Larry began his wine making at the age of six years old helping his Grandfather Futanato in his cellar in San Francisco for the families private enjoyment.

Today, although Larry is third generation, he is the first generation to take the wine making technique

to the market commercially. Our wines are nurtured and meticulously cared for from harvest through the bottling process. We use all-natural methods.

Larry & Lisa’s goal is to honor their daughter Amanda who passed away at the age of twentytwo in January of 2007. She was our hero and lived a short but very meaningful life. We donate to the Make A Wish Foundation annually in her honor.

Please join the community to celebrate the opening of the “New” Tasting Room for Kissed by An Angel Winery, located at 75 Amanda Olivio Mt. Hermon Rd at Pinnacle Pass in Scotts Valley. The event is from 5 – 7 p.m. Join us to enjoy the award winning wines and small bites.

Business & Grief Conference

Creating Supportive & Inclusive Workplaces

T

Hosted by Hospice of Santa Cruz County

he grief caused by the death of loved ones, divorce or major life events costs businesses in the U.S. more than $100 billion annually according to a 2003 report by the Grief Recovery Institute.

Lost productivity and on-the-job errors make up $37.6 billion of that, with individuals and workplaces significantly underestimating the time it takes for someone to move past mourning. Although grief is an inevitable part of life, it is frequently a culturally taboo topic, particularly in the workplace.

“The Business and Grief Conference: Creating Supportive & Inclusive Workplaces” is a great opportunity for local business leaders, human resource professionals, managers and organizational leaders to learn how to integrate thoughtful resources into the workplace and develop best practices to address employee loss and grief.

Hospice of Santa Cruz County will host this important conference on

Tuesday, May 7th at The Borina Family Center for Compassionate Care in Watsonville from 9:00am – 1:30pm.

The cost is $45 and includes lunch.

C a r l a Fernandez, CoFounder of The Dinner Party will keynote and share key principles for creating supportive workplaces in life after loss. Carla leads The Dinner

LUMIERE COLLECTION Exquisite and feminine, complete with center diamonds 245-Y Mt. Hermon Road Scotts Valley, CA (831) 438-1844 www.santacruzgold.com

Party’s workplace programs and will share her story and her transformational, nationally recognized work in helping young adults turn isolating experiences of grief into sources of meaningful connection.

“One key step employers can take is to learn ways to ease the conversation by cultivating a greater

understanding of grief itself and how we all react to it in our own way,” says Cindi Gray, LCSW, Director of Grief Support for Hospice of Santa Cruz County.

This conference will support you in learning how to plan ahead for the inevitability of loss and cultivate a workplace culture where this very normal experience can be understood and supported.

Notes from the Goose Man

A

W. David Watkins, CLU

s statistics will reveal, it happens all too often, an unexpected illness or injury occurs and the income we live off — the money that pays our mortgage or rent, that buys our food and that goes to other expenses — disappears, and it doesn’t really make too much difference if the disability lasts a month or goes on five years or longer.

The loss of an income will usually place a great strain on the ability to handle essential expenses. In fact, more foreclosures occur from someone becoming disabled that someone dying!

As an insurance, agent I know firsthand how important it is to protect what’s

important to people. And few things are more important to working individuals and their families than financial security.

A friend’s story Not too long ago, I was talking to one of my friends about his financial security.

Good disability specialist that I am. I asked him a few questions — things like how he’d continue to pay his personal daily living expenses (food, rent, etc.) if he were unable to work for any length of time because of a disabling injury or sickness, whether he knew how much money would still come in each month following a disability: and from what source it would come.

I shared some stats. For instance, I told

him that if someone is between the ages of 35 and 65, their chances of being unable to work for 90 days or more because of a disability are between 30% and 35%. And while it is true that some people can rely on disability benefits from their employers and/or the government, for a great many workers — too many, in fact — income stops when work stops!

I as an agent, know — but he didn’t — that policies can be designed with several options. One option — the best in my mind — lets insured get more coverage even if they become uninsurable after taking out the policy.

I further explained that disability insurance helps protect a family from financial catastrophe by providing income to help meet daily expenses, and can come in various forms — one of a variety of employer-paid (we call it group disability) products: government-sponsored programs that generally are cost-free (but taxable) to the worker: and private policies, paid for by the insured, that protect their income when no other applicable coverage exists or when available programs do not adequately meet their needs.

As fate would have it, a couple of days before the scheduled meeting, he had a ter-

rible accident. Thankfully, he lived through the accident. But he broke his neck, which was expected to put him out of work for at least 12 to 14 months.

He told me he only had enough money saved up for a couple months of living expenses. We know that, in his situation, getting any kind of loan would be nearly impossible. And without one, he would be facing a foreclosure down the road.

He was disabled himself 1995 to 2005 (Age 55 to 65) and fortunately owned a personal noncancelable disability insurance policy and received $1,328,000 in Total Monthly Benefits to keep his family from poverty.

Please locate your home or business on the schedule at svwd.org and minimize water use between 8 am and 4 pm on your flushing day.

Flushing removes sediment from pipelines to maintain water quality. Yellow to brown discoloration may occur from dislodged sediment. Cloudy to milky discoloration may occur from entrained air. Flushing may cause varying water pressure. The water is safe to drink and complies with CA Department of Public Health standards.

If your water appears discolored, then flush from a cold-water fixture as far away from your water meter as possible and let the water run until clear. This could take 5-10 minutes.

Do not use a hot water tap to flush, as this will draw sediment into your hot water heater. Please abstain from doing any laundry during the day of flushing and make sure your water is clear before running your washing machine.
