From The Desk Of...The CEOWith the change to Daylight Saving Time it makes me crave the warmer weather. Even though the calendar says it’s spring, March has the most rainfall in Northern California than any other month of the year, but we can still get ready for the warmer weather starting with shopping at the local farmers’ markets. Not only do our local farms make eating healthy and easy and inexpensive, it’s a great excuse to get outside, even if it’s raining!

Buying local food keeps our dollars circulating in our community and is fresher and tastes better. Local farmers can offer food produced for taste, rather than for shipping and long shelf life. It’s better for the environment, because local food doesn’t have far to travel, reducing carbon dioxide emissions and packing materials.

At our produce stands and farmers’ markets, you’ll find everything from almonds, walnuts & pistachios to plums, persimmons & pears. Enjoy an outing to a local farm for U-Pick cherries, apricots, peaches or berries. Just-picked tomatoes, onions and peppers make for a flavorful salsa. Any meal tastes better with fresh vegetables, like green beans, peas or cucumbers. You’ll even find items such as honey, oils & vinegars, homemade pies and wines.

Find information on many local farms at www.harvest4you.com. Visit

the Brentwood Farmers’ Market on Saturdays from 8am-12pm, from March 30th until November 16th. It will be held on First Street, between Chestnut and Oak. Or visit Kaiser Antioch’s Farmers’ Market at 4501 Sandcreek Road on Thursdays from 10am-2pm, from May 2nd until October 31st.

You are what you eat, so eat healthy everyday!

Sincerely,Sonya North - CEO

Fairview Heating & Air Conditioning Inc.April 2013

Fairview Heating & Air ConditioningFairview Heating and Air Conditioning is a local, family-owned company in business for more than 23 years. Owners, Robert & Barbara Conner have lived in and watched Contra Costa County grow for over 40 years. Robert has been an Air Conditioning and Heating craftsman since graduating from junior college where he studied HVACR design and service. After working for other companies as a superintendent, he found himself looking for a new challenge. When he heard that the original owner of Fairview was retiring, he decided to purchase the company.

They are a full service HVAC company that specializes in high efficiency residential and commercial furnace and air conditioner replacements and repairs. They want to be the number one recognized HVAC company in the area and work toward accomplishing that goal every day by doing jobs completely, with 100% customer satisfaction. Since their business is highly referral based, they treat all projects with the utmost respect, assuring the on time, on budget and

unmatched quality their customers have come to expect.

All technicians and lead installers are both NATE certified and factory trained and have gone through a rigorous 2-year union apprenticeship-training program, so they bring experience and quality of workmanship to every job. In addition, Fairview is a C-3 certified HVAC company with NATE. Robert is also a BPI certified Building Analyst Professional and they belong to SMACNA and follow their certified installation procedures. With the experience to provide nearly any type of heating and air conditioning service that a customer requires, Fairview Heating and Air Conditioning services and repairs all brands of residential and commercial air conditioners and furnaces. They’ll give you up-front pricing for all repairs and replacements and what you’re quoted is what you’ll pay.

So, whether you’re looking to improve the comfort of your home, increase energy savings, improve indoor air quality, repair your existing comfort system or for regular maintenance, Fairview Heating & Air Conditioning can handle it. Offering professional, honest service and repair at an affordable price is what has kept Fairview Heating and Air Conditioning in business for more than 23 years. “Large enough to serve you, Small enough to know you,” is Robert & Barbara Conner’s motto.

Testimonials

“I chose Fairview to replace our system because they had the best communication, and most thorough bid” J. Stewart, Antioch

We were helped by a thoroughly professional technician, Robert, who personally assisted us in a dispute we were having with our home warranty company FOR FREE! Although I would not expect he can do this all the time, I thought it was outstanding that he took the time to work with the electrician that had claimed the heating unit (from Fairview) was improperly installed (it turned out not to be the case). We had been days without heat in the middle of winter and Robert took time out of his busy schedule and help us for no charge. Wow. Robert and Fairview will have all my business in the future. Will R., Brentwood

“I have nothing but good things to say about you guys” C. Gosset, Antioch

“This was not a smooth as silk installation, that was not a shock. What did surprise and obviously please me was how promptly and hard the techs worked to get the problems resolved. Robert and Marco did a great job” C. Danforth, Antioch

Fairview Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. can be contacted at 925-625-4963 or visit them at www.fairviewair.com.

TRAVEL TIME

This Month We Present To You The World Tour With Celebrity Cruises.“Celebrity’s World Tour 2014-15,” the cruise brand’s introduction of guest-inspired, destination-rich, modern luxury vacations to all seven continents of the world, will make a major appearance in Europe. Celebrity’s 2014 Europe itineraries will offer vacationers an unprecedented range of itinerary lengths from seven to 28 nights in compelling destinations.

New seven-night sailings combinable in an up-to-28-night vacation offer shorter trips to Europe’s must-see cities or longer stays for those who want to explore more. Celebrity is expanding its Europe lineup in 2014 to offer a series of 7-night cruises that can be taken alone or enjoyed back-to-back as 14-, 21- or 28-night cruises with all new ports on each leg.

New ports and more overnight stays to make Celebrity’s 2014 Europe season richer and more immersive Calling at 102 ports in 30 countries during the 2014 Europe season, Celebrity will visit 13 ports that it hasn’t visited recently, and five ports that it has never before visited. These five include Zadar, Porto Torres (Sardinia); Almeria, Spain; Sochi, Russia; and Lerwick/Shetland, Scotland.

Celebrity will overnight in 16 different ports across its Europe season in 2014.

Exclusive in-port experiences can create bespoke vacations. Celebrity’s World Tour 2014-15 also includes a collection of elite land-based adventures available nowhere else. Named “Celebrity Exclusives,” the collection will feature personalized experiences for individuals or small parties no larger than 15 guests.

To further enhance guests’ destination experience, every Celebrity ship in 2014 will offer the services of a Destination Concierge, whose in-depth knowledge of the ports of call on every itinerary will allow the expert to guide Celebrity’s guests through every aspect of their adventures on land, including

Celebrity Exclusives, or to create special excursions tailored precisely for individual guest preferences.

Celebrity Cruises’ iconic “X” is the mark of modern luxury, with its cool, contemporary design and warm spaces; dining experiences where the design of the venues is as important as the cuisine; and the amazing service that only Celebrity can provide, all created to provide an unmatchable experience for vacationers’ precious time. Celebrity Cruises’ 11 ships offer modern luxury vacations visiting all seven continents.

In addition Celebrity in 2014 will have 2 sailings into and out of San Francisco for the Alaskan market in late August and early September and these have just been announced.

You can obtain information from us on any Celebrity cruise by calling us and we’ll be only too happy to help you GETAWAY FROM YOUR EVERYDAY.

This exceptional venue is an oasis set in a rural town. Off the beaten path, it is something both different and enchanting. Owners Bob & Karen Wiemholt were inspired to open this business because, as they landscaped their property, many people kept telling them it was so beautiful that they should have weddings and events there. In business for eight years, Brownstone Gardens has held more than three hundred events. They have a great team that works together to make customer’s events the best they can be.

Although they specialize in weddings & receptions, they also host anniversaries, baby showers, birthdays, quinceaneras, bar mitzvahs, bat mitzvahs, and all types of parties and meetings. In addition, Brownstone Gardens offers professional staff to provide a worry free event.

You can schedule a tour to view Brownstone Gardens and they are also happy to answer questions via phone or email. The advantages of having your event at Brownstone Gardens are many. They are local, affordable (with many different options to fit many different budgets) and everything can be done in one place. They are also conveniently located and easy to find, just five miles off the highway on Brownstone Road, just outside downtown Oakley.

Brownstone Gardens has been awarded Best of Wedding Wire’s Brides Choice awards in 2009, 2010, 2011 & 2012. It’s easy to see why, with five catering choices, three DJ’s, three photographers, two bakeries, two florists, two officiates, a photo booth, plus coordinating options, they can make your event as easy and beautiful as you want it to be! Planning a big party or wedding does not need to be stressful if you put your venue choice to work for you. Brownstone Gardens will be there for you on your big day!

H Who’s Who...in East County

Want to learn to be playful again and find joy in learning and maintaining a strong, supple body? Now is a great time to visit Brentwood’s Red Door Dance Studio, where they offer a wide variety of dance, dance-fitness and fitness classes and workshops for adults, teens and children. Specifically, they offer classes in Belly Dance (Middle Eastern Dance) for all ages, Jazz for adults and Barre Blast with Kellie Temby, Zumba with Karina, Ballroom, Latin and Swing classes with Cozette Hileman, Club Cardio (a non-stop fitness class with club dancing), Sassy Pants (a workout with belly dance moves), Cage Fitness, and Dark Fusion Belly Dance.

Red Door Dance Studio dedicates itself to creating a multicultural dance studio with a warm, inviting and supportive atmosphere, which is based on satisfying and educating their customers. But, customer service is only part of the goal--they want customer elation, so they strive to make every class a quality product with excellent service. You’ll find a forum for people with diverse interests, backgrounds and ages where dance training is provided for students at all levels of dance, from beginner to advanced. Individuals are encouraged to grow, create and explore, forever challenging themselves and to find their own personal means of expression within a safe environment. Practicing RDA (Red Door Attitude), each person who walks in the red doors is welcome and all students are taught from the beginning that they are part of a supportive, friendly and non-competitive community.

In addition, they offer “Girl’s Nite In” for women who want a fun night out, “princess parties” for girls, “Wedding Dance” instruction (private) for couples to “wow” their guests, Quinceanera dance lessons, rental space for small events or rehearsals and rental space for professional dance or music instructors, small meetings, etc. And many classes have a “free first class” offer, so take advantage of that to try them out. They encourage you to call and ask as many questions as you may have, then go in and make a difference in your life. What have you got to lose? Take the first step and walk in those red doors to a warm welcome!

FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH

Vitamin D and Gum DiseaseVitamin D has long been known as essential for bone health and it also affects other organ systems like the immune and cardiovascular systems, muscles and the brain. It has been reported that approximately 1 billion people worldwide are either vitamin D deficient or insufficient. Sources of vitamin D come from sun exposure and food. Different factors such as skin color (amount of melanin), age, fat content and living in areas where the exposure to sun is minimal affect how much vitamin D the body makes and requires. Mild deficiency of vitamin D causes symptoms such as loss of appetite, diarrhea, insomnia, and muscle weakness. Rickets is another well-known disease due to vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency is also associated with other diseases such as periodontitis, fractures from falls, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.

Diagnosing vitamin D deficiency is accomplished by measuring the serum levels. Treatment of Vitamin D comes from exposure to sunlight, artificial ultraviolet B or taking supplements and each have their own drawbacks. With both sunlight and artificial UVB, patients should know that exposure will age the skin and increase the risk of non-melanoma skin cancers. Treatment with oral supplements is difficult because high doses are required to get adequate serum levels and this, again, depends on the amount of sunlight exposure, body fat, age and skin color.

Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects approximately 35% of US adults over the age of thirty. Several studies have been undertaken and have found lower levels of Vitamin D is associated with bone loss around teeth and receding gums and inflammation of the gums. Recently, a study found that periodontal disease is more common in women with osteoporosis and is associated with lower vitamin D levels in the body. Periodontal disease is a multifactorial disease initiated by bacterial infection leading to bone loss around the teeth. Vitamin D plays an important role in

calcium and bone homeostasis, as well as immune function. Vitamin D deficiency and calcium deficiencies leads to bone loss and increased inflammation, making patients more susceptible to periodontal disease. Vitamin D, although classically thought of as a bone hormone, plays a role in other parts of the body too. It is a predictor for bone health and also a potential independent predictor of the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases. So, if you have gum disease or not, it is important to get your teeth checked by the dentist to determine the risk factors and to get treated or, even better, prevent you from getting periodontitis.

WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?

Winning Your Smile, 5 Days a Week!Well, we just sprung forward on our clocks to a beautiful day in the farmlands of blue sky and a temperature high of 80 degrees. Off to the west is a clear picture of our famous Mt. Diablo nestled in beautiful emerald green from the surrounding hills and the streets are lined with trees full of white and pink blossoms. You can hear the birds singing, even inside your car. What a perfect time to check in with our local dentist to bring a perfect smile to everyone’s face this spring.

Hercules Dental Care in Brentwood is located at 3120 Balfour Road in the Safeway Shopping Center. On assignment, I often find it difficult to not reveal my identity, so I just casually popped in and asked a few questions. I was greeted immediately and was amazed at the services offered by their team of professionals. Included in their general and cosmetic dentistry, they offer Invisalign Braces, Sealants & Fluoride, Teeth

Whitening, Tooth Colored Fillings, Root Canal Therapy, Periodontal Treatments, Extractions, Crowns & Bridges, Porcelain Veneers and Dental Implants. And you can even get your teeth cleaned!Their belief is that preventative care and education are the key to optimal dental health. They strive to provide “dental health care” vs. “disease care”. Now that counts ten points in my book, as I have had a root canal and some gum surgery, both of which I am told could have been prevented had I visited the dentist as often as they recommended. That being said, I am sure I am not alone when I say, I would rather do anything but go to the dentist. So, my dear readers, put down this Grapevine and call 634-4040 so they can tell you about keeping your teeth in good health.

I asked about getting that “Hollywood smile” you see on TV and they told me about the many procedures they offer, including changing all your fillings to white. Not to give away my age, but this was not an option when I was young, so I was really interested in this procedure. I almost felt like I was on a shopping spree to create the perfect smile. Somehow, the thought of drilling and deep cleaning didn’t seem so bad when you could have such a wonderful result.

Hercules Dental Care in Brentwood is located at 3120 Balfour Road, SUite D in Brentwood. They can be contacted at 925-634-4040 or visit www.HDCBrentwood.com

I left the office and went home and researched them at www.HDCBrentwood.com to find out more about their cosmetic dentistry options. They have informative videos to watch from just brushing your teeth properly to implants. Now that is COOL! You can see what the doctor sees when he or she is working on your mouth. I actually watched all the videos and learned a great deal about today’s dentistry.

They have all kinds of payment options and in their ad in the Grapevine or on their website, you can take advantage of lots of specials. I really liked the lifetime whitening offer and the $91.00 exam with full mouth x-rays. With that kind of savings, everyone should at least find out what kind of shape your teeth are in before you hear the words, “root canal”. And they speak English, French, Visayan, Tagalog, Chinese and Spanish.

So HDCB, this snoop gives you five big smiley faces for all the beautiful smiles you bring to East County. Who will be snooped next? It could be you!

and apply pressure in the direction you want it to bend. Each knuckle will have to be re-formed separately. Modern hinges are lightweight and relatively easy to bend, so a lot of pressure shouldn’t be necessary.

Older hinges are typically more rigid and may have to be removed, placed in a vice and then re-formed. When closing the gap between the door and the frame, be careful not to over-bend the hinge. Doing so may bring the door too close to the frame and make the door difficult to close. The same technique can be used when the knob side of the door is rubbing the frame. When adjusting for this problem, remember to bend the hinge(s) so that you don’t cause the door to rub at the top.

And, that’s all there is to it. For more home improvement tips and information visit our web site at www.onthehouse.com.

ON THE HOUSE

What To Do When Doors Rub When a door starts rubbing lightly against the frame it means that the two have moved out of alignment with each other. This is a minor problem that usually can be repaired without chiseling, planing, sawing or painting. All that’s needed is a small hammer and a nail punch to remove and replace the hinge pins and a six-inch crescent wrench to bend the hinge. We call this re-forming.

Best of all, you can leave the door in place in the opening while you make the adjustment.

Remember: the fix we recommend here is for minor adjustments of up to about an eighth of an inch. A house that has settled to the point where the door will close only halfway is a different story and another column.

First, let’s consider a door that’s rubbing at the top on the knob side. Simple geometry allows us three alternatives to make the repair. All you need to do is to use one of the following techniques to increase the distance between the door and frame at the top: 1) move the bottom of the door closer to the frame at the hinge side. 2) move the top of the door away from the frame at the hinge side. 3) a combination of 1 and 2.

The method you select will depend on the amount of space that you have to work with between the door and the frame at both the hinge and knob sides. Once a method has been selected, the next step will be to close the door and pop the hinge pin from the hinge you have decided to adjust. To move the door closer to the frame, knuckles on the hinge on the frame will have to be bent toward the frame. Either that or the hinge on the door must be bent away from the frame. Doing the reverse to either hinge will move the door away from the frame.

Here’s how: Clamp the crescent wrench tightly onto one knuckle of the hinge

REALTOR IN MOTION

How to Prepare your Home for a SaleIt has arrived. You’ve come to the point where moving from your home needs to happen, and it’s time to begin the process. The first step, and I believe the most helpful, is to say goodbye to every room of your home and envision turning your keys over to the next homeowner. Recognize that your home is now a product that must be sold from off the shelf. Once you’ve made this step, you gain the momentum you need to do everything that has to follow.

Start at the curb. Your home’s first impression is very important. Trim your bushes and edges, water and mow the lawn, clear the sidewalks and plant new flowers (yellow is good). Group your potted plants if you have them. Have concrete or walk stains removed and pressure-washed. If there are cracks it’s best to have them fixed. All the windows should be washed inside and out.

Understand, if you impress them before they get inside, you’re off to a great start.

This is important: if you wish to take window coverings, a chandelier, built in appliances or fixtures, remove and replace them now. If Buyers don’t see them, they won’t insist on having them. With that done, it’s time to unclutter the home with any personal items. This means removing all photos, books, refrigerator magnet collections, as well as clearing off all counter tops and flat surfaces so that the next homeowner can visualize their family living there.

Clean is better, so hiring a professional service to come in and thoroughly clean can be very helpful. Buyers will be nosy, they will open closets, cupboards, and drawers, so organization will help. As for your stuff, it’s best to move belongings to a storage unit. I suggest this because I want to encourage you to remove excess furniture as well. If you don’t use storage, move items to the garage to add more open living space inside. Visual damage to carpets, walls, doors, flooring, or other obvious places should be repaired. Always replace all bad light bulbs, fix leaky faucets, add new rugs where needed, and wax your floors to make them more appealing. If you have

new towels, now is the time to put them out. If you have pink or purple rooms in your home, consider painting them to a neutral color. Yes, they’ll remember the house with the red bathroom, but that’s not what you want.

As your REALTOR®, I can refer professionals and advise you on all the aspects of preparing your home for sale. Sellers want timely quality offers that generate the best terms the market can deliver, and a carefully prepared home will always help maximize those efforts.

“Simply the best, most


A little known fact about tile flooring is that, during the Roman Empire, their master architects designed and engineered a heated natural stone flooring system, warming homes from below. These were the first below surface radiant heating systems. This process made use of large tiles, propped up on joists, so that a gap was created beneath the surface of the floor. A furnace would then be placed at one end of this gap and lit, while a vent would be placed at the other end. This would draw heat continuously across the bottom of the floor.

What does flooring have to do with architecture? Everything. The folks over at Fine Floor Fashions in Pittsburg know flooring and floor coverings. As leading and preeminent experts in the floor covering industry, Fine Floor Fashions offers up, not only the best looking and affordable flooring available, but also, unmatched expertise in what is going to best suit your needs in form and function.

With over 25 years experience in the flooring industry, Fine Floor Fashions customers know that good flooring is not a simple matter of affordability, but an understanding of what works in a given situation, and if it works for your needs and wants. Their motto of “Flooring As Unique As You Are” is a truism that makes them the people to go to if you are looking for not just any flooring, but the right flooring.

Having just opened a new location in Pittsburg, Fine Floor Fashions is offering huge savings on most all of their flooring stock and you, as a customer, will leave with the satisfaction of knowing that for all your flooring needs…they have you covered.

Aqua MagicPool and Spa



Since 1993, Aqua Magic Pool and Spa has been considered one of the most innovative swimming pool companies in Northern CA. President, Steve Demar, has been designing and building quality pools and landscaping for over 15 years in East Contra Costa County. His passion for design and construction shines through, as evidenced by many satisfied homeowners.

Aqua Magic Pool & Spa is well known for their unique designs and inspiring concepts. Their staff has over 50 years of swimming pool and landscape construction background and have won many awards for their designs. They know it is important to consider the entire “vision” for the backyard, beyond the pool, so each custom pool design is carefully crafted to meet the homeowner’s individual aesthetic and budget requirements. They provide a wide range of services and construction, including pools, spas, water features, waterfalls, hardscape, pavers, concrete, arbors, fire pits, fireplaces, BBQ’s, complete landscaping and much more.

Homeowners are delighted with the energy cost savings an Aqua Magic Pool provides. “Unlike traditional residential pool builders, we have taken our expertise from our commercial pool construction and carried that over to residential pools, allowing us to significantly reduce the cost of pool ownership month to month, year in and year out. We are committed to providing the most energy efficient pools through our knowledge of hydraulics. And we pride ourselves on listening to our customers and then exceeding their expectations. We believe in quality over quantity, allowing us to provide a more personalized service,” says Steve Demar.With the addition of Jose Gomez and George Esquivel, both long time residents of Brentwood, Aqua Magic now offers outstanding sales, design and landscape expertise, from 2D drawings to Computer Aided Colored Design. Let Aqua Magic Pool and Spa make your backyard dreams become a reality.
