Total Property SolutionsMishaps While Filming Reality ShowLocal Contractor Saves the Day

A tiny house was being built for the wildly successful TV show ldquoTiny House Nationrdquo After another contractor backed out mid-project local contractor Hunter Miley and his team from Total Property SolutionsGranicrete was invited to complete the tiny house during recent filming in Pleasant Hill Hunter said ldquoWhile the producer and I were talking I noticed the jacks hold-ing up the house were not properly reinforced Suddenly there was a loud lsquothudrsquo as the trailer came off of the foundation jacks and the house began to sink into the mud on one corner These homes are built on top of trailer frames and the weight needs to be evenly distributed and reinforced to withstand having an entire home built on top After clearing the crew from the inside we mobilized made the repairs and reinforced the trailer We only had a few days and an entire house to complete It was a pressure and rain-filled week but our team was able to pull it offrdquo Fortunately Total Property Solutions specializes in every area that was needed They have the resources to accomplish everything from installing light

fixtures and flooring to completing build-outs for additions The crown jewel of the project was the overnight filming of Hunter in his Granicrete studio where he creates an entire kitchen countertop with Granicrete as an overlay that replicates the look of a beautiful soap stone counter top at half the weight and cost Do you need a contractor with expertise Call Total Property Solutions They are experts at creating beautiful homes and can fix or improve every area of your home See pictures on Facebook wwwfacebookcomTPSCa Contact us at 925-256-1009 You can see the full episode at wwwfyitvshowstiny-house-nation Season 2 Episode 5 Total Property Solutions is located at 3490 Buskirk Ave Pleasant Hill For more information call us at (925) 256-1009 and visit us at wwwtotalpropertyso-lutionsus


BY JULIE ROSS My washing machine began issuing cries for help in the form of really annoying beep se-quences that could only be silenced by human interven-tion Apparently it was getting stuck at certain points in the washrinsespin cycle had no idea how to proceed and

had to summon its human (sadly me) to come to its aid sort out the confu-sion and stop its plaintive beeping I thought I was pretty much on the cutting edge of washing machine trends having purchased a fancy front-loading machine that demanded an exclusive diet of high-efficiency (ldquoherdquo) detergent Didnrsquot I just buy this appli-ance and why was it turning on me I located the paperwork on the

washer and no it turns out I didnrsquot just buy it time flew by as usual and it was several years old So it was decision time Do I try to get the poor old thing healthy again or just have it hauled away and replaced (Sorry as I age I am starting to take things like this very personally) I called the service center The gentleman on the line suggested that perhaps there was an issue with the ldquomotherboardrdquo Long pause while I considered the onslaught of technol-ogy and how it has crept into every corner of my life even the laundry room Is nothing sacred Anyway the technician informed me that while the motherboard could be replaced it would be costly and might not solve the problem This information made my decision much easier Off I went to the appliance store to locate a new laundry day chore-master It did not take long to find a good candidate The machine was a warm

gray color within my price range and featured enough cycles to clean any-thing from a silk hanky to farm clothes It even offered an attractive rebate from PGampE due to its extreme energy efficiency I called the sales clerk over to seal the deal He suggested I also pur-chase the matching dryer As a set he explained the two appliances could ldquocommunicaterdquo Now why on earth did he think that was a selling point What exactly are the washer and dryer going to talk about Are they going to gos-sip about stains Critique my fashion sense No thanks I just bought the washing machine No way am I going to encourage that behavior So far the new washer old dryer and I are getting along fine We donrsquot talk much and there is not a lot of beeping Itrsquos peace-ful I hope it stays that way for a good long while You can reach Julie at julieakrosscomcastnet

t has taken me longer to get to know some of my neighbors than others and Irsquove become enamored with

some recent aquaintences the river otters at Hidden Lakes Park in Martinez After watching them for the past two years Irsquom still surprised that these wild crea-tures have chosen to inhabit this series of ponds and creeks smack-dab in the middle of residential neighborhoods and a busy elementary school The possibility of encountering them has me so ad-dicted that Irsquove had to consciously alter my regular treks in the park in order to balance exercise with satisfying my urge to otter-watch I spend an inordinate amount of time waiting to catch a glimpse ndash stopping mid-hike to quietly wait on the banks of the lake for full minutes listening for a splash searching for the graceful wakes on the surface as they move out of the grassy reeds that line the waterrsquos edge or I follow the telltale air bubble clusters to predict where the swimmer will pop up I am giddy if one of them even glances up at me I hike a hill jog a flat then gaze at the water - exercise and otter spotting interspersed Or I take the hills first and then watch Heart rate before otters veg-gies before dessert A few years ago I was oblivious to their presence but regulars at the park tell me the otters have been around for several years Karen James who took these stunning pictures dedicates far more time than I to observing the otters birds turtles and other wildlife at the park I met Karen as we were standing on the opposite banks of a narrow stretch of the lake Her impressive camera lens was trained on two otters that had pulled out

of the water on my side just a few feet in front of me behind the reeds to dig into a large freshly caught fish Well one of them dug in loudly crunching and chew-ing the other could only watch and hope for a scrap After generously agreeing to share her photos Karen directed me to the River Otter Ecology Project website wwwriverotterecologyorg for informa-tion about North American River Otters in the Bay Area According to the River Otter Ecol-ogy Project (ROEP) otters are a sentinel species because they require clean water and plenty of healthy fish to thrive Their return to our watersheds after a decades-long absence attests to improv-ing conditions of rivers lakes and streams

and offers an example of what conserva-tion and restoration can achieve Hidden Lakes is a beautiful park but I get a little discouraged by the trash that some care-less visitors leave behind on trails and in and around the water But I met another park regular as we were both dumping garbage we had collected while walking He introduced himself as Elvoid and he lives directly adjacent to the park Elvoid assured me that conditions have vastly improved from 30 or 40 years ago When his boys were young they would all head into the lake in their canoe and pull out 200-300 pounds of bottles cans and trash that littered the water and surrounding area The now thriving wildlife popula-tion makes a strong argument that the

efforts to conserve and restore Bay Area wetlands is well worth continuing Agile on land as well as in the water the otters made their way from the bay and delta through rivers marshes streams creeks and canals and have been spotted locally in Martinez Pleas-ant Hill Concord Pacheco Walnut Creek Lafayette and beyond according to the interactive map on the ROEP website ROEPrsquos mission is ldquoto illustrate the linkages between the recovery of local river otter populations and healthy watersheds and foster public and organizational partici-pation in restoration and conservationrdquo The Otter Spotter Citizen Science Project allows the public to add to the data thatrsquos being compiled by noting sightings and uploading video and photos You can even collect otter scat samples and send them in for analysis if yoursquore so inclined Whether you encounter otters regularly or are on a new mission to seek them out ROEP offers common sense but critical etiquette and safety guide-lines most importantly Avoid approach-ing and donrsquot harass otters if you encounter them If otters are comfortable around you theyrsquoll ignore you If theyrsquore uncomfortable they will stop doing what theyrsquore doing and move away Otters will bite if threatened or attacked Pretty simple Respect these wild creatures On a recent misty early morning walk I heard the splash then waited high on a bank while two otters glided around the bend just below me The first spotted me turned and rose up out of the water to get a better look snorted twice and went back to the business of hunting for breakfast ignoring me Made my whole day

BY DANIEL DuREE The road to estate planning hell is indeed often paved with the best of intentions While assisting clients in the probate process or with a trust administration I often encounter small missteps that result in a large headache for the surviving family This month I am going to discuss some of the most common estate planning mistakes I run across in my practice and how to avoid them so you can have peace of mind 1 Assets Left Outside of a Trust Even if you have a revocable living trust if an asset is not in the trust it must go through probate if it is worth more than $150000 Often this happens when people create a trust online or through a low cost company and they are not sufficiently reminded that assets must be titled in the name of the trust to avoid probate It is not a bad idea to check in with your estate-planning attorney every few years as they will always ask if all of your assets are in the name of the trust 2 Beneficiary Designations that Conflict with a Trust A beneficiary listed on an account trumps any dispo-sition under a trust or a will If there is a valid beneficiary on an account that account transfers to the beneficiary regardless of what a trust says3 Married Couple Holding Title to

Real Estate as Joint -Tenants Con-trary to popular belief (and what most title companies tell people) a married couple in California should never hold title to real estate as joint tenants Yet roughly sixty percent of my new cli-ents hold their property this way If real estate is held as community property or in a trust the tax basis for capital gains purposes steps all the way up to the current value at the death of the first spouse This does not occur for joint-tenants Holding title as joint-tenants can result in a serious capital gains tax bill if a surviving spouse ever sells a property4 More than $150000 in Assets and No Living Trust Even with a will if an individual in California dies with more than $150000 in gross assets their estate must still go through the court supervised probate process While a will is sufficient in many states in Cali-fornia most people need a revocable living trust for proper estate planning 5 401(k) or IRA Beneficiary Designa-tions Are Outdated As I noted earlier a beneficiary designation supersedes anything in either a will or a trust Often people amend their trust but neglect to change their beneficiary designations It may be advisable to name a trust as a secondary benefi-ciary to a retirement account so that any distribution changes made to the trust will channel retirement funds ac-cording to that scheme By being aware of potential

BY RUSS CARROLL As many of you know I have traveled for work for years Mostly itrsquos enjoyable How-ever it is a young manrsquos game and I no longer qualify under this heading Yet still I march on During my recent Dallas trip I noticed that I have become a bit cynical There are a few things I want to get off my chest either at your expense or for your enjoyment Letrsquos hope for the latter For those who travel for work I am certain you will empathize with my observa-tions Why do people go brain dead at the airport People simply stop dead in their tracks in the middle of the airport walkway After a few pirouettes they resume their journey in the exact direction they were already headed Did they check their brain with their baggage Perhaps the x-ray machine has rendered their brain useless This is simple Itrsquos an airport There are huge monitors every twenty feet that show you which gate to use Then there are huge signs at each gate showing you their number Find your gate and go there If you want to stop and have a beer or a bite to eat on the way itrsquos okay with me Just know that when you are done your gate is exactly where you left it Go there Now I donrsquot want to sound insensi-tive or judgmental but I donrsquot want to sit next to Jabba the Hutt ever again

The airports have these framed bins outside every gate that show you the maximum size of your carry-on lug-gage If it doesnrsquot fit check it If you donrsquot fit buy another ticket for the ad-ditional seat you are going to take up once on board Now no one is running to the pool to see me in a swimsuit either - I get that BUThellipI fit in the seat There should at least be an ldquoincon-venience feerdquo If I have to pay 10 cents for a bag at the grocery storecrsquomon share the pain with me And please advise the person walking down the aisle on a Southwest flight looking for the seat numbered ldquoB-16rdquo that this is their boarding number not their seat number More ranting hellip Why on earth do car rental companies give you two sets of keys for your car that are cabled together with a bike lock Okay hotels putting bumps on one side of a cheap bar of soap does not turn it into a ldquomassage barrdquo and when I walk up to the hotel front desk exhausted and carrying luggage and the clerk says ldquoChecking inrdquo I want to reply ldquoNo I just came by to see how you were doingrdquo I could continue this rant for some time but enough out of me For the vacation traveler these things probably go unnoticed But for those of us with enough free air miles that we donrsquot want to fly anywhere for leisure these are real issues Buthellipthatrsquos just how I see it Russell Carroll can be reached by email at russcarrollemailgmailcom

Downsizing and Right SizingWhat to Consider Before You MoveBY GLENN ALLEN Once the kids have all moved out downsizing that large house might be just the thing to kick off your next phase of life There are three main reasons to downsize from financial reasons accessibility improvements (eg eliminating stairs) and relocating to a more desirable location There are many options to consider when making this move My goal is always to provide my clients with insights and options to help them make the most informed decision regarding potential moves When considering a move you want to be aware of several tax laws I donrsquot profess to be a tax consultant I am only sharing some ideas to think about (I do offer my clients free tax and legal advice from a professional

Contact me for the specifics) There are several laws that can save you money Many people have lived in their home for years and built up quite a bit of equity Thanks to the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 you may be able to avoid paying capital gains tax on a portion or all of the gain you realize when selling your primary residence It could be up to $250000 in profit for a single owner and $500000 for a couple The strategy would be to sell your larger home and buy a smaller less expen-sive home You could end up with some money in the bank a lower cost of living and a single-story home in a better location The second law that could save you money here in California is Proposition 60 If you have lived in your home for years and your tax base is quite low this tax initiative would allow you as a senior citizen to trans-fer the tax base value from a current

home to a replacement property if certain requirements are met This may result in substantial tax savings Requirements include 1) The replace-ment property must be your principal residence 2) The replacement prop-erty must be of equal or lesser ldquocur-rent market valuerdquo than the original property 3) The replacement property must be purchased or built within two years before or after the sale of the original property 4) You or a spouse residing with you must have been at least 55 years of age when the original property was sold I have seen couples save $400 to $500 per month Another potential strategy is to sell your current home and take advantage of the two laws explained above and purchase your next home with a reverse mortgage The benefit of this is you could potentially put a down payment of 40-50 and never make another mortgage payment All

you have to do is make your tax and insurance payment The benefit of this scenario is you would lock in your cost of living and keep the remain-ing cash in the bank to use for other reasons I can recommend a local loan officer who specializes in this type of mortgage to prepare a possible loan scenario Recently I have had several retired clients sell their homes in the area and move to Heritage Point in Walnut Creek This is a great option You pay rent and have access to wonderfully cooked meals great location beautiful grounds and walking distance to eve-rything in Walnut Creek The food is so good one of my clients started gaining weight and had to cut back Glenn Allen REMAX Real Estate agent can be reached at glennTalkTo-Glenncom 925-709-1000 or visit wwwTalkToGlenncomblog phsalesreportcom and enhanceandstagecom

Every year the President of the United States delivers the State of the Union to a joint session of Congress The governor delivers the State of the State to the Legislature and most mayors de-liver the State of the City to local cham-bers of commerce I delivered Martinezrsquo State of the City message to a gathering of citizens and interested parties hosted by the Martinez Chamber of Commerce During my half hour delivery I touched on the current financial picture the many accomplishments of 2014 and what we have planned for 2015 I would like to share some of those highlights with you here The financial picture for the City of Martinez is very good The total assessed valuation in the city increased by over $400 million to $48 billion which yields $6963 million in property tax revenue to the city This is an increase of $360000 from last year Unfortunately sales tax has dropped almost $1 million from last year due to the exit of a very large business-to-business sales tax producer Sales tax currently sits at $41 million The general fund has an operating budget of $195 million and an expense budget of $19 million giving us a cush-ion of $500000 The unrestricted reserve fund (rainy day fund) is estimated to be at $45 million by the end of this fiscal year Over the next few months the new

2015-2017 budget will be developed and the council will determine if we have excess reserves to invest in infrastructure projects which could include additional paving and maintenance programs Most of our Measure H park projects have been completed with only Susana Street Park Mt View Park and Water-front Park to be started Last month the city council held a workshop on Water-front Park and approved a schematic plan that would provide additional parking new ball fields with lights new picnic areas and a renovation of the grassy meadow Construction is planned to commence this fall and continue through the summer of 2016 Other public works and capital projects include construction of the Alhambra Creek Bridge at Berrellessa Street and the pedestrian bridge over the tracks to the North Intermodal Park-ing Lot the Marina Vista bikepedestrian trail improvements from Shell Avenue to the Benicia-Martinez Bridge trail and the Shell Avenue and Alhambra Valley Road sidewalk improvements The 2015 street resurfacing pro-gram includes Pine StreetCenter Avenue at Highway 4 Morello Avenue at Highway 4 C Street Allen Street and Haag Road as well as pothole repairs throughout the city Also included are several areas of the city that will receive

CP DVAL League Champs A Rebuilding YearAHS Boys SoccerBY M JOHNSON With the graduation of nine sen-iors and the retirement of Coach Mark Eitelgeorge at the end of the 2014 sea-son the Alhambra High School boys soccer program was definitely in flux Following four straight years of North Coast Section (NCS) qualifications and averaging 95 wins per season the 2015 team was a shell of what it had been and the administration was on the lookout for an established coach with a track record of success What they found was one of the Bay Arearsquos best After a two-year sabbatical one of the winningest and most respected coaches decided it was time to get back on the sidelines Rory Gentry a two-time winner of the Contra Costa Times Boys Soccer Coach of the Year (2004 and 2010) answered the adver-tisement and the rest as they say is history With an overall record of 3 wins 17 losses and 2 ties the Bulldogsrsquo record was not a very good indicator of the improvements that had taken place over the season With a line-up that consisted of a handful of seniors but

mostly 9th and 10th graders the team was not focusing on wins and losses but rather team goals and individual improvement at every position Over the last four games AHSrsquo record was 1 win (a senior night drubbing of Aca-lanes 3-1 featuring two goals by senior Carlos Nunez and a 6-save outing by junior goalkeeper Jose Diaz) 2 ties and a hard fought loss to league champi-ons Campolindo ldquoWith the improved play of our younger players and the continued success of our junior varsity program under coaches Andrew Bower and Bulldog 2014 alumni Juan Sanchez our coaching staff and returning play-ers are very excited for the 2016 sea-sonrdquo said Gentry Other Diablo Foothill Athletic League (DFAL) coaches definitely agreed and awarded all-league rec-ognitions to 1st team selection senior DrsquoAngelo Morales 2nd teamer junior Blake Johnson and honorable men-tions to senior Salman Abdurrohm-ann sophomore Andrew Olvera and freshman Nick Silva The future for the Bulldogs Boys Soccer teams looks very bright indeed

BY KEVIN ARNDT Creating con-sistency with our athletes is one of the toughest obstacles we face when it comes to events and games Every athlete experiences highs and lows in their performance Thatrsquos okay it is a part of sports The issue that can be tough to solve is why an athlete will have a great week of practice but tank when itrsquos time to compete There are a variety of reasons for this but the main culprit usually has to do with one of three things stress sleep or nutrition I have personally experienced the stress that can come with sports When I played baseball I would have great practices and warm ups get good sleep and eat enough but when the game came I would collapse Because I was batting third I felt I needed to do all the heavy lifting and always get a hit This caused me to start off my junior year by going 1-31 (032 average) It wasnrsquot an easy fix but I created a pre-game routine stuck to it and trusted my teammates I finished the year with a 395 batting aver-age Stress is easy to identify but not always easy to correct I talk with athletes about trusting themselves and know-ing what they are capable of I explain to them that itrsquos ldquoyou vs yourdquo never get

caught up in the last play or event Compartmentalizing is key to con-trolling stress Michael Gervais a world-renowned sports psychologist explains that stress in sports is created when an athlete feels their skills are not good enough to match up with the moment He tells athletes the same thing we tell our athletes put in the necessary work and know the plays Then trust yourself Donrsquot overthink Just go out and play Overthinking will destroy perfor-mance I know Irsquom in Forty Niner country but I am a huge Seattle sports fan Like the Seahawks or not they have done a wonderful job of creating consist-ency and managing stress Coach Pete Carroll was ridiculed for how fast their practices were how vanilla their defen-sive schemes were and how practices seemed more suited to a college team than a professional team But his method falls in line with managing stress Sea-hawk practices are fast to mimic games so players arenrsquot caught off guard De-fenses are vanilla because Coach Carroll doesnrsquot want his players to overthink He just wants them to play Teaching our athletes to practice hard with focus and intent while hav-ing fun will help them when itrsquos time to compete Just go out and play Kevin Arndt is an athletic trainer at Forma Gym in Walnut Creek You can reach him at KevinFormagymcom

In the GardenSpring Onions at Their PeakBY LESLEY STILES While wait-ing with positive thoughts for more rain we enjoy the phenomenon that happens when force-fed an early spring Flowers are eve-rywhere Daffodils tulips lilacs roses citrus blossoms and jasmine scent the atmosphere entering every cell of our being and creating smiles relaxation and momentary bliss Spring produce is beginning to dominate gardens and farmersrsquo market tables Onions garlic and leeks beckon with promises of savory delights in sizzling butter cara-melizing magic into dishes of all kinds Subtle differences divide the chicks from the hens in the alliumsrsquo world Green onions available year-round are not to be confused with spring onions available only in spring Naturersquos sweet previews of summer bounty are simply immature onions

Farmers specifically plant fields of on-ions for pulling young alongside fields of old timers destined for the golden drying rays of summer sun Along with bad behavior immaturity also brings eggshell white bulbs shaded with purple stripes that reach for elongated sweet shafts of tender green tops You are mandated to use them in their en-tirely As soon as you slice into a spring onion picked fresh from the field the drops of sugar start to appear offering a unique caramelizing experience in hot sweet butter Marinate perfect cremini mushrooms in pureed spring onion sloshed with fresh lemon juice olive oil and chopped oregano Spring onions create amazing music when tossed in olive oil and sea salt grilled whole alongside an organic rosemary scented chicken blistering on a hot wood fire Dice fine to mix with local white wine vinegar and coarse ground black pepper for a mignonette to pack up with a special bubbly and trip up the coast in pursuit of briny local oysters Definition spring Cultivated 4000 years ago a favorite of Nerorsquos and royally statu-esque sweet-flavored leeks are ours to partake Long cylinders of bundled leaf sheaths with blanched white innards and bright green tops leeks are at their peak in late winter to early spring You must cook the entire leek to understand the difference between the refined bottom-half and the subtle sweet top of this allium Sauteacuteed leeks and potatoes classically combined with chicken stock and a touch of cream then brought to a simmer for a bit and blended result in a velvety Vichyssoise The end product of sauteacute-ing an entire leek in olive oil with shitake mushrooms slices of chicken breast and fresh tarragon illustrates the subtlety of the alliums and the need to habitually place them in our market basket At the farmersrsquo market you may occasionally come upon a leek flower This rare treat must be quickly and quietly swooped upon taken home chopped up placed in a

tart crust with whipped salted eggs and chevre and baked to golden bubbling perfection Chopped leek flowers lend mysterious flavor when sprinkled in green salads tossed with Roquefort dressing March is a great time to start thinking about your vegetable garden cooperatively with kids and family My grandpa was a big organic gardener who lived in Oakland so he was at our house in Pleasant Hill a lot in my momrsquos big garden He taught her she taught us and the chain continues Get instant gratification from getting radishes and carrots into chilly soil now along with late crop peas and lots of lettuce and kales You may consider getting rid of your front lawn and planting fruits and vegetables with an efficient drip system for summer water conservation Heavy mulch is a must and if you know a tree guy it is always free Enjoy the trails and move it or lose it Gratitude abounds on a daily basis when living in our valley Lesley Stiles is a graduate of the California Culinary Academy sustain-able caterer and school garden edu-cator Contact Lesley at lesleystilescomcastnet wwwlesleystilesblogs-potcom and visit her new website wwwlesleystilesfoodscom

Pair UpSt ldquoPattyrsquosrdquo DayBY MARIA TERRY The luck orsquo the Irish will be with us on March 17 Many celebrate the anniversary of St Patrickrsquos death with festive green colors cute shamrocks and of course good food and drink In honor of Patrick here are three delicious recipes that have a ldquopattyrdquo at their core Although many will be consuming green beer on this day I recommend both red and whites wines for pairing with these recipes The Languedoc-Roussillon wine region hugs the Mediterranean coast of southern France This regionrsquos fruity red wines are delightful partners to seafood dishes like Mediterranean Salmon Patties listed here You will find wines from Languedoc-Roussillon are commonly made from the holy trinity of red grapes Grenache Syrah and Mourvedre Of the three Syrah is often the most tannic and has a meaty quality Mourvedre offers rich earthi-ness For this dish I suggest looking for a blend that is dominated by the Grenache grape It is generally the most fruit forward of the three and has the necessary acidity to balance the tomato sauce that accompanies the

patties Hamburgers make great party fare Asian-Inspired Pork Patties have intensely flavored ingredients mixed directly into the meat In fact because the patties have so many flavors the toppings for this burger are incredibly simple mayonnaise and watercress Serve with Jalapentildeo Kettle Chips and a Cilantro-Broccoli side salad (ldquoPair Uprdquo May 2014) and pair with a dry Austrian Riesling This wine often has beautiful aromas of peaches and roses and it will complement the floral quality of the ginger without fighting the spice of the jalapeno Irish Soda Patties are like mini-scones Recipe available at wwwlasom-melierrecom and wwwourcommuni-tyfocuscom These little beauties have a hint of caraway and tangy currants and they are not too sweet For this rea-son they pair well with a dessert wine Banyuls also from the Languedoc-Roussillon and made from Grenache grapes has fig newton roasted coffee and toasted nut flavors If you canrsquot find a Banyuls flavors similar to these can be found in a tawny portSo go on Pair Up Maria Terry is a Certified Somme-lier and Wine Educator in the San Fran-cisco Bay Area wwwLaSommelierrecom

BY JEWEL JOHL MD It is well known that an adequate amount of vitamins and minerals is good for your health However recent stud-ies suggest there is a possible association between vitamin D intake and colon cancer prevention The role of vitamin D is to assist in calcium absorption for healthy teeth and bones and to boost the immune system The daily recommendation for individuals 1-70 years of age is 600 IU per day Over 80 of Americans have adequate intake of vitamin D from skin exposed to sunshine and eating foods containing it such as fatty fish eggs and fortified foods like milk juic-es and cereal Though it is uncommon for individuals to have a high intake of vitamin D it is important to note that an excess of any type of nutrient can have toxic effects With colon cancer being the third most common cancer in America not including skin cancers it is understandable that researchers are searching for its pre-vention and higher survival rates among individuals who have been diagnosed The specific cause of colon cancer is unknown but factors that increase risk are a mix of genetics age diet and weight Throughout several studies we have seen that individuals with high vitamin

D levels have a lower risk for developing colon cancer and if diagnosed a better survival rate When a cancerous tumor develops it contains not only cancer cells but also an array of other cells These include immune systems cells also known as T cells which fight against cancerous cells limiting their duplication and killing them Therefore anything that helps to boost your T cells assists in prevention and a higher survival rate While an individual cannot change their age or genetics one can reduce risk by making healthy lifestyle choices that include daily exercise less red meat and alcohol a healthy diet and vitamins More research needs to be conducted as the data available does not suffice to answer questions of intake duration and benefit There are many new randomized trials being conducted including two phase I trials by researchers to test chemopreven-tion with vitamin D for colorectal lung and prostate cancers Dr Johl is a Medical Oncologist with Diablo Valley Oncology amp Hematology Medical Group He sees patients in Pleasant Hill and Brentwood Join Dr Johl and other medical experts at an educational event fo-cusing on the unique issues of patients with colon cancer Q amp A session to follow March 25 6pm at the Cancer Support Community 3276 McNutt Ave Walnut Creek CA 94597 For more information call 925-677-5041

terparts Therefore we require lengthier care as we age Women provide care and assume responsibility for our familyrsquos health and welfare by caring for our elderly parents an ill spouse and sometimes even an adult child While men tend to have more acute health episodes that lead to earlier more rapid deaths women tend to have more chronic diseases that impair mobility lead-ing to a need for long-term care The facts suggest a compelling reason to consider long-term care insurance March also means we celebrate St Pat-rickrsquos Day Growing up in an Irish family it confused me the first time someone asked rdquoWhen is St Patrickrsquos Dayrdquo To me that was like asking ldquoWhen is the Fourth of Julyrdquo Typically it is understood that green is the color of the day but did you know that St Patrickrsquos color was originally blue So what color will you be wearing on March 17 Colleen Callahan Insurance Services is lo-cated in Pleasant Hill Contact her at 925-363-5433 or ccallahancallahaninsurancecom

BY JIM BONATO Following a major earthquake the US Department of Labor estimates that 40 of small businesses affected by that quake will not reopen Fur-thermore it estimates that the average daily loss for a small business that must close its doors to recover from a quake is $3000 a day Unless your business can with-stand such an impact - and few can - it is essential to address the three most critical potential risks identified in last monthrsquos column your physical facility data and files and employees Facility structural issues include proper anchoring of walls exterior brick veneer suspended space heat-ers and HVAC equipment overhead piping and fire suppression sprinkler heads suspended ceilings and unan-chored overhead lighting Adequately securing these components is best handled by consulting a licensed professional His time is well worth the investment in keeping your business open and flourishing after a major quake There are also smart inexpensive and sensible solutions business own-ers can do themselves using simple straps to attach internal equipment such as computers printers and copi-ers to desks and counters attaching shelving file cabinets pictures and displays to walls and using latches to secure drawers - all inexpensive and readily-available self-help devices By storing heavy items on lower shelves keeping stacked boxes out of aisles and exit paths and locking file cabi-nets and storage cabinets when not in use your business (and employees) can be well on the way to coming through an earthquake safely and in good shape If access to your computers files and records is lost a business inter-ruption plan that minimizes poten-

tial downtime can help you quickly resume business operations after a quake or major fire The US Depart-ment of Labor quotes ldquo93 of busi-nesses that suffer a significant data loss are out of business within 5 yearsrdquo A vital addition to daily business operations is backing up computer files to a thumb drive disk or ldquocloudrdquo storage enterprise If files are backed up to a thumb drive or disk they need to be routinely taken and stored offsite where they can be easily accessed if ever needed Important documents like lease agreements insurance policies and legal documents can be scanned and made part of a daily backup system eliminating the panic of wondering where those documents might be and whether they survived Customer supplier and employee contact lists are also critical business assets to store on a backup device Needless to say employees are a businessrsquos most important asset Keeping employees safe during a ldquobusiness hoursrdquo earthquake is vital to resuming post-earthquake operations promptly Items stored beneath desks prevent employees from safely taking steps to ldquoDROP COVER and HOLD ONrdquo Every business must have first aid sup-plies and they should be stored where they can be reasonably accessed Cuts from broken glass would need to be bandaged broken limbs from falling objects would need to be immobilized with splints and everyone should know how to recognize and treat vic-tims for shock Business owners should encourage employees to have basic disaster kits in their bottom drawers that include water energy bars a flash-light a whistle and comfortable shoes The website wwwreadygov has lots of other great suggestions Now that yoursquore ready next monthrsquos article will focus on post-earthquake activities ndash getting back into the saddle Jim Bonato is the Pleasant Hill CERT Program Manager

SUMMER INTENSIVES

Core Strength to take your game to the next level

BY TONYA AMOS If you shift your attention to your upper body you may notice your shoulders are hiked up towards your ears The neck and shoulders are the perfect bridge between our think-ing mind and our working body Our sedentary chair culture inclines us to overuse these muscles with poor body mechanics which can cause muscular and joint pain as well as headaches A combination of deep breathing core strengthening gentle stretching of the neck and chest upper back strength-ening and self massage go a long way to change the tension pattern in this part of the body Here are some small tweaks that can help keep your neck and shoulders happybull Improve your posture Unhealthy posture creates a painful distribution of weight in the body bull Get a headset so that yoursquore not tempted to hold a phone between your ear and shoulder bull Lighten your heavy purse or back-pack bull Make sure your bra fits well bull Adjust your keyboard and computer screen bull Use a work chair that has arm rests bull Stop sleeping on your stomach so you arenrsquot lying on a rotated neck bull Create a neck cradle by placing a

rolled hand towel on your pillow bull If you have numbness tingling or a loss of strength in your neck or arms (or beyond) see your doctor and trusted chiropractor Sitting at a desk all day with your arms in front of you takes a lot of strength and uses the same muscles repetitively Remember to keep mov-ing throughout your day Getting out of your chair hourly shifting focus tak-ing a walk and stretching is great cross training to reverse the chair-shaped habits that cause neck and shoulder pain Building well-balanced strength flexibility and healthy body mechanics will help you feel great and yoursquoll soon be able to release the ldquoweight of the worldrdquo Tonya Marie Amos owns Aspire Pilates Center in Concord For more in-formation please call (925) 680-4400 or go to wwwAspirePilatesCentercom
