Brentwood backs green partnering The City of Brentwood is engaged in an ongoing effort to improve its management of local and regional resources through careful coordination, collaboration and communication. Partnering with residents and business owners is a cost-effective way to develop and implement public education while improving our environment. Below are some ways the city partners with residents and business owners to help improve the environment: • The city hosts an annual Neighborhood Cleanup event that allows city residents to drop off wood, yard waste, appliances, ewaste, furniture and garbage free of charge. In 2010 a total of 1,546 city residents diverted 55 tons of metals, 13.88 tons of e-waste, 16 tons of wood and .71 tons of tires from the landfill. Additionally, the city offers a free cardboard drop-off site, located at 2300 Elkins Way off Sunset Road. The site is open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. • The city is hosting the annual Hazardous Waste Drop-off event Oct. 2 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Brentwood Solid Waste Transfer Station, 2300 Elkins Way. Residents can drop off such materials as oil, batteries, paints and e-waste. • The city’s Water Conservation Program works with residents and business owners to promote water conservation by providing
Nineteen percent of Brentwood’s vehicle fleet is composed of green vehicles. high-efficiency toilet rebates, weather-based irrigation controllers, water-wise gardening CDs, free water use surveys, and notification of high water use. • The city works with residents and business owners to promote recycling. Residents can increase their recycling efforts by obtaining an additional blue or green cart, free of charge. The city continues to work with Brentwood Union School District (BUSD) to increase and improve the quality of its recycling material. Through grant funding received from CalRecycle, the city provides recycling containers, promotional materials and complimentary environmental educational assemblies. BUSD has increased its recycling by 100 percent since 2008. The city’s Fleet/Facilities Maintenance Division is a certified Green Business, demonstrating compliance with environmental regulations and adopting water conservation, solid waste reduction and recycling, ensee Partnering page 22A

Workers install pipes along A Street in Antioch, part of a recycled water distribution system that will be dedicated on Monday.
Antioch recycled water system to be dedicated Officials in Antioch Monday will dedicate a federal, state and local project benefiting the community, city and the environment. The $12 million project includes a distribution system that will provide recycled water to four city parks, street medians and the Lone Tree Golf Course. Future planned phases will use the backbone pipeline to expand the system to serve other park and industrial sites. In addition to more than
30,000 feet of pipeline on major thoroughfares in Antioch, the project includes a 1.1million-gallon reservoir and pump station at the golf course. The project, which is expected to be completed in September, is the handiwork of Bay Area Recycled Water Coalition, a partnership of 14 San Francisco Bay Area regional water recycling agencies.

Make going green a family affair by Michelle Mista Correspondent
Everyone knows that going green is good for the environment, but did you also know that it’s good for the family as well? Getting your family involved in a joint effort to go green not only helps to save the planet; it’s something the whole family can do together. From tykes to grandparents, involving the whole family can make going green a far more rewarding experience. Jennifer and Dustin McVicker integrate many environmentally friendly features into their Antioch home, such as energy-efficient appliances, drip irrigation for their garden and two composting bins made of reclaimed materials. Going green was something that Dustin started by recycling, and his green efforts expanded from there. “Once you start, it’s addictive,” he said. One of the McVickers’ most important environmental contributions is instilling this habit in their children. Collecting recyclable cans and bottles is an excellent way for a family to go green together. Younger children can help sort bottles and cans as they go into the recycling bin. Parents can teach their children about recyclable materials in the sorting process. Older children can help prepare the sorted recyclables for the trip to the recycling center. The McVickers regularly put their recyclable waste in their curbside recycling

Ryan demonstrates his airborne can-crushing technique for recycling. can but also separate cash recyclables to take to the recycling center on their own. Ryan McVicker, 11, sorts the cash recycling. “It’s fun!” he said while demonstrating his unique airborne can-crushing technique. Antioch and Brentwood provide several recyclable centers, most of them conveniently located near grocery stores. When you take your sorted recyclables to
the recycling center, the bottles and cans are either weighed or counted. Containers more than 24 ounces in volume can be redeemed for 10 cents apiece; 5 cents for smaller containers. While it might not seem like much at first, the cash does add up. A fun way to get the family even more involved is to use the proceeds to fund a family treat like ice cream or frozen yogurt for all those who
participated. Dustin admits that Ryan gets a kickback from the recycling proceeds, but when you ask Ryan, it isn’t about the money. “I’m happy to do it,” he said Ryan. He learns about the environment in school and how important it is for people to take care of it, so he’s happy to do his part. Families looking to extend their green lifestyle beyond the home can make a difference in the community’s ecosystem by volunteering. For active, outdoorsy families, adopting a section of Marsh Creek might be the answer. Groups can volunteer as stewards to adopt a section of the creek a quarter mile to one mile in length. Creek adoption imparts fascinating, built-in science lessons for kids of all ages and affords families an opportunity to hike and clean up together in the great outdoors.

Rachel’s chain reaction reaches Brentwood by Samie Hartley Staff Writer Just days before she was killed in the Columbine High School shooting in 1999, Rachel Scott submitted an essay that discussed her views on life. She wrote, “I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion, then it will start a chain reaction of the same.” The theory of a 17-year-old from Colorado is now a challenge to citizens of the world, including hundreds of Brentwood students, to be better people. Scott’s family founded the nonprofit organization Rachel’s Challenge to help spread their daughter’s theory that a simple act of kindness can go a long way. Rachel’s Challenge speaker Adam Northam visited each middle school in Brentwood last week, as well as Heritage High School, delivering Rachel’s message, a message only truly realized after she died. By reading Rachel’s six diaries following her death, her family discovered that Rachel had a dream to change the world by teaching others the importance of compassion and love, and now Rachel’s Challenge has been presented to more than 10 million students in the United States. The Challenge urges students to focus on five goals: treat others the way you want to be treated; dream big and believe in yourself; appreciate everyone – mock no one; embrace the power of positive gossip; and forgive yourself and be forgiven.

Above, Mickayia Sherman, 11, listens intently to the Rachel’s Challenge presentation at Adams Middle School last week. Left, Adams Middle School students sign a banner following the Rachel’s Challenge assembly, pledging to be considerate and compassionate to their fellow students. “The students have really embraced the challenge,” said Edna Hill Principal Kirsten Jobb. “The presentation that introduced Rachel’s story and her belief in being kind to everyone really touched the hearts of many of our students. It was an inspiration.” At the end of each presentation, stu-
dents who decided to take the challenge confirmed their commitment to the cause by signing a banner to be displayed in a prominent location at their school. The Edna Hill banner will be hung in the main hallway so that everyone can see it. According to Jobb, the mission of Rachel’s Challenge – to create a safe learning
environment – will help enhance programs already in place on campus, including Advisory and the Welcome Everybody program. “I’ve already seen students practicing the goals discussed in the Rachel’s Challenge presentation,” Jobb said. “Since it’s back to see Rachel’s page 12A

Rising to the Challenge Correspondent At the beginning of each school year, Freedom High School participates in Challenge Day, a program similar to Rachel’s Challenge, in which students are encouraged to make positive life choices and treat others with kindness and compassion. During last year’s Challenge Day, MTV came to the Oakley high school to shoot a segment for its new reality series “If You Really Knew Me.” 2010 Freedom graduate Leikin Poppino, who was featured in the Freedom episode, reflects on what Challenge Day means to her. To see the episode aired on TV, log on to www.mtv.com/shows/ if_you_really_knew_me/series.jhtml. Challenge Day is a program that comes to high schools all across America and works with students to help break down cliques and get them talking about their problems. All too often, today’s young people don’t discuss their trials with others. Instead, they substitute their hardships with false personas. MTV picked up this program last fall and turned it into the reality show “If You Really Knew Me.” Challenge not only gives today’s young people a new perspective; it reassures them of the importance of their good qualities. The most valuable lesson I personally took from Challenge Day was to remember to reserve judgment about others. You do not know what their fam-
ily is like, how their night was, or how their morning went. You know nothing about most people except for their outer appearance. I also learned the importance of being there for others, of extending the hand of friendship to all around us. By simply showing you care, you can save a person’s life. I also encourage people to confide in one another when they feel like the world is on their back. You’d be surprised by how often someone is struggling with the same problems you are. We must learn from one another in order to grow into strong individuals. Challenge Day gave me courage – the courage to stand up for those who don’t have a voice. As I went through the program, I watched it instill courage into the hearts of all around me. I thoroughly believe that this program could change the world if everyone had the opportunity to go through it. Many have asked me if Freedom High School actually changed following Challenge Day, and my answer is yes. It wasn’t the drastic change we all hoped for, but it was a change nonetheless. The event gave Freedom students that first step they needed to make a true difference. After Challenge Day, the Freshmen in Training Leadership Program created a club called Freedom for Change – an effort to carry on the change and give students who
UNEMPLOYED CA HOMEOWNERS HELP The Treasury Department just announced $3 Billion being earmarked to help distressed homeowners. (Please, please don’t tell our government what comes after a trillion…). It is broken down with $2 Billion going to the “Hardest Hit Fund” which targets 17 states with higher than average unemployment rates. California is one of these states and may get anywhere from $400-700 Million. Here are the programs that they plan to roll out on November 1st of this year - http://keepyourhomecalifornia.com/summaries.htm One of the programs is targeted towards unemployed homeowners and will make their mortgage payment for up to 6 months. They must be unemployed, be eligible for unemployment benefits, live in the home, be less than 90 days behind and meet low/moderate income guidelines. And on top of all that, the loan must be the original purchase-money loan. If you’ve refinanced, you probably don’t qualify. In the words of one of the officials running the program, it is too hard to deter-
mine who “cashed out for a good reason and who didn’t.” [Ouch… Put that guy up for the “Compassionate Government Official of the Year Award.] The other $1 Billion is earmarked for the HUD Emergency Homeowners Loan Program. (They haven’t figured out which states get this one.). This one will provide a loan of up to $50,000 to homeowners to make their payments for up to 24 months. For this one they must be at least 3 month’s behind, yet be likely to resume repayment within the 24 months, principal residence loans only, and had good credit prior to falling behind. [Yep, you read that right—a $50,000 LOAN for someone to make their payments on the home they are likely upside-down in. Like throwing a bathtub filled with water at a drowning person.

Oakley Elementary pilots food program by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer
Armed with hundreds of grocery bags and pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables, staff and volunteers at Oakley Elementary School kicked off the Farm 2 Kids food bank program this week. “We are very excited. This is a great opportunity to work with the food bank and our families,” said Oakley Elementary Principal Kathy Kruse. “We had over 300 families sign up for this program and we think it’s going to be fabulous.” Sponsored by the Contra Costa and Solano County Food Bank, the Farm 2 Kids program provides fruits and vegetables to children with families struggling to make ends meet. Each week, Farm 2 Kids provides 3 to 5 pounds of fresh produce to more than 6,500 children in approximately 60 area schools. Maryann Hussey, assistant superintendent of Student Services for the Oakley Union Elementary School District, said the food bank contacted her last spring to extend an invitation to participate in the program. “We got the call because Oakley
“ We had over 300 families sign up for this program and we think it’s going to be fabulous.
”
Oakley Elementary Principal Kathy Kruse Elementary has over 50 percent of their students receiving free or reduced school lunches, and that’s part of the criteria,” said Hussey. “So of course we said we were interested. We’re very excited; I think it is going to be fabulous.” And while the purpose of the Farm 2 Kids pilot program is to supply fresh food to children and their families, the project also provides an opportunity to teach students about healthy living and proper nutrition. “It’s a program with a couple of goals, and we like that,” said Kruse. “It’s about more than just increasing students’ access to fresh food and veggies.” And access to items will vary as see Food page 9A

Food from page 8A the seasons change. This month, said Hussey, it’s likely that bags will be filled with lots of fruit, while in the fall corn, peas and other vegetables will be more abundant. “We were told that the foods will change depending upon what’s in season and what’s available, such as more carrots and oranges in the winter and potatoes in the fall,” said Hussey. “But that will be fun for the kids; they may get to try a fruit or vegetable they’ve never seen before. We’re really excited.” To volunteer for the program, or for more information, call Oakley Elementary at 925-725-7050. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Why You Should Consider a Short Sale Versus a Foreclosure by Joan Grimes, Esq. When a person is behind on their home loan, it is easy to get discouraged and think that a foreclosure sale will be better than a short sale. It will be easier to walk away and just let the Bank take back the property. However, all too often, walking away from a property is not the best option. First, the borrower is responsible for the property until it reverts to the Bank at the trustee sale or is sold by to a third party at the trustee sale. The time between walking away and the trustee sale can be months or in some cases, years. During those months, the upkeep of the property including maintenance of the property is still the responsibility of the borrower. The borrower is also personally liable for homeowners’ dues, homeowners insurance and any charges levied by the city for failure to maintain the property. Instead of moving out, the borrower could have put the property up for short sale and continued to live in the property without paying the mortgage and saving for their next place. Second, it will take longer to qualify for a new home loan if the property is foreclosed. Fannie Mae and FHA have made it clear that both will look more favorably on a short sale versus a foreclosure. The Borrower will be eligible for credit to purchase a home in 2 years from completion date of a short sale whereas it could be 5 years from date of the foreclosure sale is completed. Third, a short sale may reduce personal liability and tax liability on the property. This may be especially true if the borrower does not qualify for bankruptcy. However, extreme
AUGUST 20, 2010
SPECIAL GREEN EDITION
caution should be used in proceeding with a short sale on a stated income loan if the borrower gave less than honest information as part of original the loan application. On a short sale, the lender will require release of financial information including prior tax returns which may expose the borrower additional liability instead of reducing liability. Deciding to do a short sale is big decision and may have significant legal and tax consequences. Therefore, prior to starting a short sale (1) determine the affect of the short sale on your credit, (2) is there any personal liability on a lien after the short sale and (3) is there any tax liability due to the short sale. In conclusion, a short sale versus a foreclosure may be the right decision for you. However, a short sale can have serious consequences which should be analyzed by a real estate or bankruptcy attorney. This is a complicated area of the law, but a bankruptcy or real estate attorney should be able to make to an analysis of your particular situation fairly quickly. THIS INFORMATION IS NOT PROVIDED AS LEGAL ADVICE AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON INMAKING ANY DECISION REGARDING A VOLUNTARY DEFAULT, SHORT SALE, FORECLOSURE OR BANKRUPTCY. THIS INFORMATION IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR OBTAINING TAX & LEGAL ADVICE REGARDING AN INDIVIDUAL SITUATION. © 2010 Joan Grimes Joan M.

school time and we have a lot of new students, I see that returning students are going out of their way to make the new kids feel welcome. I never see a student eating lunch alone. And I also see the students practicing positive gossip and talking about their peers and teachers in a positive way. This program couldn’t have come to Edna Hill at a better time.” At Adams Middle School, students laughed, cried and watched in awe as Rachel’s story played before them. She was the first victim of the Columbine tragedy, an event most of these students were too young to remember. They watched clips of family interviews to learn more about Rachel’s inspirational life and legacy.
In response to the program, Adams Leadership Advisor Laura Bascom said the students have begun a Chain Links Club, a continuation of the Rachel’s Challenge program in which students actively pursue the five goals on a daily basis through school events and community service, creating a chain reaction aimed at spreading through Brentwood and beyond. “My code (of ethics) may seem like a fantasy that can never be reached, but test them for yourself,” Rachel wrote in her essay, “and see the kind of effect they have in the lives of people around you. You may just start a chain reaction.” For more information about Rachel’s Challenge, visit www.rachelschallenge.org. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Jamie Connors reports that not only did the effort more than double last year’s income; the total surpassed that of any other fundraiser the restaurant has held. “Ron Nunn families are the best!” said Jamie. “Everyone gets involved, including our very own principal, Charla Hernandez, who slapped on an apron and started serving sandwiches from behind the counter.” It’s businesses like Togo’s that help “keep the fun in FUNdraising.” Above, some of the kids and the school mascot take advantage of a photo opportunity during the event. Good job, everyone! – Contributed by Jamie Connors

Auer said instructors gathered at Chevron’s site for professional development and training. In addition, Chevron employees will volunteer as mentors for the EDGE Academy students, and the company may also provide scholarships in the future. EDGE Academy’s other sponsors and business partners include Dow Chemical; Emerald Consulting Founder and President Keith Archuleta; National Academy Foundation California Director Deanna Hanson; and USS/POSCO Manager of Organizational Development Jason D. Cox. In addition, The Irvine Foundation funded a five-year commitment grant to the AUSD – one of only 11 California districts awarded grants.
EDGE is the fourth AUSD academy, augmenting the Performing Arts, Law and Medical academies. But while it’s the most recent addition to the “linked-learning” family, it will probably not be the last. According to Rocha, “The statistics show improvement in attendance, grades, general attitude and behavior of the students enrolled in existing academies when compared to their peers who are not enrolled in the pathway academies. “Therefore, the goal of the AUSD with linked-learning is that 50 percent or more of all high school students in the district will be enrolled in some type of academy model within the next five years. This includes a goal of two or more academies, and it is my hope that at least one of them

will be at the Antioch High School campus.” About 104 students have enrolled in the EDGE Academy so far, including 19 girls. “Exploring avenues for females in this age is important,” said Johnstone of the maledominated engineering industry. “There are more jobs open to females in the engineering industry than ever before. Women in the next 10 years will see a greater need for engineers in all fields of engineering, and programs like this one are helping to shift the change in thinking.” District staff and business partners are excited about the upcoming school year and what EDGE will have to offer – but they aren’t the only ones. Students such as Brian Chapman said he was looking forward to

“working with tools, doing hands-on projects and learning about computer design programs.” His mother, Ingrid Chapman, is also enthusiastic about her son’s participation in the EDGE Academy. “I want to be in touch with the teachers,” she said. “And I think with this type of program, it’s going to be very close-knit. My son will get more oneon-one attention, and he can learn about practical things that he can apply to everyday life.” No matter what happens, one thing is assured: This year, the freshmen at Antioch High School will be paving the way for hundreds of students to sharpen their EDGE on the competition.

Antioch Council backtracks on Walmart by Dave Roberts Staff Writer The City Council softened its stance Tuesday night on an earlier decision to deny Walmart’s proposal to expand its facility to include a grocery department, despite also concluding that the expansion would result in other grocery stores closing, leading to urban decay and blight in Antioch. The latest action leaves in question whether the council will approve the 33,500-square-foot expansion of the Walmart in the Williamson Ranch Plaza shopping center on Lone Tree Way. City staff was directed to provide more analysis of the potential urban-decay impacts of the expansion along with possible measures that can be taken to avoid those impacts. But that analysis could become moot. A recent appellate court ruling suggests that cities such as Antioch don’t have the right to use extraneous environmental impacts such as noise, traffic and urban decay as a reason to deny a store’s expansion, but should instead focus on the design of the expansion, such as the color scheme and other architectural details. “The council has the authority and the obligation to address the merits of the design review application based upon the laws that govern the design review
“ I’m depending on counsel that we have been given ... I believe it would open us up to a lawsuit (from Walmart).
”
City Councilwoman Martha Parsons application set forth in the city code,” City Legal Consultant Rick Jarvis told the council. “I do not interpret those laws giving the council the authority to consider urban decay in whether to approve the design review application.” Jarvis was backed by City Attorney Lynn Tracy Nerland, who cited a court ruling in June involving the City of San Diego. The ruling concluded that the extent of the environmental review of a proposal “needs to be informed by the level of discretion you have before you. If it’s design review, that court didn’t see the need to go into a full blown environmental impact report (EIR). It gets very difficult (legally) when you have a design review application – and environmental information that goes well beyond the discretion of the design review.” Those warnings about Antioch’s precarious legal standing in denying the expansion based on extraneous environmental issues were enough to cause Councilwoman Martha Parsons to switch her vote. At the July 27 council meeting, Parsons joined with Reggie Moore and Mary Rocha to deny the
expansion based on concerns about the loss of jobs and potential urban decay if other supermarkets close after being unable to compete with Walmart’s lower prices. But on Tuesday, Parsons voted against Moore’s motion to not certify the EIR and to kill the expansion proposal. “I’m depending on counsel that we have been given (from Jarvis and Nerland) that the San Diego case may impact it,” said Parsons. “I believe it would open us up to a lawsuit (from Walmart).” As a result, Moore’s motion failed 2-3. Parsons, Mayor Jim Davis and Brian Kalinowski voted against it. Parsons then made a motion, which was approved 4-1 (Moore voting no), to not certify the EIR and also direct staff to further analyze the potential urban decay along with the ramifications of the San Diego ruling on Antioch’s decision on whether or not to approve the design of the expanded Walmart. Kalinowski fears there would be a store closure problem if Walmart’s expansion is denied in Antioch and store
officials decide to relocate to Oakley near the K-Mart on East 18th Street. “If Walmart goes to Big Break (in Oakley) you can forget about K-Mart,” he said. He asked that staff also analyze the regional impacts of denying the expansion request as well as the history of impacts on existing retail businesses in Antioch when new stores have come in. Kalinowski also asked that the expansion proposal be brought back to the council on or before Sept. 28 “for a whole host of reasons. But first and foremost, we need to get on with other business, and we have beaten the heck out of this project. Whether it goes or doesn’t go, we need some final rendering on this.” Davis did not comment other than to say, “I was encouraged by some of the discussion tonight. We are starting to see things a little clearer. Our eyes have started to come open.” But Rocha was displeased with the turn of events, saying, “I don’t think the San Diego issue should have been brought up. We agreed to (deny the expansion at) the last meeting. This throws a wrench, when we had an agreement that we directed the city attorney to bring back (tonight with legal justification to support the denial). But that was not brought back, and that’s what’s disturbing me.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

The benefits of taxation Editor: I am writing in response to Sandra and Edwin Stokes’ recent letter (Brentwood Press, Aug. 13), asserting that lowering taxes and “taking back our country” are the best policies for our nation. Simply, I disagree. Taxes fund the many programs that make our country the great nation it is today. Taxes are the source of revenue needed to pay for the huge array of services that our citizens demand, in order to provide the quality of life our nation is collectively trying to achieve. Reducing taxes means reducing police and firefighters, reducing the maintenance of our infrastructure, reducing our ability to educate future generations and reducing our national security. Taxes fund our military, as well as our schools and our ability to make roads safer. They also contribute to fighting disease transmission, providing for healthy drinking water and dealing with criminals. I drive on maintained roads (e.g., improvements to Highway 4 to alleviate traffic congestion), and my children have received an excellent public education thanks to taxes. Yes, sometimes April 15 comes with a tax bill for my family, but I feel that paying taxes is as patriotic as voting, serving of jury duty, eating apple pie and attending Independence Day celebrations. I proudly pay my taxes because I know that I am paying into the system for national security, education of our youth and police and fire protection for everyone. I am paying my fair share to get drunk drivers off the road, provide services for veterans, fund libraries and parks, fund law enforcement, courts and public defenders, ensure a clean food and water supply and maintain assistance programs for those in need. The goal of our taxation system is to spread out the cost of projects and services among everyone, so that the per capita burden is shared and is actually reduced. Unfortunately, there is greed in our nation, and taxation does not occur fairly and evenly. If we eliminated taxes altogether and simply passed

Are you ready for real facts? Editor: I understand that your readers have the right to express their opinions on your letters pages. One letter I read today, “Are you ready for real change?” (The Press, Aug. 13) is filled with misinformation and a seemingly endless list of lies. Several unfounded comments were “Obama and Speaker Pelosi want to raise taxes by trillions of dollars” and “one hundred million Americans would face an average tax hike of $1,716.” They even said these tax increases were ways to “bankroll” Obamacare! The fact is that the Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act will save us money as it saves lives and families from catastrophic medical costs. No matter how much you “want your country back,” you do not have permission to just make stuff up! The following information, unlike the fictional narrative in the Stokes’ letter, is from the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation (feel free to Google the whole thing): Under the Democratic plan, families making less than $250,000 a year and individuals making less than $200,000 – that’s 98 percent of American taxpayers would keep the Bush cuts, which increases the federal deficit by $202 billion. Even million-dollar households would continue to receive an average tax break of about $6,300 next year compared with full repeal – significantly more than the average tax break of about $1,100 that would go to families making less than $200,000 a year. The Republican proposal would go on to extend the break to the wealthiest Americans, adding another $36 billion to the federal deficit next year – and transfer the bulk of that cash into the pockets of the nation’s millionaires. What a great idea! God Bless America! Neil Linden Brentwood

and residents who participated in National Night Out. We especially want to thank Community Service Officer Michele Keady for working so hard to coordinate the visits of city officials and Brentwood Advisory Neighborhood Committee (BANC) members. Thank you, Mayor Bob Taylor, Police Chief Mark Evenson and his officers, Councilmen Erick Stonebarger and Chris Bencel, and BANC members for supporting the NNO activities by visiting all the gatherings. Furthermore, we would like to thank Fremont Bank for donating the generous basket of goodies and gift cards for the NNO Spirit award. Because the BANC committee had a hard time deciding between all the very spirited gatherings, they decided to do a drawing. The prize was awarded to the NW group leaders on Presidio Drive. Congratulations to the winner! We all had a great time celebrating NNO. Next year we look forward to having more residents participate. Let’s continue to get the message out that we are all working together to keep our neighborhoods friendly, safe and crime free.

Congress prospers – we pay Editor: Why in all the funds being disbursed by President Obama (and to be paid for by future generations) are funds for our past and present unpaid COLAs not provided for? Is it because we are not union members? Congress granted itself a double raise for this and next year amounting to $10,000. Its exclusive medical and Social Security contributions are paid for by us taxpayers. California is going to receive funds for education and Medicaid; I am not a student and I pay my own medical expenses, so will not benefit from Obama’s largesse. I think that if we remain silent, Congress figures we will just go away. But our living expenses do not! Beth Pforr Brentwood
Bigger than Open Carry Editor: This is in response to Rev. Alexis Easton’s and Rev. Will McGarvey’s letter regarding “Tea Party Open Carry.” The reverends ask: “What does Open Carry communicate? That the world is an unsafe place; that we are in imminent danger anywhere and anytime and that it is appropriate to be ready with an armed response. Open carry feeds fear, not trust or confidence.” What good are “trust and confidence” when you have a gun to your head or a knife to your throat?
I wonder if the reverends feel fear when they see a police officer with a loaded, openly-carried gun. If not, why not? Are they suggesting that only the police are able to receive handgun training and render aid to others? What if the police aren’t there when someone you love is being attacked? If they do feel uneasy seeing a policeman with a handgun, are they suggesting that the police be disarmed because the sight of their guns gives them images of “anger and anxiety” as they mentioned in their letter? What the reverends ignore is that all of these gun laws and “feel good” restrictions only apply to law-abiding citizens. The criminals – being criminals – disregard them. Where does that leave the law-abiding citizen? Defenseless. If I were to enter a coffee shop or any other business that allowed handguns to be worn on the premises, I would feel an increase in my sense of safety. A criminal will see that there may be resistance to their criminal behavior. They’ll look for an easier, less risky business to rob. But this issue is bigger than Open Carry. The reverends seem to have been swept up by the national media portrayal of Tea Party members and others who believe in personal freedom and responsibility as outside the norms of society. Their words insinuate that we must fully entrust our personal safety to the government. I reject that idea. I will not delegate my personal safety to anyone else. I am responsible for myself. Another question for the reverends: How would they suggest a smallish, 5-foot100-pound woman react when attacked by a 6-foot-3-inch-250-pound male assailant? The likelihood of her successfully fighting the larger, stronger man is slim. Should the woman just “give in”? What if she’s out with her kids? Should she not be able to defend herself and her children? What kind of fear is she feeling when she realizes she has no way to defend herself? In our society, there are three types of people: wolves, sheep and sheep dogs. The wolves prey on the sheep. The sheep dogs – regular Good Samaritan citizens and sworn police officers alike – won’t stand idly by while crimes are being committed. In America, you can ascribe to any belief system to which you feel comfortable. You may feel uncomfortable owning, handling or carrying a handgun. That is your right. Our Constitution does not require you to defend yourself; it simply guarantees your God-given right to do so. But you don’t have the right to impose your beliefs on others. When you support laws of your liking that restrict the constitutional rights of others, the proverbial “slippery slope” comes into play. Some day, a right you cherish may be eliminated, and you will have no one to blame but yourself. see Letters page 21A

Lessons in infrastructure Editor: The Press has had some very interesting stories in the last couple of issues. One of our esteemed Brentwood City Council members says that “we got the message” when the voters turned down Measure F by a huge margin. Sounds to me like the only message they got was political sour grapes. The local version of “I will take my ball and go home if I can’t make the rules for the ball game.” Try these lessons: Lesson one. Don’t let the landowners and developers write the land-use rules. They lie and cheat. Lesson two. Don’t let the local power structure endorse said land-use rules. They can be bought. And lesson three, the most important. Fix the roads and the traffic problems before more homes are built and more cars are using the roads. The infamous Highway 4 Bypass needs to become four lanes from Lone Tree Way to Balfour Road. Balfour needs to be widened to four lanes to Deer Valley before any more homes are built. And American Avenue needs to be completed in such a way as to alleviate the twice daily traffic snarl caused by the schools. Infrastructure first, new people second is a pretty good way to prevent the current crop of problems we are facing. If you guys can find the money to build that monstrosity that is

Character and credibility matter Editor: I was not surprised to find another spiteful letter in your paper from Ms. Carol Jackson. Based on all the previous letters she has submitted, she is one bitter person. I read in the legal notices that she recently sued the Byron Wastewater District, and now she wants to tell Discovery Bay and the CSD directors how to do business? Absurd. Incidentally, the Byron Wastewater District looks to be back on track ever since they dismissed Ms. Jackson. What was surprising was her uninvited attack on Director Brian Dawson. From my observation and attending a few meetings, he has been doing good work. Perhaps she felt the need to back her friend Walter McVittie, a candidate who recently announced his candidacy at the same time he attempted to criticize the CSD. I never trust those who try to make themselves look good by putting others down. Shame on Mr. McVittie for doing just that in his letter and Carol Jackson for repeating it. I also have witnessed Walter MacVittie in the close company of Bill Richardson, who we all know (unsuccessfully) sued the CSD. This kind of behavior is not what is needed in Discovery Bay. It must be election season, and as a voter who pays attention, I will be judging candidates on character and credibility. Jannine Nelson Discovery Bay

rentwood firefighters – with the help of countless passing motorists – once again led the charge to support Jerry’s Kids in the Fill the Boot campaign benefiting the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Requesting donations on local street corners last week, the firefighters collected a whopping $21,787, outpacing the second-highest effort from Walnut Creek, which collected $12,617. Altogether, the men and women of International Association of Fire Fighters Local 1230 raised $61,800, beating last year’s total by more than $14,000. Above, firefighter Tom LoCoco and a pair of colleagues pass the boot at Empire Avenue and Lone Tree Way. Congratulations to everyone involved in collecting and donating.

Borut. “This shows that even at a time when so many cities are struggling financially, cities and towns continue to develop the most creative and innovative solutions.” NLC received nominations from cities and towns in 40 states. Finalist programs exhibited exceptional public-private partnerships, productive citizen and community collaborations, management of municipal resources, implementation of government policies, project implementation with tangible results and/or the ability to replicate the project in other cities. The YIN is a comprehensive program to mentor young people identified as likely to commit or become victims of violent crimes. The program revolves around intense training for community volunteers so they can engage with at-risk youth and help mentor them and their families.
Its curriculum is modeled on a successful outreach to at-risk youth in Northern Ireland called Dialog for Peaceful Change, where it is credited with helping reduce violence and contributing to peace efforts. Antioch has been a leader in embracing community-oriented policing and in employing U.S. Department of Justice models to build a safer community. The city features a thriving Neighborhood Watch program as well as the successful Community Action Team, which brings community members and police together to address persistent criminal and nuisance problems in both commercial and residential neighborhoods. The winners of the 2010 Awards for Municipal Excellence will be announced during NLC’s Congress of Cities and Exposition in Denver, Colo. The exposition runs from Nov. 30 to Dec. 4. More information about the Awards for Municipal Excellence can be found on the NLC Web site, www.nlc.org/ame.aspx. The National League of Cities is the nation’s oldest and largest organization devoted to strengthening and promoting cities as centers of opportunity, leadership and governance. NLC is a resource and advocate for 19,000 cities, towns and villages, representing more than 218 million Americans. For more information, call Lt. Rick Marchoke at 925-779-6903.

Vendors from page 5A to save a couple dollars by buying produce on a street corner that may not be safe. It really is a serious issue.” Lucas said that in many cases, the hot and cold food sold by illegal vendors has not been inspected, might not be properly prepared and might be served in an unsanitary manner, resulting in a potential for contamination. He showed photos of a mobile taco bar that had no way to keep the food hot or cold and another vendor who did not have a place to wash her hands. “If she’s ill or just used the restroom, there’s no way to prevent what she came in contact with to get on the food,” he said. Some of these vendors ply their wares outside schools, said Lucas, adding that school children are more susceptible to contracting food-borne illness. He showed a photo taken outside Antioch Middle School, where of a man selling food was using a bucket of dirty water with soap to wash his hands. Davis said he’s also concerned about the working conditions of the vendors: “They are left for hours upon hours in the sun with no shade and restroom facilities.” Lucas said some of the fruit vendors are young teens who are dropped off at a location by a supplier. “They are being taken advantage of by the person dropping them off,” he said. “These individuals have to pay for the fruit up front and sell it for whatever they can sell it for that day. The person dropping them off gets a cut of that at the end of the day.” If the supplier is apprehended, he can be fined three

times the normal permit fee, totaling $600 to $1,000. Councilman Reggie Moore suggested that Lucas contact the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health to see if the agency can “help alleviate this problem.” Councilwoman Mary Rocha suggested that city officials knock on the doors of residences near street vendors to ask them to get the license plate number of the person picking up or dropping off the vendors. Lucas indicated that that’s easier said than done: “They are very quick, because they know if someone can take a picture of the vehicle, they are in deep trouble. Delta Fair Boulevard and Belle Drive is one of the problem areas. We have been able to effect a lot of good in that area. They are able to watch out. They come and go. They may leave for several months and then they will be right back.” Davis, noting that city code inspection and law enforcement staff have been diminished, asked residents to help enforce the law by not buying from illegal vendors and reporting them, including taking down license plate numbers and noting dates, times and locations. “We need to do some work to get it enforced,” he said. Legal vendors will display an inspection report and decal on the cart or vehicle “so that we can easily identify if it’s permitted and safe to consume food from,” said Lucas.

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage Matters By Trevor Frey
The Finish Line There is a loooong waiting period between professional basketball season and professional football season…at which time professional baseball is played. This only makes sense as professional baseball season, all 162 games of it, is very loooong in its own right. From April to October professional baseball tracks more stats than basketball and football, combined. I say that to say this: no one really wants to hear about the stats as much as they want to hear about the winner. In any game – baseball, basketball, football, or pea knuckle – no one cares about anything but the finish line and who crossed it first. You can throw the Ground ball fly ball ratio (GO/AO), along with all of the other “useless” stats, out the window if you don’t cross the finish line first. That being said and tweaking this analogy to fit residential mortgage loans, the mortgage equivalent to this finish line would be your FICO score. The rules of our “game” have changed, or rather fallen back into blank-and-white, and underwriting guidelines now REVOLVE around middle FICO score requirements. Residential mortgage underwriters will not even attempt to underwrite a loan if the potential borrowers do not meet certain credit score guidelines; according to Dave Zitting, the chief executive of Primary Residential Mortgage, a leading mortgage lender, “the credit score has become the line in the sand for the banks.”
If that’s truly the case, and FICO requirements only continue to rise, shouldn’t you be doing everything in your power to ensure your FICO score is where it needs to be? With credit card companies lowering limits at their discretion, and without warning, now more than ever you need to monitor your overall credit profile. Balances that are above 50% of a particular card’s actual credit limit negatively effects your FICO score, and in turn your ability to qualify for a mortgage. The number of credit inquiries under your social security number in a 90 day period also has a negative effect on your FICO score – too many inquiries and your score will actually decrease. And lastly, any late payments or collections will ruin a FICO score faster than either of the first two examples. Bottom line, in this day and age the finish line is your FICO score. If you’re planning on playing the real estate “game,” and crossing its finish line, you’ll need to train for a healthy FICO score. Throw all of the other “stats” out the window and call me to ensure you’re on the right path. If you have any real estate lending related questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to write me at tfreymortgages@yahoo.com or call me directly on my cell phone, (925) 726-1444. In this day and age the finish line is your FICO score. – Advertisement

Liberty looks to break BVAL drought by Dave Roberts Staff Writer
It’s been so long since Liberty’s football team won a Bay Valley Athletic League game that no current student has attended one. But Head Coach Nate Smith is confident that this year’s more experienced, stronger squad will end the four-year drought. “We were pretty inexperienced last year,” said Smith. “When you have five sophomores, three seniors and a number of juniors out on the field, you’re going to be in for some growing pains. In addition, we kind of went back to the drawing board. We wanted to go back to a scheme that I was more comfortable with in all of my years of running pro-style schemes and which fit better with my coaching staff. In doing that we are not only playing into the strengths of not only our players but also our coaching staff. “Last year was a year where we had some success early in the year and had a rough go of it in the BVAL. We absolutely had a rough go of it in the BVAL. Switching what we were doing certainly didn’t help matters there. We were trying to win games, but we were also preparing our guys for success in the upcoming 2010 season.” Ironically, when Liberty won its last

Antioch’s new football coach John Lucido plans to put the Panthers back on the winning track.
Antioch High football, a powerhouse back in the Jeremy Newberry days, has not quite enjoyed the success in recent years that many Panther fans would prefer. The team is 19-41 overall and 8-28 in league play since 2004. In each of the last three seasons the Panthers finished 46, including one or two league victories. But a new-old face is now in charge, and looking to take the program up a notch. “We look really good,” said head Coach John Lucido, whose Panther career began as a linebacker from 198891 and resumed when he returned in 1996 to coach, working his way up from JV defensive coordinator to JV head coach, then varsity defensive coordinator. “We’re an up-and-coming team. We’ve always been there; we’ve always been a game or two out. I think now we’re climbing over that mountain now. I’ve
brought in a very good coaching staff. I have a lot of coaches. I have a coach for every single position, the way it should be as a program. We’re really excited for this year. A lot of people are saying it’s going to be a rebuilding year because this is my first year. But I think we are a really talented team and are going to go a long way. I think a lot of people are going to be surprised. “We have a lot of speed. We are putting in a new offense, a spreadformation offense. We are utilizing our talents and our speed. They are picking it up pretty good. It’s no huddle, no wrist bands; it’s a fast-paced, fast-tempo offense. They are picking it up really good. We’ve got a really good group of kids. We have had the same defense for the past five, six years. So that part of the program is in. “What looks good right now is we have JV and varsity practicing together. We have been together all summer,
coaching staff and the players. So there’s nice team unity there. We are each running the same thing. And it’s one good program right now. Everything is working out. Slowly but surely it’s getting there.” Billy Cloninger, who threw for 1,200 yards in eight games last year, will be returning at quarterback. “He did very well for us,” said Lucido. “Leader of the team. He knows the offense. Picked it up really fast and is taking control. He needs to be that leader on the team, and he’s been doing it.” And Shamawn Wright will be returning as a wide receiver and cornerback. “He is a great kid,” said the coach, adding that he has had a “3.5 grade point average his whole high school career. Just do anything for you. He works hard. He’s the first one here, last one to leave. Really, really strong see Antioch page 29A

EDYSL stays hot by Michael Dixon Correspondent For leagues in which teams are dictated by the players’ ages, it’s challenging to be successful year in and year out. Maintaining continuity is especially tough in a yearround youth sport such as soccer. But the EDYSL (East Diablo Youth Soccer League) is living proof that it can be done. The league is currently preparing for the kickoff of its fall season, looking to equal, if not match, the success achieved in the spring, when the Impact Force U13 boys won the Norcal Championship and the Silver Division championship in their age bracket. They’re currently preparing for preseason tournaments. The U12 girls, the Impact Xplosion, also enjoyed a successful spring campaign, finishing second in their division, only one point out of first. In total, they won seven matches, tied two and dropped only one.
Xplosion Manager Todd Trimble was proud of his team’s success, especially considering their roster turnover. “After losing five players from the defending Bronze Division State Cup champs, Xplosion welcomed seven new players and didn’t seemed to miss a beat. “The girls competed in their first tournament as a team, competing in the Stanford Memorial Shootout in late May and narrowly lost the third place game on penalty kicks to an upper division, higher-age bracket team from South Lake Tahoe.” The U12 boys, coached by Rick Morin, also enjoyed success within their division. While a third place finish doesn’t sound too impressive, the team lost only one match on its way to that finish, winning six and tying three. Also noteworthy was that the U12 boys’ tallied an impressive 40 goals while surrendering only 16. Dustin Yokum led the team in goals scored, beating the keeper
seven times. Further information on the EDYSL and its teams, as well as information

Liberty from page 24A We have got personnel back in place.” The good news is that the Lions can only go up from where they’ve been. Last season they were outscored 244-22 in their five league games. The previous season wasn’t much better; they were outscored 218-29. So Smith is under no illusions that it’s going to be easy. “The BVAL is looking to be another meat grinder this year,” he said. “I think we are going to be much improved. Freedom is going to be maybe the most improved in the North Coast Section with the amount of talent they have returning – statewide, wonderful talent at Freedom. Heritage has some real studs coming back with their linebackers and running backs, and up front they are huge. Antioch has some real playmakers coming back as well. They lost some linemen, but they’ve got a really good new head coach. They have some playmakers back. “Deer Valley just reloads year after year. They walked some of their guys out to our St. Mary’s camp. They have four Division 1 prospects. Our guys’ jaws kind of dropped a little – wow! Who are those guys? And then there’s Pittsburg, who might be as good as they have been in the last decade. It’s a meat grinder for everybody, really, and I expect everybody to kind of beat up on one another.” Now in his fourth year as head coach at Liberty, Smith likes the nearly 50-50 mix of seniors and juniors on the team along with sophomore go-to receiver Nick West. “So it’s a nice blend,” said Smith. “We have leadership. We have energy for the varsity level. We have guys returning in a starting role and
we have kids coming up as juniors able to step right up in there. That’s something we struggled to have in the last few years was that complement to one another. The team is a very cohesive unit. We are two-three deep at each position. We are battling for starting spots. Right now nobody is guaranteed a starting spot.” That is, with the notable exception of returning quarterback Devin Parsons, who threw for more than 200 yards against Pittsburg last year. “His development over the off-season has been tremendous to watch,” said the coach. “That was the main reason also why I felt comfortable switching back to a pro-style scheme, one that I like to run. Devin’s maturity and growth over the summer has been a primary factor in why we are starting to feel good about ourselves. “He’s learned to sit in the pocket. He’s learned to be patient with his reads. He’s very mobile. He’s pretty quick for a quarterback. He’s developed that moxie that one develops through developing physically and mentally. He’s learned how to play the game. Last year was his first year ever starting at quarterback. He didn’t start at quarterback on JV or freshman either. So last year he was kind of thrust into the position. This year he’s coming back with a year of varsity starting experience under his belt, and it’s really been showing.” Team chemistry, experience and depth at the skill positions are some of his team’s strengths, said Smith. One weakness is that once again the Lions are not very big; the offensive line averages under 200 pounds and tops out around six feet. One of the unknowns, Smith said, is

whether his team will rise to the occasion when it has the opportunity to put a team away. “Until you have closed out a tough game, until you’ve beaten a really good team, you can’t coach them how to do that until they get the taste of what it’s like,” he said. “Last year we didn’t even play in a close BVAL game. We had a couple nail-biters in non-league play, especially our tie against Oakland. But in tough four quarters in BVAL play where everybody puts the focus ‘this is where it matters,’ we didn’t have that game that develops that perseverance or develops that foot-on-the-throat, finish-them mentality. “We didn’t have the opportunity to get in that situation last year. So that’s one thing we are really interested in this year. When we get an opportunity against a very good opponent in a close game down the stretch, how are we going to respond? It’s like a team going into the post-season for the first time. We have no experience being in a close league game on the varsity level. We have been successful in close games on the JV and freshman level, but not yet on the varsity level. So, response to that will be very interesting for us to witness.” Could this be the year Liberty knocks off a BVAL foe or two? “The Bay Valley Athletic League is loaded,” said Smith. “I can never sell our guys short. I have the confidence that we can beat anybody on our schedule. That being said, our guys have to go out and fight hard to win every game. I’d say the same thing about anybody. How’s Pittsburg going to do? They have the ability to win every BVAL game. But everybody they play has the abil-
ity to knock them off. Freedom might have the best skill athletes in the BVAL and the ability to win every game. But anybody in the league can knock them off. “We’re entering this season in the best place we’ve been, going into my fourth year. As far as our players go, their knowledge of our offense and defense, their work over the spring and the summer in the weight room, I think we are the strongest high school team I’ve ever coached. We might be the smallest but also the strongest. Pound for pound it might be the strongest high school team I’ve ever coached, depthwise especially. And we have the best varsity coaching staff I’ve ever had by far. Not even close, by far. What that will translate to, I’ll tell you in November.” Smith encourages more fans to come out to high school football games this fall. “The fans are part of what makes it special for the kids,” he said. “We need all the support our community can garner to where there’s no doubt on Friday nights where people will be.” Unfortunately, Liberty fans will get to see only two of the first eight games at home. Action kicks off with an Aug. 27 scrimmage at Dublin. The preseason season launches Sept. 3 at Clayton Valley, followed on Sept. 10 at Livermore, Homecoming against American on Sept. 17, back on the road Sept. 24 at Miramonte, a bye week and Oct. 8 at Fremont-Oakland. League play kicks off Oct. 15 at home against Heritage, followed Oct. 22 at Antioch and Oct. 29 at Pittsburg before finishing at home Nov. 5 against Deer Valley and Nov. 10 in the Bell Game against Freedom.

Antioch from page 24A guy. Lives in the weight room; 24 hours he’s working every day, all day long. He comes out by himself and runs routes. Great character. Can’t wait for him to play his senior year and see what he can do for us.” Lucido thought a weakness this year might be the young offensive line, but the players have stepped up. “It’s a big surprise,” he said. “I think it’s really a strong point for us right now. They are really good. We are really pleased with the way the offense is turning out. Most of them will be juniors, so I’ve got pretty much the whole line coming back next year. We are a pretty young team.” A senior, Dejon Lewis, will probably be starting at running back. “He’s doing really well,” said the coach. “Had some problems in the summer. Came out, he’s been working really hard the last month and a half. Really turned it around.” Another senior, James Hickman, who was one of the team’s best linebackers last year, is being moved to strong safety to replace an injured safety. “He’s stepped up,” said Lucido. “He will probably be one of the best safeties in the league. He goes both ways. He plays tight end also. So he’s one of those players to keep an eye on.” One thing that set Antioch apart from other teams the past three years was putting a girl player on the field every game: extra point and field goal kicker Dallas Butterfield, who graduated in June. But the girl kicker tradition will continue with Lucido’s daughter Gianna, who kicked for the freshman and JV teams. “She’s gotten a lot stronger. I’m happy with her performance right now,” said the coach and proud dad.

He believes this could be the season that Antioch, which has not notched a winning season since 2006, turns it around. “We’ll definitely compete,” he said. “I don’t want to say it’s a rebuilding year, because we have so much talent on the team. We will compete. We are looking at playoffs and to even go beyond that.” To prepare his players for the always tough Bay Valley Athletic League, Lucido put together what he called “a pretty tough” preseason schedule. It starts with Pittman on Sept. 3, followed by Clayton Valley and San Ramon Valley – all three games at home. The Panthers then go on the road to Napa before returning home against Mt. Diablo. “All of our preseason games are playoff teams,” said Lucido. “I wanted to challenge this team right off the bat to see where we stand and what we need to work on as a program. It’s going to test us. It’s my first year as head coach but I’ve been around a while. I didn’t want to schedule an easy schedule. I want to see where these guys stand and what we need to work on in the future.” Panther fans will get their first look at this year’s team with an inter-squad scrimmage today, Aug. 20. The freshmen start at 4 p.m., followed by the JV at 5:30 p.m. and the varsity at 7 p.m. The final preseason tune-up kicks off on Aug. 27, a scrimmage against Rodriguez High in Fairfield. League play launches Oct. 15 at Freedom, followed by Liberty (home), Deer Valley (away) and ending at home against Heritage and Pittsburg. “We have seven home games this year,” said Lucido. “So a lot of people are going to see us play.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

About two dozen of the ’Vettes will be on hand to glimmer up this year’s final Downtown Thursday event on First Street in Brentwood next week. Mayor Bob Taylor will also be on hand, allowing visitors a chance to either tell him he’s all wet or get him that way: he’ll be sitting in a dunk tank, raising money for the Brentwood Rotary. The fun starts at 5 p.m.

Superhero from page 1A boy has undergone seven open-heart surgeries to help correct the problem. But last year, doctors discovered that renal failure was putting too much pressure on Aaron’s heart and that he would need both a heart and kidney transplant in order to survive. Aaron was placed on the organ donor list in August of 2009, and from then until last week, the 5-year-old endured thrice-weekly kidney dialysis treatments at UCSF Medical Center in an effort to keep his system working until a donor could be found. That a donor eventually was found, and the reason it became available, is something the Tanners are acutely aware of. “We don’t have anything on the donor family yet,” said Elizabeth in an interview with The Press this week. “But we are so grateful.” The Tanners have been continuously grateful and amazed since arriving at the UCLA facility by chartered flight on Friday, when Aaron was whisked into surgery and his family and friends began holding vigil that his tiny, exhausted body would accept the new heart and kidney. The surgery was more complicated than his team of surgeons had anticipated, and at one point the procedure had to be stopped as they waited for Aaron to stabilize. The heart was transplanted first, and while difficult, was completed. But when
doctors went back in for the second phase – the kidney transplant – Aaron began to crash. “Surgeon just came to talk to me,” Elizabeth posted. “We overheard pages of many doctors to his OR and they had to stop (the surgery) because he was crashing … They feel they can now continue but not without risk. They told me the risk of continuing. Please pray. I’m on my knees; he has to pull through.” And so the sweet-faced boy with a love for the Power Rangers TV show did just that – displaying such superhero strengths of his own that doctors have taken to calling their little patient the Red (Power) Ranger. “His team is beaming from ear to ear,” wrote Elizabeth. “When they come to see him it’s really just to share the joy. They are as proud of him as we are and calling him a superhero too.” Throughout the yearlong ordeal, the Tanners, including older brothers Noah and Nicholas, have received an outpouring of support from friends, family and community well wishers flooding the pages of Facebook with the messages. “That Aaron continues to upswing is wonderful. Remember you never gave up hope and Aaron knew that all the way, that’s why he is a fighter from what you and Mark have instilled in him,” one Facebook friend posted.
As for their son’s gift of life, the Tanners hope one day to be able to thank the donor family in person. “They (doctors) require you to wait some time before you’re given any information, since the donor family is grieving and recipients are getting through major surgery, some successful and some not,” said Elizabeth. “But I can’t wait to meet them. I do know that it came from far away, the Pacific Northwest. The surgeon told us that it was a three and a half hour trip each way. It’s all so incredible how it has fallen into place.” If all continues as planned, Aaron is expected to remain at UCLA for the next three months, undergoing biopsies and tests to make sure his system doesn’t reject the transplants. After that, he will

We could never have survived without their encouragement and love.” A fund at the ECC/Bank of Agriculture and Commerce, 2251 Balfour Road in Brentwood, remains open in the Tanner family’s name for those wishing to make a donation.

Radiant Barrier Insulation protects from energy woes ‘Space Blanket’ keeps home cool in summer, warm in winter We were all amazed at how a Thermos bottle keeps hot liquids hot and cold beverages cold. What if attic insulation worked the same way? Radiant Barrier insulation does work that way, and you may have seen it on display at the Brentwood CornFest. The experts at A Better Insulation Co., Demonstrated the thin, aluminum “space blanket” material that can keep homes cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Their website – www.abetter insulation.com – offers many testimonials from happy clients, who vouch for the effectiveness of the insulation. “I have to admit, I was skeptical about putting any kind of ‘tin foil’ in my attic when someone recommended A Better Insulation, but what a difference,” wrote one satisfied customer. “At the sales presentation, when I put that little piece of
radiant barrier to my face and felt how much of my own body heat was reflecting back, I couldn’t believe it.” “That stuff works period.” “And now that I have it in my house, my heating & air conditioning run 30 to 40% less, Summer & Winter. That was unheard of in this house before. A Better Insulation knows their stuff, the price is right, and the crew was great.” We will demonstrate Radiant Barrier, and offer a Free Estimate in your home.
