Each year when the winter chill lifts and the gray skies disappear, the trees and fields come alive with the most beautiful flowers and greenery. I feel very fortunate to live, work, and most importantly -- shop in this area. I can always find what I need when I shop locally, not to mention the savings on gasoline.

Stay and Play Preschool When searching for a preschool and infant center for her children, Lynette Torrez could not find one that offered a center in a home-like setting. So, in 1996, with an education in Early Childhood Development, she opened Stay & Play Preschool. Stay and Play Preschool is an infant and preschool/daycare center in a home environment. They specialize in children ages 5 weeks to 5 years old and are a full-time and parttime preschool center with a year round school program. All teachers are trained and meet all state requirements to work in the childcare center. All staff is CPR/First aid certified, cleared by the Department of Justice and committed to fine quality care. In addition, the center offers Safe Kid Cams (internet viewing to parents), affordable payments, and flexible schedules. A kidfriendly menu, containing a nutritious breakfast, lunch and snack are also provided. The goal of Stay and Play Preschool is to produce happy, intelligent, welladjusted children. Here, you will find a nurturing, educational, fun and safe
environment with infant, toddler and preschool classes. With the belief that every child should be comfortable, in a home-like environment, they have created a unique place for your child to be - a home away from home for your child to call their own. The relaxed preschool program includes: Zoo-phonics, circle time, introduction to colors, shapes, letters and sounds, numbers in English and Spanish, months of the year in English and Spanish, storytelling and much more. The social aspect of the program is equally important and the small groups and individual approach allow teachers to get to know each child’s likes and dislikes and enables them to talk to parents individually about their child. They recognize that each child has unique talents, learning styles and personalities. So, the highly qualified teachers and staff are committed to working within each child’s comfort zone to ensure optimal social, emotional and educational results that will allow them to get the education needed to successfully move on to grammar school. The mission of the staff at Stay & Play is that each child will leave with a solid start and wonderful memories. “We hope our children will become responsible, caring individuals with high self-esteem who can express their
own feelings, as well as respect others. We believe, with a positive beginning, each child will become a successful member of our society,” says Lynette. Testimonials My daughter has been going to Stay and Play Preschool for over two years, and I am so pleased with the education they provide. The staff is great! They have been very supportive of the up bringing in my daughter’s learning. She is happy, and looks forward to going to school. Living in Richmond, I have seen children my daughter’s age that do not even know half the things that my daughter knows; So that is why it is worth me driving two hours (round trip) to have my daughter attend Stay and Play. - Kenny We love Stay and Play Preschool. They are great with our kids, and have an excellent preschool program that has gotten both of our kids ready for Kindergarten. They do a lot of fun activities each month that we, and our kids love! They are really the best! Sandy & Joe
Stay & Play Preschool is located at 771 Griffith Lane in Brentwood. They can be contacted at 925-516-6940 or visit www. stayandplaypreschool.vpweb.com

Stay & Play Preschool The Monthly Grapevine is pleased to introduce this month’s Pick of the Vine, Stay and Play Preschool. Stay and Play’s approach to a fun learning environment for children, with peace of mind for parents, offers a relaxed preschool program, allowing children to learn at their own pace and have fun! In addition, they specialize in small groups, giving children the one on one attention each and every child deserves. The preschool program includes Zoo-phonics, circle time, introduction to colors, shapes, letters and sounds, numbers in English and Spanish, months of the year in English and Spanish, storytelling and much more. At Stay and Play, they believe the early experiences children encounter last a lifetime. Because classes are kept to a low student-teacher ratio, they often fill up quickly, so give them a call today! 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.

FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH
Tobacco and Dental Health Speaking to patients about their tobacco habits is a difficult subject, but it is the most gratifying thing when the patient quits using tobacco. There are certain facts about tobacco use that are alarming. Every year, 450,000 Americans die from tobacco-related illnesses like heart disease, stroke, COPD, and cancer to name a few. These diseases are chronic, usually making one’s remaining life less pleasant. In addition, there is an annual economic loss in the United States of 193 billion dollars due to tobacco use at a time when everyone is concerned about the cost of healthcare, and all of this can be prevented. This brings us to a discussion about tobacco’s impact on oral health. The oral cavity is, literally, the first part of the body to receive the insult of tobacco use, be it cigarettes, smokeless
tobacco, pipes or cigars, increasing the likelihood of dental caries, periodontal disease, leukoplakia, and oral cancer. A study conducted on US army activeduty soldiers showed an increased caries risk due to tobacco use. Some of the increased risk of dental caries can be attributed to an increase in the acidity level of the mouth from smoke due to a decrease in the buffering capacity of saliva. The addition of sugars to chewing tobacco and snuff also has enhanced the likelihood of getting cavities. In regards to gum disease or periodontitis, it has been estimated that 52% of the 8.1 million cases of chronic periodontitis seen in the US is attributable to cigarette smoking. Studies have shown that smokers had more loss of bone around the teeth, which, in turn, causes the gum and the bone to recede and eventually loose teeth. Several studies have also shown the failure rate of implants increases with the use of tobacco. The most horrific and life threatening of all tobacco’s effects is oral and pharyngeal cancer. There are approximately 35,000 newly diagnosed cases of these cancers every year in the US, with one person dying every hour
from this terrible disease. About 75% of these cancers can be attributed to tobacco use. Given that these diseases can be prevented to a significant degree ,the importance of being aware of the ill effects of tobacco use cannot be overstated because these diseases affect the individual and their family and friends as well. Please talk to your dentist and your health care provider to get more information on the effects of tobacco use. It is important to keep up with regular checkup visits with the dentist to prevent these diseases and protect your dental and general health.

REALTOR IN MOTION
How to Find your Next Home In a time where multiple offers show up on all the most desirable homes, you have to be ready to make your move when the home you’re after comes on the market. The interesting part about this current market, or most any “Seller’s Market”, is that Agents will let you know “when” they’re prepared to preview offers as well as provide prospective Buyers a deadline to submit their offer. Obviously, this type of home sales process can only exist in an environment where Listing Agents are anticipating multiple offers and, therefore, dictating the rules as to how long a home will be made available for previewing. Like it or not, that’s what’s happening today, and so if a serious Buyer wants to be one of numerous offers on the table the day the Seller considers all offers, they need to be engaged in the market and married to their Realtor… so to speak.
JOHN J. BARTLETT
How does that happen? You need a Realtor® that has you tuned in to every home that comes on the market as soon as it becomes available. This means being connected to your Realtor’s MLS with Listing Notices that are sent to you as soon as homes fitting your parameters come on the market. In addition, you have to work closely with your Realtor to know how and when to get access to homes for sale. Not all homes are vacant, and not all homes have quick access. You may find that the home you’re in love with can only be seen between certain hours or only during a scheduled Open House. Some listings require 24 hours notice and others require your Realtor to contact the Listing Agent. What it all means is that if you’re truly motivated to make an offer on a home, you and your Realtor® need to be working very close together. Even if you preview a home and love it, homes get removed from the MLS quickly, so your Realtor® plays an important role in the communication process and can save you from many fruitless hours of wasted time. Most Realtors make available to their Clients
LIC # 632552
access to the MLS as well as use of a personal website to search and preview homes every day. With today’s technology, it makes more sense for Buyers to preview what they like and then ask their Agent for specific data on that home. One day in the future, we will again have too many homes and too few Buyers, but the pendulum is on this side for now, and so we have to adjust the way we pursue the goal of home ownership.

How to Patch Holes in Wallboard A do-it-yourselfer can find it necessary to cut a hole in wallboard to facilitate the installation of an interior home improvement. Obviously, such holes are necessary to the task and voluntarily created. On the other hand, a frustrated adult or an overzealous youngster – swinging a door open a bit too hard – may create unwanted and unplanned holes. These holes can’t be easily hidden by installing a mere toilet paper holder. Anyway, who wants a toilet paper holder mounted in their dining room entry? To hide an unwanted hole, folks often resort to strategic placement of paintings, wall hangings or furniture. If that does the trick, then more power to you. However, if your attempt to cover the damage with furnishings proves unsuccessful, you may want to read on for an easy solution. An old time drywall contractor who works for our remodeling company taught us a very simple method of making a wallboard patch:
6. Gently place the patch into the cutout in the wall and stick the four pieces of excess joint tape to the wall surface surrounding the cut-out.
1. First, you’ll need to create a patch from a piece of wallboard. The patch material will have to be slightly larger than the hole to be repaired. Many hardware stores or home improvement centers will sell partial sheets of 1/2” wallboard, which is ideal.
7. Trowel the joint tape to smooth it and then wait for it to dry. This completes step one.
2. Start by cutting a patch (any shape), which is slightly larger than the area to be repaired. The patch does not need to be neatly cut – any shape will do. Place the patch-size piece of sheetrock centered directly over the hole, and using the patch as a stencil, draw a pencil line on the wall around the entire perimeter of the patch.
8. Step two, three and four are to apply additional coats of joint compound over the patched area. An additional two inches of area should be covered with each coat of joint compound to ensure a smooth transition between the existing wall and the patched area. If the wall has a textured finish, yet another step will be required. We have found that the simplest way to match most modern wall textures is with a disposable touch-up gun or with texture in a can. Both devices come with an adjustable nozzle allowing you to match several different finish textures. In order to achieve the desired finish, we suggest that you practice applying texture to a scrap piece of drywall before making the actual application.
3. Next, using a wallboard saw, cut along the line on the wall and remove the damaged wallboard surrounding the hole. Note that the hole in the wall now exactly matches the patch that you made in step two. 4. Then, cut two pieces of wallboard joint tape, each approximately seven or eight inches longer than the length of the patch. Apply a thin layer of joint compound to both sides of both pieces of joint tape.
Morris and James Carey can be contacted at 1-800-737-2474 or visit their website at www.onthehouse.com.
5. Place the joint tape in a criss-cross fashion centered on the back of the patch.

WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?
They specialize in exterior and interior paint of all properties, ranging from single-family homes to town houses, apartments, rentals, business offices and commercial properties.
Painting the Town, One Stroke at a Time! Here it is a gorgeous day in May. The temperature is flirting with a mild 90 degrees and the farmlands are filled with cherries and our famous Brentwood Sweet Corn. This time of year generally brings “Spring Cleaning” to life, so I am off to snoop a company that can help you do just that. Delta Diablo Painting Co. was established in 1992 and have completed over 2500 jobs in local neighborhoods. They are proud to say they have satisfied customers with service that is on budget and on time. Now that counts three big bonus points! They are an experienced residential and commercial company in Northern California’s Bay Area. They serve the Greater Bay Area and extended communities throughout Contra Costa, Alameda and San Joaquin counties.
After talking with them, I am confident you will get a detailed outline of your project and clear understanding before they begin, no matter how big or small the job. Ironically, my Dad was a paint contractor, so this is dear to my heart. And, after hiring several paint contractors over the years, I can appreciate their special attention to detail and the use of quality materials. More importantly, they come with over 20 years experience and a multitude of satisfied customers. With customer service their #1 priority, you can expect an honest bid and quality work. All work is insured with workers compensation and liability insurance with a job site supervisor assigned to each project. All work is backed by manufacturer warranty and there are NO sub-contractors. Now I know I have your attention!

Who’s Who... in East County
We’ve all heard the saying, “use it or lose it” and, according to Kenneth Luke, owner of Classic Boat Works in Brentwood, that saying is very true for boats. When it comes to boats, one of the worst things for them is non-use. Things can dry up and get corroded, leading to leaks or worse. That’s when it’s good to know about Ken and his small, family-owned company. With over 30 years experience, Classic Boat Works handles everything from minor maintenance and repairs to full engine and drive replacements. They are certified OMC and are familiar with most major brands. They service Sterndrive, inboards, and V-drives and deal with everything boat related, from boat parts, electrical and trailers to storage, working with insurance companies, and even kayak sales.
CLASSIC Boat Works
Ken says the most important component of his business is to provide customers with information. He stresses the importance of boat maintenance to ensure customer’s time on the water is safe and worry-free. By keeping overhead low, Classic Boat Works keeps prices reasonable. And by not taking on more work than they can handle, they have better turn around times and are able to deliver a better customer experience. Ken’s mission is to give customers value, whether it’s from his knowledge, pricing or just old fashion great service. Call and speak to Ken - that conversation will give you confidence that you’ve called on the right place to have your boat serviced.
