Some moments in life create lasting memories.

We’re honored to be among yours. Choose the medical group voted best by Signal readers since 2009. What makes a medical group the best? It’s not just online scheduling and bill payments (though we do offer that). It’s not being able to reach someone in the middle of the night (we have you covered there, too). You want a doctor who knows that there’s no such thing as a “routine procedure.” You want a doctor who listens. You want a doctor you can trust. We’re proud to be those doctors, caring for you since 1923. And thanks to our affiliation with Providence, chosing a Facey doctor means a seamless experience at our clinics and the area’s top-rated hospitals. If you haven’t already, choose a Facey doctor today and see for yourself why Signal readers have voted us the best medical group every year since 2009.

Vincenzo’s Pizza in Newhall Proudly serving the Santa Clarita Valley for 43 years, the owners at Vincenzo’s Pizza in Newhall were thrilled to discover they had been chosen as the Best Family Restaurant by the readers of the Santa Clarita Signal. “We pride ourselves on our customer service, and some of our employees have been with us for more than 30 years,” explained owner Steven Katz. “We know our neighbors well and have been making our customers feel welcome at our restaurant for more than four decades!” Operating from the same location since 1979, the restaurant was started by descendants of Vincenzo Chianese, who emigrated to the U.S. after World War II. The recipe for the authentic Napoli dough has been passed down through generations of Vincenzo’s family, and they introduced it to the residents of Pittsburg when he opened the first Vincenzo’s Pizza there in 1950. Vincenzo’s unique crust is all natural, contains no dairy products, eggs, fillers, extenders or artificial flavorings, and is still the same recipe that was used back in 1950.

Known as a true East Coast pizza, lovers of pizza have been visiting Vincenzo’s from not only the Santa Clarita Valley, but as far away as Bakersfield, Santa Barbara and Palm Springs, just to get a taste of Vincenzo’s amazing pizzas! Located at 24504 Lyons Avenue in Newhall, Vincenzo’s is just east of Interstate 5, with their driveway just between the Chevron and Shell stations on Lyons.

refusing to compromise has been an important part of our heritage. It’s why we choose only the leanest, tastiest cuts of meats and fine, aged cheeses. Slicing meats and cheeses right in front of you is not only the tastiest way to make a sub sandwich — it’s the only authentic way. Same goes with fresh grilling cheese steaks. At Jersey Mike’s, we would have it no other way. Authentic Jersey bread is the foundation of a sub above. We bake our bread fresh in our stores every day. Traditional white and whole wheat. It’s the only way to have a truly authentic Jersey Mike’s sub. Jersey Mikes has five locations in the SCV to serve you with more coming soon. For the nearest location, go to www.jerseymikes.com/locations. 

At Jersey Mike’s, we carefully consider every aspect of what we do — every slice, every sandwich, every store. We provide our customers with sustenance and substance, too. Here’s how we do it: Red wine vinegar and an olive oil blend. It’s how a Jersey Mike’s sub gets its exquisite zing. It’s how bites get boosted, and a great sub becomes an even better one. The Juice adds that certain something extra. An exclamation. The kind of exclamation … you can eat. Our produce is grown, packed and shipped locally (where available), and then handled with the utmost care at our stores. When you eat one of our subs Mike’s Way, you can be certain that your veggies were prepped by hand earlier that day for the highest level of freshness and flavor. When it comes to quality,

Kitchens have long been considered the most popular gathering spaces in a home. That popularity compels millions of homeowners to renovate their kitchens each year, and the return on those investments is often significant. A number of variables, including the value of neighboring homes and how quickly homeowners sell their homes after a renovation, affect the return on investment with a given project. According to Remodeling magazine’s “2021 Cost vs. Value Report,” homeowners recouped roughly 72% of their investment in a minor kitchen remodel at resale. That’s a sizable return that outperformed other popular upgrades, including vinyl siding replacement and wood deck additions. When renovating kitchens, homeowners will have to consider various components within the room, including the floors. Average flooring costs can be hard to calculate because they depend so heavily on homeowners’ choice of materials. The following are some popular flooring materials that homeowners can consider as they plan to renovate their kitchens. Vinyl Vinyl flooring is popular thanks in large part to its cost. According to the home remodeling experts at HomeAdvisor, vinyl flooring installation is much less costly than other types of flooring. But its budget-friendliness is not the only benefit of vinyl flooring,

which HGTV notes is easy to clean, making it an ideal choice for families that routinely confront spills and stains. Porcelain/Ceramic Tile Home Advisor reports that the average cost to install porcelain or ceramic tile flooring is between $885 and $2,994. That’s less than the average cost to install stone or wood flooring. Hardwood It’s hard to beat hardwood when it comes to aesthetic appeal. Hardwood can be especially suitable in homes with openconcept floor plans that already have hardwood floors in surrounding rooms. HomeAdvisor notes that hardwood flooring installation can be costly. However HGTV notes that engineered wood planks may be something to consider in the kitchen, as these are designed to be less susceptible to humidity and temperature. Stone Natural stone tile is another popular kitchen flooring material. HomeAdvisor traces that popularity to its wide variety of styles and price points. Stone tiles also provide a unique look because no two look the same, which might appeal to homeowners who want their kitchen floors to create a one-of-a-kind impression. Kitchen flooring materials vary widely. That variety ensures there’s a material for any style and budget homeowners are working with. (MC)  July 30, 2022

Paul Davis Restoration of Santa Clarita

The list of reasons business owners and homeowners alike call the multi-award-winning Paul Davis Restoration of Santa Clarita Team after they’ve experienced a property damage loss like water, fire, mold, smoke and more are numerous — but the response is always the same: “We’re on our way!” Local Paul Davis Restoration owners Joel and Susan Moss have managed to set their company apart in a way that has translated to an everexpanding referral base of thrilled commercial business owners, homeowners, landlords, insurance agents, realtors and more. “The greatest honor,” says Joel, “is hearing from a new client that a friend or contractor gave them our card and said, ‘Don’t bother calling anyone else. They’ll take care of you.’” That means something different in every case; no two damages are alike. “The consistency, however, can be found in our lightningfast response times; in our ability to reduce the stress that’s inherent in these situations; to streamline paperwork and phone calls so that we’re not further inconveniencing a client; and

our accessibility — you can always reach us for questions or guidance,” explains Joel, a licensed contractor with decades of experience. “When it comes to restoration, we’re known for premier, top-tier service. We’re fast and provide high-quality restoration services that prioritize your safety and comfort while also being aesthetically pleasing. We put everything where we found it so that life gets back to normal as fast as possible.” But don’t take Joel’s word for it! With only five-star Google and Yelp reviews - and hundreds of outstanding customer satisfaction testimonials on their website — Paul Davis Restoration of Santa Clarita is redefining what it means to be a Restoration Company. And earning the “Best Of” title from readers of The

We also offer our Swat-Away mosquito service to keep this dangerous airborne pest away

from your home environment. Our service offerings can be combined and tailored to meet all your pest management needs.

Not only are you saving time and stress by only communicating with one contractor the entire time, but your Paul Davis Restoration team will also work directly with your insurance provider — so you don’t have to. For any size and type of loss — water, fire, mold, storm and more — from mitigation needs all the way through reconstruction - call Paul Davis Restoration of Santa Clarita first. They do it all! 

Design Ideas to Give Your Home a Farmhouse Feel Farmhouse style homes are having a moment. A 2020 survey from Homes.com asked more than 5,000 adults across the United States about their favorite house style from a list that included bohemian craftsman, mid-century modern ranch, French chateau, and Tudor, among others. Modern farmhouse was the runaway winner, as participants in 42 of the 50 states indicated this simple, cozy style was their favorite. Home renovation projects can help homeowners put their own unique stamp on their homes, and such projects can be both aesthetic and functional in nature. The following are some farmhouse design elements homeowners can consider as they look to transform their home interiors with this popular style in mind. Exposed beams Exposed beams instantly evoke images of a farmhouse. The home improvement experts at BobVila.com note that this rustic renovation project can utilize real wood or faux beams that look like the real thing. Decorative beams that have nothing to do with a home’s structural integrity can be installed by skilled do-it-yourselfers. However,

even faux beams are heavy, and BobVila.com recommends homeowners have an engineer assess their existing structure prior to installation. Distressed wood finishes Distressing is designed to make something look less than

perfect. Distressed wood finishes can be found throughout many farmhouse style homes. Furniture and picture frames can provide the distressed look farmhouse fans are looking for. This is a relatively inexpensive project that many homeowners can tackle on their own after watching some online tutorials that recommend the right tools and techniques to get the job done right. Kitchen sink Many components combine to create a truly classic farmhouse kitchen. But perhaps no component is more essential than the classic farmhouse sink. The renovation experts at HGTV note that a classic farmhouse sink features a deep, wide basin. Farmhouse sinks are large enough to handle all the dishes that come after a big family meal. Old-fashioned porcelain sinks are worth consideration by homeowners who want their kitchen sinks to evoke a traditional farmhouse feel. Farmhouse style homes are wildly popular. Some simple renovations can help homeowners with a fondness for farmhouse style bring this classic look into their homes. (MC) 

A Royal Suite Home Furnishings Celebrates 43 Years in Santa Clarita If you or family members lived in the Santa Clarita Valley in the ‘80s, there’s a good chance that they made a very unique purchase from A Royal Suite Home Furnishings that decade — a waterbed. “Waterbeds were all the rage when we first opened,” says owner Norb Moniz. “Now, our customers are much more interested in sleep solutions like memory foam and brands like Tempur-Pedic and Restonic.” What hasn’t changed is the commitment the A Royal Suite team makes to customer satisfaction. “We don’t just sell furniture — we build relationships for life,” says Moniz. “There’s a reason we get so many clients in their mid 20s coming in to buy their first sofa. It’s because their parents and grandparents sent them in. They say, ‘My dad told me that you’d take care of me,’ and we do. We have a massive

selection that fits every design taste and our customer service is unparalleled.” It’s this philosophy and practice that has drawn national attention to A Royal Suite Home Furnishings. The company, which boasts two other locations in Oxnard and

Palmdale, was recently recognized as a Retailer of the Year finalist by the Home Furnishings Association, one of the most coveted and influential recognitions for retailers in the furniture industry. The 16 national finalists, which ranged from large, national chains to

local, family-owned retailers like A Royal Suite, were nominated by their peers, manufacturers, vendors and furniture reps. Sharron Bradley, CEO of the HFA, said many of the qualities of a successful furniture store are on display every day at A Royal Suite Home Furnishings in Santa Clarita. “Here’s a store that creates a unique, personalized shopping experience and is an integral part of its community. They’re wonderful models for our industry.” A Royal Suite Home Furnishings is currently preparing for a floorto-ceiling remodel directed by industry guru Connie Post. “We’re growing, not going,” says Moniz, “and we’re excited to invest in elevating the client experience even further.” A Royal Suite Home Furnishings is located on Carl Boyer Drive, near Sam’s Club. 

Brent’s Carpet One Thinking about buying new flooring? Only one flooring store has been voted #1 in the Signal’s “Best Of” readers’ choice awards nearly every time it has ever been run. Brent’s Carpet One has been known for its service and quality since Brent Griffiths founded the company in 1979. Brent was the main salesperson and ran the company for more than 30 years. While he retired a number of years ago, he is doing well and made sure to pass his passion for flooring and his penchant for integrity to his son Ben, along with the day to day of running the family store. We asked Ben the hardest thing about shopping for flooring. “Most people don’t buy flooring very often, and a lot of the information you can find on the internet is flawed or biased,” he said. “The most important part of shopping for flooring is learning what

quality floor is right for your situation. The best way to do that is finding a company you can trust to give you honest information.” He went on to explain that durability goes hand in hand with quality, and if you take the extra time to learn what will hold up in your home, it can make a world of difference in how long your floor lasts. “Every store has a reputation not just for their service level, but also for the products they sell. While some stores push lower cost and quality product for easier, cheaper sales, it reflects poorly on the store when customers have to readdress flooring in 5 years instead of 15-20.” Brent’s Carpet One doesn’t just talk about quality; they have warranties that are the most comprehensive in the business. Their “Beautiful Guarantee” is unique in the industry. Flooring products

that are labeled as a part of their “Medal Warranty System” come with the following language: “… our guarantee that if you don’t love your new floor, we’ll replace it for free.” They also are proud to offer lifetime warranties on labor, instead of the typical one year labor warrantee offered in the industry. When asked about why their warranties were so different, Ben responded, “Brent’s is part of the largest specialty flooring cooperative in the world. We are well known because we approach flooring differently.” We asked him why

that matters and he said, “It is the best of both worlds. Customers get the family-owned home town service they need, along with nationally negotiated prices and the clout of an international organization.” Brent’s Carpet One is located at 24220 Lyons Ave. in Newhall. (661) 255-3337 

Turn Your Yard Into a Vacation-Worthy Oasis Over the last few years, families have become especially familiar with what works about their yards and where there is room for improvement. Pandemic-related travel restrictions and early stay-at-home mandates resulted in plenty of time spent in backyards on staycations. Even though many such restrictions have been lifted, homeowners may have seen the benefits of having functional respites right outside their doors. A backyard renovation can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $50,000. The American Society of Landscape Architects suggests homeowners budget the cost of a major landscaping project at between 5 and 10% of their home’s value. Large or small, here are ways to make an outdoor oasis at home.

Create Living Privacy

Living in close proximity to neighbors may make privacy harder to come by. Wood or vinyl fences, however effective, may not provide the all-natural look many people desire. Vertical gardening, which trains easy-care vines like English ivy, Clematis or various climbing roses

among those who want minimal pool expenditure or have small spaces to work with. Stock tanks are metal vessels traditionally used as watering holes for livestock. They also can be “adult kiddie pools” when combined with some plumbing. Galvanized steel frames make them sturdy. With floats and other accessories, they can become the perfect oasis.

Provide Outdoor Atmosphere

to grow on trellis or fencing adds greenery and privacy. Hedges and fast-growing shrubs also can be used for natural barriers.

Install a Pool

Pools are the ultimate spots to cool off on hot days. An elaborately shaped inground pool can blend in with the landscape and offer the ultimate hang-out zone. However, above-ground pools also serve the purpose and are more budget-friendly. Stock tank pools are popular

Create a bespoke bistro vibe by using freestanding planters and posts along with hanging lights to make an intimate outdoor hangout spot at night. For those with permanent structures, like a deck or a gazebo, lights can be strung across the area or on railings or edging.

Extend the Living Space

Decks and patios can help make outdoor entertaining areas more comfortable by eliminating the need to sit on the grass or gravel. Plus, they add another “room” to the home. When paired with weatherproof patio furniture, such as sofas, loungers and tables, a private seating area can be crafted and utilized for any number of entertaining desires. (MC) 

Complete Pediatric & Adult Eye Examinations GLACOMA, EYE INFECTIONS, RED EYE

Once properly fit, you will be asked to return to have a follow-up visit. At this time the doctor will check your vision with the contact lenses on, evaluate the fit of the lenses and ensure that the lenses are not irritating your eyes. If there needs to be a change, it is made at this time. At Corben Optometry the care of your eyes is our most concern when wearing contact lenses, this is why we have a policy that anytime with in the year you are having difficulties with your contact lenses or your vision, you can call the office and be seen as soon as possible to fix the issue. This is included with your initial contact lens fitting fee. If we need to change the brand or power, whatever lenses you have left, we gladly exchange for the new ones. Even if the boxes are open and they were purchased from the office. Do not allow a company to substitute a different brand or manufacturer than you currently have. While this may be acceptable in some situations, there are differences in the water content and shape between different brands. The correct choice of which lens is right for you should only be made based on examination by your doctor, not over the phone or Internet. 

Do I need an eye exam every time I need more contact lenses? In one simple word, YES. The Doctors and staff at Corben Optometry believe that having an exam will reduce the potential implications of overuse and abuse of contact lens wear. The Doctors look for signs of damage that, if left untreated, may lead to more severe problems. These often have no symptoms early on and you may be totally unaware of them. Contact lenses are often more complex than they appear. Contact lens wear causes many changes to cells and tissues of the eye, and sometimes wearing contact lenses can damage the cornea (the clear window of the eye). Even if you are currently experiencing no problems, the lenses may be causing damage to your eyes. After the initial exam, the doctors will perform a contact lens exam. At this time, they will re-evaluate the fit of your contact lenses and observe if there are changes to the health of your eyes caused by your lenses. They will ensure that you will have a correct, current prescription to help avoid any serious problems, especially if you wear your lenses on an extended or overnight schedule.

Great vision can make all the Difference.

Audiology Associates — Committed to Excellence

The doctors at Audiology Associates are dedicated to assisting adults and children with all of their hearing healthcare needs to improve communication and, ultimately, quality of life. The practice is committed to excellence and highly respected in our community. Audiology Associates has earned the Santa Clarita Valley Signal’s annual “Best of” competition for the past 14 years! In December 2021, Audiology Associates moved their practice to a new location, 25425 Orchard Village Road, Suite 220 in Santa Clarita. It is located at the corner of Orchard Village Road and Wiley Canyon Road, less than one mile away from Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital. “The staff and I are extremely excited about our new location and receive many compliments on our office” beams owner, Dr. Kevin Bolder. Audiology Associates was the first practice to open for business in the brandnew Orchard Medical Center. Audiology Associates provides care for people of all ages, with their primary focus on the provision of technologically advanced hearing aids. Obviously, the majority of people with hearing loss

are older adults and their hearing needs are varied as well. Hearing aid technology is constantly evolving and improving. The experienced Doctors of Audiology at Audiology Associates pride themselves on helping each patient select hearing aids that utilize features most appropriate for their individual needs, while being mindful of their budget. “Not every patient needs the top-of-the-line hearing aids and many of our patient’s express appreciation that we provide individualized recommendations, rather than simply recommending the most expensive product to everyone”, says Dr. Bolder. He adds, “Yes, it is true that hearing aids can be expensive. However, since we are staffed only by Doctors of Audiology in our practice, patients can be assured that their experience with us feels more like a healthcare visit, rather than a high-pressure shopping experience.” In addition to fitting hearing aids, the doctors at Audiology Associates provide other services including comprehensive hearing evaluations, ear wax removal, custom ear molds, custom ear plugs for noise reduction or swimming,

Cochlear implant services are provided by Dr. Bolder’s wife, Fran Bolder, who is also a Doctor

of Audiology. She has extensive experience working with cochlear implant recipients, both adults and children, since 2000.

Surviving Cancer — Healing the Mind, Body and Spirit

Cancer affects us all at some point in our lives, whether personally, through a loved one or acquaintance. That’s because 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women will develop cancer.1 The good news is that a healthy lifestyle can reduce one’s risk for developing certain cancers — and screenings and early detection help save countless lives every year. With prevention, 42% of cancers are avoidable.2 At Kaiser Permanente, cancer care begins with prevention and early detection. Here are tips to help make prevention your best defense: Be proactive Stay up to date with preventive screenings. Tell your doctor about your family health history because some cancers can be hereditary. And pay attention to your body — if something doesn’t look or feel right, have it checked out. Boost immunity with a healthy diet Eating mostly plant-based foods lowers your risk for many types of cancer. A diet rich in fruits and veggies can also help you stay at a healthy weight. Being overweight obese can raise your risk for certain types of cancer. Let go of unhealthy habits Smoking and heavy drinking are well known to raise your risk for cancer — along with other health problems. If you smoke, quit. And if you drink alcohol, limit it to 2 drinks a day for men, and 1 drink a day for women. As one of the largest cancer care providers in the U.S. and a top enroller in clinical trials sponsored by the National Cancer Institute, Kaiser Permanente offers programs to support an individual’s total health — mind, body, and spirit — through all stages of care. Kaiser Permanente member

Victoria Vardanyan is a proud cancer survivor, and her health & wellness journey is a testament to early detection, high-quality care, and a 360-degree approach to recovery. At age 35, Victoria was diagnosed with stage 3 cervical cancer, in what initially started as a preconception checkup with her doctor at Kaiser Permanente in Panorama City. Over the course of 5 years, Victoria completed successful radiation and chemotherapy treatments, and also found encouragement by Kaiser Permanente’s holistic support. She quickly realized she was not alone in her fight against cancer. “The Kaiser Permanente doctors and care teams helped to connect me with healthy living and mental health services, which played a big part in opening a new chapter placing me on a journey to find a sense of who I truly was and what I wanted out of life,” Victoria shared. At Kaiser Permanente, whether someone is newly diagnosed, undergoing treatment, or living cancer-free after treatment, leading experts and teams accompany them every step of the way.

Five Tips to Support Healthy Teeth & Gums From helping you eat to expressing emotion to talking, your teeth play an important role in your everyday life, making it essential that you look after them. With proper care and maintenance, you can keep your teeth happy and healthy for a lifetime. 1. Use Fluoride Toothpaste Fluoride helps to rebuild the weakened enamel at the surface of your teeth and can even help reverse the early stages of tooth decay. Not only does this make your teeth stronger overall, it also helps to prevent cavities and other dental health issues. 2. Floss Regularly Along with removing leftover plaque from between your teeth, flossing also helps to prevent cavities, gum disease — and even bad breath! 36 · 2022 Best Of • A publication of The Signal

Whether you prefer traditional floss, water flossers, or interdental brushes, remember to floss before you brush. 3. Use an Antiseptic Mouthwash Along with giving you fresh breath, using an antiseptic mouthwash as a part of your dental care routine can also help to support your oral hygiene. Using an antiseptic mouthwash can help to loosen plaque and food particles that may have been missed by brushing and flossing your teeth. It also helps to ward off any harmful bacteria that lead to infection. 4. Brush your Tongue Just like your teeth and gums, the surface of your tongue can harbor harmful bacteria without proper maintenance. Brush your tongue back and forth, use a tongue scraper and rinse after cleaning your tongue. 5. See your Dentist Twice a Year Be sure to get a routine. 

Helm Vision Group: Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery By Craig J. Helm, M.D.

As the decades progress, new medical technology emerges that paves the way for increased efficiency, better predictability, and improved safety when it comes to tedious procedures and unique cases. The Ziemer FEMTO LDV Z8 laser is the latest technology that we have introduced to Helm Vision Group. This laser has transformed our LASIK laser vision correction procedures to be completely blade free and assists us with cataract procedures, as well. Our primary, initial reason for acquiring the Ziemer FEMTO LDV Z8 laser was to perform part of the procedure for LASIK laser vision correction, replacing the microkeratome blade. This versatile laser, however, is also capable of performing laserassisted cataract surgery so we

began using it for this purpose. What we have discovered through its use has been surprising! I was surprised to find that cataract surgery was made easier for me as a surgeon. The precision of the lasermade incisions in the cornea and in the lens capsule are amazing. The most important help provided by the laser though, is that it

38 · 2022 Best Of • A publication of The Signal

softens the cataract by lasering it into smaller pieces. That makes it so that it requires less ultrasound energy to remove it. This results in easier surgery and a faster recovery. For some cataracts that are more advanced, femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery truly is a safer procedure. Safety is a priority at Helm

Vision Group. We have a long history of delivering outstanding visual outcomes to our patients. The addition of the Ziemer FEMTO LVD Z8 laser adds to our ability to provide additional measures of safety and precision. At Helm Vision Group we are committed to providing the highest technology available to provide our patients with the best care. Our offerings match what is available at only the finest institutions in the country. f your vision has notably declined and you know that you have cataracts or would like to find out if you have them, call our office at 661-259-3937 to schedule a consultation. There are many causes of blurry vision but there are many cures! We look forward to serving you! 

Yoga

I’m Gracie, and I’m the official dog of Go Dental. I’ve been with the practice for the last 8 months, and my official title is Therapy Dog in residence. It’s been the best job I’ve ever had because, well, I’ve never had another job. My job duties are pretty simple, I walk from room to room in search of a doggie treat. But they are pretty hard to come by these days. One day I could barely get up, and my dad called me F.A.T. I can’t spell, so I don’t know what that stands for, but the treats stopped. It’s ok though because I like getting pets just as much. And all the nice people that come in love to give me pets. I don’t like the person in the brown outfit that carries boxes into our office so I bark at him. But I love everyone else. I just have one bone to pick. Everyone talks about how Go Dental does excellent work. They keep winning awards like Elite Magazines Ultimate Dentist, The Signal’s award for Best Cosmetic Dentist, and have so many 5 star reviews. Everyone here is proud that all their hard work is recognized by the community and their patients. But doing great work is only part of the story. It’s important to be honest and not oversell treatment. It’s important to be compassionate and caring toward every patient that walks through our doors. And it’s important to be gentle and provide the best dental experience. When our patients are happy, then our staff is happy. And when our staff is happy, they give me more treats. And when I have more treats, I’m happy. We hope to see you in our practice soon! 

Dr. Unruh — Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital Launches Girl Talk Freedom From Chronic Pain Women’s Health Series Freedom From Chronic In June, Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital launched Girl Talk, a women’s health series designed to connect women with medical experts at Henry Mayo in a social and informative environment. The first Girl Talk focused on breast health and featured Henry Mayo and University of Southern California breast surgeon Amanda Woodworth, MD, and lead radiologist at the Sheila R. Veloz Breast Center Anajli Date, MD. Community members enjoyed appetizers and beverages while submitting questions to the physicians anonymously. “We’re pleased the first Girl Talk was so successful. Attendees were grateful for the opportunity to get their breast health questions answered in a fun, relaxed environment. We look forward to presenting new Girl Talk events in the coming months.” said Adrienne Thompson, Henry Mayo community events coordinator at Henry Mayo. More than 50 women attended the first Girl Talk event. Some topics discussed included how to efficiently administer self-breast exams, when to begin scheduling annual mammograms, how to screen for breast cancer with implants, and what steps to take if you’re considered high-risk for breast cancer.

Pain

Chronic pain is draining; it affects the performance of not only your body but your mind taking the joy out of life. Chronic pain is often caused by inflammation, stiffening, calcification or strain on muscles or tendons. Shock Wave Therapy is leading the way in pain management. The treatment consists of highintensity sound waves that interact with the tissues of the body. A high-intensity sound wave interacts with the tissue of the body creating beneficial effects such as reversal of chronic inflammation,

the stimulation of collagen and the dissolution of calcium buildup. Stimulation of these biological mechanisms creates an optimal healing environment for your body. As the injured area returns to normalcy, functionality is restored and pain is relieved. Shockwave Therapy treatment is often quick and painless, taking less than 5 minutes. Most patients experience immediate relief of pain following the treatment with only soreness after. Most conditions require only require 6 sessions over a few weeks depending on the patient’s case. Don’t let your life be ruled by pain! Find out if Shockwave Therapy is right for you. For a FREE consultation contact the Unruh Spine Center at (661) 288-0022. 

Heller Plastic Surgery

Dr. Justin Heller, a Valencia-based Board-certified plastic surgeon has been making people in the Santa Clarita Valley feel better about their self-image for years with his surgical skills, was once again honored by the community for his work. Heller was recognized by Santa Clarita Valley residents as the best place for cosmetic surgery once again for 2022, which means a lot for the Yale-trained surgeon who loves calling Santa Clarita his home. Heller runs a family business in Santa Clarita with his wife, Ana, who manages Heller’s office. “It’s tremendously flattering,” Heller said upon learning he was once again recognized by his neighbors for his work. “And it means a lot simply because I continuously work to always make sure that we’re doing better, and bringing the best kind of results to everyone that we can. I go and do house calls on patients, I make sure to see everybody, and that stems from a desire to make sure the patients are comfortable and know that I’m always there for them. To get recognized for all the efforts I do throughout the year is flattering and really nice.” Heller also felt it was a special recognition to him because he cares a lot about his hometown and giving back, which he does through his work with nonprofits like Smile Train, an international charity that provides facial, cleft lip and palate surgery to children in need, or Circle of Hope, which he’s supported by performing reconstructive breast surgeries for cancer survivors. 

Poole & Shaffery —

Strike Two Against California’s Board Diversity Statutes By Chris S. Jacobsen On May 13, 2022, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Maureen Duffy-Lewis rendered a verdict in Crest v. Padilla, Case No. 19STCV27561, that California Corporations Code section 301.3 (also known as SB 826) mandating California-based public companies to add to their boards of directors one to three women directors (depending upon the size of the board) violated the equal protection clause of the state constitution. This verdict was California’s second defeat on statutes addressing diversity on public company

boards of directors, following the April 1, 2022 striking down of Corporations Code section 301.4 (also known as AB 979) which sought to mandate board representation from certain underrepresented communities. SB 826 required each publicly held domestic or foreign corporation whose principal executive offices are located in California to have one female director on its board of directors by the close of the 2019 calendar year and, no later than the close of the 2021 calendar year, a minimum of three female directors if the corporation’s

Wills and Trusts

It’s never too early for adults to think about estate planning. Estate planning is an important part of money management. Estate planning can protect people and their money should accidents or injury make them incapable of managing their finances on their own. Understanding the difference between wills and trusts can help people as they begin estate planning.

What is a trust? A trust is a relationship in which another party is given authority to handle a person’s assets for the benefit of that person’s beneficiaries. When making a trust, a person will need to designate someone as a trustee, who will be tasked with distributing assets in accordance to the terms dictated in the trust. There are many types of trusts, and working with an attorney who specializes in estate planning can help men and women determine which type of trust, if any, is best for them. (MC) 

“comply or explain” board diversity rule, which establishes a “disclosure-based framework” that will require each Nasdaq-listed company (with specified exceptions) to have, or explain why it does not have, at least two diverse board members, including at least one who self-identifies as female and at least one who self-identifies as an underrepresented minority or LGBTQ+. Accordingly, the issue of diversity on boards of directors is far from settled and continuing legal and societal developments should be expected for quite some time. 

What is a will? The online financial resource Investopedia notes that wills are legally enforceable documents that dictate how people want their affairs handled and assets allocated in the wake of their deaths. Wills should include a host of information, including who a person wants to assume guardianship of minor-aged children. This is especially

important information to include in a will, as surviving relatives may have to go to court to contest guardianship if parents do not dictate who they want to serve as guardians in their wills.

board had six or more members, a minimum of two female directors if the corporation’s board had five members, and a minimum of one female director if the corporation’s board had four or fewer members. Violators of the statute were to be subject to fines of $100,000 for the first violation and $300,000 for a second or subsequent violation. In rendering its verdict, the court first noted that, under California law, classifications based on gender have long been considered “suspect” for purposes of equal protection analysis and that a meritorious claim under the equal protection clause must show that the state has adopted a classification that affects two or more “similarly situated” groups in an unequal matter. The court then noted that the plaintiffs had carried their burden to prove that men and women are similarly situated for purposes of SB 826’s gender-based quota. As a result, the burden of proof shifted to the state to provide that SB 826 satisfies strict scrutiny. The state may appeal each of the rulings on SB 826 and AB 979 within 60 days after entry of their respective judgments. In addition, other pressure may come to bear on public companies to diversify their boards of directors. For example, Nasdaq has adopted a

Caring for members of our community and their families for the last 20-plus years has truly been a privilege! Comfort Keepers is the premier provider of in-home care with almost 700 offices across the nation, but locally owned and operated by Myles McNamara. Our goal is to enable seniors to remain safely in the comfort and privacy of their own homes for as long as possible. Often, all that is needed is a helping hand with daily tasks, including but not limited to, meal preparation, medication monitoring, light housekeeping, laundry, transportation (beauty salon, doctors, etc.), grocery shopping, companionship, assistance with bathing/showering, grooming guidance, and recreational activities. We are also instrumental in lowering the stress for family members who are juggling their own busy lives and work schedules around attending to a loved one’s needs. Our service provides peace of mind knowing these needs and daily activities are being taken care of. It will allow quality time to be spent with loved ones, rather than attending to chores. If falling is a concern, just knowing someone is with them can make all the difference. Our Comfort Keepers are specially trained for Alzheimer’s and dementia care. Comfort Keepers prides itself in the quality of our compassionate, bonded and insured caregivers, and our mission to treat our clients like a member of our own family. Although our clients are primarily seniors, our services are available for anyone over the age of 18 experiencing difficulties with daily tasks due to illness or injury.

Debt Problems Stressing You Out?

By Ray J. Bulaon, Attorney Most debt problems don’t go away and solve themselves. They are there when you go to bed at night, and they’re still there when you get up in the morning. They can cause ulcers, sleepless nights, stress, and health problems. I’ve seen the devastating effects on people’s lives, their businesses, their families, and their marriages. Sadly, a lot of these can be avoided with proper planning. Facing serious debt problems causes severe anxiety and fear about the future. What will happen to me and my family? Can they garnish my wages or freeze my bank accounts? Will I have enough to buy food, pay my rent or mortgage, and keep my head above water? The worst thing that you can do when in debt is to pretend that everything is OK- until your situation becomes a financial emergency. Filing for bankruptcy protection IMMEDIATELY stops harassing phone calls, collection letters, lawsuits, wage garnishments, foreclosure, etc., giving you room to breathe easier. There are 2 types of bankruptcy for individuals, Chapter 7, which wipes out debts you can no longer pay, and Chapter 13, reduces your debt into one affordable monthly payment. If you need to get out of debt and don’t know what to do, bankruptcy may be just what you need to start over ASAP. Ray J. Bulaon is a debt relief attorney who has helped more than 6,000 clients.

Fast Frame — the Best Custom Framing Store A big THANK YOU to all our loyal customers and friends for voting FASTFRAME the Best Custom Framing store in the SCV. We are especially grateful for the support of our customers this past year and a half given the pandemic. We have lived in Santa Clarita for over 27 years and are thankful to be part of such a wonderful community. We opened our FASTFRAME store over 12 years ago and have been blessed. Our customers are our friends and neighbors and we pride ourselves on our personalized service. At FASTFRAME, we frame everything including prints, fine art, mirrors, jerseys, needle points and more. For flags and three-dimensional items, we build shadow boxes to hold these treasures. “You name it, we frame it!”

We are often asked what is the most unusual thing we’ve ever framed. That’s always difficult to answer because we’ve framed so many memorable things. One item that comes to mind is the Olympic torch carried by Muhammed Ali. However, we’ve also framed violins and various guitars. The most recent being a signed Eagles guitar. One of the things we enjoy most about what we do is that we help people preserve memories. We understand the importance of family heirlooms and photographs. All of our framing is done with conservation and preservation in mind. Given the amount of time we have all had to spend at home recently, it’s a perfect opportunity to brighten up your tired décor with custom framing.

Stop by FASTFRAME and talk to us about design ideas. And don’t forget gifts for the holidays. We would love to help you design something for the special people

in your life. We look forward to serving the community for years to come and hope to see your smiling face soon! 

Get that vehicle Dapper at Dapper Dan’s … “If you haven’t tried Dapper Dan’s Car Wash on Magic Mountain Parkway, you’re one of only a handful left in the Santa Clarita Valley who haven’t. This place is hopping every time we’ve gone by. Now normally, I would not suggest going to a place that is always busy, but these guys have their system down pat. You’re in and out in about five to 10 minutes and you get to stay in your vehicle the whole time. “No need to empty out your

vehicle or wrangle the kiddos around the parking lot. Just zip through the fully automated wash, pull under the covered vacuum area, grab one of the hoses and quickly vacuum out your vehicle. No setup or tear-down needed, and the vehicles dry spotfree thanks to the special rinse they use.Starting at $8 for a basic wash, it’s really hard to justify standing out in the heat to do it yourself. Dapper Dan’s was just voted the Best Car Wash in Santa Clarita! Do yourself a favor and swing by to see why.” 

Support Small Business Small businesses long have been the heart and soul of local communities. There is something to be said about being on a first-name basis with a local restaurateur or another small business owner, as such familiarity often translates into exemplary service. Consumers who want to help their favorite small businesses survive can make a concerted effort to fuel this important cog in their local economic engines. Shop local The concept is simple but effective. Opting to shop in local stores over larger conglomerates and franchises can help small businesses take root. Plus, changes are the items you buy local will be one-of-a-kind. Purchase gift cards/certificates Gift cards may bring new customers into local businesses who might otherwise not have patronized them, potentially creating new repeat customers. Cater holiday meals and gatherings The holiday season is chock-full of entertainment opportunities. Individuals can rely on nearby restaurants and other food and beverage businesses to cater holiday parties. Mention small businesses on social media The holiday season breeds excitement. Therefore, when shoppers are in local stores, they can snap pictures of products and overflowing shopping bags and post them online while praising local businesses. (MC)  July 30, 2022

The numbers don’t lie. Locally owned businesses may be classified as “small,” but they have a big impact on the national economy. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Business Employment Dynamics report, small businesses created 10.5 million net new jobs between 2000 and 2019, accounting for 65.1% of net new jobs created since 2000 in the United States. Supporting locally owned businesses is a great way to support a neighbor, but that’s not the only attraction. Here are several reasons to shop small. The feel-Good Factor Doing for others certainly has an impact on the person on the receiving end, but also benefits the do-gooders. A November 2020 survey by Union Bank found that 72% of Americans said supporting

small businesses was more important than getting the best deals. That may be due to the feeling of helping out a fellow neighbor. Create Job Opportunities Shopping at small businesses keeps those establishments afloat, and it also keeps their employees afloat. Small businesses are the largest employers in the United States. A person may never know when he or she — or a relative — will need a job. Keeping small businesses viable provides a strong job market for locals. Keep Money in the Community The Small Business Administration says $48 out of every $100 spent at a small business stays in the community. Spend the same $100 at a national retailer and only $14 stays. (MC) 
