Arrests in gas station robbery Two Discovery Bay residents have been arrested in connection with an armed robbery of the Safeway gas station on Jan. 8, which police say might have been an inside job. According to Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Jimmy Lee, Dorian Swigart, 35, conspired to commit the crime with Christopher Nelson, 21, who worked at the gas station and was the “victim” of the robbery. Swigart was a former employee of the Safeway gas station Swigart was arrested on suspicion of robbery, burglary, conspiracy, possession of a controlled substance and transportation of a

controlled substance. She is being held at the county jail in Martinez on $70,000 bail. Nelson was arrested on suspicion of burglary, conspiracy and embezzlement. He is being held in lieu of $80,000 bail. According to Sheriff’s detectives, on Jan. 8 at about 9:55 p.m., Swigart entered the gas station at the Sandy Cove Shopping Center on Highway 4 and ordered Nelson to empty the cash register. Swigart fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of cash. The pair was arrested on Jan. 11. Anyone with additional information in the case can contact the Sheriff’s Office at 925-646-2441.

Living the dream in Barbieland by Samie Hartley Staff Writer

Oakley resident Madison Bednar is a girl with many goals. Her aspirations include opening a café, becoming an actress and serving as president of the United States. It’s a resumé that only a multitasker like Barbie could handle, but Madison is up for the challenge. She already owns a Madison Barbie. The 10-year-old was selected as the grand prize winner of Mattel’s Doll For A Day contest. As part of her prize, Madison and her family were treated last summer to a VIP tour of Barbie headquarters in Los Angeles, where she worked with Senior Barbie Designer Olivia Ko to design an official Barbie of her likeness. “It was the coolest thing ever,” Madison beamed. “It was the best summer in the whole wide world.” After patiently waiting for four months, Madison’s doll arrived in the mail just before Thanksgiving. The doll is packaged in a special case, so Madison doesn’t bring her out to play much. But that’s OK, since Mattel sent her back home with 27 Barbies and accessories, including Video Girl Barbie, a doll with a small video camera imbedded in its torso. Madison has been collecting Barbies since she was 2 and her love for the doll has spread throughout her room, which is painted in princess pink. In her spare time, she likes to play games on Barbie.com and watch Barbie movies. She’s managed to resist tempta-

tion and keep some of her new Barbies in the packaging, but most of the new Barbies have taken up residence in the new dream house set up next to her bed. The dolls are a fun reminder of the magical day Madison, her parents and younger brother Travis spent in July. When the Bednar family arrived at Barbie headquarters, Madison was immediately greeted by Barbie herself, who escorted the family around the Barbie factory, where the family learned how a Barbie doll is made from start to finish. “It was a one-of-a-kind experience,” said Kelley, Madison’s mom. “The design process is really intriguing. These designers have to stay on top of the latest fashions and figure out what type of clothes and play sets girls are going to want to play with a year in advance.” Following the tour, the family was treated to a special lunch that included all of Madison’s favorite foods, from steak and chicken to mini pizzas and cupcakes. The array of foods was just what she needed for the next step: becoming a living Barbie. Madison was invited to a photo shoot with Barbie, and in true VIP fashion, Madison was doted on by very her own stylist and makeup artist. While Madison posed and hammed it up for the camera, her favorite tunes by Justin Beiber and Selena Gomez helped keep the party rolling. “It was a lot of fun, but modeling is a see Dream page 15

BBQ King Cook-off contestants see red Chili – that quintessential tailgate goodie – is a vital part of the competition at the 11th annual Brentwood PAL BBQ King Cook-off and fundraiser held at the Harvest Park Bowling Center on Sunday, Feb. 5. Along with ribs, tri-tip, chicken and dessert, the cooks will also throw down on chili. So what makes a good bowl of red? Well, that depends on whom you ask. All chili cooks have a secret or two that sets their recipe apart from the rest. Some swear by fresh peppers while others use only powders. Some don’t include beans while others don’t consider it chili without them. The meats used can range from chiligrind beef to sausage to turkey to tri-tip to … elk. So where do you start? Even competition chili organizations such as the International Chili Society (ICS) and the Chili Appreciation Society International (CASI) differ on what they expect a winning bowl to include. Chiliheads who compete in the ICS cook-offs use cubed tri-tip and bold, spicy flavors to produce a beanless chili. For Texas-style chili (such as CASI), chiligrind beef and lots of quality spices are used to cook up a winning batch. In these competitions, the judges might take only one or two bites, so the flavor should be intense and memorable. These hot chilis lend themselves more to competition tasting, not tailgating. Peoples’ Choice chili (PC) varies with each cook. Recipes are unique and custom to what cooks enjoy – perhaps a regional style or something they remember from their youth. In general, the PC chili should be flavorful and appeal to a broad range of tastes.

Press file photo

In addition to the traditional tri-tip, the 11th annual BBQ King Cook-off on Super Bowl Sunday will feature a chili competition. Chunks of meat, mild and spicy peppers, beans, tomatoes and some beer are all popular ingredients in PC chili, accompanied by hot sauce and garnish such as cheese, plus corn bread on the side – and not too mild or hot. When folks return for seconds, you know you’ve done your job as a chilihead. The challenge for Super Bowl Sunday will be to produce a flavorful chili that appeals to all the judges. So whether you’re contestant, a judge or coming out to sample the food, better start getting ready to taste the best bowls of red in the county. For more information about entering the competition, call Bill Harris at 925513-0595 or Jim Wangeman at 925-3825010. – Contributed by Gina D’Arcangelo, Big Shot BBQ, Discovery Bay

RENT HISTORY TO CREDIT REPORT This is a follow-up to an article I wrote several years ago. I had heard that the major credit reporting agencies were looking into adding your rental payment history to your credit report. Looks like they finally got around to doing it! Last year, Experian, one of the big 3 credit reporting companies, added positive rental payment history to millions of credit files. This year they will also include any negative information they have as far as late payments, evictions, etc. Some of the other credit reporting companies have announced that they are close to doing the same. This is good news for those people that lost their home recently and are now renting. Many of them have really taken a different approach to their finances the last few years by paying cash, not having credit cards, etc. While those are admirable financial decisions, they don’t help re-build your credit score. The bad news is that the credit reporting companies only have access to payment

history for only the largest, most tech-savvy property management firms and apartment complexes. This means if you are renting a single-family home owned by an investor that may have 1, 2 or 3 properties, this news most likely won’t apply to you. But be sure to ask your landlord or property management company if they will be reporting to the credit reporting companies. If not, you can still record your rent payment history yourself, or ask your landlord to run a printout of your on-time payment to include with any future application for credit, or to rent another home. And maybe someday the credit reporting companies will figure out a way to register rent paid to smaller landlords and property management companies.

APD scores K-9 grant Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback Ben Roethlisberger recently announced that the Antioch Police Department will receive a grant for its K-9 department from the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation at the Giving Back Fund. The department will purchase a dual-purpose canine, trained in patrol procedures and narcotics detection, so that an 11-year-old veteran canine can retire. During the 2011-12 NFL season, the foundation distributed grants to K-9 units of police and fire departments in the cities and surrounding communities of the Steelers’ regularseason away games. This marks the fifth season that the foundation has distributed grants in support of police and fire department K-9 units throughout the United States, with a particular emphasis on support for service dogs in Pittsburgh, Pa.

“We are truly honored to have been selected by the foundation as a grant recipient, and are excited about the long-term benefits this grant will allow our canine unit, the Antioch Police Department and the City of Antioch to enjoy for years to come,” said Police Chief Allan Cantando. “These grant funds will be used to purchase a new dual-purpose canine to ensure the continued success of the unit.” “We’re very fortunate to be in the position that we are able to help these K-9 units,” said Roethlisberger. “The work that is performed by the dogs and their handlers, as well as the bond that is formed, is incredible. We’re just thrilled to do our small part.” For more information about the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation or The Giving Back Fund, visit www. bigben7.com or www.givingback. org.

Firefighter from page 4 derson said West, who has been with the district since 2002, is a true professional and well liked throughout the district: “Firefighters are a family, and when a member of your family is ill, you want to do whatever you can to offer support. We spend a third of our life on the job, working 24 shifts; the firehouse is definitely your second family, so something like this hits you hard. “The guys are always checking in with him trying to keep his spirits up. They go over to visit and call him. He’s a great person and a great employee. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.” Bob Kenny, a member of the

ECCFPD board of directors who is known for his big, snowy-white Santa-style beard, is also keeping West in this thoughts. Kenny is planning a fundraiser, featuring a raffle, to benefit West’s family. The winner of the raffle will get to decide when, where and who will shave Kenny’s beard. “It’s a small gesture but a fun way to create awareness and support for one of our local firefighters,” Kenny said. For more information about the raffle, call Kenny at 925-684-9283. Those interested in hosting a fundraiser to support the West family, or making a donation, may call Helmick at 925-584-8468.

OBITUARY William Kent Little Discovery Bay resident William Kent Little passed away on Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2012 after a brief illness, which took his life unexpectedly at the age of 71. Respected and loved by all, Bill will always be remembered for his love of family and dear friends, and zest for life itself. Avid boater, traveler and a vibrant man with as many friends and interests as any person could have, Bill was hard working, dependable and loyal. His strong character and work ethic enabled him to accomplish more in one lifetime than most. Born in Escanaba, Kent County, Mich. to parents Dr. William W. Little and Ruth DeYoung Little, Bill graduated from Walla Walla High School in Washington State in 1959. In 1964 he earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Washington State University, where he majored in police science and administration. Bill held many responsible positions in business, and for the past 40 years was the consummate entrepreneur. He succeeded in many business enterprises but was best known for property investments and management since the 1990s. He was an early proponent of solar energy and founded the first residential solar energy system enterprise for the do-ityourself-homeowner in the 1980s. He was a jack-of-all-trades and master of all! Whether boating with his classic 1954 Chris Craft on Lake Tahoe, crossing the Arctic Circle with his Allegro motorhome in Alaska and to the northern extremes of Newfoundland, or cruising across the Atlantic Ocean, he always traveled with his loving wife Ronda

at this side. As a loyal and longtime member of the Allegro Golden Bears Motorhome Club for 13 years, he enjoyed their monthly gatherings all over northern California. His travLITTLE els took him all over the world, most recently on a 21-day cruise around Europe and across the Atlantic to the Caribbean with Ronda and dear friends Peggy and Mike Piedade and Sharon and Lee Burrell. He also enjoyed his friendships made through SIRs (Sons in Retirement) Chapter 161 and most recently, the Discovery Bay Yacht Club. Bill is survived by his wife of 37½ years, Ronda Riley Little; loving daughter, Kimberly Darretta (Michael); their children, Joshua and Anastasia; dear son, William F. Little (Maria); and grandchildren, Sabrina, Victoria, Trisha and Joshua. Bill is also survived by his brother, Rollie (Carolyn) Little of Phoenix, Ariz.; and sister, Redyl (Robert) Hulser of Walla Walla, Wash. The celebration of his life will be held Feb. 4 at Tracy Community Church. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made in the name of William Little to Antique and Classic Boat Society.

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage Matters Evolution With the United States run at the 2014 FIFA World Cup just getting ramped up, we should reflect on just how far our “young” squad has come: roughly 40 journalists are following the United States National team throughout their 2014 World Cup campaign. This figure was more than double that of the 2002 World Cup and, according to U.S. Soccer spokesman Michael Kammarman, included journalists from Italy and the Czech Republic. I compare 2002 to 2012 (and the run towards 2014) to see just to see how things evolve, progress, and become better… In 2002, many loan officers – not all, but way too many – acted more like “order takers” than “lending leaders.” If someone wanted a house, and they had a pulse, they could afford a house. “Stated” loans were “the future” and allowed everyone a piece of the American dream. At that time preapproval was no more than a credit score and a “stated” income…pre-qualification did not even exist. Fast forward to 2012, and, just as the United States national soccer team is being taken a bit more serious in their 2014 bid for the Cup, the lending industry is being taken much more seriously and its processes have evolved. The first step to homeownership is now pre-qualification; a one page form that includes an authorization to run credit and a “guestimated” income supplied by potential buyer without any documents

to back it up. This form, and the information it supplies, will allow the lender to determine whether or not it is worth the potential buyer’s time to put together the documents needed for a real pre-approval. This real pre-approval is the most important document one can receive before shopping homes, and is a much more thorough process in 2012. Pre-approval, in its entirety, is now a complete loan application package which could appropriately be submitted to underwriting at anytime. It includes a completed four page loan application, two months worth of bank statements, the last two years of federal tax returns (and any/all accompanying schedules), and a month worth of pay-check stubs. It is serious business, and buyers who are looking to be taken seriously NEED to go through this process. Lender’s pre-approval letters should now be accompanied by proof of the funds needed to close, as well as an automated underwriting system (AUS) approval. If your lender is not supplying your Realtor with this information, simply put, they have not evolved with the times, and, they are not working for you to protect your best interests.

great credit risk. Therefore, in a Chapter 7, the debtor has the possibility of improving the score by paying reported debts such as a car loan timely starting the month of the bankruptcy. On the other hand in a Chapter 13, the score will be held down longer by the fact the debtor is in bankruptcy for 3-5 years although an offsetting factor will be if the borrower is paying on a home loan which will improve the score. The good news is that your credit score has a short memory because creditors need YOU. This economy does not work unless people borrow money. Credit scores rebound back quickly when the problems are corrected or eliminated and the borrower is able to demonstrate sound credit behavior. Under California law, a delinquency and derogatory related items are required to be purged after 7 years. As the delinquency and derogatory information ages on the credit report, less points are lost and the score rises. And always remember the golden rules of credit: 1) Never use more than 50% of available credit on any account, 2) Make payments on time and 3) Only apply for credit when needed. More is not better. Cash is King. If you are considering a short sale, foreclosure or bankruptcy, I urge you to seek legal counsel about the options available to you prior to taking any action. There are personal liability and tax consequences of any action you take. I see people every day for a FREE 30 minute consultation in Walnut Creek, Antioch and Brentwood.

As the economy in California has come crashing down, many people for the first time in their life are unable to pay their debts as they come due and owing. If you are having trouble paying your bills, here is what you should know about your credit. Credit is just another product which you buy. You buy it by having debt that you service and by continuing to pursue other credit. Your credit score is driven by 5 factors in approximately the following proportions: 1) payment history (35%), 2) outstanding debt (30%), 3) credit history length (15%), 4) pursuit of new credit (10%) and 5) credit mix (10%). The long and short is that you have to have credit to get credit, you have to use credit to have credit and you have to have the right mix of credit i.e. car plus credit card or home plus credit card. Contrary to popular belief, your income, employment history and marital status are not factors in your credit score. If you are considering a short sale/foreclosure or bankruptcy, here is what you should know about how it will affect your credit in the current financial market. 1. Loan Modifications- if you do not have any missed payments at the time of the loan modification, the downward impact on your credit will likely not be noticeable. If you obtain a loan modification with missed payments, the downward impact will most likely be between 100-150 points with a return to the original score in 12-24 months. 2. Short Sale/Foreclosure- a short sale will have less affect on your credit score than a foreclosure. In the current financial climate, a short sale will only cause a 100-150 point loss in most cases whereas a foreclosure can reduce a credit score by 200-250. In most cases, a person is able to purchase another home in within 2 years after a short sale and 4 years after a foreclosure assuming other qualifying criteria are met. 3. Bankruptcy- a bankruptcy is going to have the greatest impact with loss of between 200-250 points depending on the credit score prior to filing. However, since a person filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy cannot file another bankruptcy for 8 years, the borrower who has just filed bankruptcy is a

Grand Jury got it wrong Editor: I am extremely disappointed in the report put out by this Grand Jury. I feel they did not do due diligence. Did they interview our two East County supervisors, or the past acting fire chief? I think not. If they had, they would not have made the recommendations they suggested. The background is that this fire district investigated the idea of switching to Cal Fire during a year of open public meetings. The outcome was very clear that the figures did not justify switching from local control to a state agency. The report talks about the district as being adequate, by whose standards? The only reason we have not had a loss of life with a fire is because of the outstanding job our firefighters have done with less than adequate numbers and equipment. The jury must know or should know that the majority of calls are medical. As one of the older population I would love to see on the engine the third firefighter, who would have emergency medical training. We are a long way to a hospital. Prop 13 played a huge role in the lack of funds for our fire district. I do not blame Prop 13; the population and firefighting was vastly different. We had mostly volunteer fire stations and the population has exploded in the last 30 years. What was a fair division or monies then is no longer a working budget; however, the laws are such that the money is what it is and cannot be re-divided. The reality without the parcel tax: we will be very inadequate, equipment will need replacing and no one can say our firefighters are paid at fair market value. Go back to the drawing board, Grand Jury. You got it wrong. Olga Jones Bethel Island

family and I have moved to the Brentwood area here in the last year from Texas. I do not know the status of burrowing owls in and around this area, although I do know that overall, this type of owl is on the decline. Breeding pairs are harder to locate. It is early in the nesting season for these birds, but it seems a pair has settled just outside this busy store … as well as a building site. I suppose they have picked this place due to the fence and loose soil brought in for the building company, as it is perfect for their nesting habits. I would hope this reaches everyone to keep an eye out for these little guys. They are one of the smaller owls and tend to be struck by cars. Being outside this store is cause for a little concern, not to mention the building site might cause the breeding of this pair to be compromised. If these two make it through the breeding season here, we can all feel good and know we took a small part in helping the numbers of these little owls grow just a bit bigger. Wendy Roach Brentwood

Humble, grateful hearts Editor: I know there are many families during this difficult financial time who have had the feeling that this hardship will never end. We have a daughter with significant ongoing medical issues whom The Press has been wonderful in helping us get the word out to the community about, and the community has stepped up and been a wonderful support for us during a very hard emotional and financial season in her life. This past year we have now been struggling with the fact that our youngest daughter is having some of the same issues our oldest daughter struggles with. That in itself was enough to rock our world. Then at the end of August, my husband, our only source of income due to the huge amount of medical appointment and hospital stays I am required to manage for our daughters, was in the backyard and while doing some yard work, broke his back. It was literally the “straw that broke his back.” After many years of hard manual labor, his back gave out and after major surgery in September, he is now trying to get back on his feet. The prognosis is unknown at this time. He is walking but with very limited mobility and stamina. This story goes on, but it is not the reason for my letter. I say all this to give you an insight as to why we have been touched so very deeply by the amazing love and support we have received from a Secret Santa. The Thursday before Christmas we received a knock at our front door, and the principal from Brentwood Elementary School was there with literally a truckload of gifts for our family. We had told our three young girls that we were going to have a “homemade Christmas” this year, and we had not purchased any gifts for our girls.

While we deeply believe that the reason for Christmas is to celebrate the birth of our Savior, we do like to celebrate the magic of the joy of gift-giving as well. Since the injury to my husband happened at home, he is not eligible for any worker’s compensation or disability, so we are doing like so many of you and trying to make things stretch to the breaking point. The Secret Santa that blessed our home this year goes beyond the ability of us to say thank you! The gifts were so very thoughtful and exactly what each girl was hoping for – even some things I didn’t know they wanted. They told us, “This is exactly what I was secretly wishing for.” Then as an extra blessing, there were even gifts for my husband, me and even our family dog, Pebbles. We have been blessed beyond our wildest dreams. We wanted to say thank-you to the Secret Santa out there who thought of our family with such care, detail, kindness and incredible generosity. We are looking forward to the day we will be able to pay forward all the kindness that has blessed our home, but for now we are here with humble, grateful hearts and wanted to let our community know that you have blessed us and brought huge joy to our home. Thank you so much! The Stone family, Denny, Debi, Sydney, Sammy and Sierra

Fire employees shouldn’t ask for more Editor: I am responding to Kevin Romick’s request for input as requested in the Jan. 13 edition of The Press. I believe that the Grand Jury report is spot-on as it relates to our fire protection services and required funding that they are asking for from we the people; i.e., the fire protection services’ employer. We the people need to realize that we are their employers. This being said, the following questions need to be asked of our employees: 1. As Kevin’s employer, issue should be taken with his comments in the Jan. 6 Press, and I quote: “These numbers weren’t just pulled out of the sky.” The fact is: two different consulting companies have informed the board at the cost of tens of thousands of dollars to us the employer that anything over $200 per parcel will not pass muster with the employers of the fire district. This is where the number comes from, and is a matter of public record. If more money is what you want, let’s start being honest about what is really needed, as the Grand Jury has come forward and done. 2. Information has been given to our employees (the fire district) as it relates to alternative funding for “the district” that it refuses to explore. There are companies that specialize in privatization of fire districts. There was USDA money available to help subsidize “the district” last year. Both options fell on deaf ears last

year. Our employees remained focused on removing more funding from we the employer instead of alternatives that would have saved the employer money. 3. Our employees continue to spend money recklessly. How much did those brand-new F350 pickups cost us the employer? $60-70-80,000, fully equipped with lights, radios and labeling. Our employees then complain we do not have money to fix equipment. The cost savings between building the new Oakley fire station and not building it has never been explained. Why would you spend money in Oakley and complain that the Bethel Island station is a disaster? 4. You tell your employer that you need more money but do not want to fully divulge what the funds are for. The case in point: when asked about salary and benefits for rank and file, the comment is: we cannot tell you because we are in negotiations. Are you serious? You want money but you do not want to tell your employer how it is to be spent, even in general terms. This is not a good business model. By the way, if you are exceeding 50 percent of your operational budget in labor and benefits, you are in trouble. The issue is not to increase costs but to cut them and live within your means. 5. There are other communities in the Bay Area that have adjusted to current economic circumstance and not burden their employers further. The City of Pacifica has decided to reduce the crews of its vehicles from three to two. They have also combined services with Daly City. Why have our employees, “the district,” not looked into what is working for them? 6. To not have a sunset clause on the increase is insulting. At some point in the future, we all know the market will return in this area. Not only will our employees have the benefit of the parcel tax but will also have the increased revenue once property taxes regain where they once were. Is it fair for our employees to remove every dollar they can from their employer? Jonathan Silver Discovery Bay

Good people Editor: I lost my wallet the other night while my son was at baseball practice at Magnolia Park in Oakley. To my surprise, a gentlemen came to our house in Brentwood the next day to return it. He said he was walking his dog that morning and there it was.

Deconstruction endorsed Editor: Your article about citizens’ suggestions for the improvement of Brentwood was very interesting. I particularly enjoyed Joey Tipton’s suggestion that the palm trees and the monstrosity be bull-dozed. That way we could have our park again. I find it interesting that Joey refers to the thing occupying what used to be our park as a monstrosity. I have heard that title from a lot of people. Could we all be thinking the same thing? I wonder what would have happened if we would have been allowed to vote on that project. Carole Main Brentwood

Madison’s next goal is to host a lemonade stand this summer so that she can buy extra outfits for her new dolls. “What I love about playing with Barbies is that I get to express my imagination,” she said. “I like to pretend that I’m Barbie and that I get to be an actress or a singer. She gets to do all these cool things and I want to do that, too.” While Madison isn’t sure what she wants to do when she gets a “big job” like Barbie, she knows she wants to make time to do charity work, just like the real Barbie she met in Los Angeles. “Barbie makes time to visit sick kids in the hospital and cheer them up,” Madison said. “That’s what I want to do.” Add it to the list.

Panthers look to send off coach on high note by Michael Dixon Correspondent

Julio Borge has experienced a great deal of success in his nine years as Antioch High’s boys soccer coach. Despite playing on a field that’s usually half mud during the season, he led the Panthers to consecutive league championships in 2009 and ’10. But Borge has decided to move on to other responsibilities and that the 2012 season will be his last as Antioch’s head coach. While Borge’s team lacks the talent of some of the past squads, the group of nine seniors, five juniors and seven sophomores is possibly the most memorable he’s coached. “They play together more as a team,” Borge said. “On the other teams in the past, there’s been one or two stars; especially on the championship teams. Here, there’s a lot of team unity, chemistry – there’s no division.” The Panthers are off to an upand-down start in Bay Valley Athletic League play. They opened with a 1-0 victory against Freedom but fell 3-2 to

Wolverines survive Pats charge in league opener by Michael Dixon Correspondent

ew England Patriots defensive back Sterling Moore, above, and New York Giants defensive end Dave Tollefson still have a chance to play in Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis. Moore graduated from Deer Valley High in 2007; Tollefson is a 2000 Los Medanos College alumnus. Moore and the Patriots face the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday at noon on CBS. Tollefson and the Giants come to San Francisco to play the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. on FOX.

Those who caught only the second half of Deer Valley’s Bay Valley Athletic League girls basketball opener at Heritage might not believe what happened in the first half. The Wolverines squandered a massive lead in the final half, but held on to win 50-44. Deer Valley scored 17 points in each of the first two quarters, while the Patriots shooters were ice cold. The halftime score was 34-13 and the final 16 minutes seemed like a mere victory lap – until Heritage heated up. The Patriots outscored the Wolverines 17-4 in the third quarter, but a 12-point Deer Valley fourth quarter was enough to keep Heritage at bay. “Happy to win the game,” Wolverines head coach Mark Hurtado said. “But with that lead we had in the first half … we’ve got some stuff we need to work on. We stopped being aggressive. We started taking outside shots, which is not our thing, and we stopped attacking the basket.” Hurtado also accurately noted that the Patriots scored with greater frequency. Their output in the third quarter out-

shone their entire first half – as did their fourth-quarter output. Junior guard Erin Asher heated up, scoring 14 of her game-high 17 points in the second half, including three of her four three-pointers. Junior forward Miranda Nelson was second on the Patriots in scoring, recording all 10 of her points in the second half, and eight in the final quarter. Senior forward Jenifer Keys led the Wolverines with 16 points – 13 of which came in the first half. Junior guard Sabrea Coleman was second on the team with 12. Six of her points came in the final quarter, which provided the difference in the game. “It was a good team effort,” Keys said. “In the first half on offense, we passed the ball really well. On defense we just played as a team. We can work on keeping the pressure up, and how to enlarge our lead in the second half, instead of struggling.” The win moves Deer Valley to 10-5 overall (1-0 in BVAL play). The Wolverines will host Antioch in their next league game, slated for Friday. “We knew this was going to a tough see Survive page 22

Freedom starts hot After a preseason full of missed opportunities, the Freedom High girls soccer team has started the Bay Valley Athletic League season 2-0 for the first time in years. Overall, the Falcons started 4-5-1. “We have been close in years past but haven’t been able to put it all together,” said head coach Paco Gonzalez. “We have seven seniors on the squad who meet regularly and are leading the way in what we hope will be a BVAL championship and more. … We’re looking forward to gaining momentum in the weeks to come. There’s no one player that we rely on. It truly is a team effort.” In a 1-0 victory over Heritage,

Deer Valley, Heritage will host its crosstown rival – Liberty – on Friday. The night wasn’t a total loss for the Patriots, whose junior varsity team downed the Wolverines 47-40. Heritage’s Sydney Berry led all scorers with 13, while Taya Carter and Brandi Williams paced the Deer Valley attack with 10.

Deer Valley in a game they trailed 2-0, tied 2-2, and loss on a late goal. No matter where they finish in the league standings, Borge’s players have impressed their coach with their academic diligence and their camaraderie. “I have very good students,” he said. “That’s one area where this team stands out. I have an average of two to three guys that I lose a quarter because of grades. This year I lost only one. They support each other.” That sentiment is echoed by Borge’s players. First-year varsity sophomore midfielder Enrique Sandoval, for in-

Mackenzie Tovani scored the gamewinning goal – a followup to Tovani’s two goals in the previous game against Antioch. That contest also featured two goals from Selena Gonzalez, one apiece from Gianna DiMercurio and Bianca Corona, and assists from Anna Carter, Catherine Carter, Vanessa Cortez and Madison Kimball. The Falcon defense held firm against Heritage. Anchoring the middle are rock-solid Cathy Cook and Anna Carter. Gonzalez and Haley Vredenburgh run the outsides with remarkable energy. And freshman goalie Tess Harrington has been a pleasant surprise, gaining confidence with every game. – Contributed by Lisa Carter stance, said his team displays remarkable unity: “Everyone’s more connected with each other; it’s just a warm feeling. Everyone’s known each other for a long time. It’s not just here at school. We’ve all known each other for a while and played (together) on other teams.” Borge is quick to emphasize that his team isn’t playing for him. But senior defender Danny Guzman isn’t so sure. That this is his coach’s last season, as well as his own, is a motivating factor. “We’re trying to show him that in his last year,” Guzman said, “we’re trying to do it all.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Comedy night at Cap’s Comedian Manny Maldonado headlines a night of comedy at Cap’s Oak Street Bar and Grill in Brentwood on Saturday Jan. 21 at 9 p.m. Maldonado’s journey to comedy wasn’t planned – his goal was to play professional football. The problem with that plan: he was too short. After high school, he attended junior college to pursue another dream: sports broadcasting. While in college, he participated in speech debate and was told his speeches were funny and entertaining. After a few semesters, he dropped out of college to take a shot at standup comedy. Ten years later, the Modesto-born Maldonado is recognized as one of the hottest rising Latino comics in the country. He has worked overseas entertaining the troops in Korea and Japan, and performed coast to coast in some of the nation’s top comedy clubs, colleges and theaters. He has worked with such nationally known comedians as Dave Chappelle, Dave Attell and George Lopez. Maldonado’s television credits include “BET’s Comicview,” “Que Locos!,” “Latino Laugh Festival” and “Comics Unleashed.” In 2007-08, he was selected to perform on the Crown Royal Latin Kings

As IRS systematically analyzes the data from past years, the underreporting of income remains the biggest contributing factor to the “tax gap” – the difference between how much IRS projects it should be collecting and how much is actually collected. While many people like the idea of shoring up our nation’s finances and chipping away at the national debt by collecting overdue taxes, it would be a challenge to find anyone who wants to be audited. Any number of small mistakes can result in that fateful communication from IRS: a faulty digit in your Social Security number, a math error, entering withholding or estimated tax payments on the wrong line (surprisingly common) can all attract the attention of our friends at IRS. Statistically, the more money you make, the more likely it is that you’ll be audited. If you ever do get audited, you’ll be in good shape if you have documents that provide proof of all your income, expenses, deductions and credits. This is especially true for the deductions involving charitable contributions (remember to get receipts and appraisals for any charitable contributions), home offices, meals and entertainment and dependents. These are among the most common deductions examined by IRS. Home Offices. Photos of your home office and a schematic of the office floor plan will support your home office deductions. Be prepared to show invoices and monthly bills for any kind of office equipment, utilities and technology used in your home office. Note that if you are renting business space, you probably don’t qualify to deduct a home office. If for some reason, however, you genuinely need both a rented office and a home office, include a disclosure statement explaining the situation to IRS. If you are self-employed, another factor that statistically

makes you more likely to be audited is filing a Schedule C. Selfemployed taxpayers filing Schedule C run a ten times greater risk of being audited than those who have incorporated. And there’s this bonus: if you choose to incorporate, you’ll be eligible to claim more deductions than you would if you were an unincorporated business owner filing Schedule C. Meals and Entertainment. For these deductions, good documentation can save you from a world of hurt if you wind up in an audit. Holding onto receipts with dates, times, amounts spent, names of your companions and notes on what kind of business was transacted will back up your claim that these items were deductible. Disputed Dependents. The often disputed dependent claim is another area where good documentation can save the day. If you and an ex-spouse are both claiming your children as dependents, you should be able to substantiate your assertion with a separation or divorce agreement that outlines who is able to claim which children as dependents, where the children will live and when, and who pays for what parts of the children’s support. Fear of an audit should not keep you from taking advantage of legitimate tax benefits. To make sure you don’t overlook allowable credits and deductions, start keeping better records, and put an enrolled agent or other licensed tax professional on your business team. If you do wind up being audited, you’ll have an experienced tax professional in your corner, able to speak directly to IRS on your behalf. Jet Tax employs enrolled agents (“EAs”), tax specialists licensed by the US Department of the Treasury. We have offices in Antioch, CA and Bozeman, MT.

Internet café wants Rivertown location by Justin Lafferty Staff Writer The owner of an Antioch Internet café is fighting to operate her business in Rivertown, but city officials believe the business is a gaming facility and not eligible to make the move due to its proximity to a school. Antioch resident Patricia Simmons, owner of T’s Internet Café, has met resistance from the city in her attempt to move her business from A Street to Second Street, a few blocks away from Prospects High School. In addition to selling Internet time on the café’s 50 computers, the business also runs sweepstakes for free Internet time and cash prizes as a way to draw in more customers and make the environment more fun. While Simmons compares the sweepstakes to games of chance facilitated by fast food restaurants, the city declared earlier this month that the café is classified as a gaming facility. And according to a city ordinance, gaming facilities cannot operate within 1,000 feet of a school. “(The ordinance) is defined broadly enough that it applies to playing electronic games on a computer,” Antioch Community Development Director Tina Wehrmeister said. “We have to uphold the code, and this is the requirement.” Residents also complained to the city about some of the people who hung out at the café’s previous locations, loitering and smoking in front of neighboring businesses. “Part of the reason why the attention has been brought to her business, is because of the calls for service that have increased and complaints that we’ve received from other shoppers or other tenants,” said Wehrmeister.

Patricia Simmons, owner of T’s Internet Café, stands outside the Rivertown building where she hopes to operate her business. Because the café has been deemed a gaming institution emphasizing its sweepstakes and cash prizes, the city refused to grant Simmons a use permit for the Second and G streets location, a decision she is appealing. She also feels the decision is not about the sweepstakes, but how the city perceives her café’s clientele and those who loiter around the business. Her open-door policy and eagerness to help are tenets on which Simmons prides herself. “I have people from all walks of life come into my

eBART from page 1 According to the BART environmental impact report issued in 2008, a 10-mile stretch of BART tracks would cost $1.173 billion compared to $486 million for eBART. Smith said the current 10-mile project, linking the Pittsburg/Bay Point station to Hillcrest, is funded at $463 million. According to Smith, East County is still a possible destination for traditional BART. “We’d be able to bring commute relief much faster than if we had to implement classic BART,” Smith said. “Once people see the trains, they’re going to be crazy about them.” While residents and local politicians have expressed reservations about eBART (as opposed to traditional BART) running through East County, transportation officials believe that when the Hillcrest eBART station opens in roughly four years, riders will be thrilled. Detractors assert that East County deserves full, classic BART, not the diesel-powered eBART, in which riders would need to transfer to a traditional train at the Pittsburg/Bay Point station. For decades, far East County residents have been hoping that a portion of their taxes would be devoted to full BART service of their own. “I believe the station locations beyond Hillcrest are very important for East and far East County residents,” said Contra Costa County District III Supervisor Mary Piepho. “These residents have been paying BART taxes for decades and have no visible investment from them. … The closer we can get stations to the residents of far East County, the more successful this

business,” she said. “There are people that are on drugs, and we don’t judge them and we help them in many different ways. I’m being ridiculed for being the one that’s not judging them.” After operating on A and 20th streets for roughly six months, Simmons closed down that location after problems with loiterers who were there before she opened the café. Prior to that, the café was located in a shopping center at the corner of A and 18th streets. Simmons also owns Cot on the Web,

project will be.” Antioch City Councilman Brian Kalinowski said he’s hesitant about a possible station on Lone Tree Way – only four miles from the stop at Hillcrest Avenue and roughly one mile from Laurel Road’s potential stop. Kalinowski added that Antioch has job- and revenuegenerating plans for the vacant land near the Slatten Ranch shopping center that could be impacted by commuters who use retailers’ parking lots. “It doesn’t make sense to reduplicate that so close,” Kalinowski said. “We don’t want to jeopardize the future of sales tax in that area. It’s just not the vision we have.” Brentwood Mayor Bob Taylor raised concerns at the meeting, but still feels that the current plan represents a step in the right direction. “The whole idea is to get the masses moving, to get them off the road,” Taylor said. “I think we’re going to have to be satisfied with what we’re going to receive. If eBART is going to work and the whole process is to move populations of people off the road for a better quality of life, then so be it.” The newest eBART proposal is preliminary, Smith noted. The transit organization has not put forth any money for an environmental impact review yet, as it wants to hear from members of the public before moving forward. Tentative dates for eBART presentations at city council meetings are Feb. 14 in Oakley, Feb. 21 in Pittsburg, Feb. 28 in Brentwood, and March 13 in Antioch. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

an Internet café on Buchanan Road. She sought a more business-friendly location in her attempt to move to the downtown area. While the ordinance targets mainly arcades, Wehrmeister said the sweepstakes, which are played on the computer, fall into this category. She added that the city is happy to work with Simmons should she choose to move her business to a location farther from a school. In letter dated Jan. 5, Wehrmeister also informed Simmons that city employees noticed workers putting up partitions inside the building taller than 6 feet – a development that requires a building permit. Simmons said that she thoroughly educated herself in the city’s building and use permit codes prior to paying for the property, and she believes the work is in accordance with the city code. Angered by the city’s position, several employees of T’s Internet Café spoke or filled out a comment card at the recent Antioch City Council meeting, pleading with council members that the business is legitimate and serves as a job-searching hub for those without Internet access or a computer. Kevin Lum, a business owner near Cot on the Web, also testified to the value of the café, calling it an “asset to the community.” “The Internet café is a great place for individuals, no matter what stem of life they are – whether they are rock bottom broke and homeless to those that are wealthy,” employee Charles Allen said. “It gives them a place to hang out. It gives them a place to decompress.” The council will review the matter at a later time, possibly in February. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.
