While we all know that remodelingisn’t rocket science, we havealso either experienced person-ally or heard of projects explod-

ing on the launch pad or soon after takeoff. While this is not completely avoidable,asking the right questions will do morethan anything else to increase the chancesfor your projects success.

Before I get to the “right” questions, here’sa short “Don’t List”:

• Don’t give your hard earned money to acontractor working out of his truck.• Don’t fail to call the references (call them all)• Don’t end up holding less than 25% of the job cost at the end (it’scalled leverage)

The following questions and requests for information are not ex-haustive. They’re just a few that should be included in interviewingcontractors when two conditions exist:

1. The contractor is not already well known by you (and I mean re-ally well known)2. The project is of significant value or complexity (i.e. costing morethan $10,000).

Let’s start with the basics; you will want to ask for:• Contractor’s license number or printout from the Contractor’sState License Board. This will allow you to see the type of work thecontractor is licensed to perform and any complaints filed againsthim with the board, including the result. (i.e. license suspension)• Liability Insurance certificate to cover any damage to your prop-erty caused by the contractor, directly or indirectly.• Workman’s Compensation certificate to protect you in the eventthat a workman is injured on your property.• Better Business Bureau report. This will show complaints againstthe contractor made to the bureau including if and how they wereresolved. Note: Most people won’t go to the trouble of filing a com-plaint with either the BBB or the CSLB. Consequently, if you see

several complaints between the two, rest as-sured it is only the tip of the iceberg and indi-cates a negative pattern.

If the contractor provides the previous infor-mation, and doesn’t have a record of com-plaints, the next request will be forreferences. This is where the wheat is sepa-rated from the chaff and where homeownersoften fail to winnow thoroughly.

Ask the contractor how many jobs, conserv-atively speaking, he completes each month.If he says four, then ask for at least 12 refer-

ences for work completed in the last six to nine months. This is lessthan half the jobs completed in that period of time if his number isaccurate, and is a large enough reference pool to demonstrate apattern of pleasing clients. If he is unwilling or unable to providesuch a list then he either exaggerated the amount of work he doesor he doesn’t consistently satisfy clients. Neither one of these ispositive, though a bit of exaggeration can be forgiven while failureto satisfy clients consistently cannot be overlooked.

Ask that the contractor also include at least one client (two is bet-ter) with whom there was an issue that was satisfactorily resolved.This will indicate how the contractor deals with inevitable problems.

Call all the references and ask:• On a scale of one to ten how would you rate the contractor’s over-all performance?• Would you hire him for other projects?• Were there any negative surprises during the project?• Did the contractor and his workmen communicate with you satis-factorily?• What could the contractor have done to improve you experiencewith him?

These questions should enable you to find a qualified contractorthough perhaps not the cheapest. In another article we will coverquestions and requests for the contractor youhave selected in order to arrive at an agree-able price and clear understanding of what toexpect. Happy Remodeling!

Tnever know where to start. It’s alwayshard to join the flow of the class andmost instructors don’t have the knowhow to accommodate people of all fit-ness levels.

Accommodating: This is exactly whatsets Align Pilates Center in San JuanCapistrano apart.

Pilates is an incredible workout foreveryone, regardless of age or fitnesslevel. Nicole Howard and Cara Fraser,owners of Align Pilates Center wantpeople to know that everyone is wel-come to try their classes and see forthemselves why their method is so in-credible.

“We strive to enhance and enrich thelives of our clients and not just theirbodies through the Pilates method,"says Nicole. "We focus on quality ofmovement rather than the quantity ofexercise. We offer the experience of Pi-lates to develop the mind, body andspirit in a great environment. We alsopride ourselves on our years of educa-tion and our advanced training."

Specializing in private training, semi-private/group training and matclasses, they truly have something foreveryone. They’ve even added newyoga classes and will be offering KidCore Camps this summer!

“Over the last eight years we havebeen fortunate to have worked undera physical therapist as PT aides," saysCara. "This has given us a tremendouslearning experience regarding post re-habilitation in combination with per-sonal training through Pilates. It’s alsowonderful that we all hold degrees indance from CSULB plus a Comprehen-sive Pilates Training with Dance Spe-cialization Certification from BASI andMaster Pilates training from the

Joseph Pilates, the founder ofthe pilates method, was notonly an inventor of movementand equipment, but he also de-veloped a sound philosophybehind his work. His philosophy

is based on ten principles that he appliedto all his pilates session and everyday ac-tivities. These principles are:

Awareness • Breath • BalanceConcentration • Control • Center

Efciency • Flow • Precision • Harmony

These principles are the essence of pi-lates. They set it apart from other forms ofexercise. With the use of these principlesone can truly become “Mind, Body andSpirit” when executing a movement ordaily activities.

The first principle, awareness, means to becognitive of your body and mind in time andspace. One can carry this concept through-out their daily activities, applying it in nu-merous situations. For example, whetherone is simply brushing their teeth, going fora walk, a run, or to the gym, awareness ofhow they execute every movement andmoment can go a long way.

" When I begin to do an exercise, or I amin the middle of my stride during a run, Ilike to take a full mental note of my wholebody. I think about where my head, chest,arms, abdominals, legs, toes and even fin-gertips are. I physically see how andwhere they are in space and take the timeto ask what are these body parts aredoing. Is everything working together, arethey in correct alignment? Is the mind con-nected to what the body is doing? What isthe purpose of these actions? How doesthis action benefit the body or my life? Byasking these kinds of questions is howone can fully become aware and presentin the moment. It is when we get discon-nected and unaware that accidents or un-wanted actions can happen."

Take the time to apply awareness to yournext workout or daily activity. By beingaware of your body and mind in space andtime you will have better successes in youractivity. In addition, you will see how aware-ness can bring an extra quality to your lifeand help you become “Mind, Body, andSpirit” when executing your day. .

Nicole adds that “having had the pleasure of dancing together, training together, and workingtogether for almost 12 years, we have an amazing ability to lean on each other and work asa team. We have also had great education experiences and wonderful teachers."

Nicole and Cara plan on expanding their services to include apprentice programs for aspiringinstructors and more foster/volunteer type programs for youth interested in Pilates.

“We look forward to building our clientele and our staff to have class options for any andall," says Nicole. "We also look forward to growing as a place for apprentice/student teachersto grow and learn. Fostering students in the past few years has proven to be very rewardingfor our clients and us. We offer a place for student teachers to practice, observe, and learnin a non competitive environment."

By attention to detail and animmense knowledge of thebody, team Align focuses onbringing your body, mind andspirit into alignment throughquality pilates. Pilates is aform of movement developedto simultaneously strengthen,stretch, tone, and align thebody. It concentrates onproper form, breath, andthe mind/body connection tocreate a full body workout thatis highly affective. The pilatesrepertoire and equipment usesa combination of springs, pul-

leys, gravity, and body weight to provide resistance to the muscles. The versatility of themovement and equipment allows for alterations in the practice to accommodate any per-sonal limitations or ability.

Question: “My ex-husband is asking my seven-year-old son to keep secrets from me.During his weekend he took a night shift and left our son with his girlfriend. How doI address the situation with my ex as well as my child?” – Kathleen, San Clemente

Answer: This request of your ex is extremely destructive on so many levels. Assuming thegirlfriend was a safe and responsible person to leave him with, and your son is familiar andcomfortable with the girlfriend, the greater issue is the burden a parent puts on the child atany age to keep secrets from the other parent. The child is put in a “no win” situation andmay live in constant fear of betraying one or the other parent if that secret is reveled. Guiltwill evolve even if the secret is not reveled, and if an argument results from one parent find-ing out, the child will feel responsible.

The relationship between either parent and child may be compromised by this manipulation,as the child will have a difficult decision to whom he should be loyal. No matter how you feelabout your ex, both parents are critical to the emotional development of your child.

Once the secret is known, it is imperative that the child be reassured that he did not do any-thing wrong and that he should not have to be responsible for adult secrets. The most op-

Kelly, Help!Kelly, Help!Kelly, Help!Q & A with Kelly Klaus, LMFT

timal resolution would be to have a calm con-versation with your ex that secrets should notbe necessary and you should work togetherfor the best interest of the child when plansor opportunities arise that change the pre-arranged plans. However, the reality may bethat the “co-parents” are not able to have acivil conversation at any level without explod-ing, and this must be avoided in front of thechild at any cost. A non-emotional letter oremail may be productive to point out that youwant to come to some sort of agreement toavoid the secrets and move forward to avoidmaking the same mistakes over and overagain.

Children at any age should not be used to pro-tect or harm a parent. Give them the gift ofchildhood, as well as the comfort and enjoy-ment of loving as many family members aspossible.

Q: “I have my children every otherweekend, how can I be more involvedwith my two children ages 4 & 7?” –Mark, San Juan Capistrano

A: Just because the court has decided thetime you will be responsible for your chil-dren, doesn’t mean you are not able to at-tend their activities, contact or beinvolved as much as possible.

• Ask your child to select a personal itemfor you to keep as a reminder of them.

• Discuss the next time you will be to-gether and what you each will be doing.

• Hide notes in their suitcase and discussif they found it the next time you talk.

• Buy two copies of a children’s book andread a story together over the phone.

• When you call, ask what the best thingthat happened to them today.

• Videotape yourself reading a bedtimestory to your child.

• Send via overnight mail/snail mail anote, letter, comic, or card. In this modernage of instant communication, it is fun toreceive something in the mail.

• If possible, have the other parent orfamily member video the children’s eventsand share with yourchild when you aretogether again.

“My husband wanted me to call. We’re selling dad’s house, and we just wanted to confirm that thereis no personal liability for my sister Nancy and me as trustees in listing the place.”

This question was posed by the daughter of a longtime client who had recently passed away afternaming his daughters as his trustees).

When I asked if she and her sister had selected an agent and if so, had they signed any documents?She responded in the affirmative to both questions and laughingly added that they had “killed atree and a half for all the forms she had us sign.”

I inwardly cringed and asked her to send me copies of the forms so that I could review what theyhad agreed to.

The next morning I arrived in the office just as one of my staff, a second-year law student, finishedprinting the voluminous email attachment.

“I thought she and her sister were the trustees for their dad. Why would they have signed all ofthese disclosure forms? Doesn’t that open them up to liability? And wouldn’t they have avoided li-ability if they hadn’t signed the forms?”

Even with a cursory glance at the documents, this student law clerk knew what our client apparentlyhad not been told by her real estate agent: While most sellers are required to sign disclosure state-ments, there are documents that some people should not sign if those individuals have certain jobsthat make them exempt from such a requirement.

The young clerk was taking one of her first steps on her journey as an attorney: Learning the con-sequences of clients who act before they call their advisors.

As it turned out, the house for sale was an old one, and the disclosures significant. And because thetrustees had chosen an agent who had never worked with a trustee in their situation before, theytook on a level of liability which the law did not require them to assume. The husbands of the sisters

Trustees: Before Acting, First Call

were understandably upset with theoutcome, and the attorneys for theagent and the buyer were com-pletely immovable in their defenseof the transaction.

At every point of the discussionswith the parties that followed, theanswer was the same: The trusteesshould have consulted their attor-ney and a competent real estateagent who had done trust sales inthe past, before signing any docu-ments.”

Sadly, the trustees could haveavoided significant layers of liabilityby simply invoking a provision ofthe California law which allows peo-ple in selected jobs (such astrustees and executors) to signifi-cantly avoid having obligation todisclose. And while there was a pos-sible alternative available to the sis-ter trustees to take action againstwhat might have been the malprac-tice of the real estate agent, the at-torneys for the agent’s billion dollarmulti-state real estate firm poundedhard enough on the table with theirshoes to scare the sisters awayfrom any thoughts of firing theagent.

Trust administration offers a signif-icant savings in costs, a lower com-mitment of time, and an avoidanceof public access to private family fi-nancial information compared toprobate administration. But familieswho select their members to serveas trustees need to plan to havethose trustees use the expertise ofprofessionals who know the pitfallsof planning before those membersfall down on the job as happened inthis sad situation. As with a host ofother potential stories, the trusteewho doesn’t employ an experiencedset of advisors may create moreproblems that could have been eas-ily avoided with a simple conversa-tion ahead of time.

Sean Zeitler, Boys' Head Track and CrossCountry Coach at Santa Margarita HighSchool, submitted a nomination for two"standout students" - Ryan Merritt, a senior,and his younger sister, Kaitlyn, a sopho-more with the following recommendation:

"Ryan has been a varsity starter on the basketballteam all four years and (at the time of this writing)is competing at Cathedral Catholic in San Diego inthe state tournament. Ryan has a 4.73 GPA anddoes a lot of community and volunteer work in thearea. Ryan’s sister, Kaitlyn, is the current California

State Leader in the Pole Vault with her mark of 13’01” set last month at our own Eagle Invita-tional. She is also a member of the 4x100 and 4x400 meter relay teams and was last year asa freshman as well. She maintains a 4.66 GPA."

South County Magazine: Athletics/philanthropy/studies/other: What's your forte and why?

Ryan Merritt: My parents have always taught us to be well-rounded people and all of these are important to me for dif-ferent reasons. My studies are obviously very important, asthey will help me determine my future as far as college andmy career. Athletics are important because I enjoy sports andcompetition. I’ve always been taught the importance of givingback as well, and I volunteer at a homeless shelter, tutoring,and coaching track for middle school students.

Kaitlyn Merritt: Philanthropy is important to me and comesbefore studies and athletics because I will only be able to polevault for so many years, eventually I will no longer attendschool and will retire from my future job, but helping othersis something that I can do my entire life. I don’t know if Iwould say this is my forte, but it is definitely closest to my

heart.

SCM: In your opinion, what is the key to success?

RM: The key to success is being able to learn from your fail-ures and become better because of them.

KM: I think the key to success is putting 100% of your effortinto everything you do and using mistakes as lessons. Ithink that if you believe in yourself and find enjoyment ineverything you do, you will not have any regrets and get themost out of everything.

SCM: How do you balance work/school/home/social life?

RM: Balancing different aspects of my life can sometimesbe challenging, but it’s all about keeping things in perspec-tive. Sports and studies are very important, but my familyand friends are what matter most and I always make timefor them. Developing time management skills has helpedme to balance my busy schedule throughout my four yearsof high school.

SCM: #1 Lesson you've learned last year?

RM: The one thing you can always control is your attitude.

KM: I learned to do what you love and to be thankful for what you have.

SCM: Who is the main person you look up to as a mentor and why?

RM: My role model is my grandfather Dr. Gary Moscarello. He is a very smart, successful,hard-working man who helps others for a living and always puts his family first.

KM: I look up to both my parents as mentors because they know what is important in lifeand stay true to themselves. They have strong values and stick to them, and they alwayshelp me put things into perspective.

GM: “If you are going to be a bear, be a grizzly.” Make sure to give 110% in what-ever you do because no matter the outcome you have given your all, which issomething to take pride in.

SCM: Lesson you've learned last year?

GM: “If you cannot change your situation, change your attitude.” This has really helpedwhen at a tough practice, taking a test, or studying. Keeping positive helps me get throughchallenges in my life that would be impossible with a negative mindset.

SCM: Your parents are obviously proud. What do theysay about your accomplishments?

GM: They are very supportive, whether it is driving twohours to watch me play basketball or helping me lookover a 4000-word paper, I know they are there for me.It helps to maintain a sense of humor, so my dad is con-stantly supplying jokes that help me get through any-thing.

SCM: What do you do in your free time?

GM: Read, play Quidditch, and walk my goldendoodle.

South County Magazine: Athletics/philanthropy/studies/other: What's your forte and why?

Gabriela McGann: My forte would have to bebalancing all three. I try to participate in allthree areas and not let one dominate another.

ment store is this mecca I speak of. When it comes to truth telling, however- I must admitthat Capistrano Consignment is every bit of amazing as their reputation boasts. Let metell you why.

Capistrano Consignment’s doors open to a relaxing water foun-tain, lit candles and soft music. That alone makes this store rock,but when you truly start shopping you’ll see what I mean. Pricesare incredible and 50% off red-dot sale items abound. It’s notuncommon to shop alongside professional decorators - the factthat frugality mixed with high-end exists here has turned Capis-trano Consignment into a “not-so-secret” hotspot for designerslooking for quality furniture, accessories, wall art, mirrors andmore.

Plans to expand are underway, and owner Diana Daly can’t wait to unveil it. “We’re lookingat a huge warehouse location. In addition to that, we will be listing our quality merchan-dise on our website and facebook to make it easier to shop,” she says. “In addition to thestore growing, we’re proud of our growing relationship with theSan Juan community. Our charity is titled ‘FORCE’ (Facing Our Riskof Cancer Empowered), and we are proud to bring greater aware-ness to it in any way we can.”

Whether you’re looking to buy, sell or decorate, stop by the store at 32210 Camino Capistrano inSan Juan Capistrano, call Diana at (949) 218-8801, or visit www.capistranoconsignment.com

There’s a reason why consignmentstores have become the rage in shop-ping. What’s better than low prices,excellent merchandise and vintagepieces all under one roof? Alas, thesad truth is that not every consign-

That’s where Dr. West comes in.

Dr. West is a leading expert in sleep apnea, snoring and CPAP intolerance.With Dr. West’s testing methods, the patient can easily tell if treatment isgoing to be successful. This has resulted in a 95% success rate. Dr. Westhas developed expertise in his field by studying and using several types oforal appliances, whereas the majority of dentists take a simple weekendcourse and focus on only one type of oral device.

Dr. West also realizes the important role insurance coverage plays in thedecision to see a specialist. That’s why he and his team have found ways toget you the best coverage. “What most dentists may not tell you is that thiscan often be covered under medical insurance. They may not know this be-cause medical insurance requires a completely different program for filing.Typically, most dental staff have no idea how to file medical insurance. Wedo, including Medicare. My staff has been doing this for six years and knowall the in's and out's of the medical insurance world,” says Dr. West.

At his convenient Lake Forest office Dr. West offers free consultations, andpatients often say they learned more about their sleep studies from thefree consultation then they do from their Sleep Specialist M.D.!

“We don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach to our pa-tients,” he says. “I attribute our success largely to that.I also have a very skilled and caring staff. We make sureto follow up, get to know you, and we want you to feelwelcomed when you walk through our doors. Our pa-tients love the friendly and relaxed environment, and welove working for them!”

Many sleepless people have given up the idea of agood night’s rest. Some have retired their CPAPs tothe hall closet, and others continue to half-heartedlywear theirs, feeling uncomfortable and restless.Snoring and sleep apnea are not just some of life’s

annoying issues, these medical conditions can cause problemsin your sleep, your relationships, and can ultimately leave youfeeling emotionally and physically drained.

If you would like to learn more about Dr. West’s successful treatment system, he can be reached bycalling (949) 829-6700 or visit www.cannotusecpap.com

Stephanie Frisch is the owner of Insurance 101 and is anindependent insurance broker dedicated to helping othersmake “educated decisions” about their insurance choices

when it comes to health insurance, life insurance, long-termcare planning and healthcare exchanges. For answers to

your questions, or an in-home, no-fee consultation,call (949) 351-2443

When you’re offered dental in-

surance from an employer, it

generally is reasonably priced

and what you pay for it

monthly makes sense in regards to the

amount of benefit you receive.

The decision to add dental insurance no

longer is a “no-brainer” when someone is

responsible for purchasing their own

plan; perhaps they’re becoming self-em-

ployed, starting a job that doesn’t provide

benefits or maybe turning 65 and/or retir-

ing and going on Medicare. The cost of a

good “stand-alone” dental insurance plan that an individual can purchase ranges from $35-

$65 a month. For a family the premium would range from $80-$180 a month. They will

provide benefits up to $2000 per person annually. In addition to the premium, you need

to take into consideration the waiting periods, co-insurance, and policy limits that all dental

plans have. The least expensive option if you’re under 65 and going on an individual plan

is to add it as a “rider” to your medical insurance through the company that you bought

your policy from. Some companies charge as little as $20 a month, but you’re only covered

for preventative care. You have to ask yourself, “Can I pay cash for my routine 6- month

cleanings and come out paying less than $240 a year for them?” Other companies allow

you to add a dental plan that is similar in benefits to a “stand-alone plan” for about $35-

$50 a month and they’ll cover 100% of the preventative care with no waiting period, 80%

of basic restorative work (fillings) after a 6-month waiting period, and 50% of major dental

services (endodontic, crowns, etc.) after a 12-month waiting period. These plans will gen-

erally pay out to the provider a maximum of $1000 a year.

This is why each person should weigh out the decision to carry dental insurance, or just

“self-insure” and save the money that they would pay monthly towards a premium in an

account dedicated for dental care. Do you have a history of cavities? Fillings at an early

age mean crowns later in life. Crowns generally go hand in hand with root canals. Do your

kids look like they’ll need braces? These are the situations where I recommend people carry

dental insurance. If you’ve always had good teeth, pay cash for your cleanings and inter-

mittent dental work and generally you’ll get at least a 10% discount from your dentist.

Buyer Beware! Discount dental insurance isn’t “insurance” it’s a discount plan. These plans

don’t pay the dentist any money, so they can’t be considered “insurance”. All these plans

do is put you in contact with a dentist that negotiates down his price with that discount

plan provider. How can you tell the difference? The price. If you’re paying less than $20 a

person a month, it’s a discount dental plan.

Is Dental Insurance Worth It?by Stephanie Frisch


For Owner Mike Dougherty and his staff, no job is too small.Anywhere you use water, they can sell and service water filtra-tion equipment for you - and their passion is to educate cus-tomers about the importance of drinking and using safe water.

“A water softener uses salt and electricity to remove calciumand magnesium from the water, while a whole house filtrationsystem doesn’t use salt or electricity,” says Mike. “It connectsto the main water line coming to your home and essentiallyserves as a point-of-entry-filter to stop dirt, sediment, rust,scale and other harmful contaminants at the door. So the waterthat comes out of every dispenser in your house - faucets,baths, showers, toilets, kitchen, laundry - is clean and safe.”

When you contact Pacific Water Solutions, you get a waterprofessional on the phone right away, not an answering serv-ice with a promise to return the call. Because Mike and histeam take the time to an-swer questions and workwith your budget, they havehundreds of happy cus-tomers (Google “PacificWater Solutions” to read on-line, unbiased reviews).

Growing up in rural Idaho, I was lucky enough to live in a house thatgot its water from a well. My family never worried about chemicalslike chlorine, calcium, magnesium or sediment like those found inthe municipal water supply. I’ve heard so many people say theydrink bottled water as a solution, but that doesn’t solve the factthat it’s wasteful and expensive or that you still absorb these chem-

icals through your skin. Bottled water doesn’t solve the problem of washingyour dishes and watering your vegetables with these contaminates.

The solution is more cost-effective and easier to implement than you mightthink. A full-service water filtration company, Pacific Water Solutions sells, serv-ices and installs water filtration and purification systems to all of OC and unlikemany of its competitors, has retail locations where customers can check outthe product options – and get an education on the benefits of both types ofsystems - before they buy.

swimming pool is an enormous value to ahome. It draws friends and family to you; it’sa place for exercise and respite alike; it’s asummer full of fun waiting to happen. Whena pool is run-down and bleeding energy (andcash) like there’s no tomorrow, it’s thebiggest hassle a homeowner ever enter-tained. So if you have a pool (or the sem-blance of one), or if you are consideringinstalling a pool, the question is: How do youend up with a pool that’s an advantage, notan affliction?

That’s a good question for Nick Satter. You might say that Nick grewup in a pool. His father was an executive of one of the largest poolsupply companies in the world. As a young man, he worked for his fa-ther and created his own pool repair and maintenance clientele beforegoing to work for a construction company that installed pools. Hewould listen to the owners brag about the price they had gotten forpools they would install with no finesse and little quality, and he knewthat he could not only build better pools, he could give homeownerseverything they really wanted in their biggest backyard fixture. Hefounded Gold Coast Pool & Spa, now the premier builder and remod-eler of custom swimming pools in Orange County.

Nick quickly enlisted the help of Rick Fulton, one of the best softscapeand landscape designers in the region. Together Nick and Rick have

Adesigned and built thousands of pools and spas across the county,from simple shapes to extraordinary water features characterized byrich foliage, waterfalls, cabanas, bathrooms, outdoor kitchens and fire-places. More and more, homeowners are coming to them to reinventexisting pools, which is always an exciting challenge for Nick and Rick.Dilapidated, dysfunctional pools are transformed into beautiful, en-ergy efficient watery escapes that can truly be enjoyed. Whether de-signing new pools or remodeling old ones, Gold Coast Pool & Spa’spurpose is to create pool environments that turn your backyard intoa place of elegance, beauty and style that welcomes you and the onesyou love, every day.

“Quality pools and beautiful backyards are a product of excellent, de-tailed design and honest work, simple as that,” says Nick. “When youhave a good idea of what elements you want, you can trust our visionto tie it all together. We want you to love your pool and enjoy yourbackyard every single day. Otherwise, what’s the point?”

For most homeowners, this comes down to a couple of factors: costand comfort.

New technologies developed as recently as within the last decade havedramatically altered the energy efficiencies and therefore the cost ef-ficiencies of swimming pool equipment. The impact is so remarkablethat Nick asserts that with key technology upgrades, homeowners cansave up to 90% of what they currently spend in energy costs usingoutdated, inefficient technology. That means heating your pool won’t

Where SummersGo Swimmingly

send you to the poorhouse, which means you’ll likely heat (and enjoy)your pool far more often.

Since the beginning of swimming pools, the arrival of summer was trum-peted not just by the scents of jasmine and waffle cones, but by thechokingly dubious smell of calcium and sodium hypochlorite, repletewith all its unhappy byproducts: burning eyes, dry skin and green hair.The reign of chemical chlorine is over. Today, homeowners, with the helpof advocates like Nick and Gold Coast Pool & Spa, are turning to naturalchlorine (aka saline) pools for healthy recreational swimming. Did youknow that converting your chemical chlorine pool to a safe, naturalsaline pool is not only possible, but is possible within hours? Saline alsorequires less maintenance and does less damage to pumps and equip-ment, making your pool not only a ton more pleasant but also less costlyto maintain. Such are the benefits of converting to saline that Nick prom-ises to give his clients “nearly care-free pools and spas.”

If you have a swimming pool that is in need of a cosmetic remodel, a salineconversion or a technology update, or if you want to increase the value ofyour property and the quality of your domestic lifestyle by installing a cus-tom pool, consider contacting Gold Coast Pool & Spa. The firm is a fully li-censed general contractor, possessing a B1 and C53 custom pool builderslicenses. Unlike your stereotypical construction contractors, Nick and Rickwalk every project through design, installation and finishing, a factor thatis almost as refreshing as a dip on a summer’s day.

ing to the Centers for Disease control, more than half of the 7 million sports and recreation-relatedinjuries are sustained by youth as young as age 5. Last year, the National Youth Sports Safety Foun-dation forecasted that more than 3 million teeth would be knocked out in youth sporting events - yetin a survey commissioned by the American Association of Orthodontists( AAO), 67% of parents ad-mitted that their child does not wear a mouth guard during organized sports.

“Each year I see a significant number ofchildren with dental injuries that resultedfrom failure to wear a mouth guard,” saysSan Juan Capistrano-based orthodontistMark Sayed, D.M.D.

The American Dental Association recom-mends wearing mouth guards for acrobat-ics, basketball, boxing, field hockey,football, gymnastics, handball, ice hockey,lacrosse, martial arts, racquetball, roller hockey, rugby, shot putting, skateboarding, skiing, sky-diving, soccer, squash, surfing, volleyball, water polo, weightlifting and wrestling.

"I would encourage children to wear mouth guards in any sport where there is a good chance tocollide with a ball, a piece of equipment or another player," says Dr. Sayed.

In fact, Dr. Sayed encourages parents and coaches to require mouth guardsas part of a child’s uniform-for every practice and every game, that is whyhe is offering them at free of charge to anyone who mentions South CountyMagazine in the month of September.

There is a distinct disconnectbetween parents’ concernfor their children’s safetywhile playing sports and theprotective equipment kidscurrently use in most sports.

A child’s mouth and face can be easily in-jured if the proper precautions are notused while playing sports. In fact, accord-

2) What is the cost for lasertoenail treatment?IR: The treatments are broken downinto two easy to understandcomponents. The first is theexamination and nail treatment whichmay be covered by insurance. Thesecond part is the actual lasertreatment which is not covered. Aone-time examination fee of $500 ischarged during the first sessionwhich covers both the fee for the ini-

tial examination as well as the follow-up office visit. There is a separate laser fee of $70 foreach toe which is also paid upfront and covers two laser treatments. For example, treatingone toe would be $570; however if all ten toenails are treated, the charge would be $1200.For severe infections, a third laser treatment may be necessary. Exclusive anti-fungalproducts are sold separately. You are not forced to treat all your nails as may be mandatoryat other offices.

1. How did you perfect the lasertreatment for fungal nails?Ivar Roth, DPM: After performing thou-sands of laser fungal toenail treatments, Ideveloped and refined a proprietary proto-col coupled with the newest second gen-eration FDA approved laser. The new laserwith its digital readouts allows me to tellprecisely how much energy is required tokill the fungus. With this information, I cal-culate a specific customized laser treatment tailored to each patient. This patient specifictreatment means that no two patients are given the same laser treatment. In addition, I in-vented a new way to get rid of the fungal infection in the toenails. Before your lasertreatment, I will perform Maximum Nail Reduction (MNR) which removes at least 80% of your fungus in a single office visit. This exclusive protocol is so effective that I appliedfor a patent and it is currently only available at my office. The initial treatment fee includes asecond treatment session in order to ensure your success.

and send you off to figure it out at home. That’s what they do. Andthat’s all they do.

If you want the home theater system that you envision, you needSkip Myers of ReelTime Sight & Sound, the guy you can lean onto take you from start to finish for the home theater or sound sys-tem of your dreams.

“Usually there is a part of the job that you find you just can’t do byyourself,” says Skip, who has overseen the design and installationof thousands of home theater and sound systems over the courseof forty years in the business. “You get your brand new televisionhome, you’re so excited, then you realize you need to move an out-let or none of the cabinets you can find will fit your space. We’rehere to make sure you get the equipment that will give you whatyou want and the system that will work with that equipment, with-

out leaving you to fend for yourself.”

Skip opened the doors at ReelTime Sight& Sound in 1983. Today, the techniciansand designers that Skip assigns to clientsare all ReelTime Sight & Sound employ-ees, knowledgeable in all home theaterand sound technologies. First, they workclosely with you to determine whatyou’re looking for. Then they custom de-sign every aspect of the project, fromwiring to custom-built cabinets, frames,

or built-in wall designs. Finally, licensed, in-house contractors installyour entertainment system with care and precision.

There are a couple of things that people may not think aboutwhen they embark upon the road to their own home entertainmentsystem.

“You need to think about your home theater goals,” says Skip. “Youdon’t have to do everything at once – you can do it bit by bit – butif you know where you’re going, you’ll save money and when it’s allsaid and done, you’ll have exactly what you want and what you willactually use. We’re here to help you determine your goals.”

Skip is also an advocate for getting what you’ll use, which is partof the design and planning process.

“You can buy everything you want to, but if you can’toperate it, what’s the point?” he says. “There’s the tel-evision, DVD and Blue-ray; there’s the receiver, there’sApple TV… it’s all great, but how do you get them towork together? We’re big advocates of the universalremote. Not everyone knows how to get the most outof their systems with one powerful remote – they’renot expensive, but the best ones are computer-based.We’ll set that up for you so you’re getting the mostout of your custom system.”

It’s easy to assume that personal service is expensive,but a conversation with Skip and the experts atReeTime Sight & Sound is free.Ultimately, in planning yourpurchases for the right out-

come, you’re likely to save money whileavoiding chilling setbacks. The only chillingyou want to be doing is in front of your fan-tasy home theater system.

Connect with Skip Myers and ReelTime Sight & Sound by calling (949) 240-0555 or stop by theirshowroom at 26381 Via De Anza in San Juan Capistrano.

When you started planning for your ultimatehome theater set-up and sound system, didyou plot your perfect flat screen locationand find that the outlets were placed at ex-actly the right distance, with the perfect

electrical scenario for everything you wanted to do?Could you find the right media cabinetry for your par-ticular space – cabinetry that wouldn’t catch on fire fromthe heat of the equipment, or that would simply lookgood in the room? Did you understand half of what thetelevisions, receivers and other devices could do, anddid you have anyone to hold your hand to make sure youweren’t overspending for what you wanted?

Yeah, neither did I.
