ASK SHERM What Should I do if I Get Involved in an Auto Accident? By Sherm With more distracted and frustrated drivers on crowded roads and freeways, auto accidents continue to pile up at a staggering rate. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2008, there were over 10.2 million auto accidents in the United States with over 2.3 million people injured and over 39,000 people killed. The financial cost of these crashes was more than $230 billion. At Sherm’s Gold River Auto Repair, we strongly urge everyone to buckle up, obey all traffic laws and drive safe, sober, serene and free of distractions. The best way to handle an auto accident in the future is to be completely prepared today. Here are a few simple tips to help you be prepared in the event that you are involved in an auto accident. #1 Be Prepared Beforehand: Make sure you have the following items with you while driving: Your drivers license, your insurance ID card, your vehicle registration, emergency contacts, medical cards, flashlight, flares, first-aid kit, cell phone, tape recorder and a disposable camera, just to name a few. Better yet, stop by at Sherm’s today for a free auto accident survival kit, which lists everything you need to be prepared for an auto accident. This handy kit is always in your car and it fits neatly in your glove box!
#2 Stay Calm: The scene of an accident can quickly unravel and turn into a very dangerous situation if one or more of the parties involved loses their temper. Whatever happens, stay calm so you can think clearly and create a peaceful and cooperative environment. Do not panic, do not admit fault and cooperate with everyone involved, including the police. #3 Take Safety Measures: Stop your vehicle and move it and everyone involved to a safe nearby location. Check to see if anyone has been injured, call the police and call 911 if you think anyone needs medical assistance. Do not move people who are seriously injured and never leave the scene of the accident. #4 Collect Information: Exchange contact information with everyone involved (including witnesses). Obtain their full name, street address, email address and all phone numbers. Get the year, make and model of the other car involved in the accident along with the license plate number, insurance carrier and insurance policy number. If a police officer is present, get their name, phone number and police report number. #5 Document the Accident: Take photos of the damage to your vehicle, the other vehicles involved and the accident scene.
Use a tape recorder to describe the scene and get statements from everyone involved. Q: Why should I contact Sherm’s Gold River Auto Body before I get into an auto accident? A: Because Sherm’s Gold River Auto Body is a staunch consumer advocate, which means they want you to know all your rights as a consumer. The average person gets into an auto accident once every seven years, so it’s safe to say that most people are not aware of all their rights. After you’ve been in an accident, it can be a horrific moment and you may not be thinking clearly. The professionals at Sherm’s handle these situations on a daily basis and they want all their customers to have access to every piece of information that’s available so they can make the best choices. Stop by today for your free auto accident survival kit and tell them Sherm sent you!

Celebrate Our Freedom! By Bob Cox From the birth of our great nation, American’s have been willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for the opportunity to enjoy a simple but fundamental expression of one basic individual human right: freedom. Freedom is at the core of everything we stand for, commencing with the famous line in The United States Declaration of Independence (July 4, 1776), We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Nearly a century later, a message was delivered by our 16th president in a small town on a crisp autumn day in Pennsylvania: Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. On November 19, 1863 Abraham Lincoln would finish his famous speech on the battleground of Gettysburg by stating: It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
The advancement of freedom continued on when a young African American pastor from Atlanta, Georgia lead The Great March on Washington while addressing a crowd of over 200,000 freedom starved people upon the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. On August 28, 1963 Martin Luther King, Jr. had a dream, which he shared in hopes of uniting a divided nation: I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. As we’re about to celebrate America’s 235th birthday and I soak in those inspiring words of wisdom, tears of gratitude pour from my eyes as I realize the depth of my gratitude for all our nation’s liberating leaders as well as the millions of other anonymous Americans who had the courage to uphold and preserve our democracy. Without their deeds and personal sacrifices, I might not have the freedom to express these feelings with you this morning. Like Dr. King, I too have a dream, which is to motivate and inspire everyone I can to embrace our freedom, to realize our limitless potential, discover and pursue our passions and live life to the fullest. Life is too short to settle for less, so live your dream and not someone else’s. Happy birthday America! Bob Cox is the founder and publisher of Go For It Magazine.

The Facelift’s many possibilities: Is one for you? Have you been considering a facelift to reverse some of those inevitable signs of aging? If so, you should first have a clear idea of exactly what a facelift can do – and what it cannot do. A good understanding of the procedure and honest communications with your surgeon regarding your expectations are important steps that will help make the most of the possibilities for you. Wrinkles in the forehead area, crow’s feet and smile lines, bags under the eyes, and sagging skin in the jowl area are unavoidable as we age. A facelift can help – to a point. But other procedures may need to be done in conjunction with a facelift to achieve the best results. Before deciding what’s best for you, discuss your concerns and desires with your facial plastic surgeon. Listen carefully, take notes and ask lots of questions to be sure you understand what the surgeon is proposing. In a way, the facelift is misnamed: although the incisions for a facelift extend up into the hairline, it does virtually nothing to correct the signs of aging in the upper part of the face. What it does do is provide an overall lift – a fresher, more rested appearance that can take years off your age. It particularly affects the lower third of the face – a facelift can refine the jaw line and eliminate loose skin in the jowl and the neck areas. It will not however, eliminate forehead wrinkles, bags under the eyes or crow’s feet. Problems in some of these other areas often can be treated at the same time the facelift is performed. Wrinkles in the forehead area, fallen
brows for example, may be corrected with a brow or forehead lift. Eyelid surgery can be done to correct overhanging upper lids or bags under the eyes. Liposuction is performed in conjunction with many facelift procedures to remove excess deposits of fat beneath the skin. Chemical peeling or laser skin resurfacing can provide a “finishing touch” after a facelift by eliminating the surface of wrinkles and refining the overall texture of your skin. Your facial plastic surgeon will want to do a thorough evaluation of your facial features, skin quality and the severity of the problem. Then, the two of you should work together to develop an appropriate treatment plan. It is important to remember that such factors as your bone structure, ability to heal, age, physical condition and skin texture can affect your final result. Your facial plastic surgeon has the experience and training to determine what facial plastic surgery can accomplish in your individual case and what procedures are needed to achieve the look you want.

I laughed at the people we described as I got the chance to meet one of the health nuts that were leading the organic leaders in the local health food industry diet movement during the 1960’s and Cynthia Elliott, who is the co-owner of 1970’s. Our favorite target was Euell Elliott’s Natural Foods on El Camino Ave. in Gibbons, who appeared on a television Sacramento.

Euell delivered this memorable Meet the Elliott family: From left to right: Grayson, Cynthia, news as she is now rolling out a brand new line of healthy foods, snacks and treats that quote “Ever eat a pine tree?

A: Walker passed away about 13 years ago at the age of 89, but Georgana is still with us and she is 92. We’ve started the kitchen here, and my husband is becoming more relaxed with our children slowly managing the store. Our daughter, Amber, has been improving the front of the store with creative marketing and bringing in fun new products while our son, Grayson, works in the office and mainly focuses on bookkeeping and paperwork. Q: Did you marry into the family? A: Yes, I married Granger 29 years ago when I swept him off his feet! Q: My wife Diana has met Granger and she said he was a very knowledgeable and super great guy. A: He really is. He has a great understanding of our products and nutritional value with a fun sense of humor.

Getting “IT” in Gear! We are now halfway through the year. Some of us are well into achieving our 2011 resolutions. Others have misplaced that slip of paper and that train of thought and won’t be thinking about them again until January 2012. It’s not too late! Here’s a jumpstart checklist to get back on track: 1) DECIDE what “IT” is... Getting fit? Getting a handle on your personal or business finances? Getting more involved in the community? Spending more time with family and friends? If the list is long, prioritize the list based on What’s in “IT” for me? 2) Be SPECIFIC. Define what fitness, finances, involvement, family time are. How much? How often? By when? 3) Create a PLAN. What steps can you take to achieve your goals? NOTE: Check out the calendar** at www.BobsPocket.com/ Carmichael for local resources and events for ALL of the above. 4) Take ACTION. DO something every day. Allocate at least 15 minutes a day. Doesn’t have to be a lot. Doesn’t have to be for everything. Make a phone call, ask for advice, read a book, search the internet. 5) Check off your RESULTS. Once a month check off your accomplishments. It works even better if you use the “buddy system” for accountability, encouragement, and ideas. Now, just do IT! **Calendar brought to you by:

The Smarter Way to Shop for Flooring Meet Lynn Lawson, the Bargain Floor Hunter By Bob Cox
Q: What is the difference between engineered wood and laminate wood? A: Engineered wood is real wood on top of several pieces of plywood. It usually comes prefinished with an aluminum oxide finish which makes it much harder to scratch. Laminate is actually a piece of wood made with a solid core and a picture of wood with a plastic aluminum oxide coating on the top. They are much like the Formica countertops that are used in the kitchen, except they make it look like wood.
Q: Can engineered flooring be sanded and refinished? A: With most of your prefinished floors, the finishes are baked on and are a lot harder than they used to be. They’re also harder to get off. Most of the styles of engineered wood have a lot of texture to them. There are a lot of hand-scraped floors and a lot of floors with bevels. Sanding them would totally change the look of the wood. They can be re-sanded if the surface of wood on the top layer is thick enough to do so, but with the textured styles, we would probably screen them and recoat them to keep the floor looking the same as it was when it was installed. Q: Are there other flooring options that look like wood? A: Yes, there is laminate, which is wood that has plastic on the top and is installed over a pad and is considered floating floor. There are also several kinds of vinyl planks that can be installed over existing floors without pads or anything else underneath them. You also have the choice of several sheet vinyls’ that look just like wood floors when they are installed. Q: Since laminate has a plastic coating on top, can it get wet without being damaged? A: Yes, it can get wet but with any type of flooring you have, you don’t want a large amount of water sitting on it. If you spill water on laminate, it’s not going to hurt it because it’s plastic. If you spill water on real wood, eventually the finish is going to be affected. The boards can warp too, creating even more problems. On any floor whether it is laminate or wood, you should never leave large amounts of water just sitting
on the surface. Wipe any spills up as soon as you can to prevent issues with the floors. Q: What questions do you typically ask your clients who are shopping for hardwood floors? A: Well one of the first things that I ask is what kind of décor they have in their home. Do they want a hand scraped or smooth look? Do they prefer wide planks or narrow planks? What area of the house are they doing? What color do they want? What are their family dynamics? There are lots of ways to narrow down what someone wants and needs, and knowing a few things ahead of time helps the process go smoothly. I’ve got samples of just about everything, but I like to ask people questions and try and narrow down the field because it’s really overwhelming to the consumer. It’s easy for people to really get overwhelmed with the amount of samples, but I can narrow down the field and prevent my clients from feeling that way by just asking a few questions.

Q: Lynn, can you tell us a little about the different types of hardwood that’s available? A: Basically you have solid wood and engineered wood. Solid is usually 3/4” thick and is a solid piece of wood. Engineered wood is a layer of real wood on top of several layers of plywood and comes in many thicknesses. They both look the same after they are installed. The difference really is the fact that the engineered can be nailed down, glued down or floated on a concrete or wood sub floor. Solid wood should be installed by being nailed down to a wood subfloor, it is not really recommended to glue solid to concrete. Both kinds of floors can be refinished if need be.
They can add more dimension and texture to the top to make it look like real wood.

With all the flooring stores in the greater Sacramento area (73 on Yellowpages.com) how does a buyer make a sensible decision on which store to visit? Do you shop online, go to the store nearest you or ask around for a referral? The traditional way to shop for flooring is to either go to a retail store and view a multitude of options or allow a sales rep to bring the multitudes to you. Both these methods are fine, but they can be quite time consuming and a bit overwhelming. Studies have shown that if the average consumer has more than three options, they often have great difficulty in making a decision. What if there was a better option that could potentially help you avoid hours of frustration hunting for the perfect floor while also potentially saving you hundreds of dollars off your total bill? How sweet would that be? Meet Lynn Lawson, the owner of Ralph Opfer Floors and The Bargain Floor Hunter Extraordinaire. What Lynn does is very simple but extremely invaluable to her clients. She takes her time to really get to know her clients needs, and then she invests her time (not her clients) by searching through her vast arsenal of resources to track down and capture the perfect floor that fits her client’s budget. I spoke to Lynn the other day about the wide variety of flooring that’s available, with one of the most popular options being in the hardwood flooring category. Here’s how our conversation went.
