WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?
Bringing Sparkles to Life! OMG! It is hot! Seems like that is the phrase of the day here in the farmlands. Just came from downtown where the Farmers Market just closed and the Brentwood Art Wine & Jazz Festival is ramping up for a beautiful hot summer night in City Park. The corn has been harvested and can be found in your local Safeway and the last load of garlic and bell peppers will make their way to market in the next few days. You can hardly see Mt. Diablo from the smoke and smog, but local residents are taking advantage of some amazing pool time. What a great time to check in on a local gal who can put sparkle on anything. Her name is Dawn Gibson and she is the owner of DK Custom Tees in Discovery Bay. The best part of this assignment is I was in the market for a local business to do some hats and shirts for some boating friends and I was wanting a little dazzle. I gave her a call and asked if I could come by to talk about my ideas and she answered right away with gracious hello. Working out of her home in Disco Bay, she is easy to find and generally available if
you give her a call and tell her you are on your way.
some restrictions of materials. Another super bonus!
Upon arrival, I peeked inside her working headquarters in the garage and she stopped right away and met me at the front door. I liked her right away because, she, like me, seemed to be busier than a bee and ready to take on a new task without any hesitation. This is the dazzle part! I had my logo and wanted to put it on girls baseball caps, you know the ones with the Velcro in the back for easy ponytails, and have half sparkle and half your standard print. Her comment was “I love when someone brings me an idea and then I’m able to bring it to life!” How cool is that! And, the really great part is I don’t have to order 100. Big plus for those of us who want just a few for our besties!
I think I liked that she was so friendly and has been in business since 2007. Truth be told, I have heard her name mentioned many times over the years and am proud to say that the Monthly Grapevine has used her several times and is more than happy to refer her. She offers Car & Boat Vehicle Graphics, regular vinyl, glitter and rhinestones, Spirit Wear and Team Apparel for schools and local teams and Boot Camp Works. I am pretty sure if you can dream it, she can do it. You can even bring a copy of your logo and she will send it out to create your own file, or bring your logo file in and she can do the rest. Once your project is finished, you can take your CD with you. Super amazing!
While I was there, Dawn showed me a multitude of choices for my hats from glitter print to rhinestones and told me should could pretty much do whatever I needed. WOW! And, she seemed to get excited about my project which was another bonus. When I asked for a ballpark range of pricing, I was pleased to hear that it was so affordable. So, next question was, can you do shirts, tanks and other gear and she said, all you have to do is go to facebook.com/DKCUSTOMTEES and you can see all the work she has done and the variety of items available. And, if you can’t find it there and can get your items on your own and she can do the applications for you, with
So my new found friend Dawn, please know that this snoop was happy to have met you and really excited to have you take care of my hats. Normally, when I secretly shop a local business, I don’t give enough information so as not to expose my identity, but, I am sure you can keep this a secret since I am going to refer you to all my friends and now our readers. So, you guessed it, you scored ten sparkling rhinestones for being such a wonderful friend to this community and bringing our creations to life. DK Custom Tees can be reached at 925642-1512 or dkcustomtees@yahoo.com.

Worthy Words... “When my two children, Robert Jr. and Claudia, told me they were planning a 90th birthday party of me, I told them that I had seen an ad in the Grapevine for “Big Al Caricature” and it could be a great program for the party, doing a caricature of each guest. Big Al was contacted and he was the BIG event at the party at the Wedgewood Restaurant in Pittsburg. All the guests thought Big Al drawing their picture was a terrific party program. Big Al has good personality and does a great job, doing each picture quickly and with expertise. I tell all my friends about Big Al and his drawings and that I saw his ad in the Grapevine. Keep up the good work. ” Bob G. - Bethel Island, CA MonthlyGrapevine.com

TRAVEL TIME
Holiday Travel With summer almost gone, even though it does not feel like it, its difficult to think that Autumn is on the way. Yes, its time to start planning your holiday travel. Although the days still are sunny and hot, they are becoming shorter and before you know it Fall will be upon us and popular holiday vacation spots will be difficult to find. So now is the time to think about holiday travel. Space is limited and if you wait too long your holiday plans can be spoiled. So what might you be thinking in terms of a holiday vacation now? How about a holiday cruise? The cruise lines adjust many of their schedules during the holidays and many are longer cruises than normal. There are Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s cruises. Most of them at this time do have availability and of course most of them are in the warm weather climates. You don’t have to go to Florida anymore for a warm weather cruise. In addition to the Mexican Riviera cruises that originate on the West Coast,

there are closer ports for other seven day cruises, such as New Orleans and Galveston. And from Florida there are several ports that you can choose from including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Port Canaveral and Orlando.
well as baby sitting. So if what you want is to be totally spoiled for any of our big holidays that are on the horizon perhaps this is where you should be headed. In fact, Mexico now has some of these very nice all inclusive resorts as well in Puerto Vallarta, Ixtapa, Mazatlan, Cozumel and Cancun. These all-inclusive resorts are also called a cruise on land. It is because of the all inclusive benefits that have entitled them to that billing.
Many of our famous resorts fill up fast for the holidays, including Disneyland and Disney World. So if a Disney holiday might be in your plans, September or October will likely be just too late. But let’s not forget a few other warm weather areas that many of us want to be for the Holidays. As a result the warm climates beckon us. As for us on the West Coast the number one warm climate is Hawaii. However, what many of us do forget is when it is winter here it is also winter there. While it may be a bit warmer it’s likely to be much wetter. The tropical storms in the islands are wetter than what we get here. What might be the better alternative for warmth are all inclusive resorts in the Caribbean. Most of these resorts are family oriented and there are resorts for adults only as well. The all inclusive resorts are exactly what they say. All of your meals, all of your liquor, all of your entertainment and most include all of your non motorized water sports equipment as well. And almost all of the resorts also have children’s programs as

FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH
brushes and the fluoride concentration of the tooth paste. Children are also exposed to fluoride through consumption of food and beverages.
Fluoride Toothpaste For Children
Before starting fluoride therapy in children whether it be fluoride supplements, toothpaste or professional topical applications all children should undergo a caries risk assessment by the dentist and then get recommendations accordingly to prevent or control the dental caries or cavities. This is an important or critical step in developing a personalized prevention plan. The best predictor of a person developing dental cavities in the future is the presence of dental caries. Most 1 year old children do not have dental caries and it is difficult to predict which of these children will become the approximately 40 percent of children who experience dental caries in their baby teeth.
Fluoride toothpaste has been recommended for more than 50 years to prevent and control dental caries. More than 25 percent of children have or had dental caries by the time they enter kindergarten. The use of fluoride toothpaste in infants and children have been changed during this period of time in an effort to maximize the caries prevention and to minimize the risk of dental fluorosis. Children younger than 5 years tend to swallow toothpaste while brushing. Older children are more able to spit out toothpaste consistently after brushing. Many researchers have found that brushing with fluoride toothpaste reduces dental caries in school children but fluoride toothpaste use at an early age can be associated with dental fluorosis. This depends on the number of times the child brushed his or her teeth with the toothpaste, the amount of toothpaste dispensed every time the child
Therefore, considering the best available evidence and the continued high caries rate in children the American Dental Association currently advises parents and caregivers to brush with water, and to consult with a dentist before using fluoride toothpaste for children younger than two years. Use of a pea sized amount of fluoride toothpaste is recommended

for children from two to six years of age. The ADA also recommends for children younger than 3 years to begin brushing teeth as soon as they come into the mouth by using fluoride toothpaste no more than a smear or the size of a grain of rice. Brush teeth thoroughly twice per day as directed by the dentist. Children 3 to 6 years of age should be supervised while brushing to minimize swallowing of toothpaste. It is also important to keep up with the regular checkup with the dentist to prevent and to protect children’s teeth from getting cavities.

ON THE HOUSE
window treatments can be as cost effective as you want them to be, so don’t be afraid to be picky. And once you find treatments that appeal to you, use them to block the sun on the hottest days to reduce your energy expenses.
to reduce your energy waste and your monthly bill.
DIY Done Simple: 5 Projects You Can Tackle In A Weekend This time of year was made for DIY projects. The weather is perfect, the projects have mounted, you’ve got the time and the motivation. Now if only you had the budget. Not to worry, DIY doesn’t have to be synonymous with expensive! There are plenty of impactful DIY projects that can be tackled quickly and affordably in just a single weekend. Below is a list of five projects that you can use to scratch that project itch without putting a noticeable dent in your wallet. * Seal the gaps. Hidden gaps and cracks in your home could be allowing air to escape, making the temperature in the house more difficult to regulate and your energy bill more expensive than it needs to be. Seal these gaps with an air-sealing insulating foam to help protect against air and moisture infiltration. It will create a tighter building envelope that helps
* A fresh coat of paint. How many times have you walked by that wall, those cabinets or that wooden chair and thought, “I need to repaint that”? Well, now’s the time. Painting small spaces and furniture yourself is a small, inexpensive project that can be finished in a single weekend. So start picking colors today. Once you’re done, you can feel proud knowing that you put in the hard work to give your home a fresh look.
* Expand your DIY. Your DIY projects don’t have to be confined to your home; they can also involve your boat, your RV or your other vehicles. Multipurpose Foam Sealants can be used to fill unwanted gaps and cracks in vehicles, allowing you to cruise into a vacation with no worries. You can scratch that DIY itch without a month-long commitment or completely draining your bank account. All you have to do is pick the projects that match your budget, your time frame, and your goals and get to work. And when they’re done, you’ll have the rest of the season to enjoy your new and improved home.
* Ward off vermin. You’re not the only one who’s happy to see that warmer weather has arrived. Vermin of the mammal, reptile or insect variety will also be more active during the warmer months and they may set their sights on your home. GREAT STUFF(TM) Pestblock Insulating Foam Sealant helps block vermin from entering your home through gaps, cracks and holes. Spray the foam to block these points of entry and the only guests you’ll greet this season are those you actually invited. * Update your window treatments. If “treatment” is a generous word when describing the accent pieces around your windows, it’s time for an upgrade. Whether curtains, blinds or drapes,

LAW OFFICES OF JOAN GRIMES
age or older who moved to a nursing home and/or received home and community-based services; 3. Limits recovery to only those assets subject to California probate; and
New Medi-Cal Recovery Laws Medi-Cal is California’s version of the federal Medicaid program. Medi-Cal is jointly funded by the state and federal government and provides free or low cost medical assistance for low income or low resource individuals.
4. Restricts the amount of interest that the state can charge on liens. 5. Requires the state to waive the claim as a substantial hardship when the estate subject to recovery is a homestead or modest value, i.e. a home whose fair market value is 50% or less of the average price of homes in the county where the homestead is located; and
Until now, California law allowed MediCal to seek recovery from recipients who received any Medi-Cal benefits when they were 55 years of age or older, regardless of when medical services were received.
6. Requires the state to provide a current or former beneficiary or their authorized representative a copy of the amount of the Medi-cal expenses that may be recoverable.
Effective January 1, 2017, Medi-Cal’s ability to recover is going to be severely reduced for those individuals receiving Medi-Cal benefits who die on or after January 1, 2017. The new law:
Under the old law, the only way to protect assets of a Medi-Cal recipient from recovery was to transfer assets away from the recipient by the time of his or her death. However, effective January 1, 2017, recovery will be limited to assets subject to probate.
1. Prohibits Medi-Cal recovery claims on the estates of surviving spouses or registered domestic partners; 2. Limits recovery for those 55 years of
What does this all mean? It means you need to make CERTAIN that any current Medi-Cal recipient or potential
recipient has their assets in a non-probate instrument such as a revocable living trust, joint tenancy, survivorship or life estate. Simply having a Last Will and Testament (“a Will”) will not be sufficient as a will must be probated. Holding property as joint tenants will also prevent recovery, but holding property in this form is generally not recommended and should not be done without consulting an attorney. If you have a family member who is currently receiving Medi-Cal benefits or may rely on Medi-Cal benefits in the future, it is critical that you review their estate plan to ensure there will be no Medi-Cal recovery after their death.

AMY’S BRIGHT ADVICE
Be Your Best Coach!
Business coaching is a type of human resource development for business leaders. It provides positive support, feedback and advice on an individual or group basis to improve personal effectiveness in the business setting. Coaches help their clients advance towards specific professional goals. These goals include career transition, interpersonal and professional communication, performance management, organizational effectiveness, managing career and personal life changes, developing executive presence, enhancing strategic thinking, dealing effectively with conflict, and building an effective team within an organization. In the last ten years the coaching industry has exploded. A report by the Market research firm IBISWorld said coaching is a growing $1 billion dollar industry in the United States alone and one of the fastest growing industries for upcoming entrepreneurs. Whether you need a life coach or a business coach there are many options available to you but for many an expense of such magnitude can be very costly and sometimes not within the budget. But, as you will quickly discover the results achieved by professional coaching has a great return on its investment and
is one of the best investments to your business. The question that then comes to mind is, “So how can the upcoming or struggling entrepreneur receive coaching within their budget?” SelfCoaching might be your best option until you reach a level financially that allows you the ability to add coaching outside of yourself to your business budget. Self-Coaching is being your own life or professional coach to help you provide direction and structure and motivation for yourself through an introspective process that will help identify and achieve personal and professional goals. I have listed some practices that you can use to start coaching yourself, providing much of the same kind of direction, structure and motivation that a coach would provide. Determine and write down your vision and the action steps needed to be achieved in order to succeed. Examine these goals daily to keep them at the top of your mind at all times. Setup self-accountability and share those goals and numbers with someone else (personally or professionally) Establish where you are and where you want to go. Keep a very detailed daily journal of strengths and weaknesses, successes and failures of the day. After 8 weeks of journaling examine what are the patterns you see positive and negative. What do you focus on the most positive or negative daily? How can you get more positive things and circumstances in your life? Resolve internal problems by writing
them down. How do you feel while you are thinking those negative thoughts (shame, guilt, fear)? Ask yourself the difficult questions such as does this relationship personally or professionally need to change? Is this relationship building me up or tearing me down? Do your behaviors mirror the way you want God and others to believe you to be? What things are you doing today that will keep you from meeting your goals? Expand your comfort zone! Face those fears!! Write down fears and decipher where those fears surfaced from and how can facing and defeating that fear help you in your business and life. Try new things – find your passion and include that passion into your work life. When you love what you do you will be unstoppable! Listen to yourself. Meditate on the feelings, frustrations and joys that constantly run through your mind daily and force yourself to not push them aside but instead to face them directly and either do something to change them or tell yourself that it is out of your control and surrender it to God! Most importantly I must say above all else that the best coach is disciplined but ALWAYS supportive while guiding and teaching so be your best loving and firm coach you can be and watch your life and dreams/visions come alive!
