The CEO Shop Where You Live! Local business owners provide a wide range of products and services at affordable prices and cater to the needs and wants of the community. Local shops and farmer’s markets often stock more locally sourced goods, saving long distance freight charges and reducing the environmental impact.
PRODUCT OF BLUEWATER PUBLISHING LLC
Local businesses and services value their clients because they rely on reputation and repeat business to survive. They also respond quickly to the needs of their customers. You can save energy, time and money by spending your dollars locally. Private and public sector services cluster around local shops. As shops disappear, so do banks, restaurants & beauty salons. Without your support in our local community, restaurants and services may be forced to close as well. By supporting locally-owned, independent businesses, communities keep their dollars working for them as they enrich the local economy, increase the diversity of available products, provide better service and improve the quality of life for all of us.

Flowers by Gerry “The earth laughs in flowers” – Ralph Waldo Emerson You don’t have to wait for a special occasion to give flowers. And because of their infinite diversity and unique appeal, flowers never fail to be special to their recipient. Flowers make people happy on both sides of the arrangement! In fact, research from Rutgers University shows that a gift of flowers creates instant delight and enhances life satisfaction and enjoyment. Another study from Harvard shows that people feel more compassionate toward others, have less worry and anxiety, and feel less depressed when flowers are present in the home. Flowers can also help you put your feelings into words. Look no further than Flowers by Gerry to deliver your special message with flowers. Flowers by Gerry is a unique flower shop located in Brentwood. Their custom fresh flower designs speak for themselves and are made to client’s requests and preferences. Their designers will work with you to create just the perfect floral gift for you or
for that special someone and help you to make the best decision for a very affordable price. Choose tropical flowers with exotic orbs in a specialty vase, Dutch tulips simply arranged with willow or ribbon, or romantic roses & hydrangea in a beautiful keepsake teapot or pitcher. A bouquet of flowers conveys joy, romance, love, appreciation or sympathy in a way that no other gift can. Flowers given for no reason other than, “I was thinking of you today” can mean much more to the recipient, because they are unexpected. So, whether you want to share a bunch of happy, say, “I’m sorry,” “thank you,” or “I care,” Flowers by Gerry can help you do it. And beyond the message, giving flowers says something about you, too. Research shows people who give flowers are perceived as thoughtful and sophisticated. Who doesn’t want that? Flowers By Gerry has all the best flowers to make someone smile and laugh or cheer someone up. Gerry and her staff are committed to excellent customer service, offering very unique floral designs of distinction and quality. They specialize in contemporary and traditional arrangements, tropicals, plants, European/dish gardens, silk arrangements, weddings, funeral designs, gourmet baskets and much
more. Always happy to accommodate client’s needs, they work hard to make your flower-sending experience a pleasure. Testimonials Gerry is amazing! I came to her six months ago, having no idea what kind of flowers I wanted for my wedding. With just a few simple questions about me and my likes/dislikes, she was able to find the perfect flowers for me. The flowers were fresh and vibrant, and more beautiful than I could have imagined. I will return to Gerry for all of my floral needs, and recommend her to all of my friends. –Jessica U., Livermore I’ll start this by saying If I could give more than 5 stars I would. There is no better florist in town. It’s refreshing when you purchase a product from someone who is nothing short of passionate about their work. Gerry’s passion for flowers, her phenomenal customer service and the unmatched quality of flowers is what brings me back to her quaint little shop. So long as I live in the bay area Flowers by Gerry will be my florist for any occasion. –David H., Brentwood Flowers by Gerry is located at 4601
Orwood Road in Brentwood. They can be contacted at 925-634-1593 or visit their website at www.flowersbygerry.com

WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?
Best Sandwich in Town It is about 85 degrees outside on this August Thursday night and historic downtown Brentwood is lined with beautiful cars and motorcycles for the annual Hot Brentwood Nights Car Show event. On assignment to one of Brentwood’s best sandwich shops, I opted to pop in during this great event to see the show at the same time. Not a stranger to the business community of Brentwood, the Emporium is third generation owned and operated by the Lindsay family. This one of a kind original used to be called Brentwood Liquors and was located on Oak Street until they moved into the old Centromart on the corner of First and Chestnut. The remodel took some time, but Larry Jr. brought new life to this old building and the customers were more than pleased with the new place. Knowing the streets would be crowded for the weekly Downtown Thursdays, I headed for my destination on foot to find the hot bar-b-que on the sidewalk grilling up fresh tri-tip sandwiches for the $7 street dining menu at the car show. I heard rumors about
this great sandwich and wanted to try it first hand, especially on assignment, so I could share my good fortune with our readers. It was a snap to find, I just parked in the lot on the corner of Brentwood Blvd. and Chestnut (home of the old police station) and walked a half a block. While they were cooking the tri-tip, I walked inside to take a look around. The place was busting at the seams with customers lined up at the deli counter. The deli case is huge with every kind of meat, cheese and special side dish you could imagine, most of which are Pat’s own recipe, including fresh pasta. Now that counts two points in my book. And the portions are huge! Now the best part, a sandwich is only $3. I couldn’t believe it, but that was the price. And the bread was as fresh as if they just baked it. Now that is another ten big points. The Emporium is not just a deli, it is a full liquor store, including kegs of beer and specialty wines. They have grocery items and a candy isle that any youngster would love to visit. The decor includes stuffed animals from all over the world that have been named over the years. One customer brought his kids in just to see the big bear. Honestly, this place is amazing! Now, just when I thought I had seen it all, I spotted the soft serve ice cream counter. Well, that is one of my biggest weaknesses
and this one includes vanilla, chocolate and my old time favorite, the swirl. And, you can even make it a banana split. How cool is that! This new addition to the Emporium has the locals coming in after dinner for a delightful dessert. So back outside for my tri-tip sandwich I go, and the line of student runners for the outside dining is three deep. Mine, delivered by one of the nice young men, was hot and ready to enjoy. It tasted as good as it smelled and the potato salad that came with it was amazing. And I even got a soda and a side of beans for only $7. I hit the jackpot and I could eat my dinner while listening to live music from Citations, a local rock and roll band. Folks, it doesn’t get any better than that. Well, Lindsay family, I am glad that this snoop finally got the assignment to sneak in for a peek at your incredible store. Open seven days a week with fresh cooked food made from the heart, this is truly one of Brentwood’s gems. The Monthly Grapevine gives you ten gold stars for bringing good old fashioned customer service and mouth watering affordable food to the heart of downtown. Who will be snooped next? It could be you!

TRAVEL TIME
An All Mexico Cruise Something that has never been done before from San Francisco is an all Mexico cruise. Most of them did go to an American port, but in September of 2013 the GRAND PRINCESS© sail, for Cabo San Lucas, La Paz, Loreto and Puerto Vallarta. Do you see anywhere in America she will visit and the cruise is roundtrip from San Francisco? Bill will take a group of you to Mexico on this once in a lifetime cruise from San Francisco. Per person rates include balcony rooms at $1749, ocean view for $1499 and interior rooms a very reasonable $1199. Remember, this is a 10 day cruise with 5 luscious, relaxing and tantalizing days at sea. Information on the ports include: Cabo San Lucas, Mexico Lying at the very tip of Baja, where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez, Cabo
San Lucas - or “Cabo” - is one of the premier resort destinations in the Western Hemisphere. Swim in the transparent waters, marvel at the wealth of marine life, relax on one of the white-sand beaches or try your hand at some of the finest sportfishing in the world. Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Once Puerto Vallarta was a sleepy village. Then, director John Huston chose the village as the location for his film “Night of the Iguana,” starring Richard Burton. Puerto Vallarta was sleepy no more; its transformation into an international resort had begun. Today, the city has its own “Gringo Gulch,” a haunt of the rich and famous. Travelers are also drawn by its climate, its excellent shopping - which offers great values on leather goods, jewelry, and handicrafts - and mile after mile of palm-lined beaches. Loreto is the heart of a natural paradise known as the Sea of Cortés.
protected as a National Maritime Park since June 7, 2000. It provides refuge for mother-of-pearl, starfish, sea urchins, fan coral, killer whales, blue whales, dolphins and sea lions. The coastline in and around Loreto is one of the richest and most varied in Baja. You will find the towering Sierra La Giganta Mountains, reefs, caverns, bays, oasis, a multitude of islands, coves - all influencing and being influenced by the climate of Loreto. Situated near the most southern tip of the Mexican peninsula of Baja California, La Paz is a seaside paradise. Warm Pacific breezes, sunsets over rippled waters, and a rich fabric of local culture combine to create an ideal vacation spot. Reserve your space today for this once in a lifetime opportunity from Princess Cruises where you will ESCAPE COMPLETELY©.
The city is approximately 400 km from the far south of the peninsula with a warm climate that fluctuates around 28ºC. Loreto Bay, which includes Coronado, Del Carmen, Danzante, Montserrate and Santa Catalina islands has been

HEALTH
FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH
Decorative Piercing Decorative piercing of facial skin and inside the mouth has become increasingly popular in the past decade. Jewelry made of gold, silver, glass, stainless steel and acrylic are the materials most widely used and the most popular locations are the tongue, lips and cheeks. Extreme care should be taken while choosing a piercing salon, making sure proper infection control protocols are being used and the piercing technician is medically trained or licensed. Most complications occur immediately after piercing. Most frequently, redness, swelling, and throbbing pain, spreading to the surrounding tissues is noticed. The swelling can be so severe that it can interfere with breathing. The other most common complication is infection. Infection may be caused by improper cleaning, poor nutrition, and/
or unwashed hands. Some contributory factors include allergies to metals, misplaced piercing locations and inappropriate designs or sizes of the new jewelry. Oral infections, if not treated appropriately can lead to severe life threatening complications involving the heart. Other symptoms and/or complications could be pain, prolonged bleeding, nerve damage, swelling, compromised airways and transmission of blood borne viruses such as HIV, hepatitis, herpes simplex and EB virus. Sometimes, loss of the ornament within the oral tissue has been reported as well. Some of the long term complications include interference with speech, taste, swallowing and chewing ability, dislodgement and aspirations of the ornament, and soft and hard tissue damage. Teeth chipping and receding gums, root decay or caries and teeth sensitivity, cyst formation, due to cross contamination from sharing jewelry has also been reported. Sometimes, the gum tissue surrounding the oral piercing can grow over the jewelry and gets embedded in the tissue overgrowth, which has to be surgically removed. There is always a possibility
of the jewelry coming loose, which can causes a choking hazard if it falls into the windpipe. If it is swallowed, it can also damage the digestive system. Tongue splitting and oral piercings are liked by some with the personal image created by them, but this look comes at a price. Therefore, it is very important to be aware of the short term and long term effects associated with intraoral piercing before opting for such procedures. It is also very important to keep up with the regular cleaning and check-up visits to the dentist to detect any gum recession or bone loss associated with the intraoral piercing. 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.

ON THE HOUSE
Trimming Doors - A Free-Swinging Solution New carpeting can do wonders to improve the appearance of your home, but if it’s thicker than the previous floor covering, it can cause doors to drag, making them difficult to open and close. The solution to smooth-swinging doors is trimming the bottom. Cutting a door, solid or hollow-core, can be relatively easy if you have the right tools and take a few minor precautions. While many folks choose a handsaw, a circular saw also can make a uniform cut and will require quite a bit less elbow grease – especially when several doors are involved. When you trim a door with a circular saw you must use caution to preserve and protect the door’s appearance and to prevent the saw from splintering and tearing the wood fibers at the cut line. This is especially challenging with hollow core doors. Start by marking the height of the cut - a point where you are sure the door will
swing freely without touching the carpet. Next, remove the door from its hinges. Use a small hammer and a nail or nail punch to tap the hinge pin up and out. Once all of the hinge pins have been removed, place the door onto a pair of saw horses. It’s a good idea to use towels or old scraps of carpeting or pad isolate the door from the saw horses. This will prevent damage to the door finish. Use a straightedge and a pencil to mark the cut line. Too avoid damaging the door during cutting use a sharp utility knife to deeply score the cut line. By the way, as it did when making the pencil mark the straightedge will be helpful when scoring. Several light passes with the utility knife should be made. The deeper the scored line, the better. With the cut line scored, make a cut ever so slightly below the score line. Scoring prevents surface tearing and chipping that can result when any kind of sawing is taking place. If you have elected to use a circular power saw, be sure to use a “finish” blade that has many teeth per inch. The more teeth – the finer the cut. A good finish blade is far less apt to tear the surface. A carbide tipped blade also is a must – regardless of the number of teeth per inch. The carbide tip will not be affected if a staple or a nail is encountered during cutting.
Use caution when choosing a power over a hand saw. If the saw table is dirty or a bit rusty or rough it can mar the door’s stained or painted finish. To avoid this, apply strips of duct tape to the face of the saw table. This will not only preserve the door’s finish, but will make the saw glide more easily as well. A DO-IT-YOURSELFER’S TIP: If you are reluctant to use a circular saw for fear of making a crooked cut – fear not. Simply clamp a straightedge to the door as a guide. Use light pressure giving the saw table a perfectly straight path to follow. Take care to preserve the door’s finish by putting a small piece of cardboard between the clamps and the surface of the door. If the door is painted, be sure to use an oil base primer on the raw edge and either a latex or oil base finish coat (depending upon the existing finish). If the door is to be stained, use an oil base stain and a coat or two of oil base polyurethane. Finally, reinstall the door by placing it into the opening and installing the top hinge pin first then the remaining hinge pins.

This year my goal is to do; Operation Niños de Cuxpala (Kids of Cuxpala). We are hoping to get as many kids sponsored as we can! The goal is $100 per child.
