Board approves deal for fourth station by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer

The City of Brentwood will likely enter into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District (ECCFPD) to pay for a portion of the district’s fourth station over the next three years. In a 7-2 vote, the district board opted this week to team up with the City of Brentwood to keep the district’s fourth station open, after officials from the district and the city expressed reservations about the City of Oakley and Contra Costa County’s willingness to band together to keep the fourth station open, as has been done since July 2016. “I specifically asked them (the county and the City of Oakley) if they’d bring the idea back to their

by Dawnmarie Fehr In answer to a parent’s greatest fear – losing a child – Discovery Bay resident Anita Sarkissian has created an outreach program to streamline the search process between parents and police in the event of a missing child. Sarkissian and her company, New York Life Insurance, create CDs with vital information required by authorities should a child go missing. This information includes the basics like a recent photo and physical description, as well as fingerprints, nicknames, birthmarks, allergies and any known illnesses or medications. The CDs are then given to parents, who can hand them over to the proper authorities in an emer-

“ The option of a fourth station brings us an option of an additional resource, which is going to go away without additional funding.

”

Joel Bryant, fire board president, Brentwood city councilmember boards and champion the idea, but there was no affirmative response,” said ECCFPD Board Director Joe Young about recent meetings with officials from the county, fire district and cities of Brentwood and Oakley, in which they discussed the future of the fourth station. Since mid-2016, the district’s fourth station in Knightsen has been funded with a combined $2.2 million from the district, the cities of Brentwood and Oakley and the county. However, it will close

in June if additional funds aren’t procured. Under the proposed plan, which was moved forward by the board this week, the Knightsen station will close at the end of June and a second Brentwood station will open, in return for Brentwood’s pledge of $3 million over three years. The district will pay for the remaining $4.3 million needed to keep the station open during that period. “The option of a fourth sta-

tion brings us an option of an additional resource, which is going to go away without additional funding,” said Joel Bryant, fire board president and a Brentwood city councilmember. The deal appeared to materialize after Brentwood officials met twice with officials from Oakley, the county and the district and came away concerned the county and the City of Oakley were not in full support of a multijurisdictional funding approach. During the ad hoc meetings, a plan was proposed by Brentwood officials that called for the district to pay $4.2 million over three years, with Brentwood contributing $1.5 million, Oakley $946,000 and the county $600,000, to keep the Knightsen station open.

Shultz found guilty of first-degree murder Sanity phase of trial set for April 10 by Tony Kukulich Correspondent

It’s been nearly two years since Jordon Almgren was stabbed to death in his bed in the predawn hours of April 26, 2015. On Thursday, March 30, William Shultz, a close family friend of the Almgren’s, was found guilty of Jordon’s murder. A jury – comprised of seven women and five men – deliberated for approximately 45 minutes before finding Shultz guilty of first-degree murder with a charge enhancement for the personal use of a deadly weapon. He was also found guilty of first-degree burglary, a felony, with a charge enhancement related to an occupant being present at the time of burglary. This charge stems from Shultz’s theft of Evan Almgren’s car keys after the murder. Shultz showed little emotion as the verdict was read. The reaction from the gallery, filled with members of the Almgren family and a contingent of their supporters, was also subdued. Shultz’s mother, Katherine Shultz, burst into tears upon hearing the verdict and rushed from the courtroom. “Based on the evidence presented and the narrowness of the legal issue that they

William Shultz has been found guilty of first-degree murder in the 2015 stabbing death of 9-year-old Jordon Almgren. were to decide, this jury clearly saw that the evidence in support of premeditation and deliberation was extremely strong,” said prosecutor Simon O’Connell after the verdict was announced. A spokesperson for the Almgren family said they would not be making a statement until the end of the sanity phase of the hearing. O’Connell’s closing argument started proceedings on Thursday morning and lasted 45 minutes. During that time, he

summarized testimony from key witnesses and discussed the legal requirements for conviction of murder in the first degree. He also replayed portions of Shultz’s videotaped interrogation and displayed crime-scene photos, including one of the bed in which Jordon Almgren was attacked. With the guilt phase complete, the trial moves on to the sanity phase, during which, the same jury will determine if Shultz was insane at the time of the mur-

der. If he is found insane, the guilty verdict reached on Thursday will be negated, and he will instead be found not guilty by reason of insanity. If he is found sane, the guilty verdict will stand. On March 29, the last day of testimony, defense attorney Cynthia Scofield called a number of witnesses who treated Shultz after he arrived at the Kaiser Permanente Antioch Medical Center emergency room a few minutes before 6 a.m. on April 26, 2015. One emergency-room nurse described seeing a posting on a social-media site, identifying Shultz as a suspect in a murder that had taken place earlier that morning in Discovery Bay. Once she realized her patient was wanted in connection with the crime, she contacted the sheriff’s office, which then detained Shultz. Scofield also called Dr. Paul Good, a clinical and forensic psychologist who testified he spent 10 1/2 hours with Shultz over five separate sessions following his arrest. Good diagnosed Shultz as bipolar with psychotic features and said he was delusional with regard to his beliefs about the impending outbreak of World War III. In O’Connell’s closing argument, he emphasized that, while Good made this diagnosis, he also stated that Shultz’s cognitive function was not impaired. The sanity phase of the trial is scheduled to start on April 10 and is expected to last a week to ten days. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Why do You Need a Will? by Joan Grimes, Esq.

Photo by Tony Kukulich

Changing of the guard Retiring East Contra Costa Fire Protection District Chief Hugh Henderson, left, welcomes incoming Interim Fire Chief Brian Helmick during Henderson’s retirement party last week.

A will is a document that tells the world what you want done with you and your stuff after your death. If you die without one, it will be up to the state, through a probate proceeding, to decide who gets your stuff without regard to your wishes or the needs of your relatives. Also, it will be much more expensive for your relatives and they will get much less of your stuff (i.e. money) after everything is sold because the cost of probate is expensive!! If you are an adult without any real property, a simple will is probably all you need. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, but it should make clear your wishes for yourself and your stuff and meet the legal requirements for a will. If you are an adult with minor children, it is really important for you to have a will because that is the best way to transfer guardianship of minors. If you have real property, you will probably need a will and a trust. A trust is a legal document that lets you decide how specific assets will be distributed after your death, lets you minimize gift/estate taxes and avoids probate costs which can be easily between 4-6% of the gross fair market value of your estate. What this means is that a house which has a fair market value of $1 million dollars can cost between $40,000-$60,000 to probate whereas if the same property was in a trust, there would be no cost to the beneficiaries except trust administration which is significantly less. A will is still necessary because most trusts only deal with specific property and not the total of your assets. The will done with a trust is usually what is called a “pour over will.” The pour over will, in addition to performing standard functions including naming the guardian of children, puts

BEST NEW HOME VALUE IN THE EAST BAY

all assets you designate to the trust in place even when the assets are omitted, there are new assets or the assets were not titled into the name of the trust. The most common assets, which are not part of a will or trust, are life insurance policies and IRA/401k/Pension accounts, which will be transferred automatically to your named beneficiaries upon death. Therefore, it is VERY important that you check your beneficiary statements on life insurance and IRA/401k/ Pension accounts from time to time to make sure they are correct. There is a common belief that getting a will or trust done is very expensive. This is simply not true for the vast majority of people. In most circumstances, a simple will or a will & trust will be all that is necessary. The cost is usually between $300-$2,500 depending on the work needed. Most attorneys allow you to pay over time and will administer changes to a will or trust on an hourly basis. In addition, most attorneys will review an existing will to make sure it conforms to current law. If you do not have a will or will/trust, you should make it a priority. I see people for a free 30 minute consultation in Walnut Creek and Brentwood to discuss what type of estate planning is needed for your particular situation. An estate plan does not need to be difficult or costly. THIS ARTICLE PROVIDES ONLY GENERAL LEGAL INFORMATION AND NOT SPECIFIC LEGAL ADVICE.

Farmers, community get ready for U-pick season by Brenna Enos Correspondent

After a long rainy winter, trees are finally in bloom and the fields are beginning to sprout with life, marking the beginning of the annual U-pick season. A popular U-pick choice for many visitors, Brentwood cherry farms have only a few more weeks before opening their locations to the public. Many farmers, including Joe Ghiggeri of G & S Farms, are optimistic for this upcoming season. After several years of drought, the past wet winter provided a much-needed relief for many area farmers. While the torrential rains left some minor damages throughout the suburbia of Brentwood, the rural area has felt its benefits, and farmers like Ghiggeri can see the rains effects firsthand. “From this year to last year, I see a lot of difference,” said Ghiggeri. “For me, when my trees were blooming, the rain came afterward, so it’s worked out pretty well this year so far.” Lori Sahabria of Chaves U-Pick Cherries agreed. “The timing of the rain was much better this year for the crops,” she said. While the rain has been a benefit to the cherries thus far, the mild spring weather has also added to the success. “Last year, it was so hot the weather affected my trees, because once it gets above 70 to 80 degrees, the bees don’t want to work as hard,” said Ghiggeri. “This year, it’s been a little cooler, so I’ve seen more active bees. So far, my earlier orchard looks better than last year, but I have another orchard I don’t think looks as good as last year, so we’ll just have to wait and see.” For those who cannot wait until the season be-

CAN APPRAISAL BE CHALLENGED?

by Tony Kukulich Correspondent

Feature: Chris Smith

Agency: ECCFPD - Engine 59 Like many firefighters, Chris Smith comes from a family of firefighters – his father volunteered for the Ripon Fire Department for more than 40 years. “That’s how I got the fire bug in me,” he said. “My mom’s grandfather was also a volunteer in Ripon, though he retired long before I ever knew what was going on.” Smith grew up in rural Ripon, where his family raised sheep, and he was an active athlete in high school where he played football, basketball and ran track. While his dad volunteered as a firefighter, Smith didn’t consider a career in the fire service until he was in college. “I didn’t give it much thought in high school,” he said. “I was too busy playing football and having a good time.” However, growing up listening to his dad’s stories left a mark on Smith. In college, he volunteered for the Ripon Fire Department, like his father and greatgrandfather, and studied for his firefighter certification. A friend was hired by the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District and suggested he should apply as well. By June 2005, Smith was working for the district, too.

These days, Smith and his wife live in Ripon with their two young daughters. They also enjoy camping and riding ATVs. He’s currently building a fence around their property and can see a day when there might be a cow and maybe a couple of sheep in the yard. “My wife and I were both raised in the agriculture business,” he said. “We both showed (livestock) in county fairs and state fairs. That’s the kind of thing that we want to pass on to our girls.” Reflecting on his twelve years with the district, Smith says, “I enjoy the public. For the most part, we’re loved around here. I enjoy the uniqueness of the job, and I enjoy going out and having a different experience every day. People will describe this as the greatest job in the world; I fully agree with that.”

Prices are up. This is making the appraiser’s job more difficult, due to some rules put in place after the mortgage debacle of a decade ago. We are seeing some appraisal values come in less than the agreedupon purchase price. If the contract has an appraisal contingency – and the seller won’t come down and buyer won’t come up – this can be a deal-killer. Appraising a property is not an exact science. There are ‘rules’ to follow, but appraisers also have some broad latitude in how the appraisal is done, based on their judgement. Let’s say the subject property is a regular sale with no pool, and the last sold of that floor plan was a short sale with a pool. Whether or not that sold is used is up to the individual appraiser based on all the other factors. Sometimes, the price just gets bid up over what any reasonable appraiser can justify by following the standard appraisal rules. Let’s say there are three very recent solds nearby of the same floor plan, all with

similar levels of upgrades, and they all sold for around $550,000, but the subject property is in contract for $650,000. There isn’t much to be done in this case, other than further negotiations between buyer and seller. In other cases, there are obvious errors. Maybe the appraiser put down that the property has a two-car garage, when really it’s a three-car garage. In this case, it’s fairly easy to provide proof of the error and ask the report be recalculated with the correct facts. Then there are cases where there may not be obvious errors, but just differences of opinion for what comparable properties were used, what adjustments were made between the properties and whether adjustments were made for market trends. Next week, I’ll discuss how to handle this third situation. If you have questions on this or any other real-estate topic, call me at 925-240MOVE (6683). #1 for Brentwood listings sold multiple years.

Joe Ovick, former superintendent dies Former Superintendent of Schools, Joseph A. Ovick, Ed.D., died unexpectedly in the early morning hours of March 30. Ovick, an educator for 45 years, served as the Contra Costa County Superintendent of Schools from 1996 to 2014. He began his career as a special-education teacher in Santa Clara County and followed by serving in the county as a public school assistant principal, principal and director of special education. He later joined the Contra Costa County Office of Education (CCCOE), where he worked as director of special education, assistant superintendent for student services and associate superintendent for business. In 1996, he began his service as the elected county superintendent of schools. He was well known for developing strong coalitions of educators, community members and legislators in support of public schools, while always making it a point to visit countless classrooms throughout the county. “Dr. Ovick was a true champion of students and schools during his 45 years as an educator,” said Contra Costa County Superintendent of Schools Karen Sakata. “He was a wonderful friend and mentor to me, beginning back in our early days working in Santa Clara County. This is truly a sad day for our agency, our county and the education community.” Ovick taught at Chapman University’s Graduate School of Education and San Jose State University for a number of years, with a curriculum emphasis on school law, finance and leadership. Besides holding many leadership roles in statewide and local education organizations and commissions, Ovick served on the board of directors for the East Bay Leadership Council and the Contra Costa County Children and Families Policy Forum. In 2012, he served as president of the California County Superintendents Educational Services Association, where he continued to serve on its executive board after his retirement. In addition, he was the former chair of the Bay Area Leadership Foundation; the Federal Policy and Legislation Committee for the Council of Administrators for Special Education; former vice-chair of

the Federal Advocacy for California Education; past president of Association of California School Administrators, Region 6; and former chair of the Bay Area Region Superintendents Association. In 2005, Ovick was awarded the President’s Circle Award for outstanding service to education and the community from the Diablo Valley College Foundation, as well as the Government Service Award in recognition of outstanding community service from Congressman George Miller. In 2008, the East Bay Leadership Foundation named him Citizen of the Year, East Bay Awards. In 2006, he won the Association of California School Administrators (ACSA), Region 6, Superintendent of the Year Award, and in 2010, he earned the ACSA, Region 6, Ferd Kiesel Memorial Distinguished Service Award. Additionally, in 2008, the CCCOE unanimously voted to honor Ovick by dedicating CCCOE’s community school in Brentwood as the Joseph A. Ovick School. The board said the dedication was made because he was a longtime advocate for the addressing the needs of all students – especially those most at risk and with special needs. Community service was also an important part of Ovick’s life. He was an active member of the Pleasant Hill Rotary Club and served as a member on both the local Boys & Girls Clubs and Junior Achievement USA. He leaves behind a rich legacy of leadership and advocacy on behalf of children and families.

Either way, it’s a nice mixture of news and human-interest stories, and I am pretty sure most Senior people like Jane Pauli, orner who recently replaced the retired Charles Osgood. Unlike Osgood, she does not wear bow ties, but she’s just pleasant and perky enough, without being too over the top. Marla This past Sunday, Luckhardt Moe Rocca did a humorous piece about phone booths. For most of my readers, this is not a head scratcher, but Rocca did encounter several young people who had no clue what the term ‘phone booth’ meant. As he stopped people and offered a quarter for a chance to call someone, a few participated, but many looked at him, pointed to their cellphones and walked away. Did they not feel like having a Clark Kent moment? Growing up in New York and working in Manhattan, I can recall a phone booth on every corner. Now, there are only a handful left, and they are probably doomed as well. I started thinking of other things in my childhood that have gone the way of the

dodo bird in the extinct category. Changing television carriers last week for Mom made me recall of our free, aluminum-foiled, rabbit-eared, one-knob channel changing, black and white console television. Sure, I had to get up and change to one of five available channels, but it was free! The confusion of the new remote control was mind-boggling for me, so I can empathize with Mom’s frustration. There are more tiny buttons than on a computer, and although I suppose it’s nice to have a million options, she really only watches four or five favorite channels. Having a cell phone with an excellent camera makes my job as family photographer pretty easy and, in some cases, a little annoying. The kids try to run and hide, since they all know Grandma will have the pictures on Facebook in minutes. However, I do miss my Pentax with the super-duper lens and trendy carrying case. You had to put film in and then bring the roll to a little yellow kiosk to get developed, but it had a great feel to it, and it never rang or vibrated in the middle of a great Kodak moment. Actual pieces of paper you could hold in your hand, share with others and then put in albums that remain in boxes in the garage could never be replaced by a tiny screen that I personally need double reading glasses to see. I also never had ears, a doggie nose or crazy bulging eyes like they do with Snapchat or whatever that is. When I write my stories each week, I start up my computer and research my

information. It’s a journey, but I rarely get stuck anymore and have to yell for Grandpa if I get into the technical ozone. There are no pieces of carbon or regular typing paper to roll into the machine, and I can change anything I want with a click of the mouse, never having to open a tiny bottle of white out. I miss the nostalgic feel of a regular typewriter. When they replaced the manual ones with electric models, I thought it was a modern miracle. I can still hear my typing class teacher repetitiously droning “j – j – j – j – j – f – f – f – f,” as we pounded those same two keys for 42 minutes. To this day, I think they are the only two keys I can hit without looking at the letters. She reminds me of the teacher in the movie “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” who droned “Bueller, Bueller, Bueller” over and over at roll call. During my entire childhood, my grandfather owned a small but successful stationery store in New York. The crowded aisles were jammed with everything from paper products to greeting cards and every

kind of pen and pencil you could imagine. The colorful magic markers and flair pens were always a favorite of mine, and when September came around, we grandkids were able to go to ‘Poppy’s store’ to get our school supplies. We got a bag to fill with necessary items to start classes, but we were never allowed to take the gold-plated fountain pens. They were locked behind glass, and at around $15 to $18 a set, they were off limits except to paying customers. The original pens came with a one-time ink supply that had to be replaced with use. They wrote so beautifully, and I remember my grandfather always using his to write with. Every time I saw him sign his name, I thought he must have been one of the men who signed the Declaration of Independence. His pen was that cool! We no longer have a need for ink-fill pens, and most people today don’t even bother with ballpoints either. Texting and email has replaced a lot of the handwritten word, but I am happy to say I have Poppy’s pen with its matching pencil, which are my treasured memories. I also must confess that since I always got my pens for free, I have a purse filled with ones that advertise local businesses. Old habits die hard!

Family Matters

by Silky Sahnan, esq. The Rules for Social Media During Divorce Many people have become accustomed to posting updates about their life on social media. However, when going through a divorce, you’ll want to keep the details of your life private. Posting information about how your partner wronged you – or anything else related to your divorce – may have severe repercussions when you return to the courtroom. Some experts recommend deleting your social media profiles until your divorce proceeding is complete, so if you choose to maintain a presence on any social sites, it will be important to abide by the following guidelines. Don’t share anything negative. Regardless of how angry you feel or how much you’d like to get your friends on board with snubbing your ex, resist the urge to post anything negative about them, because it can work against you in the courtroom. Keep the details of your legal proceeding offline. Opinions about the judge or attorneys involved in your case will always find their way back to your spouse’s legal representative. Remember, legal professionals are human and

will not respond favorably to criticism. Keep your private life private. Whether it’s a well-meaning friend tagging you in a photo during a night out or a post about a sexy, new fling, these types of posts about social activities may work against you in a divorce proceeding. When children are involved, your behavior may be scrutinized to determine who is the more suitable parent. Avoid the temptation to spy on your ex. When you are serious about moving on, resist the urge to check up on your ex online. Doing so is highly likely to stir up unpleasant emotions that interfere with creating a new life. Instead of utilizing social media as an outlet, take advantage of the opportunity to get involved in a new activity that you love – you’ll be making a positive decision that also promotes your well being. If you or a loved one is in need of a fresh start in 2017, our legal team is here for you.

Getting cold to keep peak fitness levels by Heather Brewer Staff Writer

While most people avoid cold temperatures, there’s a new business in Brentwood that is turning down the thermostat and speeding up the recovery process for athletes and those with inflammation, muscle soreness and pain. Cryotherapy is becoming more and more popular in sports training and fitness, and Performance Cryotherapy is leading the charge. Offering the Impact Whole Body Cryosauna, nitrogen vapor is used to drop the chamber temperature to a range of -130 to -184 degrees Fahrenheit. This quick chill is reported to cause an ‘evolutionary bio-response’ to the extreme cold, which promotes natural healing and a speedy recovery processes. Owners Bekah and Marcos Sanchez fell in love with cryotherapy the first time they tried it, and the benefits they experienced inspired them to bring the technology to Brentwood, where they have lived since they were children. “Cryotherapy is reported to decrease injury recovery time, muscle soreness, pain, inflammation and fatigue from sports activities; increase natural energy; and allow a faster overall return to sports training,” said Bekah, who has a history in physical fitness and competition. “We used one in Concord, but it was really expensive and such a drive that we knew we had to bring it closer to home.” Whole-body cryotherapy originated in Japan in 1978. It has been used for decades to promote natural healing and wellness with the use of extremely cold temperatures. Today, the therapy is used to refresh and rejuvenate the body in as little as one to three minutes,

which means users can experience the array of benefits from this modern cold technology in just minutes. “I am in Ironman Triathlon training right now, and I used to do ice baths to help with my recovery, but I could only do it once a week,” said Robin Roberts, a Brentwood resident. “This week, I ran 21 miles and biked 30 miles. With cryotherapy, I can come three or four times a week, which is so helpful. I prefer this treatment to ice baths, because past a certain point, an ice bath can hurt and cause trouble breathing.” According to the business’ website, compared to an ice bath, cryotherapy treatments result in a very different response from the body. The three minutes of extreme, dry cold reaches only the top skin layers and receptors by 30 to 50 degrees, causing the brain to restrict blood flow to an internal cycle. This causes the body to release anti-inflammatory proteins and endorphins, resulting in oxygenated blood. In an ice bath, 15 minutes of cold water causes the body to move blood to the extremities and results in a lowered core body temperature. “Most people don’t know what cryotherapy is at first, but they get excited when they learn how it works and what it can do,” said Bekah. “Everyone who has tried it here seems to have gotten relief. It’s really rewarding to get to know our clients and know they feel better when they leave than they did when they came in.” Currently, the the owners are offering $20 sessions or a 12-session package for $220 until the end of the month. They are located at 1120 2nd Street, Suite A, in Brentwood. For more information, call 925-390-8632 or visit www.performcryo.com or www.facebook.com/ performancecryotherapy.

To treat old stains, sprinkle baking soda on the affected areas and allow it to sit overnight. Then spray the areas with white vinegar and let the two substances bubble to clean the area. Baking soda and vinegar can be an effective, homemade cleaning mixture, if accidents are a frequent occurrence. Alternately, pet owners can purchase commercially produced enzymatic cleaners. Enzymes are proteins that help spark natural chemical reactions at the molecular level, and the enzymes in pet carpet-care products attach themselves to the molecules that make up the urine and bacteria that feed on it (producing the foul odors), serving as a catalyst for their breakdown. Stains from feces may take some more effort. Try to remove as much as possible without pushing the stain further into the carpet fibers. Use a stain-removal product to help lift out the stain. This may take a few applications. Pet owners also may want to invest in carpet cleaners if accidents continue throughout training periods. If urine has seeped into the floorboards or padding under the carpeting, carpeting may need to be replaced, particularly if the animal repeatedly visits the same spot to urinate. - Courtesy Metro Creative

Pet owners sometimes must contend with stains and odors. Some of these stains may be normal, while others might result from accidents. Individuals may experience a trial-anderror period, as new pets become acclimated to litter boxes or grow accustomed to relieving themselves outdoors. Pet owners must remain patient as young animals learn where and where not to relieve themselves. Pets that are already trained may also suffer accidents as they grow older. According to PetMD, urinary and fecal incontinence can afflict dogs of any age, but is most often experienced by middleaged or senior dogs. Cats can also experience incontinence, which is most common in older cats and large cats, as age and size can make it challenging for cats to reach the litter box in time. Accidents can be troubling, as they often result in stains and smells. Treating these issues to prevent damage to flooring – and deter pets from thinking a particular area of the rug is their personal bathroom – requires patience and trial and error. Upon discovering an accident, pet owners should blot up as much of the liquid as possible. The carpet cleaning experts at Chem-Dry advise putting a few drops of dish detergent and a little water on the area and to absorb as much moisture as possible.

Thank You Brentwood Press! ”When Meals on Wheels and Senior Outreach Services determined the critical need to focus on recruitment of volunteers in East County to better serve the growing needs of seniors in that area, we turned to The Press. From start to finish, from administrative to editorial staff, The Press was easy to work with and extremely supportive toward building our media campaign. With a campaign focused on digital, social media and print, we promoted an information-sharing event in Antioch that netted us more response than anything else we have tried for the purpose of recruitment. Thanks to The Press, our event was a success - we’re making a dent in our need and establishing a presence in East County. The Press works!“ – Susannah Meyer, Volunteer Specialist Meals on Wheels and Senior Outreach Services

Dementia-inclusivity Seen in Athens bridges film, community Elder Care Alliance presents “Movie Moments at the Vogue,” an interactive film program in San Francisco for people affected by dementia, at San Francisco’s historic Vogue Theatre on Tuesday, May 23. “Movie Moments at the Vogue” is designed specifically for people living with dementia, as well as their family members, care partners, friends and neighbors. The program offers an expressive outlet and forum for dialogue through the viewing of iconic film clips. The free community event is a joint partnership with Elder Care Alliance, California Pacific Medical Center’s Ray Dolby Brain Health Center and the Alzheimer’s Association – Northern California and Northern Nevada Chapter. Also supporting the event are San Francisco Neighborhood Theater Foundation, Vogue Theatre and Creative Aging San Francisco. Moderating the event will be Sean Caulfield, a memory-care specialist with Elder Care Alliance, and Rachel Main, a family-support

coordinator with the Alzheimer’s Association. Additionally, volunteers will engage with audience members, prompting long-term memories and self-awareness through highlighted themes such as family, love, careers and Hollywood stars. Dr. Catherine Madison, director of CPMC’s Ray Dolby Brain Health Center, touched on the importance of music in regard to memory stimulation. “When people living with dementia engage with singing familiar songs of old movies, the music can enhance recall of autobiographical memory and reduce anxiety,” said Madison. “Movie Moments at the Vogue” will take place on Tuesday, May 23, from 10 a.m. to noon at the Vogue Theatre, 3290 Sacramento St., in San Francisco. Preregistration is required. For more information or to purchase tickets, contact Rachel Main of Creative Aging San Francisco at 415-463-8505 or creativeagingsf@gmail.com.

In February, they appeared at the Brentwood Library and issued CDs to many grateful parents. They have also appeared at the Oakley Library, little league opening days and seasonal events.

Board from page 1A tributions were determined based on call volumes and population in the respective areas. “There wasn’t a lot of energy (from the county or the City of Oakley) in the room to move forward with an extension of the MOU,” said Brentwood City Manger Gus Vina. Oakley City Councilman Kevin Romick, who represented Oakley at the ad hoc meetings, appeared to indicate he did not approve of Brentwood’s approach. “The approach outlined by Brentwood is a short-term, ‘Band-Aid’ fix and is not sustainable,” Romick said. “This point was brought out in both meetings with the fire and medical services ad hoc committee. What Brentwood fails to address, and what we are looking for, is a solution to the systemic problem of long-term funding for the ECCFPD. In this instance, providing fire services is not a city or county function, but

and mother of two, decided having her children’s information on a CD would be invaluable. “I wasn’t looking for this (CD), but because they were offering it, I thought it was a good idea,” Lauer said. “The process was really easy; the hardest part was getting my two-year-old to sit still for the picture. Now, we have the CD, and it’s in the diaper bag that always travels with us.” Sarkssian will also be appearing at the much-anticipated Brentwood Bazaar on April 15, a fundraising event benefiting the Brentwood Elementary Parents Club. Tina Garcia, who organizes the bazaar, asked

Sarkissian to bring her outreach program to this event. “I think this is a great thing for the community,” Garcia said. “(Anita’s) service is a great fit for the bazaar. At the start, this event was a fundraiser for the school, but it has evolved to a community event. This outreach program fits right in.” As both a local resident and a parent, Garcia appreciates the service Sarkissian is offering. After nine years of running the bazaar, Garcia has a good sense of what the community wants. She has a collection of vendors and businesses that regularly appear, and she feels sure the Child ID Program will

be a popular stop at the bazaar. “Child ID is a wonderful outreach program to raise awareness for child safety in our communities,” said Sarkissian. “This program is something I am so very passionate about and have had the good fortune of receiving amazing support and positive feedback from our community.” For more information about Child ID, contact Anita Sarkissian at 925-567-6429 or asarkissian@ft.newyorklife.com.

one that belongs solely to the district and its board. Finding periodic pots of money, as Brentwood proposes with its (community facilities district) dollars, only confuses the voter, making it more difficult for the needed long-term solution.” ECCFPD director and Oakley City Councilman Doug Hardcastle, who was not in the meetings, said his city’s response to the multijurisdictional idea caught him by surprise. “Evidently, (officials from the district and Brentwood) have been trying to talk to certain people who represent our city, who did not bring the correct information back to the city council,” Hardcastle said. Romick and Burgis said they still plan to discuss the multijurisdictional approach to paying for the fourth station at their April 18 meetings. “The council and board of supervisors will make a decision based on the best infor-

mation we have,” Romick said. Added Burgis, “I am deeply committed to preserving the fourth station. Soon after the fire ad hoc meeting, I added Brentwood’s proposal to the board of supervisors’ April 18 agenda. I hope my colleagues on the board will stand with my district’s constituents and help protect our emergency services.” However, those discussions aren’t likely to impact how the district board secures the fourth station, Young said. “The fire board considered, but did not include, the option to consider an alternate proposal from the county or Oakley in its direction to staff,” Young said. “I do not know what action the fire board would take if the county and Oakley were to make a comparable and compatible offer. I feel that, given the state of fire service in the district and the continued action of the county and Oakley in approving a new building, their effort would be better focused on funding a fifth

station within the system.” If the Knightsen station is closed on June 30 as expected, Bethel Island resident Mark Whitlock said he shudders to think about what will happen to response times on the outer fringes of the district. “Leaving us with what would probably end up being a 30-minute response time and still paying those taxes is really a major problem,” he said. Board Director Erick Stonebarger said he understands Whitlock’s concern, but the alternative is leaving the district with only three engines. “Moving the station from Knightsen to Brentwood is tougher on Bethel Island, and I can appreciate that,” he said. “Not having the additional station is tougher on everybody.” The fire board is expected to approve an MOU with the City of Brentwood at its May 1 meeting.

Krush go 1-1 on opening weekend The West Coast Krush 05 Girls kicked off the 2017 spring season with two games this past weekend, coming away with a record of 1-1, playing for the first time in the 11-vs-11 format on the full-size field. Krush’s season started early last Saturday morning in Concord against the Diablo FC Blues. Both teams started off a little slow, adjusting to the larger field size, but Krush demonstrated strong passing techniques as the scoreless half came to an end. The Krush changed that status shortly into the second half, when Hailey Garvin scored off a pass from Sutton Denny, putting Krush up 1-0. Diablo FC responded midway through with a breakaway goal to tie the game, but Krush came back with a response of its own. With minutes left in the game, Krush kept the pressure on Diablo FC’s defense with multiple shot attempts on goal.

Mia Mirante received a rebound and passed the ball off to Denny, who quickly smashed it into the back of the net for Krush’s second and final goal of the day to win 2-1. Sunday morning saw Krush facing off against neighboring Pleasanton Rage Premier 05 at Val Vista Park in Pleasanton. A close match from the initial kickoff, Rage got on the scoreboard first, scoring the first goal of the game ten minutes into play. The Krush countered two-thirds of the way through the half, when HaileyAnne Stubbles scored on a breakaway play, tying the game 1-1. The Rage put up one more goal before the end of the half, making it 2-1 Rage. Both sides battled back and forth throughout the second half, and although Krush had a few good looks at the net, neither team managed to score. The Rage won 2-1. – Courtesy of the West Coast Soccer Club

West Coast Kaos King of the court advance in State Cup The West Coast Kaos under-14 girls claimed two victories in the Norcal Premier State Cup knockout round. On the road in Sacramento, Kaos beat out the Blues FC 1-0, and at home on Sunday, Kaos delivered a 2-0 shutout to the Force to advance to the next round of state cup matches. In a Norcal National Premier League (NPL) game, the Kaos traveled to Sacramento to take on a tough Blues FC Navy team. The match remained scoreless for 70 minutes until West Coast finally executed on a corner kick. West Coast midfielder Kate Zeck delivered a perfectly placed ball to the back post, where Kaos defender Kassidy Brackett connected with her head to place the ball just outside the reach of the Blues keeper. The Kaos moved ahead 1-0, but the Blues were determined to answer. In a last-minute attack, the Blues’ forward broke free from the Kaos backline and fired a shot that went well over the top of the goal. With the shot missed, the whistle blew and the match ended, giving Kaos a 1-0 victory. The following day, the Kaos faced the Southbay’s Force in a Norcal State Cup knockout game. Higher ranked than Force, the Kaos came into the match with the advantage and favored to win. As the match started, the Kaos went on the attack and the Force could not keep up with Kaos’ relentless offensive pressure.

Williams navigated her way through the middle and found a hole in the Force defense to sink a shot into the right corner of the net. The Kaos moved ahead 2-0 and closed out the match with a solid victory and a spot in the next round of state cup play.

incent Rosenkranz, a 9-year-old Oakley basketball player, recently won three separate free-throw shooting contests to reach the Knights of Columbus NorCal State Finals tournament. He knocked down 10 of 15 shots during the first contest at Delta Vista Middle School in Oakley. He sank 19 of 25 shots to win the second tournament at Timber Point Elementary School in Discovery Bay. He went on to win the regional championship in Walnut Creek, making 21 of 25 shots. At the NorCal meet, he made 17 of 25 shots in the finals, finishing fourth after losing a tiebreaker shootout in the third overtime. Vincent is likely to only improve in the future as he trains year-round with Team Get Buckets basketball-skills training.

Freedom soccer player signs with William Jessup University William Jessup University’s men’s soccer kicked off its signing period with a defensive threat in Freedom senior Derek Vredenburgh. Vredenburgh has been a part of the NorCal Premier Soccer League, playing on the Impact 98 Gold team, while also contributing to his high school’s Falcon squad in the backfield. “We are very excited about what Derek will bring to the table, as he is a confident, skilled and an athletic defender,” said Greg Lazaga, head coach in his second season leading the Warriors. “His character and drive are a perfect match for our team and the Jessup community.” Upon arrival to Jessup, Vredenburgh is

excited to continue his soccer career at the collegiate level and get in the classroom to learn more about his academic interests, which lean toward business. “I chose William Jessup University to take my soccer career to the next level at a fouryear program, while working hard to receive a degree,” Vredenburgh said. “I also like that it is close to home, so my family can catch the games.” While at Jessup, the Freedom senior said he would like not only like to excel in the classroom and on the field, but also find what it is he would like to do as a future career.
