I have spent the last few weeks attending trainings, webinars and seminars from lenders such as Chase, Wells Fargo and Bank of America, and it is clear they are all pushing Short Sales. Yikes you may say! The lenders may now be paying you to do a short sale! As a Priority Agent for Chase, I attended a training in Sacramento for the roll out of this program. It has been tested over the past 6 months and proven to be effective. Chase will pay up to $35,000 to short sale your home, you also could be eligible for the HAFA $3,000 in addition. The amount they may offer depends on many variables but the offer letters will be going out from June to September. Wells Fargo and Bank of America are expected to offer similar programs.

Lovers of beer, blues and barbecue got their fill of all three last weekend at the second Blues, Brews & BBQs event benefiting the Brentwood Police Activities League. “It went really, really well,” said PAL President Jeff Altman. “We raised about $75,000 gross, so once we pay the bills we’ll see what we have left to give out.” All proceeds from the event will be distributed to PAL and the many nonprofit organizations that helped run the event. A chilly wind that kept crowds low on Saturday evening yielded to fabulous weather on Sunday, and enthusiastic folks looking for fun. “It’s neat the way you can walk around, have some barbecue, shop in some of the stores, and let the kids have some fun in the box races racing or coloring,” said Arlie Nevrija, who brought her whole

six-member family. “By the time you get from one end to the other, there’s something to make everyone happy.” Altman said the event’s success is partly due to collaboration: this year, organizers teamed up with the Delta Blues Festival for the entertainment, and will in turn help that Antioch event when it rolls around on Sept. 15. “There’s a lot of synergy, just like there is with all the nonprofits,” Altman said. “It’s all one big community working for a common goal: to support the kids.” Nonstop music, a car show, kids’ games and local vendors enhanced the event, which drew 35 cooks from three states to the competition. “The barbecuers were really happy; they love this event,” Altman said. “This has really put East County on the map, as far as barbecue goes.” For a list of winners and more pictures, visit www.thepress.net.

Bike donations surprise nonprofit by Justin Lafferty Staff Writer When the Dow Chemical Company’s Pittsburg office announced that it was giving away more than 100 bicycles – to a nonprofit, it hoped – Delta 2000 executive director Susie Dove’s expectations were for one or two bikes. She got them all. Dow decided to give away the bicycles – which employees use to travel from plant to plant and avoid using their cars – following the purchase of a new, safer fleet of tricycles. Patty Deutsche, Dow’s Senior Manager of Public Affairs, put out a call to nonprofits in the area, asking if they wanted used bikes. Dove responded immediately, asking for only a couple. “When Patty sent out the e-mail, I thought, ‘Oh my god, there’s probably going to be 100 people trying to get these bikes,’” Dove said. “I called her right away. We’ve been giving out bikes along the years to kids who need them, but not on a scale like this.” Delta 2000 is an Antioch-based hub of nonprofits that help people all over East County. The organization works with nonprofits to help them gain 501(c)3 tax-exempt status, and now houses a couple dozen organizations, such as the Elderly Wish Foundation and the Child Abuse Prevention Council. What impressed Deutsche the most was how Dove didn’t plan to simply give away the bikes to kids, but use them as a learning opportunity. Dove said the organization will teach low-income children how to maintain a

Delta 2000 Executive Director Susie Dove with Dow’s donation of more than 100 used bicycles. bicycle so that they’ll always have a safe and reliable way to get to school or work – and learn new skills. “This is a win-win situation by Dow’s standards,” Deutsche wrote in a press release. “We love the idea that the bikes are going to kids who need to go to school or work. But we especially like the idea that the kids will be learning at the same time – not just maintenance but responsibility and maybe even the skill of teaching others. The fact that this is all

right in our backyard was a bonus.” Ideally, students in need of community service time will do it through Delta 2000. Dove would like to set up a program in which students gain hours by teaching their classmates how to repair and maintain bicycles. Dove also hopes that owning a bike of their own will instill in kids a sense of responsibility and pride. The program will encourage students to repair as well as paint the bicycles, engaging the kids’ artistic impulses. “Right now, we get a lot of court-order and community-service teens that have to do hours for summer school,” Dove said. “Our hope is to create a program through that, working with those kids who can educate other kids.” Dow workers dropped off the used bikes – many of which are in dire need of some TLC – last Thursday. Dove plans to start distributing the bicycles to low-income and disadvantaged youth later this month, after school has finished for the spring. Now that Delta 2000 has all these bicycles, it’s looking for more help from the community. The organization seeks bike stands, tools, toolboxes or any other equipment that would come in handy for bike repair. For more information or to donate items, call Delta 2000 at 925-779-1404 or email Dove at susie.dove@yahoo.com.

CornFest to husk for world record by Samie Hartley Staff Writer Celebrating 20 years of CornFest splendor is quite the achievement, but this year’s community gathering could go down in the record books – the Guinness World Records Book, to be exact. This year’s CornFest, scheduled for July 13 through 15, will be held at the corner of Brentwood Boulevard and Technology Way, near Jack in the Box. Although construction of the new downtown Civic Center was recently completed, a project that forced the CornFest to relocate from downtown last year, the city and Chamber of Commerce are reluctant to subject the pristine landscape on Second Street to the

beating likely to be dealt out by the thousands attending this year’s event. To make this year’s event extra special, the chamber is setting its sights on an ambitious goal. The Guinness World Record for the Most People Husking Corn – currently held by Southern California’s Knott’s Berry Farm at 351 – is a mark CornFest officials believe they can beat. “We wanted to do something fun for the 20th anniversary,” said Chamber Board Member Dirk Zeigler. “We’re still working out all the details, but we plan to attempt to break the record sometime on Saturday afternoon.” The Chamber will also be marking the CornFest’s 20th birthday with an expanded fireworks show on Friday, July

13 at 9:40 p.m. “We’re looking forward to another exciting year,” said Chamber Event Coordinator Jilda Fairhurst. “We’re going to put on a big fireworks show, and we’ve got a great line up of entertainment. And of course, there will be plenty of corn.” This year’s CornFest will feature traditional attractions such as the carnival and kids’ zone. More than 200 vendors will set up shop, and live entertainment will occupy two stages. This year’s lineup is scheduled to include Public Eye, Pablo Cruise, Rodeo House and Malo. CornFest admission is $10; $5 for youth and seniors. For more information about this year’s event, visit www. brentwoodchamber.com.

East Bay Idol – puttin’ on the glitz It’s back – so ladies, this year don your blond Marilyn wigs and glamorous gowns. Gentlemen, assume your Paul Newman cool or James Dean sultry aura. Or transform yourself into a star of any Hollywood era and come as yourself. Costumes are fun, but optional. The Byron-Delta Lions’ (of Discovery Bay) third annual East Bay Idol takes the stage Sunday, June 10 at the DeLuna Ranch in Brentwood. The event features a fun-for-all, combo karaoke singing com-

petition (for prize money), plus dinner and dancing. “This event has helped us raise tens of thousands of dollars to continue our support of numerous local children’s charities,” said Lions President Paulette Doyle. “This event is great fun event for everyone, and we’re proud to bring it back. This year we’re positively thrilled with a generous sponsorship from Brentwood’s Precision Cabinets.” Last year’s “Summer of Love” theme

brought out born-again flower children. This year the spotlight shines “Hooray for Hollywood,” featuring glamour, a stars’ Walk of Fame, and live music by the Summerset Big Band. The karaoke DJs, Dave and Christina of DC Enterprises, plus Famous Dave’s barbecue make their encore appearances. Admission is $25.

Welcome home from Habitat East Bay

Photo by Jeff Goodwin

Jacob Lozano enjoys playing with the symbolic key to his family’s new home in Antioch, Habitat for Humanity East Bay’s ﬁfth sweat-equity project in the city. Prior to moving to Antioch, the family lived in a small apartment in Pittsburg, where Jacob shared the one bedroom with his parents, and Jose was forced to sleep on a sofa in the living room. There was very little room for storage and not much of a yard. Ricardo is two years into a four-year apprenticeship as an ironworker in San Francisco. He plans to return to school and eventually become a foreman in the

ironworker field. Since Jacob is so young, Haidi stays at home and takes care of him full-time. She finds time to volunteer at a preschool in Concord, though, and hopes to return to school (she has an associates degree in medical office administration) to earn her master’s degree. Jose, who owned his own janitorial business years ago, hopes to do so once again. The Lozano Muro home is one of five

that HEB has renovated in partnership with the City of Antioch. The Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) is designed to help renovate foreclosed homes in order to help address the problems caused by the large number of abandoned properties that can create blight in neighborhoods. The NSP program is working through the City of Antioch’s Community Development Department, which has provided HEB support through a $1 million grant that will allow HEB to help renovate existing homes in Antioch. Habitat East Bay is one of the Bay Area’s leading green affordable homebuilders. In addition to five homes in Antioch, HEB has renovated 10 foreclosed homes in Bay Point, 14 homes in Hayward and one foreclosed home in Emeryville. HEB is active in other locations throughout the East Bay, having targeted more than 55 houses for construction or renovation. Praised for its success in creating home ownership opportunities for families with limited incomes, HEB is the largest Habitat affiliate in Northern California. It has been creating sustainable housing and revitalizing neighborhoods for more than 24 years, serving more than 350 families throughout Alameda and Contra Costa counties.

Habitat for Humanity East Bay (HEB) celebrated the completion of its fifth housing project in Antioch last month when the Lozano Muro family moved into its newly renovated home. During the dedication, the family, who worked side-by-side with volunteers on the construction crew, contributing 250 hours of sweat equity in lieu of a down payment, received the ceremonial keys to their new three-bedroom house on St. Frances Drive. Although modest in size, the rehabilitated home features a number of green and energy-efficient features, including a new light colored “cool roof,” new insulation, low VOC paint, Energy Star appliances, dual pane windows, updated lighting, lowflow toilets, new laminate flooring and tile and a 90-percent efficient furnace. Family members are Ricardo Lozano, Haidi Muro, their 7-month-old son, Jacob, and Haidi’s father, Jose. Ricardo and Haidi both came to the United States from Zacateca, Mexico in search of a better life – Haidi at the age of 4 and Ricardo in his teens. Now, more than 20 years after Haidi’s family emmigrated, the couple has moved into its own home for the first time. “Owning our own home means everything to us,” Haidi said, “because this gives our son a stable place to call home. This little guy has been our inspiration, since day one, to become homeowners and give him a real home that will help him be successful as he grows up.”

$30K TO DO SHORT SALE? Bank of America recently made a MAJOR announcement in regards to their short sale program. They may pay a short sale seller from $2,500 to $30,000 at the successful completion of a short sale. This is NOT for all BofA short sales, so the details are important. This is only for BofA’s “pro-active” short sale program, which means the borrower and/ or their agent must approach BofA PRIOR to receiving an offer. You must start this process by 12/31/12 and close escrow by 9/26/13. I asked BofA if this was just for first mortgage loans and the rep on the phone said they thought so, but couldn’t confirm that 100%. The exact amount the homeowner will receive is determined by a calculation involving the value of the house, the mortgage balance and several other factors. Not all BofA loans will qualify for this program. If you don’t already have a relationship with a real estate agent, give me a call and I can start the ball rolling for you with BofA to find out if you qualify. I’ve closed many of their pro-active short sales so I’m very familiar with the process. In their

pro-active program, you don’t even put your home on the market until they have approved the short sale ahead of time. This means when you do go on the market it is as a “preapproved” short sale and the response times are much faster this way. REMINDER: FREE LOAN MOD/ SHORT SALE SEMINAR COMING IN JUNE. I will be doing a one-hour free seminar to discuss loan mods, short sales and foreclosures. We’ll discuss how they work, how they impact your credit and how the expiration of the Mortgage Forgiveness Act at the end of this year impacts you. There will be time for Q&A, as well.

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!

Timber Point earns green grant funds by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer Environmental awareness and green philosophies are nothing new to Amanda Bernard; after all, her school curriculum has revolved around the concept for years. So when the Timber Point Elementary School teacher conjured up the idea for a campus farmers’ market, she viewed it as just another opportunity to support the school’s go-green agenda. Little did she know it would turn out to be green in more ways than one. “Over the years we have received some grants for things like our gardening beds and a greenhouse,” said Bernard, who teaches

third grade. “So when my principal asked if I was interested in applying for this grant, I said yes.” The grant is called the Green + 1 Challenge, and is funded by the Synopsys Outreach Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports students and teachers in their efforts to develop science projects. Awarded to just 10 schools throughout the state, the $2,000 grant is presented each year to programs designed to make a positive and measurable impact on the environment. This year Timber Point was one of the schools chosen from a field of more than 100 see Green page 9A

Green from page 8A entries. The proposals were reviewed by a panel of judges from UC Berkeley, Our City Forest in San Jose and the Environmental Defense Fund. Bernard said she was “thrilled and honored” to have been selected. According to Synopsys President Ross Robinson, “Our judges had a difficult time choosing the winning recipients because we received so many excellent entries from across California. The grant to Timber Point will provide a terrific ‘green’ experience for the students and make a measurable impact on the environment.” And the work has already begun. Expecting the first installment of the grant to arrive by September, Bernard has contacted local nurseries to see what types of flowers and vegetables can be planted in the fall.

“By the time school starts up again we will already be well on our way,” said Bernard, whose project will include kindergarten through fifth grade, with a future eye toward including the preschool community as well. “I think we’ll probably begin with topping off the organic soils we already have in our gardening boxes and taking it from there. We’re going to be teaching the kids about organic gardening, soil testing, composting and then help them really get into growing the produce.” The end result, said Bernard, will be to open a mini farmers’ market on campus where the school community and public can purchase freshly grown, organic produce and flowers. “The kids are really, really excited,” said Bernard. “They just want to know when we can start. I think it’s going to be a really fun project.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer For the hundreds of local students who rely on their district’s free lunch program, the need doesn’t stop when the school bell rings for summer. Fortunately in Brentwood, Oakley and surrounding areas, no child will be forced to go hungry when school lets out. The reason: the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), funded by the Department of Agriculture and available to children 2 to 18 during the summer months when classes aren’t in session. “This is our third year of providing the program, and it’s open to all children in the community,” said Phyllis Thivierge, coordinator of food services for the Brentwood Union School District. “It’s good for the kids, and the parents are grateful to not worry about where their children’s lunch will be coming from.” Originally founded as part of a larger pilot food program in 1968, the SFSP became a separate program in 1975. Open to any community in need, there is no enrollment, paperwork or income qualifications required to participate. An SFSP can be housed at a local school site, community center or city facility with the space to accommodate the operation. Staffed, run and organized by local individuals or organizations, the SFSP reimburses sponsors for the cost of the food. Throughout the years, the program has served nearly 3 million children nationwide. In Oakley, where the program is being

launched at three of its district’s school sites – Iron House Elementary, Oakley Elementary and Vintage Parkway Elementary – lunches will be available free of charge to children and teens both inside the district and out. “We don’t ask questions; we don’t care where they come from,” said Cheryl Wagner, director of Nutrition Services with the Oakley Union Elementary School District. “We just want them to come on down and get something to eat. It’s a very needed service.” Oakley’s free lunch program will run Mondays through Fridays from June 11 through July 13. The program will be closed on the Fourth of July. Those interested are invited to attend one of three locations: • Iron House Elementary School, 4801 Frank Hengel Way, from noon to 12:30 p.m. • Oakley Elementary School, 501 Norcross Lane, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. • Vintage Parkway Elementary School, 1000 Vintage Parkway, from 11 to 11:30 a.m. For more information, call the Oakley School District at 925-625-6852. In Brentwood, participants can receive their free lunches at two locations Mondays through Fridays (Fourth of July excepted) beginning June 11 and running through July 20: • Marsh Creek Elementary, 601 Grant St., from 11:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. • Villa Amador Community Center, 2101 Sand Creek Road, from noon to 12:30 p.m. For additional information, call the Brentwood Union School District at 925-513-6338.

Family bonding flourishes at Trilogy at The Vineyards Retirement – when to do it is a monumental decision and a major milestone in many people’s lives. An equally important decision is where to live in retirement. According to the boomers at Shea Homes’ Trilogy Active Lifestyle Communities, when it comes to making the “big decision,” being close to family and friends is the most important factor. “I really feel I have the best of all worlds here,” said Jackie Pelletier, Trilogy at The Vineyards member and grandmother to Colby, 16, and Olivia, 10, who live in Discov-

ery Bay. “We can see our grandkids whenever we like and still have a full life with our friends.” Jackie, a former hairdresser, and husband Dale, a retired Silicon Valley executive, moved to The Vineyards from the Shea Homes Silver Creek Valley Country Club in East San Jose to be near family. “We used to see the girls on the weekends, and it was always sad to leave and go back home. My daughter is a single mom, so we want to be there as much as needed to help with the girls,” said Jackie. “We love living here so much and have such

a sense of wellness from being close to both our family and friends now. I feel so blessed to live here.” Trilogy at The Vineyards prides itself on finding ways for grandparents to connect with their grandchildren, whether it’s a day at the pool or fun summer activities such as ice cream-making from scratch or a walk through community’s 30-acre vineyard or olive orchard. “At Trilogy at The Vineyards, we realize the importance of family. So many of our members move here to be close to their children and grandchildren,” said Dan O’Brien, area president for Shea Homes Northern California and a Trilogy at The Vineyards resident. “It’s fun to see members enjoying grandchildren at the swimming pool or having lunch on the patio at Club Los Meganos.” But dynamic activities and amenities for families aren’t Trilogy at The Vineyards’ only attractions. Trilogy recently introduced Northern California Boomers to the next benchmark in carefree living: SheaXero – the no electric bill home – as their new standard included in every home’s base price. It sounds amazing, but it’s true: no electric bill, no extra charge, no gimmicks. Many builders charge over $30,000 for a home with these features, but for a limited time at Trilogy, SheaXero comes with no upgrade cost. High-powered solar power systems are at the heart of each SheaXero home, producing clean and renewable energy to save money and offset electricity consumption. In addition to generating as much electricity as the home uses, SheaXero homes come standard with top-of-the-line energy-saving features such as Jenn-Air Energy Star Appliances, energy-efficient Trane heating and cooling systems, low-E vinyl windows, highperformance insulation and more.

Cherry from page 1A weekend we’re open. The people are coming in droves.” Kathey Tachella has been running the Tachella Family Farms produce stand with her husband Jim for 16 years, but she’s never seen a U-Pick season like this. She compared the swarm of anxious fruit pickers to a herd of sharks in a feeding frenzy. “It was off the hook!” Kathey said. “This is the busiest season we’ve gone through. We’ve been in the business for a long time, and Memorial weekend is normally busy, but this was crazy. There were thousands of people here to pick cherries. We had people waiting at the gates to get in. We normally have enough cherries to get through the first weekend of June, but not this year. We’re picked out.” Kathey said the farm will offer apricot U-Pick in mid-June, but the cherries are the draw. Nothing brings them in

like cherries. Bacchini Fruit Tree closed its stand on Monday to allow the rest of its cherries to ripen for the next waves of pickers that come out this weekend. On Monday, Salvador Family Farms reported on Facebook that it’s done for the season and thanked its customers for a fast but fruitful season. Bloomfield Cherries and Wolfe Ranch Cherries posted on their websites that their U-Pick seasons begin this weekend, but based on last weekend’s response, don’t expect their seasons to last long. When choosing farms to visit this weekend, it’s helpful to check the farm’s website or call the farm directly for the most up-to-date information. While some farms might not have been picked clean during the holiday weekend, some orchards might have gone bare during the week. Visit www.harvest4you.com for the latest U-Pick information.

Perspective on Measure J Editor: I generally subscribe to Barbara Zirvica’s tight-fisted prudence. I, too, pride myself on fiscal integrity. For the record, I, like Barbara, disagreed with extending the Mello Roos tax, the Antioch sales tax, and the recent water tax in its convoluted packaging. On her recent column, though, regarding Measure J (renovation of the going on 60-year Antioch High School, the only school in Contra Costa of that era that has not been restored), Barbara simply barked up the wrong tree as a watchdog. Even though AHS is sandwiched by stunning Heritage High, college-campus looking Deer Valley, and Pittsburg High, which had a gorgeous makeover keeping its old bone structure, I can respectfully differ with Barbara’s opinion that it’s OK for our downtown school to stand out like a sore thumb. Opinion and facts are two things, though. I am not here to argue the ballot merits, as the voters will determine whether our kids deserve second-rate perimeter security; cracking walls and sidewalks; dark classrooms, outmoded heating, air and technology; an unusable pool and track; and a cafeteria that can’t fit them all in rainy weather. It is the citizens who will decide what an equitable facility would or would not do for downtown morale and property value. Being, though, that I apparently surprise Barbara in living one block over in the non-Mello Roos area, and would, in fact, pay the tax should it pass, I am compelled, as a private citizen, to fact check. As a soon-to-be 66-year-old who will start collecting social security June 13, I, too, would love, both personally and philosophically, to see seniors exempted for the $4.52 per $100,000 assessed value. Even though it amounts to a tenth or twentieth of what Mello Roos owners pay,

seniors have truly done so much for our community and deserve a break. Unfortunately, under the law of construction bonds, there is so no such possible exemption. It is simply legally verboten. There seems, then, to be some confusion about the provisions of bonds and parcel taxes, where exemptions can and cannot be allowed. As to the argument that Antioch has properties up the kazoo, I don’t get it. Firstly, precisely because we have received hardship monies to build, the sobering reality is that any properties we sold would be monies given back the state. Secondly, paint this a favorable climate for construction, a dreadful time to sell. Thirdly, even if we were hypothetically able to sell off everything we had, hold nothing for future growth, and be allowed to keep the money, it would be at best a few million rendered, hardly a dime on the dollar of what 21st century modernization will cost. Fact is, AUSD has been cut $74 million in state funding over the last four years. Due to the bloodletting, like other districts, we have been given a state exemption on putting away 3 percent for deferred maintenance and we have stopped putting into long-term retirement liability fund. Plain and simple, there is no golden goose to raid for this remodernization. Is it true, as has been stated, that we are counting on matching money back from the state? Hoping, of course, but not counting, on it. It would be gravy and no, we never bet the ranch on hypotheticals. As to the argument that we stopped the last bond dead in its tracks, leaving some $21 million unbonded, agreed. Gosh, it feels odd, though, to be criticized for not taking everything we could have grabbed. Shouldn’t public entities be applauded for disciplined frugality and turning back money? We were, in deed, the good stewards we promised to be. Fact is, we completed most all our list, getting very favorable results from the competitive construction climate. On top of that, we received some $16 million back in saved interest from the Quality Construction Act. Most of our bonding came in at an incredibly low 2-percent interest rate. Credit the penny-pinching Scottishness of Tim Forrester, executive director of operations, for putting this together. The loan formulas changed on us, and for the small scope of unfinished projects left, we would have had to pay $80 to $90 million in interest on $20 million bonding. We wisely decided not to. Unlike my friend Barbara, I was not surprised that the City Council unanimously supported the bond. They, like I, expect that with a mandated buildout checklist, a citizens’ oversight committee, a vigilant administrative team and a fiscally sound board that has put away

EDITOR

$27 million in ending fund balance despite massive state cuts, we would see the same positive results as Measure C should Measure J Pass. It’s all up to the voters. Walter Ruehlig Trustee, Antioch Unified School District

Voting Hudson for Assembly Editor: I support Mike Hudson for the California State Assembly, District 11, which includes the East County. Mike has been endorsed by the Contra Costa Times as the only candidate who understands the issues that confront the district. As a city councilman and vice-mayor of Suisun City, Mike has shown that he can build bipartisan solutions to problems, balance a budget and represent the core values of his constituents. Mike understands the state’s fiscal issues, including pension reform, and supports a balanced budget amendment that limits borrowing, caps spending and creates a true reserve fund. Mike knows that California’s aging infrastructure is outdated and crumbling. But he also knows that jobs and economic growth, not new taxes, will generate the revenue to rebuild the infrastructure that includes not only schools and roads, but also the water storage and conveyances needed to keep the district’s farmland the most productive in the state. Mike owns a small technology company in the district and understands the uses, benefits and dangers of technology and the unique needs of businesses in East County. I will vote for Mike Hudson on June 5 for State Assembly in the 11th district. Hal Bray Brentwood

Taxed to the max Editor: I am again writing to you about the problems and the misguided opinions of people in favor of Measure S. Another aspect to think about is the reason we don’t have the business growth and development in East County that other places have. Part of that is due to the high taxes we already pay ad nauseum. Do people realize that the population is dropping all over California and that close to 1,000 businesses leave California permanently because of the high taxes we’re stuck with? Look at Huntsville, Ala. by comparison. The population of less than 200,000 is growing by around 10 percent per year due to the great jobs coming into that area, like Hyundai, Toyota and other high-tech companies. The wages are great and the cost of living is about 50 percent of what it is here. Homes can be purchased starting under $100,000 and the property tax rate in Madison County, Ala.

is about 65-percent lower than it is here. My wife and I already pay over $3,000 per year in property taxes and we’re getting hit by ridiculously high state taxes as well. If this tax passes, we’re prepared to pack our bags, sell our home and leave the area once and for all so we can live without paying extraordinarily high tax rates. Think about it. Scott Sims Brentwood

Fix ECCFPD first Editor: Measure S contains no plan at all to solve the long-standing financial problems of the CCC fire departments. Because there is no comprehensive solution, the responsible thing to do is to vote NO and push our elected officials for a real solution that does more than just consume massive tax dollars, an example of which is outlined below. With this tax, a community the size of DB will be paying in at least an additional $10,000,000 and that does not buy any service level commitment. As many have pointed out, this new tax will eventually cause the separate AMR paramedic with a quick-response vehicle stationed in DB to be removed … this will be a huge loss. What if the paramedic-fire engine is on a fire call and this AMR vehicle did not exist? DB is a large population center and is a long way from the next station or ambulance base. This AMR quickresponse vehicle needs to stay and is much better for DB than having the third person on the fire engine being the only paramedic in the area. And remember: AMR paramedics do not consume any tax dollars … fire department paramedics do! Outlined below is a 14-segment proposal to fix the CCC fire/EMS financial situation. This plan, although not perfect, does provide financial sustainability and firefighter job security. It will not be easy or overnight to implement and some will hate it, but it is an all-encompassing plan, and nothing of this magnitude has been brought forward by the tax proponents or the fireboards. Key point … this plan does not call for fire department employees to do anything unique and dangerous, or participate in a compensation plan that is less than standard in city/metro paid/full-time fire stations across the country. 1) Create a brand new (not a merged) CCC county fire/EMS entity that will be the foundation for the savings necessary for financial sustainability and job stability going forward. This foundation will include at a minimum: 2) Implement a tiered comp plan that see Letters page 15A

Frazier for Assembly Editor: As a Latina woman, I am offended that race and sex have entered the Assembly District 11 race by Patricia

Hernandez and her supporters. I received a flyer last week from her that included the image of a woman wearing a burka. Needless to say, my Muslim friends and I resent this flyer. At the same time, how does she know if I am pro-choice or not? I saw recently that Planned Parenthood endorsed Jim Frazier for Assembly District 11; does that make Planned Parenthood racist and sexist? It’s sad in this day and age that when someone does not have a leg to stand on in their campaign, accusations of racism and sexism comes into play. It is pathetic! For that reason, I will be supporting Jim Frazier for State Assembly because he has done a lot for the community and the Latino community, which I’ve personally worked for with him to better our community. He helped bring La Clinica Oakley. He has done many other wonderful things for the community that no one even knows about because he does it out of the kindness of his heart and does not have to flaunt it. I would encourage those in Contra Costa County to support Jim Frazier because he is the candidate who is local, has a great big heart and can be most effective in Sacramento. Valarie Castaldi Oakley

We can’t afford $100,000 pensions Editor: County Supervisor Mary Piepho was recently quoted in the Brentwood Press touting the ability of fire district employees to retire at age 50 with a pension at nearly full salary, calling it the “industry standard.” Unfortunately, the article failed to note that Piepho is married to a firefighter, and has a personal interest in defending this generous retirement benefit. It’s instructive to look at the effect this industry standard has had on other fire districts in the county, based on data from the Contra Costa County Employees’ Retirement Association. · Forty percent of the 645 county retirees receiving pensions of $100,000 or more used to work for fire districts. · More than half of those receiving pensions of $200,000 or more are retired fire district employees. · The top pension retiree is, you guessed it, a former fire district employee enjoying more than $300,000 every year. Twenty-eight percent of those receiving $100,000-plus pensions worked for the Contra Costa Consolidated Fire Protection District. As a result of generous salaries and benefits, ConFire, which is much better funded than our fire district, is broke and will likely be seeking a tax hike in November. The industry standard championed by our supervisor is great for fire district employees, but not so great for taxpayers who get stuck with the tab. This is the future of our fire district if Measure $ passes. Instead of a fire protection district, ECCFPD is morphing into a retirement protection district. Vote no on Measure $.

does not exceed the national average even at the highest tier (former ConFire people would be taking a definite cut; former ECCFPD people not so much). 3) Meaningful pension and benefit reform. This is essential and will have major impact further into the future. 4) Inclusion of POC/two-hat/reserve or other less than full-time programs for strategic use and to supplement twoperson crews on a regular basis as the primary source of the second (or third) crew member in select regular station staffing scenarios. A target should be set that at any given time a certain percent of the staff on duty at stations (say 20 percent) would be something other than full time. 5) Leveraging of management and administration, including a reduction from current levels that exist in the separate FDs. 6) All county EMS oversight under one roof and under the administration of the fire chief. Join or start a regional EMS consortium (five already exist in California). 7) The BOS must give up multiple offices and 50 percent of its overhead (it can make it up with office holder accounts), with the savings going directly to EMS. 8) Use of the most cost-effective shift structure like Cal Fire uses. The union will fight this but it works for the largest fire department in the state. 9) Variable deployment/crew size strategies … the population centers get more, rural gets less. 10) Maximization of vendor support (such as Cal Fire and AMR) and vendor deployment. Maximize use of AMR to provide paramedic services in most locations. 11) Strategic station brown-outs (by time, by day, by season). 12) The potential exists for specific communities such as Brentwood that have other revenue streams for public safety to supplement their basic coverage. 13) Absolute commitment to implement P-zone/district like supplemental fire/ems revenue programs for new development in all areas served by the new county fire/EMS entity (Pantages is a perfect example). 14) After the details are worked out and implementation has commenced, then and only then, if more revenue is needed, the voters will consider a new tax that would certainly be smaller than Measure S. To succeed, any new tax must have some form of roll back should other revenue sources increase. The tax now before the voters will fail; a tax as proposed herein, that is the last part of an overall plan, will likely succeed. Vote No on the “No plan” Measure S and press those in control for a real solution, such as the above 14-segment proposal. Jeff Barber Discovery Bay

After a strong showing at the North Coast Section Meet of Champions, three of the six Bay Valley Athletic League schools will be represented at the state track and field meet this weekend in Clovis. Freedom, Heritage and Deer Valley have all qualified at least one athlete for the statewide competition. Deer Valley sends two athletes – junior LaValle Hamlin and senior Shawn Simms – as well as its 4x400- and 4x100meter relay teams to the CIF State Championship. Simms is seeded fourth in the long jump after his jump of 23 feet, 6.5 inches at NCS earned him second place. Hamlin finished fourth in the 300-meter hurdles event at NCS, clocking in at 39.41 seconds. Senior Darius Cooper, Hamlin, Simms and junior Tajae Smith White comprise the Wolverines’ 4x100 relay team. Senior Isaiah Reed, Simms, Hamlin and Smith White make up the 4x400 relay team. Both squads finished fourth at the NCS Meet of Champions.

Heritage will be represented by three athletes: senior Clifford Obodo (high jump), senior Kyle Thacker (discus) and sophomore Zoey Millington (high jump). Of the trio, Odobo and Thacker finished ahead of their teammates at the Meet of Champions. Odobo, who is seeded 13th in the state meet, took to the air at a height of 6 feet, 6 inches, good for second place. Thacker’s discus traveled 163 feet, 2 inches, also meriting a secondplace finish at NCS. Millington finished tied for third at NCS with Campolindo’s Hadley Swanson. Both girls cleared the bar at 5 feet, 3 inches. “Qualifying three people – that was unbelievable,” said Heritage head coach Kevin Bain. “This meet is a very difficult meet to get to. … We’re still growing as a program. We’re still thriving. The kids are still learning to perform at a high level.” Freedom’s Adrian Perez qualified for state in the 200- and 400-meter dashes. The Falcon senior claimed third in the 400 and fourth in the 200, edging out Heritage’s Frank Kurtz, who finished a see Clovis page 19A

Liberty grad maintains golden hopes by Michael Dixon Correspondent Brittany David’s wrestling career got its start when she was tagging along with her older brother Andrew at his practices. It was there she discovered that girls could wrestle. Once she began wrestling at Liberty, David realized that she not only enjoyed the sport, but was good at it. Her accomplishments in high school allowed her to wrestle for Lindenwood University in Missouri. This summer, David will be wrestling for the United States at the Junior Pan-Am Games in Guatemala. If all goes according to plan, she’ll represent her country four years from now at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. “I’m very confident in her ability,” said Lindenwood head coach Tocarra Montgomery. “I made an Olympic team myself (2004), so I know what goes into it with the training.” More immediate hopes are focused on David on both an international level and in college. She’ll be one of nine wrestlers at the Junior Pan-Am games. Montgomery expects that she’ll advance to the final, while her own goals are more ambitious. “I expect to win the whole thing,” David said. “I have high expectations about placing pretty well there. I expect to have a good upcoming college season. I want to win a National Title, individual and team, because we have a lot of really good wrestlers. Then I’ll take it from there.”

David’s high school coach, Greg Chappel, saw something special in her. As the only girl on the team, she wasn’t on the receiving end of a lot of personal coaching, but picked up a lot in practice. Chappel recalled when David was kicked in the mouth in a morning practice, chipping a tooth. He was surprised to see her come back at the afternoon’s practice, tooth fixed, noting that most boys would have taken a few weeks to recover. He also remembered her as a freshman, unable to beat a particular senior. When David found out that the senior swimmer competed in the spring, she tried out for Liberty’s swim team and committed

herself to improving – just like her rival. “She’s just a great role model,” Chappel said. “She’s done everything that she can do to become a better athlete. Brittany’s right at that age and could probably go another eight years if she wanted to. Most people start peaking at about 27-28.” One of David’s favorite activities is watching old film from high school to see how much things have changed. “Overall, I like seeing that I have made improvements, and that I kept stepping up on the ladders,” David said. “I’m already a double AllAmerican. Reaching my goals later on will hopefully be more of a success for me.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

A pair of Civil War type cannon boomed out the close of the VFW’s Memorial Day program.

Photos by Rick Lemyre

Fade from page 1A Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C. There he located the inscribed name of Sgt. Charles McCurtain, the namesake of Brentwood’s VFW post, and obtained a rubbing to display in Veterans Hall. The “flash, bang and flowers” of the typical ceremony are good, he said, but “it’s the people of Brentwood who really make it special.” County Supervisor Mary Piepho, whose speech was interrupted by the flyover, remembered Spc. Joey Graves of Discovery Bay (2006), and Sgt. John Aragon of Antioch (2008), both of whom were killed in action. She also spoke of the Girl and Boy Scouts participating in remembrances all across far East County, noting that the future of children “is what we fight for.” The Liberty High School Band, Warrior Watch and American Legion Riders, Deacon Ron Horan of Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church and numerous other elected officials were also part of the ceremony, as was Voice of America speech contest winner Hanna Dillman. Perhaps the largest Memorial Day event in recent years closed as bugler Clinton Pruett played “Taps,” accompanied by the boom of two Civil War style cannon. But even as the echoes of the cannon faded away, it was clear that the memories of those being honored would not. “A long time ago I got on one of those (a helicopter) without my buddy, who’d gone missing,” said the veteran who had been given pause by the chopper’s passing. “He’s been with me (in spirit) every single day since.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

ATHLETES OF THE YEAR

Applegate a true natural in the water by Kyle Szymanski Correspondent Something changed for Heritage senior swimmer Madison Applegate at the age of 6 when she first entered the pool as a member of the Brentwood Dolphins. All the other sports she had tried didn’t matter anymore. For the first time in her life, she found a sport she loved. Applegate has been making waves in the pool ever since. When she touched the wall for the final time as a member of the Patriots swim team at the North Coast Section swimming championships, she did so as one of the best swimmers in her school’s history. For the second straight season, Applegate was named the Bay Valley Athletic League’s MVP in swimming. During her high school career, she earned BVAL champion status in an individual event seven times, made the finals or consolation finals at the North Coast Section swimming championships eight times and recorded a top-100 time out of 3,000 swimmers in the 100 butterfly three times. “Madison has been great to work with the past four years,” said Heritage head coach Craig Carson. “She has been a person we could count on to do what was in the best interest of the team.” Her success in swimming isn’t surprising, given her dedication to the sport. In high school, Applegate began 20-hour-per-week practices with the Concord Terrapins, a team she has been a part of since she was 9. Monday through Saturday, Applegate swims for 2½ hours per day in the afternoon. Her training schedule also includes practices at 5 a.m. twice weekly, plus weight training. “Swimmers like Madison are not your average teenagers,” said Terrapins assistant coach Rick Waterhouse. “Madison is a special young woman who has made a high level of commitment.”

have a lot of them ahead of me, I just get a good feeling.” Her goal of swimming collegiately will pose some challenges when she heads to college without some of her key supporters. Her mom and dad, both former swimmers, have been positive forces when she needs encouragement, such as this season, when she was forced to swim the 100-fly and 100-freestyle events back-to-back. “They’re very supportive,” Applegate said. “They’ve helped me through everything. When it gets rough, they always encourage me.” Applegate shouldn’t have a problem finding moral support. Former Terrapins Allison Gargalikis and Taylor Carlson are on UCLA’s roster, and current Terrapins teammate Arlyn Upshaw will join her. Besides, one of Applegate’s strengths outside of the pool has been her ability to be a leader and consummate teammate, according to Terrapins team director Ray Mitchell. “What I most respect about Madison is her behavior and kind attitude with her teammates and coaches,” Mitchell said. Applegate’s role as a good teammate is always on display. What she’ll remember most about her high school swimming career is not any individual achievement, but the Photo by Kyndl Buzas hard work put in by her teammates. “I’ll always remember Heritage swimmer Madison Applegate prepares to my 200-yard freestyle relay team,” Applegate said. “It was compete at the North Coast Section Championship. me, Haley Rose Love, Erica Knudsen and Emilee Troy. We progressed the whole season and got first at the Mission VieApplegate’s devotion to swimming has interfered with jo Invitational.” Those are the moments Applegate will miss, but before many high school social events, but paid off when she achieved her lifelong goal of attaining a swimming scholar- long she’ll be back in the pool making memories that make ship. After getting offers from Arizona State and UC Santa her feel back at home. “The feeling that you get once you get a best time, or you reach your goal is indescribable,” AppleBarbara, she decided to attend UCLA in the fall. “Going to college has always been a goal,” Applegate gate said. “Working toward that, and reaching it, is a great said. “I learned from swimming how to work hard toward feeling.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net. my goals.

Clark not thrown by separation from family Correspondent This story originally appeared in the Feb. 10 issue of The Press. Kyle Clark is one of the most accomplished members of Antioch Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football and wrestling squads, but a certain accomplishment off the mat might be his most impressive. Following Clarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second year at Antioch, his family moved to Oregon, forcing him to miss the Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 2010 football season. But when he learned that his new school wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let him participate in wrestling, a sport in which Clark has a genuine future beyond high school, he decided to move back to Antioch. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where Clark, now a senior competing in the 220-pound class, has remained for more than a year, living with folks such as friend of the family Mike Barron while his family remains a state away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been struggling a lot, living with different people,â&#x20AC;? said senior teammate and friend Dylan Guerrero. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually gotten stronger. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been hard on him but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been fighting through it, making the best out of it, and doing pretty good.â&#x20AC;? Clark doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disagree. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been living with (my parents), I think I have done better,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I miss

my family and I have had to adjust, but I also try a lot harder.â&#x20AC;? The challenges Clark has faced this season arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t limited to separation from family. At this time during his junior season, the wrestler had around 50 matches under his belt. By early February, only 17. A shoulder injury he suffered earlier in the year and recently re-injured in a big match is belied by his sterling 15-2 record midway through the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting a lot better,â&#x20AC;? Clark said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just seem to keep injuring it again. Right now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just taking it easy, trying to heal.â&#x20AC;? Clarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nagging shoulder injury has kept him from performing against some of the better competition in the area. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no denying, however, that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the better wrestlers in the area â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no small achievement given his lack of background in the sport. Clark first stepped onto Antiochâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campus with no wrestling experience. He took up the sport only because his football coach told him it would make him better on the gridiron. Now Clark readily admits to being more serious about wrestling, mostly because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot better on the mat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people have natural talent and others take time to develop,â&#x20AC;?

Antioch wrestler Kyle Clark, The Press’ 2012 Male Athlete of the Year, grapples with an opponent during the CIF State Championship earlier this year.

Clark from page 3B said. “In Kyle’s freshman year, he had that natural talent. He started out good as a freshman and he’s only gotten better.” As of now, Clark’s plan is to wrestle and play football at a junior college before transferring to a four-year school. The top school on his wish list is Oregon, which would allow him to live closer to his family. When not wrestling or playing football, Clark is a fan of doing anything that keeps him active and away from staying stuck at the house. “I have a 10-speed that I ride around town,” he said. “I like hiking, camping, hanging out with friends, doing

stuff outdoors. Basically, I really don’t like just sitting around inside and playing video games.” Given the impermanence of his living situation, no one would blame Clark for going into a shell. But his friends and teammates said he has never done that – in football, wrestling or any other part of his life. “Kyle is one of the more respectable guys in school both in and out of sports,” Guerrero said. “He’s like a brother to me. Even though we don’t talk every day, I’ve always felt comfortable around him. He’s kind of like a role model to me.”

Just when you think you see the light at the end of the tunnel, you realize it’s an oncoming train. My youngest child is about to turn 10, and up until now, she’s been a pretty easy and self-sufficient child. She’s a big help around the house, and even though my other children could take or leave me at times, she continues to tell me she loves me. I admit that I’ve started looking HANGIN’ IN forward to a little HERE more “me” time now that she’s growing up and making her own friends. Life with five kids has actually become more manageable. Could it be that I might finally get away VICKI with my girlfriends for MCKENNA a weekend? How about a weekend with my husband? In 20 years of marriage, we’ve spent only two nights away from our kids. Dr. Phil would have a few things to say about that. But then something changed. One day when I dropped Haley off at school, she acted nervous. “You won’t forget me?” she asked. Shocked at her question, I assured her I would never forget her. I never had and never would. I was a bit embarrassed. Other moms within earshot probably thought I

must have forgotten her before, but I never had. The nervousness before school became a habit, and it got worse. I picked her up from school one day, and I could tell she had been crying. I asked her why, and she told me she thought I wasn’t coming to pick her up, but I was outside the classroom as usual, waiting for her. Again, I was irritated because other kids and moms were looking at her puffy eyes and splotchy face, and assuming I was late or had done something to provoke her emotional breakdown. What was happening? I interrogated her in the car, trying to get to the bottom of this irrational fear taking over my daughter’s life. She finally told me told me that she was afraid I was going to die. I sat there for a moment, feeling like I was suddenly in “The Sixth Sense.” It was creepy. Was she having some sort of premonition? I assured her that I was healthy. I try to keep in shape and eat right. I have no real health problems other than the normal ailments that plague 50-year-olds – gradual blindness, hearing loss and oh, my knees can predict when rain is coming – but other than that, I’m doing just fine. She told me that when she hears sirens while she’s at school, she thinks I’m involved. Now as crazy as that sounds, I began talking see Vision page 6B

THE REAL COST OF DIY INCORPORATION If you run your own business, you are a smart and talented individual. You can probably handle any task that you set your mind to, and if you are thinking about incorporating or forming an LLC, you’ve probably heard advertisements for low cost do-it-yourself incorporation services. These ads claim that you can save money by incorporating or forming an LLC online by yourself. But as a smart business person, you should know that there is more to the story than as advertised. First, most of these services fail to disclose the true cost. The advertised price is for the bare minimum. It does not include important documents and steps that must be purchased at an additional cost. Upselling of unnecessary options is also common so beware. One popular website automatically subscribes you to ongoing services that cost hundreds of dollars per year. In the end, it can cost more than seven times the initial advertised price for a complete DIY kit. One of the biggest problems is since you are not receiving legal advice, how do you know if you are making the right choices on how to structure your business? If you make a mistake it may cost you much more to correct it later, and even worse, you may not get the personal liability protection or benefits you were after in the first place. Another factor to consider is time. Time you spend doing your own legal work is time lost developing your business or serving your customers and earning revenue. While the DIY services promise to be “quick and simple”, in reality you will need to research the proper business structure and setup for your needs.

Each situation is unique and there are many factors to consider. If you don’t have the time to dedicate to doing this homework, you will end up frustrated by the DIY process or worse yet, stuck with a structure that hinders your objectives. Successful entrepreneurs recognize the value of their time and this should not be discounted when deciding the value of DIY incorporation services. Are you willing to risk your dream business and your personal security by trying to save a few bucks? At Alvis Frantz and Associates, we can help get your business entity formed with the confidence. Let us by a trusted part of your team that helps you maximize the potential of your business.

HICAP offers Medicare counseling, advocacy In Contra Costa County, the Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program (HICAP) provides accurate and objective counseling, advocacy and assistance for Medicare beneficiaries and their families regarding Medicare, supplemental health insurance, Medicare Advantage plans, Medicare prescription drug plans, long-term care insurance, and other health coverage plans. HICAP counselors, available for oneon-one appointments at senior centers, community centers and other locations throughout the county, provide free, impartial counseling to help people understand their options for Medicare and related insurance.

to other moms and found out that anxiety in children is very common; in fact, it’s an epidemic. Just watch the nightly news. If you base the state of the world on that alone, it’s a very scary place. We don’t watch the news together anymore. A good friend suggested I buy a book for Haley entitled “What To Do When You Worry Too Much.” It has helped Haley realize that other kids have these fears too, and that was a huge relief to her. But the book wasn’t enough. The other morning I woke with a start. Haley was standing by my bed with her finger under my nose. “What are you doing?” I asked, sitting up. “I thought you were dead. I was making sure you were breathing.” Let me just say that I almost did die. What a way to wake up! Now I am beginning to feel anxiety about dying. I drive extra carefully and make sure the gas stove is turned off, and I clean my dryer lint trap way too much now. I take my vitamins, eat more fish and have tried to cut down on beer. (I failed that one.) It’s like seeing the Grim Reaper in your rear view mirror! According to Haley’s teacher, my daughter has become increasingly distracted and spends most of the day watching the clock. She has occasionally suffered small breakdowns, and although the other kids are sensitive to her weepiness, it’s still a disrupting factor. All my reassuring words and hugs couldn’t stop her fear of me dying. It was time to seek help, and we did. We see a counselor, who has given us some tools and tips to help her overcome her fears – and they’re beginning to work. Thank God. Looks like that oncoming train has been derailed.

Home repair funds available for seniors by Marla Luckhardt While I was browsing the Internet looking for things that benefit seniors, I came across the Contra Costa County website for home loan assistance for low-income families. The agency offers two programs that lend money to homeowners in need of housing-code repairs at either a low interest rate of 3 percent or in certain cases 0-percent interest and deferred payments. I spoke with a nice man named Jesus DelToro at 925-674-7202. The home loan assistance program is funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and is the Community Development Block Grant Fund. It is not for purchasing a home but for repairing an existing primary residence that can be either a single-family dwelling or an owner-occupied duplex used as a primary residence. The owner must be on legal title for at least six months. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it works: If you are 62 or older and own your home, the program will review your application to lend you up to $50,000 in a Neighborhood Preservation Loan. The interest of 3 percent or the zero-interest loan is determined by income and assets, and the home must have a value of at least 10-percent equity. That 10 percent is evaluated by the amount of the mortgage plus any other fixed debt secured by the property so that it does not exceed 90 percent of the appraised value. Applicants with an income of $45,750 or less for an individual, or $52,300 for a couple, qualify to apply for the program. If there are additional residents in the home that generate income, these numbers will rise slightly. Although you neednâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a senior to apply for this program, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll address the benefits

and basic requirements for those over 62, as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more lenient and a bit different. Who said age has no benefits? The older the home is, the greater the possibility of things not being to code or up to safety standards. The program can help remove barriers that pose difficulty to walkers or wheelchairs, fund re-roofing if needed, plus electrical, plumbing and heating repairs, termite and dry rot problems, security, exterior painting and energy conservation. According to DelToro, these are a few examples of what that money can be approved for. One other requirement is total assets in the bank. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re over 62, your total must be $30,000 or less, which includes bank accounts, stocks and any other real estate equity other than your principal residence. Many seniors qualify for deferred loans, which means they have no monthly payment until the property is sold or is bequeathed. If there is a zero-percent loan, only the principal that is borrowed is paid out of escrow when the home is sold. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re concerned you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to fix your home and make it safe, this program might be the answer. Those who own a mobile home can look into a program operated by The Contra Costa County Building Inspection Division. After meeting certain requirements, you can qualify for funds to repair such things as new stairs, porches, decks and landings. The complete list can be found at www.cccounty.us or by calling DelToro. Check to see if your town is covered by this program. It might help make your mobile home or standard property residence safer and more comfortable. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth the call!

OBITUARIES Edward Dailey Oakley resident Edward (Ed) Dailey, 48, formerly of Bemidji, Minn., passed away suddenly on May 14. Ed was a 10-year veteran of the United States Air Force, most notably serving two years during Operation Desert Storm, in which he attained the rank of sergeant. He is survived by his loving wife of 11 years, Karen; mother, Jean Dailey (Fred); father, Bill Letford (Pat); grandmother, Margaret Wayne; sister, Pam Matney (Wayne); brother, Michael Dailey (Stephanie); nephews, Jayson Matney, Owen Dailey and Dawson Dailey; and niece, Jenna Dailey. In California, he is survived by his inlaws, Hal Lauth, Ann Lauth, Susan Foster (Matt), Michael Lauth (Cynthia), Stephen Lauth (Kerry), Jennifer Martinez (Leo) and Nancy Brinkley, all who adored him, including his niece, Nicole Foster, nephews, Dan Foster, Ryan Foster, John Lauth, Cameron Lauth, Sam Lauth, Nathan Brinkley and James Brinkley, Jr. He also left behind five much-loved pets. His death came much too soon. He was much beloved by his family as well as his friends and fellow darters from the Sacramento Valley Dart Association, as well as other dart organizations throughout Northern California. His smile and sense of humor as well as his generous spirit will be missed by all who knew him, particularly his friends in Bemidji, Minn. and the San Francisco Bay Area. Services will be for family only.

Lawrence E. Fernandes Nov. 29, 1932-May 14, 2012 Larry, 79, passed away on Monday, May 14, 2012 surrounded by his family. He was born in Oakland and served in the Army during the Korean War. After his time in the service, he became a carpenter. Larry is survived by his wife of 28 years, Rosemary; six children; 17 grandchildren; and

two great-grandchildren. He had a wonderful life and will be missed. A memorial service will be held Friday, June 1 at 10:30 a.m. at Immaculate Heart of Mary, 500 Fairview Ave. in Brentwood.

Timothy Jacques Holt Nov. 29, 1959-May 18, 2012 A well-loved man was taken suddenly up to heaven on the afternoon of May 18, 2012. Timothy Jacques Holt of Discovery Bay is survived by the love of his life, Patsy Collins; and his two daughters, Ashley and Amber Collins; as well as one beautiful granddaughter, Madelynn Rose; and his beloved dog, Cha-Chi, whom he considered his son. He also leaves behind many loving family members and friends in his hometown of Tallahassee, Fla., including parents Don and Beverly Holt; sisters Tere Tucker, Carol Ham and Emily Brown; nieces Amber and Sondra; and nephews Brian, Jason and David. Tim was a very hardworking journeyman electrician for 25 years, whose life motto was “work hard, play harder.” Besides his family and friends, Tim’s lifelong love has always been the water. His favorite hobbies included boating, water-skiing and enjoying the great company of his many best friends. He loved to travel and was always the life of the party. He will be missed greatly, and his memory will be carried on through the hearts of his loved ones. Until we meet again in heaven, may you rest in peace, Tim. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Discovery Bay Yacht Club, date pending. In lieu of flowers, donations can be received at the life celebration.

Wine and Chocolate party raises hopes It’s said that the third time is the charm, but in the case of the Special Kids Foundation (SPK), six appears to be the lucky number – as in the sixth annual Wine and Chocolate fundraiser that raised a whopping $20,000, the most in the foundation’s history. “The generosity of this amazing community was evident in every face of the

crowd that night,” said Foundation Director Lisa McBride. The event, held May 19 at Hannah Nicole Vineyards, was a sold-out celebration filled with food, wine, music and generosity. Proceeds will go toward the foundation’s iPad Assistive Technology Assistance Program launched locally in February. For applications, visit www.spkids.org.

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 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. 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 telephone number for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address on the previous page for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA09003406-10-1.

Kaiser earns environmental award Kaiser Permanente has been honored with a System for Change Award from Practice Greenhealth, the national membership organization for health care organizations committed to environmentally responsible operations. The System for Change Award recognizes health systems that are working to gather data, set system goals, benchmark, and share successes in environmental performance. “This award recognizes the tremendous efforts by Kaiser Permanente employees and physicians who consider environmental protection to be central to improving the total health of the communities we serve,” said Raymond J. Baxter, senior vice president for Community Benefit, Research and Health Policy. “The benefits to public health and the environment,

coupled with the cost savings we achieve by protecting the air, land and water, make it well worth it. Kaiser Permanente is a health care leader in green building, purchasing safer materials, saving energy and reducing waste. Earlier this year, Kaiser Permanente announced it is converting to IV solution bags that are 100-percent PVC- and DEHP-free, and intravenous tubing that is 100-percent free of DEHP. PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and DEHP (di-2-ethyl hexyl phthalate) are both widely used in medi-

cal products and have been shown to have harmful effects on health. Kaiser Permanente purchases 4.9 million IV tubing sets and 9.2 million solution bags each year. This conversion affects nearly 100 tons of medical supplies and also is expected to save close to $5 million annually. “Improving environmental performance is a priority for our approach to health care,” said Kathy Gerwig, Kaiser Permanente’s vice president for workplace safety and environmental stewardship officer. “We are continuously looking for ways to better protect the health and safety of our members and our communities.” According to Laura Wenger, executive director of Practice Greenhealth, “This award demonstrates Kaiser Permanente’s commitment to the communities it serves

to protect public health and preserve the environment. You can do a lot of good for patients, staff and the environment when working as a cohesive health system. Kaiser Permanente is truly demonstrating leadership for the future of health care.” In addition to the System for Change award, Kaiser Permanente facilities and regions across the country received 18 additional awards recognizing efforts to reduce waste and prevent pollution. The awards include Partner for Change Award for Kaiser Permanente Antioch. Kaiser Permanente has received awards every year since the inception of Practice Greenhealth’s Environmental Excellence Awards program in 2002. Kaiser Permanente has won 142 awards from Practice Greenhealth in the last 10 years.

Mr. Appliance makes the grade “The Military Friendly Franchises list was created three years ago out of demand from military veterans, many of whom want to start or own their own business but are unclear where to begin,” said G.I. Jobs Director Sean Collins. “Being selected as a Military Friendly Franchise places Mr. Appliance in this elite group and is testimony to Mr. Appliance’s world-class programs and policies that support military veterans interested in franchise opportunities.”

Mr. Appliance Oakley recently announced that it was named a 2012 Military Friendly Franchise by G.I. Jobs Magazine and ranked by the magazine in its top 10 percent of all franchises nationwide. The appliance repair company honors military veterans year-round by offering service members a discount of 25 percent off the franchise fee, allowing veterans to use their training and operational skills in a new civilian career.

Mr. Appliance is North America’s leading appliance repair franchise system. Established in 1996, its franchises provide full-service residential and light commercial appliance repair. Mr. Appliance operates more than 150 locations throughout the United States and Canada and is consistently ranked among the top home service franchises by Entrepreneur magazine and other industry experts.

Buchanan announces $600K research grant Assemblymember Joan Buchanan recently announced that Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory was awarded $600,000 from the California Energy Commission to develop a low-cost nitrogen oxide (NOx) sensor for small distributed generators. Funding for the approved project comes from the Energy Commission’s Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) pro-

gram. The low-cost, highly sensitive sensor will be able to measure very low emission levels of NOx and can seamlessly integrate with NOx pollution-control systems. “The project will help develop technology that can be used to more cost-effectively reduce emissions in California,” Buchanan said. Researchers at Lawrence Livermore will develop a NOx sensor for small dis-

tributed generators that find it difficult to achieve required control levels. Existing NOx sensors lack the accuracy and precision needed to help control or monitor emissions from small natural gas-fueled engines. The researchers plan to build on their success in developing automotive NOx sensors to customize them for stationary distributed generators. Prototype sensors

will be built and tested in simulated environments in the laboratory before final testing in operating generators. The California Energy Commission’s PIER program supports public interest research and development that helps improve the quality of life in California by bringing environmentally safe, reliable and affordable energy services and products to the marketplace.
