MESA students get computer power As part of a statewide program to bridge the digital divide, 70 Los Medanos College students in the Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA) program received laptops earlier this month to help them succeed in their studies. “Many of our students don’t have a computer at home,” said Barbara Cella, director of marketing and media design. “This program will be life-changing for them.” The MESA program provides academic support for thousands of educationally and/or economically disadvantaged

students so they can excel in math and science, transfer to four-year institutions as majors in math-based fields and graduate with baccalaureate degrees in science, engineering, computer science and other mathbased fields. The laptops were purchased through California Connects, which is funded by a $10.9 million Broadband Technology Opportunities Program grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration.
Income tax returns are due next month. I wanted to cover two items that are highly misunderstood. Both of these may surprise you, and depending on your situation, either in a really good way, or a really bad way! The first is one is in regards to the 1099 issue on forgiven debt, what’s known as “phantom income.” If you have had forgiven debt due to a foreclosure, short sale, loan mod, etc. you should receive a 1099 from the lender. There are several important exemptions. One of the biggest is that purchase-money debt is exempt, which means money used to buy, build or substantially improve a principal residence (so a loan for investment property, or taking cash out may be taxable). The second exemption is if you are insolvent, which means your debts exceed your assets. [See IRS pub. 4681.] The second one has to do with the homebuyer tax credits. Not all homebuyer tax credits are the same. First, there was the federal tax credit that came out in 2008. Then in 20092010 there was another federal tax credit, but it was significantly different from the prior year’s credit. Then California had a homebuyer

tax credit in 2010. I don’t have space to get into all the details of how all these tax credits are different. I can only focus on the federal 2008 credit, because that is the one that you have to start paying back. That’s right, starting with your 2010 return (the one that’s due next month), you need to start paying back the credit over a 15-year period. The good news is that it is an interest-free loan, so you simply take the amount of your credit and divide by 15. The bad news is that if you sell your home prior to 15 years, the remainder of your loan will be due that tax year. Now, if you got one of the other credits in 2009 or 2010, you don’t have to pay it back UNLESS you sell your home within 3 years for Federal credit and 2 years for California credit.

Oakley women pioneers remembered by Samie Hartley
“ Women of the City of Oakley were particularly
Staff Writer
important in the establishment of early charitable, philanthropic and cultural institutions in the city.
Traditionally, the mayor reads proclamations at Oakley City Council meetings, but Mayor Jim Frazier returned the duty to three-time Mayor Pat Anderson for the reading of the Women’s History Month proclamation. While March is National Women’s History Month, Oakley is paying tribute to local women who have made the young city what it is today. Although Oakley was incorporated as a city in 1999, it was actually founded in 1897 and offers a rich history that includes
”
City Councilwoman Pat Anderson contributions from both men and women. “Women of the City of Oakley were particularly important in the establishment of early charitable, philanthropic and cultural institutions in the city,” Anderson said as she read the proclamation at last week’s meeting, which took place on March 8, International Women’s Day. “Women of the city of Oakley have been leaders not only in securing their own rights of suffrage and equal opportunity, but also in the abolitionist movement, the emancipation movement, the industrial labor movement, the civil rights movement and other movements, especially the peace movement, which create a more fair and just society for all.” National Women’s History Month originated in Northern California back in 1978, when the Sonoma Valley Unified School District decided to host a weeklong celebration of women’s contributions to history. The idea spread and in 1980, President Jimmy Carter issued a proclamation declaring National Women’s History Week the week of March 8, and the celebration was extended to a full month in 1986.
Women such as Rosa Parks, Susan B. Anthony, Abigail Adams and Oprah Winfrey are often acknowledged in a long list of women who affected history, but local pioneers such as Mary O’Hara and Sarah Sellers are worthy of recognition as well. Anderson invited Oakley residents Liberty Union High School District Trustee Joanne Byer and Oakley Elementary teacher Cindy Tumin to share stories about Oakley’s historic female figures at last week’s meeting. Byer is a modern Oakley pioneer. As a high school district trustee, she played an instrumental role in bringing a high school to Oakley, and after more than 30 years as a representative, she told the meeting attendants that this will be her last term, ending in December of 2012. Byer’s dedication to Oakley is a family trait. Her mother, Louise Allington, played a key role in bringing a pay phone and postal drop boxes to Oakley, both of which were deemed extraordinary conveniences for their time. Her mother was also responsible for the creation of Norcross Road, which became a more direct route to Oakley Elementary that
is still used today. Byer also noted that women in Oakley who were members of the local chapter of the Soroptimist club played an important role in Oakley and far East County’s history by hosting a fashion show fundraiser that raised enough money to purchase the Jaws of Life for the local fire department – the first of its kind in the area. Tumin agreed: “We have a long history of women being involved in our community and we’re very proud of that.” Tumin acknowledged Sarah Sellers, wife of Samuel Sellers, who is remembered as the first woman in California to serve on a school board, representing Oakley residents on the Iron House School District Board. She is also known as a silkworm farmer – tending as many as 30,000 silk worms at a time – who helped bring the silk industry to California. Mary O’Hara, wife of Oakley pioneer James O’Hara, was the first president of the Ladies Improvement Club, which is now the Oakley Women’s Club. The club was formed in 1913 and helped establish the town’s first public library in 1916 at the corner of Acme and Second streets, in a building currently known as the White House. To learn more about the history of Oakley and far East County, take a trip to the East Contra Costa Historical Museum this summer. The museum’s 2011 season kicks off on Saturday, April 2.

California’s Spiny Lobster
score for the borrower and Fannie Mae cannot lend. The third (and final) note worthy item is that both the amount of lobsters a fishermen has to choose from and the amount of buyers Fannie Mae has to choose from are rapidly declining. Due to this fact the government bodies for both fishermen and Fannie Mae alike are tightening their respective belts for their 2011 seasons. Although I’m not too sure the exact ramifications being put in place on the lobster fishing profession, I can briefly elaborate on the changes Fannie Mae is making. Beginning in April of 2011 pricing (rates) for borrowers without credit scores above 740 will see an increase in their rates for no other reason than risk. After completing their annual reports Fannie feels that to best protect their investors an increase in “risk based pricingâ€? has to take place. The lower the FICO score the higher the risk, which in turn will reflect in a higher interest rate. Don’t be caught in Fannie Mae’s hook-net (the only legal net used to catch California’s spiny lobster)‌if you’re thinking of purchasing a home now, more than ever, is the time to seriously evaluate your credit. If you have any real estate lending related questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to write me at tfreymortgages@yahoo.com or call me directly on my cell phone, (925) 726-1444.
If we were to compare lobster fishing and the fishermen who make their living off of this fish to larger lending entities – Fannie Mae in particular – fishing for their perfect borrower, do you think we’d be able to draw any similarities? As we’re right in the middle of California spiny lobster season what better time than now to find out‌ The first note worthy item is that both lobster fishermen and Fannie Mae have to annually report to their governing agency. For fishermen this is to ensure their lobsters were of the right size, they fished within the areas clearly marked for legal fishing, and so that the governing bodies have a bench mark to help set this year’s prices and next year’s regulations. As Fannie Mae puts it; “These reviews and the resulting price changes ensure that Fannie Mae is positioned to provide a stable source of liquidity to its lender partners.â€? The second note worthy item is that both lobster fishermen and Fannie Mae only have one true gauge in which to judge their catch. For the fishermen, accordingly to 2010 regulations, the smallest California spiny lobster allowed to be kept after catching is the equivalent in body length of 20 centimeters, or 7.9 inches. For Fannie Mae, according to 2010 regulations, the smallest credit score allowed for any potential buyer with 20% is a 620. Anything less than a 20 centimeter lobster for the fishermen has to be thrown back, just as anything less than a 620 FICO

Sue from page 1A annually to ECCRFFA. City officials have pleaded with the transportation committee in the past to give more priority to a bypass for Buchanan Road, which becomes heavily congested during rush hour. “We think TRANSPLAN feels that they are right and Pittsburg is obviously in error in their judgment,” Taylor said. “Pittsburg feels they haven’t been granted their top priority, but then again, we’re all in this together, in unity. We all could come up with our own projects that we feel are more pertinent than the others.” Taylor expects Pittsburg city officials to appeal to the Contra Costa Transportation Authority, feeling that TRANSPLAN hasn’t the power to file a lawsuit against the city. No court dates have been set, and as of Wednesday afternoon, Taylor had not received any correspondence from the CCTA, although he expected more information in the near future. Pittsburg could still return and contribute to ECCRFFA, but now that a lawsuit will be filed, the process could be complex. “We gave Pittsburg the opportunity to come back,” Taylor said. “We would’ve moved their project up.” TRANSPLAN documents show that the widening of Highway 4 – a $705.9 million project – is the committee’s top priority right now. While that does benefit Pittsburg, the first project exclusive to the city is 14th on the list, a widening of California Avenue. That project has a price tag of about $19.8 million. Work on the Pittsburg-Antioch Highway, a $13 million project is currently 12th on the list. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.
Census from page 1A going on in the first five years. But in terms of what the numbers will mean in terms of money coming to Antioch, I’d say it’s not likely. We grew a lot in the first half of the last decade and now, like most municipalities, we have stabilized and need to learn to live within our means. It is what it is.” OAKLEY The population of Contra Costa’s newest city increased nearly 39 percent over the past decade, from 25,619 in 2000 to 35,432 in 2010. Oakley City Manager Bryan Montgomery sees the boom as a positive step. “The growth is significant, but in raw numbers it has been very manageable,” said Montgomery. “The development standards
have increased significantly since the city incorporated and that has led to higher-quality developments, the installation of more and wider roads, more parks and an increased participation in covering the cost of city services.” DISCOVERY BAY The Live-Where-You-Play community did plenty of growing over the past decade as well, up to nearly 14,000 residents, almost double the nearly 9,000 citizens recorded in 2000. The growing numbers, according to CSD President Kevin Graves, serve as a reminder for planning for the future. “The fact that the town has nearly doubled in size over the past 10 years is one of the challenges the (CSD) board will face as we
analyze our own 10-year master plan down the road,” said Graves. “All this (the census numbers) does is reaffirm the need that Discovery Bay has to plan well for its future and make sure all of the basic essentials for our town are met.” The unincorporated East County hamlets of Byron and Knightsen also experienced growth over the past decade. Knightsen took the lead from 861 residents in 2000 to nearly 2,000 in 2010. Byron grew more slowly, increasing from 916 in 2000 to today’s figure of 1,277. But the waterside community of Bethel Island took a dip over the last 10 years, dropping from 2,312 in 2000 to slightly more than 2,100 in 2010. To comment, visit www.thepress.net. •

Cherry’s Tax Facts... By Cherry Comstock
The Prescription for Medical Deductions How do you know whether or not your medical and dental expenses can be deducted from your 2010 taxes? There are many considerations, and then it boils down to a simple formula: compute your adjusted gross income and multiply that by 7.5%. Subtract this amount from your medical expenses, and what’s left is what is deductible. Start this process by figuring out which of this year’s medical and dental expenses will qualify as deductions in Uncle Sam’s eyes. After reducing the expense by the amount paid by insurance, you can claim expenses incurred for diagnosis, cure, treatment and prevention of disease or for purposes affecting the function and structure of the body. Commonly overlooked expenses include: wheel chairs, glasses, dentures, bandages, fertility enhancement, pregnancy test kits, birth control pills, health insurance premiums including Medicare Parts B & D and certain type of long-term care insurance policies, stop smoking programs (if recommended by a doctor) and weight loss programs prescribed by a doctor to treat disease such as obesity or hypertension. Keep in mind that the costs of medical service must be claimed in the year paid, not necessarily the year received. If you are paying with a credit card, IRS considers the medical treatment paid for, regardless of how long it takes you to pay it off.
Before you run up those credit cards, however, the tax advantages should be weighed against the cost of the interest. Here’s the catch: you must have enough other itemizations (i.e., home mortgage interest, real estate taxes, charitable contributions, etc.) to beat the standard deduction. Therefore, you may technically have enough medical expenses, but if you don’t have enough “itemizations” on Schedule A to beat the standard deduction, you won’t benefit by deducting the expenses. The standard deduction for married couples filing a joint return remains unchanged at $11,400 for 2010; for single individuals and married couples filing separate returns, it’s $5,700 for 2010; and for heads of household, the standard deduction increased by $50 for 2010 to $8,400. While (thankfully) medical expenses rarely are large enough to be eligible for deduction, it’s a good idea to keep track of them. Tax laws change constantly, medical expenses vary often, and finally, it’s just a good idea to know your out of pocket medical expense. We are available at Jet Tax to help you with all your tax needs. Should you have questions about this or any other tax matter feel free to contact our office. www.jettax.org, info@www.jettax.org, or call (925) 778-0281.

Into the sunset
Don’t lock out Habitat
Editor: Boldly, fully prepared and experienced, four sailors – two men, two women – set out on their yacht “Quest” toward Africa. The four were not taking the trip for the thrill and adventure of the sail, but were on a mission to deliver Bibles to underprivileged men, women and children. Their mission was to bring love and hope; nothing more, nothing less. On Feb. 18, that quest was cut short. It seems that individuals calling themselves “pirates” (I like to call them “cowards”) were on a mission themselves – that of hatred and violence, with no regard for human life. The pirates seized the yacht, taking the four missionaries hostage. While en route toward their homeland, Somalia, the pirates were approached by a U.S. Navy warship, which allegedly was in the process of negotiating the release of the four. The Navy ship was fired on, shots rang out on the yacht, and the four missionaries as well as two pirates were found shot to death. What happened? We were praying around the world for their safe return. It may be months or years before we know the truth. God only knows. Regardless, I believe though scared to death and pleading for their lives, those missionaries became brave soldiers. Continuing on with their quest to spread the “good news” to their very last breath, the four were not equipped with military prowess and might, but armed with the greatest ammunition of all: love. On Feb. 22, our friends took their last sail into the sunset and into the Son’s arms. In memory of Scott And Jean Adam, Phyllis Mackay and Robert Riggle. We will never forget you!

Editor: While we applaud Gov. Jerry Brown and the legislature for taking action on the budget, the proposal to abolish redevelopment agencies would eliminate affordable housing funding for Habitat for Humanity in the East Bay and across California. We use this key source of support to revitalize blighted communities, help drive the East Bay economy and change lives for hardworking families. These funds, along with local donations and the hands-on work of thousands of volunteers each year, have built nearly 300 affordable homes. In turn, our Habitat homeowners help sustain the economy by paying property taxes and reducing reliance on state and local social services. Habitat East Bay uses this funding to create jobs, employing plumbers, electricians, engineers and architects. Redevelopment funds also allow us to leverage additional non-government funding to support our housing program. Habitat for Humanity offers a hand-up, not a hand-out. Habitat homebuyers purchase their homes at cost and invest 500 hours of sweat equity as their down payment. They receive training on budgeting, money management and home maintenance. Habitat’s model of true affordability and homeowner education has kept our foreclosure rate below 2 percent, far below the national average. We support redevelopment reform that lays the foundation for an efficient system of affordable housing production. There must remain a mechanism for funding that enables the development of affordable housing and helps eliminate the substandard housing conditions and high rents that plague many areas of the East Bay.

Are You In Default on Your Home Mortgage? Advice from Those Who Went Before by Joan Grimes, Esq. One day last week, I asked each person who came into my office if they had any advice for people who are in default on their home mortgage. Here is their advice. 1. Seek Legal Counsel. Don’t wait to find out your options. Almost every person said they would have done things differently if they had understood the law applicable to their situation and the options available to them. 2. Don’t borrow or take money from your 401k, IRA, Savings Account, Children’s Saving Account, Deferred Compensation to cure to the default. The reason this is good advice is that money borrowed from a 401k must be repaid or it will be considered income to you. Yuck. If the money is just taken from the 401k or IRA, that is a distribution and you be taxed on the amount of the distribution plus there may be an additional penalty. Most importantly, taxes on distributions are not dischargeable in bankruptcy under most instances. 3. Don’t borrow or take money from any source to cure default because most loan modifications are not ultimately approved or if they are approved, you will not like the terms. The reason this is good advice is that most mortgage loan modification require payment of principal and interest with an impound account. If you could not afford an interest only or option arm payment, it is unlikely that a 30 or 40 year fixed loan will be feasible. 4. Don’t borrow money from family or friends to cure mortgage. The reason this is good advice is that family and friends want to be repaid irrespective of whether you file bankruptcy. 5. Don’t juggle credit cards to pay the mortgage. The reason this is good advice is that cash advances may cause problems in a bankruptcy. In addition, depending on the type of real estate debt you have, a short sale or foreclosure may be possible without a bankruptcy. However, if you run up your credit cards trying to keep the house, a bankruptcy may be evitable. 6. Don’t leave the house until the property forecloses or short sale is complete. Almost every person that has
left their home prior to the foreclosure or short sale being completed regrets the decision. Once you stop paying on the mortgage, your rent is free with the exception of paying the Homeowners Dues and keeping insurance on the property. Further, since you still responsible for the maintenance of the property until the foreclosure or short sale, you might as well enjoy it and save some money. No reason to pay rent any soon than necessary. 7. Don’t let your cultural pride stand in the way of you make sound financial decisions. The reason this is good advice is that the current economy is not your parent’s economy. Your parents did not have mortgages that were 5-7 times their annual household income. They didn’t have or need credit cards for basic living expenses. 8. Don’t get married until you resolve your mortgage problems. This is good advice because if a bankruptcy is necessary, a new spouse’s income will affect your bankruptcy eligibility and will also affect the spouse’s ability to get a new home loan. If you are in default on your home mortgage or considering a default because the interest only term is going to expire, you should seek legal counsel before withdrawing any monies from a retirement account, savings account or taking a loan against your home or car. These are difficult times, but do not miss the help and protection provided by the Bankruptcy Code and California law by waiting too long. THIS OFFICE IS A DEBT RELIEF AGENCY. WE HELP PEOPLE FILE BANKRUPTCY.

Years well served Oakley resident Allan Perry recently retired after 40 years of military service. His career began in 1970, when he enlisted in the U.S. Navy. Upon completion of Navy Boot Camp at Great Lakes Naval Training in Illinois and the Naval Fleet Training in Memphis, Tenn., his first tour of duty was aboard the USS Ranger CVA-61. Airmen Perry was assigned to the shipboard crew working in the V-4 division, for which his main job was refueling aircraft assigned to the ship. He worked all the jobs on the flight deck and in the hanger bay and pump rooms. Perry completed three Westpac tours of duty on board the Ranger. After completing his four years in the Navy, he entered the reserve fleet as a weekend sailor. That year he also entered the police academy in southwestern Michigan. Upon graduation, he became a police officer for the Village of Dundee, Mich. In 1978, Perry enlisted in the Army Guard and was stationed at a decommissioned Nike base and armory in Monroe, Mich. The unit’s primary function was fire support for aircraft and artillery. In 1981, Perry moved to California and enlisted with the U.S. Air Force as an Air Guard member of the 129th RQW, stationed at NAS Moffett Field in Mountain View. The 129th’s main function during wartime is combat rescue, and
in peacetime it performs local search and rescue. Staff Sgt. Perry worked under the Logistics Squadron. In 1987, Perry became a full-time air technician, a role he continued until he was retiured by the Air Force this month at age 60. During his time, he was promoted to the rank of technical sergeant. During his career, Perry fueled Air Force One for every president starting with Ronald Reagan. He was also awarded the Military Cross for actions performed during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.

Sky’s the limit for Antioch’s Smith Falcons
coaches honored
by Michael Dixon Correspondent
In his first three years on Antioch High’s varsity baseball team, shortstop Sean Smith’s combined batting average stands at an impressive .296. He hit .338 as a junior, and now, early in his senior season, he’s hitting over .300 again. Despite Smith’s on-field accomplishments, Head Coach Ben Juarez sees him as far more than just a good baseball player, but someone who could make a difference later in life. After he leaves Antioch, Smith will enroll at Sonoma State University. In addition to trying out for Sonoma State’s baseball team as a walk-on, his goal is to obtain a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology. After that, one of his goals is to attend the University of Pacific and earn a master’s degree in physical therapy. His interest in physical therapy derives from his own sports injuries – including the shoulder injury that forced him to play first base as a junior – and the expertise of the trainers who treated him. If Smith forgoes that route after Sonoma State, he’s likely to go in an entirely different direction – up – at the United States Air Force Academy, where he’d like to be trained to fly jets. “You’re just going so fast,” said Smith. “I’ve always loved roller coasters. Then in a jet, you’re high above everyone else, with great scenery. Just free as

Former Panther and current Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Aaron Miles worked out with the Panthers for three months before heading to Arizona. Joining Miles was Florida Marlins farmhand Noah Perio, a middle infielder. Juarez said Miles was really impressed with Smith’s good hands and footwork. Smith, whose playing style resembles that of Miles and
Perio, said his time with the two pros was especially valuable. Juarez considers Smith more than just an exceptional athlete. He uses him as a role model for players at the freshman and junior varsity levels. Smith embraces this role on all levels. “Sean’s an all-around, almost a five-tool stud,” said senior second baseman Kevin Hendricks of his double-play partner. see Smith page 23A

As track and field season gets underway, Heritage High is already off to a hot start in what looks like a competitive field in the Bay Valley Athletic League. The Patriots found themselves racking up points and an overall victory at the East Bay Invitational earlier this month. Mikey Aguiar, a junior, clocked in at 51 minutes, 56 seconds in the 400 meters dash, just 1.29 seconds short of first place. Billy Eng, a senior, brought Heritage another second place in the high jump at 6 feet, 4 inches. Senior Eric Morford surprised everyone by adding a few more points for the Patriots in the 1600-meter race when he took first place with a time of 4:40.79. One of the Patriots’ key athletes at the invitational was senior Jacob Rounds, who took first in the discus and whose 51-foot, 7½-inch throw placed second in the shot put. “I think we proved to everyone that we are a formidable track team in the East Bay,” Bain said. Senior Alex Grant, who competes in the 800- and 1600-meter races, is also primed for

Though Deer Valley has started slowly, the Wolverines’ program is traditionally strong, and this year could be more of the same. Head coach Bernard Stephens pointed to the Wolverines’ 100- and 400-meter relay teams – which include senior Jesse White, junior Shawn Simms, senior Andrew Hunte and junior Tajai Smith-White – as two of the program’s highlights. Deer Valley should field another successful team of girls this year, including senior Darnella Jenkins, who competes in the 200- and 400-meter dashes, as well as the 100- and 400-meter relays and the long jump. Stephens also sees a solid year for senior sprinter Joy Gee and senior hurdler Erica Wilson. The girls relay teams should also be highly competitive in the section.

For the first time in the school’s history, Freedom High swept the Bay Valley Athletic League Coach of the Year category in winter sports. At the school’s winter sports award night earlier this month, wrestling coach John Parsons and girls soccer coach Marc Crockett were formally honored as the league’s coaches of the year. “They really focus their efforts on bringing out the best of their athletes, both academically and athletically,” Freedom Athletic Director Steve Amaro wrote in an e-mail. Parsons, who has been the Falcons wrestling coach for 14 years, claimed the award for the first time. His team finished second overall to Liberty in the BVAL and sent three athletes to the state tournament – 130pound senior captain Zack Wiley, freshman Ricky Coster and junior Roman Garcia. Freedom has traditionally run one of the stronger local programs in the area, and with Coster and Garcia returning, Parsons is looking forward to another solid year. Though Parsons was grateful for the kudos, he deferred credit to the talented grapplers he coaches. “We don’t do it for the awards,” Parsons said. “We do it for the boys.” Crockett, who claimed the girls coach of the year honor, has held the position of head soccer coach at Freedom for 13 years. Despite the lack of a home field for most of the season, the Falcons persevered and went 11-5-5 overall; 6-1-3 against BVAL foes. Freedom finished in a tie for second place with Liberty in league play. Strong play from senior goalkeeper Jessica Deno and senior forward Krystal Espindola helped the Falcons advance to the North Coast Section playoffs.

Liberty alumnus takes national stage Staff Writer Last year, Liberty High wrestling head coach Greg Chappel talked David Klingsheim, one of the most decorated Lions of all time, out of quitting the team at the University of Nebraska. Now, Chappel is in Philadelphia to cheer on his former pupil at the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championship. After claiming the Big 12 tournament title in the 125-pound division, sophomore Klingsheim advanced to the national title tournament, held this weekend. Chappel, along with an assistant coach, made the cross-country trek to watch Klingsheim take on the best of the best. “We keep in touch, and just to be able to have them there, it’s going to be pretty cool,� Klingsheim said. “Wrestling at this level has definitely been interesting.� The transition from Liberty to Lincoln was tough on Klingsheim, who didn’t know how to lose. Chappel said that calming him down after a rare loss proved quite the feat, but once the wrestler gained control of his emotions, he was unstoppable. As a Lion, Klingsheim went to the state tournament all four years, taking home the title twice. He won the Bay Valley Athletic League title four times and North Coast Section twice. However, upon enrolling at Nebraska, he discovered that college teams are
loaded with high school state champions. No longer the biggest fish in the pond, he struggled at first. In his freshman year, Klingsheim went 14-14 overall and 9-11 in dual matches. Admirable numbers, but not on his terms. “He always worked hard and hated to lose,â€? Chappel said. “There’s a learning curve and he had worked hard to get where he was at. He just had to kind of adapt to this level.â€? Klingsheim wasn’t sure if he was cut out for that next level, something of which Chappel assured him. So Klingsheim kept doing what earned him so much success. Knowing that the competition was unlike anything he faced in high school, he invested the sweat equity needed to be a big-time college wrestler – his childhood goal. “Everybody’s tough in college,â€? Klingsheim said. “You don’t have those first-round, second-round easy matches. ‌ Every match, I’ve got to be ready to wrestle. It’s been a tough transition getting used to it.â€? Klingsheim said that things didn’t really line up for him until the Big 12 tournament. Seeded fourth in the 125pound bracket, Klingsheim defeated No. 5 Brandon Jones from Iowa State. Next, he toppled top-seeded Jon Morrison from Oklahoma State. In the final round, Klingsheim earned a decision over No. 2 seed Jarrod Patterson of Oklahoma.

Liberty alumnus David Klingsheim, a sophomore wrestler at the University of Nebraska, is grappling in the NCAA Championship tournament after claiming a Big 12 title. Chappel hopes Klingsheim earns enough success at this tournament to keep him motivated for the next two years. “I’m looking forward to just wres-
tling tough,â€? Klingsheim said. “I’m not thinking about winning or losing or who I’m wrestling. ‌ I want to go compete hard and see where it takes me.â€? To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Local kids strike gold Earlier this month at the Golden State Karate Association Jr. Grand Championship Open, held at Manteca High School, two competitors who train at Verrett’s in Brentwood came home with precious metals. Winning the gold were Brentwood resident Phil Fluty, a 13-year-old brown belt, and 12-year-old Brentwood Police Activities League student Anthony Ramirez, a white belt from Oakley. Anthony took home gold in his very first Karate match and later clashed with a higher-ranking green belt in the finals. Anthony was unable to score against the green belt, but performed with courage. Phil took home gold in the forms division and later won the 17-and-under junior grand championship. On April 16 at Liberty High School, Verrett’s and the Brentwood Police Activities League (PAL) will hold an Open Martial Arts Tournament. All proceeds from the event benefit PAL.
Smith from page 19A “He picks everyone up on the field and everyone looks up to him.” Smith’s teammates are hoping he can lead the way to the North Coast Section playoffs. Currently sitting at 3-3, Antioch’s next game takes place in Santa Rosa’s Adam Westcott tournament on Monday, March 21. The Panthers’ next home game pits them against Valley Christian on March 31 and their league season starts April 12 at Deer Valley. To help them reach the playoffs, Juarez has encouraged many players, including Smith, to play water polo for the Panthers. And Smith endorsed the recommendation, stating that water polo was his most rigorous athletic experience – including playing football. “He carries over a 4.0, all AP classes,” said Juarez. “He’s been on varsity all four years. He’s a kid with good character; he’s got big dreams. All in all, he’s one of the best character guys I’ve ever coached. He’s just a really good, genuine person.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Spring from page 1B out the explosions of narrowleaf goldenbush and bush lupine augmented by the liquid percussion of the Falls Trail at Mt. Diablo State Park. And just a short hop farther from home, Sunol Regional Wilderness will soon throw the switch on the violet voltage of birds-eyes and unleash the cataracts of Little Yosemite gorge. The following three moderately strenuous hikes should help you savor spring in its fullness: BLACK DIAMOND MINES Our wet winter has set the table for a spring bound to serve up an extravagant banquet of wildflowers at Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve. The monochromatic meadows of early March are already beginning to glimmer with a thousand points of color. In south Antioch where Somersville Road ends is where our adventure begins. We pick up a map at the trailhead and ascend the Stewartville Trail to where it connects with the Ridge Trail. Here, dominating the southern horizon, the chiseled face of Mt. Diablo’s North Peak has emerged from its mantle of morning mist, upstaged by the crests of three ridges. Just below the crest of the nearest ridge stands a row of oaks sprouting tiny leaf clusters – the surest sign of spring’s arrival. From the junction, we climb the Ridge Trail east and descend through a gauntlet of blue oaks to the Corcoran Mine Trail, where we’re greeted by the flickering violet of filaree and owl’s clover. Where the Corcoran Mine Trail bottoms out, we use the Stewartville Trail as a

Here we encounter the two boldest heralds of spring yet: buckeyes, their roots tapping the creek to our left, their leaf clusters unfurled well in advance of the lumbering oaks; and buttercups glinting golden against deep green as morning light sifts through the hills. The broad road trail narrows, hooks right and upward, and we enter one of East Bay’s most intimate sanctuaries. Here, amid the sheltering trees, late-winter’s spare scenery is giving way to the gallery of red paintbrush, scarlet pimpernel and white shooting star. We
reach the crest and head east down the wide Upper Oil Canyon Trail, where grasses will soon be graced by the blue of miniature lupine. On a clear day, we gaze from this high place a hundred miles across the Central Valley and set our eyes on the snow-crowned Sierra. We rejoin the Stewartville Trail and make a left, heading west beneath towering sandstone cliffs to the Miners Trail. Up the hillside we go, gaining an increasingly magnificent panorama of the valley, till we link up with our original Stewartville/Ridge intersection. If all this spectacle – and climbing
– hasn’t worn us out, we capitalize on Black Diamond’s riches and take the scenic Ridge Trail back home. MT. DIABLO Our envelope of atmosphere since December has been cooler and wetter than normal; days have dawned greyer. If you consider it uncomfortable, consider the tradeoff: Hillsides will be glittering with wildflowers and streams running full and fast. By June’s end the color and music of spring will be a memory. Time now to savor a deep breath of that cool, wet air. It’ll be hot and dry soon enough, long enough. Those full and fast streams are a special attraction – and not merely for their visual and sonic splendor. Ever wonder why the pummel of surf, scurry of creeks and crash of waterfalls fill us with energy and alertness? The technical answer is no mere technicality: negative ions. In the case of ionization, negativity is a good thing. The mix of negative and positive ions in the air we breathe is normally a balanced affair, but water in motion boosts the proportion of negative ions. The result: refreshment and invigoration. That’s because negative ions have a talent for seizing airborne particulates – dust, allergens, pollution – and like good security guards, wrestling them to the ground. The riff-raff is dispersed, the air clarified and the brain stimulated. The negative ion addicts among us are celebrating a season to remember. Northern California rainfall and Sierra snowpack totals are currently above normal. If you see Spring page 3B

Spring from page 2B haven’t time to make the three-hour trip east of East County to the planet’s prime shrine to cannonading cascades and roiling rivers – Yosemite Valley – take heart. A half-hour trip west of downtown Brentwood lands you at the threshold to Contra Costa County’s own water show: the Falls Trail at Mt. Diablo. Take Marsh Creek Road west into Clayton. Turn left at the first stoplight, Regency Drive, and park at the dead end. Descend the gully and head left to the park entrance, where you’ll find a large map on display. Our customized route to the Falls Trail is more complicated than the one the map outlines – and more scenic. Strike out south on Donner Canyon Road, where Donner Creek’s silky serenade begins. If you’re out at dawn or dusk, keep an eye peeled for stealthy mule deer and coyote slipping through the trees. In less than a mile, angle off left onto the Hetherington Loop Trail past buttercups and purple ookow. You’ll cross Donner Creek three times down here; its tributaries five times up on the Falls Trail. After your second creek crossing, go left on the Lower Donner Trail. A third crossing and a series of rising turns ushers you into a wildflower expo spanning the color spectrum: tightly packed clusters of narrow-leaf goldenbush counterpointed by the neon red of Indian paintbrush and deep blue of miniature lupine. Popcornflower dusts the hillsides like snow. Tighten your laces, hitch up your pack and latch onto the Wasserman Trail, taking it right and peakward past swarms of Mt. Diablo manzanita. As you gain elevation, Don-
EAST COUNTY LIFE
ner Canyon is unveiled below to your west. Coulter pine is populous along this stretch of trail, and easy to identify. Its cone can grow to the size and shape of a regulation football. Make a right at the Cardinet Oaks signpost and descend the fire road. In less than two minutes you’ll find the Falls Trail on your left. Purple bunch lupine, California orange poppy – and the sound of rushing water – waste no time heralding your arrival. Above rise the two main pinnacles of the Diablo massif: North Peak (3,557’) and the Summit (3,849’). Fear not: the Falls Trail tops out at a benevolent 1,640’. You’ll cross several streams as you swing across North Peak’s series of canyon-cut buttresses. After the second stream, look for a promontory on your right where mature coulter pines keep sentinel, jutting diagonally from the cliff face. Here’s your ultimate picnic spot: below you the falls whoosh like wind in the trees. In addition to the water show, the trail takes you through corridors of violet shooting star, purple nightshade and lavender subdivisions of Chinese houses. Falls Trail feeds into Middle Trail. Continue down past the skeletal remains of manzanitas and clusters of burgundy-tinged Indian warrior. You’ll dead-end at Meridian Ridge Road. Go right, and shortly thereafter veer left onto Donner Canyon Road. For a more private finale than the wide road trail can provide, look for a signpost on your right marked Hetherington Loop Trail. It’ll take you back down to those Donner Creek crossings you rock-hopped a couple hours earlier. Water. It enfolded us inside our moth-
ers’ womb, revived our hominid ancestors as they stole sips along streams carving the primeval savannah. Our DNA is deeply encoded with its galvanizing sound and refreshing sensation. And now is the time to enjoy it up close – and close to home. SUNOL It would take a long time for the dedicated trekker to merely drop by all of East Bay’s major stomping grounds – it would take a few lifetimes to plumb their depths. But to East County folk familiar with our local parks and thirsting for some new yet nearby landscapes to drink in, we offer this word: Sunol. Few places in the Bay Area can compare to the convergence of water and wildflowers at the Sunol Regional Wilderness in spring. The park’s 7,000 acres are a paradise for backpackers, equestrians and casual strollers. The trails take you to Little Yosemite gorge, where the energy of Alameda Creek is set loose, up hillsides swarming with wildflowers to panoramas of the South Bay and Livermore Valley. One loop in particular is a must-see this time of year: Camp Ohlone Road and Canyon View Trail. Sunol Regional Wilderness is located east of the junction of Route 680 and Calaveras Road.

The scarlet spikes of Indian paintbrush adorn the shoulder of the Falls Trail at Mt. Diablo State Park.
Spring from page 3B in the violet side of the color spectrum to our ... well, all over the place. Patches of miner’s lettuce put out tiny white flowers contrasting the dark purple of miniature lupine. Farther up, the Little Yosemite picture comes gradually into focus. Canyon walls rise steeply around us while the banks of Alameda Creek drop dramatically to our right. Since we stepped out of our vehicle we’ve never been out of earshot of running water. But now its crescendo begins in earnest, climaxing at the gorge in the noise of distant but perpetual thunder, tons of water roiling through a maze of massive boulders. When our senses have been sufficiently shellacked, we hoist ourselves out of the gorge and hook up with the Canyon View Trail, where another form of bombardment – salvoes of spring wildflowers – is as concentrated as anywhere in the Bay Area. Among the many detonations of color are owl’s clover in violet and maroon, California orange poppy and (the dominant form of ordinance going off) bird’s-eye, a flower with white petals tinged in purple. Combine these chromatic blasts with the view of the gorge below and Sunol’s surrounding hills beyond, and we know we’ve come to a magical place. When we come to the McCorkle Trail, it’s decision time. If we’re done for the day, we take McCorkle left, back to Camp Ohlone Road and our ride home. If we have more time (and several thousand calories) to burn, we continue on Canyon View to the Indian Joe Creek Trail and hang a right. We’re on our way up to the wonders of Cave Rocks and past that, an enchanted falling creek along the Eagle View Trail. Hitch a ride down by way of Flag Hill Trail and we’ll have drunk deeply of the intoxicating brew known as Sunol in spring. You might think you’ve had your fill of water this season. Not so fast – there’s a big difference between the effect on our spirits of falling water and flowing water, between dark skies drenching us and sun-drenched skies hovering above our view of rushing streams. If it’s the latter you crave, the 50minute drive south to Sunol is a small price to pay. Another superb spring walk we’ve described recently is Round Valley Regional Preserve’s Hardy Canyon Trail. For a trail guide to Round Valley in spring, visit http://www.thepress.net/bookmark/7466564. If you’ve had enough of winter, cheer up. Spring is here. Stand very still and you can sense a presence, a fingertip prodding to life the crimson and green inside countless cocoons of flower and leaf. Step outside and see it emerge. Taste. Swirl spring around in your mouth like wine. And drink deeply. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Striped bass can bring a smile like this to any youngster, and one of the best places in the world to catch them is right here in the Delta. Photo courtesy of Jon Bloom
Wake boat striper fishin’ GO
A world of wonder and excitement is just around the bend without a big investment of time, energy or money. All it requires are three things you might already have on hand (or under foot): an enthusiastic child, a Scooby-Doo fishing pole and a tiny bit of patience. Combine these on any boat with access to the Delta, and striped bass (aka stripers) are a formula for fun and lasting childhood memories. They are not difficult fish to catch ON THE and require little in the way of tackle ATER sophistication. Seriously, a kiddy pole and rubber grub right out of the cheesy tackle box put plenty of fish in my boat last spring. These won’t typically be keepers, but kids will squeal with excitement nevertheless. Spring stripers run mostly in March and April, and a successful outing is possible with a number of different bait CAPT. JON BLOOM presentations or fishing methods. When the stripers are thick, almost anything will get bit. They tend to congregate where the shad school, including spots such as Discovery Bay, Frank’s Track, Mildred Island and Big Break. Waiting in deep holes and next to fast-water areas, stripers ambush passing schools of the unsuspecting bait fish. Early or late in the day, when the sun isn’t directly on the water, top water stick baits are very effective especially if you can spot where the shad are boiling. Look for birds circling above, also feeding on the schooling shad. Toss the bait out and wait until the water rings have died, then give it a little twitch and wait again. If nothing hits, work the bait back to the boat with a zigzag jerking motion, pausing between jerks. Once the sun is higher, a soft, 5-inch rubber “swim bait” or hard crank bait is popular and productive. White variants are a good choice of color, as they most closely resemble the shad. Try slow trolling behind the boat, watching the depth sounder for holes. When you hook up a fish, turn around go back 200 yards to repeat the same thing you just did. Chances are you’ll catch more fish because you found a spot they’re holed up in. Artificial bait reigns supreme in my book. It doesn’t require an extra stop, doesn’t stink, rot or get left on the upholstery to dry out and adhere like glue. If you must, a 2-inch piece of anchovy with bullet weight and large hook should be an effective drifting technique. One key to catching fish is being systematic with presentation. An in-gear idle upwind, for example, will be a slower troll than downwind. When you hook up a fish, remember where it is and how you were “presenting.” Keep a mental log of bait, time of day, wind and location. Pretty soon you’ll have the ability to repeat success with the best of them. If you aren’t catching fish, try a different lure, location or method of presentation. Stop in and see Gene Buchholtz, proprietor of Oakley’s Hook Line and Sinker, for all the bait, tackle and knowledge necessary for a successful outing. Also, don’t forget to pick up a fishing license for anyone with rod in hand over the age of 15. The keeper limit is two fish more than 18 inches; however, catch-andrelease contributes to a sustainable fishery. Give it a try … you may just get hooked yourself! Oh, and one more thing … hang on if you hook into a 40 pounder! Have fun and boat safe. Jonathan Bloom is a USCG licensed Master and ASA certified sailing instructor.

The housing market has been under siege for the past several years due to the financial meltdown, but an exciting new program called Path2Buy has been created to help jump-start the housing recovery. The market research done by Path2Buy founder Tom Ward shows that today’s renters are on the fence about purchasing a home. The Path2Buy Program has been designed to assist today’s renters by creating a personalized plan, whether they buy in five months or five years. When Ward asks renters if they plan on
being lifetime renters, most answer, “No, I just don’t plan to buy right now.” This shows the American Dream of home ownership is alive and well but in need of an energy boost, and Cherry Creek Mortgage, the first certified Path2Buy office in the East Bay, is ready to help. The Path2Buy’s motto is “It’s OK not to buy right now, but it’s not OK to not have a plan.” If you’re a renter on the home-buying fence, check out the Path2Buy video at www. pathtobuy.com/tw for more information. You can also call a certified Path2Buy coach at 925-474-1125.

Little leaguers can sustain big injuries by Dagan Henderson Correspondent Youth softball and baseball leagues are starting up, and young athletes everywhere are looking forward to the thrill of winning, team camaraderie and the joy of making a perfect play. Injuries are probably the last thing on their minds. But according to Dr. Benjamin Busfield, 3.5 million children are treated for sports-related injuries every year. “It’s not surprising that parents and coaches tend to worry most about singleevent injuries such as two players colliding – which is where most prevention efforts are focused – but the majority of sports-related injuries are actually caused by overuse,” said Busfield, a board certified orthopedic surgeon and fellowship-trained sports medicine specialist affiliated with Sutter Delta Medical Center. The statistic is true of most youth
sports, but baseball and softball pitchers are especially prone to overuse injuries. “Even when a young pitcher throws a ball,” said Busfield, “there is a powerful whipping force that travels down the arm.” When pitches are thrown one after another throughout a game or practice, the muscles eventually grow fatigued and body mechanics change. According to Busfield, the change in body mechanics can easily lead to an injury. To address the problem, most youth leagues limit the number of pitches a player can throw in a day, but the rules generally apply only to in-game pitches. Every pitch matters, even those thrown during warmups and practices, but it isn’t feasible for coaches and league officials to track every single pitch a player throws. “The best person to track an individual’s pitch count is the player themselves,” said Busfield, “so it’s really important that they understand how excessive use can lead

days of rest, but injuries left untreated can lead to permanent damage. “If your child complains of pain, or if you notice that they are in pain even though they deny it, insist that they take three or more days off of pitching. If the pain doesn’t go away on its own after a couple of days, the child should be seen by a doctor to make sure there isn’t a more serious injury.” For parents, enforcing the rules is never any fun, but teaching our children to take care of their bodies is one of the most valuable lessons we can pass on.

to injury, and the importance of resting between pitching days.” This year’s Little League pitch counts for ages 7 and 8 are no more than 50 per game, followed by one day of rest. The number increases for each age group, maxing out at 105 pitches for 17- and 18-year-olds. To emphasize the importance of following these guidelines, parents should make sure they and their children are clear on the appropriate pitch count for the child’s age, and that the actual number of pitches thrown each day is tracked.

Outlaws put live spin on karaoke by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer The next time you’re in the mood for a little karaoke, head on down to Bases Loaded in Antioch. But leave behind your preconceived notions of middle-aged women belting out “I Will Survive� or cheesy Sinatra wannabes doing it their way. This is live band karaoke, courtesy of the Karaoke Outlaws, and it’s a little more David Lee Roth than Gloria Gaynor. Think of it as karaoke with attitude. “Everyone wants to be a singer, and we give them a chance to feel what it’s really like to be on a stage leading the band,� said Doug Ott, one third of the Karaoke Outlaws. “They get to do stuff they couldn’t do at a regular karaoke bar. They’re the stars.� A real estate appraiser by day and musician by night, Ott said the concept for the Karaoke Outlaws was born of frustration with the typical karaoke experience: “I would get out there and there would be some cheesy background music and it really didn’t you a chance to get up there and sing. But we thought it would be so much more fun and more real to sing with a live band.� Ott and band mates Charlie Hinton and Roger Glomb launched their karaoke
careers at a venue in Walnut Creek. But as more and more East County residents made the trek over the hill to perform with the Outlaws, Ott starting looking for a venue closer to home – and found one. Beginning March 24 and continuing every other Thursday, the Karaoke Outlaws perform at Bases Loaded from 8 p.m. to midnight. The band’s current repertoire boasts more than 200 songs, including plenty of classic rock, country and R&B – tunes not typically found on the average karaoke jukebox. But what the Karaoke Outlaws are really all about is acceptance and fun. “What’s great about this is that there are people who show up that have no business singing – and by the end of the night they’re on cloud nine because they’ve done something they never thought they’d do,� said Ott. “We get all kinds of people coming up to sing: there’s the businessman; the mother of three; the single, young chick; and the angry rocker guy who wants to get up there and sing some AC/DC. And that’s what they get to do. For five minutes, everyone gets to be someone else. For that few minutes, you get to be a star.� Bases Loaded Restaurant and Bar is located at 400 G St. in Antioch.
