A Capitol ReceptionThe Second Annual Russian-Speaking Community Capitol Reception

On January 25th true American values were manifested as the State Capitol opens its doors to the leading advocates of Russian-American Affairs. For the second time in history of California Key Elected Officials and local leaders name and acknowledge those individuals who contribute the most to a successful assembly of Russian and American communities. This venue was possible with the support of the California State Senate and Assembly members as well as honored sponsors. Special thanks to

Assembly member Jeff Miller, Deputy Council of Russian Federation, Khalit Aysin; Founder & Chair of APAPA, CC Yin; Executive Director of Slavic Community Center of Sacramento, Florin Ciuriuc; and other community leaders who helped put together this important event. This reception is the Russian–speaking community’s way to say Thank You for opening your hearts and minds to our Russian-speaking residents. “We are honored to be your friends, neighbors, business and professional

partners,” said Sergey Ivannikov, Founder & CEO of Russian American Media, Inc. “I have a wonderful time when I get to meet people from different ethnic organizations. I’m a mix from my ancestors (part Yugoslavian [Slovenian] 50%, part French 25%, part English, and maybe others 25%). It’s so great to talk to, and listen to people that have come here from other countries. They share how proud they are to be American.

They share how they work hard to do well in this country. We can all find good in working and playing together for a greater America. Support your Small Businesses. We share photos of happy grateful people.” Gary Stalick There are many more photos in our ONE Community eNewspaper.

Napoleon Dynamite Napoleon is an adorable, seven years old, ten pound black black poodle; his full name is Napoleon Dynamite. He has the energy of a stick of Dynamite and he lives up to his name. Carol Ryan, Gold River resident and local author is the owner of Napoleon. Carol tells us that Napoleon keeps her company and seems to know when she is not feeling her best. At those times he stays close to to her, he rides on her lap in the wheelchair around the house. Carol has an illness called primary progressive multiple sclerosis. In her case she has become increasing disabled since Napoleon came into her life in 2005. He seems to understand and always accepts Carol as she is. Carol Ryan, a local Gold River author, has recently written, Right Now Is Perfect, a book of Romance, an Adventure and the Unexpected Thereafter. Carol spends a lot of time writing on her computer. After a few hours, Napoleon will come to her carrying a toy to let her know it’s “play time.”

Poodles are known for their superior intelligence and exceptional learning ability. Poodles also posses wonderful swimming ability; the coat is adapted to water and will cord if left to grow naturally. The Poodle can adapt to nearly any size living quarters. His hypoallergenic coat can reduce allergic reactions but requires professional grooming. Napoleon loves to run off-leach near a lake. He runs as fast as he can into the water, up to his doggy elbows, to scare Ducks and Geese, takes a few tastes of water, then he runs back to Carol. He jumps into her lap depositing sand and water all over her.

To witness such pure joy is worth it to Carol.

Napoleon is my best friend and companion...Carol Ryan

Out with the Bad, in with the ….Bad….

Outgoing Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger outraged friends and family members of Luis Santos, a 22-year-old business student who was stabbed to death in 2008, by reducing the sentence of Esteban Nunez who happens to be the son of the former Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez from 16 years down to 7. According to court testimony, the younger Nunez told a co-defendant that he would “take the rap” for whatever happened and that “hopefully his dad would take care of it and could get them off on self-defense”. We all know that Governors and Presidents provide pardons and clemency in a number of instances that are usually politically motivated in some form/fashion but this was a murder case. He has basically told that young man’s family that their son’s life was not as important as that of the son of a political crony.

In-coming Governor Jerry Brown made one of his first appointments of his new term, naming Bill Honig to the CA State Board of Education. Mr. Honig was removed from office in the early 90’s after being convicted for funneling state education money to an organization his wife ran out of their home. The charges were later reduced to misdemeanors but I don’t see how that matters. How do you justify having a man appointed to one of the top education boards in the state who was convicted of a felony while working on this board before? What next, can we expect the former city officials of the Bell, CA scandal to be appointed to the Ethics Board? Governor Brown had a chance to make solid political appointments to get the state moving forward but fell flat on his face.

It’s as if Arnold never left….

How to Run Your Business During a Recession/Depression

How does our current recession (or, more likely, soft depression) compare with the Great Depression? For an excellent account of the United States’ last go-round with economic collapse, I’d highly recommend The Great Depression: A Diary by Benjamin Roth.

Roth is a Youngstown, Ohio, based attorney who details a compelling play-by-play of the Depression, spanning from 1931 to 1941. A highly intelligent and intellectually curious individual, Roth not only provides us with a look at what life was actually like during that time, but also attempts to fill in the pieces and anticipate when things will actually get better, based on an extensive amount of economic reading he does concurrently with his experience.

My conclusions and comparisons with today’s depression1. If you compare Roth’s account with today’s conditions, it’d be tough to

conclude that we are heading for another Great Depression. From a general-feel standpoint, the current climate sure seems to rhyme more with Japan’s recent/current soft depression and lost decades.

2. While cash is certainly king, I think cash FLOW is emperor and master of the universe. A lump pile of cash is awesome, no doubt, especially when bargains are to be had. But an investment that can spin regular cash flow back your way, like a business that continues to run and churn during soft economic times, is the best thing you can have. Cash flow is a “great to have” during all conditions, inflationary or deflationary.

3. Don’t get too spun up trying to predict the future. It’s fun, but it’s also often a fruitless venture. Stay lean and stay mean. Don’t saddle yourselves with long term obligations. Stay away from margin and levered bets. In the startup world, we have a term called “lean startup”, which refers to the philosophy of doing just enough to make it to your next milestone—so that wasted effort is minimized. Conserve your effort and resources as best you can, and be prepared to pivot if the situation changes!

“In order to do what really matters to you, you have to, first of all, know what really matters to you.”— Dr. Ed Hallowell: Psychiatrist and author

With the current economy, life has presented us a gift. Though most only see the negativity and problems, there are a few who see the opportunity. The opportunity to align your career with your life’s purpose. The opportunity to invest time in what you love most and become an entrepreneur. The opportunity to refocus your attention on what matters most — your family, your friends, your life. In these trying times, find what matters most.

Helen Keller: Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within. It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy; it is that which we think and feel and do, first for the other fellow and then for ourselves.

“Why Cell-Free Driving?” Distractions are the leading cause of motor vehicle crashes and the number one distraction is cell phones. The use of a cell phone while driving is a very high-risk behavior with a significant impact on society. This is due to the vast number of people engaging in the behavior and the cognitive distraction drivers experience when engaged in cell phone conversations. More than 50 peer-reviewed scientific studies have identified the risks associated with cell phone use while driving.

Drivers who use cell phones are four times more likely to be involved in a crash.

Drivers who do TEXT MESSAGING are eight (8) times more likely to be involved in a crash. No matter how good you think you are at being able to drive and text message another driver doing text messaging may hit you, and your life could be over. Or what if someone text messaging while driving hit and killed a close family member. These accidents are happening every day.

Please stop driving and using the cell phone for talking or TEXT MESSAGING.


Young Entrepreneurs Can Make $$ As Affiliate MarketersAn affiliate marketer is someone who gets paid a

commission to sell a product (usually done virtually or on the internet).One of the best ways to make money with affiliate marketing is by sharing

stories and sharing your ideas of how things worked for you.Sharing your ideas and thoughts can help you make money! Other people

(adults and kids) are looking for information, reviews and opinions of products they are considering buying. Let’s say someone is looking for a really great book to read but they haven’t quite decided.

Now let’s say you have several books you have read and you love them. You can write honest reviews about the books, put them on your blog, website, or facebook page and share them with others. When people come to your blog, site or facebook page they read your reviews.

If they like what you have to say, they may just want to purchase one of the books you recommended. They then click on your unique affiliate link to that book and you earn a commission for that purchase.

Pretty cool – right? You share your ideas and opinions and you make money!

The key to your success with affiliate marketing is to share your thoughts and opinions and give good information. No one wants to read pushy sales pitches. Share your thoughts as if you were sharing with a good friend.

Fashion By Karri Grant

Business is Booming!The 2010 holiday season grossed $13.55 billion dollars in online shopping. We all love browsing our favorite designer sites, love a great deal, love seeing that package waiting for us on the doorstep. But for some many of these purchases were a heart break. Knowing how, where and why to shop online can make this one the best, and fastest growing, fashion experiences. Here are 5 things to consider before committing to the web:

1. Shop for items that are currently in season. This provides the widest selection and best prices. Much of these items are already discounted, and waiting until it reaches clearance can limit the availability.

2. Be specific and use the ’Search’ box to narrow down your possibilities by size, color, and price. Then check it against other online sites to be certain you are getting g the best deal.

3. Read the fine print. Every site has different guidelines and terms. Many sites also have discount days, additional coupons and free shipping based on the amount you order.

4. View the ratings from other people who purchased this item. Nearly all sites have these listed below the item being sold. You are only able to see this item; the ratings may give you information about how the item felt, wore, etc.

5. Purchase with a secure vehicle, like PayPal or credit card. These allow for tracking of the amount charged and follow up with any unauthorized purchases.

Political Observation

Legislators Will Decide Brown’s Budget Proposal, Not Voters

California’s state budget process is a mess and Gov. Jerry Brown has told us he is going to fix it and that it will hurt. In his first week in office, he proposed a budget that would cut social programs deeply, realign some state agencies, and transfer many responsibilities back to local governments. He also proposed that the people vote on whether or not they want to tax themselves for an additional five years.

There is no question that Brown is as eccentric as he is smart and to sell a bag of goods he is creating to fix the state’s budget mess will require more buy-in from state legislators than voters.

Under California’s Constitution, which happens to be one of the three longest in the world, the governor and state legislators are suppose to develop and approve statutes that run government. The public initiative process is reserved for amendments to the Constitution or to revise existing amendments. So, why are voters being asked to approve something we pay legislators to do as a part of their job?

Brown made a political promise during his campaign that he would not increase taxes without voter approval. This was a great strategy to offset the ads Republican challenger Meg Whitman was running, depicting Brown as a tax-and-spend politician. However, in making that promise, he has put himself in a situation where he will need three-quarter votes in both the Assembly and the Senate to send the tax extension proposal to the voters. More than likely, this initiative will be challenged by those who oppose tax increases, arguing the state budget is a statute and not a constitutional amendment. This will send the proposal back to the governor, who can then work with legislators on getting the tax extension without voter approval.

Mighty clever I’d say.

Community Foodie

The Oil of The Olive Modesto, California is not in the neighborhood – to my surprise. I was bred, born and brought up in Northern California and evidently a bit ignorant of my home territory. I thought it was “just down the road a piece”. This is how I ended up on a foggy morning on Hwy 99 to the Sciabica Olive Oil Company. In 2005, my cooking club arranged a class with The Apple Farm located in Philo, California. This is a really foodie place. We were introduced to Sciabica Olive Oil. That is the inspiration for this article and my trip to Modesto. Sciabica Olive Oil Company is all about tradition, excellence, passion and best of all family. It is the Sciabica family that began the company in 1936. Jonathan Sciabica (third generation) explained the process of producing 100% Extra Virgin, Cold-Pressed, Unrefined oil from 100% California olives. His mother, a recently retired teacher, is working in the gift shop. She set up a tasting and shared some of Gemma Sciabica recipes. Jonathan’s great-grandfather began the company and his son, Joseph, carried the company into present day until his recent passing in October 2010 at 95 years. The Sciabicas deliver their own oil, and will only work with stores that will allow them to stock the shelves to assure freshness. The “Oil of the Olive” can be found at Corti Bros. and Nugget Markets. I would not hesitate to take another “short” drive to Modesto to visit Sciabica Olive Oil. Their web site tells of the family history and explains about the oils. This is an easier way to go, but if you get a chance – stop by.

PAY and SIT Private Park Bench GadgetThe Pay and Sit Private Park Bench. Some people don’t mind paying

a few dollars to use a public toilet, so this designer Fabian Brunsing began to think that this same idea may work when applied to park benches. The basic idea of this bench gadget is very simple just insert 50 cents and all the roles of very uncomfortable looking set of spikes will retract providing you with a comfortable place to sit on the bench. With the budget crunch going on here in California and across the country, Park services have been cut back, no doubt this will catch the eye of the Park service who are desperately in need of new revenue sources. Luckily for us this Pay and Sit private park bench has a warning timer to let you know when your time had run out so you can remove your bottom from the bench before the spikes raise. Pay and Sit, a good idea? Maybe, maybe not, one thing for sure you won’t see anybody sleeping on one of these Pay and Sit Benches.

iPad 2 Coming February 9th - RumorIt certainly feels like the iPad 2 is coming in the next few weeks? In the

wake of CES’s massive tablet lovefest, we’ve seen a parade of iPad rumors, all seemingly pointing to the fact that Apple would be unveiling something soon. And besides, Apple’s fairly regular release schedule pointed to a late January event (the first iPad was announced on January 27th of last year).

Here’s another interesting little potential hint. In the second beta of iOS 4.2, a thumbnail seems to actually give away the release date of the new tablet. In the past version, the iOS, the old calendar icon had a big “27” on it--the day in January that the last iPad was released. The new icon, meanwhile, spots a big “9.”

Could Apple be releasing the new iPad on the 9th of February? Seems like a long shot, sure, but in the world of Apple rumors, everything is fair game.

Thanks Eagle Scout Zachary Burgess, Eagle Scout candidate received a Proclamation of Achievement from the Rancho Cordova City Council. To help fulfill his community service requirement for the Eagle Scout badge, Zachary and his project team planted 10 trees in the City Hall grounds area in October. Zachary, a high school junior, planned and coordinated the project which included working with Todd Humphrey, Rancho Cordova’s Facilities Services Manager, and the Sacramento Tree Foundation which donated the trees. “With their help and assistance, I identified specific sites to place trees on the north and west sides of the building to provide shade and a nice place for picnic or lunch breaks for workers at City Hall,” said Zachary. He then supervised a crew of 16 project workers during the tree planting. “The City welcomes the opportunity to support and encourage the young members of our community,” said Humphrey. “They gain a new skill while providing a service for Rancho Cordova.” Zachary will receive his Eagle Scout rank during a Court of Honor on Presidents Day in February.

If You Love Your Children By Azeen Kazemi

Don’t Reward Them with Junk Food

In today’s society, fast food and sugary top buys are now marketed mostly to

children audiences. Therefore our children are more likely to want foods that are processed, full of artificial coloring, and refined sugars. As a result of this growing desire, adults are now offering these unhealthy food choices as a reward. “If you’re good I’ll give you candy or buy you a happy meal,” the responsible adult says to the screaming child. Although we are satisfying their taste buds, we must understand the reward can be detrimental to their health.

In nature, adult mammals are very focused on giving their children the best nutrients. The mother’s milk is the most important part of how the newborn survives. The nutrients give them healthier nervous systems, better immunity, and higher brain function. In nature, as the baby mammal grows, its mother will hunt the best nutrients to feed it. And will also bring the child along to teach them what to hunt for. Food is an important part of survival in the animal Kingdom, especially for young mammals. But as humans we are not as focused on feeding our children the best things, bringing them up on fast food, sugary deserts and sodas, and candy as a mid-day snack. These seem harmless, but food is what gives children energy, helps them grow, and even effects brain function to learn.

Of course we don’t want to hear our children whine and plead about getting just a “little” junk food fix. But using food as a reward, especially when the reward can cause obesity and diabetes is only harming your child in the long run. A healthy lifestyle is learned, and starts at a very young age. So we must show them how to make the right choices, even when it comes to food. They can only learn to enjoy healthier meals if we provide them with those choices. Once again we can all learn from nature, good nutrition choices are imperative for a child’s early development and will lead to better adult health. So remember, if you love your children, don’t reward them with junk food. Junk food is not a reward.

Within the Mind of a Millionaire

Building RelationshipsBuilding strong relationships is one of the greatest skills you can use both

personally and professionally. The better you are at building bridges to people and relating to them, the more others will listen to you. The way you communicate your thoughts to others using your words as well as your body language and listening skills will determine how people respond to you.

When you first meet someone you make an acquaintance; but when you make an effort to connect with someone by building a rapport with them it can be the beginning of a mutually beneficial relationship.

Most people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. So communication is the key, asking questions and listening. People want to be heard and made to feel valued.

One of the keys to building relationships is to be a good listener. When you are talking to someone you need to give them your full attention, both body and mind. Your eyes give it away when you are looking around and something or someone else is getting your attention. People want to feel important and by giving them your undivided attention will help them feel that they are.

Communication is the key. Ask a question then listen. People want to be heard and valued. But this is not accomplished only by what is said, sometimes your body language speaks louder than your words. Write down how it makes you feel when you are having a conversation with someone and they aren’t really there. Their eyes or mind is somewhere else. How do you feel when you know the person you are having a conversation with is paying attention to you and hearing every word?

Legal Ease

Asset Protection Asset protection means titling your assets in a way that protects them from creditor claims. Most people enjoy “automatic” asset protection of the homestead value of their home (basically $75,000 over and above the amount of secured debt) and their IRA’s and pension plans (private plans are automatically exempt from creditors up to the amount reasonably necessary for the owner’s support in retirement). Rental and investment real estate should generally be owned in a limited liability company, which provides “charging order” protection against a creditor taking control of the property. This is a big advantage over owning the property in an S corporation, whose shares can be executed against just like any other asset. If you are concerned with asset protection, contact a qualified attorney.

Games & Gaming

CityVille Moves To TownThere is a new mayor in the town of casual social gaming. CityVille has

quickly moved into the casual game world and captured it by storm. In case you weren’t paying attention and missed it, CityVille now has 10’s of millions of players. In January 2011 it has tracked 100,000,000 MAU (monthly active users). Its current user base would be larger then most countries. It is produced by a bay area company called Zynga. When CityVille launched it attracted over 200,000 players making it Zynga’s largest launch ever. It is now presently the largest game application on Facebook beating out its cousin Farmville a game also made by Zynga. CityVille is a game that allows Facebook users to become the mayor of a virtual city and oversee its development into a large metropolis. Along the way players can perform all sorts of tasks like farming, construction, and tax collection. They are given energy point to help them along the way. Helpful CityVille residents can go visit other neighbor’s cities and perform work there as well which of course in addition to making the player feel full-filled by being nice it gives them energy points as well. So, if you have ever had a secret burning desire to be the mayor of your town, or be a virtual version of Donald Trump now is the time to draw up some blue prints, grab your hard hat and get busy.

Successful Thinkers By Darren Bocksnick

When Being Relevant Becomes Irrelevant

Technology’s rapid rate of increase has created an Internet-savvy crowd that encompasses nearly every age bracket, profession and social class. With this increase there have arisen boundless possibilities and opportunities for creating wealth and connecting with like-minded individuals. In light of these dynamic changes facing those of us who are confronted with the realities of the new economy, there is a growing demand for relevance in order to maintain a competitive edge.

The term “relevance” gained popularity among technology enthusiasts for its use in discussing Internet search queries and SEO or Search Engine Optimization. When a business is relevant to an Internet search, it means that the business is “search engine friendly” and will have front page dominance when certain key words are input. Front-page dominance in relation to ecommerce or online revenue is everything. When a business is relevant to the searches, they will have preeminence on the front page of major search engines and likewise, procure a good amount of business as a result.

In taking this same concept and making application of our personal lives or our respective businesses we must ask ourselves- are we relevant? Are we relevant when it comes to keeping current with today’s technology trends? Are we relevant in meeting the needs of our clients and keeping up with industry changes that impact their businesses? Are we relevant in educating ourselves so that we are equipped to consult, instruct or make informed decisions that may impact our livelihoods or that of others?

As technology outpaces our ability to keep current, more individuals feel out-of-touch with their world. Staying relevant, in demand and competitive is the only way to compensate for technology’s irreversible pace. One surefire way to do this is through the dynamic tools and resources available through Successful Thinkers. With a growing network of industry-specific experts and a resource of cutting-edge tools, technologies and time-tested techniques available for members to draw from, staying relevant almost becomes irrelevant. Well, almost…

Hot Flash By Cindy Sample

How to Seduce a Woman for $9.99 or less

As Valentine’s Day approaches some of us positively jump with joy. Others avert their eyes from the overwhelming displays of red and pink heart shaped items that abound this time of year. More chocolate is sold on Valentine’s Day than any other day of the year. And as far as I’m concerned, that’s reason enough for a holiday.

My friends refer to me as a chocoholic, a status I wear proudly. Between the anti-oxidants and endorphin lift, I personally think chocolate should become one of the daily required food groups.

I’m also a chocolate purist. In other words, don’t mess with my chocolate. No nuts, no fruit. If you must smother something with chocolate I can tolerate a raisin or two, but as far as I’m concerned, this bean was meant to be savored in its true form. As for those new bacon-flavored chocolate bars, I won’t even lower myself to discuss them. Pork and beans should meet in a pot, not in a candy bar.

Men frequently wonder what to give the special woman in their lives for a Valentine’s Day gift. Flowers are lovely but their beauty and fragrance are short-lived. Diamonds are forever but they are also expensive. Lacy lingerie? Maybe, but honestly, who’s that gift really for?

So what’s the best way to woo this woman? I may as well admit it. I’m easy. Stick a kiss on my lips and a big bow on top of a box of gooey chocolates and I’m yours. Plus every day as I savor a piece of joy from the box you personally chose for me, I’ll also savor your love.

On the other hand, much as I dislike chocolate covered anything, I probably wouldn’t refuse a chocolate- covered diamond.

New Restaurant Opens in the Neighborhood! Joe and Gayle Hensler, former Gold River residents, have opened a contemporary Italian restaurant in the former Chowder House location, just up the street from Gold River, at the corner of Sunset and Hazel, Maranello. Opened New Years Eve, the restaurant is already proving popular. “We were stunned on our first Friday night with over 185!” said Joe Hensler. “The menu, ambiance and the pricing were designed to encourage repeat business and so far, that’s happening, with many people visiting us more than once in just the first 10 days”. The restaurant will soon open a large covered and heated patio with seating for an additional 66 people. The Hensler’s think that the patio will be a real hit with diners. Chef Gabriel Glasier, is the former owner of the acclaimed Red Bud Café’ in Cameron Park. Chef Glasier was also the Chef for another local legendary restaurant, The Slocum House. “Formally trained, Gabe is not only a great Chef but a great guy,” says Hensler. “He has developed a skilled team in a short amount of time. We are getting very positive feedback on our food”.

Gayle and Joe were motivated to open a restaurant in the area as they are nearby residents. “We always wound-up driving to Folsom or Roseville to go out to eat and we knew that there had to be pent –up demand, if a restaurant was done right” Gayle reports. “In addition to great food, we are striving for excellence in service and a nice but relaxed atmosphere.” The final element she says, is good pricing. “We would much rather have a line out the door with good pricing than be sitting here alone with high prices – we have nothing on the menu over $20 and some under $10.”

The restaurant boasts a full and fun bar, with 8 beers on tap, a good glass of house wine for just $4.75 and a 33 item wine list, also with great prices. The wine list was developed by local wine legend, Donal Smith, the wine buyer for Corti Brothers for 27 years. Donal recommended to start with just California and Italian wines but they intend to enlarge the list over time.

If you are looking for that special place to call home, give Maranello a try.

John F. Kennedy had it. Oprah Winfrey has a ton of it. Donald Trump has truckloads of it. (And I’m not talking about money!) It’s the reason why millions of people are drawn to them.

WHAT it is and how YOU can get it ...

They walk into a room ... and all heads turn. They begin to speak ... and captivate everyone around them. They shake your hand ... and instantly gain your respect and trust. What they’ve got, in a word, is CHARISMA — one of the most desirable, enviable qualities in the world. And regardless of your personality or genetics — YOU can have CHARISMA!

1 cup giardiniera (Italian hot vegetable salad), drained1/4 cup salad olives (green olives with pimiento)8 slices good quality crusty white bread, 1/2-inch thick slices8 slices deli cut provolone cheese4 tablespoons softened butter

the salad and olives into a fine relish. Spread 4 slices of bread with relish and top each with 2 slices cheese and 4 more slices of bread. Butter the outside of the sammies with softened butter and grill until golden on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes total. Cut and serve.

Brie en Croute Ingredients:

1 sheet frozen puff pastry (package comes with 2 sheets) 1 tablespoon butter 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts 1 small (8-ounce) wheel Brie 1/2 cup raspberry jam 2 eggs, beaten

Please Read this Free Offer Exclusively for the Customers of GOLD RIVER Community Newspaper Dear Friend, Hi there! My name is Gary Stalick, and I’ve owned Stalick Carpet Cleaning for many years. I’m looking for ways to attract new customers, so I’m offering you the opportunity to have one room of carpet cleaning-up to 125 square feet – cleaned ABSOLUTELY FREE!

I’ll tell you more about this free offer in a moment, but first, here’s some information about carpeting in general and about my company in particular…

I’ve been in the cleaning business for over 30 years, and have hired over 1,000 people in a janitorial company I’ve owned. I’ve been certified though the Institute of Inspaection, Cleaning, and Restoration. I use hot water extraction (Steam Cleaning) from a truck-mounted unit. Why? Because it is the only cleaning unit powerful enough to get rid of the unbelievable stuff that gets into people’s carpets: Bacteria, Fungus, Chemicals, Pollens, Grease, Gravel, Sand, Grime, Soot, Tar, Pet stains. Plus residue from air pollutants, car exhaust, tobacco smoke, and much more! Not to mention, creapy dust mites and critters that live, hide, and breed in carpets. It’s enough to make you sick! In fact, Shaw Industries, the world’s largest carpet manufacturer, recommends hot water extraction exclusively and so do I. So…

Here’s what I propose, And why you can’t lose…

We Will Clean up to 125 Square Feet FREE!

…No cost. Zip. Nada. $0.00. Get the idea? If that’s all you want us to do, we’ll pack up and leave after giving your carpets the best cleaning job you’ve ever seen.
