Body By Santi Personal Training Studio Santi Padilla opened his personal training studio, Body By Santi in 2005 in Brentwood and the business has been slowly, but surely growing for the past six years. When it first opened, the Body By Santi space was less than 500 sq. ft. Now, Santi and his wife, Emily are thrilled the newest expansion is bringing their little fitness studio to nearly 4,000 sq. ft. Santi and his brother opened the first “official” gym in his native Granada, Spain many years ago and since then, Santi has been on a path of helping people learn to live healthier lives. After moving to Brentwood and marrying Emily, a local girl, he decided he couldn’t impact the community the way he envisioned by working as a trainer at a local chain gym, so he took a leap of faith and opened Body By Santi. He has never looked back and is happy living the “American Dream” in Brentwood. Emily says what keeps clients coming back is a two-parter. First, Santi knows his “stuff.” After 20 years in the fitness industry, he is incredibly knowledgeable
and easily shares this knowledge with his clients. The second part is Santi’s passion. He loves making a positive difference in the lives of his clients. “He lives and breathes fitness and is a perfect example of what he expects from his clients. So, when he puts together a nutrition plan of chicken, rice and veggies, you can be sure that’s what he’s eating too. People trust him and that’s what keeps clients coming back,” says Emily. Personal training is Santi’s passion, but he recognizes it’s not a fit for everyone’s budget. So, he found the elite in local fitness trainers and, in addition to the personal training studio, the expansion of Body by Santi will include a group fitness studio. Starting in June, they will be offering kickboxing, yoga, core classes, Mommy and Me, Zumba and more! The diverse class offerings will give clients the structure they need to meet their fitness goals, while supporting them to overcome challenges. Emily tells us, “The entire team is bursting with excitement and can’t wait to get the community on the Body by Santi track to health and fitness!” Nutrition, exercise and education are at the core of the training philosophy of Body by Santi. Trainers and the group fitness instructors promote healthy living by providing a realistic and practical approach to fitness, while offering
personal support to motivate and inspire you to fulfill your goals. Their ability to combine their knowledge and passion for health and fitness enables them to teach clients the principles, skills and habits to make their dreams of a fit lifestyle a reality. Body By Santi believes that to truly thrive, you need to integrate movement, nutrition and accountability into a work-out program. It takes a lot of effort to make new behaviors habits and with the knowledge and support of your trainer, the process becomes infinitely easier as you eliminate years of trial and error. Whether you choose personal training, group fitness or both, everyone at Body by Santi will work hard to motivate, inspire and help you find your way to a healthy lifestyle. In addition, Santi works closely with local teen athletes, from high school football and soccer players to water skiers and sponsors various Relay for Life teams each year. And because he believes that healthy living entails a healthy mind as well as a healthy body, he has collected books for From Books to Brilliance, a non-profit organization that supports literacy efforts. Body By Santi is located at 4525 O’Hara Avenue in Brentwood. They can be contacted at 925-325-2632 or 925-784-2461. Visit their website at www.bodybysanti.com.
June 2011
Body By Santi The Monthly Grapevine is pleased to announce Body By Santi as this month’s Pick of the Vine! When you walk into Body By Santi, you’ll immediately feel the difference between them and other gyms or fitness studios. At Body By Santi, the trainers pride themselves on their ability to combine their knowledge and passion for health and fitness to teach clients the principles, skills and habits to make their dreams of a fit lifestyle a reality. Whether you choose Group Fitness in an environment where people train together and benefit from the motivation, energy and excitement of their peers and instructors, or Personal Training where you will receive the personal one-on-one and small group attention you need to set and actually meet your personal fitness goals, you can be sure you’re working with the best in the business and your training sessions will be effective, safe and best of all, fun! The Monthly Grapevine Pick of the Vine award recognizes local businesses with an exemplary reputation for customer service and/or community commitment. If you would like to nominate a business for this award, please visit our web site at www.monthlygrapevine.com for more information.

TRAVEL TIME
Welcome to summer! Tis the season of the Bentwood Cornfest. And yes, we will be there. Although it will not be in Downtown Brentwood this year, we do have a temporary location at the corner of Sand Creek and Brentwood Blvd. We’ll be there as usual on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, July 8, 9, and 10, so please come by and see us. Many of you have come to see us each and every year and we do look forward to meeting and talking with each and every one of you. And if you are new to the Cornfest, please come see us as we are as usual in INFO ALLEY. It is the big circus type tent and you won’t be able to miss it. It’s open air and in the summer, of course, that is important. We’ll have our usual cruise and land information there and you can talk to us about anything in the world and way of travel. We look forward to seeing y’all.
Last month we introduced you to Celebrity Cruises and gave you a brief overview on what the cruise line is all about. It’s a world apart from other cruise lines.
With a list of exhilarating activities involving such renowned brands, there’s something to please everyone. Taste - If you have a passion for food, wine, and spirits-we have a menu of activities you’re sure to love. Experience just how robust life at sea can be. Some of our sumptuous CelebrityLife culinary activities that await you include:
We’d like you to think of the three L’s that are life. What are they, you askLIVE-LOVE and LAUGH. You can do that and more on any Celebrity cruise. For the next couple of months, we’ll outline in some detail just what each and every ship from Celebrity Cruise Line can offer you to enjoy, experience and excite you. And yes, those are now the three E’s. How to live your CelebrityLife Welcome to CelebrityLifeSM, an exciting and entertaining series of activities that redefine traditional onboard programming. We’ve created partnerships with some of the world’s most well known companies to bring you the ultimate in onboard experiences. There’s the fact that we’re the first authorized Apple® reseller at sea. There’s Riedel® and Smithsonian Journeys. Rosetta Stone® and The Corning Museum of Glass. OK. Maybe we’re name-dropping. But wouldn’t you?
Champagne High Tea - The art of hospitality is elevated to new levels at afternoon high tea, as a string quartet plays softly in the background. This soothing ritual, in one of our specialty restaurants, features white glove service and fine bone china. Offerings include Tea Forté® loose teas, espresso, lattes and cappuccino accompanied by tea afternoon savories, pastries, fresh berries and freshly baked scones served with imported Devon Cream.

FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH
Apnea or some form of snoring occurs in 90 million Americans, according to the National Sleep Foundation. OSA is associated with high risks for coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, stroke, diabetes, impotence, mortality and behaviour problems.
Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea If you snore loudly and often, you may be accustomed to middle of the night elbow thrusts and lots of bad jokes but snoring is not a laughing matter. That loud noise that keeps everyone awake comes from efforts to force air through an airway that is not fully open. This is one of the first indication of a potentially life threatening disorder, “Obstructive Sleep Apnea.” It has been estimated the indirect costs of sleep disorders is over forty one billion dollars. This includes motor vehicle accidents, work related accidents and also home and public accidents, which clearly makes it a national problem. Obstructive Sleep
As we age and gain weight, the ability of the tongue base muscles and the upper airway muscles to expand becomes less and causes the airway to narrow. Snoring is a sign of a narrowing airway. Increase in body mass also increases airway narrowing. The continuation of airway narrowing begins in patients first as snoring and eventually may end up in obstructive sleep apnea. Continuous positive airway pressure is indicated as the first line of treatment but patients who cannot tolerate this have the option of getting appliances made by their dentist for their individual needs. In severe cases, surgical intervention may be needed.
Oral appliances are most commonly used for treatment for snoring and also in mild to moderate cases of sleep apnea. These appliances have been shown to increase the dimensions of the upper airway passage and also activate the neuromuscuar activity of the upper airway muscles. Patients usually do need to get a sleep study called polysomnogram. Patients also have to followup with the dentist for regular checkups. Apollo Dental Care is the dental office of Dr. Sue Padavettan D.D.S. Dr. Sue has fourteen years of experience in dentistry. Graduated from USC with outstanding achievement award for restorative dentistry and was elected member of Honor Dental Society by the Zeta Chapter and is a active member of ADA, CDA and CCDS.

PACIFIC FUNDING GROUP
participate in a 24 hour event with at least one team member on the track at all times – because cancer never sleeps – in what has become the American Cancer Society’s single largest activity. Dating back to 1985 and Dr. Gordon Klatt’s Tacoma Washington grassroots effort, Relay for Life has evolved into this nation’s largest fundraising event of any kind, raising over 400 million dollars in 2008! Brentwood alone helped to raise $307,657 in funds during the 24 hour event and is looking to make it an even larger impact in 2011.
Mirabilis Jalapa Otherwise known as the four o’clock flower, tends to open later in the afternoon (hence the name) while at the same time omitting a sweet-smelling fragrance. And although this flower might not be your favorite, or even anything you have in your garden, since 1994 the flower has played a huge role in the lives of those affected by cancer… being considered a “symbol of hope” for survivors in both the United States and over 100 countries world-wide.
And while the money donated to the 1946 founded American Cancer Society helps with patient support, disease prevention/risk reduction, and detection/treatment, it is truly the experience itself that communities as a whole remember. Often referred to as “24 hours that you’ll never forget,” Relay for Life is much more than the money - both survivors and participants alike are able to draw strength from one another, while all coming together to help fight back against cancer. Celebrate. Remember. Fight back is the motto for
With spring 2011 playing host to both Oakley and Brentwood’s respective Relay for Life events, why not take a few minutes and smell the “purple jasmine”. Already completed between April 30May 1 in Oakley, and taking place June 11-12 in Brentwood, teams of 8-15 people “paint the town purple” and
the individuals and families involved during this emotional 24 hour fund raiser. I am honored to say this year I will be partaking in the event through the efforts of Brentwood Rotary, and as such welcome any questions regarding Relay for Life or the American Cancer Society in my inbox at tfreymortgages@yahoo.com. While I always try to keep the community updated on the latest real estate happenings, sometimes we all have to put ourselves to the side, smell the Mirabilis Jalapa, and realize there are larger things out there. Cancer does not know we are in a recession and does not care that these are tough economic times.

WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?
A Place in the Shade The calendar says Summer is right around the corner, yet 2011 seems to be bringing us unpredictable weather patterns. Still, those of us who live in the East County know that the inevitable hot Summer days are right around the corner so it’s time to get things ready for the heat. What a great time to look in on a local business that can help us do just that. Mark Sargent, owner of Bright Ideas Design Center, has been in business since 1995. The design center is located at 5085 Lone Tree Way in Antioch. I peeked in to take a look around and was greeted by their friendly staff. This was really a nice touch to be able to talk to someone who knew so much about the business without a huge sales pitch. Mark prides himself in offering the best customer service possible and it clearly shows when the staff delivers that same message. I learned that his specialty is Alumawood Patio Covers and Patio Enclosures. First
and foremost, the material he uses to build these beautiful additions to your home is made out of aluminum. That means it won’t burn, get termites, crack, peel, warp or rot. You don’t have to cut down any trees, and each component of your patio cover is engineered to assemble with flawless fit and finish. You can’t believe it when you see it; it really looks like wood. After wandering around their store, I went home and got on the web to see some of the actual work they have done. I highly recommend you check out their web site at www.brightideadesigncenter.com and take the same tour I took. You can design any kind of covering or enclosure you want. They have A-frame, lattice, and free-standing, full enclosures and covers built side by side. I can’t believe what a difference it makes to your home. Many of those beautiful backyards that you see while playing golf on the three courses of Brentwood are the work of Bright Ideas. Their ad says “Let It Rain…Let it Shine… We’ve got you covered. Since the backyard parties are just around the corner, I can’t think of a better way to bring a little bit of shade to your back yard. It is just beautiful when it is done, and with our temperatures reaching the
100 mark in the summer, this is certainly a great way to enjoy the outdoors and spend time with family and friends. I asked a few questions about this remarkable Alumawood product, like does it dent, how long does it take, what kind of warrantee do they offer and do I need to get a permit? It doesn’t usually dent, but will be replaced if it happens. They receive weekly shipments and can usually install in one to three days. The ten year limited warrantee covers the paint from peeling, cracking or warping. And finally, you do need to get a permit, but they take care of all the paperwork for you. Now my only question to you is what are you waiting for? This is the perfect time to look for the Bright Ideas Design Center ad right here in the Monthly Grapevine and give them a call. So Mark, thanks for taking such good care of our East County residents and giving them the service they deserve. The secret shopper gives you five rays of sunshine for giving East County a great place to find their place in the shade. Who will be snooped next? It could be you!

PRUDENTIAL REALTY
Moving With Children Moving is an exciting time full of commotion that can be tough on everyone, including the children. The impact the move will have on kids usually is age-related. Babies and toddlers tend to deal well. Young children will have some difficulty with moving, while adolescents may resist and often resent the move. Children of all ages are very intuitive and will usually know what is going on around them or have a pretty good idea. It is important to discuss it with them so they have the facts instead of letting their imagination fill in the blanks. Here are a few timeless tips that may help all families on the move: • Clearly explain why you’re moving. Children like to be in the loop and talking to them about the move, what it means and what it will entail can help limit move-related anxiety.

Moving Babies & Toddlers - Babies and toddlers typically are easy to move, but they also can become confused or scared. Consider the following tips for them:
Moving Adolescents - Adolescents are deeply involved in their social network. Child development experts suggest these kids receive news of the move as soon as possible. They will need more time to get used to idea and to say good-bye to their friends. Some other tips to consider:
• Pack their rooms last and as close to moving day as possible. Keep favorite toys and other must-haves close at hand. • Try to stick to the established routines like lunchtime and naptime. • Once in the new house, young children may need to be reminded about which household appliances are dangerous and other safety precautions or rules they learned at the previous house.
• Spend time together getting to know the new school and surrounding area by driving around. • If your child is a senior in high school, some child-development experts suggest letting the child stay behind to finish the school year. These experts emphasize that this decision only makes sense if your child’s living conditions will be appropriate and safe.
Moving Preschoolers & School-Age Children - Kids this age can get excited about moving and may be eager to help. If you’re moving with school-age children, consider the following tips: • Let the children help pack their own rooms and once you’re in the new house, let them help decorate and arrange their new rooms.
• Familiarize the children with the new location by providing them with exciting information about the area.
• Drive them by their new school or daycare. Also showing them the neighborhood park can give them something to focus on.

that it can be wedged against a small sheet of plywood to really clamp down on the paneling during regluing.
How to Convert OldFashioned Wall Paneling
Once the material on the wall is smooth again and firmly attached, it’s time to prepare the surface. Washing the entire surface with a solution of trisodium phosphate (TSP) with a cloth or sponge comes first. For best results, do a section at a time, rinsing between applications with a damp sponge. TSP is caustic and should be used with caution. Be sure to wear safety goggles, rubber gloves, and other protective clothing. Oh, and don’t forget to insure that there is plenty of fresh air circulation in your work space.
Dark wall paneling with grooves, so popular in the ‘60s and ‘70s, is being phased out by many homeowners because it robs rooms of precious natural light. While the thought of trading dark, dingy and dated paneling for a lighter, more attractive wall finish may appeal to you, the prospect of removing the paneling may be discouraging. Fact is, you don’t have to remove it. You simply can brighten up paneled walls with a fresh coat of paint or wallpaper.
After the paneling is dry, prime it with either an oil base or shellac-based sealer. These heavily pigmented primers will act as an excellent base for either paint or wallpaper. If you intend to hang wallpaper or simply don’t want grooves in your painted finish, there are a couple of alternatives for a groovy groove removal.
Start by making sure the paneling is properly anchored to the plaster of wallboard below. Re-attach paneling which may be bowed or buckled with paneling adhesive and some ribbed paneling nails. The nails should be driven into studs for added strength. An electronic stud-finder will come in handy. Use a brace (a long piece of wood) that will span completely across the room so
The simplest way is by filling grooves in with a vinyl spackling compound using a small putty knife. More than one application may be required since the spackle is likely to shrink. Once the spackle has dried, lightly sand the entire surface of the paneling with 150-grit
sandpaper. Seal the areas where the spackle was applied with a coat of primer. If you plan to paint the wall, apply a light wall texture beforehand. The texture, which can be applied with a trowel or portable spray gun, will give the wall a uniform finish by hiding blemishes and other imperfections. Finish the job with one coat of a top quality interior acrylic latex wall paint. If you plan to paper, an alternative to filling the grooves with spackle is to install a base sheet of lining paper. The lining paper is slightly thicker than wallpaper and disguises bumps and irregularities. Wallpaper can then be installed over the lining paper. Decorating possibilities are many. For example, you might consider doing a combination of paint and wallpaper separated by a chair rail. Or using coordinated wallpaper on either side of a chair rail. Once you’ve made this improvement, your home will be brighter and cheerier. You may find that you don’t need that larger window or skylight you’d considered, after all.
