Organic skin care goes to the goats by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer When Sylvia Melendez was a little girl, her mother would regularly line up the family for their dreaded doses of castor oil. “Yes, she absolutely made us drink that awful stuff,” laughed Melendez. “We knew it was good for us, but the taste? Terrible.” Now as an adult, the Brentwood resident has found a less repugnant use for the oil. She uses it as an integral ingredient in her Tierra Mia line of organic skin care products. Tierra Mia (Spanish for “my land”) is a product line made from raw goat’s milk and other natural ingredients such as honey and apricot, coconut, olive and castor oils. It’s also gluten-free and all-organic. The Tierra Mia line of soaps, lotions, scrubs and lip balms are designed for those looking for a simpler and healthier approach to skin care. For those with sensitive skin, Tierra Mia products also address imbalances in the skin that cause such conditions as eczema, psoriasis and acne. But why goat’s milk? “Because their milk is very similar in pH levels to healthy human skin pH levels,” said Melendez. “And that is what brings balance to the skin. There’s nothing like it.” What began a few years ago as an avenue to make her own cheese, yogurt, ice cream and milk has blossomed into a growing line of skin care products available at Whole Foods, upscale boutiques and online businesses. “I started out making just soaps for some of my clients and friends,” said Melendez, who has been an aesthetician for more than 25 years. “And it took off from there.” Mary Swenson, a customer and recently hired employee, is one client who’s glad it did. The Brentwood resident has long suffered from sensitive skin and considers the Tierra Mia line a godsend. “For those with skin that is so hypersen-

I can’t say enough about them.” But for Melendez, the real stars of Tierra Mia are her farm family of two adult goats and five kids – her “babies.”

“They are the most gentle, loving animals you can imagine,” said Melendez, who lives with her goats on acreage in Brentwood. “I really love the farm part of it all. I love getting out there and dancing with them, playing with them and taking care of them. They are wonderful.” As the business has grown, so have Melendez’s needs. She recently leased an office in Brentwood where she and her three employees – all women – mix, match and produce on site the organic potions that become Tierra Mia products. Stacks of soaps line the walls and vats of oils and ingredients are squeezed into the small space. But for the women who work there, it’s all a labor of love. “It’s crazy fun,” said Melendez. “We’re good friends who look forward to seeing each other and we work so well together. Is it fair to say this company will stay womenowned and operated? Yes, I think you can say that. Women can just do more; we can do five things at once and still be brainstorming new ideas and ways to do things. Women are just very good at multitasking – they get it.” But women aren’t the only ones “getting” the benefits of goat’s milk. Men too are grabbing up the natural products and replacing their old soaps and shaving creams with Melendez’s line of men’s skin care products. Goat’s milk products are fast becoming familiar fare at local farmers’ markets throughout the state, and on April 21 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., the San Francisco farmers’ market will host the fourth annual Goat Festival at the Ferry Building, featuring and celebrating all things goat. And Melendez will be there, displaying her wares. “It’s such a great event,” she said. “I love going and seeing and sampling all the products. Everyone should come out; it’s a lot of fun.” To purchase or learn more about Tierra Mia products, visit www.tierramiaorganics.com or call 925-913-0544. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Women leave mark on Brentwood history by Samie Hartley Staff Writer

The names of Brentwood’s founding fathers are memorialized throughout the city on street signs and the sides of schools and landmarks, but many of the city’s earliest achievements can be traced back to local women. The Brentwood Women’s Club, founded in 1901, first met at the John Marsh House, where club founder Sara Ivory and her husband, Sheriff M.B. Ivory, resided. The club’s first mission was to establish a makeshift library. Club members collected books, newspapers and magazines and opened the Brentwood Reading Room in 1902. The club was instrumental in the establishment of the city’s first public library in 1915, raising $400 for construction costs. The women’s club even changed its name to the Brentwood Literacy Association in 1910, but the club reverted to its original name in the 1930s as its scope reached beyond books. While literacy remained one of the main causes championed by the women’s club, the members also supported many city efforts at the turn of the 20th century, purchasing the city’s first street signs in 1904. Their fundraisers also helped pay for Brentwood’s first streetlights, which were installed on Oak Street. The club also helped establish Brentwood’s first high school, and members worked diligently with city officials on the creation

For in-

stance, their fundraisers helped purchase the first fire engine. A lot of people don’t realize how much the women of this area did for the welfare of the city.” The club supported local schools see History page 13A

Murder-suicide in Brentwood by Rick Lemyre Staff Writer A Brentwood man distraught over the breakup of his marriage shot his wife to death before killing himself last week in the city’s first homicide since 2010. Police said the man, Christopher Lo, 47, shot his wife, Joyce Lo, 42, multiple times before turning the gun on himself just before 3 p.m. last Wednesday. Police said the couple was estranged, and that Christopher Lo did not live at the house where the shootings occurred. His wife had recently filed for divorce, and the breakup appears to have been too much for him to deal with, police said. Lt. Tom Hansen said the incident was called in by the couple’s 13-year-old daughter, who was at the house at the time of the shootings. Hansen said the girl is currently staying

Scott Bernd, who lives three houses down the street, said that as he walked his dogs the afternoon before the killings, he observed Christopher Lo at the residence holding a Victoria’s Secret bag on the front porch and talking to someone inside. “I could tell from his tone of voice that he was very frustrated, but not angry,” said Bernd, who said he does not know the family. “I’m floored.” Traffic was re-routed in the area around Finn Way, a 6-year-old tract in east Brentwood, as the investigation proceeded.

HELP FOR UNDER-WATER INVESTORS Hey, is that a pig I see flying by? Lots of news the last few weeks in regards to things that many people told me would NEVER happen. First it is HARPII letting people refinance their homes even if they are upside down. Then BofA announces they are going to be dropping hundreds of thousands of dollars off the principal for some lucky homeowners. And now, I’ve heard that investors that are underwater on their rental properties may be getting some help from the federal government. Investors may be able to get up to four loans modified starting in May under the new HAMP rules. The Treasury Department will be giving incentives to banks to lower interest rates, extend the terms, or even cut the principal balance. The investor must promise to rent the homes out if not rented already. For a long time there has been intense resistance to help investors because many people believe investors helped drive the bubble up further than it should have. There is also the idea that the inves-

tors were taking a calculated risk in order to get a financial gain, so they should bear any of the downside risk. But those thoughts are now being overruled by other concerns. First there is the plight of innocent tenants getting evicted after the investor defaults, or the row after row of vacant homes dragging property values down. It’s to the point where now the government is thinking that vacant, blighted homes are a problem, no matter HOW they got to that point. They are thinking that cleaning up the mess will be good for everyone in the long run. At the peak of the bubble, in some parts of California 30-40% of all home sales were investment purchases. Right now a little more than 20% of homes in foreclosure are to investors. If you have questions on this or any other real estate topic, call me at (925) 240-MOVE (6683).

Relay celebrates cancer survivors by Samie Hartley Staff Writer

Cancer doesn’t take a holiday, but that doesn’t stop local cancer survivors from taking a moment to savor life’s sweetness – especially when ice cream is involved. Brentwood and Oakley Relay For Life organizers recently teamed up to host a survivor’s ice cream social fundraiser at Club Los Meganos in Brentwood. Attended by more than 20 survivors and their caregivers, the event was a celebration for those who continue to battle cancer with both tenacity and grace. “Relay For Life helps create hope by providing 50 percent of the American Cancer Society’s annual income and allowing us to fund many of their programs and services that allow us to be there for anyone who needs support,” said cancer

survivor Wendy Robertson, Brentwood Relay survivor committee chairperson. “Relay gives hope to cancer survivors by welcoming them with open arms and showing them and everyone else in attendance that there is life after cancer. For many cancer survivors, caregivers and loved ones, Relay provides focus for their fight against the disease that has already taken too much.” Discovery Bay resident Shellie Seyer, who is battling breast cancer, shared her story with crowd, explaining what Relay means to her. The single mother, who is avidly involved in community service, has been involved in Relay for several years, but since this will be her first year as a survivor, she’s especially excited. “The blessing in all this – and yes, there is a blessing – is that you don’t know how strong you are until you have to be, and there are so many people to reach

Participants form teams and pledge to keep at least one team member on the track at all times to show that the fight against cancer doesn’t take a break. Teams seek donations and all proceeds go back to the American Cancer Society. East County hosts three annual Relays: in Oakley, Brentwood and Antioch. Oakley’s event is less than a month away, and Event Chair Tobie Meyer is planning a Relay to remember. Scheduled for April 28 and 29 at Freedom High School, Oakley’s Relay will have a 1980s theme. “We’re encouraging our participants to come dressed in ’80s attire,” Meyer

said. “There is going to be a special ’80sthemed event and then we’re going to open Club Relay, which is a tented dance area where we’ll play classic ’80s songs into the night.” Forty teams comprising 302 participants are currently signed up for the Oakley Relay. Meyer’s goal is to sign up 55 teams. Interested participants may register their team online or during the day of the event. For more information, visit www.relayforlife.org/oakleyca. Brentwood’s Relay For Life is scheduled for June 16 and 17 at Liberty High School. For more information, visit www. relayforlife.org/brenwoodca.

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage Matters By Trevor Frey

Free Lunch “There’s no such thing as a free lunch!” I’m pretty sure we’ve all had that mentioned to us at least once in our lives. Whether it was academics or athletics, the formula for success was always the same: Work hard – no one owes you anything and you shouldn’t expect a free lunch. Fast forward to 2011 and three states – Michigan, Kentucky, and Illinois – will be participating in the U.S. Department of Agriculture Eligibility Option as “test pilots” for a new program. What is this program you ask? As part of President Barack Obama’s Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act the three pilot states will provide all students – regardless of economic status – a free breakfast, lunch, and snack during the school day. The programs first goal is to ensure youngsters are receiving healthy meals. The second goal however is a bit more in line with our free lunch theory. According to Detroit’s Chief Operating Officer, Mark Schrupp, “Some students would skip important meals to avoid being identified as low-income. Now, all students will walk through a lunch line and not have to pay. Low-income students will not be easily identifiable and will be less likely to skip meals.” So, with our “no such thing as a free lunch” theory out the window, let’s see how we can apply this to the housing market… Until recently all down-payment assistance programs were more like second loans. While you didn’t come out of pocket with all of the monies needed to purchase your home, you’d still end up paying back

the “assistance” over the period of homeownership. To ensure their money was secure the assis-tance company would tie a second loan to the title of your house. Once the home was sold or refinanced you’d have to include their loan into your final figures. Programs such as this are still available and are the perfect argument for the proving the “no free lunch theory” right. However, as with the loop hole that is the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, California now has the CRHMFA Homebuyers Fund, or, CHF. CHF’s Platinum program is grant money and does not have to be repaid. If you are a first time buyer, live in Contra Costa County, and make less than $110,760, you are eligible for this program! CHF’s Platinum Program offers first time buyers 3% of their purchase price to be applied towards closing costs or down payment. Think about this, that’s 3% of your purchase price for free – no hidden agenda, no balloon payment, free money! In theory, as a first time buyer, you’d only have to come in with half a percent as your down payment. Talk about a free lunch!!! If you have any real estate lending related questions or concerns, or wish to speak about the CHF Platinum program as not all lenders are certified to offer the product, don’t hesitate to write me at tfreymortgages@yahoo.com or call me directly on my cell phone, (925) 726-1444.

New Law on Short Sales What you Should Know to Protect Yourself by Joan Grimes, Esq.

Effective July 15, 2011, California Code of Civil Procedure (â&#x20AC;&#x153;CCPâ&#x20AC;?) 580(e) was amended to prohibit a deficiency judgment on any loan secured solely by a deed of trust on a 1-4 unit dwelling sold in a short sale. Enough legal jargonâ&#x20AC;Śwhat exactly does this mean and how does apply to you? First, it means that if your lenders agree to a short sale, it will release you from your personal liability on loans secured solely by a deed of trust against a dwelling of 1- 4 units. If the lenders want the short sale to go through, they will have to be satisfied with the proceeds from the sale. The banks can no longer demand that borrowers sign promissory notesâ&#x20AC;Ś AND no more tricking borrowers into believing that releasing of the lien was in fact releasing their personal liability. The lenders do not have to agree to the short sale, but if they agree, they cannot come after you once the short sale is completed. However, if you think this is too good to be trueâ&#x20AC;Śyouâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right. Keep reading! Second, there is no requirement for a release of personal liability on anything other than a consensual lien i.e. no requirement to release judgment lien or liens placed on the property such as by a homeowners association or taxing authority. These parties do not have to agree to accept the proceeds from the sale as payment in full. The forgiveness of personal liability also does not apply to borrowers who are corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnership or political subdivision of the state. In addition, it also does not prohibit the lender from obtaining a judgment for fraud with respect to the short sale or waste committed to the property. Third, CCP 580(e) does not release you from any tax liability. Remember, every short sale has tax implications. The IRS/State Franchise Tax Board wants to know two things: 1) Did you make any

1$785$/ 6721(

money on the deal and 2) Did you borrow any money which was not repaid? If you made money on the deal, including taking out cash to buy another house, car, pay off credit card, you may have a gain. If you borrowed money which was not repaid, you will have Cancellation of Debt Income (â&#x20AC;&#x153;CODIâ&#x20AC;?). CODI will be taxable to you at your current tax rate unless an exception applies. Make sure you know all the tax implications before the short sale is completed. If there is CODI, it can be discharged in bankruptcy, but only if the bankruptcy is filed prior to the short sale being completed. In conclusion, CCP 580(e) is a mixed bag for consumers. It may help reduce personal liability while increasing tax liability. There is no question that this new law is going to hurt the lenders and help the IRS and State Franchise Tax Board. This will be found money for the tax man. Borrowers will see the forgiveness of personal liability and completely disregard the tax consequences. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be one of those people! If you are considering a short sale, seek legal advice prior to starting the short sale process. This is a complicated area of the law, but a bankruptcy or real estate attorney should be able to make to an analysis of your particular situation fairly quickly. I see people for a FREE 30 minute consultations at my offices located in Walnut Creek, Antioch and Brentwood.

Athletic club sponsors student for West Point Noah PeĂąa, a junior at Heritage High School in Brentwood, had a lofty goal: to attend the Summer Leaders Seminar (SLS) at the United States Military Academy at West Point, N.Y. this summer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a physically demanding program. So he wrote to the Delta Valley Athletic Club (DVAC) in Brentwood and asked the club to sponsor him for six months in his preparation for West Point. DVAC matched PeĂąaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enthusiasm, providing him full use of its facility and the assistance of personal trainers Scott and Mike Westerhof. Noah received the good news that he was selected to be among the 1,000 attendees (chosen from more than 4,000 high school juniors nationwide) at SLS. Attendees live in the cadet barracks, eat in the cadet mess and participate in academic, leadership, athletic and military workshops. The one-week seminar helps the students with their college-selection process and emphasizes the importance of leadership and sound decision-making in their education, careers and lives. All SLS attendees participate in virtual-reality war simulation as well as military and physical-fitness training. PeĂąa was also chosen as one of two participants selected from Heritage High School to attend the one-week American

In addition to his academic endeavors, he plans to excel in cross country plus track and field. PeĂąa wants to publicly thank all his teachers, coaches, family, friends and especially the Delta Valley Athletic Club for all their encouragement and support.

Cherry’s Tax Facts... By Cherry Comstock

Deadline Looming for Unclaimed Refunds

$1 B in Tax Refunds May Wind Up in the US Treasury The three-year window of opportunity for non-filers to claim a tax refund for 2008 is about to expire. After Tuesday, April 17, 2012, this year’s federal tax filing deadline, the unclaimed funds will become the property of the US Treasury. Given that IRS is sitting on more than one billion dollars in unclaimed refunds from 2008, the refunds could be substantial. IRS estimates that over half of the potential refunds are for $637 or more and there is no penalty for filing a late return qualifying for a refund. Those who did not file a return in 2008 and are planning to file now in hope of seeing the refund need to keep in mind that IRS requires them to have filed in 2009 or 2010, or else the check may be held. Non-filers are not necessarily breaking the law; they may have had so little income that year that they were not required to file a return. If taxes were withheld from a paycheck, or quarterly estimated payments were made, a refund could be waiting at IRS. However, if the taxpayer owes back child support or is behind on federal loans, such as student loans, IRS may use the funds to offset those debts. Not filing taxes can also cause taxpayers to miss out on other government funds. Those who did not file in 2008 may now be eligible for some

or all of the Recovery Rebate Credit, a one-time payment for taxpayers who didn’t receive the full economic stimulus payment in 2008 and whose circumstances have changed. Low-to-middle income taxpayers could also be missing out on the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), which helps individuals and families whose incomes are below certain thresholds. If you did not file in 2008, you can start this process by heading to the IRS website (IRS. gov), where you will find past year’s tax forms and instructions. Those who no longer have 2008 tax documents can request a free transcript from IRS, or hire a licensed tax practitioner to take this on. An enrolled agent, a tax specialist licensed by the US Department of Treasury, can go to the IRS on your behalf – as your “agent” – prepare your return, and represent you before IRS if there is trouble, such as an audit or collection action. According to IRS, the three states with the highest number of 2008 non-filers with potential refunds are California, with 122,500, Texas, with 96,200 and Florida, with 70,400. Please contact us at Jet Tax for all your tax needs: www.jettax.org, info@www.jettax.org, or call (925)778-0281. One of our enrolled agents will be happy to assist you. – Advertisement

Passover Seder fest For more than 3,300 years, Jewish families the world over have gathered around the festive table on the eve of Passover to commemorate the Exodus from Egypt and celebrate the Seder feast. The Passover Haggadah, which records the Seder’s narrative, says that in each generation, man must see himself as if he had personally gone out of Egypt. Jewish mysticism teaches that Egypt and its nefarious Pharaoh symbolize the negative forces that constrict man. The slavery in Egypt represents the emotional and psychological shackles that confine and enslave the human spirit, constraining one’s ability to live up to our fullest spiritual potential.

Stretch pants good for what ales you I put on a pair of pants the other day, or at least I tried to. I was in for a shock. Yeah, it seems all that holiday overindulging finally caught up with me. The problem: the holidays are long gone, but my overindulging kept going. It seems it HANGIN’ IN happened overnight, HERE but the truth is, I’ve been in denial for some time. I blamed my shrinking underwear on the dryer. My stretchy jeans still fit, but VICKI that’s the danger of MCKENNA stretchy jeans; they keep stretching as you keep growing, and it’s not until you grab a pair of real jeans with an unyielding waistband that the ugly truth is revealed. I forced myself into my cruel jeans and spent the rest of the day in a bad mood because that waistband kept reminding me, as it dug itself into my flesh, that I probably needed to go on a diet. I hate diets! Who doesn’t? I used to think that because I exercise regularly I could eat anything I wanted. And believe me, I did. Nachos, beer, cookies – I needn’t worry. When those Weight Watcher’s commercials came on, I’d smugly tell myself, “Thank God I don’t need to diet!” Well here I am – and I’m not happy. I didn’t have the guts to step on a scale. I told myself I’d wait a week, eat sensibly and then weigh in. The first thing I knew, I was cutting out was my beloved Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. It figures. My favorite beer packs about 300 calories per bottle. It had to go. Next went the nachos, my go-to quick dinner for the entire family, loaded with beans, three cheeses and sour cream. Hasta la vista. I knew what my future looked like – for a while: salad, salad, salad. Within minutes I plummeted into depression.

History from page 5A and youth organizations, but its mission to help those in need was also a global effort. During World War I and II, the Brentwood Women’s Club teamed with the Red Cross to prepare care packages for soldiers overseas. In later years, the club avidly supported the March of Dimes, which promotes health for pregnant women and newborns. The women’s club often held socials, fashion shows and bake sales to raise money, but over the years, participation in the club waned, and the organization dissolved in 2009. “The women’s club was started by

I needed a Victoria’s Secret fix. That place always makes me feel better. I know most of the girls that work there, and they always make me feel good about myself. I walked in, grabbed a few things and headed for the dressing room. Maybe a new bra would lift my spirits. I picked out a pretty coral, lacy number in my size. Well, it used to be my size! I fastened the hooks and got a look at my back in the mirror. Ahhh! Where did all those rolls come from? What the heck! I suddenly felt like the girl in the Willy Wonka movie who blows up like a balloon in a matter of seconds. (OK, I wasn’t purple, but it seemed I was getting bigger by the minute.) I couldn’t get that bra off fast enough. Believe me, there’s nothing like a three-way mirror to put things in perspective. I vow to never put one of those in my house. The week went by slowly. I told everyone I was on a diet. People were shocked that I stopped drinking beer. It was easy. I drank wine instead. I did miss nachos, but the thought of washing them down with wine made me a little queasy, so I got over it. Less carbs, more protein – and salad, salad, salad. Finally my week was over. Time to weigh in. Wow. I was glad I waited a week. The number was bigger than I thought, which meant that a week ago the number was horrifying! That’s OK. I’ll keep pressing on. I have the support of my family. Everyone is trying to eat better now, including my husband. But you know men. All they need to do is stop eating butter for a week and 20 pounds drops off. It’s so unfair. Now when those Weight Watcher commercials come on, I listen. I know it didn’t take me a couple weeks to pack this weight on, so it’ll take more than a couple of weeks to unpack it. My days of quaffing beer and wolfing down nachos without a care are probably gone for good. I hope one day I can enjoy a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale again … but it’ll probably be with a salad.

stay-at-home moms,” Leighton said. “It was the highlight of their month to take a night off and visit with the other women in the community. But now, women go to work, so they value their time at home more. The networking aspect of the club also changed. Today, women can swap homemaking and parenting tips on the Internet without ever leaving the house. I guess it’s just a sign of the times.” Leighton, who served as club president in the 1970s, hopes the club will be revived in the future as the club’s mission to support the community is always a worthy cause.

Paid to be in harm’s way Editor: This letter is in response to one submitted on March 8 by Mrs. Diane Blair of Antioch. I was deeply saddened by her comments regarding the overcompensated California “prison guards.” Those comments clearly demonstrate how much more work we (CCPOA members) must do to ensure that the public understands our role and responsibilities along with the realities of our working environment. One thing that the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has failed to do is open our doors and let the world see what we experience. I urge Mrs. Blair to take a tour of San Quentin State Prison. I also urge her to bring her husband and other retired or active peace officers on that trip. Get a firsthand look behind the curtain. Our starting salary in the Correctional Academy is a mere $3,000 per month for 16 weeks. This jumps to approximately $3,900 upon arrival to your institution. With the state furloughs, many did not see a raise for over one year. It takes approximately seven years to reach top step in salary, which is currently $6,144 per month. Considering most agencies pay anywhere from $4,000 to $5,000 during the academy, it is very difficult for me to grasp the concept that we are overpaid. Our benefits are in line with most other departments. We have 3 percent at 50 Calpers retirement, paid medical, dental and vision plans and optional 401 and 457 plans. We pay a portion of retirement, medical, dental and vision. Soon, we will probably see a shift to a lower retirement plan for new hires, which again, is in line with the direction of other departments. What do we do to earn this great salary and benefits, you ask? Upon review of my most recent Peace

Keeper periodical (a CCPOA publication) I have discovered the following for the month of January, 2012: 10 incidents of battery on a peace officer, 20 incidents of battery on a peace officer (with injuries), one incident of assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer, and six riots (the smallest involved approximately 16 inmates and the largest involved approximately 300 inmates). One great lieutenant that recently retired was assaulted over 300 times in his career, including being stabbed numerous times and shot once. In Southern California, a parole agent was recently shot in the face while attempting to apprehend an at-large parolee. I have lost count of how many others have been assaulted during my short time in this department. It might be interesting to you to know of the great work being done by other members of my department. We also have special agents, tactical teams (SWAT), hostage-negotiation teams, K-9 units, fugitive-apprehension teams, gang units and other specialized personnel within our organization. These all fall under the title of correctional peace officers. Our efforts to safely house and rehabilitate inmates along with our additional mission objectives to minimize crime in our prisons and communities most often go unheralded. We shall continue our efforts each day regardless of the circumstances. Ches H. Fry Antioch

Women: buy your own pills Editor: This is in response to Katya Holon’s letter to the editor published March 23. If you choose to work for a Catholic institution, or go to a Catholic school, you should know of the Church’s position on certain things, including birth control, beforehand. If you do not, then shame on you for not doing your homework. Arguing that once you have accepted a job, or been accepted by a school, you should be able to insist that they cover any medical condition you dictate is ridiculous. Every employer in this country offers options for health insurance for its employees. In most cases, you do not have the luxury of picking your own insurance and then bringing it to them for approval. You choose from those options they give you. Why should it be any different for the Catholic Church? They are not required to offer you everything you want, and if it goes against their moral teachings to offer

birth control, then they have the right to deny you that coverage. Also, the whole argument that women are being denied the right to get birth control is a false argument. Every woman in this country has the ability to get birth control if she wants it. If you cannot afford to buy it, you can go to Planned Parenthood or any county clinic and get it for free. Ms. Holon’s statement that Mr. Horan might be implying that everyone has to abide by the dictates of the Catholic Church is again misleading. The Church is simply saying that based on its moral tenets, it does not choose to provide birth control because by doing so it would be going against the core of its belief system. It’s true that many Catholic women choose to use birth control regardless of what the Church says. However, because the Church won’t provide it for them does not mean that they are harmed in any way. Birth control is available to any woman who wants it or needs it for medical reasons. There is no war on women, and even if there were, why do so many of you cry foul instead of standing up and showing your strength? When did so many of you become these weak, helpless, dependent crybabies? I remember when the women’s movement first began in the late ’60s, early ’70s, and it was all about empowerment and selfreliance. As Helen Reddy said, “I can do anything.” Whatever happened to that spirit? Instead of crying in your $3 lattes, for heaven’s sake (no pun intended) use that money to buy your own pills and stop looking for everyone else to take care of you. Be strong!

Antioch athletes aiming Down Under by Justin Lafferty Staff Writer Two Antioch football players are trying to raise money for a trip of a lifetime – to Australia. Panthers linemen Nic Reyes and Tory Ramirez, both seniors, have been invited to compete in the Down Under Games in July, when athletes from America compete against the gridiron stars of Australia and New Zealand. If Reyes and Ramirez can go, they’ll represent Northern California. Ramirez was a first-team all-Bay Valley Athletic League selection on both offense and defense. Reyes earned second-team all-league honors for the Panthers, who enjoyed one of their best seasons in recent memory. “It’s a really big honor to just be noticed by that kind of program,” Reyes said. “It would mean a lot, just to be able to experience the whole Australian lifestyle and meet new people from all over the world.” Down Under Sports organizes the games. The company also holds competitions for basketball, cheer and dance, cross country, track and field, volleyball and wrestling. The trip includes more than just foot-

ball games. Athletes get a week in Australia to play, tour Sydney, observe Australian wildlife and participate in combine-style activities. For a little more money, players get to stop in Hawaii after the tournament for a three-day retreat. The entire package costs about $4,000 and covers airfare, a hotel room, ground transportation, tourist attractions, uniforms and food. “This is my whole goal right now,” Ramirez said. “Every possible day, I’ve been going out to businesses.” Ramirez and Reyes have been asking relatives and friends for donations, as well as going door-to-door for money. Ramirez said he was sitting in class one day when a teacher gave him a letter. Upon opening it, he found his invitation to the Down Under Games, and it has been on his mind ever since. The teammates made a pact to each other that they’d find a way to go and close out their senior year with some fanfare. The trip also has special meaning for Ramirez, as it will be the first time he’s left the country. “All day, I couldn’t stop thinking about what it would be like to experience that,” he said.

Young Lions jell on golf course by Michael Dixon Correspondent

Photo by Richard Wisdom

Liberty junior Garrett Murayama watches a shot arc toward the green during a recent BVAL match with Pittsburg.

At the beginning of Liberty’s golf season, second-year head coach Bryan Beaver knew he had his work cut out for him following the departure of 2011 first-team all-league athlete Paul Krey. What he didn’t know is that some inexperienced players were going to make an immediate impact on the team. Newcomers such as freshman Jacob Hernandez, sophomore Joe Castle and senior Nick Vargas have made the transition much smoother. Now, Beaver and some of the team’s more experienced players see great things in their future. “They’ve blown my expectations right out of the water,” said junior Alex Miller. “Coming in, I didn’t know half of the teammates or what kind of players they were, but they’ve done really well. I love having them as teammates.” Such enthusiasm is based partly on the balance achieved in this season’s roster. In past years, the Lions’ success was dependent on seniors such as Krey and other top players. Although some of those players are gone (junior Garrett Murayama – a first-team all-leaguer last season – remains), the lineup is solid from top to bottom. “We’re more well rounded,” said senior Austin Kaiser. “We’re all good friends and play

very well together.” Ironically, this year’s positive experiences have come in tough losses and tournaments against good teams on top courses. The Lions took their lumps in those events, but Beaver believes those experiences have helped and will continue to help the team when it plays on layouts close to home. “We’ve learned from our experiences this year,” Beaver said. “We’ve played good teams on tough courses in wicked conditions, but that’s helped us now as we’ve gotten back to some of the local courses that we’re more familiar with.” Hernandez agrees. Although only a freshman and not accustomed to competitive golf, he believes he and the team’s other underclassmen have matured. “Everyone here has potential and we’ve gotten a lot more solid,” Hernandez said. “We’re just getting used to more competitive environments and focusing. That will help us come through with everything.” Those experiences have helped the team in other tournaments. On Monday, the Lions played a tournament at Stevenson in the Central Valley and earned a respectable seventhplace finish. Another notable performance there was that of Heritage, which won the whole thing. see Young page 16A

Eighteen years ago, Antioch resident Julie Mason founded a non-competitive youth sports program in East County not knowing if it would succeed. Biddy Sports has since become a popular option for children to participate in sports activities, serving more than 7,000 kids, including Brentwood residents since 1998. The programs allow 3-to-6-year-olds to learn the fundamentals of team sports at their own pace while playing basketball, T-ball, outdoor and indoor soccer or flag tag (football) in a stress-free environment. “It’s an all-inclusive, very safe and fun way for children to get into organized sports while learning life skills they’ll need later in life,” Mason said. “For example, taking turns and sportsmanship.” Basketball, T-ball, outdoor and indoor soccer and flag tag programs are offered in Brentwood; a basketball and T-ball are offered in Oakley. Mason hopes to start a T-ball program in Bay Point and expand the options in Oakley. The soccer and T-ball programs are designed for 3-to-5 year-olds while basketball and flag tag programs are tailored to 4-to-6year-olds. Ruben Estrada, whose child has participated in Biddy basketball, feels the program provides a nice introduction to team sports. “(Mason) runs a good program for little peo-

ings consist of a warm-up, practice and short game guided by trained referees and coaches following lesson plans and drills. Parents are required to stay for the duration of the activities and encouraged to volunteer to referee or coach. According to Josh La Rue, who has enjoyed coaching his son on various teams, his son gained valuable life skills in the programs. “It helps the kids build social skills because they’re with the other kids,” La Rue said. “The first time in the program, my son just participated, but I really enjoyed the program, so I’ve been coaching for about two years now.” Between 2003 and 2007, each league averaged around 240 players, a number that has declined to a current 40. “The economy has been tough on everyone,” said Mason. “But hopefully people will continue to spend money on their preschoolers. My ultimate goal would be to have preschoolers across the country running around and playing sports in a safe environment.” A scholarship program for families in need of financial assistance is available for Brentwood residents. The only Biddy Sports Program offered right now is the T-ball program in Oakley. To register, call 925-625-7041 or visit the Oakley Recreation Department offices at 3231 Main St. by April 5.

“Your Retirement… Simplified” YOUR BI-WEEKLY UPDATE FOR RETIREMENT PREPARATION

I have been focusing my articles on Reverse Mortgages because of the beneﬁts to those 62+, but too many people have been left out in the dark regarding a VERY important mortgage program. So, this week I’m providing a strategy tip for seniors as well as an update on this great program…

Strategy for Utilizing the Purchase Reverse Mortgage to generate more income for your retirement years. If you’re a homeowner that’s 62 or older, have a small mortgage balance or paid off home, and have 200k+ currently invested or in banking accounts (earning anywhere from 1% to 5% per month), then I can show you a way to more than triple the monthly income generated.. That’s right, if you currently have $200,000 in a money market account making $300 per month, I can show you a very simple way to acquire the perfect retirement home and turn that $300/ month into $1800+/ month! With interest rates at historic lows, home prices at historic lows, now is a great time for you to take advantage of this great income generating opportunity. This topic requires more detail and an in person consultation, please call me, Nathan to set up your free consultation at my Brentwood ofﬁce, 925-623-1019.

HARP 2.0 (Home Affordable Refinance Program) The new program enhancements (late 2011, now in effect), address several other key aspects of HARP including: • Eliminating certain risk-based fees for borrowers who refinance into shorter-term mortgages and lowering fees for other borrowers; • Removing the current 125 percent LTV ceiling for fixed-rate mortgages backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; There is NO limit/ceiling on the LTV, meaning that your home value doesn’t matter! • Eliminating the need for a new property appraisal where there is a reliable AVM (automated valuation model) estimate provided by the Enterprises; and • Extending the end date for HARP until Dec. 31, 2013 for loans originally sold to the Enterprises on or before May 31, 2009. A Few Prequalifiers: You must be current on your existing loan and not have had a late payment in the past 6 months. The existing loan must have been bought by FNMA no later than June 1st, 2009. The loan must be owned by FNMA or Freddie Mac (call me). And it’s worth mentioning that if it’s now a rental property, you aren’t necessarily disqualified, and as of this month, the amount of equity you have in your home doesn’t matter with the HARP Program. The first step is for the borrower to learn if his or her mortgage is owned or guaranteed by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae by calling Nathan at: 925-623-1019

County seeks grand jurors The Contra Costa County Superior Court is accepting applications for Civil Grand Jury service for the fiscal year 201213 term. The Civil Grand Jury is made up of 19 members, who serve for one year, July through June, to monitor, review and report on city and county governments, special districts and school districts. “Grand Juries are the citizen watchdogs of civic functions,” says current Grand Jury Foreperson Lloyd Bell. “All county citizens have the authority to call the juries’ attention to issues within their governmental agencies that they think should be reviewed.” Every effort is made to ensure that the Grand Jury reflects the makeup of the residents of the county. Approximately 60 applicants are selected to be interviewed by the Grand Jury Selection Committee, which is composed of Superior Court judges. Following interviews, the judges nominate approximately 30 applicants to constitute a grand jury pool from which the final panel of 19 is selected by random drawing. Those selected for service must be available during the last two weeks of June to

They cannot currently hold any elected position within the county. Applicants must have reliable transportation to Martinez and be prepared to devote at least 20 hours per week to Civil Grand Jury service. Prospective jurors should apply only if they can be released from their jobs to perform the jury duties. The 30 nominees will be fingerprinted before the drawing. Jurors receive a stipend for attending full jury and committee meetings and are reimbursed for allowable jury travel. Martinez parking permits are provided for jurors performing Grand Jury duties. The application deadline is Friday, April 13. To apply or receive additional information, call the Office of the Civil Grand Jury at 925-957-5638 or visit www. cc-courts.org/grandjury.

Schools from page 1A to help support these kinds of programs. I think we all feel how important it is and how much it means to everyone. It’s just good karma.” Principals from all three schools intend to use the windfall to help fund the annual Odyssey of the Mind competitions: a creative, problem-solving challenge for students in grades K through college. This year the district fielded six teams for the event, and Discovery Bay Elementary made it to the state competition level. “This is fantastic,” said Timber Point Elementary Principal Brian Burnight when he learned of the Chamber’s donation. “Thank you to fellow chamber members for being so very supportive of our

Benefit from page 1A volunteers who helped put it on. Another 50 individuals and businesses made donations or provided raffle prizes. “Willie has served the community for 20-plus years, and we’re taking one night to honor him and his family,” said Helmick. “We want him to know we stand by him as he and his family go through this trial. We’ll be here for the long run – this evening is just a small token.” The event raised more than $14,000 to help offset some of West’s medical expenses and put toward his daughter’s education. More than $2,000 of the total was raised by ECCFPD Director Bob Kinney – also known on Bethel Island as Santa Claus – who raffled off the right to shave his snowy-white whiskers at $5 per ticket. Beautician Dana Pedrotti of Eyeland Beauty got the honors of removing Kenny’s beard. “My kids sit on his lap every Christmas, so I’m sad to see (the beard) go,” said Pedrotti, adding that she left the little ones home last weekend to avoid potential trauma. “Some of them still believe, so I didn’t bring them. I don’t want them to see this.” (Kenny assured everyone that the beard would be back in time for the holidays.) West’s colleagues presented him with a fire axe mounted on an oak plaque inscribed with his fire engineer’s badge. In addition to a challenge coin from the Warriors Watch and a number of standing ovations, West also got a handshake from Oakland Raiders great Art Thoms, who conducted a silent auction of sports memorabilia that helped increase the total. Between sets by longtime local favorite band InsideOutside and local singer/songwriter Lauren Atlas, attendees enjoyed the company of friends and neighbors united for a common cause. “This is the way they used to do things,” said resident Clyde Allen. “People just being good to each other. Nowadays, people want to join in, but they’re on Highway 4 and don’t have the time. It’s heartwarming that so many could make it tonight.”

students … It’s great to be a part of such a caring community, both as a resident and principal.” With the support of the chamber and community behind the schools, Sprenkel believes programs such as Odyssey of the Mind can continue to be offered as part of an ongoing enrichment program. “Having these kinds of extracurricular options for the kids is really nice … I love it when the Chamber gets involved in the schools, because for me, it really completes the community circle.” Discovery Bay Elementary Principal Danielle Storey echoed Sprenkel’s sentiments: “Thank you for supporting us – it means so much.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Fire Chief Hugh Henderson told the gathering that when the idea for a West fundraiser first came up, the expectations were set low. “We thought 40 or 50 people would come,” Henderson said. “Well, over 400 tickets have been sold. Willie is one of those guys who quietly got his work done and never really asked for a lot. It means a lot to be able to help someone like that.” And while the event will assist West and his family with some much-needed cash, it also benefited those who put it on by countering stress over their colleague’s illness and the ECCFPD’s current funding woes. “This gives them a way to collect that energy and get

it focused into something good for a brother firefighter instead of dwelling on both his illness and the district’s troubles,” Henderson said. Escorted to the stage by an honor guard, West made his way past the hundreds of applauding people, which included dozens of firefighters called to the front of the room for a special salute. “I’m overwhelmed,” said West, his voice choked with emotion. “This really is a brotherhood, all right.” As for his health, West said he’s still fully engaged in his struggle against the disease. “I’m in pain, but I’m fighting it,” he said.

BVAL from page 3B Paul Blackburn, Heritage Named league MVP as a junior last season, Blackburn went 8-3 with a 1.27 earned run average and 84 strikeouts. The Arizona State-bound senior has impressed in his first four appearances this season – one of which was a complete-game shutout of Miramonte, where he fanned 11 Matadors. Ricky Delgado, Deer Valley Delgado, who has earned a scholarship to Cal State Fullerton, has an ace’s frame – 6 feet 2 inches, 215 pounds – and the power arm to back it up. He went 5-2 last season and led the Wolverines in strikeouts with 58. In his first three games this year, Delgado has already racked up 20 K’s in 16.2 innings. Shelbi Graifman, Antioch Graifman, a sophomore, earned second-team all-BVAL honors last season as a centerfielder. Now that Paris Imholz is at Bowling Green State, the Panthers will look to Graifman to provide leadership in the circle. She earned the decision in Antioch’s first win of the season, a 10-2 victory over Las Lomas. Joe Navilhon, Freedom Next year, Navilhon will join Delgado as a Titan teammate, but they remain rivals for now. Navilhon led Freedom as a junior with a 1.80 ERA and 52 strikeouts. He’ll be the Falcons’ No. 1 pitcher this year and contribute timely hitting as an infielder when he’s not on the mound. Lisa Rodrigues, Heritage Rodrigues was an essential component of the Patriots’ quest to unseat Freedom as league champs last season, and she was rewarded with a scholarship to New Mexico. She fanned 162 batters in 125 innings, holding hitters to a .177 average. Rodrigues started this year with three wins and 29 strikeouts. Tyler Vistalli, Deer Valley Vistalli, Delgado and senior Jacob Peters give the Wolverines one of the best pitching staffs in the North Coast Section. Vistalli earned a spot in the rotation last season as a sophomore, accruing a scant 1.77 ERA and striking out 46 batsmen while walking only 15. Now a junior, he’s thrown 15 strikeouts in his first 13.2 innings. Madison Williams, Freedom The youngest in the proud Williams family pitching tree for the perpetual BVAL champ Falcons, Madison showed last season that she’s one the league’s elite pitchers. Last season, she whiffed 199 batters, walking only 35 and amassing nine shutouts. Williams has kept the opposing score side blank in her first two outings this season. Stevan Zaharias, Liberty Zaharias will provide the Lions senior leadership on the mound this year. Though he didn’t pitch much in 2011, manager Seth Wheelock believes Zaharias has the stuff to lead Liberty’s pitching staff this year. Zaharias started the Lions’ first win of the season, over Bear Creek, and struck out four. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Outspoken from page 4B “It just feels like if he wasn’t here with me, I wouldn’t be out here too,” Martinez said. “I would be not trying to work as hard and be as good as him. He’s always out there giving his 100 percent.” Manci lets his bat do some talking, too. Last season, he earned first-team allBay Valley Athletic League honors after batting a team-best .403. He also led the Wolverines in basepath larceny, racking up 16 steals. Manci is off to a fine start this season. In Deer Valley’s first seven games, in which the team went 6-1, Manci is batting at a .292 clip and has swiped

four bases. Manager Dennis Luquet feels that the left side of the inﬁeld, comprising Manci and Lanter, can be one of the best in the league. While at times Luquet needs to cool Manci off, he believes the senior is an integral part of the team. “Intensity, I guess, is the numberone word you’d have to use with him,” Luquet said. “He wants to do well and he wants the other guys to do well. … He’s probably one of the best third basemen we’ve had at Deer Valley.” It’s not hard to ﬁnd where Manci gets his competitive spirit. Growing up in a house with two big brothers – Justin and Joe – who both play sports usually

leads to healthy sibling rivalry. Joe played golf for Deer Valley, while Justin is a third baseman for the Cal State Stanislaus baseball team. Joshua is hoping to continue playing baseball collegiately, like Justin did, either at Diablo Valley College or for Stanislaus, where he plans to study criminal justice. After he’s done on the diamond, Manci wants to become a police officer or firefighter. “I watched my brothers do good, and I always wanted to do better than them,” Manci said. “Everything’s a competition.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Shipman (catcher) should provide crucial leadership as team captains. Deer Valley also returns junior infielder Alyssa Slate, an allBVAL honorable mention last season. Freshman Rachel Jones and senior Paige Chalifoux, also a team captain, have split time in the circle. Pittsburg Third-year head coach Warren Nelson believes his young Pirates squad could become one of the better BVAL teams – if not this season, then next. Pittsburg fields talented athletes in junior center fielder Lanae Rivers, junior third baseman Sandra Tadilla, sophomore shortstop Sabryna Cruz and junior catcher Selena Townsend. The Pirates will also rely on a transfer from Freedom, junior pitcher Maliyah Stamps, and sophomore second baseman Katarina Tekari. “We’re young,” Nelson said. “But we’re a very competitive team.” Liberty First-year head coach Stacie Del Chiaro takes over a Liberty team focused on improvement. The Lions won just one league game last season – over Pittsburg – a record they hope to change. Liberty will rely on the talents of athletes such as juniors Olive Paredes and Jocelyn Rector, both second-team all-league selections last season. Liberty opens BVAL play April 17 at Deer Valley.

EAST COUNTY HOMES WITH 100% FINANCING Even if you’re not a Veteran, the next best home loan that allows you to buy with no money down is the USDA LOAN. Here’s the catch… you have to buy in a rural area which means most every home in Discovery Bay, Bethel Island, parts of Oakley, and Knightsen may qualify. You can find the map on-line with a Google search of: USDA HOMES—USDA.GOV. Sellers can credit up to 6% and closing costs can be financed if the appraisal is greater than the purchase price. We’re not all Veterans, but if a program exists to help you buy with little or no down, you should use it. Other low-down loans use Down-Payment Assistance which allow 1% or less. Now That’s Logical!
