WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?

his passion and worked in the motorcycle industry and finally decided to work closer to home. He says “This was a great opportunity and I’m having a lot of fun.”

The Big Green Egg is Here!

Here it is, a few days before the official start of Fall, and the rain came down so hard yesterday, you couldn’t see across town and the street drains were flowing like crazy. The only signs of farming in the ag core are the tractors seen off in the distant fields that have been put to bed for winter. Soon social media and our televisions have been slamming us with “Pre Black Friday” specials, the local retailers have lines waiting to pay for their purchases. Lucky for me, I am off on assignment to a new place in town that everyone is talking about.

Since I am a fan of Buffalo Wild Wings, this was a snap to find. Brentwood Outdoor Living is located right behind the restaurant and can be seen as you enter the parking lot from the beautiful window displays and the Big Green Egg on the sidewalk. Not a real egg, just the most popular way to cook outdoors in years. I actually couldn’t wait to go inside because the owner, Kevin King, is a long time friend to not only me, but the community. After retiring from the Brentwood PD in 2008, he followed

Now, the store. Well, it really isn’t just a store, it’s an experience! As soon as you walk in the door, you feel like you have stepped into the wonderful world of outdoor living.

Nice choice for a name, Kevin! This huge showroom is like going to the annual home show. It is filled with areas of furniture that look like Sunset magazine, all the way down to coasters for your drinks. I think I liked this the most because you don’t have to think about matching colors, layout of the furniture or how it is going to feel when you sit on those amazing cushions. And the neat part is, the area right next to it is an outdoor kitchen fit for a chef. And next to that, the spa you have listed on your bucket list.

These upscale, premium products include kitchens, swim spas, patio furniture, grills, umbrellas, hammocks, swings and those incredible fire tables. Brands include Hotspring Spas, Louisiana, Alfresco, Artisan, Twin Eagles grills and The Big Green Egg. And the best part, the staff knows all about each product and is more than gracious to either help you or just allow you to wander.

Ten extra points!

Now the umbrellas. For those of you, which I am pretty sure is most of you since we get into the 100 plus degrees here in East

County, who have an umbrella in their back yard, you know what a pain it is to find the right color and quality material, let alone dig through a box to find it. Brentwood Outdoor Living has them lined up around up all along the wall and opened up in the store to get the whole experience. They also have every product you need to maintain and use your spa, pool and kitchen. And these guys are so knowledgeable, they can tell you what the “thingamagiggie” is and can order it for you if they don’t have it in stock. Another ten points!

Being a secret shopper is so much fun, but to tell you the truth folks, I really enjoy it when I know the owner, although they can’t know who I am, and I can witness first hand their passion for bringing their dream to life. This is so true about Kevin. He is personable, kind, very meticulous and truly cares about his community, quality products and good customer service. So friend, I am inviting our readers to come experience your dream. The Monthly Grapevine proudly gives you twenty colorful umbrellas for sharing Brentwood Outdoor Living with us. Who will be snooped next? It could be you.

Brentwood Outdoor Living is located at 6061 Lone Tree Way in Brentwood. They can be reached at 925-626-6383 or visit their website at brentwoodoutdoorliving. com.

TRAVEL TIME

Bring You Back New Imagine being pampered at a luxurious resort and waking up each morning to a brand new, stunning view of the world. That’s just what it’s like on a Princess cruise, where their motto is to bring you back new.

Princess offers a casual yet refined traditional cruise experience with wellappointed ships which gives “a big ship choice with a small ship feel.” Although renowned for its expertise in Alaska cruising, Princess sails all over the world with ships ranging from 672 passengers to 3,560. The new generation of Princess ships, there truly is complete freedom to do “what you want, when you want.”

Why not explore the world in Princess Style? Whether it’s fresh, authentic culinary experiences, watching movies under the stars, awesome live entertainment, or a large variety of onboard activities for all ages, you have the freedom to choose what you desire.

for an ocean view room and $1,499 for a balcony room. Fares for the October cruise start at $1,199 for an ocean view room, $1,399 for a balcony room and $1,799 for a mini-suite. These fares are per person, based on double occupancy and subject to availability. In addition, fares for 3rd and 4th guests in same stateroom start at $299 each.

Furthermore, both cruises are included in Princess Cruises’ 3-For-Free promotion: a shipboard location upgrade, free gratuities, and on-board spending money. However, both cruises are selling out fast, so call today.

Princess will be enhancing its cruising experience through a new concierge program called Ocean Medallion™, debuting on the Regal Princess® this November. Spend more time enjoying your vacation with your personal concierge. It will personalize your vacation experience so you can do more of what you love. From effortlessly ordering drinks to keeping in touch with your traveling companions, to inviting you to take part in activities that allow you to discover new things and have relaxing moments on board.

This is your vacation. It should take care of you, guide you, and even anticipate you. It should invite you to activities you’ll enjoy and handle every request with ease.

Not to be outdone, Princess will be debuting two new coastal cruises focusing on the Pacific Northwest next year. The 7-day cruises are round trip from San Francisco aboard the Grand Princess and set sail September 23 and October 7, 2018. The cruise itinerary includes visits to Astoria (Oregon), Seattle, Vancouver (British Columbia) and Victoria.

Getaway Cruises n’ Tours can be contacted at 925-679-8428 or getawaycnt1@prodigy.net. Visit their website for the latest in cruise and tour specials at www.getawaycruisesntours.com.

MEET DR. NANCY

for my sciatica. The chiropractor got rid of all my pain. I decided to go back to school to become a chiropractor to help others. When I graduated from Life West Chiropractic College, I worked with the doctor who helped me.

Champion of Chiropratic I am a chiropractor at Champion Chiropractic offering deep tissue massage with spinal manipulation with every treatment.

Stretches and exercises are also given to each patient. I treat people for neck, shoulder, back, leg and foot pain. I help to give pain relief from headaches. My patients with auto and sports injuries are treated with special care so that they can get back to their pre injury condition as quick as possible. Many of my patients come in for treatments to maintain proper spinal alignment and to prevent pain and to keep healthy. Student& senior discounts are available.

I have been a chiropractor for 27 years.

I trained in powerlifting and was chosen to represent the U.S. at the world powerlifting competition in Vienna, Austria in 1985. After setting a world record in the deadlift ( lifted 363 lbs. at a body weight of 97 lbs.) I experienced back and leg pain. I saw a chiropractor

I have a BS degree in Education from Miami University, Ohio and a Masters degree from The Ohio State University. I taught P.E. For 12 years before becoming a chiropractor. I participated in many sports: field hockey, soccer, track, swimming, rugby, powerlifting, bodybuilding, and am presently an equestrian. My sports background helped prepare me for my chiropractic practice.

your spine. My sports background and years of practice is very beneficial to my patients.

My patients like my flexibility in setting up appointments for them-I try to give them a time that works for them and I provide same day appointments. My patients like my easygoing friendly office. I have a cute 5 year old Border Collie named Scotty who greets everyone at he door. My patients enjoy having a massage with their adjustments and not having to feel rushed to “ get in and out.” Saturday morning appointments are available.

Come in and try our friendly office. Stop by and say “Hi!”

My most rewarding part of running my business is meeting so many nice people and being able to help them feel better.

Some of my patients invited me to their weddings and baby showers. Turns out, I’m quite the matchmaker!

My office is very easy going. There is no pressure to make appointments. My fees are very affordable. Each patient gets plenty of time with me for their treatments consisting of massage and spinal manipulation. I have a special flexion/extension table that gives you a great stretch and helps to decompress

Champion Chiropractic is located at 8157 Brentwood Blvd. Ste. A in Brentwood or call Dr. Nancy for an appointment at 925-516-1395.

FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH

Stroke And Dental Health Stroke is caused by the interruption of the blood supply to the brain. A blood vessel bursts or is blocked by a blood clot which in turn cuts off the oxygen supply and nutrients to the brain causing damage to the brain tissue. Symptoms and signs of stroke depend on the location and extent of the tissue damage. Stroke is the second leading cause of death in people sixty years or older in industrialized countries.

About 15 million people worldwide experience a stroke every year.

Infections are known to be a risk factor for stroke. Upper respiratory tract infections have been known for a long time to increase the risk of stroke.

Chronic infections such as bronchitis and chlamydia also pose risk for stroke. More recently dental infections have been added to the concerns. Any infection causes the release of inflammatory mediators which can have detrimental

effects in the body.For example the inflammatory mediators can activate the blood coagulation system causing blood clots. Small particles of the clot can get in the blood vessels in the brain causing stroke. However the inflammatory reaction is highly complex. Many factors such as genetics, diet, obesity and behavioral factors such as smoking and drinking modify the inflammatory reaction.

According to recent studies maintaining good oral health diminishes the risk for cardiovascular events including stroke.

There has been evidence where studies show an association particularly between poor periodontal health and stroke.

Bacteria which can cause gum disease have been detected in the plaque lining the blood vessels leading to increased stroke risk. Treatment of gum disease seems to improve the lining for the blood vessels. Maintaining oral health helps in the general health of the blood vessels in the body.

Maintaining satisfactory oral hygiene among patients who have survived stroke can be challenging because often times their manual dexterity is reduced after having a stroke. Special aids are available to help these patients. For

Who’s Who... in East County

World Class Window Coverings is a local family owned and operated company. They offer a full line of quality window treatments, including shutters, blinds, solar shades, roman shades, sunscreens, custom drapery and more! With a very highly trained staff (no subcontractors), they are passionate about finding the perfect window treatment for your home, so that you will be happy for many years to come.

Owner, Dustin Yocum has been in the industry for over 17 years. He’s always had a love for window treatments, but his true passion is shutters. In 2008, Dustin’s wife and co-owner, Melisa wanted to spend more time at home with the kids, so she gave up her job as a teacher to help run the family business. Since then, they have been working very hard to create a company that has integrity and a reputation for amazing customer service. They strive to set an example for their children and inspire them to work hard and be ethical in whatever they commit to. Melisa says, “Owning a small business is so challenging, but the relationships we’ve built as a result has made it all worth it.”

In the past, Dustin worked for many different window covering corporations and a large shutter manufacturer. His diverse background has allowed him to pull from those experiences to build a reputable company. “Ultimately,” Melissa says, “We don’t think there is any education or experience that prepares you for running your own business. Instead, we believe the key to success for a small business is passion, dedication, tons of hard work and perseverance. There are so many ups and downs, but if you truly love what you do, then you just keep pushing forward.”

What Melisa and Dustin believe sets them apart is good old-fashioned customer service. They see value in every customer and in every job they complete and, as such, they treat a customer’s home as if it was their own, listen carefully to customer’s needs and work with them on selecting different options. They also want customers to feel like they were treated with respect, that their business was truly appreciated and to feel confident in referring World Class to friends and family, hopefully, gaining a customer for life.

there is enough space to position a wheelchair next to the toilet, bath or shower, to enable a safe and easy transfer.

Bathroom Remodeling Tips Making Aging-in-Place Safer and Easier Homeowners may find they need to adapt their bathrooms so it is safe for someone with limited mobility or physical impairments to use. The following are 9 tips that you can use today: Remodel the bathroom on the main floor. If you have a house with multiple levels, consider remodeling the bathroom which is located on the same level as the bedroom of the physically impaired person who will be using it. Having to climb stairs every time they need to use the bathroom is challenging for individuals with limited mobility, and presents an increased risk.

Provide extra space in the bathroom.

Make sure there is enough room in the bathroom to move a wheelchair around, with doorways set to at least 32 inches wide. And ensure that

Remember an elevated toilet seat.

People with mobility impairments often find it difficult to stand up from a low-set toilet. Adapting to an elevated toilet seat is helpful and reduces the stress of sitting and standing.

Wheelchair users will also find that a wide toilet seat is beneficial, as they can then rely on a lateral sliding transfer to move from the wheelchair to the toilet seat and back.

Stick with non-slip floors. Non-slip tiles are a must to prevent slipping and tripping on the bathroom floor. Loose rugs can be hazardous so stick with non-slip materials.

Make tubs and showers more accessible. Consider a customized bath wet area. Walk-in tubs are a great solution for the physically impaired, and older bath tubs can easily be replaced with a walk-in bathtub.

Consider having a seating area in the shower so an individual does not have to remain standing the entire time while showering. And be sure that the tub and shower surfaces are non-slip as well.

Use low-maintenance materials. When you remodel your bathroom, consider using modern materials that are easy to clean, are mildew-resistant, and have a lifetime guarantee. There are many available options for colors, patterns, and styles.

Bathroom remodeling is a timely and cost-effective solution for homeowners who need to adapt their bathroom making it safer and more convenient for someone with physical impairments to use, while increasing a home’s value.

Add grab bars. Using towel rails as grab bars is a major safety risk as they will not support a person. Instead, install grab bars. Having grab bars next to the bath, shower and toilet are critical to help support someone when they move around the bathroom.

LAW OFFICES OF MICHAEL PRIMUS The California Homestead laws protect a person’s home from nonmortgage creditor claims in and out of bankruptcy. The homestead laws are part of a broader set of laws called exemptions. In addition to the homestead, the exemption laws protect household goods, furniture, vehicles, retirement and much more.

The homestead is the largest exemption and protects the most important asset, your home. As good as that sounds, the homestead has conditions and limitations.

Your Home – The homestead only applies to real estate you own and live in.

You do not need to be the only owner to claim the homestead. Similarly, it is not a problem if you rent part of the house to someone else. The idea is to protect the roof over your head.

Value Limitation – The homestead protects realizable equity of up to $75,000 if you are single and under age 65; up to $100,000 if you are married or

have a dependent; and up to $175,000 for people age 65 or over, disabled people, or certain low-income individuals over the age of 55. Realizable equity is the amount of money you would receive if the house was sold, meaning after payment of real estate commissions and all mortgages.

No Foreclosure Protection – The homestead does not protect your home from foreclosure by a mortgage lender.

This means if your mortgage payments are delinquent and the lender is threatening to foreclose, the homestead laws will not help you.

No Protection from IRS liens – The homestead does not protect against federal tax liens. This means tax liens can be recorded and enforced despite the homestead. Fortunately, the IRS almost never attempts to sell a person’s home to satisfy an unpaid tax debt, even huge tax debts.

The homestead in bankruptcy – The homestead is most powerful in the context of chapter 7 bankruptcy. The homestead laws protect your home from being sold to satisfy debts like credit cards, payday loans and medical bills. The homestead, in conjunction with the bankruptcy laws, can even

GOD BLESS AMERICA

remove judgment liens from the title to your home. The homestead also offers protection in chapter 13 bankruptcy.

The homestead outside of bankruptcy – If a non-mortgage creditor (credit card, payday loan, medical bill) obtains a judgment against you, and attempts to sell your home to satisfy the judgment you are entitled to assert the homestead as a defense.

In summary, the homestead laws shield your home from most creditor claims and are most powerful when used in combination with bankruptcy.

At the Law Office of Michael Primus we have helped thousands of clients get out of debt, stop wage garnishments, and start fresh through bankruptcy. We offer a free consultation and have offices in Walnut Creek, Antioch, and Hercules.

Law Offices of Michael Primus can be

reached in Antioch or Walnut Creek at 925231-4793 or visit www.MichaelPrimus.com.

AMY’S BRIGHT ADVICE

How Do You Define Success?

Success is defined by Webster’s Dictionary as the fact of getting or achieving wealth, respect, or fame.

But, thank goodness, today that definition has transitioned within our society into more than just the state of our bank accounts and/or how others perceive us. Our society has made many unfortunate changes throughout the years but I truly believe that this is something that we as Americans can be proud of. I believe success is defined by who you are when no one is looking; one who has a superior work ethic, a strong faith and a great desire to serve and lead others down the same path.

We need to ask ourselves questions in order to evaluate whether we have reached a stature of successfulness, but also realize that there is no limit to the range in which that can truly be measured. Do you see success as how others perceive you or is it more of a personal view of yourself? Is success really attainable or is it something that one will continuously spend their lives trying to achieve, and is that striving what makes you more successful than others? All these questions will help you formulate how you see success for yourself and if you are on the correct

path to achieving that state. The other thing we must remember is that what we believe success looks like might actually be smok and mirrors. Think of all the famous and wealthy people that on the outside look like they have it all together but then we find out that they are completely broken and miserable on the inside, would you still look at them as a definition of someone successful or not? Wouldn’t you rather be completely without financial means but live in a state of complete joy and feel spiritually complete and whole? Jesus defined success as one who puts others and God above himself with no desire to have personal recognition and reward for serving with great love. Why is it that when we help others or are able to give to others we feel blessed? Maybe success is knowing that you have made a difference and maybe even leaving behind a legacy that others can follow.

New Ways to Measure Success.

• Character in solitude. Those who display character in the dark will always reflect it in the light.

• Contentment in circumstance. Rich is the man or woman who can find contentment in any circumstance.

• Courage during adversity. Courage can only be revealed when it is required.

• Faithfulness in commitment. Those whose words are true.

• Generosity in abundance.

• Gratitude despite circumstance.

• Humility in accomplishment. Those who are quick to deflect praise in accomplishment ought to be first in receiving it.

• Integrity in the details. Those who show integrity in the little things of life will typically display it in the bigger things as well.

• Kindness to the weak. Our true measure of kindness is shown in how we treat those who will never repay us.

• Love for enemies. It takes a special type of person to extend love towards those who treat us unjustly.

• Perseverance in failure. We will all at some point face failure. Success are those who get back up and try again.

• Respect for authority.

• Responsibility for mistake. Only those who can admit their mistakes have the opportunity to learn from them.

The ultimate question we need to ask ourselves on a daily basis is: have you defined goals and action items in order to be successful and if you don’t believe that you are successful or on the road to success what can you do today to change that?
