Council urged to deal with foreclosures

by Dave Roberts Staff Writer

A former city treasurer candidate urged the City Council at its last meeting to deal with the rampant foreclosures in Antioch that he said are causing blight and bringing down property values.

“The typical streets now have a couple of homes that are for rent, for sale and a couple more that have recently sold or are pending in bankruptcy,” Robert Kalafate told the council on Aug. 11.

“Several of these homes could be categorized as blight or nuisances. And other neighbors in adjoining properties have taken the example and just stopped caring for their

properties. Brown lawns and ‘for sale’ signs on distressed and vacant properties are a welcome mat for would-be vandals and squatters, which increases the law enforcement costs in an already strained budget.”

Antioch has had 2,300 houses go into foreclosure, with another 2,000 foreclosures expected, according to RealtyTrac.com, said Kalafate. “Banks have done little to maintain the properties, and we are seeing the results today,” he said. “Home values have declined. And I believe that part of the price decline is the unkempt front properties.” see Council page 18A

Boaters claim 2-Gate is too much

by Dave Roberts Staff Writer

In three months, two gates may be constructed in the Delta in a five-year experiment to determine whether they will help save the endangered Delta smelt while continuing to allow the pumping of water south to Central Valley farms and southern California residents.

But some local boaters are concerned that the gates will restrict their access to the Delta, and believe the 2-Gate Fish Protection Demonstration Project is part of an ongoing water grab that is harming the Delta.

One of those boaters is Jan McCleery, who has been boating on the Delta for 40 years and moved with her husband to Discovery Bay three years ago from Sunnyvale to be closer to the water. On most weekends they hop onto their 43-foot Bayliner yacht and sail off to idyllic Mildred Island, where they anchor and hang out.

Normally they get there by

“It will make it very difficult to tell if we can get back or when and how,” she said. “My other concern is I don’t think environmentally they are protecting the smelt. It’s to allow them to pump more water – it’s the first step toward the peripheral canal.”

The gates project is a collaboration of the California Department of Water Resources, the federal Bureau of Reclamation and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.

It has not yet been approved, however – the environmental studies are due to be released soon, which will allow opportunities for public comment before a final decision is made.

But the current schedule is for construction to begin in September and for the gates to begin operation on Dec. 15.

One gate would be on Connection Slough and the other on Old River north of Rock Slough between Bacon Island and Holland Tract, which is about five see Gates page 18A

Seniors shine at fashion show

by Samie Hartley Staff Writer

“Isn’t this gorgeous?” Donna deFrates said as she navigated through the crowd during the Senior Stars Fashion Show, sporting a design sold at Oak Street Boutique.

Beaming ear to ear, deFrates was just one of nine ladies who gracefully glided around the Brentwood Senior Activity Center on Aug. 14, showing off the latest trends for women this fall.

Brentwood Senior Citizens Club President Lynda Oliver she was delighted by the turnout of more than 130 people to the club’s third annual event. “This was a great event for seniors in the community to see what the club and the senior center are all about,” she said.

“You know, there aren’t many occasions to get all dressed up once you hit a certain age.

We seniors don’t get to go to proms, so this is a fun way for the ladies to get dressed up and be admired.

“All women love to play dress-up, and what a treat for them to get to walk around on the arm of a handsome gentleman. Now these ladies have photos to show their friends and family that clearly illustrate that they do not live a dull life. They are active and involved, and that is what the club is all about.”

Models Elaine Allen, Stella Brown, Lydia Campos, Marlene Cook, Laura Jaramillo, Hermie Rasey, Bev Rossi, Dolcie Tullis and deFrates took turns donning formal and casual wear, walking around the senior center as audience members enjoyed lunch. As the

Bev Rossi, who also modeled in the show, was one of the winners. She said she was more than happy to bid on the prize as the money went to a good cause, and signing the check was a lot easier than modeling.

Oliver said the community and business support to put the event together is testament to the community spirit that is unique to Brentwood.

Oliver said she was pleased with the number of new people she met at the event and hopes more seniors in the area will be encouraged to join the seniors club and participate in upcoming activities held at the center.

Oakley couple help folks Party Green Cheryl and Ron Clark, left, are the owners and creators of Party Green, an eco-friendly line of disposable plates and cup products. The Placup, below, is the signature product of the Party Green line.

by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer

The best ideas are usually the simplest, but it helps to be creative, too. Luckily for Oakley residents Ron and Cheryl Clark, their line of eco-friendly paper products is both, and if early sales are any indication, their products won’t soon be the only green items in the Clark household. “Well, we’re hearing a lot of good things about it (the products) so we’re feeling pretty excited,� said Ron, a heavy-equipment operator. “It’s one of those things that when people see it they say, ‘It’s so simple.’ It’s a fun product.�

Called Party Green, the line’s signature item is the Placup holder (plate with cup holder); a plate and cup combination that allows for a one-handed approach to tailgate parties, backyard barbecues and other recreational gatherings where buffet-style food is served. Made with 100-percent biodegradable and compostable wheat straw – including the cups, which look and feel like plastic – Party Green products are fun, kid and senior friendly, and environmentally correct. “We go to a lot of events, a lot of tailgating parties and other things, and we’re always holding food in one hand a cup in the other,� said Cheryl. “If you want to eat or say hello to someone, you have to put everything down or risk a spill. The Placup takes away the awkwardness.�

Photos by Ruth Roberts

The idea for the eco-friendly Party Green line came to the Clarks a few years ago courtesy of Cheryl’s young grandson, who was living with them at the time. Inspired by the idea, Ron grabbed a paper plate, cut out a hole, dropped in a plastic cup and created their first prototype. By process of elimination, the Clarks finally came upon the right design, and two weeks ago, they held their first packaged product in their hands. “It was exciting to go into one of the stores with our plates and see it there on

the shelves,� said Cheryl. “It’s all so new; we’re learning as we go. It’s stressful, but it’s fun.�

And if you’re thinking you’ve seen the combination plate and cup holder before, you have, but never as a green product.

That – along with other Party Green items including the soon-to-arrive divided plates and cafeteria food trays – are what the Clarks believe will set them apart from their culinary competitors. “The timing for a product (recycled) like this is perfect right now,� said Ron.

“People can enjoy an item like this without feeling guilty.�

Today, the Placup can be found in select grocery stores in Danville, Piedmont and Oakland, and once a distributor is secured, the Clarks expect to begin lining the shelves of local retailers throughout the Bay Area. “It’s a fun business to be in,� said Cheryl. “People can eat, drink and enjoy and still know they are doing something good for the environment. We want people to party, but we want them to party green.�

A variety of adoptable animals, including Daisy, left, and Fritz will be available for adoption at the Antioch Animal Services Volunteers 4 Volunteers event this Saturday.

Dog – and cat – days of summer The volunteers at the Antioch Animal Shelter are inviting the community to a day of fun aimed at supporting the shelter. The event takes place tomorrow, Aug. 29.

“We are hoping to recruit more volunteers to help at the shelter because of the huge budget cut that our small city shelter just received,” said longtime shelter volunteer Shellie Robertson.

The Volunteers 4 Volunteers Pet Event will feature adoptable animals from the shelter as well as representatives from about a dozen animal rescue organizations that the shelter works with on a regular basis.

There will be raffle prizes and music, plus face painting and balloons for the kids.

Groomers from Hairy Hounds in Oakley, in addition to donating raffle prizes, will be visiting the shelter on Friday (when they’re closed) to groom some of the animals to make them more appealing to potential adopters. At the event, the Groomers will be trimming cat/dog nails for a donation, which will be given to the shelter.

To top it all off, the shelter will be offering a one-day amnesty on dog licensing. Antioch residents wishing to license their dog can do so without any late fees/ penalties.

The Volunteers 4 Volunteers Pet Event will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Antioch Animal Services, 300 L St.

Last week I wrote about how DTI (debt-to-income ratio) was back in vogue in real estate lending. Lenders actually have the audacity to check to see if the borrower can afford the payment before making a loan now (gasp!). To recap, some rough guidelines are that your housing expenses (principal, interest, tax, insurance, HOA) are not over 35% of your gross income, and that your total installment payments of any type not exceed 45%.

In the past, we only talked about debt ratios in regards to getting approved for a new loan. But now there are two other situations where debt ratios come into play, and those two are loan modifications and short sales. When you apply for either a short sale or a loan modification, your lender will ask for a pretty complete set of financial information from you. As part of their decisionmaking process, they will look at your debt ratio. But there is a big difference between what they are looking for between these two.

For a loan modification, it will help

if your debt ratio is high now, but not too high. They want to see that you are having trouble making your payments now, but if they reduced your payment, your debt ratio would drop to something you can afford for the long term. But for a short sale, if your front-end debt ratio (housing only) is lower than 35%, that can make your short sale harder to get approved. They may say, “Hey, they COULD afford to make this payment if they wanted to…” That’s where they look at the rest of your package to see if the other bills you have are bills you have to pay— medical bills, wage garnishment, etc. But if you are having trouble making your house payment because you are choosing to make your luxury car payment, boat payment, credit card payments instead, that will be a tougher sell. Not impossible, just tougher.

Red Door opens to dancers

by Samie Hartley Staff Writer While most of Brentwood is settling into the quiet of a Monday evening, the Red Door Dance Studio is coming to life, as rhythmic drum music floods through the red doors onto First Street as 12 women sway to the beat.

Toni Todd, owner of the studio, calls out the eight-count as her dancers shimmy across the dance floor during a Dansoleil belly dancing lesson. After an hour of practice, the women execute a new routine to round out the session and celebrate their accomplishment with cheers and applause.

The smiles of their faces are what Todd enjoys most about her job.

“I love seeing my dancers get excited

when they’ve learned something new,” Todd said. “Belly dancing allows women to get in touch with a deeper part of themselves and express what’s in their hearts.

Modern women lose themselves in their daily routines since they juggle so much, but this dance allows them to let go and get in touch with their feminine side.

“It’s like dance therapy. They always seem so much happier after class, and belly dancing isn’t just for girls who look like Barbie dolls. I have women of all ages, shapes and sizes come to my classes and I love working with them and watching them all grow and finding confidence – not just with their dance abilities – but with themselves.” see Dancers page 9A

AUGUST 28, 2009

Dancers from page 8A Todd, who has been dancing all her life, discovered belly dancing 10 years ago and used it as a way to condition her body back to dancing form following surgery.

Once she was back in shape, she knew she wanted to teach belly dancing, but finding a space to hold class wasn’t easy.

She taught classes through Brentwood Parks and Recreation and developed a dance troupe that traveled around the Bay Area performing belly dance routines, but she always dreamed of owning her own studio, so when she found the location on First Street and the rent prices came down due to the failing economy, she took the opportunity to make her dream come true.

“I’ve lived here for 22 years, and I’ve wanted to be a part of downtown Brentwood for so long,” Todd said. “When this space opened up, I couldn’t refuse. It was still scary to finally make all of this happen, but my dancers kept encouraging me, and I’m so glad I listened to them. This really is a dream come true. I get to do what I love and share dance. What could be better?”

Todd partnered up with Cozette Hileman, a local dance instructor who was also looking for a place to call her own, and in March they opened Red Door Dance Studio, named for the front doors that were already painted red.

Hileman, a certified dance instructor who specializes in ballroom dancing, taught at other dance studios in the area, but was looking for a more intimate setting to hold her lessons, so the partnership with Todd was ideal.

“I wanted to be involved with a smaller studio, and the location is perfect.,” Hileman said. “It is so wonderful to be a part of historic downtown Brentwood. Together, Toni and I offer a variety of classes, so there is something for everyone.”

While Todd’s belly dancing classes are ongoing and people can join at any time, Hileman’s classes change every four weeks.

She also hosts a dance party on the third Saturday of every month, when she gives a dance lesson and then invites people to stay and dance the night away.

“It’s great for people who don’t live in the area,” Hileman said. “Couples can come out to Brentwood and enjoy a nice dinner and then come over to the studio, have a little dance lesson, and then spend the evening dancing. It’s a fun idea for a date night.”

While Red Door is home to Todd and Hileman’s classes, they also rent the studio out to other instructors who teach dance classes as well as dance-inspired fitness classes such as a youth hip hop class and a Zumba fitness class, which incorporates forms of Latin dance such as salsa into a cardio workout. In September, a yoga instructor will join the Red Door team, and Todd says she hopes to expand the dance card and find more instructors to offer as diverse a selection as possible.

In addition to the classes that are held Monday through Saturday, Red Door Dance Studio also hosts a monthly workshop to introduce different dance styles to novice and experienced dancers. This Saturday, Aug. 29, Todd has invited a tribal

belly dance instructor to run a workshop on the more primitive style of belly dancing, a style that is quite different from the Americanized version Todd teaches.

“The biggest goal with the classes and the workshops is to share the love of dance,” Todd said. “Dancing is just like anything else you have to learn. It takes practice, and I’ve tried to create the most positive atmosphere possible to foster a learning environment that makes the dancers feel safe. Everyone can dance; they just have to have the patience to find the dancer within.”

Red Door Dance Studio is located at 817 First St. in Brentwood. For more information and a schedule of classes, visit www.reddoordance.com or call 925-5163667.

STAR test results mostly up

by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer Most East County schools showed increases in academic proficiency, according to the state’s recently released Standardized Testing And Reporting (STAR) results.

The figures, which track student achievement, are part of the 2002 No Child Left Behind Act that requires students to demonstrate proficiency in math and English-language arts. The STAR test measures student progress toward achieving the state-adopted content standards, which describe what students should know and be able to do in each grade and subject tested.

The Antioch Unified School District saw proficiency numbers hovering around 50 percent in grades two through 11 for both math and English-language arts, with a fluctuation of less than 1 percentage point, in most grade levels.

In Oakley, most numbers were bumped up as well, the biggest gains coming in English-language arts – up in some cases as much as 5 percentage points over last year. Algebra students increased in their proficiency nearly 20 percentage points, from 33 percent in 2008 to 52 percent in 2009.

Oakley Union School District Superintendent Rick Rogers credits the district’s overall increase to a major effort last year, especially in math. “We’ve made some excellent growth in math, and part of that is because we were able, despite difficult financial circumstances, to hold onto our

math specialist,” said Rogers.

“We also have really improved our student assessments in the classroom and established good pacing guides for all the grade levels. Our students, parents and staff are to be commended; they’re the best and I’m very proud to be associated with them.”

The Knightsen School District’s (KSD’s) results were a mixed bag. The district improved significantly in second-grade English-language arts proficiency – 83 percent over last year’s 46 percent. But algebra continued to be a struggle for eighth-graders, whose proficiency rate was 20 percent, down from 2008’s 35 percent.

KSD Superintendent Vickey Rinehart isn’t sure what happened with the math scores.

“I don’t know why those scores are low,” she said. “We have the students divided into special groups and they get daily instruction and intervention, so I’m not sure what happened, but we will continue to look at student growth and assess student needs. Overall, though, we had gains at most levels and I’m very proud of our students and teachers.”

Merrill Grant, superintendent of the Brentwood Union Elementary District is proud as well, noting that students in all grade levels maintained or increased in English-language arts (around 55 percent) and scored an 81-percent proficiency in algebra.

“We are up across the board in all grade levels in math and language arts,” said Grant.

“I am really proud of our results and our teachers. They’ve all been working very hard and it’s starting to pay off.”

At the Liberty Union High School Dis-

trict (LUHSD), English-language arts scores were down for freshman (56-percent proficient over last year’s 67), but up for juniors (43 versus 39 in 2008). Algebra 1 scores are up for both freshman and juniors (17 and 15 percent proficient, respectively), but still far below the countywide proficiency percentage of 71.

“We’ve had some growth in certain areas and we’re certainly pleased with that,” said Mary Vinciguera, director of curriculum and instruction for the LUHSD. She acknowledged that the Algebra 1 scores were low, but added that they did represent a four percent improvement. “Of course, you always want to increase and do better,” she said. “We are definitely improving, and

|

11A

our goal is to continue improving.”

The Byron Union Elementary School District showed a significant increase, in math proficiency particularly, with a 41 percent rate in Algebra 1 compared with 2008’s 17 percent.

“The middle school did really, really well in algebra, and we’re very pleased with those numbers,” said the Byron district’s Superintendent Eric Prater. “What that means to me is that early intervention is working. Our teachers and staff are really rolling up their sleeves and doing the hard work in spite of all the (financial) challenges. I commend all of far East County for the work educators are doing. They’re walking the walk and talking the talk.”

Support for Aaron gains momentum

by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer Aaron Tanner, the 4-year-old Brentwood boy awaiting a heart and kidney transplant, is expected to be flown from UCSF to UCLA within the next few days and be placed on an organ donor waiting list.

Aaron was born with only a partially functioning heart. Although doctors predicted he would eventually become a candidate for a new heart, they didn’t anticipate Aaron would need the surgery until he was into his 20s. But when the preschooler’s kidneys began failing last month, causing subsequent pressure on his heart, it became clear that Aaron would need the rare double transplant surgery.

In an interview with the Press this week, Aaron’s mother Elizabeth said her son is holding on despite his ordeal: “He’s (Aaron) about as stable as they can get him right now. He’s on a lot of pain medication and he sleeps a lot, but he’s hanging in there. This has been such a nightmare.

Once he’s got his heart and kidney, we can relax. I’m so ready for this to be over.”

As the Tanners continue to pray for a miracle, the community continues to rally behind the family, hosting a variety of fundraisers and events.

AARON TANNER The most recently planned event is scheduled for Sept. 23 from 5 to 10 p.m. at the Hanoum Estate in Oakley. Mike and Vickey Fagan, owners of Mike’s Beef ‘n’ Brew, are co-organizers of the benefit, which will include a barbecue dinner, live music and a Texas hold ’em tournament.

Tickets for the event are $50 and include dinner and a buy-in for the poker tournament.

“We expect this to be a great event,” said Mike. “It’s a gorgeous spot that the owners have generously donated, so we’re hoping to gather a lot of local sponsors and donations. We’re just going to do whatever we can to help this family who has stopped everything to save their son.

We want to make things a little easier.” see Aaron page 16A

Commissions’ sunsets – the facts Editor: In response to recent comments

by Don Flint of Discovery Bay regarding the non-renewal of two Regional Planning Commissions in Contra Costa County, I’d like to share with your readers the actual historical record so they may judge the situation for themselves and not Mr. Flint’s allegations.

These planning commissions, the San Ramon Valley Regional Planning Commission and the East County Regional Planning Commissions (ECRPC), were initially scheduled to sunset in October, 2007. Even though the record at that time indicated dwindling issues and frequently canceled meetings, I sought and received support from my colleagues on the Board of Supervisors to actually extend both of these commissions, on two separate occasions, for a total of two years, to a sunset date of October, 2009.

More currently, the board received a letter of support from the chair of the East County Regional Planning Commission, Bay Point resident Edmond Stevenson, by a unanimous vote, requesting the commission be allowed to sunset. Mr. Edmond Stevenson was appointed by Supervisor Glover, not me. This request letter came from the ECRPC’s experiences as indicated by the “substantial reduction in development activity” … “we do not find that there is sufficient benefit provided by continuing the Commission, particularly given the importance of reducing costs for the County” and “the majority of our meetings have been cancelled due to the lack of planning items.”

Again, the vote to disband was unanimous from the East County Regional Planning Commission itself.

This record differs from Mr. Don Flint’s representations, particularly the fact that there was no recent action taken by the Board of Supervisors to sunset these commissions, that action actually occurred in 2008, identifying the Octo-

ber, 2009 sunset date.

The Board of Supervisors greatly appreciates the many, many volunteers who have served diligently on these boards from the very beginning. These appointments come with terms as well and are routinely scheduled to sunset, as in the case of Mr. Walter MacVittie. We recognize very clearly that large development projects will need to be heard locally, and will ensure that happens, as discussed at the board. The reality is that the county must run more efficiently and effectively in significantly tight budget times.

We are working diligently to find revenue to keep deputies on the streets, district attorneys for prosecution, and funding for 4-H and UC Cooperative Extension programs. It is time for us to build a better structure of county operations, to meet the needs of our citizens while creating higher levels of cost effectiveness and service efficiency. I will continue to keep the public engaged during this process.

Once again, if any member of the public has any questions as to the facts or background to any issue before the Board of Supervisors, my office can be contacted at 925-240-7260 and we are conveniently located in downtown Brentwood off of Sand Creek Road.

Garamendi’s geography gap Editor: I got a rude awakening last week when I learned that congressional candidates are not required to live in the district within which they run for office.

That’s just illogical to me!

A “representative” should understand where I live, know my concerns and then vote accordingly. How can Garamendi say he understands this district when the first time he faced the nightmare traffic of Highway 4 was for a candidate forum in June?

Garamendi says he’s passionate about the issues in Washington; I want a representative who is passionate about representing me and solving the challenges we both face in our district. As the local candidate who has been accountable to us for more than 25 years, Mark DeSaulnier has my vote for Congress on Sept. 1.

understands directly the impacts of taxation and government regulation and is committed to reducing both. Bunch understands what it takes to create jobs and wealth, and how the government can easily take those away. He, like many of us, has been directly affected by the current economic downturn. So he can relate to the common person in this district and America.

With his military background, having served in both Iraq and Afghanistan, Bunch understands the need for ending both wars with victory and bringing our troops home quickly.

Closer to home, Bunch is committed to bringing solutions and funding for our transportation needs here in Contra Costa, Alameda and Solano counties and opposes the construction of the peripheral canal, which would send our water to Southern California and destroy the Delta’s environment.

I share his values and most of his views, and believe Chris Bunch is the best choice for Congress. Please join me in supporting him with your vote next Tuesday.

Her work as spokesperson for the five Delta counties has made our concerns and issues heard on the state level.

At Delta Team County Staff Meetings, Mary Piepho has been instrumental

to our cause by discussing Contra Costa County’s action – almost every Monday for the last few months. She was commanding and precise at the Save the Delta press conference in Sacramento and my family and our community here in Discovery Bay can’t thank her enough.

Defending Delta with democracy Editor: I live in Discovery Bay on the Delta waterway. For the last 10 years, the fishing and boating communities on the Delta have noticed a rapid decline of the Delta estuary and have reported this to the DWR, Department of Fish and Game, and our state legislators. It seems that our politicians and the governor are more concerned with selling water than the quality of water.

I am over 60 years of age and have lived and fished the Delta a very long time. I know the governor would like to get something done but his advisers are clearly giving him bad advice. He is not giving the people a chance to be represented on his decision-making committees.

Just look at his Blue Ribbon Panel selections: not one person lives on the Delta or even understands the fragile freshwater flow that keeps it alive.

We are fed up with this political attitude and we are ready to fight the battle with the water distributors. Our state leaders are charged with a sacred trust to protect and sustain our Delta estuary, and they have traded this sacred trust to sell water and make millions of dollars. Just ask where all this money is going. To preserve the Delta? I think not because it is clear the water quality has been declining for the past 10 years.

We just had our Million Boat Float to the capital. This represented a million people in support of saving the Delta. On Aug. 17 we organized a protest rally on the Capitol steps with 20 guest speakers and 300 protesters. The photo was one street corner group advancing the cause of awareness to the people.

Yes, we are ready to fight. More people are becoming aware of the governor’s intentions to build a 52-mile long steel barrier canal 1,000 feet wide through the center of the Delta.

Wake up, Northern California; they have already started to core drill into the earth and collect dirt samples that will allow them to start building as early as 2011. What will happen when they try and fill this monstrosity? The salt water will intrude into the Delta up into Frank’s Tract and kill the natural plant life and fish we love so dearly. see Letters page 17A

Old becomes new at Tummies to Tots

by Samie Hartley Staff Writer Jeannette Hemenway sets high standards for the quality of items she sells at her consignment shop Tummies to Tots in Brentwood, so don’t get freaked out if she smells the clothes you’re trying to sell.

“I know it’s weird and I get weird looks when I smell the clothes, but it’s what the customers are going to do anyway,” Hemenway said. “I don’t want to sell something that smells like it’s been in your garage for five years. It needs to look and feel brand new.”

Along with scent, Hemenway also checks to make sure there are no stains, missing buttons or faulty zippers on items people try to sell through her store, which opened in July. But Tummies to Tots is more than a clothing store. It’s a one-stop shop for helping families get through those early years.

Hemenway sells everything from cribs and car seats to books and educational toys.

Customer Kaila Cutshaw of Brentwood said she’s excited to have a consignment shop close to home where she can shop for her 11month-old Myles. “I’m so glad this place is finally open. I’ve been waiting very patiently to shop here. And I really appreciate that the owner has such an attention to detail. It’s so important to provide your children with safe and sanitized things, so as a parent, I’m really happy that she has such a strict clean policy.”

While owner Jeannette Hemenway helps customers at Tummies to Tots, her daughter Miranda, left, plays with Audrey Smith, whose mom Denise came into the shop to inquire about consigning. to Tots two years ago when one of her girlfriends discovered she was pregnant and asked about consignment shops that catered to expectant mothers and their offspring.

Hemenway knew of only a few and none of them were in far East County, so she did some research and decided to bring a consignment shop to Brentwood.

“The closest shops were in Walnut Creek and Lafayette, and driving all that way can end up taking up your whole day, and

families can’t afford to do that – especially now,” Hemenway said. “Plus, kids’ clothes become expensive because they’re constantly outgrowing their clothes, and you have to buy more. When I go out to get out my winter clothes this season, the clothes from last year are still going to fit me. That won’t be the case for my 4-year old.”

While families are tightening their belts and watching their budgets, dressing their children remains a priority, and there’s no

way around the need to find new clothes that fit children comfortably.

“Kids need clothes. That’s all there is to it,” Hemenway said. “There is so much life left in these clothes since kids get to wear them for only a short period of time, so it’s like buying them brand new – but you get it at such a great price. Plus, you are supporting your community by shopping locally and buying from people in your community.”

Hemenway sells maternity clothes as well as clothes for children up to age 6. Since kids can grow fast, many of the items Hemenway brings in still have the tags on them – the original owner grew too big to wear them even once. Items sold at Tummies to Tots are 50 to 75 percent off the retail value, and when that involves name brands such as Gap, Gymboree and Carter’s, those savings are huge.

Hemenway already has a wait list of people hoping to sell their used items. While she has plenty of clothes to sell, she’s always in need of furniture such as high chairs and car seats. To get on the wait list, Hemenway asks potential consigners to come in to meet with her first at the shop and then she’ll alert them by e-mail when she has room on the floor for specific items.

Tummies to Tots, located at 3860 Balfour Road, Suite A, is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Tuesday through Friday; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday; and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.

Brentwood Veterinary Hospital

Old age precautions : “My dog’s age is starting to show, is there something I should be doing?”

Q

: Yes. As your pet enters its senior years, more extensive and frequent examinations and testing are recommended. Now that pets are living longer and healthier lives due to better nutrition and veterinary care we are treating more and more senior pets. There are many recommended regular health screenings for older pets which, when provided at optimal times, may lead to early detection of abnormalities and promote longevity and enhance quality of life. These screenings include twice-yearly physical examinations, and yearly blood, urine, and fecal tests. A thorough physical examination by your veterinarian will allow them to evaluate weight gain or loss, overall body condition, new lumps or bumps, heart and lung sounds, the bones, joints, and muscles, along with many other body

systems. Laboratory tests are the best tool for detecting early diseases in an otherwise healthy appearing animal. When subtle changes are noted on the screening tests but your pet isn’t showing any signs of illness, this is actually the best time to intervene and start treating or at least preventing progression of disease.

Sadly, oftentimes once a pet is sick, cures and good outcomes are much harder to come by when compared to the results that may have been achieved with prevention or management of the early stages.

To help your pet live comfortably during his or her senior life stage, schedule an appointment, let the veterinarian ask his or her questions, take a good look, feel, and listen to your friend, and we will work with you to tailor a senior wellness plan to fit your needs.

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage Matters

By Trevor Frey

MHA Check Up The Making Home Affordable (MHA) program was first announced on February 18th with guidelines released to lenders through the United States Treasury on March 4, 2009, and, according to Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner in a press release dated May 14 2009, “In just over two months, the Making Home Affordable program is up and running, helping our economy recover and making a difference in the lives and livelihoods of thousands of American homeowners.” As of this writing, the program includes fourteen mortgage loan servicing companies, including the five largest. Between said servicers and loans owned or securitized by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, more than 75% of all mortgage loans in the country are now under the Making Home Affordable blanket.

So with roughly four months of operating under our belts, just how is the program performing?

Of course you will always find stories on both sides of the fence but according to struggling home owner Nicholas Tekpertey, “In February, I was facing foreclosure, Making Home Affordable changed my situation, and gave me my home back. All homeowners who are worried about their mortgage payments should do what I did. Call your lender. See if you qualify. This program is real, and this program works.” To further back Mr. Tekpertey’s personal experience are Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s actual figures. Since the launch of Fannie Mae’s new automated underwriting system 233,000

eligible refinance applications have been run through Desktop Underwriter (DU) Refi Plus – the automated system set in place April 4, 2009 specifically for the Making Home Affordable program – with over 51,000 of those applications having loanto-values between 80 and 105%. Freddie Mac has also seen success with over 1500 Home Affordable closed and delivered to the government entity.

Don Bisenius, Executive Vice President of Freddie Mac, was pleased to announce updated guidelines aimed to further the success of President Obama’s MHA program, stating on June 5th, “We are responding to consumers’ desires to have more refinancing options.

As an added benefit, we are expanding the program and providing greater flexibility in financing closing costs. Freddie Mac is committed to doing everything we can to bring the benefits of the Administration’s Making Home Affordable program to as many borrowers as possible.” Freddie Mac is now following what Fannie Mae put into play from the start...allowing borrowers who attempt to participate in the program to work with any lender, not just their current servicer.

Overall the Making Home Affordable program is slowly but surely showing positive results. For further information on said program and to see if qualify to refinance up to 125% of your home’s value please do not hesitate to call me directly, or write in at tfreymortgages@yahoo.com.

Bypass to undergo temporary closure Commuters should be prepared to do without a segment of the Highway 4 Bypass for nearly three weeks, beginning Monday.

Crews will be adding a rubberized asphalt overlay extending from the Balfour Road/Bypass intersection in Brentwood to the Marsh Creek Road/Bypass inter-

Council from page 1A Kalafate, who came in third in the city treasurer’s race in 2008, cited a state law that allows cities to require the bank that owns a foreclosed property to keep the property maintained or face a fine of $1,000 per day. The City of Stockton, which has had three times the number of foreclosures as Antioch, has used that law to hire companies “to clean up and green up” properties in that city, he said.

“These banks have received economic stimulus money in the billions,” he said. “That money can be directed back to Antioch’s business community.

Local businesses can provide the products and services to re-sod, to clean up the properties, to paint the lawn and provide weekly landscaping. I request the council to take the steps appropriate in an urgency ordinance and obligate the banks to green up the next wave of 2,000 foreclosures.”

But the council did not follow up on that request, citing a lack of city staff to do the work necessary to require the banks to maintain their fore-

closed properties.

“I feel bad because … (of) the amount of homes that have been left in such disarray and the inability of being able to go after them because of the lack of staffing to follow up,” said Councilwoman Mary Rocha. “It puts our code enforcer in a bad situation.

“We’ve tried. (Councilwoman) Martha (Parsons) and I hoped we could help out in the community. At this point we were told that the graffiti committee (with volunteers) would probably be the best way to go first.

And then perhaps establish something that would be supportive to the home foreclosures. So we are aware of it, we understand it. But it’s the staffing time that it takes to go after those properties in trying to go through the process. Believe me, it’s a headache.”

City Attorney Lynn Tracy Nerland seconded Rocha’s remarks, saying that the City Council has already adopted an ordinance requiring that foreclosed properties be maintained, adding, “It’s a staffing issue, not an ordinance issue.”

miles north of Discovery Bay. The gates are planned to be continuously open from mid-April to mid-May and from July through November. From December to March they would be closed one to two hours per day. In March to mid-April as well as mid-May through the end of June, the gates are planned to be closed up to 10 hours per day during flood tides, then opened during ebb and slack tides.

The goal is to prevent the spawning smelt from traveling down Old and Middle rivers into the water pumps south of Byron, killing them as water is sucked out of the Delta and sent south. The gates would be in place for at least five years while their effectiveness is studied.

David Breninger, president of the Recreational Boaters of California, sent a letter July 30 to the project proponents that applauds doing research on ways to save the smelt but which also expresses numerous concerns about the gates project, particularly the closure of the gates in the spring.

“These are prime boating times, especially for the residents in the area south of the gates,” Breninger’s letter states. “Discovery Bay, a water-oriented community of some 10,000 residents and some 3,700 homes, would be impacted the most when the gates are closed, particularly when traveling by water to the western Delta.

They would have very limited water exit or entrance to and from their community.

“Also of concern is the need of law enforcement and U.S. Coast Guard boats for rapid and unencumbered access. In addition, access and ease of movement is needed by working vessels such as barges, tugs and other vessels involved in possible emergency levee repair or maintenance

The gates project is planned to protect the endangered Delta smelt. as well as farm barges to transit the area with farm equipment and workers.

“The public’s long established right of vessel passage under the public use doctrine to transit the Delta waterways unimpeded by gates or barriers must be fully mitigated to satisfy the needs of a wide variety of boats of all sizes.”

In a phone interview, Pete Lucero, spokesman for the Bureau of Reclamation, said that boaters would have an opportunity to express their concerns during the environmental review process for the project.

“That day is coming very soon where the public will be able to make a comment and provide their voices to what the plans may be,” he said. “We are certainly open to hear everyone’s point of view on this and make sure that the intended purpose of the project meets the needs of the greater good.”

The Bay Area news media will be notified when the environmental documents are released along with the schedule of the public comment meeting(s), he said. For more information, go online to www.science.calwater.ca.gov/ events/reviews/review_2gates.html.

Cornerstone launches football program

by Dave Roberts Staff Writer

Cornerstone Christian School doesn’t get quite the press about its sports programs that public schools get, but interesting things are happening there nonetheless, such as the launching of its eight-man tackle football program.

The eight-man game is similar to regular football, but it’s played on a smaller field – 80 yards long and 40 yards wide – with five players on the line and three in the backfield. Fielding smaller teams makes sense for smaller schools like Cornerstone, which has just 60 high school students (and another 340 in grades K8).

“It’s definitely a little more wide open because you have less guys on the field, even though the field is shorter,” said Cornerstone Athletic Director and Head Football Coach Casey Copeland, who was a defensive back at San Diego State.

Athletics at a small, private school requires the wearing of several hats on the part of administrators – Copeland’s assistant coaches are Principal Logan Heyer and Pastor Steve Miner. The players range from those who grew up playing Pop Warner football to those who are putting pads on for the first time in their lives.

“It’s been a rewarding experience,” said Copeland at a practice last week on the team’s “home” field at Orchard

Cornerstone Christian School quarterback James Maldonado takes off on a keeper as Assistant Coach and Pastor Steve Miner cheers him on in a practice last week.

Park Elementary School in Oakley, just a couple miles down East 18th Street from Cornerstone Christian School. “There’s a lot of patience involved in teaching these kids. But they show up, they practice every day and want to get better and are learning, and it’s nice to see.”

The Cougars’ first-ever tackle football game (they played flag football in junior high) will be Saturday, Sept. 5 at 1 p.m. at Orchard Park Elementary on Live Oak Avenue, and the public is invited.

“If people want to come see a little different brand of football than the traditional, they should check this out,” said

Copeland. “It’s huge in Texas and Los Angeles. There’s some really good teams out there, especially on the Peninsula and South Bay and the Chico and Redding area.”

The seven-game schedule includes a trip to Reno to play Pyramid Lake High.

It’s an ambitious schedule for a team that didn’t even exist in April. But they’ve been training at Trucks Training facility in Antioch along with practicing every weekday, and Copeland has seen a lot of progress in just a few months.

“Yesterday was one of the best practices we have had,” he said. “We saw kids

who are very green using pads and making tackles. We probably have about six kids that are good enough to make a public school team. The rest are green and still learning. But it’s coming together. It’s starting to click now. Our goal is to get the (novices) to the next level – if we do that, we are successful.”

He’ll be looking to several players to help lead the team in its inaugural season: running back/linebacker Luke Miner (son of Pastor Steve), wide receiver/free safety Erinn Love and quarterback/kicker James Maldonado.

Copeland, who lives in Brentwood, has two children attending the school: his daughter Brooklyn, who is in sixth grade, having attended for the past five years, and his son Braxton, who is in third grade.

“The school is awesome,” said Copeland. “It’s very scripturally sound and has all kinds of accreditations. The church is doing really well over there. What I love about the school is it’s a family there. My third-grader last year could walk on the campus and there’s kids in 11th grade, who say, ‘Hey, Braxton.’ I love that about the school. Now we want to really elevate our athletic program.”

In addition to flag and tackle football, the school offers girls softball, boys and girls varsity basketball (the girls went 18-0 last season), varsity soccer and girls varsity volleyball – a team that made the playoffs last year.

Patriots in action JV West vs. Patriots North The Delta Patriots JV West jumped out to an early lead and never looked back, topping the JV North 28-0 on Saturday. On their first play from scrimmage, Patriot running back Kyle Trego cut left off tackle and sprinted 39 yards for the West’s first touchdown.

The JV West scored on its next three possessions to put the game away by halftime with long touchdown runs by Bryce Oliver, Riley Conon and Conor Green.

The West defense came up with five sacks, two by noseguard Jacob Snyder, who also recovered a fumble. West linebacker Alejandro Espinoza led the defensive shutout effort with eight tackles.

JV East vs. Ceres Saints Also on Saturday, the Delta Patriots

JV East got its second win of the season against the Ceres Saints. Conner Barnes and Zakari Gadberry led the defense to its second shutout of the season. Christian Anaya, Gunner Aceves and Troy Gains performed well defensively, making many tackles for minimal gains.

Quarterback Joesph Tolentino led things off with a score and connected with Carter Lewis, Justin Dam, Parker Lewis and Spencer Roher en route to touchdowns. Lyle Hunter and Jeremy Hodges provided great protection for Vincent Gonzales and Jacob Puente scoring efforts. Anthony Martinez connected multiple times for two-point conversions.

Patriots East JV showed great pride, sportsmanship, and continue to improve.

Deer Valley and Heritage,” he said.

“It’s one of those years where it’s actually pretty wide open. Deer Valley won last year – they went 8 and 0, but they lost a lot of their key players. They had a real good coach who decided he had enough. This year we are going to rise and fall with the leadership from basically five girls who I am counting on to be the leaders for this team.”

Those players are co-captains Elizabeth Day and Kaitlyn Homsten, who play the hole-defense and holeset positions, respectively, as well as goalie Reyna Elemen, hole-defense Kianna Gendotti and hole-set Lindsey Hull.

“So far I’m impressed with everybody,” said Rose. “I’m stressing the team element this year. It’s more important to win and play as a team than having individual stars. Water polo is a team sport. If you’re going to have success you need to win as a team and have everybody on the team buy into that.”

Anyone who thinks water polo

is just an excuse to splash and throw a ball around in a pool should try the Liberty team’s double-day practice schedule last week, which Rose dubbed “hell week.” The morning practice starts at 6 a.m. and consists of swimming 3,000 yards until 7 a.m.

Afternoon practice is from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. and consists of more lap swimming along with working on skills such as passing, shooting and defense.

“They’re just a good group of kids,” said Rose. “One thing I have noticed over the years, the kind of girls that gravitate to water polo and put up with the double-days and all of the swimming tend to be the highachievers. It’s a demanding sport. It tends to attract the kind of girls who are driven and high-achieving.”

Liberty’s boys and girls water polo teams’ seasons started Wednesday against Freedom High, the results of which were not available at press time. Their next league game is at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 2 at Deer Valley High.

Lady Patriots get set

by Michael Dixon Correspondent The Heritage High School girls were an imposing presence on the volleyball court last season, posting an 18-16 overall, 9-4 league record and making it into the NCS playoffs, where they beat Concord High before succumbing to Campolindo.

But four seniors have graduated from that team, and this year’s squad, according to Head Coach Janet Hannigan, is likely to see tougher going this season now that the school has earned Division I status. In addition, the BVAL competition is more evenly spread out compared to last season, making it “more challenging for everybody.”

On the plus side, the Lady Patriots return five seniors in Ranya Abu Aita, Maddi Hancock, Hayley Kavanaugh, Megan Larmour and Meg Lyons to lead this season’s team.

Over the summer, Kavanaugh was a part of the High Performance team in

Florida, which enabled her to play with other elite players from throughout the world.

Larmour also has a lot of net experience, having been called up to the varsity team as a sophomore.

Aita, Hancock and Lyons worked hard to improve over the summer and promise to provide energy and enthusiasm to the squad, said Hannigan. Hancock and her sister, sophomore setter Chelsea, come from a good athletic pedigree – they are the daughters of former major league baseball pitcher Lee Hancock.

Hannigan has been coaching volleyball for more than 25 years and is now in her fourth season as the head coach at Heritage.

She enjoys coaching in the BVAL because the coaches all “enjoy and respect each other.”

The Lady Patriots’ season begins Sept. 1 on the road against Rancho Cotate, followed by the Merrill West Tournament in Tracy on Sept. 5. The home opener is slated for Sept. 11 vs. Berean Christian and the league schedule begins with a Sept. 17 match at Pittsburg.

Wolverines from page 1B he’s pretty accurate with his arm. It just opens up the weapons – the kids who are playing around him.”

And the Wolverines have a lot of weapons from which to choose, fielding 30 seniors on the team, 22 of whom have played together as freshmen, sophomores and juniors. That’s significant, considering that when Woods came on board four years ago only four seniors had played together all four years.

“When you have 20 or more kids who have played in the program, then you have an opportunity to be successful,” he said.

One of the team’s strengths may be its offensive and defensive lines, which feature a number of big players: 6foot-2-inch, 245-pound Clyde Ignont; 6-1, 265-pound Miles Tillman; 6-1, 280pound center Eduardo Contreras; 6-4, 255-pound Deandre Wesley, Eric Morton and Tavita Baito.

Deer Valley also has a lot of guys who can run the ball, starting with Sean Combs, who recently clocked a 10.68 in the 100 meters at a meet in North Carolina, and including Brandon Williams, Damon Collins, Matt Mills, Brian Thomas, Phillip Farmer and Lamontey Marshall.

Woods is also keen on backup quarterback Mike Behr, who as a sophomore filled in for Castillo when he injured his shoulder last year. “He will be the best guy in a second position we have ever coached – he’s an excellent quarterback,” said Woods.

Asked about his team’s strengths and weaknesses, the coach said, “I think strengthwise we have some good athletes and an athletic squad, an experienced senior squad that went to the playoffs and was denied by De La Salle – that was kind of a tough way to go out. They are athletic, focused and we have been working pretty hard; it’s a hard-working group. If they keep coming together as a team like they have, they will be pretty good.”

But no one is getting too cocky, given the tough competition in the Bay Valley Athletic League.

“The league’s very tough always,” said Woods. “I know we will fit in somewhere – I just don’t know where.

I am very optimistic about how we are practicing and playing. Defensively we should be pretty tough – at least we have been for the past three years. We have some great coaches and players, and the kids work hard. I am really proud of how they have progressed so far. So we are looking forward to a good year.”

That year starts on Sept. 12 at Washington, a week later than most league teams, followed by another road game Sept. 18 against Sacred Heart Cathedral. Then the Wolverines are home for a four-game stretch: Sept. 25 vs. Logan, Oct. 2 vs. Rodriguez, Oct. 9 vs. Vallejo and the beginning of league action Oct. 16 vs. Freedom. On Oct. 23 they are at Pittsburg, then host Liberty on Oct. 30, visit crosstown rival Antioch on Nov. 6 and wrap it up at home Nov. 13 against Heritage.

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT

Creepy fun at Los Vaqueros Naturalist Michael Marchiano will host three programs that focus on spiders and other creepy crawlers out at the Los Vaqueros Reservoir, located about eight miles south of Brentwood.

Stingers, Fangs and Venom Saturday, Aug. 29 The truth about much-maligned Western rattlesnakes, black widow spiders, scorpions and tarantulas will be told. What are the most dangerous and deadly critters in the area? Learn about the fascinating and unusual lives these creatures lead, and meet some of them up close and personal.

Arachnaphobia Saturday, Sept. 12, and Saturday, Oct. 3 Do spiders make your skin crawl?

Would you let a tarantula crawl across your

hand? Marchiano will expose the myths of the eight-legged critters – including our local gentle giant, the California tarantula – that live in our gardens, homes, garages and parklands. Why do we only see them in fall, how big do they grow, are they really deadly, and what is a tarantula hawk? Participants will learn about the black widow, the beneficial wolf spider, the beautiful garden spiders and orb weavers and know the truth about the brown recluse spider.

All three programs start at 10 a.m. and are held at the Los Vaqueros Interpretive Center, 19 Walnut Blvd. in Brentwood.

There is a $6 per car parking fee, but the programs are free. Call 925-688-8010 for more information on weekdays, and 925-240-2440 for more information on weekends.
