spa” wanting to lure you in for the latest “fad” in treatments and services. Well, put down this Grapevine

Lorey’s mission is to bring people together in a loving environment where they will feel safe to grow and become the best person they can be. The center consists of massage, skin care, waxing, body treatments, hair salon, nail care for the hands and feet, permanent makeup, airspray tanning, teeth whitening, holistic & alternative health services such as Reiki, hypnotherapy, EFT, essential oils, nutritional counseling, intuitive readings, Yoga, spiritual and health classes, books, tools & gifts for the conscious mind. And, that is just the beginning!

The part I liked best about Joyful Vibrations is how clean everything is!

And, I felt like I just left the planet and walked into a safe haven of beauty and happiness. I know there are a few of you who love to patronize the spa on a regular basis and others that go once they receive a gift certificate from a friend or relative, but trust me when I tell you, this place is amazing. AND IT IS IN OUR OWN BACKYARD!!

Some of the services offered for the skin and body include facials, resurfacing treatments, contour body wraps, Cavi-

Bet you could enjoy at least one of these treatments. And, your massage choices include Swedish, Lymphatic Drainage, Deep Tissue, Hot Stone, Reflexology, Aromatherapy, Crainiosacral Therapy, Shiatsu, Prenatal and Rolfing. As a massage junky, I had no idea there were so many options of massage therapy, but personally can’t wait to make an appointment here rather than wait to go on vacation.

You have all probably seen the “Live Where You Play” license plate holders about Discovery Bay, but I think they should put the additional line on the bottom stating “Be Well Where You Live”.

This snoop gives Lorey and the entire team of professionals at Joyful Vibrations “ten times two” of our very own grape clusters for following your heart and serving with love. Who will be snooped next? It could be you!

TRAVEL TIME Central America has a lot to offer us and one country that we would hope you would visit is Costa Rica.

Costa Rica is a land teeming with the paradoxes of its geographical location, bridging North and South America and the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The resulting climate makes it ideal for year-round travel. The forces of nature are at their spectacular best here, churning out rainforest and volcanoes, great beaches and vistas. The animals and plants of the region are of two great continents. The diversity of flora and fauna, of geography and terrain all come together here in a mere 50,895 square kilometers.

The equatorial position of the country means that throughout the year there is a fairly constant twelve hours of light between sunrise and sunset from 6:00 am each day to 6:00 pm. The country’s location also maintains a fairly constant temperature, never varying more than a few degrees on a seasonal basis. In Costa Rica, the seasons revolve around a dry

travelers include mountain biking, river rafting and scuba diving. Hikes through the rainforests include trips to active volcanoes, boat trips on rivers snaking through the rain forests and opportunities to ride a zip line through the forest canopy. You can watch live lava flows on Arenal Volcano, stand on mountaintops where both the Atlantic and the Pacific are visible, watch the marine turtles at Tortuguero or any one of a hundred other terrific outdoor opportunities.

season, December through April and a wet season May through November.

There are real benefits to traveling to Costa Rica during the green season.

Perhaps the best reason is the abundance of wildlife. The greener foliage and plant life offer a wider range of feeding grounds for the animals. Likewise, because the green season in general means fewer tourists, the animals are more relaxed in their habitat. If one of your reasons for visiting Costa Rica includes paddling sports and time on its rivers, the green season means banks that are consistently filled with fast moving water.

The mountains tend to be more clearly visible as the rains carry the fog and haze away making volcano viewing particularly enjoyable.

Many beach resorts are all inclusive so once you are there nothing to worry or think about.

Contact Bill or Fred today to book your next holiday away from home in Costa Rica.

Costa Rica’s biodiversity is astonishing.

Monkeys, sloths, tapirs and wildcats as well as an unrivaled collection of bird species numbering more than 800 make their home in the rainforest.

The Costa Rican rainforests are vast, but accessible. The best advice in any weather is to plan ahead, take your time and enjoy the scenery.

FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH

using early orthodontic treatment can easily offer the greatest lifetime health benefits to the children and to the overall health and wellbeing of this nation’s next generation of adults.

reverse this negative health trend.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Obstructive sleep Apnea (difficulty in breathing during sleep), issues are reported to affect as many as 18 million Americans according to the National Sleep Foundation. OSA carries significant extended health risks like sleep deprivation, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and reduced life expectancy by twenty per cent. The potential health risks of sleep apnea extend beyond the individual and actually puts countless others at risk. The extended risk to society has prompted the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to mandate sleep apnea testing for commercial truck drivers and federal aviation Administration to adopt new sleep apnea guidelines for commercial pilots. The Harvard School of medicine estimates the economic impact of moderate to severe sleep apnea in the US could be as high as $165 billion.

The dental profession is qualified to offer hope to these individuals and help

The root cause of OSA is improper jaw growth and facial development during childhood. A lack of proper development of the skull and the jaw bones will contribute to improper airway function and improper overall individual development. Children with small jaws have crowded teeth and small space to accommodate the tongue and this causes smaller airway passage. Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea in non-obese children is a disorder of the jaw and facial growth. This condition has to be diagnosed as early as 4 years of age and treatment should be started by the dentist as soon as possible. Effective treatment includes early orthodontics which by redirecting jaw growth gives positive results. Failure to treat such conditions early can cause behavior disorders like ADD, ADHD, juvenile diabetes and childhood obesity. Improving airway development and proper sleep in children helps with an ideal height and growth curve that can be maintained through childhood into adulthood. Furthermore a proper airway and proper sleep habits will improve cognitive development and academic performance, two factors that could change a child’s destiny. Preventing obstructive sleep apnea in children

Need More Space for Your “Stuff?”

Think Outdoor Storage Storage – it is something that no one ever seems to have enough of. Extra clothing, books, toys, recreational equipment, luggage, holiday decorations, tools and garden equipment are a just few of the almost endless list of items that overwhelm the limited storage space of most American homes. The result is chaos! Cars are parked in a driveway or at curbside instead of in the garage – the intended use for this space. Closets are often so cluttered that one would have to be a super sleuth to find what he is looking for. Attics are filled and basements are cramped. Is there any end to this madness?

While we would agree that storage in most American homes is at a premium, this condition may be more than just a storage problem. It’s time for a reality check. Here’s a tough question that only you can answer – “am I a pack rat?” If so, consider the line that actress and entertainer Cher used opposite Nicholas Cage in the movie Moonstruck – “snap out of it!” Clutter reduces comfort, increases frustration and can be a tremendous safety hazard. Cramped spaces can cause spaces to overheat which could result in, among other things, a house fire. An overloaded attic space can come crashing down and worse, blocked doors or paths can prevent easy escape should disaster strike.

Before you decide to add on to your home of convert a bedroom into a closet, consider an alternative or two. The first and most important step in improving storage is to get rid of items that are no longer being used. Except for a crib or like items that could be of value sometime down the road, if an item has

SALVADOR LANDSCAPING Affordable Prices Your Wallet Will Love

not been used in the last year or so, it probably never will be. Thus, it is taking up valuable space. Consider a garage sale or, better yet, donate the items to a person or family in need. You’ll feel good by helping someone and you may even be able to take a tax deduction for a charitable contribution.

The next step to manage the storage space that you do have as efficiently as possible. This may require removing existing shelving and installing new storage systems – an assortment of adjustable shelving, wardrobe poles and other storage accessories.

If you have done all of the above and are still “storage-challenged,” additional storage space may be the answer. One alternative is off-site storage. A public storage facility located in your area may be the answer if you have gobs of stuff that you simply can’t part with such as large pieces of furniture. These facilities have freed many a closet, attic or basement and have allowed vehicles to become reacquainted with garages that were designed to house them.

For some, however, off-site storage is not the answer. It can be remote and inconvenient to access and security and the weather resistance of the space are other concerns. If off-site storage is a must, look for one what best suits your needs in terms of location, space needed, security, accessibility and, last but not least, budget.

Another, often more affordable and convenient alternative is an on-site outdoor storage facility – a storage shed, if you will. This type of structure became especially popular in the late ‘60’s and has continued to grow in popularity as a quick and easy solution to many storage problems. For years the vast majority of these structures have been constructed of metal. Unfortunately, the thickness or “gauge” of material used is often so thin that the structure appears flimsy.

Additionally, thin panels can be easily dented and over time rust can take over, reducing the shed to a mere pile of rubble. Consequently, you lose a storage

facility and gain an eyesore. Yikes!

No need to fret, technology to the rescue! Just as other aspects of construction materials have improved – building materials, siding, roofing, fencing and decking – so, too, have the materials used to build storage sheds. Today’s top-of-the-line outdoor storage sheds are constructed of virtually indestructible and weather resistant resin. Aside from enhanced lasting quality, these sheds are easy to assemble – the average shed can be fully assembled in about two hours.

And you don’t need a toolbox filled with tools to do it either. Some models produced by leading manufacturers interlock and require only a rubber mallet and a Phillips screwdriver. Yes! Plastic construction also offers a couple of other benefits – it has greater impact resistance and won’t rust or rot like its metal or wood-fabricated counterparts.

Some models come equipped with a floor system that makes the shed completely weather-resistant to provide dry storage.

Because it is typically neither affordable nor practical to construct an outdoor storage shed is that matches the exterior of a home, the shed you choose should be camouflaged with plant material – regardless of how attractive one may think it to be.

Besides construction material used and the method of assembly employed, there are a few other important steps that should be taken that we provide the best and longest lasting installation. First, select a level site with good drainage.

This will help keep contents dry by allowing for a better seal at the roof and around doors.

If the shed you purchase does not come equipped with a floor, your best bet is to pour a concrete slab. If concrete is a little too “concrete” (permanent) for you, sheet plastic with pea gravel or plywood on pressure treated sleepers are alternatives.

ASSEMBLYMEMBER JIM FRAIZER

Delta Aquatic Weed Abatement Continues Waterways in Contra Costa County were among the first to be treated for aquatic weeds this year.

The California Division of Boating and Waterways started herbicide spraying on March 4, focusing on Rock Slough, Indian Slough, Coney Island and the San Joaquin River to treat Water Hyacinth and Spongeplant. Discovery Bay has been treated over the last few weeks.

For over a year now, I have held meetings, co-authored legislation, supported augmenting the budget, and worked closely with Boating and Waterways to ensure that my constituents receive the services necessary to maintain their quality of life on the Delta. Extreme drought, record-high temperatures and low water flows have caused warmer areas of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta to become choked with aquatic weeds.

The Division of Boating and Waterways has permission to treat 3,500 acres of Water Hyacinth in the Delta up until November 30. In addition to the Contra Costa sites, it will be treating San Joaquin County areas, including Middle River, Whiskey Slough, Old River and the Tuolumne River. On June 1, the state will expand the herbicide treatment to other Delta areas. In addition, mechanical harvesting of Water Hyacinth in the Old River area of the South Delta and around Stockton will occur on an as-needed-basis.

I want to thank everyone who contacted my office about the aquatic weed issue. Our voices played a critical role in securing these resources. It is very important that we continue to provide feedback to the Division of Boating and Waterways so that its staff can better assess infested areas for further treatment.

Sightings of aquatic weeds and infestations can be reported by calling 1-888-326-2822 or emailing ais@parks. ca.gov.

The Monthly Grapevine has been the backbone of my advertising needs. I have tried different variations of print advertising and using the exact same ad that I am currently running (and have with very little modifications for years), the results were amazing, Grapevine produces very good results, almost 8% more than any other publication I have tried. I track the return, not only customer count but also in dollars and cents, I have had no other advertising in ANY other form that produces gross dollars like the Grapevine.

Now with their help, I have expanded to multiple Internet specific type advertising. Lets face it, not every business, nor every person uses or sees just one type of advertising. The results were interesting, 2 to 3 % comes from these type of advertising (almost 8% less), just barely gave me an acceptable return. I can always count on the Grapevine, if I was forced into only using one advertising source, hands down I have tried and proven results from the Grapevine, and the people are fabulous to work with, always professional and friendly and eager to help in any way they can.

Thank you Monthly Grapevine!

RESCUE MOMENT

neutered, or micro-chipped in which case they offer referrals to low cost vaccination clinics in the area. Although they do not provide spay/neuter programs at this time, they do provide information and education on such in the area via they’re website. They try to give enough food to last the animal in the household one month however this could vary since all food is donated. The food program does not require any income guidelines, if you are in need; they take your word for it.

All animal owners have one common goal and that’s the general well-being and peace of mind that their pet is healthy, loved, and well taken care of and able to live a long and happy life.

Another benefit of Furry Friends Food Relief is that they’re big on educating pet owners. By simply visiting their user friendly website and clicking on “training” you will find a number of great resources with detailed explanations on everything from crate training, socializing, house training, and a great section on how to introduce your dogs to other dogs. This helpful information is provided by Meryl Cohen who holds a B.S. in Animal Science from Cal State University San Luis Obispo, and is a full member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers as well as an AKC Canine Good Citizen Certified Evaluator.

Furry Friends Food Relief Program is a non-profit organization based out of Oakley that helps families in need with their pets, which in turn keeps their pets from having to go to a shelter.

Owner, Erin Pena’s inspiration to start this business was to assist in the over population of animals in shelters by helping and educating pet owners so they don’t have to surrender the pets to a shelter due to unforeseen circumstances.

Furry Friends Food Relief Program assists struggling families and the homeless in Contra Costa County with dog and cat food but also often times they find they are in need of beds, leashes, collars and clothing. They also may be behind on vaccinations or need to be spayed,

Donations of food, leashes, litter boxes, are always in demand. Please visit their website, furryfriendsfoodre.wix.com for donation information and vaccine

calendar. They have several valuable projects to be a part of and are always in need of great volunteers to help out on distribution dates. If you have great people skills, are well organized and love helping others, please fill out the volunteer application from their website.

Getting more corporate sponsorship is a goal as well as public awareness so they can help more people in Contra Costa County. Please remember to like them on Facebook too! facebook.com/ Furryfriendsfoodrelief.
