Marsh Trust seeks board members Celebrate The John Marsh Historic Trust is undergoing a new phase in its goal of saving the John Marsh House. Progress is being made in stabilizing the house, fundraising and looking forward to a new state historic park. The trust needs the public to be a part of that future. The board of directors encourages those supportive of its efforts to serve as board members and Friends of John Marsh Committee.

Friends of John Marsh Committee members serve at their convenience. Their activities range from stuffing envelopes, hanging signs, acting as host/hostesses, directing traffic, professional advice, professional services, Gala site preparation, circulating flyers, posting Gala services, soliciting donations, picking up materials, plus work with phone trees, construction – and whatever it takes.

College connection FREE LOAN MOD VS. SHORT SALE ANALYSIS Are you having trouble making your payments? Are you not sure if you should even try a loan mod or just give up and try a short sale? Are you confused as to what they even look at to decide if they approve a loan mod or short sale? (Here’s a hint: It’s NOT the same things!) Are you ready to just throw in the towel and “walk away”? I can help... Over the last few years I’ve met with hundreds of local homeowners who had the exact same questions. I have developed a spreadsheet that will analyze your mortgage situation and compare it to your income. The end result is a pretty good guess as to whether your bank will approve a loan mod and/or a short sale. If you’ve already received a loan mod offer from your bank, it will also help you determine if you should accept it, or reject it as “unaffordable” for you. If you haven’t received a loan

mod offer, it will generate a target number for what IS an affordable payment for your situation. It will also help you determine if your monthly cash flow will improve by becoming a renter or not (the answer may surprise you!). For a free, no-obligation analysis of your situation, call me at (925) 998.9712, or send an email to Brian@ SharpHomesOnline.com. I will give you a list of the info I need, and then I can send the analysis back to you. If you have questions on the results, I’ll be happy to discuss them with you, but there is no obligation on your part. If you have questions on this or any other real estate topic, call me at (925) 240-MOVE (6683). To search the MLS for free and view virtual tours of homes for sale, go to: www.SharpHomesOnline.com.

Cherry’s Tax Facts... By Cherry Comstock

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

5. A Trip to Bermuda – YES, YES, YES - I love this one! ANY business convention held in Bermuda can be written off without even showing there was a special reason to hold your business meeting in paradise. And it’s not the only place. Barbados, Costa Rica, Dominica, the Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guyana, Honduras, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago, Canada, Mexico and all U.S. possessions also fall into this special tax treatment. But outside the U.S. is a different story. 6. Dancing lessons – NO - Dancing With The Stars may be popular, but it’s not going down well with the IRS as the subject of a deduction. You CANNOT take dancing as a deduction for medical expenses, and the following reasons are outlawed – dancing to relive varicose veins, dancing to cure arthritis and finally, dancing to alleviate nervous disorders. Try any of these and you’ll be dancing all the way to the tax courts. A little silly, yes, but this tax pro could use a little fun after the busy season – hope you have enjoyed these. Jet Tax is open year round to serve you with all your tax needs – bookkeeping, Quickbooks consulting tax prep, payroll, consulting and IRS representation. www.jettax.org or call (925)778-0281.

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage Matters Hooray for HomePath Don’t have 3.5% to put down on a home? Don’t want to pay mortgage insurance? Tired of haggling with sellers for closing cost credits? Than Fannie Mae’s HomePath Mortgage Program might just be the answer you’re looking for! Fannie Mae sure hopes so, and has added new incentives that run through June 30th 2011 to make the pot that much sweeter for any would-be Fannie Mae REO (real estate owned) home purchaser. Instead of having to fight the seller, or increase your offer price to receive a seller credit back, Fannie Mae is instantly offering 3.5% of the purchase price to all buyers who are going to live in the house (owner-occupied buyers only), no questions asked, end of story. Per Fannie Mae’s website, www.homepath.com, “only buyers purchasing a HomePath property as their primary residence may receive up to 3.5% in closing cost assistance. Second homes and investment properties are excluded from the incentive.” Their inventory is up which, in turn, has caused the government subsidized agency to create the HomePath Mortgage Program in hopes of turning around inventory and, in turn, stimulating the economy. Since these homes are already owned by Fannie Mae, and Fannie Mae’s own asset managers – persons assigned to work with local real estate agents to price and list these homes – have already come up with a price, there is also no appraisal needed for any home purchased through the HomePath Mortgage Program. Other important perks of finding and

purchasing a Fannie Mae owned home include: only 3% down is required (unlike the 3.5% FHA has required since the start of 2009); you don’t even have to be a first time buyer; if you plan on living in the house you’re purchasing through the HomePath program the down payment of 3% can be a gift; and, there is no mortgage insurance required. Let’s recap: THE SELLER INSTANTLY CREDITS YOU 3.5% OF THE PURCHASE PRICE, YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A FIRST TIME BUYER, THERE IS NO PMI (PRIVATE MORTGAGE INSURANCE) OR MI (MORTGAGE INSURANCE) REQUREMENT, NO APPRAISAL IS REQUIRED, AND, UNLESS YOU’RE BUYING AN INVESTMENT HOME, THE 3% DOWN PAYMENT CAN BE A GIFT. Wow, what a program! Overall Fannie Mae’s HomePath Mortgage Program is an excellent tool one should arm themselves with when shopping the housing market. Contact your local real estate agent to explore the homes Fannie Mae has available. Of course, before that, call me to start your HomePath Mortgage pre-approval process -- not all lenders meet the legal requirements, or are Fannie Mae HomePath approved to offer those loans so call me to save yourself any wasted time. If you have any real estate lending related questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to write me at tfreymortgages@yahoo.com or call me directly on my cell phone, (925) 726-1444.

Finally, Hannah Nicole has expanded its management team to include operations manager Mark Enlow.

by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer Longtime resident Irving Sherman, named the 2011 Oakley Citizen of the Year, will be recognized with other honorees at the annual Chamber of Commerce dinner on Friday, May 20. Sherman became a volunteer firefighter in Oakley in 1964 and still works with the East Contra Costa County Fire Protection District. He has called Oakley home since he moved there as an infant in 1940 and continues to live in the same house where he was raised. Dr. Michael Painter of Oakley Chiropractic will receive the Business Person of the Year award. Jeff Lim is being honored with the Adult Volunteer Service Award and Officer Lance Morrison will be feted as the Police Officer of the Year. Jeff Lim is being honored with the Adult Volunteer Service Award for his years of work with Oakley Boy Scout Troop 152. Lim and a few other fathers started the Vintage Parkway pack in 1992. “We started with about six Cub Scouts and have built it up to well over 60 boys,� said Lim, whose own three boys attained Eagle Scout status under their scoutmaster dad. “I am totally surprised to be honored (by the chamber) but very pleased. I’m just an ordinary Oakley citizen trying to do something for the boys in the community and I’m honored to have been involved with such a great organization.� For Carlos Green, who is receiving the Youth Service Award for his work mentoring children and young adults in wrestling, the honor comes as a surprise. “I wasn’t sure at first why I was be-

Commission Advisor Lindsey Bruno is proud of the youth group’s accomplishments. “I think one of the reasons the group is being recognized is for their efforts in partnering with the school district and parents’ groups to bring the It’s a Girl Thing program to Oakley, and for the effort to get more people involved in the community,� she said. “It’s a wonderful honor and very exciting.� The awards ceremony and banquet will be held from 6 to 11 p.m. at Brownstone Gardens, 91 Brownstone Road in Oakley.

Don’t let Lyme unawareness tick you off May is Lyme Disease Awareness month. With warm weather and longer days come more outdoor activities such as picnics, hiking, biking and camping. And with these activities comes exposure to ticks and possible exposure to Lyme disease. Lyme disease is an infection caused by a spirochete humans can acquire from the bite of an infected deer tick. The spirochete’s scientific name is borrelia burgdorferi. Lyme disease is called “the great imitator” because its symptoms mimic many other diseases. It can affect any organ of the body, including the brain and nervous system, muscles and joints, and the heart.

The lyme-carrying tick has been found in 56 of California’s 58 counties. The activity of California nymphal ticks, which are the size of a poppy seed but boast the highest infection rate, is highest in April, May and June; however, California’s mild climate puts Californians at risk all year. Tick-borne diseases are called the “great imitator” because the symptoms are often misdiagnosed as MS, ALS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Parkinson’s, ADHS and mental illness, to name a few. If caught early and treated, the disease can be treated successfully. The average Lyme patient takes 2½ years to be diagnosed and

sees on average eight to 10 physicians before diagnosis. To reduce your chance of acquire a tick bite, avoid tick-infested areas such as leaf litter under trees. Avoid brushing against long grasses and brush on edges of paths. Don’t sit on stumps or fallen logs. Stay out of tall grass and dry brush areas. Wear light-colored long pants and long sleeves so you can easily see ticks on your clothing. Tuck your shirt into your pants and pants into socks. Use DEET on your skin and treat your clothing with a spray containing permethrin. Do a thorough tick check upon returning from a walk in tick territory and for several days following exposure. Check bedding for several days following exposure. Ticks, especially nymphal ticks, are tiny. Find and remove them before they bite. To remove a tick, use fine-point tweezers

or a special tick-removing tool. Grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible. If you can’t use tweezers, protect your fingers with a tissue. Pull the tick straight out with steady, even pressure. Avoid squeezing the tick, breaking it, or allowing any blood to remain on your skin. On Saturday, May 14, the East Contra Costa County Lyme Disease Awareness Support Group will host a free information booth at the Brentwood Farmers’ Market. Stop by and pick up free information on Lyme disease to protect you and your family. The preceding information was gathered from CALDA. You can get more information from the California Lyme Disease Association at www.lymedisease.org, the National Lyme Disease Association at www.lymediseaseassociation.org and the International Lyme & Associated Diseases Society at www.ilads.org.

Save A Life Sister support The Cancer League has donated $23,500 to the Delta Memorial Hospital Foundation to pay for breast exams for uninsured women and continue the medical center’s cancer outreach in our community. The donation augments $25,000 received from the Susan G. Komen For the Cure, a global leader in breast cancer awareness and support. Such support allows the Foundation to support the Save A Life Sister program

(SALS), which has provided services for more than 17 years. In the wake of state budget and program reductions, SALS was one of only three programs in the Bay Area that continued to provide breast cancer screening and detection services for uninsured women during 2010. In 2010, through SALS, two women were diagnosed with breast cancer and immediately linked to treatment. SALS served 222 women at a cost of $113,000.

Fire from page 1A also the fire board president) which was established several months ago “to work parallel (with the district’s effort) because we knew there was a chance we would go down this path,” Stonebarger said. It amounts to a Plan B, he said, not an abandonment of the effort to find a solution for the entire district. “It’s putting us in a position to have an option” so that residents of Brentwood would still have fire service should efforts to save the ECCFPD continue to be unsuccessful. Gil Guerrero, vice president of firefighter’s union Local 1230, urged the council not to make the move. He called it “premature” to begin down the separation path before having collected enough information to know if separation was even possible, and thinks it will undermine the public trust needed to save the district. “It sends the wrong message,” he said. “People will wonder: are they (Brentwood) lowering their life boats? Is the president (Stonebarger) leaving the ship?” The uncertainty will only make passage of any revenue enhance-

Meals from page 1A everything is OK. “Meals on Wheels is about nutrition, companionship and a safety net for our seniors,” Fitgerald said. “About 59 percent of the seniors we serve are getting by on less than $1,000 a month. These homebound seniors are members of the hidden population and we need to take care of them.” Fitzgerald said once drivers join the program, they get hooked. She has many drivers who have been supporting the program for more than 20 years. Brentwood resident Sherman Geeser has been with the program for 12 years. While he initially became a volunteer driver to have something to do once he entered retirement, he said the volunteer work is so rewarding that he runs two shifts in Brentwood on Mondays and Wednesdays. “I’ve met a lot of really nice people through this program, and it’s nice to know

ment that might save the district all the more difficult. Discovery Bay resident Bob Mankin agreed, telling the council that the move “left a crater in your credibility” and that it’s possible a vote of “no confidence” might be registered against the Brentwood contingent by the rest of the fire board when it meets again in June. Commissioner Jim Frazier, also Oakley’s mayor, isn’t even sure that the next fire board meeting can be held. Given Brentwood’s decision to look at going it alone, lawyers are looking at whether they can continue to vote on district matters and, since a quorum of Brentwood’s council sits on the fire board, whether they can even discuss their decisions as a City Council at fire meetings. Even if it’s legally OK, the move, made without informing the rest of the fire board, has destroyed Frazier’s trust in his fellow board members from Brentwood. “I have no faith in them anymore,” Frazier said. Brentwood’s decision to move now was based on the estimated 12 to 18 months it

could take to create a new district through the Local Agency Formation Commission, which oversees the creation of special districts. The process would include negotiating with the county for current fire tax revenue collected from Brentwood, creating a service plan and securing the additional revenue needed from Brentwood residents in order to finance its own district. “They’re going to have to pay more either way,” union President Vince Wells said. “Why pay a few more dollars to (form a new district) when you can pay a few more dollars to keep this district? No matter which plan it is, it’s going to cost more money.” Councilman Bob Brockman bristled at the suggestion that launching a Plan B meant Brentwood had given up all hope for the district, but at the same time he painted a lessthan-rosy picture. “It’s foolish to think that we don’t want the best for the whole district,” he said. “I would prefer to save the whole district if it’s possible, but honestly, I don’t know if it is.” Councilman Joel Bryant said he voted for the move because he had always been taught

“If you don’t have a back-up plan, you don’t have a plan.” Still, he wants to try to keep the district whole. “I don’t see what harm there is in getting everyone together, locking the door, bringing in some pizza, and hammering this out.” Oakley Councilmember and fire board member Pat Anderson said Brentwood’s move “feels like an abandonment of the group process.” She thinks the ECCFPD might still be saved if a bridge loan can be arranged to keep it afloat for five years while a plan is put together to find permanent funding. Even if that were possible, she added, it would certainly be more difficult now that a political split exists in the district. Commissioner and Oakley Vice Mayor Kevin Romick said he also wishes Brentwood had waited, if only to bring the discussion to the full fire board for discussion prior to a sudden decision to pursue an opt-out plan. He said he has asked the issue be placed on the Oakley council agenda to determine his city’s best course of action. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

that I’m doing a little something to make someone’s day better,” Geeser said. “You get to chat with clients and check in with them to see how they’re doing. It’s a gratifying experience to know you’re doing a good deed for the community. And it’s a really easy program to get involved with. All you need is a few hours a week.” To become a volunteer driver for Meals on Wheels, you must have a valid California driver’s license, your own car and car insurance. Drivers are also required to keep a charged cell phone with them in case they need to receive information during a delivery. Food is picked up from Bateman Canteen on Auto Center Drive in Antioch. Thermal bags keep meals hot for up to two hours. Coolers filled with blue ice packs preserve the cold portion of the meals. Before drivers go out on their own, they take an hour-long training course and shadow an experienced Meals on Wheels

driver to learn the ropes and greet people on their new route. For Brentwood resident Jim Frazier, Meals on Wheels gives him the chance to be involved with the community and make new friends. He’s been with the program for five years and is a member of the Friends of Meals on Wheels Advisory Board, which helps plan fundraising efforts. “Meals on Wheels is an amazing program,” said Frazier, who drives a route in Pittsburg. “Not only are you providing a meal to someone in need, but you’re making a connection. Never underestimate the power of kind words. That might be the only contact our seniors have that day, and that means a lot to them. Folks think they don’t have time to dedicate to this program, but it’s only a few hours of your day. When you see the smiles on the seniors’ faces, you know you’ve made a difference.”

Even if you don’t have time to become a driver, you can still support Meals on Wheels through monetary donations, which can be sent to Meals on Wheels Senior Outreach Services, 1300 Civic Drive, Walnut Creek, CA 94596. While the program provides meals to seniors, volunteers also go above and beyond to help seniors feel cared for by creating special birthday and holiday packages for delivery throughout the year. Seniors also receive emergency packs of nonperishable foods twice a year. “Our volunteers are the hearts and hands of this program, and I’m so grateful for their support,” Fitzgerald said. “We’re like family, and we’re always looking for new members.” For more information or to volunteer, visit www.mowsos.org, call Fitzgerald at 925937-8607 or e-mail sfitzgerald@mowsos.org.

Recycling event should be expanded Editor: Regarding “Free Neighborhood Cleanups”: These green notices are sent out infrequently and we read them and we try to schedule it in. What if the notice started out this way: “Let’s ALL keep Brentwood beautiful. We will be open only from 9 to 11 a.m., Saturday May 14, to receive recyclable, sorted items.

In defense of Pakistan Editor: I feel I need to speak out against what I believe is an injustice and a misunderstood world view. Unfortunately it has become widely accepted, and an entire nation, people and culture are being maligned for it. As the news broke that Osama Bin Laden had been gunned down by a U.S. Navy SEAL team in Pakistan, a torrent of anger and accusations followed and were directed at the country he took his last breath in. Pakistan has been skewered in the media, where the country’s military and intelligence are often made into villains who give shelter to the most despicable humans on earth and laud the murder of innocent people. In the past few years, Pakistan has been hit by attacks that have rattled every province and brought disaster to every major city on multiple occasions. The Pakistani Taliban – a strain of extremists who have a different strategy than the Afghan militia that U.S. soldiers are fighting – have declared war on

Pakistan’s government, police, military and religious minorities. The group is led by Hakimullah Mehsud, a younger and more aggressive commander who does not share the same concern for Muslim civilian casualties as Bin Laden has shown, or at least attempted to show. Pakistani security forces and civilians are laying down their lives so that Americans can debate whether or not terrorism is a legitimate concern almost 10 years after 9/11. Yet it seems that all our leaders and our media will do is harass the Pakistani government and go so far as to accuse Pakistan of betraying us with support to Al-Qaeda. These allegations are made in the face of appalling facts, like the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, the wife of Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari. Elements of Pakistan’s military and spy agency may very well have known where Bin Laden had been hiding, but the rest of the world should think before

we vent our anger. As I mentioned, Pakistan is embroiled in a ferocious struggle with its own Taliban that is actively seeking the destruction of the state. While an ugly thought to westerners, the Pakistani government has good reason to hesitate when the U.S. demands more action against Al-Qaeda and Afghan Taliban insurgents whose primary targets are U.S. soldiers. Killing the leaders of these groups – including Bin Laden – would unleash a whole new wave of suicide bombings and fundamentalist wrath while the army and police struggle to contain Hakimullah and his associates. To put it simply, Pakistan’s cities would go up in flames while American cities would celebrate vengeance. This is the unseen aspect of this never-ending struggle … and it’s happening right now. Already, the Pakistani Taliban are rallying extremist groups together to call for the assassination of President Zardari and his nation’s top military command-

ers in the wake of Bin Laden’s death. They are clearly not as convinced of Pakistan’s “complacency” as some of us here in the United States. Corey Hunt Brentwood

Heritage youth a key to success Final meet for track athletes

by Michael Dixon Correspondent

Last season, Heritage High’s swimming and diving team won the Bay Valley Athletic League Championship, going undefeated through the league season and winning the league championship meet. But the Patriots weren’t done. They returned nearly their entire roster for 2011 and went undefeated through their league dual meets on their way to a 9-1 overall record. Now, all they need is a third-place finish in this weekend’s BVAL championships and they’ll hoist another league banner. “We’re having a really good season,” said head coach Craig Carson. “We’re stronger this year than last. We were young and we’re still losing only eight seniors this year. The kids are pretty excited.” Juniors Erica Knudsen, Madison Applegate and Carter Haines join the sophomore group of Haley Rose Love, Rachel Allison and Ryan Barsanti, along with freshmen Walker Thaning and Brandon James, as swimmers who’ve already earned at least consideration for the North Coast Section meet. Joining them are divers Colin see Youth page 24A

A key RBI single in the sixth inning helped Deer Valley High’s varsity baseball team hold off Pittsburg on Tuesday in a 7-3 victory. After the Pirates rallied from a 30 deficit to tie it up in their half of the sixth, Wolverines senior outfielder Nicholas Gavello legged out a triple to right center field in the team’s first at-bat of the inning. Next, senior first baseman Patrick McKnight drove Gavello home with a single, giving Deer Valley a lead it would not relinquish. The Wolverines scored three more times before junior southpaw reliever Marcos Martinez shut the door with a 12-3 seventh inning. Gavello finished 3-for-3; McKnight went 2-for-2 with an RBI and three runs scored. “I knew we’d get (the lead) back,” said junior starting pitcher Ricky Delgado, who was issued a no-decision. “Everything could happen, but I never doubted them. They’re my team.” It was an important win for Deer Valley (13-8, 6-1 Bay Valley Athletic League), which is chasing defending league champion Heritage. As of Wednesday, the Patriots were still undefeated in BVAL play. The two teams face

off on Tuesday, on Heritage’s diamond, with the league title likely at stake. The Patriots claimed the first round, a 2-1 victory on April 28. “In the beginning, we kind of fluttered and didn’t come to play every day,” McKnight said. “I feel like we’re back on track to our winning ways.” McKnight’s team drew first blood in the second inning as he scored on an error. Another error in the next at-bat made it a 2-0 game. In the fourth inning, McKnight found home plate again, this time on a fielder’s choice. Under the direction of first-year manager Bob Orr, Pittsburg (9-11, 2-

5 BVAL) looked fairly competitive on Tuesday. Despite the 3-0 lead Deer Valley built up, the Pirates seemed within striking distance most of the game. Pittsburg scored its first run in the fifth inning on an error. In the sixth inning, senior outfielder Riley Cox led off with a walk. The Wolverines then replaced junior starting pitcher Ricky Delgado with Martinez, who gave up an RBI double to junior infielder Lorenzo Sandoval. Two batters later, junior outfielder Malik Watson, who finished 2-for-3, blasted a ground-

Some of the best track and field athletes in the North Coast Section will be competing for gold on Saturday as the Bay Valley Athletic League concludes its league season at the BVAL Championships at Freedom High. The girls division team competition should be tight as Deer Valley and Heritage fight it out for the league title. The Wolverines are favored to win the BVAL league meet, but if the Patriots finish second, they’ll wrap up the league title. Two weeks ago the Patriots upset the Wolverines 87-49 in the last dual meet of the season. On the boys side, Heritage is favored to win its third consecutive league title, while Deer Valley and host Freedom will likely vie for the second spot. Many athletes competing Saturday have more on their minds than a league championship, as some of the state’s best happen to belong to the six teams in the BVAL. A chance to move on to the North Coast Section Tri-Valley meet is in order, since the top six finishers try to keep their state meet hopes alive the next week at Granada High School.

Sprints Freedom and Deer Valley’s top sprinters lead the way in the 4x100-meter relay. Freedom senior Timazray Shepherd is the fastest in the field, while Antioch’s Shamawn Wright will be hard on Shepherd’s heels. Deer Valley’s Shawn Simms and Heritage’s Bryan Cuellar have also enjoyed outstanding seasons. Wright should win the 200 meters, but don’t count out Simms. Both have posted the section’s two fastest times. The quarter-mile event features Deer Valley senior Jesse White and his 10th-fastest time in the state. White will be challenged by a pair from Heritage – Miguel Aguiar and freshman Frank Kurtz. All have run sub-50-second times this year. In the girls sprints, Antioch’s Khadija Suleman owns the section’s second fastest time at 12.20 seconds in the 100-meter dash, and will lead the Panthers in a close battle with Deer Valley in the 4x100-meter relay. The Wolverines have the section’s fastest time and are ninth in the state. Suleman is favored to win the 200 meters as well. Deer Valley’s Raven Fox and Antioch’s Taevionna Wilson are tenths of a second apart and should provide an exciting race in the 400 meters.

Distance Heritage distance runners have dominated the 800- and 1600-meter runs this year. Seniors Eric Morford and Brandon Brum see Track page 25A

Season over for BVAL tennis teams by Michael Dixon Correspondent

Last weekend’s North Coast Section matches at Oakley’s Diamond Hills Sports Club brought an end to the high school tennis season for most Bay Valley Athletic League athletes. The lone exception were Deer Valley’s tennis players, who qualified for Tuesday’s NCS team tournament. The 12th-seeded Wolverines fell on Tuesday in the first round of the NCS team tournament, 6-1, to No. 5 seed Redwood of the Marin County Athletic League, ending the team’s season. Deer Valley senior Abid Ahmad was the only local representative to win a set in last week’s overall NCS tournament, as he defeated Clayton Valley’s Jonathan Kim 6-3 in the first set of their match before dropping the final two sets by the same score. His first-set win marked the first time that a BVAL player had won a set in the NCS tournament. The team of junior Zahid Ahmad and sophomore Cameron Yee were defeated by the Piedmont team of brothers Jon and USC-bound Matt Wang, who repeated their 2010 title. Ahmad and Yee qualified because a team from Mission San Jose couldn’t make the tournament. “It’s a pretty advanced field,” said Wolverines head coach Brian Richard-

Youth from page 23A Wirth and Travis Cook. Joining them is a group of roughly a half-dozen swimmers who can realistically qualify for NCS with a strong swim in the BVAL championships. A season ago, the Patriots fielded a strong team, but were let down a little at the NCS meet, which is one of the top high school swimming events in the country.

Deer Valley senior Abid Ahmad and the Wolverines qualified for the NCS team tournament on Tuesday, but were shown an early exit. son. “Overall, the boys really performed well. They played as hard as they could. We have been building a few years to get to this point. Now we need to keep on working so we can make the next step.” Heritage sent two senior-laden dou-

bles teams to the NCS meet. Michael De La Madrid and Andrew Mucha were the BVAL’s top doubles team last year. They both played singles this year but reunited in the league tournament and beat previously undefeated teammates Matt De La

There, Applegate was Heritage’s standout performer, finishing sixth in the 100-yard butterfly and seventh in the 200-yard freestyle. This year, Carson, as well as the swimmers, feels the team is stronger and more poised to make a strong run. “On this year’s team, a lot of us are more willing to step up and see what we can do in events that aren’t our normal events,” said junior Kurt Holzmuller. “That’s led to a lot of swimming our best times and has

helped the team win our closer meets.” Holzmuller shares the captaincy with fellow juniors Caitlyn Freeman, Ty Elder and Hayley Thaning. “We have a lot of new workouts, and I think it’s really preparing us better for the meets; it gets us more experience,” said Hayley Thaning. “We’ve been doing different sets with speed and working specifically on our strokes.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Madrid and Collin Fridel in the league final. De La Madrid and Mucha were defeated 6-0, 6-2 by the Miramonte team of Brian Tan and Luke Bohuslav. The Miramonte duo lost to the Wang brothers in the final. De La Madrid and Fridel were defeated 6-0, 6-0 in the opening round by Monte Vista’s Mark Meyer and Anthony Lim. “They kept positive and didn’t get down. In doubles, you can’t have one guy getting down on the other guy, and that never happened,” said Heritage head coach Mike Carman. “Mike and Andrew were down 6-0, 5-0, but they came back to win two games, and that meant a lot to them.” Joining the players from Deer Valley and Heritage was Freedom senior Jeff Matteri, who was runner-up to Ahmad in the BVAL tournament. In the NCS tournament, he was defeated by Campolindo’s Nolan Richard 6-1, 6-0. That ended a rollercoaster season for Matteri and one of the best individual careers a Freedom tennis player has ever known. “He had a chance at redemption,” said head coach Steve Amaro. “He played the best that he could. He did play his best; he just played against a kid who’s been playing for 10 years longer.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Rallies from page 23A rule double to make it a 3-3 game. However, Pittsburg senior starting pitcher Nick Valle, who did well for most of the game, was unable to hold off Deer Valley in the bottom of the sixth. “We have to make the plays,” Orr said. “I felt like we were hitting the ball hard. We just left runners on base.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.


Track from page 23A have excellent chances of moving on to the NCS Meet of Champions in Berkeley in two weeks. Morford has run 4:20 in the 1600, while Brum leads the 800 with a 1:56. Morford, who owns the fastest qualifying time in the league at 9:59, could also win the 3200 meters but should get challenged by Deer Valley’s Paul Matejcek. In the girls distance races, Heritage senior Alex Grant has proven to be the top runner in the 800 and 1600. Grant should get challenged by teammate Sarah Toelkes and Antioch’s Gianna Lucido in the half-mile, while Liberty’s Cora Williams will attempt to upset Grant in the mile. Freedom’s crew of Carmen Martinez, Lisa Tilcock and Kendall Kawalkowski could sweep the two-mile event with Martinez leading the way.

Hurdles Continuing Freedom’s dynasty in the hurdles is D’Amora Cooper, who has established himself as the league’s best. Cooper has run a personal best 14.71 in the 110 high hurdles at a dual meet this year, placing him sixth in the section. Pittsburg’s Devontae Sabir-Anderson leads the field in the intermediate 300 hurdles. Cooper is his closest competitor. Deer Valley’s Erica Wilson is far and away the top hurdler in the 100 and 300 hurdle races. Wilson is ranked fifth in the section in the 100-meter hurdles, which features some of the nation’s finest. In the 300 hurdles, Wilson is the section’s fastest and ranked ninth in the state.

Field Events Heritage and Pittsburg will dominate the throwing events. Jacob Rounds of Heritage is ranked 11th in the state in the shot put with a best of 57 feet, 7 inches. He’s also favored in the

SPORTS

discus throw, but could get challenged by teammates Alex Horncliff and Kyle Thacker. Pittsburg’s John Lacey has the second farthest throw in the shot at 49-8. For the girls competition, Idorenyin Udoh of Pittsburg leads the competition with a discus throw of more than 99 feet. Her shot put throw of 30-9 is second to Liberty’s Kayla Ambrose, who leads with a toss of 31-1. Billy Eng of Heritage and Michael Kicenski of Freedom will compete for the top high jump spot. Both senior rivals have jumps over 6 feet, 4 inches, Eng topping out at 6-6. Kicenski beat Eng in a dual meet earlier in the season. Eng is ranked 11th in the state. On the girls side, Heritage fields three jumpers that leap over 410. Brittney Kuykendall leads the pack for the Patriot girls with a personal best 4-11. Cooper and Simms will also face off in the long jump, where Cooper holds a slight edge. Cooper has jumped over 22 feet this season and is ranked 20th in the state, while Simms is ranked 32nd. Liberty’s Nicholas West’s 44foot, 8-inch triple jump leads the league. Two Deer Valley girls have posted long jumps over 18 feet. Darnella Jenkins is ranked first in the section and ninth in the state with a distance of 18-9 this season. Teammate Audrena Harlan is ranked fourth in the section and has a good chance to make the state meet. In the pole vault competition, Liberty’s Jesus Morales and Heritage’s Anthony Bowman will go for gold. Morales’s best is 13 feet even, but Bowman has risen in this competition each week in the event and has cleared 12-6. Liberty’s Michelle Fancey leads the girls competition with a best of 9-0, followed closely by athletes from Heritage and Freedom at 7-6. – Contributed by Deer Valley journalism student Jabe Geoffroy

YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU‌ OR CAN YOU? FIXTURES by Joan Grimes, Esq. When a person knows that a home is going to be lost in a foreclosure, it is very tempting to try and take everything that is not nailed down and sometimes stuff which is nailed down. Sometimes, the homeowner thinks they have a right to take everything they purchased or maybe they think the removal of the property will not affect the value of the property. However, before anything is removed from a home in foreclosure, here are the laws you should know. First, under California Civil Code Section 2929, “no person whose interest is subject to the lien of a mortgage may do any act which will substantially impair the mortgagee’s security. “ A violation of this law, will give rise to a claim for “waste.â€? Also, while California Civil Code Sections 580(b) and (d) create bars to deficiency claims by a lender after a trustee’s sale, there is an exception for “bad faith waste.â€? Second, bad faith waste is anything done with reckless, intentional or malice towards the lenders. So, if property is intentionally removed from the property even if it was not done with recklessness or with malice and it substantially impair a lender’s security, a claim for waste will still remain. The statute of limitations for bringing the claim will usually be 4 years from the date of the foreclosure. Third, claims for waste usually arise when fixtures or permanent items are removed. An easy definition of a fixture is anything nailed down or becomes permanently attached to a property whether inside the house or outside. So that means the following should not be removed: built-in anything including bookcases, bbq and shutters. It also means that light fixtures, doors and tile work should not be removed. If it is nailed down, screwed in or was especially made for the house, it should stay with the house.

MAY 13, 2011

SPORTS

Fourth, a claim for waste can continue in bankruptcy under Bankruptcy Code Section 523(a)(6) if the court finds a wrongful act, done intentionally and which necessarily causes injury and is done without just cause or excuse. The possibility of a claim being made is REAL. We had a judgment entered against a debtor in Oakland in 2010 for waste for removal of fixtures valued at $77,000, In conclusion, If a property is going to be lost in foreclosure, nothing should be removed from the property if it is nailed down or has become a permanent part of the property. It is fine to take the washer/ dryer, refrigerator and anything that is just plugged in. If you have a favorite lamp or chandelier and want to take it, it should be replaced with a similar quality product. If you going to be losing a home, a real estate or bankruptcy attorney will be able to advise you whether a short sale may be a better alternative for you than a foreclosure. Also, if you have other debt which you are unable to pay off such as credit cards, lines of credit or car loans, a bankruptcy may be the best alternative for you.

Impact team a finalist The EDYSL U16 Boys Impact 94Black soccer team was a finalist in the recent inaugural CYSA Northern California President’s Cup. After going undefeated in four games in Visalia and winning the semifinal in Cherry Island, the team finally succumbed to the Los Gatos Arsenal in a heated championship battle at Bartholomew Sports Complex in Elk Grove. The Impact 94Black put in a strong performance against an equally determined Arsenal team throughout the game, which went to a second overtime period tied 0-0. It came down to a corner kick to the other team, which brought the ball in on a short pass. Impact players thought their opponent was offside and looked to the referees to get the call. The distraction took their focus off the play long enough for the ball to be crossed into the middle, bouncing around and into the net. The Impact 94Black defense gave up

only two goals in 510 minutes of President’s Cup play. The team will look back with pride on a great season. After several years of dramatic player and coaching changes, the 2010-11 U16 boys team won half its league games in 2010 – up from zero the year before. At the team party, the boys voiced their pride in each other and happiness with the season, eager to start the new year. At the end, they huddled together and boomed a loud and affectionate “team break!” U16 Boys IMPACT 94Black players are Fernando Blanco, Jr., Alex Charvet, Nicholas Eng, Addison Estrada, Gerardo Fernandez-Cacho, Joshua Fontes, Daniel Guzman, Victor Lee, Jacob Olejnik, Edgar Ordaz, Eric Reynoso, Juan Rondan, Eduardo Sanchez, Tyler Scott, Brady Sheehan and Tyler Tavares. – Contributed by Jennifer Charvet

Falcons captain engineers success on the court by Justin Lafferty Staff Writer

It wasn’t during a game or a practice when Freedom High boys volleyball head coach Kellie Goldberg noticed the methodical nature of senior setter/outside hitter Dalton Weger. It was in her statistics class. Students were tasked with creating a “Minute To Win It” game. Most went with simple tricks. Weger and his group went MacGyver. They created a catapult out of a mouse trap, a ruler and a cup. Naturally, Weger’s team aced the assignment. That wasn’t out of the ordinary for Weger, who will attend Chico State next year and plans to become a mechanical engineer. He’s been preparing for this career for years, ever since he started taking apart and tweaking radios and other electronics in his garage. Weger has transferred that tinkering mentality onto the volleyball court, where he has been the Falcons’ captain since his sophomore year. “As a captain, I pretty much have to problem-solve all the time,” said Weger, who was also the goalkeeper for the water polo team. “If I see something’s not working on the court, I have to make adjustments accordingly to figure out how we can make it work.” Earlier this season, Weger noticed that the lineup Goldberg was putting out

He talked it over with the coach, who shifted some players around, which led to more cohesion and success. As of Wednesday, Freedom is 6-3 against Bay Valley Athletic League opponents. “He has the personality of ‘This doesn’t work – how can I fix it?’” said Goldberg, the second-year head coach.

“He’ll come into my classroom with contraptions that shoot rubber bands. That’s just how he’s wired.” Goldberg credited Weger with helping her smoothly transition into the Falcons head coaching job. Originally hired as the assistant coach, she was forced into the lead role shortly before the season started

when the head coach resigned. Weger immediately became Goldberg’s welcome wagon, personal assistant and liaison between her and the players. That take-charge attitude got the attention of Goldberg, one of the few women in the area who coach boys volleyball. “He was willing to do whatever I needed him to do and he never complained about it,” Goldberg said. “You can just tell, the way he carries himself, that guys always look up to him.” On the court, the 6-foot-3-inch Weger also stands out among his peers. Last year, he was a first-team all-BVAL selection. So far this season, he has racked up 18 blocks, 64 kills, 25 aces and roughly 110 assists. Weger didn’t start playing the sport until his freshman year. His parents played recreationally, and he was one of the tallest kids in school, so it seemed a natural fit. While still learning the intricacies of the sport in his first year, he was promoted to varsity and cracked the starting lineup of a senior-laden Falcons squad by season’s end. As a sophomore, Weger was chosen as the team captain. Goldberg praised Weger’s speed and ability to serve, in addition to his strong sense of leadership. “Now I know I have to lead the team and be a good example and tell them what would be best,” Weger said. “I’m glad I could be as good as I am now, and I’ve had a lot of fun playing.” A mindset that needs no tweaking.

Vet’s pet project becomes a reality JUSTIN LAFFERTY

years ago. Veterinarian Howard Schutzman, who heads up the hospital, and his fellow New York partner Arnold Gutlaizer fell in love with California when they came out to the West Coast for veterinary school – and set a goal of opening a shop of their own. Working with animals has been Schutzman’s dream since grade school. The dream was realized in April of 1986 when Schutzman and Gutlaizer took over a pet hospital at 1432 10th St. in Antioch. The just-opened Deer Valley site is their second, and according to Schutzman, the new facility is a state-of-the-art wonder and twice the size of the first. “We always wanted to own our own place and call the shots as we saw fit,” ON THE COVER: Local pets get pampered during last weekend’s Doggie Depot dog wash event benefiting the Homeless Animal Response Program.

Schutzman said. “When we first took over (the 10th Street hospital), we had maybe five employees. Now we have 35 employees.” The new Antioch Veterinary Hospital has become a one-stop location for pet needs, and customers have taken notice – more than 400 people came by the open house in April. The hospital practices emergency services, wellness exams, vaccinations, major surgeries, chemotherapy and dentistry. Antioch Veterinary Hospital employs high-tech treatments such as endoscopy, ultrasound and digital X-rays. Pet owners can look up records through the hospital’s

website much like they can at their human physician’s. The facility, open seven days a week, also employs two full-time groomers, teachers for puppy classes and obedience training, plus boarding facilities. “We can do most anything that’s necessary to take care of people’s pets,” Schutzman said. “By offering so many things, it’s a big convenience for clients – also a major price savings.” Schutzman’s hospital is accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association, something he said a mere 15 percent of

veterinary practices earn. The hospital is also Diamond Certified. The doctors love animals and strive to be as accessible to pet owners as possible. Schutzman noted that there’s plenty of love inside the company as well, as many of his employees have stayed for more than 20 years. “The community has responded to the care that we give pets,” Schutzman said. “People will say things like ‘I wish my own physician would treat me like you treat my pets.’” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

“Many owners might be tempted to reprimand their dogs for what they interpret as bad behavior, such as inappropriate chewing and digging, but often such behavior is a sign of boredom,” says Gina DiNardo, spokesperson for the American Kennel Club (AKC) Canine Partners Program. Here are some of the AKC Canine Partners’ best tips to keep your pooch from becoming bored and acting out: Take preemptive measures An easy way to keep your dog entertained and prevent unwanted behavior is to give him a variety of toys and rotate favorites. Put “old” toys out of sight for a month or two, then bring them out again. Toys in which you can hide a treat will keep your dog extra busy. Dogs left unattended for hours during the day often become restless and act out. Leaving the radio or TV on when you’re away should keep them company and calm their nerves. Also keep in mind that a well-trained dog is a happy dog. A good training program, such as the AKC Canine Good Citizen Program, will teach your dog basic good manners such

as sitting and coming when called, as well as other behaviors for daily situations. Spend time together Like humans, dogs are social animals. Unlike humans, they rarely complain about where you go – as long as they’re with you. “Owners can ensure their dog is happy and well socialized with some easy steps that will not only curb Fido’s boredom but increase the bond you have with him,” said DiNardo. “Try incorporating your dog into your daily errands and activities, like exercise, to benefit his health and yours.” Take your dog for walks or throw a ball around to get him up and moving. Or play hide-and-seek by keeping your dog occupied in one room with treats while you go and hide in another, then call his name and see if he can find you. Or conceal a treat in one hand while holding both arms out, and let your dog select one. He gets the treat if he picks correctly. Put Fido to work When in doubt, give your pooch a task. Teaching him to fetch the paper or simply making him sit before getting a treat will give your dog a sense of purpose and accomplishment while keeping his mind occupied and body out of trouble.

brushes, shampoos and nail clippers and you’re ready

to doll up your dog. But what happens when your charming Chihuahua or glorious golden just won’t cooperate? How do you know when it’s time to call in the professionals? “Dogs are very much like children – they always behave better for other people,” laughed Randae Bither, owner of Doggie Depot in Brentwood. “So we are often more successful at getting the job done than their owners might be. We know how to handle all kinds of breeds and personalities because that’s our training. For us, that’s part of the fun.” For nearly 20 years, Bither has been beautifying the canine population with her special brand of pampering and professionalism; a job the Discovery Bay resident considers a labor of love. “We have a very loyal following, and that’s something I’m very proud of,” said Bither. “People trust us to take care of their babies and that really means a lot. “I have something I call the Randae Standard. It’s not just a regular standard of care; it’s my personal standard of professionalism. We stand behind everything we do – period – and I think people

appreciate that.” And so do the dogs. From shampoo blowouts to haircuts, ear cleanings and nail clippings, Bither and her professional staff offer a full complement of services and plenty of TLC. But like all good parents, if one of the “kids” doesn’t want to cooperate, Bither has no compunction about tough-loving her canine clients. “We try to get around our more strong-willed animals any way we can; we don’t sedate or medicate them,” said Bither. “But if we have to, we’ll bring out the Cone of Shame. We call it the party hat. If they can’t behave, they get a free party hat. It’s all about their safety and protection. We want it to be a good experience for everyone.” Since each animal is unique, when it comes to haircuts Bither encourages owners to convey their personal wishes to the Doggie Depot staff. “There’s no such thing as a regular haircut,” she said. “So I tell people to come in with an idea of what they want for their dog and to even bring a picture. Of course, it’s a little bit like going to the salon with a picture of Jennifer Aniston and asking to look like that, but we do the best we can.” So what’s popular for today’s cosmopolitan pooch? “Well we do a lot of color,” said Bither. “We have one poodle, an old girl, who’s a little gray, and she comes in and gets her coat dyed. But we also do a lot of crazy see Depot page 6B

the calmer dogs. In the penthouse suites, pets enjoy relaxing music and TV. Owners can request certain channels be played so pets can hear a familiar sound throughout their stay. The entire experience can be customized with comforts from home or toys and beds provided by the resort. The main suites don’t feature TVs but do feature the love and attention of the

resort’s handlers. “Throughout the day, we’re constantly going into their rooms because they do need that stimulation, especially the smaller pets or a dog that has been rescued or adopted,” Lisa said. “They need that little extra love because they’ve gone through a tragic situation.” The resort also features a kitty room providing plenty of room to explore, plus a

large cat tree for playtime. Pets are let out twice a day for about 15 minutes in the five large exercise rooms, as well as given one-on-one playtime. For safety reasons, the playtime is with a caregiver at the resort and not with other pets. There are a bevy of extras for pet owners to choose from, including grooming, time in the swimming pool and “yappy hours,” which include playtime, a cookie and some ice cream. Brentwood Pet Resort accommodates roughly 20 to 25 pets per week and fills up fast during the summer and Christmas season. Krissy and Tim started the business 14 years ago out of love for animals and to fill a need. Tim noted that pet owners have come from as far away as San Francisco, Fremont and Santa Cruz to give their animal companions the resort’s special brand of pampering. In addition to dogs and cats, the boarding house is also prepared to care for birds, hamsters, bunnies, rats and guinea pigs, although owners must provide the cages. “Whatever they want us to do,” Tim said, “we basically do.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

ing list. “Yes, please, we ask people to make appointments,” said Bither. “Clients always ask if they can come in today and I tell them no, we are not Super Cuts for dogs. We make appointments so we can give them the full attention they deserve.” But in the end, according to Bither, choosing a groomer should be less about popular haircuts and up-to-the-minute dye

jobs than expertise and experience. “If someone is looking for a groomer, they should definitely ask questions about their education and experience and whether they are familiar with your particular breed,” said Bither. “It’s kind of like finding a pediatrician for your child: you want the best one you can find. “But it needn’t be a formal process. Really, it’s about listening to your gut and

finding someone you’re comfortable with and is good with your dog. It’s about listening to your little voice and paying attention to it. That’s how you’ll find the best fit.” Doggie Depot, located at 1300 Central Blvd., Suite E in Brentwood, is open Tuesday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. For additional information, call 925-516-7224.

pampering you do, including penthouse suites, DirecTV and a dip in the pool – all locally. The family-owned Brentwood Pet Resort offers several of these amenities for travelers who want their pets to receive top-quality treatment when they’re away. Located at 600 Concord Ave., the resort emphasizes personal, loving care of its furry guests. The L’Amoreaux family – husband and wife Tim and Krissy, as well as daughters Lisa and Sara – is hands-on when it comes to treatment, welcoming personal suggestions from owners for the most pleasurable experience possible for the pet. “I was noticing that Brentwood needed a good care facility for pets,” Tim said. “There’s nothing like it in this area. We created something that we would want our pets to visit when we went on vacation.” The Brentwood Pet Resort has four penthouse suites as well as two other “condos” in the senior area, reserved for

2011 County Fair offers big savings The economy’s not out of the woods yet, and those at the Contra Costa County Fair are working hard to provide ways you can enjoy this year’s fair without spending an arm and a leg. The big event, held June 2-5 at the Contra Costa County Fairgrounds, 1201 W. 10th St. in Antioch, features a variety of ways to experience the fair at deeply discounted rates. One $8 ticket will buy a full day of quality, family-friendly entertainment. Discounted tickets – even free passes – are available to those on active military duty, seniors (62 and over) and early birds. The savings allow you to enjoy more than 100 exhibits on cooking, arts and crafts, fine arts, jewelry, horticulture and more. Tickets also encompass music from country group Whiskey Dawn, rockers The Lost Boys, and tribute bands such as Swift Country, saluting country star Taylor Swift; Paradise City, inspired by Guns N’ Roses; and Pyromania, playing Def Leppard’s greatest hits. Whiskey Dawn, one of California’s hottest country bands, performs Thursday, June 2. Featured regularly on area radio stations, the band has performed live with country superstars such as Brad Paisley, Faith Hill, Luke Bryan and Lady Antebellum. The Lost Boys take the stage Friday, June 3, rocking the house with a unique sound. The diversified group has opened for groups such as Journey, Foreigner, Kelly Clarkson and Tim McGraw.

If you’re looking to be transported back to the 1980s, The Spazmatics are the ticket.
