From The Desk Of...The CEOCommunity Character

When asked to name our favorite restaurant, cafe, or shop, it’s typically a unique local business. These are businesses that define our sense of place, but we often forget their survival depends on our patronage. Local owners, typically having invested much of their life savings in their businesses, have a natural interest in the community’s long-term health.

Community-based businesses are essential to charitable endeavors, and their owners frequently serve on local boards and support numerous causes. Yes, some chains give back to towns in which they do business, and not all local businesses are exemplary models. However, the overall impacts are clear: locally owned businesses play a vital role in our community that big box stores rarely do.

For long-term community progress, a conceptual change is also necessary. We must consciously plan the future with rules that will encourage the values we want reflected in the character of our communities. And each time we spend

a dollar, we would do well to weigh the full value of our choices, not solely to ourselves immediately, but for the future we want for our hometowns.

Grapefully Yours,

Karen Spann - CEO

TIMELY FEATURE

Burning Fat Matters More Than Losing WeightWhen it comes to losing weight, most Americans are impatient, seeking to shed pounds as quickly as possible. But many traditional diet and exercise plans often lead to disappointment and frustration -- and can even make you less healthy.

The problem may stem from the fact that basically every diet tells us we need to lose weight. But for most people, it’s more important to focus on ways to accelerate fat loss, rather than weight loss.

“Many conventional diets and popular exercise routines can actually make you fatter and more frustrated,” say Dian Griesel, co-author with her brother Tom Griesel of the new diet and fitness book “TurboCharged.” “The only thing any of us wants to lose is excess body fat, not our bones, muscle, water or other essentials. Yet, these are what typically

deteriorate or are lost in most diets focused on ‘weight’ loss.”

The problem starts with how we are all told to measure success. A standard weight measuring scale gives little information. Someone can actually be very lean with a well-hydrated and muscular body, yet they may weigh in at a higher number than someone of the same height that is actually fatter. After all, muscle is denser than fat.

“Throw away your traditional scale,” says Tom Griesel. “The only relevant measurement is your body fat percentage. This can be easily calculated with a neck and waist measurement for men, and neck, waist and hip measurements for women.” Interestingly, even if you are not overweight, a waist measurement of over 33 inches, regardless of your weight, increases health risks like cardiovascular disease.

A healthy lean male should have a body fat percentage in the 8 to 18 percent range, and a healthy female between 16 and 24 percent. The younger you are, the lower the acceptable healthy range. To find out your body fat percentage, enter your measurements into the free body

fat calculator designed by the U.S. Navy, available at www.turbocharged.us.com.

The primary reason for excess fat is often improper diet along and a lack of activity. Stress complicates things further by triggering release of the hormone cortisol that causes the liver to produce excess sugar. The excess sugar triggers hunger, so we’re more likely to eat more when stressed and, as a result, gain more fat.

The Griesels recommend a diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, meats and fish. They also suggest you gradually increase your overall activity level. Walking is a great way to reduce fat and improve your overall health, but so is cleaning your home, chasing your kids, washing your car or gardening. Activity is activity, whether you call it exercise, running errands or having fun.

The most important thing is that you put together a plan that’s best for you -- one that helps you lose fat, not muscle, while living a fuller, more active life.

PRUDENTIAL REALTY

Short Sale? Modification? Foreclosure?These are the three questions many of us are asking in the current economy.. The answer, however, is a very individual decision. Which choice is best for you depends on a variety of factors including your long term goals, the amount you are “upside down” in comparison to loan amount and market value.

Many more lenders are now offering modifications to homeowners in distress. These are generally what I consider more of a temporary solution as the banks seldom offer principal reductions. Usually the bank will offer to lower you payment over a fixed period of time. The problem with these terms is that without a principle reduction you are not building equity. In today’s market where a home’s value may be upside down or have a negative equity of over 70%, current appreciation projections show it would take years just to break even on the balance of the loan. This makes your situation like a long term lease.

Foreclosure or simply walking away from the home is another option. There are, of course, pros and cons to this approach. The legal repercussions can vary depending on each individual’s situation. California is a non-recourse state and has what is called a one action rule, which basically states that if your homes is foreclosed and sold by the trustee that is the only recourse for the lender. Which means, generally speaking, you can walk away with little or no legal consequence. These rules can apply to primary homes and second or investment property. I would definitely advise anyone seeking foreclosure to seek legal advice for their individual scenarios.

If you are considering a default, I highly suggest you look into a short sale as an option. Choosing a short sale will put you back in control of your life and when you need to move. A short sale is when the borrower/owner sells a property during a pre-foreclosure process. It is called a short sale because the owner will sell the property “short” of the balance owed on the note not, because it is quick. Because a short sale is perceived as a proactive choice by the borrower, the credit compiling agencies tend to score it higher than a foreclosure or a deed-in-lieu.

I would always advise my clients to seek advice from an attorney under bankruptcy

protection as well. Many homeowners have incurred a substantial amount of debt in this economy and a bankruptcy may be a good option to help you afford to keep your home by eliminating burdensome debt. Although legally you may not need to pursue a short sale after the bankruptcy, in regard to credit building it is still a good option. Let me be clear, I am not advocating to anyone to ignore their financial obligations. What I am saying is that you should look at your own situation and make the decision that is best for YOU and your family and not the bank. It is very important that you should be informed about your options and possible consequences.

Remember to always seek legal and tax advice before making any decisions and if you have any questions or need more information please call, and let me help you make the best real estate decisions.Loan modification, Short Sale or Strategic Default. Which one is right for you? Call me today for a no obligation one hour consultation to discuss and compare your options.

WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?It is currently about 10:00 pm on a beautiful Thursday night. I just got back from visiting Historic Downtown Brentwood where they have just started their downtown Thursday night festivities again. With most of the reconstruction finished and our future Civic Center taking shape, the general conversations included the new face lift that Brentwood has undertaken in the past year. Even the north entrance to downtown will have a new look by the time school starts and this publication has hit the mailboxes, which includes new street scapes and a beautiful entrance to Liberty High School. With summer under way and all this talk of renovation, it is a perfect time to look in on a local business that can bring new life to your home, apartment or business.

Morris Tile & Construction Co. has been in business since 1974, which even this snoop can figure out is 37 years of experience. I was fortunate enough to talk with a recent client of theirs who claims there is no one better in the industry and they were more than pleased with the work that was done. Now, I am sure many of you, including

myself, have hired a contractor to do some kind of job and found that you held your breath during the entire process. According to this happy customer, this was the best decision they have ever made and wished they would have done it sooner.

Although their name says “Tile” company, there is no job to big or small for them to take on. They do decks, floors, living room & kitchen remodels, overhangs, apartments, bathrooms and even the smallest task of fixing a plumbing leak under a sub-floor. And get this, the estimate is free. This counts two points in my book, as nothing these days is free. But, Morris Tile & Construction Co. not only gives you a free estimate, but will beat any written estimate from any competitor. Now, that adds two more points. The thing I liked best about talking on the phone with a representative from the office, they are cordial and willing to answer any question you might have about your project or their reputation.

If you check out this issue of the Grapevine, you will find their current ad that gives you 10% off any competitor’s written bid and a bathroom remodel for $3000. Now I know I have your attention! Can you imagine finally fixing that bathroom that has been on your “To Do” list for years? All you have to do is make the call, get the free estimate, shop around, do your homework, save 10% and start decorating with a new set of bath towels.

Morris Tile & Construction Co. can be contacted at 925-963-2822 or 925-778-4074 or visit them at www.morristileco.com

When I do my research during my monthly assignment, I try to give our readers as much info as I can about the business so they will consider giving them a try while shopping locally. That being said, I will quote their mission statement in this article as I feel it says it all. “Morris Tile & Construction Co. strives to provide the best price and quality workmanship possible. They employ only licensed contractors trained in specific fields of work and use the highest quality materials available and provide work in a timely fashion.” In talking with their customer, this is in fact the truth and they have referred several friends to their company. The way I figure it is if you still like your contractor after the work is done and refer them to your friends, they really must be good.

So, Morris Tile & Construction Co., this snoop is referring you to our readers. It is nice to know that the quality and workmanship you deliver still exists and fortunately for us, you are local and come with a genuine care for the customer. The Monthly Grapevine gives you five gold stars for your many years of dedication to the building industry and going the extra mile to deliver quality craftsmanship. Who will be snooped next? It could be you!

GET YOURGARDEN GROWING

DIG was founded in June 1988 by Pat Moore. It started with a membership of about fourteen and has grown to one hundred at present. Members come from all over east county and elsewhere. Anyone is eligible to join and the dues are $15.00 per year.

Our purpose is to encourage interest in gardening through education and the beautification of the community. The mission of DIG is donating garden books, tapes and videos to the local library, providing scholarships to local students, hosting informational speakers and participating in the community gardening projects. Our annual fundraiser/plant sale consists of 10,000 plants. (Annuals and perennials, flowers, trees, herbs, tomatoes, cacti and succulents. These are all grown by the members propagating what we have planted.) For more information call Leslie Servin (925)634-4088 or [email protected].
