Seminar sheds light on zombie survival by Charlotte Cusack Correspondent “Zombies are never real – until they are. There’s no harm in being prepared and knowing how to survive,” said Mitch Kocen, one of three speakers at the Brentwood Library’s “Zombie Survival Seminar” last Wednesday. The Brentwood Community Center’s community room, where the seminar was held, was packed with approximately 80 students who were enthralled with the awesomely undead subject matter of zombies. The seminar was a pet project of Brentwood Library’s Youth Services Librarian Lindsay DuPont. “This is my dream because I’m totally into zombies. A lot of the kids here are super into it, too,” said DuPont, sporting a black T-shirt inscribed with “Zombie Research Society” on the front. Capitalizing on the cultural zeitgeist stirred up by “The Walking Dead,” a hit TV show on AMC, DuPont was pleased to have captured and sustained the attention span of the 10-17 demographic for two solid hours. “The zombie brains are actually focused,” she joked. Speakers Kocen, Dr. Bradley Voytek and Jack Foley offered up a variety of insights and survival tips to follow if a zombie apocalypse were ever to ravage the Bay Area. A neuroscience researcher at the Uni-

image that represented what he thought a zombie brain might look like. “You notice that whole parts of the zombie brain are missing,” he said. “We think this is because zombie brain damage patterns can explain their behavior.” As an example, Voytek recalled a patient he worked with who suffered damage to his cerebellum and exhibited the lurching, off-kilter zombie gait that terrifies intended victims – but allows them to escape the zombie pursuit with relative ease. “Because zombies don’t appear to be

able to form new memories, we’ve hypothesized that they must have amnesia, and that they’re missing their hippocampus,” said Voytek, citing the real-life example of a patient named H.M. Ricky Montalvo found the seminar stimulating and fun. “It’s fascinating,” he said. “I like the fact that he’s incorporating real science into his lecture.” Indeed, Voytek thrilled the audience by unveiling an actual human brain and welcomed the audience to line up, slip on gloves and touch it. An intrepid globetrotter and instructor for Trackers Bay, a Berkeley-based primitive skills program for youth, Foley channeled the intuition, invention and survival skills reminiscent of “The Hunger Games” and recommended Mt. Diablo as a good choice for a zombie-free sanctuary. “You can survive for three hours without shelter in bad weather, three days without water or three weeks without food,” he said. “If you don’t have that, you will straight up die.” Depending on how fast infection spreads following a zombie plague, and given the disintegration rate of the human body, Foley surmised, “If you can survive for approximately 33 days, you can probably survive a zombie apocalypse.” Author of the online guide “The Bay Area Guide To Surviving a Zombie Attack,” Kocen discussed the pros and cons see Zombie page 12A

California Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones says “Vote YES on S” “As California’s Insurance Commissioner, I am concerned that the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District is facing serious budget shortfalls that could significantly impact your homeowner’s insurance rates. Most insurance companies use a Public Protection Classification program that evaluates key areas of fire protection including the fire department’s—staffing, training and geographic distribution. Measure S on the June 5th ballot will protect your current fire protection service. Without Measure S, 50 percent of firefighters will be laid off and three fire stations will close. That leaves only eight firefighters daily to serve 105,000 residents and answer approximately 6,000 service calls each year. This could cause emergency response times to increase significantly. This increase could affect your ‘Public Protection Class’ ratings and increase your insurance rates. Measure S will give the Fire District the funding it desperately needs to maintain critical fire protection. An annual parcel tax of $197 (just 50 cents a day) will ensure adequate fire and emergency response services, and stop your insurance premiums from skyrocketing. I urge you to vote Yes on Measure S.”

Education fundraiser emits beneficent bouquet by Ger Erickson Staff Writer No one could be blamed for mistaking the event for a gathering of gourmands – elegant juice flowed from wine bottles and delectable aromas rose from bainmaries. But by the time approximately 200 folks had showed up and settled in at Hannah Nicole Vineyards and Winery for the Brentwood Union School District Education Foundation fundraiser last Friday, it was clear that the focus of the evening was students. “We’re thrilled to see this level of support from the community,” said Foundation President Dr. Wendy Herman of the annual Flavors of the Vineyard event. Each year the foundation emphasizes a different program to benefit the district’s 8,300 students in 10 schools. Funds raised from Friday’s extravaganza are earmarked for the foundation’s $50,000 pledge to launch an ingenious program. “We’re targeting technology this year,” said Herman. “And the money we raise will help fund a pilot program to supply students – elementary as well as middleschoolers – with iPads as learning tools in the classroom.” According to Foundation Board Member Lori Strauss, helping the district’s youngest scholars get a jump on the latest in learning technology is a vital element of the plan. “We’re still working out the details of the curriculum, but it’s very impor-

Tonight doesn’t relate directly to Odyssey, but the

foundation’s doing a tremendous job supporting our students in all sorts of ways.” Guests promenaded past tables pairing wineries with restaurants and caterers. Pouring standards such as chardonnay, cabernet and syrah, plus more exotic varietals such as viognier and petit verdot, were representatives of Bloomfield Vineyards, Hannah Nicole Vineyards and Winery, Tamayo Family Vineyards and Viano

Vineyards. Food was provided by BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse, Bowling Over Pigs, Brentwood Fine Meats, Farmer’s Daughter Produce & Coffee Bar, Nothing Bundt Cakes – Emeryville, Rubio’s Fresh Mexican Grill, Salad Makers, Scottie’s Shutters Brasserie, Sweeney’s Grill & Bar, TL Cakes, Vic Stewart’s and Willy’s Bagels & Blends. Although not queued up for the wine tasting, students were well represented in the form of the All-Middle School Wind Ensemble, under the joint direction of Cheryl Breitenbucher of Edna Hill Middle School, Lindsay Kellogg of Adams Middle School, and Mark Morello of Bristow Middle School. The ensemble serenaded the crowd with a spirited performance of selections ranging from classical to popular. Guests were also treated to a display of virtuoso pianistry by Bristow eighthgrader and San Francisco Conservatory of Music student Alex Marquez, who captured the chromatic romance of Chopin and the stormy drama of Beethoven. And the funk, rock, R&B, Motown, disco and Top 40 stylings of the band ThePlayThings, led by event emcee Steve Hanson – husband of Loma Vista 2012 Teacher of the Year Stacey Hanson – got the crowd shakin’.

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage Matters Bondo With summer right around the corner and one successful car show gearing up to take place – Brentwood’s own Blues Brews and BBQ, put on by the Police Activities League, sponsored by Pacific Funding Group and happening this weekend at The Streets of Brentwood – it’s safe to say our real estate market is bound to rev up. If you think about it, hot rods and real estate go hand in hand; both always show better in the summer without the rainy weather, and both for sale signs and muscle cars seem to multiply like sun beams between June, July, and August. So, with a statistical average of three prime summer months to purchase your dream muscle car (or home) what characteristics help to shorten your list? What should you immediately be searching for in order to cross out a few cars (or homes) and ensure you spend the most amount of time possible looking at the “winners?” Without going into too much detail, or too much bias one way or the other, I’d say bondo is a definite “no-no” in the world of car shopping. Unless you’re a do it “yourselfer” and can remove the body panel where the bondo is located, you’re wasting precious summer sunlight continuing to look at a car once you’ve been informed – or found out on your own – that bondo has been used in any type of repair job. That said, and to arm yourself against later heartbreak or agony, the magnet test is a GREAT tool for locating bondo. The magnet will hold to all of the metal on the car, but not any damaged areas that have been filled

and/or fixed with the body filler known as bondo. Applying the same above theory – how to save yourself later agony and at the same time help to shorten your list – to the real estate market let’s look at condos. From the outside, much like a car repaired with bondo, they look like a great deal. However, if you’re using an FHA loan to purchase a condo you’ll need to make sure UPFRONT that the condo and/or the condos development is FHA approved. Peeling back this layer is crucial for not later being heartbroken; if your offer FHA is accepted, but the condo and/or the condo development isn’t approved, there is nothing your lender can do. Period end of story, a non-FHA approved condo cannot be loaned on. But, as with the magnet test for bondo you can use FHA’s website to check condo approvals. https://entp.hud.gov/ idapp/html/condlook.cfm is a GREAT tool for verifying whether or not you’ll be able to obtain financing on a condo before you go to look at it. Whether you’re shopping your local real estate market, or your local swap meet make sure to arm yourself with the tools needed to protect your investment. This will guarantee you’re not left in the cold once winter comes back around!

No poop in the park Bag dispensers for dog waste are being installed at most parks in Oakley to help keep the parks clean and safe. Since pet waste can transmit disease, it’s important that dog walkers clean after their pets and dispose of the waste properly. Dogs are allowed in most park areas, but must be kept on leash and under control. “Most of the dog walkers act responsibly as public park users,” said Parks Division employee Juan Chavez. “There are some, however, who are inconsiderate and allow their dogs to defecate in the park – and make no attempt to pick up the dog feces and dispose of them properly in a waste receptacle. “Dog walkers should Photo courtesy of the City of Oakley always bring or carry a bag Oakley Parks Division employee Juan Chavez inwith them, but as a convestalls a dog waste bag dispenser at a local park. nience for those who forget, The dispensers facilitate dog owners’ cleanup afthe bags in the dispenser are ter their pets in the park. there for their use.

Program rewards academic excellence by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer When Cati Hoyt graduates from Liberty High School next month, she’ll take with her four years of memories and $1,000 in scholarships. Nikole Radford will do the same, using her $750 to close the gap on tuition to San Francisco State in the fall. For these Liberty High students, their college educations are looking brighter – and more financially secure – thanks in large part to the Liberty High School Local Scholarship Awards Program. “This is just one of the great ways the community supports its own students,” said Kelly Perkins, Liberty High School college and career counselor. “It’s a wonderful way to see our kids rewarded for their hard work. Without the money, many of them might not be able to afford college.” This year the program awarded more than $190,000 in scholarships to Liberty High students; the largest total since the program’s inception nearly 25 years ago. Funded and supported by local businesses, individuals and families, the Liberty scholarship program is unique in its commitment to the community and its support of its students. According to scholarship sponsor Ike Montanez, “The bottom line is that we do this because we want our kids to follow up on their educations, but also to encourage them to come back to the community if at all possible. I want our students to know the community is behind them and that we support them.” Radford is aware of the community’s support, and grateful for the opportunity the scholarships afford. “It’s amazing,” said Radford, who plans to major in biology at SFSU with an eye toward medical school. “With the amount of grants and see Excellence page 10A

East County residents can sleep a little easier at night: Given our more rural, less populated locale, we’d have a higher survivability rate than city dwellers. “I’ve loved zombies for as long as I can remember. They’re a way to tell a story about something else,” Kocen said. “‘Night of the Living Dead’ is about bigotry. ‘Dawn of the Dead’ is about consumerism. ‘Day of

the Dead’ is about the military getting out of control. Zombies are a force of nature, and they make for a compelling external thing keeping everyone in one place so that the real, interesting stories can get told.” Think you could survive a zombie apocalypse? Ninth-grader and zombie aficionado Tristan Gallagher seriously pondered the question before replying, “Probably. I was in Boy Scouts, so I know how to survive.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Zombie Survival Tips During their visit to the Brentwood Library’s Zombie Seminar last week, Dr. Bradley Voytek, Jack Foley and Mitch Kocen offered the following tips for surviving a zombie attack: Tip No. 1: Don’t try to fight them; they can outfight you. (They feel no pain.) Tip No. 2: Be quiet and wait it out. (They’ll forget you’re there.)

Tip No. 8: The human mouth is one of the most disgusting things ever. If you’ve been bitten, it wouldn’t hurt to take a really strong antibiotic.

Tip No. 3: Distract them. (They have pathetically short attention spans.)

Tip No. 9: Mobility is vital. Don’t ever get pinned down in any one location.

Tip No. 4: Try outrunning them. (They’re typically slow and clumsy.)

Tip No. 10: Zombies don’t fare well in the cold, so how fast can you move to Wisconsin?

Tip No. 5: If you have a gun, kill the brain and shoot the ghoul.

Tip No. 6: If you’re within spitting distance of a zombie, you’re too close. Tip No. 7: The woods aren’t out to get you. If you don’t fight it, nature can provide anything and everything.

Give us what we asked for: Vote Yes on S One of the important things for voters to remember as they cast their ballots on the Measure S fire tax for far East County is that we asked for it. As far back as the district’s formation in 2002 and even before, residents have insisted that far East County is longer a Bay DITORIAL no Area backwater, and we deserve and want the same level of modern fire service provided other suburbanized areas and established as the industry standard by the National Fire Prevention Association: three firefighters per engine, one of whom is a paramedic. The discussion has included literally dozens of public meetings over more than a decade. The need for standardized service has been confirmed by several reports from fire industry experts, county government analysis and even Local 1230, the union that represents ECCFPD firefighters. All have consistently reached the same conclusion: it is time for far East County to upgrade its fire service. Equally clear to everyone involved was that reaching that level of service would require additional tax money. District revenue, locked in by 1978’s Proposition 13 at 7 cents on the property-tax dollar, is enough to pay for only the volunteer departments that hero-

ically served the area for decades prior to the onrush of suburbia. Districts providing the modern fire service the ECCFPD has been asked to provide receive more than twice the revenue, 15 cents per tax dollar, to support those services. Just as a new tax was accepted as inevitable by all involved, it was also agreed that voters would never approve a new tax if money were to go to Martinez. District residents must be in charge of the district, it was believed, rather than the Board of Supervisors, who ran the ECCFPD when it was formed. The local control issue reared its head again in 2006, when the ECCFPD received a quote for contracted fire service from what was then the California Department of Forestry (CDF, now known as CalFire). The quote, based on the same three-firefighter, one-paramedic model already agreed to, showed CDF could provide the service for about $11.5 million, $470,000 less than the ECCFPD for the same job. The switch would also mean changing work schedules from 56-hour shifts to 72-hour shifts, and a change in guidelines for promotion, both of which Local 1230 opposed. But even the cheaper (by 4 percent) CDF model would require millions of more dollars in revenue than the district had. Faced with the need for more money in order to consider either option, the need for

local control once again became the top district priority. The CDF idea, along with the potentially divisive labor issue it contained, was shelved. Locals finally got their long-sought local control in 2010. The board started with the idea of going to the people with a measure that would put in place the service model people wanted, and fix the district’s financial woes once and for all. The continuing recession and blooming deficit from retirement benefits faced by virtually every public agency made that a pipe dream. The district’s biggest expense problems were systemic, complex and long-term, and could not be eliminated in the short time left before the district reserves ran out and services were radically reduced. With current post-employment benefits locked in, pension reform must take the form of a “second tier” of benefits for new hires. State law must be changed to make that possible, and a pair of bills to that end are currently working their way through Sacramento. But even when the two-tier system is adopted, the debt generated by those already in the system will continue to grow until those on the lower tier become the majority of the employees. Even if retirement benefits were eliminated entirely for second-tier employees, years would pass before that would make a significant impact on the district’s bottom

TO THE

“success” look like? Is it a firefighting operation using the nationally recognized incident management system with a complete complement of specific fire equipment operated by certified firefighters and certified company officers, who safely engage the interior of a structure fire with enough personnel to abide by OSHA’s hazardous atmosphere laws (when entering smoke-filled environments, for every two firefighters inside there must be a two-firefighter backup team in place for emergencies)? Or is it a truck full of part-timers following a fire engine driven by another parttimer, on their way to put out a smoldering house foundation. POC programs are great ways to help apprentice firefighters get experience but the scope of any POC program should be limited in size as to avoid turning the community of East County into a perpetual training ground for rookie firefighters and folks who use firefighting as a hobby. He also states that the underfunded pension program is too costly. Do we know what percentage of operational money has been allocated to pensions, specifically? It’s in the single digits! But his statement leads us to think that the firefighter’s retirement is bankrupting the district. Let us remember that firefighters not

line. Also years away are other ideas for solving the problem, including a complete overhaul of the county’s fire and emergency medical service system. The difficult process the ECCFPD underwent to get a nine-member board together on a plan would be many times harder if the solution were to include dozens of agencies and departments. But if Measure S fails in June, the district will run out of money in July. Half the district’s stations will close, and half its firefighters will be laid off. Opponents decry those facts as scare tactics, but although they are scary, they are reality. The political realities also mean that it could be years before a different measure can be agreed to and passed. Measure S is not perfect. It is not, and is not being sold as, a fix to all the district’s woes. It will enable the district to keep stations open while the permanent fix is hammered out and put in place. The need for benefit reforms has been acknowledged by Local 1230, and negotiations will continue on that in July. The paramedic portion of the tax, only about $10 per year, is not union-inspired. It is an element of the service model repeatedly asked for by district residents. If S passes, it will ultimately provide six paramedics in see Vote page 16A

only pay for retirement with 13 to 20 percent out of their base pay but also physically by accepting long-term health issues many acquire over their career. Let’s have an honest discussion about whether you feel they have earned this benefit and we as a community should support them or they simply are not entitled to it. Please be specific. Further clouding the issues, he relies on citing the City Gate report that supports contracting with CalFire. This begs the question: Who is City Gate? Is it the fire and emergency services consulting service run by a former state employee who worked out of Cal Fire’s Sacramento Office? Does City Gate employ multiple contractors from CalFire to provide services to their firm? Is this report truly unbiased? This is never stated by Measure S opponents. Instead, most attack ECCFPD firefighters over some union resistance. What specifically was the union upset about in the rules that made it resist CalFire? It might have something to do with increasing their hours from 56 to 72 a week and being told that all future promotional opportunities may require relocation of their families to either end of California. Maybe they have ownership in the community and want to stay here and serve without extending already long hours.

Obamacare is nothing like Measure S because its fundamental difference is that money from Measure S will go directly to our firefighters who protect us and our community. It will not feed the federal general fund, which is cut up and squandered on pet projects, rewarding the “lobbyist of the week.” Our local emergency response system is one of the last good investments of tax dollars available. You call, they come, every time. I hope our community votes to maintain our vital services. I would rather our firefighters get the money over the insurance companies, who will raise our rates if Measure S is defeated. Matt Brown Brentwood

Misinformation from Measure S opponent Editor: Dave Roberts put out a piece that attacked safety employees based on false numbers, false situations, and highly unlikely scenarios that were aimed at emotionally hitting voters. This is a slap in the face to all public safety personnel and we should not stand for it as a community. see Letters page 15A

MAY 25, 2012

I’ll be blunt and say that I don’t care if it’s a parcel tax of $197 a year, or $500 a year, we need to stop treating our fire and police personnel like second-class citizens. We are talking about public safety; I don’t give a damn about these guys’ pensions or retirement or whatever you want to call it, because without public safety, there is chaos in crisis. We need firefighters right now more than they need us. We should be supporting them, not giving them a public lashing! Unlike other public agencies, these guys are not taking advantage of the pension system, so it’s time to knock off the behavior of Mr. Roberts and the phony Contra Costa Taxpayers Association. Our firefighters are model citizens of the community. They enhance the community both on and off duty. We need to stop slapping them in the face with false information. This rhetoric going around that wants to punish the fire district and those who put their lives on the line for you and me should stop immediately. These guys should be applauded, not crucified. I would urge people to look into the facts and not let Dave Roberts or Kris Hunt sway your opinion over false numbers and phony arguments. Let’s pass this parcel tax and let’s buy 10 years to solve this problem once and for all and stay on top of the district each month to ensure it is working on a solution. Mr. Roberts is advocating he does not want to pay $2,200 over a 10-year period

but it appears he would rather ultimately pay double that (in a best case scenario) to the insurance companies. The reality is: you are either going to pay a little to ECCFPD or a lot more to your insurance company. No matter what anyone says, home insurance premiums never go down. With reduced fire services, premiums go up! The numbers Mr. Roberts used are wrong, misleading and a slap in the face to anyone who attended any of the fire board’s educational outreach sessions. If you go back and read Mr. Roberts’ submission and this time pay close attention, he played with his words to make it look like fact when really it’s an opinion. As a co-author in the argument against Measure S, I’d expect nothing less from him. His assumption that the district is top heavy clearly shows his naive views of public safety and how fire works. My guess is he has never visited any of our stations or met with our amazing crews. Truth is, this is one of the most un-top heavy districts around. Mr. Roberts, you are wrong. This department does have a revenue problem – not a spending problem. If Measure S fails, citizens of East County will soon have a service problem. It’s as simple as that. Rachel Spar Brentwood

Beware of Friends and Family Co-Signing and Joint Ownership by Joan Grimes, Esq. After being a bankruptcy attorney for over 25 years, there is one thing I know for sure – sooner or later one of your friends or family will ask you to co-sign a loan for them or ask you to buy something with them. It may be a car, boat, timeshare, vacation cabin, investment property or building. All you have to do is keep breathing and this will happen to you. Co-signing or buying anything with a friend or family member will have consequences. Here is just the tip of the iceberg. Co-signing on a loan to something will affect your credit. It increases your debt to income ratios and it will reduce your ability to get other loans. Your credit will take an immediate hit. When you co-sign on a loan or purchase agreement, you are jointly and severally liable on the whole obligation i.e. if the other person doesn’t pay, you are on the hook for the whole amount. The fact that you own only a portion of the boat, trailer, house, etc. per your agreement with the other owners is irrelevant to the lender. If the other co-signers stop paying, you’re responsible for the full balance still due and owing. Your credit score will fall if there is a default. It doesn’t matter if only 1 spouse signed. California is a community property state. One spouse can bind the other. There is a HUGE difference between cosigning on a personal loan and real estate loan. If you default on a personal loan even if it is secured by a boat, trailer or car, the worst thing that is going to happen is the lender will repossess the collateral and get a judgment against you for the deficiency balance on the loan. However, if you co-sign a real estate loan, that loan will be characterized as a recourse loan unless it is a non-recourse debt which in California means it was a loan used to purchase a 1-4 unit property and YOU live in the property.

If the loan is not a non-recourse debt and there is a default, there may be personal liability and tax liability. Never underestimate the IRS and California State Franchise Tax Board. When a lender determines that a debt is uncollectable, either because it is time barred or a deficiency is prohibited by state law or the parties agree to a settlement for less than the balance due and owing, the lender is REQUIRED to issue a Cancellation of Debtor Statement known as 1099c if the lender is forgiving $600 or more. You NEED to know your tax liability BEFORE you get the 1099c. There are ways to minimize the tax liability. Do not jeopardize your future. If your friends or family ask you to co-sign on a loan or buy something with them, JUST SAY NO. If you have the resources to GIVE them money, that is a better option. If you have already co-signed a loan and you think there is going to be a default on the loan, seek legal counsel immediately. This is a complicated area of the law, but a real estate or bankruptcy attorney should be able to make an analysis of your particular situation fairly quickly which will allow you to determine your personal liability and tax liability in the event of a default.

the district, which currently relies on three paramedics in quick response vehicles (QRVs) from American Medical Response for advanced lifesaving services. The AMR services are provided as an adjunct to the company’s contract with the county, which expires in two years but would not be affected by a Measure S failure. It is not known how QRVs will be affected when the contract comes back up for negotiation. As government waste and inefficiency impacts every portion of residents’ lives, and as residents go through financial difficulties of their own, it’s understandable that many would reject any request for more money for government services of any kind. The debate over Measure S has thus largely turned into one of taxpayers versus pensioners, with the major consequences of a failed measure taking a back seat to the need for reform. Measure S, if passed, will cost district residents about $16 per month ($197 per parcel per year and a maximum 3-percent cost-of-living adjustment per year). Unless voters extend it, the tax will go away in 10 years, during which permanent, far-reaching solutions to the benefit problem must be instituted. There is no need to wait 10 years to put solutions in place, however, and in fact the district will be once again looking at red ink if adjustments are not made in half that time. The question is how many firefighters will be on duty while the fixes are put in place. Measure S ensures the current model will stay in place, augmented by the paramedics the public has said it wants on fire

engines. An additional station will be opened in year four, in a location to be determined by call volumes at the time. If Measure S fails, the solutions must be worked out with half the personnel, half the stations, and response times that will jump from six or seven minutes to 14 or 15 minutes or more for half the district’s residents. Homeowners’ insurance for some residents in the Morgan Territory area quadrupled in the wake of the district’s closure of stations in 2010, and some policies were cancelled entirely, threatening the underlying mortgage. The same is likely to happen in other areas of the district should stations close, according to State Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones. We believe voters should pass Measure S in order to ensure critical fire service is maintained while long-term solutions that rely on state approval (the two-tier system) are put in place. It’s unfortunate that the district must ask for money when so many people are already hurting financially, but the reality is that the cost in human lives and property damage of subpar fire service stands to be far higher. Nine firefighters and three fire engines are not enough to answer the 6,000 calls per year the ECCFPD gets from 105,000 district residents over 250 square miles, but that’s what will be left if Measure S fails. The public should keep the pressure on the district to institute desperately needed reforms, but in the meantime it should avoid drastic cuts in public safety and approve this tax. It’s what we need, as well as what we asked for. Vote Yes on Measure S. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

After earning a first-round bye, the Deer Valley boys volleyball team dismissed Amador Valley from the North Coast Section playoffs in Friday’s second round. The No. 2 seed Wolverines beat the No. 7 Dons 25-16 in the first set, and finished them off 25-22 and 25-19. Senior opposite hitter Noah Labonte and freshman outside hitter Jordan Ewert each notched 13 kills. Junior middle blocker Marcus Lee was credited with eight kills. Junior setter Derrico Kwa drilled a team-best 18 service aces; Lee tallied 16. Ewert also led the team with seven digs while sophomore libero Bezhan Wahidi made six. Wolverines head coach Lou Panzella said that the team – himself included – was a bit rusty that night, after not competing for a week. Panzella wrote down the wrong lineup prior to the second game, a mistake he said happened for the first time in his long coaching career. “I felt like we struggled a little bit,” Panzella said. “As a team, they responded OK to it. … It was a tough 3-game match.” Deer Valley (37-3) advances to facd No. 3 Mission San Jose at home on Wednesday.

COMMUNITY

Busy week for local fire departments

No one was home at the time of the fire and no civilians were injured. One firefighter suffered second-degree burns on his hand. He was treated at a local hospital and is expected to make a full recovery. Roughly two hours later, ConFire responded to a house fire call in Clayton

that caused roughly $150,000 in damage. “Each structure fire response includes at least five fire units with three firefighters each and two chief officers for command and control purposes,” wrote Broschard. “When we receive multiple structure fires in a short period of time, it can tax the system and create stress on

the remaining emergency response needs of our community.” There was a fire-free break until roughly 3 a.m. Wednesday, when Antioch fire engines were called out to help the East Contra Costa Fire District in a twoalarm residential fire on Bethel Island. Two homes were burned to the ground and a third was nearly destroyed. “When we got there, the first two houses were completely involved and starting to fall apart,” said East Contra Costa Fire Protection District Fire Chief Hugh Henderson. “The people in the third house, including a former Bethel Island paid-on-call firefighter, were amazed we saved the house.” However, while the Bethel Island fire was being contained, local firefighters were also called on to assist rescue efforts in the aftermath of a head-on collision between an SUV and a four-door sedan on Marsh Creek Road near Hoffman Lane at roughly 5 a.m. Wednesday morning. Four East Contra Costa firefighters and three CalFire firefighters responded. Five people were involved in the accident – two suffered major injuries and three suffered minor injuries. Two medical helicopters were used for transport. The cause of the collision is still under investigation. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

by Rick Lemyre Staff Writer Local fire departments battled fires and responded to a car accident this week, keeping firefighters busy throughout East County. Much of the fire action started Tuesday. According to a press release from Contra Costa Fire Protection District Fire Marshal Lewis Broschard, crews were dispatched at 4:04 p.m. to a commercial structure fire in the 2100 block of Railroad Avenue in Pittsburg at the Quality Tune Up facility. A disgruntled employee had allegedly thrown gasoline on some equipment in the business and set it on fire. This fire came just a few minutes after ConFire reported flames in Concord. Employees controlled the Pittsburg fire with multiple portable extinguishers, and firefighters were released shortly thereafter. The investigation of the incident is ongoing. As firefighters were taming the Pittsburg fire, they received a report of blazes on the 5100 block of Sundance Court in Antioch. The first engine discovered heavy fire involvement in the back bedroom of the home’s second floor. Firefighters were able to bring the fire under control within 15 minutes.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 2665 TAYLOR RD, OAKLEY, CA, 94511. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. The total amount of the unpaid balance with interest thereon of the obligation secured by the property to be sold plus reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $625,135.70. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept cashier’s checks drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank speciﬁed in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. Said

sale will be made, in an ‘’AS IS’’ condition, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. If required by the provisions of section 2923.5 of the California Civil Code, the declaration from the mortgagee, beneﬁciary or authorized agent is attached to the Notice of Trustee’s Sale duly recorded with the appropriate County Recorder’s Ofﬁce. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on a property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstand-

ing liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 1-800-281-8219 or visit this Internet Web site www.recontrustco. com, using the file number assigned to this case TS No. 12-0009566. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. RECONTRUST COMPANY, N.A. 1800 Tapo Canyon Rd., CA6-914- 01-94 SIMI VALLEY, CA 93063 Phone: (800)

as toddlers, kids and tweens learn athleticism and social skills, all while having a good time. “Kids learn by having fun,” said Jim Lark, who opened the franchise in 2008 with his wife, Paige. Three sons under the age of 10 – one with special needs – has impressed on the Larks the importance of physical activity in child development. This summer they’re offering Kids Camps on Thursdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to noon. Each week features a new theme, including Superheroes; Legends, Fables, Folklore; My Animal Planet; and of course, The Little Gym Olympics. Children participate in games, music and fun creative movement as they exercise their imaginations and their muscles. Classes cost $40 per day, and discounts are available for gym members and multiple children. Parents can also purchase punch cards that reduce the per-class rate to $25. In year-round classes, The Little Gym’s primary focus is gymnastics. Non-competitive movement classes are offered ON THE COVER: Jim Lark helps a young student with her footwork on the balance beam at Little Gym in Brentwood.

for children as young as 4 months and as old as 12 years. For infants and toddlers, parents work with their children on trunk, arm and leg exercises to help them become what Lark calls “independent movers.” Other activities, such as bubble blowing, stimulate brain development and cognitive abilities. Toddlers become more conﬁdent, coordinated and comfortable in groups, and even learn how to walk on a supervised balance beam.

Once the children turn 3, they take classes in the gym by themselves, though Mom and Dad can watch through the big windows in the lobby. “We’re trying to encourage a little more independence,” said Lark. “It’s virtually a seamless transition.” The 3- and 4-year-olds practice listening and taking turns as they learn basic gymnastic movements.

While students improve their motor skills under the watchful eyes of Little Gym staff (in this case, owner Jim Lark) their parents can keep an eye on how it’s going from the relative seclusion of the viewing room, seen in the background.

Little Gym from page 3B students learn standard USA Gymnastics routines plus foundational moves such as forward rolls and handstands. “Developmentally, you can’t go wrong with gymnastics,” Lark said. “You’ve got so many physical elements that are incorporated.” In addition to gymnastics, The Little Gym offers karate, sports and dance classes for children 3½ to 8. Experienced teachers emphasize the basics of the chosen activities of the children, who gain valuable skills to help them continue advancing, whether in competitive athletics or just for fun. The business also offers gym members Parent Survival Nights, at which kids watch a movie and enjoy themed activities while Mom and

Dad take a few hours off. The lessons learned in classes apply directly to kids’ everyday lives, such as the time a toddler managed to tuck in his head and roll forward to avoid injury when he fell down the stairs. Parents refer to these times as Little Gym Moments and enthusiastically recount them to the Larks. Jim and Paige, for their part, enjoy seeing kids get excited about ﬁtness and hearing about the beneﬁts they see at home. “Those are the neat stories where this applies outside the classroom.” The Little Gym, located at 3850 Balfour Road, Suite K, is open daily from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information, call 925-6340034 or visit www.tlgbrentwoodca.com.

Pain-free summer play

ummer vacation gives kids a break from schoolwork, but for many, their participation in

sports will continue in warm weather months. Parents, coaches and players need to keep injury prevention in mind to ensure sports stay safe and fun throughout the summer. In a new survey commissioned by Safe Kids Worldwide and Johnson & Johnson, “Coaching Our Kids to Fewer Injuries: A Report on Youth Sports Safety,” parents report one in three kids who play team sports sustain injuries severe enough to require medical attention.

“The report’s ﬁndings are particularly alarming because experts tell us more than half of these injuries are preventable,” said Kate Carr, president and CEO of Safe Kids Worldwide. “There’s a gap between what we as coaches and parents can do to keep our kids safe and what we’re actually doing. With some simple precautions, we can change these troubling statistics and keep our kids healthy and enjoying the beneﬁts of sports.” Safe Kids shares some advice for parents and coaches to help kids avoid injury while playing sports this summer: ♦ Give kids a break.

Minds from page 11B family makes the most of the warmer months. Keep these ideas in mind and make them a part of your family’s schedule and help your kids stay physically and mentally active: ♦ See the great outdoors on a weekend camping trip or a daylong hiking excursion. Setting up camp and hiking in the wilderness combine active fun and learning. Bring nature guides that give you detailed information about the trees, plants, animals and insects that live in the area and try to identify the things you see. If you’re out on a day hike, be sure to include wholesome snacks with protein, which serves as a healthy source of energy for an active outing. Lance Sandwich Crackers’

Play from page 13B Medicine (AOSSM) say children should take a two- to three-month break from a speciﬁc sport each year to prevent overuse, overtraining and burnout. Yet the Safe Kids survey found that nine out of 10 parents underestimate the length of time kids should take off from a particular sport. If your children play soccer from August through May, for instance, switch to a different sport over the summer. Not only will it give their bodies a break, they might enjoy discovering a new activity. ♦ If your children missed a preparticipation physical evaluation (PPE) at the beginning of the school year, take this opportunity to have them checked out. A PPE can uncover underlying

They’re easy to pack and available in more than two dozen varieties. ♦ Enjoy an interactive learning experience with a trip to the museum. Children’s museums are a perfect choice, but check out art, science and other museums’ family-oriented programs or exhibits. Some museums even waive entry fees during summer or provide discounted rates. Whether you’re out enjoying the sunshine and natural beauty of the season or inside on one of those occasional rainy days, fun and learning can go hand-in-hand from spring into summer.

A light run, jogging in place and some jumping jacks can help raise the heart rate gradually. Follow up with stretches that work all the major muscle groups, holding each stretch for 20 to 30 seconds. ♦ Make sure your child wears the appropriate safety and sports gear.

Cash tribute slated for Memorial weekend As a teenager, James Garner met Johnny Cash backstage after a show and told Cash he could sing his songs. That was almost 20 years ago, and Garner has been working on his Tribute to Johnny Cash ever since. Garner’s Cash Tribute takes the stage at The Grand in Tracy on Friday, May 25. “I doubt that Cash was much interested in my remark, but after receiving a tape of his music, I was hooked,” said Garner, who lives in Northern California. “I began singing Cash’s songs, playing his music, and started the band in 2006.” Equally important is the band backing Garner with the signature boom-chickaboom sound of the Tennessee Three. Denny Colleret, Rick Duncan and Steve Hutton deliver the familiar clear and crisp sound found on every Johnny Cash record. Then there are the stories Garner recounts about Cash’s life and career intertwined with his own anecdotes about America’s most beloved singing

storyteller. “I first heard James and his band at a winery in 2010,” said John Zurflueh of Starbright Productions. “I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I mean, his voice is just absolutely incredible and the musicians were just perfect. Having been an avid Johnny Cash fan since the ’60s, I knew right away this was a special group. “People need to know the difference between a band that covers several artists or groups versus a band like James and his Cash Tribute. These guys are dedicated to the iconic music of Johnny Cash and it comes through big-time in their performance … if ever there was anyone born to do anything, it’s James Garner singing and playing Cash songs – which explains why their audiences continue to grow.” For tickets and more information, visit www.cashtribute.net, www.atthegrand.org, or call the box office at 209-831-6858.

Soak up safe summer sun “Surf, sand and sun” describe the archetypal California summer experience. But although the Gold Coast is a prime getaway for a tan, wise vacationers won’t succumb to the temptation. According to the American Cancer Society, more than 7,000 Californians will be diagnosed with melanoma this year. In observance of Don’t Fry Day – Friday, May 25 – the board-certified oncologists at Epic Care, Partners in Cancer Care, are sharing life-saving tips to help prevent skin cancer, the most common form of cancer in the United States. “Melanoma, although the most severe skin cancer, can have a 97-percent survival rate if caught early enough,” said Epic Care radiation oncologist Dr. Michael Forrest. “It’s tempting to soak up the sun as it warms up, but we’re asking for people to protect their skin first.” Three items are necessary to protect the skin from damaging UV rays, said Forrest: “Sunscreen is key when you’re outside. But make sure it’s applied correctly and in adequate quantity.” His rule for sunblock: 2-30. “It takes about two tablespoons of sunblock to cover your entire body and should be applied 30 minutes before you actually go outside.” This gives the skin enough time to absorb the lotion, and the lotion enough time to become an effective UV-ray blocker. Forrest also reminds everyone to reapply every few hours, after drying off or after exces-

sive sweating. Hats, sun-protective clothing, and sunglasses are other items Forrest recommends to help block the sun. Widebrimmed hats can help shield the nose, ears, shoulders and scalp from burns. “It takes only one bad sunburn in childhood to double your chances of developing melanoma later in life,” said Forrest. The last weapon in Forrest’s arsenal is a mirror. “It’s crucial to know every mole and freckle on your body,” he said. “Any change can signify a problem and should be checked by a doctor immediately.” Self-exams are recommended more frequently for those who have fair skin, atypical moles and/or freckles, or a history of severe burns. When examining moles, remember A-B-C-D-E: A is for ASYMMETRY: One half of a mole or birthmark doesn’t match the other. B is for BORDER: Normal spots have smooth edges. Cancerous spots can have irregular, ragged, notched or blurred edges. C is for COLOR: The color is not the same throughout and might include shades of brown or black, or patches of red, white or blue. D is for DIAMETER: Benign moles are about the size of a pencil eraser – about ¼ inch. Anything larger is worrisome. E is for ELEVATED: A spot that rises

above skin level is another warning sign. Also important is avoiding midday sun (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.), sun bathing, and tanning salons. “You needn’t avoid the sun altogether,” said Forrest. “But protect yourself with your own arsenal against skin cancer this summer.

Caring for problem skin According to the National Institutes of Health, skin is the largest organ of your body. Unfortunately, for those who suffer from skin conditions such as eczema, caring for and maintaining skin can be a daily challenge. Eczema is a chronic, inflammatory condition characterized by dry, itchy skin and visible skin rash. More than 35 million Americans – children and adults – suffer from eczema. The National Eczema Association emphasizes daily skin care as essential to managing eczema. • When bathing, wash in warm water for five to 10 minutes. • Use a non-irritating and fragrance-free wash. Don’t scrub your skin harshly. • Moisturize within three minutes after every shower to lock in your skin’s natural moisture to prevent eczema-related dryness. • Apply a cold compress to soothe your skin. Look for gentle, fragrance-free washes and moisturizers such as Neosporin Essentials, a line of skincare products that includes a daily body wash, daily moisturizing cream and anti-itch cream designed for people with eczema. Each product has a unique Relipid formula, which contains a lipid, humectant, emollient and botanical blend to retain the moisture essential for healthy-looking skin. – Courtesy of Family Features

Volunteers brighten seniors’ lives

of fun (including those daring enough to join in on his karaoke machine). Jack Convery brings his banjo, Ed Garzinsky his accordion and Dan DeSouza his guitar. Cortona residents get to hear spectacular singers Trusting Caliope (Jill and Susannah) and the remarkable Peter Arce, who can play anything on his piano – just hum a few notes of the tune, and away he goes. Accompanying Peter is his lovely wife, Victoria, who enjoys serving the wine that makes the song go down even finer. Entertainers also include Johnny Rocket and the Candy Wrapper, plus the exquisite Denise Walker, who inherited her sensational voice from her dad – a member of the original Platters! My husband and I had a load of fun at Cortona’s New Year’s Eve party dancing to the band Local Ease. Although the ball dropped at 9 p.m., the place was as festive as Time’s Square at midnight. My mom is always telling me about the schoolchildren who often visit Cortona Park, singing, dancing or bringing treats they’ve made with their little hands and huge hearts.

Calling bingo are Betty and Ken Hopkins, and local teen Tyler Cowling, who’s a dead ringer for Justin Bieber. Even the Avon lady, Tammy Lynn, sets up her wares in the lobby to make shopping convenient and always offers a bunch of items on sale – or simply makes generous deals. Jean Denton comes every week to play cards and dice games with her favorite seniors. Cheryl recently held a volunteer recognition event honoring those who donate their valuable time. Cheryl also organizes bus trips to local U-Pick farms and orchards, wine tours to Livermore and wonderful musicals and plays. For those with the itch to gamble, trips to the closest casino are also arranged. Some

of these are free and some require only a minimal fee. I keep telling mom that she lives on a waterless cruise ship! There are several wonderful places in our area such as Cortona Park and Westmont Senior Living, and they all provide not only activities, but safety and joy. They’re true families – and the volunteers get the very best of it: applause, smiles, hugs and kisses. They even let me dance, but the jury’s still out on my singing. Marla Luckhardt is a Discovery Bay resident and member of the East Contra Costa Senior Coalition. She works with several local senior care and advocacy groups.

Everyone knows how much I enjoy spending time with seniors – and I’m not alone. Although I can’t really sing or dance (try as I might), a lot of people with exceptional talent share it with seniors at several of the local senior living lodges. I spoke with Cortona Park Senior Activities Director Cheryl SENIOR Ortiz about the many ORNER fine locals who come to entertain Cortona’s residents or simply share time with them. Since the residents aren’t as mobile most of us, the visits are a welcome diversion from the daily routine. MARLA In addition to LUCKHARDT bingo and card games and movies, happy hour is a popular time at all these residences. It’s an opportunity to hear entertainers such as guitarist Michael Kistner singing songs that bring back memories, and Dave McClellan, whose powerful voice and warm smile make for a whole lot

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney.

In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept cashier’s checks drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state. Said sale will be made, in an ‘’AS IS’’ condition, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. If required by the provisions of section 2923.5 of the California Civil Code, the declaration from the mortgagee, beneficiary or authorized agent is attached to the Notice of Trustee’s Sale duly recorded with the appropriate County Recorder’s Office. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on a property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 1-800281-8219 or visit this Internet Web site www.recontrustco.com, using the file number assigned to this case TS No. 12-0004914. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

OBITUARIES Harold Harris

Charles A. “Chuck” Richards

Dec. 4, 1931-May 17, 2012 Brentwood resident Harold Harris passed away after a long battle with cancer. He was predeceased by daughter Julie. He is survived by his beloved wife of 62 years, Dorothy Ralls Harris; his children, Harold Jr. and wife Carin of Brentwood; Deborah of Little Rock, Ark.; Kathy of Brentwood; Russell and wife Cora of Litchfield; and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Harold retired from Fiberboard after 33 years. A memorial is being held for family and friends Sunday, May 27 at 1 p.m. at 1272 Dainty Ave., Suite C in Brentwood.

Dec. 19, 1955-May 8, 2012 Brentwood resident Chuck Richards died of kidney failure at Kaiser Hospital in Antioch at the age 56. He lived in Brentwood since the age of 13, attending Knightsen Elementary School and Liberty High School, from which he graduated in 1975. Chuck worked as a landscape gardener for a number of years and then as a custodian for the Brentwood School District for 15 years. He retired from the school district six years ago. Having grown up in Brentwood, Chuck had many longtime friends in the area. His favorite activities were fishing in the Delta, rooting for the Oakland Raiders and visiting with friends. He was known as a kind, generous and loyal friend who went a little nuts when “his” Raiders were not doing well. He owned an extensive collection of Raider memorabilia. Chuck is survived by his parents, Charles and Mary Richards; sister, Cheryl Richards; and nephews, Dillon and Dominic Gallegos, all of Brentwood. He loved his family and was extremely proud of his two nephews. His passing creates a hole in our hearts, as he was much loved. There will be no public service.

Barbara Ann Kennedy April 29, 1951-May 16, 2012 Brentwood resident Barbara Kennedy, 61, passed away on May 16, 2012 of pancreatic cancer. She is survived by her husband of 20 years, Donald Kennedy, and her two sisters, Beverly Tezak of Denver, Colo. and Sharon Haley of Houston, Texas. The family wishes to thank the dedicated and caring staff of Bruns House in Alamo.
