Guidelines for gifting

by Dave Roberts Staff Writer A proposal to form a civilian board to provide oversight of the police department and help select a new police chief appears all but dead after numerous residents spoke against it at Tuesday’s City Council meeting and council members declined to comment due to litigation against the police and the city.

Of the dozen people who spoke against the oversight board, the most powerful and poignant comments came from Phyllis Lasater Loya, mother of Larry Lasater, the 35-year-old Pittsburg police officer gunned down in Antioch in April of 2005 while attempting to apprehend two Antioch robbers.

“My son’s blood was sacrificed to preserve the safety of this community, of the community of Pittsburg,” she told the council. “I am begging you to not to let his sacrifice be in vain by hamstringing the police department by forming this proposed civilian police board.

Town hall interrogators grill Garamendi

by Dave Roberts Staff Writer Congressman John Garamendi held his first town hall meeting in Antioch on Saturday, a month after being elected to serve out the remaining year of Ellen Tauscher’s 10th Congressional District term, and found himself on the firing line.

Hostile, skeptical East County residents peppered him with questions about runaway deficit spending in Washington, D.C., coercive health care legislation and an expensive energy plan to fight global warming, among other issues. Their verbal jabs were met with applause from many in the three-quarters-full City Council chambers.

Garamendi, who supports increased federal spending and regulation, voted for the House health care bill and supports legislation to curb greenhouse gases, stood his ground throughout the two-hour meeting. He listed a variety of national woes in his introductory remarks, but said his main focus for now is helping reduce the nation’s 10-percent unemployment rate.

“There are a lot of things going on in America: issues of wars,

Also important is the issue of jobs. My immediate goal as your member of Congress is to get the economy moving long term, and short term, putting people to work.”

In addition to continuing to fund the extension of unemployment insurance and the COBRA

health insurance subsidy for laid-off workers, Garamendi supports reenactment of the Great Depressionera Civilian Conservation Corps program to provide government jobs to the unemployed for public works projects.

He also supports spending more on infrastructure projects such as widening Highway 4, bringing eBART to Antioch and building a ferry terminal in Antioch. Only 4

percent of the $787 billion federal stimulus passed in February went for infrastructure, yet that spending has accounted for 25 percent of the jobs created, he said. Spending $60 billion more for such projects would create more than 1.5 million jobs, he said.

But Tom Young, the first resident to speak, provided a simpler, less expensive formula for reducing unemployment: “To put people to work all you need to do is cut the corporate income tax to 10 percent, shorten the permit time to get businesses going, start building nuclear plants – drill, baby, drill – and get the heck out of the way. Because America will put itself to work.”

Another speaker, Richard Weaver, voiced concern about the proposed $500 billion cut to Medicare in the Democrat-sponsored health care legislation. Garamendi responded that the only thing being cut is the subsidy to insurance companies for Medicare Part D coverage. An Antioch nurse criticized the health bill for making it tougher for doctors to receive adequate compensation, an assertion that Garamendi denied. He also told Betty see Garamendi page 30A

Quick thinking saves pets from house fire

by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer

A funny thing happened to Zak Owen and Andrew Kegle on their way to a community service appointment last week. A split-second decision by the Freedom High School seniors resulted in the fulfillment of their volunteer requirements, but not in the way they had expected.

As they were driving down Neroly Road on their way to log some service hours at Bridge Marina Yacht Club, the two students spotted smoke coming from a nearby residence.

“We were on our way (to Bridge Marina) when my friend (Kegle) noticed smoke that looked like more than just a fireplace coming out of the house,” said Owen. “So we pulled in and he called 911. After that, the adrenaline just kicked in.”

Owen and Kegle arrived at the home of Helen and Robert Dominguez – who were not home at the time – in the 5200 block of Neroly Road at around 4 p.m. As neighbors yelled to the boys that there were three dogs inside the house (two pit bulls and a herding dog), Kegle kicked down the back door of the house and ran inside with Owen.

“I didn’t really think about it,” said Kegle.

“I just saw the smoke and kicked it (the door) in.”

Once inside, the knee-high smoke made it difficult for the boy’s to navigate through the house. “There was a lot of smoke, and once we got inside we found two of the dogs passed out – I thought one of them was dead,” said Owen.

“They were stiff and unresponsive. Around

Owen and Andrew Kegle, right, along with Christiene Mecham, center, rushed into the one-alarm blaze (the family was not at home) and rescued their three dogs. that time, a neighbor came in and found the third dog and carried it out.”

That neighbor was Christiene Mecham, owner of the adjacent property. “I grabbed the puppy and started giving it mouth-to-mouth,” she said. “I was thumping and pumping and crying; it was crazy.”

Firefighters arrived on the scene about 20 minutes later.

“Once we came outside, the fire department was there and they took over,” said Owen. “They got the dogs to open their eyes and you could see smoke coming out of their (the dogs) mouths. It was kind of scary.”

puppy to some oxygen, and the other dog, also on oxygen, was driven by Kegle and Owen to a veterinarian’s office, where he was later released to the Dominquez family.

The two younger dogs have since recovered, but the older pit bull is still suffering from smoke inhalation in conjunction with prior medical problems.

“When we arrived at the house there were two dogs there that were being assisted by bystanders,” said Contra Costa Fire Battalion Chief Brian Helmick. “I wouldn’t say the dogs were in full respitory arrest, but they did have labored breathing.”

According to Helmick, the accidental fire

appears to have started in the kitchen, but as of press time, the cause was undetermined. In the meantime, the Dominguezes – mother, father and two children – are living with relatives until their insurance company can secure them a rental home. Damage to the house is currently estimated at $175,000 and repairs are expected to take from three to six months.

Considering how the story might have ended, the family remains upbeat, optimistic and grateful. “Oh yes, it could have been worse; another half hour and we would have been at home,” said Robert. “We are so grateful to the boys and neighbors who helped us. They were very brave.”

Helmick agreed that the combined efforts of all involved allowed for the happy ending.

“I applaud them (the neighbors) for taking the efforts to remove the animals from the house.

It was a real community collaborative effort and the whole thing had a positive result. It was fortunate that the family and animals were all OK.” Owen and Kegle never did perform their community service duties at the yacht club that day, but thanks to neighbors who notified the school of the student’s heroics, both teens will receive full credit for the remainder of their community service hours.

“That’s pretty cool,” said Kegle. “I’m glad it all worked out. It was kind of crazy, but I’d definitely do it all again.”

A fund for the Dominguez family is expected to be established within the next few weeks. For information or to make a donation, contact Christiene Mecham at 925-753-1056.

Kids Helping Kids still saving lives

by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer

Next month, Eric Peasah of the International Organization for Migration plans to rescue 25 Ghanaian children from human traffickers and deliver them into the arms of their families.

Next week, Adams Middle School student Tyler Page, on behalf of the Kids Helping Kids (KHK) organization, will effectively save the lives of two of those 25 children when he hands over a check to Peasah for $10,000.

“I’m really excited to see him again because he’s family to us now,” said Tyler, 12. “I feel really good about giving him this check because it means even more children taken away from those terrible conditions will get to be back with their families soon.”

Tyler, along with the other kids from the KHK group, will present Peasah with the check on Dec. 19 at the Streets of Brentwood at 5 p.m. The Brentwoodbased group started the nonprofit organization in 2007 after Tyler saw Peasah on “Oprah” and was touched by the plight of these children half a world away.

“Seeing the kids with bloated bodies, eating one tiny meal a day and thinking that this is not what a kid’s life is supposed

to be, overwhelmed me with shock and sadness.”

Since then the Pages have remained in close contact with Peasah and have made the KHK Project Ghana an ongoing mission, with more than $50,000 in total donations so far.

“They have a real desire (to help) said Peasah. “And when I see these kids wanting to do something about it, it’s quite something. They’re very empathetic.”

In many regions of the world, human trafficking remains big business, and in Ghana, children as young as 4 are sold by naive parents – sometimes for as little as $20 – who believe their children are being offered a chance at a better life.

“These fishermen trick the parents into thinking that they’ll teach them a trade, but of course, that’s not what happens,” said Laura Page, Tyler’s mother and the executive director of KHK. “It is hard to believe, but it does exist.”

So what Peasah and his organization do is track the children and eventually, if possible, negotiate for their release. The process can often take months to complete, and costs somewhere in the range of $4,800 per child. Once released, the children undergo months of rehabilitation and counseling before returning to their parents.

Members of the Kids Helping Kids organization join Eric Peasah of the International Organization for Migration during his visit to East County last year. Peasah will be in town again next week to accept a donation for his organization from the Brentwood-based group.

But for approximately $240 U.S dollars per year, endangered children can be provided support from organizations such as IOM on a continuous basis, thus ensuring protection from traffickers.

“This is a difficult job,” said Peasah.

“I combat trafficking all over the world – not just Ghana – and unfortunately, it is a full-time job. But groups like Kids Helping Kids make a difference in many ways.”

For more information, call KHK at 925-759-4806 or visit www.kidzhelpingkids.org or the International Organization for Migration Web site at www.iom.int.

KHK is working on another fundrais-

er this season, also at the Streets of Brentwood. From now until the end of the holiday, Santa’s Winter Forest tree stand (next to the ice rink) will donate a percentage of sales from its trees to KHK. John Markham, who brings Christmas trees from his family home in Washington each year to Brentwood, said this is the second season he has donated to KHK. “I just think it’s a nice thing to do for the community,” said Markham. “This is a great community and we are happy to do what we can to help, especially at this time of year.”

‘Funny in Farsi’ author speaks

by Samie Hartley Staff Writer It’s not every day that a celebrity comes to Brentwood – let alone mingles with the locals.

But last Saturday, author Firoozeh Dumas stopped by the Los Medanos College Brentwood Center to chat with fans about her book “Funny in Farsi: A Memoir Of Growing Up Iranian In America,” which hundreds of East County residents read as part of Brentwood’s annual CityRead program last month.

“Funny in Farsi” chronicles Dumas’ upbringing in the United States and the struggles she faced as an Iranian immigrant. During her presentation, Dumas discussed her childhood, elaborating on stories from her book which detail her challenges to assimilate into American culture after her family immigrated to Southern California when she was 7.

She told the audience of about 80 about what it was like to go to school and not know the language, and how her family used trips to the grocery store to learn about American culture.

“We didn’t know that Americans love cats and dogs but how we figured this out is that in the grocery store there is a whole aisle of food for just cats and dogs,” she said. “There are all these categories, so my dad would say, ‘In my next life, I want to be a dog in America.”

Firoozeh Dumas, author of Brentwood CityRead 2009 selection “Funny in Farsi,” signs copies of her latest book for fans who attended her presentation at the Los Medanos College Brentwood Center on Saturday.

Dumas decided to write down the stories of her childhood as a way to create a book of memories for her children, but as she put pen to paper, she realized that while her stories were often humorous, they contain an underlying truth that although people come from different backgrounds, they have much in common.

“I decided to join a writers group, and what you’d do is read your stories and then the group would critique your work. But for me, when I was done reading, people would raise their hands and say things like ‘Your story about going to camp reminds see Author page 7A

Dance event to support 4-year-old

by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer While the family of Aaron Tanner continues to pray for a Christmas miracle, the community remains vigilant in their support of the 4-year old Brentwood boy who is awaiting a heart and kidney transplant.

“Everyone has been so amazing through all of this,” said Aaron’s mom, Elizabeth.

“We’re very grateful.”

Since July, East County communities have hosted numerous fundraisers for the family in an effort to offset medical and living expenses. The next event will be held Dec. 19 from 5 to 10:30 p.m. at the Shadow Lakes Golf Club in Brentwood. The evening is billed as a night of dancing and music and includes a buffet dinner of chicken, tri-tip, salad and drinks. Tickets for the event are $25, and additional donations are welcome.

Toni Todd, owner of the Red Door Dance Studio in Brentwood, has been organizing the evening’s entertainment, which will include a wide variety of dance demonstrations, including belly dancing, ballroom, salsa, rhumba, swing, hula and meringue.

“We’re very excited about this evening,” said Todd. “I think we all feel passionate about this family and this little boy and we just want to do what we can to help this family in need.”

Aaron was born with a heart that functions on only the right side. Doctors discovered last summer that Aaron – who has

undergone seven open-heart surgeries since he was born – needed a simultaneous heart and kidney transplant. Renal failure has placed too much stress on the boy’s heart, and without the rare double-transplant surgery, Aaron’s chances of survival are low.

Elizabeth and Aaron are currently living in Los Angeles, where Aaron has been placed at the top of the donor recipient list at UCLA Medical Center. Doctors say a proper match could take as long as four to six months, but the Tanners remain hopeful the surgery will come sooner.

Amid the Tanner’s mounting medical bills not completely covered by insurance, the family is also struggling with the possibility of foreclosure. A loan modification snafu in

October has placed the Tanners in arrears with Bank of America to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars.

California State Sen. Mark DeSaulnier’s office has stepped up to help solve the problem, but Elizabeth said she has yet to talk to a live voice at B of A. “We have heard nothing from B of A,” said Elizabeth. “I’ve contacted them a few times and my mom has called as well, but so far we’re haven’t heard back. We’re not getting any threatening letters, but we sure would like to get this resolved; I’d rest a lot easier.”

But for now, as always, the focus remains on Aaron, who is adjusting fairly well to his daily dialysis treatments and enjoying the extra bit of freedom that living outside of the

hospital provides.

“We’re about three minutes away from the hospital and it’s a lot better than being there all the time,” said Elizabeth. “Aaron’s back to doing his normal things like coloring, cutting and play dough. Mark (Aaron’s dad) has been driving down every weekend and bringing the boys (Aaron’s brothers) when he can. Right now we’re just trying to do everything we can to be together.”

And the community continues to come together for the Tanners.

“We’re all in difficult financial situations right now, but we really wanted to help this family,” said Elizabeth Poole, a Brentwood resident who is helping to organize the event.

“We came up with the idea of the dance event and it’s been going very well. I cannot offer my money, but I feel, and hope, that this is a way I can help as a volunteer.”

Elizabeth Tanner said she continues to be overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from individuals and organizations she sometimes doesn’t even know.

“It’s so unbelievable the people that continue to help us,” she said. “The lady that’s organizing this event (Poole) I have never met.

She’s called me a few times and I know she’s organized similar events but I don’t know her personally. I can’t believe the goodness of people like her.”

The reservation deadline for the Dec. 19 dinner is Dec. 11. For more information, call 925-522-1014 or 925-684-4615.

Author from page 5A me of when I was 14 and went to baseball camp.’ Or after I read a story about my uncle Nematollah, someone would say, ‘Your uncle Nematollah – he’s just like my aunt Stella.’ … They didn’t have the same background as me, but they related to my stories.”

The author, who lives in Palo Alto, said she became especially passionate about getting her stories published after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, as her book was a way to show a conventional Middle Eastern family living in America.

But despite her book’s positive message, literary agents to whom she sent her stories weren’t receptive to the idea.

At her Brentwood appearance, Dumas shared her struggles to get published in a post-9/11 society and how she’d go to any length to get her manuscript in the hands of important people – including the time she approached Ms. Magazine founder Gloria Steinem in a bathroom at the Four Seasons in San Francisco. “I let her wash her hands first, of course.”

It took Dumas months to get an agent, but all the trouble was worth it.

“Funny in Farsi” was published in 2003.

On Saturday, Dumas proudly announced that her stories were being turned into a TV show for ABC. Barry Sonnenfeld, who directed “Men in Black” and “Get Shorty,” will direct and executive produce the pilot episode early next year.

“They’re auditioning Middle Eastern and Middle Eastern-looking actors for the pilot next week, and I got an e-mail on

COMMUNITY

Facebook and someone said, ‘It’s the first time I’m trying out for something that’s not for the part of Afghani Villager or Terrorist.’ So that’s good, and hopefully it will actually make in on air and there’ll be a show out there about a Middle Eastern person that’s not scary.”

If ABC decides to order more episodes of the show, the series could be on the air as soon as next September.

Following her hour-long presentation, Dumas hung around to sign copies of her second book, “Laughing Without an Accent,” recently released in paperback.

Diane Alexander, secretary of the Friends of the Brentwood Library, which sponsored the event, said she’s been a fan of Dumas for several years and was excited to meet her.

“I have read both her books and really enjoy them,” Alexander said. “She shows how absurd it is to judge people by their nationality or religion without preaching or complaining.”

Mary Lou Klovee, president of the Friends of the Brentwood Library, agreed that the humorous dimension of Dumas’ stories makes them an ideal read. “We received a lot of positive feedback from people who read the book as part of the program. ‘Funny in Farsi’ is a really uplifting story. It’s a story about hope, and it really tugs at your heartstrings no matter where you’re from.”

Copies of “Funny in Farsi” are available for checkout from the Brentwood Library, 104 Oak St. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

END OF THE YEAR TAX TIPS The end of the year is fast approaching. Now is the time to do some planning ahead to try to reduce your tax bill if you can. Here are two ideas for you to consider.

1. Pay your property tax bill in December. If your property taxes are not impounded, that means you write the checks yourself. If this is you, and you can swing it, consider paying the 2nd installment (the one due next February) before the end of this year. That could increase your deductions for the 2009 tax year.

2. Pay your January mortgage payment(s) in December. Same reason as above. This can generate an extra month’s worth of interest deduction on your taxes.

You’ll want to check with your tax professional first to see if it is more beneficial to increase your deductions this year versus next. If, for example,

you believe you will be in a lower tax bracket next year because of a reduction in income, you may want more tax breaks this year, and vice versa. If this seems backwards, consider that the higher your marginal tax rate, the more beneficial each dollar of deduction is.

This is an important consideration, because by pulling some of your 2010 deductions into 2009, you will be effectively reducing your 2010 deductions by that amount. If you do this again in 2010, you will be roughly breaking even (assuming you will be in the same tax bracket). However, due to the time value of money, I think you’d rather have the tax break THIS year versus next year.

You, Mijo, just turned your back and left it all; you couldn’t stay another day to laugh, love or play. … You have found that peace at the close of the day; your time seemed all too brief but the Man upstairs needed you and set you free.

Thinking of you, Mom, Selena, Tata, Nana and Graciela

Rehire Hyde, scratch oversight board idea Two years ago Antioch’s violent crime rate jumped 31 percent, the largest increase of any big city in California. In 2008 assaults increased another 7 percent and there were two more rapes than the year before.

Through October of this year, rapes are up 61 percent and assaults have increased another 25 percent. Two Deer Valley High students have been shot near the school since DITORIAL September, the latest occurring on Monday.

Clearly, Antioch has a significant violent crime problem. Unfortunately, the city’s thin blue line is getting stretched thinner and thinner as it fights to keep law and order in a city of more than 100,000 people. Ten community service officers, who handle a lot of the routine police work in order to free up sworn officers to respond to crimes and emergencies, have been laid off this year due to the city’s budget crisis.

Due to the limited resources, the police are required to work smarter. Since Chief Jim Hyde came on board in the summer of 2006, he has done just that by forming units like the Community Action Team and targeting problem areas in the city for increased patrols. The police department has also significantly

E

improved its outreach to the community with the Coffee with the Cops program, neighborhood cleanups and the Police Activities League’s service to at-risk youth.

So the question that Antioch residents need to ask themselves is whether this is the best time to handcuff the police and compromise their effectiveness. That is a possible outcome if the City Council approves a request by Hispanic and Democratic groups, and backed by Councilman Reggie Moore, to form a police oversight board and possibly not rehire Hyde in February after his two-month retirement to deal with a shoulder injury.

Moore and the groups might have good motives, noting that the police have been sued by several African-American women charging racial discrimination in police attempts to remove them from the Section 8 subsidized housing program. It’s unfortunate that the dispute could not have been resolved before it led to litigation. But that’s where it is now, and the justice system is going to be the best arena for settling the matter – not a police oversight board.

Besides, the city already has a civilian board, the Police Crime Prevention Commission, that regularly works with the police. The commission is mostly

derby. A great cause out on the Delta waters.

The target goal for the grandprize catch weighed 3 pounds over the second-place catch, even though each striper measured 38 and 7/8 inches long. The target length was 39 inches.

The third-place catch was 37 inches.

The prizes were $1000, $500 and $250 for first, second and third place. Near the final weigh-in, two striped bass just over 39 inches were measured.

There were approximately 375 attendees at the Saturday fish dinner.

The fish for the feed were caught and donated and some were donated from previous fishing excursions. The entry fee was $20 to fish and for the fish dinner. The event took place at the VFW Hall (Post 6435) on Wilbur and Fulton in Antioch. The East Bay’s famous Night Crawlers were the musical entertainment for the afternoon and evening of Nov. 21.

This event was started nine years ago, with proceeds going to the American Heart Association. The 2009 proceeds were partially allocated to the fund for Ally Jenkins, who had recent organ surgery. We hear that she is recovering nicely.

The first derby started very small and has grown tremendously. Each contestant could turn in one and only one striped bass aiming at the 39 inch length. And Mike “Pogo” Pereira was a one-of-a-kind guy. He could do it all. Hope to see you at the 2010

focused on the Neighborhood Watch Program, but its duties could be expanded to include looking into complaints about police misconduct. There definitely is not a need for two separate civilian groups dealing with police matters.

And the question of whether Hyde should be rehired in February is a no-brainer: of course he should be rehired. The only reason he chose to retire for the months of December and January was to save the cash-strapped city budget the cost of his salary and benefits for two months, thereby freeing up enough money to possibly prevent additional layoffs in the police department. To reward such a selfless act by hiring someone else would be cruel and unusual punishment for someone who has made great strides in improving the department.

But when it eventually comes time for the 51-yearold Hyde to retire, there’s already a process set up for residents to provide input into who the new chief should be: the public comment period at every City Council meeting. Residents can also call and e-mail council members and City Manager Jim Jakel at any time to provide their two cents on this and any other issue.

“Pogo” Striped Bass Derby!

School crossing incredulity Editor: This morning as I was leaving Bristow Middle school after dropping off my son, I saw a young man, crossing Minnesota Avenue in the crosswalk with the lights flashing, almost get hit by a motorist who was not paying attention and going much faster than the 25 mph speed limit in a school zone. The driver had to swerve to miss this young man and didn’t even stop; just kept on going.

I called the BUSD office to speak to the superintendent; however, he was unavailable. The person I spoke to asked how she could help and I explained the situation to her. I told her that we need crossing guards at these two crosswalks on Minnesota and that the flashing lights do not work.

She assured me that the district worked with the Brentwood Police Department to determine at which intersections crossing guards should be placed. She also told me something to the effect of: that while a child’s safety is important, there isn’t financial means to place crossing guards at these two crosswalks on Minnesota Avenue.

I still can’t believe I heard that!

The amount of commuter traffic on Minnesota Avenue alone should warrant crossing guards. It isn’t as

if Bristow is nestled in a neighborhood; the main entrance is on a very busy thoroughfare. While there are a number of stoplights on Minnesota Avenue, obviously it doesn’t take much to get up to 25 even 35 mph from Central Avenue to the front of the school. Our community must become more aware of how dangerous Minnesota Avenue is every school day morning.

In closing, I would like to say: God help the BUSD, the City of Brentwood and/or its agencies if it is one of my children that gets hit or almost hit in either of these two crosswalks because it has been determined that the need for crossing guards in front of Bristow Middle School is not pertinent.

• When you buy your tree, get the vendor to make a fresh cut an inch from the bottom, This will help the tree drink.

• If you buy your tree early and keep it outside, store it away from wind and sun, and keep the bottom in a bucket of water.

• Make sure your lights are safe. If you need outdoor lights, make sure the ones you buy are meant for outdoor use. Make sure your lights carry certification from a testing laboratory.

• Don’t use electric lights on a metal tree.

• Discard any strings of lights that are frayed or broken.

Christmas lights are cheap.

• Unplug your Christmas tree before you leave or go to bed.

• Don’t buy a tree that is dry and dropping needles. To check for freshness, loosely grip the end of a branch and pull your hand over it. Only a few needles should fall off.

• Make sure your tree stand holds plenty of water, and don’t let it run out.

• If your tree seems wobbly, center it in the stand more securely and redo the bolts or screws.

• If you buy an artificial tree, make sure it is fireretardant.

• Keep your tree at least 3 feet from furnaces, radiators and fireplaces.

• Try to position it near an outlet so that cords are not running long distances. Don’t place the tree where it blocks an exit.

• When Christmas is over or when the tree starts to drop needles, dispose of it.

• Keep a close eye on small children when they’re around the tree.

Many small decorations and ornaments are sharp, breakable and can be swallowed.

Something to Rave about Editor: The Delta Patriots Youth Football and Cheer organization recently wrapped up our 2009 football season.

We had a tremendous season and I wanted to thank all the parents, coaches and volunteers that helped out during the year.

But one local business really stepped up to the plate to help our team (the Rookies North) celebrate our 2009 Super Bowl victory, and I thought they should get some special mention. That would be Joey Nardone and Rave theater here in Brentwood. They went out of their way to make our end-of-the-year celebration something really magical and special. It’s great to see a local business take such an interest in the lives of our kids and really go the extra mile.

Thank you, Rave and Joey, for your generous support and hospitality.

You gave our kids a memory they will cherish for years to come!

Medicare: what you need to know Understanding health care coverage can be overwhelming. And keeping up with changes in Medicare benefits is no different.

For many people, that translates into doing nothing about updating their current coverage.

A majority (55 percent) of Medicare beneficiaries believe their health benefits will stay the same in 2010, according to the “Medicare Beneficiary Insights” poll by Suffolk University and Silverlink Communications. The poll also showed that 85 percent of Medicare beneficiaries are not currently planning to switch plans this year, and the majority will spend only minimal time (two hours or less) researching health-plan options.

But experts say it isn’t wise to blindly reenroll in existing Medicare plans. Medicare and its private sector plans typically make annual changes to medical and prescription benefits, coverage limits, consumer premiums and out-of-pocket expenses. Current users and new enrollees alike should take the time to review plan options in order to get the best coverage possible.

Make sure you know current enrollment dates. For 2009, the window is Nov. 15 through Dec. 31. Those eligible for Medicare can review and, if necessary, adjust their Medicare coverage, which consists of traditional Medicare or private-sector plan options licensed to operate in Medicare; Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D. If you do not choose new coverage, you will be automatically re-enrolled in your previous coverage.

To help you evaluate your options, Chris Hakim, the Director of eHealthMedicare.com, encourages people to answer these questions: Does my coverage match my changing health care needs?

“If you’re managing a chronic condition, like diabetes, heart disease or cancer,” says Hakim, “make sure your coverage keeps pace with your needs for new or existing medications. You also want to be sure you can continue to see your primary-care physician or specialist.” Hakim also recommends that if you’re undergoing elective surgery in the coming year, make sure it’s covered in your existing plan or your coverage.

In many cases, spouses carry the same plan. If, however, your health care needs changed this year, or if your spouse’s needs changed, be sure to review your coverage. “If you’re used to getting insurance from an employer, you’re likely to think of your health insurance as a family policy where you’re all on one plan. But Medicare allows you and your spouse to have different plans that are ‘right sized’ for each of your individual needs,” says Hakim. Choosing the right plan for your individual needs can help you save money.

Will I be able to retain my current doctors?

Check with your primary care physician, specialists and your private plan to make sure you can continue to see your doctors. Medicare’s contracted networks of doctors and hospitals are subject to change, so find out if your doctor will be in the plan.

Will my premiums and deductibles

increase?

Traditional Medicare (Parts A and B), private sector plans in the Medicare Advantage program (Part C), and the Prescription Drug (Part D) program are likely to see changes in 2010. They might result in savings – or additional costs – based on the coverage you select. Make sure you understand how these changes affect you.

Get the right prescription drug coverage.

Medicare Part D provides coverage for namebrand and generic prescriptions. Review your current medications with your doctor and ask about potential medication changes for next year. Then review Part D coverage to make sure it covers what you need.

The difference between picking a plan that’s right for you and one that isn’t could be thousands of dollars per year. Take the time now to study your choices so you can get the coverage you need next year.

If you’re changing Medicare plans, the Medicare Rights Center recommends enrolling in the new plan without disenrolling from your old one. Enroll by calling 800-MEDICARE. You will be automatically disenrolled from your previous Medicare private plan when your new coverage starts. Find out more at www.medicarerights.org.

Most people 65 and older plus some younger people with disabilities can get Medicare. If you aren’t sure you can get Medicare, call the Social Security Administration toll-free at 800-772-1213. You’ll need to provide your Social Security number and date of birth when you call.

Logan defense handcuffs Liberty girls

by Dave Roberts Staff Writer

Photo by Richard Wisdom

Bernadette Fong, seen here shooting in the second quarter, along with Corinne Costa, will provide Liberty with a formidable frontcourt this season.

Other than golfer Lauren Conder at Heritage, there was probably no East County high school girl athlete who was more dominant this fall than Liberty volleyball player Corinne Costa. The 6-foot-4-inch senior was named the Bay Valley Athletic League’s Most Valuable Player after excelling on both sides of the net, using her height and power for easy kills and effective blocks.

Unfortunately, Costa, who is headed to UCLA next year on a basketball scholarship, was unable to achieve similar domination on the basketball court in the Lions’ home and season opener last week – a 4355 loss to a speedy James Logan team that had beaten Freedom by 17 points the week prior.

Costa finished with 12 points, but was more effective on defense, blocking shots, snagging rebounds and creating turnovers. She started strong on offense with a nice hook shot on Liberty’s first possession, and notched five points in the first four minutes. But she cooled off after that, sinking only a free throw in the second quarter and a layup in the third quarter.

Costa’s teammates either weren’t able to get the ball to her in the paint, or the swarming Logan defenders made it difficult for her to do much with it when they did. In the final minutes she drove the lane for the first time, but her shot was blocked.

Asked what her team needs to do to take more advantage of a potentially powerful weapon in the form of Costa, Coach Debbi Weil said, “We’ve got to take care of the ball. We’ve got to recognize when she’s open or she’s sealed. Her and (6-foot-2 sophomore) Bernadette Fong have a great high-low game. We just didn’t

get to see a lot of it tonight because we just didn’t execute.”

Liberty actually kept up with the Colts for much of the game. The Lions led by a point at the end of the first quarter and trailed by a point at the half. But they came out flat in the second half, failing to score in the first five minutes. Logan started to pull away, leading by 11 at one point. But Liberty went on a 9-2 run, thanks to the Costa layup and Kaadzie Quaye and Ally Mackenzie taking it to the hole, and trailed by four at the end of the third quarter.

Unfortunately, the Lions ran out of gas in the fourth quarter as the speedy Colts alternated easy layups on fast breaks with three-point shots by 5-foot Camille De Leon.

“They outplayed us,” said Weil. “They came out with a lot more intensity. They improved over this last week. We watched them play Freedom. We thought we knew what was going on with them. But they came out and hit their threes like we thought they might. And we just didn’t step up to the challenge.”

She acknowledged her team’s good first half, then added, “But it takes four quarters, 32 minutes to complete a basketball game, and you have to play hard the entire time. The little things have to be taken care of.”

On the plus side, it was just the first game of the season, and Liberty lost to a very tough, scrappy team with an aggressive defense. The Lions have the potential for a very good season, especially if they can take advantage of their strong frontcourt in Costa and Fong, who finished with nine points. Quaye scored 11 points.

“Our strengths are we’ve got some depth,” said see Liberty page 28A

Wrestlers shoot it out at Freedom tournament

by Dave Roberts Staff Writer The Lou Bronzan Gym at Freedom High School resembled a six-ring circus Saturday as scores of wrestlers from 16 schools arm-barred, backpointed, brokedown, bridged, cross-faced, ducked-under, escaped, flipped, half-nelsoned, full-nelsoned, leg shot, level-changed, lifted, near-falled, penetrated, pinned, reversed, stalled, slammed, tookdown, threw, tied-up, tilted, whizzered and just generally grappled for 10 trophies in the annual Falcon Shootout.

“The tournament’s going great,” said Freedom wrestling Coach John Parsons during a brief break in the afternoon. “A lot of good wrestling. A lot of good early season matchups – us and Antioch. Antioch is potentially one of the top teams favored to win the league. So we’re seeing how we match up against Antioch. We just wrestled them real tough.”

Antioch came in second in the tournament’s Gold Division and Freedom finished fourth. James Logan was the champion and Foothill placed third.

Freedom finished second in league to

Liberty last year, with the title coming down to the heavyweight match. Liberty, which was not at the Shootout, had a big advantage last season in all-everything wrestler extraordinaire David Klingsheim, who has since moved onto pinning guys at the college level.

Deer Valley also missed Saturday’s shootout, coming in eighth out of 23 teams at the Ceres Invitational.

Parsons is looking forward to a good

season, although his team is young. Falcon veterans include heavyweight Nick Pierce; Travis Castor, a 145 pounder; Roman Garcia, a 119 pounder, who has the potential to be one of the top two guys in the section, according to Parsons; Dominic Dimercurio and Zack Wiley, “who should be section placers, hopefully state qualifiers,” said Parsons; and Austin Estrada.

“And we’ve got six or seven new guys that

are real tough but they are a little green,” said Parsons. “But they are showing today they got a lot of heart, tremendous skill. They’ve just got to put it together and make it happen.

So we’re going to be in the mix. It’s going to be fun.”

The Falcon Shootout was the first of several tournaments Freedom participates in before league action begins Jan. 13 against Heritage. Tournaments are a good opportunity for the newer wrestlers to get their feet wet in competition without the pressure of a dual meet, according to Parsons. “We’ve got some real good athletic kids from the JVs last year and some first-timers that are coming out and kind of opening some eyes for us,” he said. “So we’ve got a potential by when New Year’s rolls around to have a team that’s real solid and real competitive with anybody that we wrestle out there. That’s kind of what we are looking for.”

High school wrestling is a bit different from the pro sport. Nobody calls anybody’s mother names and no folding chairs are bashed over anyone’s head. But it requires an athleticism and toughness unmatched by see Freedom page 28A

After winning the Diablo Valley Youth Football League’s coveted Turkey Bowl on Nov. 28, the East County Lions Junior Midget football team headed to Napa to play the North Bay Youth Football League’s champion Bears from Santa Rosa.

The Bears, who had won four straight conference titles heading into the showdown and surrendered only 18 points the entire year, were dominated by the Lions from the start.

The Lions asserted their dominance on the first play from scrimmage as Justin Zapanta fired a 40-yard bullet to Sam Hin. Ivan Oseguerra, John Velasquo and Austin Solari chipped in with big offen-

The Lions won the North Coast Section final 31-8.

The Junior Pee Wee game was won by the San Ramon Tee Birds 27-6. The Pee Wee level was won by the Clayton Valley Falcons 35-0. The East County Lions won the Junior Midget game 318. And the Deer Valley Wolverines completed the DVYFC sweep, beating the Bears 33-6.

laying in its first tournament ever, the Brentwood Blast 9 Red baseball team took the championship trophy on Thanksgiving weekend at the Toys for Tots Charity Tournament at the Manteca Big League Dream complex. All 11 players contributed mightily to the Blast’s 5-0 tournament run, as they outplayed teams from Los Gatos, Tara Hills, San Mateo and Vacaville. The Blast won an exciting championship game 11-10 in extra innings.

Brentwood’s own NorCal Titans 10U Baseball Club added another championship to its resumé at the recent USSSA Toys For Tots Charity tournament held at the Field of Dreams in Manteca. The victory climaxed a torrid run in which the Titans took home eight first-place championships in their first season of competition.

The Titans stumbled at first, losing their first two tournament games to the Bulldogs out of Vacaville 7-4, and the Pleasanton Pythons 7-6 in extra innings. Despite the losses, the Titans’ Trevor Wilson went 2-for-2 at the plate and stole three bases, and Jake Opelski and Walker Brinkman made outstanding plays in the field.

The Titans got hot Saturday, crushing the San Ramon Hawks 10-2 and compiling impressive stats in threes: Dominic Gallegos led the way offensively – 3-for-3, including a home run, three runs scored and three RBIs. Anthony Beckstead got the win on the mound, allowing no hits over three innings.

On championship Sunday, the Titans first took on the Laguna Bandits and took

home a 7-3 win, led by Jake Opelski’s sixinning, two-hit, seven-strikeout complete game. Offensively, the Titans were led by Zack Jorgensen’s two hits, including a double and two RBIs. The Titans then took on the tournament’s number-one seed, the Rocklin Hitmen, and took them out to the tune of 13-4. The Titans were paced by Trevor Wilson’s three innings of one-hit, five-strikeout baseball plus a home run and four RBIs. Logan Huntze and Conner Capps added two hits apiece.

In the final championship clash, the Titans avenged their earlier loss to the Pythons, beating the Pleasanton team 7-3. Jimmy Kabrich’s two-run homer ignited a seven-run rally, and from there, the Titans never looked back. Logan Huntze picked up the win with three innings pitched and only one run allowed.

The NorCal Titans have become the most highly successful travel baseball club in the area. For more information, go to www. norcaltitansbaseball.com.

Panthers don Straw Hat

by Michael Dixon Correspondent A season ago the Antioch High boys basketball team lost in the final round of the Straw Hat Classic and went on to a 12-14 season, finishing fifth in the Bay Valley Athletic League. Looking to significantly improve this season, the Panthers began that turnaround Saturday at the 27th Straw Hat Classic, beating Alhambra in the championship game 7256.

Tournament MVP Evan Grimes led the way, but the Panther attack was spread out and all players contributed to the victory.

The biggest setback for the Panthers came in pregame warm-ups., when they earned a technical foul by dunking. So instead of the traditional jump ball, the game started with an Alhambra technical free throw followed by an Alhambra possession. But the 1-0 deficit was the only time the Panthers trailed all game.

Antioch led 13-5 after the first quarter and kept that lead or larger the rest of the game.

“It was good,” said Panther Coach John Woolery. “We were missing a couple

of guys, but I thought the guys that were in there stepped up and played well. Our guard play was really good. I thought Jamaal Davis played really great tonight. He was sick; he had a 102 fever.”

Woolery noted that his team needs to improve its rebounding, but he’s optimistic about the upcoming season despite tough competition from Deer Valley and Freedom and despite losing All-League player Emmanuel Bradford and Ramsey Nijem to graduation. “I think we have a good leader in Evan Grimes,” said Woolery. “I think he’s ready to take on that role. He’s the best guard in the league. And I think we have really good role players.”

In addition to his team’s play, Grimes was happy about his own performance. “I played good,” he said. “My team really helped me …

We have a very good team. We play with a lot of teamwork and camaraderie. We’re going to be very good this year.”

Antioch’s next home game is Wednesday, Dec. 16 against Granada. This weekend the Panthers compete in the Granada Holiday Tournament.

Liberty from page 21A Weil. “We can do some really good things.

It’s just going to be a matter of the girls coming together. We still have a long season ahead of us. We bounced back from our first scrimmage when we played really poorly. I anticipate us bouncing back from it now. I’m looking forward to a great season. That’s the

Freedom from page 21A any other high school sport, according to Parsons.

“Wrestling truly is the toughest sport on any campus,” he said. “The best athlete on any campus is usually one of the best wrestlers on the team. Whether it’s a star from the football team who comes out and wrestles and is also tough – that guy will tell you that wrestling’s tougher than any day on the football field. The training, the running, the weight-lifting, the things that these guys put themselves through to be in top shape and then still come out here and, like pro wrestling, put on a show. So, without the bulking muscles and high-flying rope slams and that kind of stuff, you still are wowed and awed

bottom line: we’re going to have a successful season. You always hit bumps in the road. If you can learn from those bumps, then you’re only going to become a better and stronger team.”

Liberty hosted Millennium Thursday and plays in its annual Stonebarger Tournament today and Saturday.

by the spectacle these guys put on. They are real athletic.”

A match consists of three two-minute rounds in which the wrestlers are awarded points for things like getting an opponent off his feet, escaping from an opponent’s attempt to get you off your feet, maneuvering to get on top of the other guy after starting out on the bottom, forcing an opponent’s back to be less than 45 degrees off the mat and, the coup de grace, pinning your opponent’s shoulders to the mat.

Freedom had a star wrestler a couple years ago, David Prado, who competed in the state championship finals. The next few months will determine who might become the next Prado or Klingsheim in East County.

COMMUNITY

Board from page 1A trolling the Police. First step: create a police civilian board.’ Our police do not need to be controlled. They need to be supported.

“Today four officers in the state of Washington were buried. I’m sure everyone in the audience is aware of that. I don’t know if anyone in the audience is aware that since their murder, three other officers in other cities in the United States were fatally shot in the performance of their duty. Help the police. Support the police. Do not try to control them by letting activist groups come in here with their political agenda and polarize this community.”

Her comments were greeted with strong applause by many of those in the council chambers. Other speakers argued that state law does not allow the city to set up a civilian oversight board with subpoena powers, that there is no money in the city budget to provide staffing for the board, it would hurt police morale and possibly result in officers second-guessing themselves before engaging in a pursuit or arrest, depending on the ethnicity of the suspect.

Big applause also followed remarks made by Marie Livingston, an AfricanAmerican woman who has lived in Antioch

Garamendi from page 1A Beck, a senior concerned that the Democrat plan will lead to health care rationing, that she has nothing to fear.

One man urged Garamendi to reign in federal spending, pointing out that the national debt is currently $12 trillion, the health care bill might add another trillion dollars to the debt, and annual payments to service the debt are projected to increase to $700 billion in eight years as the debt rises toward $20 trillion. “Washington needs to live within their

for more than 14 years. “This proposal is the most asinine, perverse, revolting piece of garbage, and has no place in Antioch,” she said.

“Antioch citizens expect to be protected from murderers, violent criminals, thugs and those in our neighborhoods who refuse to conform to civilized behavior. “(A newspaper) article said council members (Reggie) Moore and (Mary) Rocha are entertaining this idea. I’m against anyone that supports the criminal above the community, the law-abiding citizens. I’m against those that have no regard or compassion for the victims and the horrible memories and scars that they have to live with for the rest of their lives, like this lady who lost her son.

“I feel so bad that things like this are happening in this city. On my street in my neighborhood this rabid animal stabbed and severely beat the mother of his children until she almost died. To the police department, I say blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.” Only three people spoke in support of the oversight board, but they did not include Angel Luevano, who initiated the proposal at the Nov. 10 council meeting and said he expected the council to present a plan for its formation at the Dec. 8 meeting.

Darnell Turner, representing the East County NAACP, said, “This is not about (Police) Chief (Jim) Hyde. It’s about a community that does not have the full confidence of this law enforcement agency. The council owes the community a chance to listen and hear what are some of those concerns, whether they are valid or not valid. We need to build a relationship to improve the situation we are living under currently. They need to abide by the laws.

We need cool heads and calm thinking. We would do a disservice if we do not discuss it and get to the real issues here. This community grew so fast that it was not prepared for the onslaught of the change.”

Willie Mims, representing the Black Political Association, agreed, pointing out that he had asked three or four years ago for the council to form a police review commission “because of the number of complaints from a certain segment of this community. I brought folks here. The council turned their backs on the voices of the people who came before you seeking redress. What else are they supposed to do if the council doesn’t hear the voices of the people who are repressed and their rights are being violated? They feel like they are victims of taxation without representation. It’s your duty to represent the total

community. You must meet with the citizens who feel they have been victimized by police conduct.”

Mims was referring to several AfricanAmerican women who have filed lawsuits against the city and police, alleging racial discrimination in attempts to get them removed from the Section 8 subsidized housing program. The council went into closed session before the meeting to discuss the litigation, and declined to comment on the oversight board on the advice of City Attorney Lynn Tracy Nerland.

Councilman Brian Kalinowski did reiterate his support of the police, however, via e-mail: “I continue to support the great work done each day by the members of the Antioch Police Department. The Chief does an excellent job and has my full support. He is welcome to serve this community for as long as he wants to. I am sorry I cannot comment more, but I will let the legal process validate the sound work by the APD.” Moore has been the strongest proponent of forming the oversight board, an idea that received support from Rocha. Neither spoke about it at the meeting or responded to a request to comment.

means,” he said to big applause.

Garamendi responded that he has problems with the way some of the hundreds of billions of dollars were spent in the bailout of Wall Street firms, but he pointed out that it helped keep the economy from collapsing.

“We are seeing some growth in the American economy, although not yet in the jobs area,” he said. “Do we stop and hope that things improve? Or do we continue to stimulate the economy? My take is we continue to stimulate the economy.”

But that answer did not satisfy an Oakley woman who said, “I feel like I’m on the Titanic and the only ticket I’m allowed to buy is in steerage. I applaud the people before me who addressed … spending – it is crazy. I think that we better slow down take a step back.”

Another contentious issue in the twohour discussion was the cap-and-trade legislation that Garamendi supports to fight global warming. Virginia Costanzo believes global warming is a hoax and that increased regulations on energy to fight it would drive up

prices and increase unemployment. “Do you still fall for the (warming) myth?” she asked.

“Are you drinking the Kool-Aid? We have been scammed for 20 years.”

Garamendi responded that “there is overwhelming evidence in the scientific field (for global warming). Leave aside the great debate of whether it’s human caused or not.

We’ve become more reliant on energy from the most dangerous places in the world – that is not good policy.”

Tall ship to drop anchor in Antioch The tall ship Hawaiian Chieftain, now touring California ports as part of its 2009-10 Hands-On History for Youth tour, will set sail Dec. 15 for Antioch and Rio Vista and is scheduled to arrive at the Antioch City Marina, 5 Marina Plaza, at approximately 9 p.m.

The ship will host school groups on Dec. 16 for dockside and sailing education programs. Hawaiian Chieftain will also welcome visitors for walk-on tours on Dec. 16 from 4 to 5 p.m. A $3 donation per person is requested.

On Dec. 17, the Hawaiian Chieftain will transit to Rio Vista, arriving at Rio Vista City Dock, 1 Main Street, tying up at approximately 4 p.m. after a cannon salute. The ship will immediately open for walk-on visits from 4 to 5 p.m. On Dec. 18, the crew will host school groups, and from 4 to 5 p.m., visits by the general public.

On Saturday, Dec. 19, Hawaiian Chieftain will open for public walkon tours from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., followed by a three-hour Adventure Sail beginning at 2 p.m. The Adventure Sail features demonstrations of tall ship handling, maritime storytelling, a sea shanty and an opportunity for guests to help sail the ship. Tickets for the Adventure Sail are $55 for adults, $45 for students, seniors and active military personnel, and $35 for children 12 and under. To purchase tickets, visit www.

The Hawaiian Chieftain will arrive in Antioch on Dec. 16 and set sail for Rio Vista on Dec. 17.

Lady Washington, which normally accompanies Hawaiian Chieftain during her California tours, will be at her home port of Aberdeen, Wash. during the Hawaiian Chieftain’s visit. Shipwrights are preparing to replace Lady

Washington’s current engine with a new engine that meets California’s strict emissions standards.

Launched in 1988, the topsail ketch Hawaiian Chieftain is a steel-hulled replica of a typical European merchant trader of the early 1800s. The modern ship was originally designed to sail

among the Hawaiian Islands carrying passengers and cargo. Hawaiian Chieftain later served as an excursion vessel based in Sausalito before the Historical Seaport purchased it in 2004. It now visits more than 40 ports annually in California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia.

Make-ahead meals make for happy holidays The holidays bring full hearts – and full homes. That means extra seats around the table. But holiday hosting isn’t just about the big meal; it extends to all the get-togethers that call for a special dish.

These tips from the Carnation Holiday Recipe Guide will help make all your holiday get-togethers even more special: • Movie night in is cheaper than movie night out. Create a movie theater setting and check out a DVD from the library that the whole family will enjoy. Don’t forget to make a whole bunch of popcorn. • Make leftover magic: don’t let any food go to waste. Use leftovers in new recipes or save them for a special leftover buffet at the end of the week. • A casserole is an ideal make-ahead meal. The Sunrise Sausage Bake is full of family favorite flavors and can be made the night before. For an elegant yet easy breakfast or brunch dish, try a Pear Oven Pancake (recipe at right). Loaded sweet pears and accented with cinnamon, it’s a winner that can be ready in less than 30 minutes.

Visit www.thecookingmilk.com for even more delicious recipes and tips on feeding your holiday houseful – and to get your free Carnation Holiday Recipe Guide.

Pear Oven Pancake 2 tablespoons butter, melted ½ cup all-purpose flour Ÿ cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided Ÿ teaspoon salt 1 can (12 fluid ounces) NestlÊ Carnation Evaporated Milk 3 large eggs 1 ripe pear, cored and thinly sliced ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon Preheat oven to 450º F. Pour melted butter into 9-inch deep-dish pie plate or cake pan. Swirl to coat bottom and sides of plate. Combine flour, Ÿ cup sugar and salt in medium bowl. Whisk evaporated milk and eggs in another medium bowl until blended. Add to flour mixture; whisk for 30 seconds or until smooth.

Pour batter into prepared pie plate.

Arrange pear slices on top of batter in pinwheel design, pushing down slightly.

Combine remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon in small bowl. Sprinkle top with sugar mixture. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Serve warm. Makes six servings. – Courtesy of Jenny Harper, Consumer Test Kitchen Project Manager for the NestlÊ Test Kitchens and VeryBestBaking.com.
