Coppers seek help catching copper crooks The City of Oakley, like many agencies throughout the country, has experienced a significant rise in the theft of copper wiring from street lighting throughout the community. The city has spent approximately $60,000 in the last year alone in repairs and theft prevention. In addition to the cost, copper wire theft creates safety hazards by leaving parks, streets, and neighborhoods in the dark. No area of the city is off limits to this crime. The community’s participation and support will help maintain public safety, reduce costs and allow the city to continue the level of

Firefighters equal to equine emergency A local horse that found itself in a stinky situation earlier this month was rescued from its malodorous misadventure. ECCFPD Battalion Chief Jake Gonzalez reported that firefighters, along with

Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office and Animal Control, were called to the 8000 block of Byron Highway around lunchtime on April 1 to rescue a horse that had fallen into a septic tank. Rescuers worked

to first to stabilize the horse, then place two straps around it in order to lift it from the hole. Firefighters expanded the hole around the horse, and a Knightsen resident’s tractor safely lifted it from the

septic tank. The horse sustained only minor injuries. Officials suspect that the weight of the horse caused the underground septic tank to collapse as the creature passed over it.

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage Matters Natural Disasters Back in February 2010, an 8.8-magnitude earthquake rocked the country of Chile and triggered a massive tsunami over the Pacific Ocean. That same month, on a much lesser scale, the Federal Hous-ing Administration (FHA) released a statement that sent tidal waves through the lending industry: FHA would be reducing their maximum allowed seller concessions – otherwise known as a seller credit – from 6% to 3%. However, FHA’s tidal wave never quite caught traction and in July of 2010, they (FHA) released another statement: a reduction in the maximum seller allowed concession – again sometimes referred to as a seller credit – was coming, but it wasn’t quite here yet. As the earthquake in Chile caused the tsunami over the Pacific, the Fed-eral Housing Administration did not want to implement a guideline that’s ripple effect would be responsible for wreaking more havoc over the lending industry. Let me explain… If you as a buyer need a 6% credit from the seller for closing costs, and the seller needs a certain net profit in order to gain from the sale, then there is only one thing left to do…have the appraiser inflate the value so you both get what you want. WRONG, and this is why FHA wants to implement the maximum seller paid costs of 3% - to protect the natural integrity of the

markets. On the flip side of the coin, and to argue against the potential 3% seller credit cap, smaller dollar purchases require more than 3% in closing costs. If you’re buying a home for $150,000 then 3% is $4,500, which will not cover your closing costs. Whereas, if you’re buying a home for $300,000 then that same 3% is $9,000, which will more than cover your closing costs. That said, their reasoning for the potential decrease in credit is easier to understand than the origins of a tsunami, but so was the argument against the potential policy. The Federal Housing Administration does not want markets, or individual houses, to become artificially over inflated so that both buyer and seller come out ahead. At the same time, they wish to stay true to their Mission Statement of, “…sustainable inclusive communities and quality affordable homes for all.” So as the climate of our current lending industry stays in constant flux, and one “natural disaster” away from more major damage, one thing is for certain; FHA will not be making any major waves. As of April 2011, the maximum allowed seller credit on FHA insured loans is still 6%!

Vintage arborists For the last several months, Kim Ambrosino’s third-grade class at Vintage Parkway Elementary has wondered how each of us can make a difference in our environment. Working with Michelle Cox, a certified interpretative guide for Contra Costa Water District, the class completed several California Environmental Education activities to increase awareness of the impact we make on the environment. In addition to learning about animal

and plant adaptations, students planted a red leaf oak tree in Oakley’s Magnolia Park with the help of Oakley Landscape Supervisor Danny Yore and city worker Ramon Cervantes. Students learned that the tree will contribute shade and beauty for future generations as well as provide a habitat for birds, insects and other wildlife. It was a rewarding and fun experience for all involved. – Contributed by Kim Ambrosino

Council doesn’t chicken out on ordinance by Samie Hartley Staff Writer

Oakley residents flocked to a recent City Council meeting to discuss a proposed ordinance amendment that would allow up to three chickens per household in residential areas. While the amendment also discussed the number of horses, cats, dogs, roosters and rabbits residents are allowed to keep as pets, the discussion focused on chickens. Whereas the Brentwood City Council last year voted against the chickens 3-2, the Oakley council approved the ordinance amendment 4-0 (Mayor Jim Frazier was absent), ruffling a few feathers but pleasing many in the audience of more than 60 attendees. Several residents spoke against allowing residents to keep chickens as pets, forewarning that chickens cannot be domesticated and are a nuisance, destroying gardens and front yards with their pecking and scratching. “Chickens are not pets,” said Ray Speetzen. “They’re livestock. They’re a food source in the forms of eggs and meat, and they belong on a ranch or farm – land that is zoned agricultural, not residential.” Lawrence Leckband also testified that chickens cause nothing but trouble. He raised chickens for many years and informed the council of the filth chickens generate – including lice infestations – and

noted that chickens attract mice, squirrels, cockroaches and other unwanted houseguests. He also warned the council about giving chicks to children as presents – which is common this time of year during the Easter season. “My daughter received two chickens for Easter,” Leckband said. “They were chicks, so they were cute, and that was OK, but she lost interest in about six months. Then she got lice from the chickens. You could never really domesticate a chicken. Oh sure, you can pick it up and carry it around, but that’s it.” Chicken proponents countered that when a chicken causes a nuisance to neighbors, it’s usually the chicken owner’s fault. As with any pet, the owner is responsible for housing the pet in a secure environment, caring for it and cleaning up after it – an argument Councilmember Pat Anderson supported. “This is a community in transition,” Anderson said. “It is rural in some areas;

it is a quilt of all kinds of different housing types, and I am proud of that, but it is a community in transition. And I think because of that we are going to see things that were, things that are, and things in the middle. And I think this is one of those middle areas that we need to deal with. … I do believe that this is an issue about owners – that there is a lot of weight upon how you take care of your property, your possessions.” Anderson said she was warned by Brentwood Mayor Bob Taylor that emotions would run high during the discussion, a prediction validated by the cheers and applause of chicken proponents throughout the session. In order to keep the meeting moving along, Vice Mayor Kevin Romick asked those audience members on several occasions to curb their enthusiasm. The chicken debate came to the Oakley council after Oakley resident Roberto Ramos’ dogs dug under a fence and killed two chickens belonging to a neighbor.

The incident forced Ramos to get rid of his dogs and motivated him to gather signatures for a petition urging the council to vote against the amendment. Anderson said she appreciated the petition, but since the document contained no phone numbers, she was unable to contact the petitioners and gather their opinions. And while the incident involving Ramos and neighbor Cheryl Metzler brought the chicken debate to the forefront, Anderson said the council was not in the business of dealing with that particular neighborhood dispute, but of updating a local ordinance and giving the city’s code enforcement officer a concrete set of parameters to consider when issuing citations related to pet nuisances. Under the amended ordinance, households in residential areas may have up to three dogs, five cats, three chickens and three rabbits. No roosters are allowed in residential areas. Horses will be permitted in Residential Zone 40, defined on the city’s website at www.ci.oakley.ca.us. Structures to house chickens and other small pets must be at least 25 feet from all dwellings, and pet owners are required to keep the structure clean, allowing no offensive odors or areas for flies to circulate. Feed containers must be covered to deter rodents and insects, and small farming activities must be conducted in a way that does not create a public nuisance.

FREE LOAN MOD/SHORT SALE SEMINAR I wanted to let you know about a free upcoming seminar I’m putting on about short sales and loan modifications. This will not be one of those seminars where I just “tease” you with partial bits of information and then the rest is a sales pitch for something else. There are just so many people who have questions in this area and there is a lot of bad information floating around that I am happy to share what I’ve learned. I will present for about 50 minutes, and then I’ll stay after for as long as it takes to answer questions. I’ll go over when you should try a loan mod vs. a short sale, and we’ll discuss if it is ever OK to just walk away. I’ve recently gone through a successful loan modification on my own home. I’ll be happy to share with you what worked for me so you can try your own (I don’t do loan mods for other people), and what your odds of success are. I’ll also discuss how short sales and foreclosures work in the event that a loan mod doesn’t work out. I’ll also discuss how we got in this real estate mess, and my prediction for the future of our market. I’ll also

talk in general terms about the 1099/forgiven debt issue, and whether lenders can pursue you after a short sale, loan mod or foreclosure for the deficiency balance. The last time I did this, the seminar filled up quickly and I had to turn people away, so this time I’m doing the exact same seminar three times on May 4th at 7 pm, and then May 7th at 2:00 and 4:30 pm to give you some options. You must RSVP to reserve a seat. Best way is to email me at Brian@SharpHomesOnline.com, or call at (925) 998-9712. If you can’t make one of these dates/times, shoot me an email and I’ll put you on list for next time. Or go ahead and contact me anyways and we can discuss your situation over the phone or in person. I’m happy to be a resource for people during these difficult times, and I don’t charge just to talk about your situation!

Cherryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tax Facts... By Cherry Comstock

Tax Seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Over, Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Have Some Fun Everyone is looking for those deductions that will help reduce their tax liability, here are a few strange, but true write offs: 1. Free Beer? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; YES â&#x20AC;&#x201C; strange but true. A gas station owner gave his customers free beer in lieu of trading stamps and the Tax Court said yes, this is a legitimate business expense and tax deductible, which makes the next entry even strangerâ&#x20AC;Ś 2. Free whisky â&#x20AC;&#x201C; NO - One gentleman thought a case or two of whisky would make nice client gifts, and thus tried to deduct them on his annual tax return. The category he chose was â&#x20AC;&#x153;meals & entertainmentâ&#x20AC;? saying it was for client entertainment. However, not only was it not allowed, it was a gift that violated state laws. Ouch! 3. Fake Boobs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; YES - This one is infamous. A stripper going by the name of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chesty Loveâ&#x20AC;? used her hard-earned savings to boost the size of her boobs. She figured it would get her more tips and you guessed it, the write-off was allowed, being considered a stage prop essential to her act. 4. A Mink Coat â&#x20AC;&#x201C; NO - furâ&#x20AC;Ś itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so tacky these days. One man tried deducting a mink coat claiming that it was a conversation piece when visiting clients with his wife (what was the topic? tackiness?) Fortunately, he was denied.

Dancing lessons â&#x20AC;&#x201C; NO - Dancing With The Stars may be popular, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going down well with the IRS as the subject of a deduction. You CANNOT take dancing as a deduction for medical expenses, and the following reasons are outlawed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; dancing to relive varicose veins, dancing to cure arthritis and finally, dancing to alleviate nervous disorders.

Following a successful test, the section of pipe is emptied of water, dried thoroughly and placed back in service. PG&E will provide updates on progress as hydrostatic testing work proceeds. This process will validate the safe operating pressure of the pipeline. Hydrostatic pressure tests take about two weeks to complete and require pipeline segments to be taken out of service for several days. PG&E will continue to provide gas to customers from an alternate source while work is in progress. Service will not be interrupted. Because PG&E safely empties the gas from the pipeline segments prior to hydrostatic testing, customers may smell gas in the area of the tests. Residents concerned about the smell of gas are encouraged to call the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 24-hour customer service line at 800-743-5000 or call 911 immediately. Customers may also see temporary traffic safety cones and detour signs, PG&E and PG&E-contracted field personnel, testing equipment (such as above-ground pipes and valves), and machinery and support equipment (such as excavators and water tanks). PG&E also plans to conduct several pipeline assessment tests throughout the Bay Area. This work may require crews to excavate around the pipe, X-ray welds, test the strength of the pipe or use a robotic camera to inspect the inside of the pipe.

Keep Antioch Beautiful Day Neighborhood by Justin Lafferty

Cleanup May 7

Staff Writer

A couple years ago, former Antioch City Councilwoman Martha Parsons was participating in the police-managed monthly cleanup when she got an idea: why not dedicate a day for this activity and spread it out throughout the city? On Saturday, volunteers will come together for the second annual Keep Antioch Beautiful Day, held in various parks and schools throughout the city. The event runs from 8:30 to 11 a.m. at Almond Ridge Park, Antioch City Hall, Antioch High School, Bidwell Elementary, Belshaw Elementary, Carmen Dragon Elementary, Dallas Ranch Middle School, Diablo Vista Elementary, Hillcrest Park, Jack London Elementary, John Muir Elementary, Mission Elementary, Park Middle School and the Red Caboose Restaurant. After the bags of trash have been collected, one of the sponsors, Honeywell, will host a free barbecue lunch for volunteers from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Contra Loma Reservoir Regional Park. “It’s just a great opportunity to get out in the sun and give back to the community,” said Diane Gibson-Gray, executive director of the Arts and Cultural Foundation of Antioch and an organizer of the event. “I think everybody is so aware of limited funding for cities, schools, whatever, so they’re willing to pick up the task and go out there and do it with family and friends.” Last year, more than 900 people participated in the event, but that was largely because of the Disney “Give a Day, Get a Day,” promotion, which gave children a free ticket to Disneyland for volunteering. This year, however, there’s no such giveaway, so signups have lagged a bit. According to Gibson-Gray, about 115 people have volunteered, but more are signing up every day. Organizers are doing whatever they can to get the word out.

Olivia Alahuzos, 9, stretches to reach one more piece of trash during last April’s Keep Antioch Beautiful event. This year’s effort is scheduled for Saturday. Parsons said she’s hoping for at least half of last year’s total. “We have more places, so we’ll cover more of the city,” Parsons said. “The sign-ups are down, but there’s still a lot of people that want to help the city, so I’m looking forward to a good day on Saturday.” Gibson-Gray noted that last year, people from all over, not just Antioch, came out to help. A family from Salinas, in Central California, with ties to Antioch, drove up last year to help out. She’s crossing her fingers that word of the event will spread, drawing volunteers from all over East County and beyond. “Everybody’s got to do something to help ourselves and each other,” Gibson-Gray said. Parsons and Gibson-Gray said they hope to tap into the growing volunteer spirit that is flowing throughout the city. Much like last year, Parsons has been working with several local businesses to sponsor the event. Some teachers in Antioch schools have been encourag-

The next installment of the Antioch Police Department’s Neighborhood Cleanup Program is scheduled for Saturday, May 7 from 9 to 11 a.m. Volunteers should report to the Williamson Ranch Park, 5000 Lone Tree Way, where they’ll receive instructions and equipment. The parking lot is accessible off of Williamson Ranch Drive. The targeted area is within walking distance. Future Neighborhood Cleanup events are scheduled for the first Saturday of every month. The Neighborhood Cleanup Program is a collaboration of United Citizens for Better Neighborhoods (UCBN), community volunteers, the Antioch Police Department’s Crime Prevention Commission, the Neighborhood Watch Program and the City of Antioch Public Works Department. ing students to come out for this year’s event by making it a community-service project for their classes. Parsons hopes this will spread the word among youth and encourage them to keep giving back to the community. “Once you teach a child about community service, it becomes a lifelong thing that they do,” Parsons said. “Not necessarily cleaning the streets, but it might be working in a library or dedicating themselves to working at a hospital. They get the idea at an early age that giving back feels good.” To register for the event, visit www.art4antioch.org/ keep-antioch-beautiful-2011.asp. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Locals have a ball with bocce by Justin Lafferty Staff Writer

Playing bocce began as a way for Antioch residents Manny and Lydia Romo to get out of the house and do something together. They didn’t anticipate needing a passport. Bocce took the husband and wife team to tournaments in Chicago, St. Louis, Canada, China and South Africa. “We’re both sportsoriented,” Manny said. “We found a sport we could enjoy at the same time.” The game has its origins in Italy, but its short learning curve and accessibility to all ages has made it popular in the East Bay. Recreational leagues are active in Brentwood, Oakley and Antioch, and local bocce federations attract competitive players. Former NFL coaches John Madden and Steve Mariucci host a popular charity bocce event in Livermore every spring. Similar to the game of horseshoes, players from two teams roll balls in a rectangular pit in an attempt to get closest to a smaller white ball, called a pallino. Each team has four bocce balls, roughly the size of a softball but weighing about three pounds each. Points are tallied by rolling, or “lagging” the ball closer to the pallino than the balls of the other team, in the same vein as curling. For each ball that stops closer to the target than the opposition’s, a point is scored. The first team to 12 points wins the game.

Oakley resident Vera Novero lags a bocce ball during recreation league play on Tuesday. Novero is one of many newcomers to bocce, a growing sport in the East Bay. “Anybody can play,” said Denny Kinsel, an Antioch resident and 25-year bocce veteran. “Some people come and bring their lunch and their wine and make a fun thing about it.” After starting off by playing casually in the mid-’70s for the Antioch Bocce Fed-

eration, the Romos crossed paths with people from the Martinez Bocce Federation, where the roughly 1,500 members take the game more seriously. From there, they began playing in competitive tournaments. see Bocce page 24A

Antioch softball off to hot start by Justin Lafferty Staff Writer

Antioch senior pitcher Paris Imholz leads a Panthers team that will compete with Heritage and Freedom for BVAL softball supremacy.

As the saying goes, to know your enemy, you must become your enemy. Maybe that’s why Antioch High hired Brook Russo, a former assistant coach at Liberty and Freedom, to lead the varsity softball team this year. That could also be why Russo added Amanda Williams, former Freedom ace and sister of Falcons sophomore pitcher Madison Williams, as the Panthers’ pitching coach. So far, the approach is working. Antioch has started the season 9-3 overall (1-1 in Bay Valley Athletic League play) and is locked in an apparent threeway race for the league crown. Defending champion Freedom has gone 7-5 (1-1 BVAL) through an ambitious schedule while Heritage (8-5, 3-0 BVAL) could be the team to beat. The Patriots topped Freedom 10-6 on April 12 and the Panthers 3-1 two days later. “That’s always our big thing – to beat Freedom,” junior second baseman Nicollete Redfearn said. “I feel like our biggest competition is Heritage. Since we’ve wanted Freedom for so long, they’re definitely beatable.” The elder Williams has an astute student in the see Panthers page 25A

The coach who guided the Deer Valley High girls varsity basketball team to a deep playoff run this season will move up to the college ranks. Mark Anger will leave the Wolverines program after one year, taking the head coaching job of the Chabot College women’s basketball team. Under Anger’s leadership, Deer Valley went 20-8 overall and finished 10-0 against Bay Valley Athletic League competition. Led by Fresno State bound senior guard Raven Fox, the Wolverines lost in the third round of the North Coast Section playoffs to Carondelet. “It’s a step up, a new challenge,” Anger said. “I feel bad about leaving there after a year, but this is a great opportunity.” Anger will replace longtime friend Don Queyrel, the 14-year coach of the Gladiators, who has stepped down from the position. Chabot, a junior college located in Hayward, competes in the Coast Conference. Two seasons ago, Chabot compiled a 15-11 record; 5-5 in conference play. The Gladiators won the Northern California playoffs that year and lost to Fullerton College in the state tournament. Their record last season fell to an undistinguished 13-14 overall (3-7 conference). Anger said his primary goal, as at Deer Valley, is to get Chabot to the state playoffs. The Gladiators will not be Anger’s first college gig; in the ’90s, he was the head coach at Holy Names University in Oakland for two years. His ties to the East Bay include founding the East Bay Xplosion AAU basketball program. Anger praised the Deer Valley staff and faculty, and believes the Wolverines should field a strong squad next season. “I had a great year at Deer Valley, and the administration was incredibly supportive,” Anger said. “I think the team next year will be very, very good.”

Depth the key for Liberty swimmers by Michael Dixon Correspondent

Cindi Coats might be in her first year as head coach of the Liberty High varsity swim team, but as an assistant for five seasons, she’s not new to the program. Now halfway through the season, Coats said her team has exceeded expectations, partly due to the depth of the boys, who make up more than half of the team’s 57 athletes – rare in the world of high school swimming. “With boys, both varsity and JV, we are solid at pretty much everything,” said Coats. “I have a lot of kids who came out this year that have never swam on a team before. They have just blown me away, which is why we’re doing so well.” Of that group, Coats singled out junior Tom Dwyer, who specializes in the 50- and 100-meter freestyle races. Dwyer races mainly in the junior varsity heats, which he normally wins handily. Part of the reason Dwyer is relegated to JV competition is that the five male swimmers ahead of him can compete in any race at nearly any distance. “You can swim only three swimmers, and unfortunately, I am just that deep,” Coats said. “It’s a good problem to have. The last five years, we have never been this deep in boys.” Seniors Tyler Lightfoot, Austin Kimbrell and Alex Soderberg will either swim or play water polo in college next year. Fellow senior Joey Cecchini will train to be a Navy SEAL.

Liberty senior swimmer Joey Cecchini, who plans to become a Navy SEAL, has been a key part of a Lions team hoping to top Heritage for the league crown. Joining them at the top of the varsity races is junior J.T. Sarmento. Despite the current abundance of upperclassmen, Liberty’s boys have plenty to look forward to. “We have a lot of young people who came out, and they’re really stepping up,” said Co-captain Soderberg. “Not only do we have more boys than girls, but we have a lot of younger guys, which is really rare.” While the boys team is deep, it’s by no means the only group carrying the team. The girls are also strong, particularly in the short-

to mid-range races. Leading the girls are seniors Jessica Rodriguez and Lindsey Hull along with sophomore Rosie Doria. Hull and Rodriguez aren’t focused on specific events; they’re switched around based on their opponents. Doria specializes in the individual medley and the 100meter freestyle. “We’ve gotten a lot better, even compared to the beginning of the season,” said Co-captain Rodriguez. “It wasn’t that I didn’t believe in people before, but they are blowing

my mind away with how dedicated they are, and how hard they go in practices.” For Coats, the biggest difference this season is that the team has entered more meets than in the previous five years. While this season has exceeded Coats’ expectations, she’s still looking forward to the Lions May 6 meet against the defending league champion Heritage. “Our big meet is going to be Heritage, certainly for our boys,” Coats said. “For our girls, that and Freedom.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

BOYFL Falcons preparing to fly again

The Brentwood Oakley Youth Football League Tiny Mites team is ready for another year of Falcons football.

Panthers from page 21A circle in the Bowling Green State bound Paris Imholz. The only pitcher to toe the rubber for Antioch this season, Imholz owns a 9-3 record and 0.77 earned run average in 82 innings. She’s fanned 100 batters and has yet to allow a home run. At the plate, Imholz leads the Panthers with a .429 batting average and six stolen bases. “We’ve come a long way since the start

The Brentwood Oakley Youth Football League (BOYFL) has been part of the Brentwood, Oakley and Discovery Bay communities for the past 10 years. Now in its 10th season, the league is larger and stronger than ever. Last season, BOYFL fielded football teams in all age categories, ranging from Tiny Mites (5-7) to Midgets (12-15) plus cheer teams on most levels. As the league believes all youth should be given the opportunity to play, it holds no tryouts and makes no cuts. The Falcon cheerleaders have traveled to Disney World in Orlando, where they compete in a national competition against other Pop Warner leagues from across the nation. The Brentwood Oakley Falcons are on the cutting edge when it comes to coach training and player equipment. Over the last year, the league’s board members have made unprecedented investments toward new football gear and will be making other major in-

of the season,” Imholz said. “We’ve faced stiff competition and we’ve held our own against them. I’m proud of that. I feel like we can only get better.” Antioch features a solid infield, comprising senior third baseman Stephanie Mathias, who will attend Weber State next year, sophomore shortstop Kristine Ball, Redfearn and senior first baseman Kelsey Cast. Cast is hitting at a .353 clip; Redfearn

owns a .308 average and has scored eight runs. Russo also commended the work of senior catcher Shannon West. “They’re bonding pretty well as a team,” Russo said. “Everyone has a role and they’re all doing a good job.” Panthers players noted that the team seems much closer this year than in recent memory. Imholz, a four-year varsity athlete, said they’ve spent more time together

vestments this season toward athlete safety. The Brentwood-Oakley association focuses on the scholastics of all the athletes as well as the safety and fundamentals of the sport. BOYFL is operated by a dedicated group of volunteers from the local communities. The league is a nonprofit organization and therefore depends on the talents, skills and assets of its volunteers, who work behind the scenes to make the association work. The BOYFL Falcons football and cheer are part of the National Pop Warner association, founded in 1929 and serving more than 400,000 participants in 42 states and several nations. BOYFL welcomes kids 5-15 to participate in the football and cheer programs. Registration for the 2011 Football and Cheer season is currently underway; a limited number of opennings remain. For more information on becoming part of the Falcon family, visit www.boyfl-falcons.com. – Contributed by Stacey Chiaro

as a team outside the softball diamond. Russo also put more focus on offseason conditioning, which Imholz believes has helped. Antioch is hoping the increased team unity will continue to pay off. The Panthers face Freedom for the first time on May 3, a game Williams has been looking forward to all season long. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Fraud from page 1A congregation for $400,000 in donations to cover the rent, hundreds of thousands more than was needed for the lease payments. The rent through the end of 2010 has since been paid, but nothing has been paid since December. MVCC’s lease with the OUESD expires in June, and will not be extended, said Superintendent Rick Rogers. As of Tuesday, however, officials at the school were soliciting non-refundable payments for summer school, telling callers that the session would be held in the current location. According to the state attorney general’s records, Hanoum founded MVCC as a 501(c)3 nonprofit California corporation in 2004. Those records also show that MVCC’s corporate charter has been suspended since 2009 for non-payment of taxes. According to state law, a corporation with a suspended charter cannot legally conduct business. In addition to Rister’s criminal investigation, Hanoum also faces a $1.2 million civil lawsuit filed by Quinlan. The suit alleges that Hanoum approached Quinlan in 2005, immediately after the death of her husband, and counseled her to take her life savings and investments out of the stock market and place them in the care of Hanoum and MVCC. Quinlan and her husband had been members of MVCC when the church was located in Brentwood. Hanoum assured Quinlan her money

Since 1986, more than 5,300 public schools have been designated or redesignated a Distinguished School. Although participation is voluntary, the Distinguished School award is a highly prized honor. Elementary and secondary schools are recognized during alternate years. “Becoming a Distinguished School is a direct reflection of the dedication, hard work and vision of each school’s education community,” said State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson. “They have succeeded despite a bleak economic environment and have endeavored to maintain their momentum and focus.” Honorees will be recognized during an awards dinner and ceremony at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim on May 20.

Despite her request that Hanoum produce a deed of trust or proof of ownership on the two properties, none was given. To date, none of Quinlan’s investment has been repaid, and in February of this year she filed suit against MVCC, Jerry Hanoum and Jerry Dellinger – a Brentwood businessman who was the founding secretary of MVCC and is now listed as the organization’s president. Quinlan filed suit in February, and a court date of April 29 has been set. She is seeking repayment of the two notes, plus treble damages for elder financial abuse and mental suffering. The total is $1.2 million. The suit states that the “defendant’s conduct as plaintiff’s pastors in coercing plaintiff into lending them substantial amounts of money which defendant had no intention to repay shortly after the death of plaintiff’s husband and falsely asserting that the promissory notes were secured by real property was done with the intent to defraud. “Defendants’ intimidating behavior and deceptive actions in asserting that the promissory notes were secured by real property when in fact they were not, that investments were safe and repayable with 10 days notice, were made with malicious intent to coerce plaintiff to loan defendants substantial sums of money and that defen-

hanting “Hey-hey, ho-ho, corporate deadbeats gotta go,” supporters of MoveOn.org assembled Monday in front of Bank of America in downtown Brentwood to protest the nation’s tax system. Brandishing signs reading “I paid my taxes; have you?” and “Stop supporting a system that is against your survival,” demonstrators decried the agenda that promotes budget cuts to public services and tax breaks for large corporations.

dants has no intent to repay, caused plaintiff to endure mental suffering. Defendants actions caused fear, agitation, confusion, severe depression and other forms of serious emotional distress in plaintiff.” Attorney Heidi Coad-Hermelin, who represents Quinlan, believes her client will prevail. “There is absolutely no doubt that the money is owed,” said Coad-Hermelin. “I believe the facts are there, and the breach of contract is as plain as day.” Hanoum refused to comment for this story. Reached by cell phone, Hanoum said only “I’m sorry, I have nothing to say to you.” Phone calls made to Dellinger were not returned. In the winter of 2007, former MVCC member Marsha Nichols and her husband Bob were approached by Hanoum to invest $150,000 in Hanoum Estate. “We were invited to spend an evening out at Hanoum Estate by the pastor and his wife and I remember thinking how nice it was that we were being invited to their home,” said Nichols. “When we got there, there were other people there as well, and they wined and dined us, gave us the tour of the grounds and really made us feel special. And then it got down to what his vision was for the house and land and how he was looking for investors to help him make the transformation happen, and how he was only selecting a few individuals to get in on the investment.” According to Nichols, Hanoum was

guaranteeing a 50-percent return on their investment within three years. Nichols said she and her husband were concerned about tax consequences and Hanoum’s ability to guarantee such a large return, and eventually declined to make the investment. But not long afterward, Nichols said Hanoum learned that her recently deceased son had left a small inheritance to his three children, and he again approached Nichols to invest her son’s money with MVCC. “He (Hanoum) said he didn’t like doing anything under $100,000 but in this situation, in the interest of my grandchildren, he would be willing to take less,” said Nichols of the approximately $50,000 trust fund. “He said he could take the money and invest it for my grandchildren, and if we were needing it at any time he could get it back to us in three days’ time. We eventually said no, that it wasn’t our money to invest, and that was that … Once we said no, his attitude changed. He wasn’t openly rude, just kind of indifferent. He just kind of ignored us.” Both Rister and Nichols believe there might be hundreds of other parishioners – past and present – who have invested with Hanoum and never seen a repayment on their loan. Rister and Evenson both encourage anyone who feels they might have been a victim of fraud, or who might have information pertaining to their investigations, to contact them. Rister can be reached at 707-374-6366, and Evenson can be reached at 925-634-6911. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Rivers threaten deadly current events O

upstream to an elevation of 4,000 feet and you find a valley enclosed by soaring walls of granite plumed with waterfalls and streaked by tumbling creeks. The tributary is called Merced. The valley is known as Yosemite. It’s here that the Sierra’s winter melt is most vividly dramatized. The Merced’s tributaries are unlike any other: two of the world’s 10 tallest waterfalls – Sentinel and Yosemite, the latter being the tallest in North America – and their retinue, no less magnificent, with names like Bridalveil, Ribbon, Illilouette, Vernal, Nevada and Snow Creek. Right now they’re not so much waterfalls as water cannons, a mesmerizing measure of the water content of this year’s snowpack: 163 percent of normal in the central Sierra. Judging from the effect of the snow melt of 2006, when the pack was measured at a paltry 143 percent of normal, we can expect road crews to be clearing snow 20 feet deep from Yosemite’s Tioga Road well past Memorial Day. In 1806, an expedition led by Gabriel Moraga came upon a river after a long, hot and dusty journey. To express his gratitude, Moraga named the river El Rio de Nuestra Señora de la Merced – River of Our Lady of Mercy. In the spring of 2011, there’s nothing merciful about the Merced or its brethren in Northern California. If our snowborn rivers are awe-inspiring, they’re also deadly.

Winter melt cannonades over the crest of Nevada Fall on a 600-foot plunge toward Emerald Pool in Yosemite National Park.

Outside from page 2B Modesto resident Charles Bennett piloted his newly purchased fiberglass boat down the Tuolumne River to West Modesto. I spoke with Modesto Police Department Detective Steven Stanfield, who said that as Bennett was in the process of throwing a towline to a friend, the boat began taking on water. Bennett tried to prevent the boat from escaping downstream, but was pulled into the current and swept away. His body was recovered in the foliage along an S-curve in the riverbank by Modesto Fire Department personnel. A river suffused with winter melt is more than a match for us humans. The shock of icy water and grip of hypothermia rob the body of strength and muscle coordination. The mind becomes confused and panic sets in. Aiding and abetting in the assault are the river’s heavy volume and powerful currents, which can carry a victim miles downstream before rescue can be attempted. In May of 2006, the Truckee River was flowing at four times its volume of the previous year. On May 1, 20-year-old Edward Wilt of Sun Valley and three friends waded to a small island along the Truckee near Painted Rock east of Reno. From there, Wilt and one of his friends jumped into the river, apparently for the fun of it. His friend made it out. Wilt’s remains were found three weeks later near Wadsworth. You needn’t pull a crazy stunt to be

claimed by the river, even down in Contra Costa County. Recreational boaters such as Bennett, plus skiers, swimmers, campers and hikers – all minding their own business – can be vulnerable to a sudden infusion of cold, fast and heavy water. It was May 21, 2006, a day before Wilt’s body was hauled out of the Truckee. I was at the source, standing on a rock as big as a room overhanging the Merced in Yosemite Valley. Tons of winter melt per second thundered past. Sensing the river’s mass reach out and drag me toward it like a maelstrom drags a doomed ship into its vortex, I got low fast, cross-legged, desperate to drop my center of gravity and dispel the fantasy of falling. The river was a different creature out of mythology that day: not an angry stepmother but a beast trapped in the cage of its banks, infuriated by my lack of respect, leaping at me and slamming against my granite perch. Two feet to my right the rock dropped away a mere 10 feet to the water. In Yosemite, you can fall to your death from impressive elevations. All I needed was 10 feet. It was a memorable day in the high country; should I fall, the Merced’s icy embrace would be my last memory. I hoisted myself onto all fours and crabbed my way to the middle of the rock. The river, catching the scent of other prey, snarled on by. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Move it or lose it Exercise is important for people of all ages. It helps your weight, your body, your mind and, of course, your heart. Check with your doctor before beginning any exercise program, especially if you’re obese or smoke or suffer from chronic illnesses such as diabetes or heart disease. Your doctor will suggest exercises best for you and encourage you to start a mild program to strengthen your body – without hurting you. Walking is a wonderful way to get your heart pumping and build muscle tone. A short walk every day at a mild pace is a great way to start. As you feel stronger, you can always go a little farther and faster. Walking is better than running or jogging for older bones and joints. Make sure you wear a comfortable pair of shoes and socks to avoid blisters or rubbing of the skin. Wear a loose and comfortable pair of pants and a top and carry a light water bottle to avoid dehydration. For safety’s sake, a stroll with a friend is also a good idea. Chatting makes the time go by faster – and keeps you breathing. As the warmer weather rolls in, get ready to pull on a swimsuit and take a swim. The low impact and high resistance make for exercise that’s easiest on the bones, joints and muscles. Even if you just float around and use your arms and legs to stay above the water, you’re using muscles. If you do standing exercises and are concerned about balance, hold onto a table

or a steady chair while doing your routine. As you progress and feel more stable, hang on by a finger or two but always exercise near a supporting object in case you fall or get dizzy. Make sure you don’t hold your breath while you exercise, as this can affect your blood pressure. Use small, steady steps and rest if you get tired or dizzy. When walking, choose a path that provides a bench that can be used as a rest stop. If you use a wheelchair or scooter, you can do chair exercises. The upper body also needs of stretching and strengthening. Small 1-pound weights or even a soup container make good weight-lifting tools. Never start off with too heavy a weight. One pound is more than ample – you’ll feel the difference in just a few weeks. Alternate every other day, giving the muscle time to rest, and then start working it again. According to the National Institute on Aging, some form of exercise two to three times per week can greatly reduce the development of dementia and/or Alzheimer’s. The study began in 1994 and followed 1,740 people over 65 for 6.2 years until 2001. Researchers determined that the people in the study who exercised at least 15 minutes per day for three to four days a week reduced their risk of contracting these diseases by 32 percent.

ATTENTION ALL RECIPIENTS OF DE PUY

DEFECTIVE HIP IMPLANTS Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rely on the company who gave you a potentially defective hip implant to advise you on your legal rights! 24) Employment 55) Health

DePuy Orthopaedics, a division of Johnson & Johnson, has issued a worldwide recall of itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ASRTM Acetabular System for Total Hip Replacement, after determining that these hip implants may fail at an alarming rate. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;metal-on-metalâ&#x20AC;? composition of these implants can release particles into the patient, potentially causing serious and painful reactions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sometimes requiring complete revision surgery. Reportedly, Johnson & Johnson has been seeking medical releases from recipients so that their claims adjustors can speak with you directly and possibly take down statements without your having counsel present â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an unwise action for any recipient to do. Having a defective hip implant in your body clearly demands having your own lawyer. You

must be very cautious with dealing with the manufacturer or its representative without proper legal representation. If you have a DePuy ASR TM product, please call us immediately, as there are time limits for filing a claim. You might already have problems with the implant about which you are unaware, so please contact us â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and certainly do not forfeit your legal rights without talking to us.

The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.
