Living well at any age
Making waves
dissolved by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer
Afte r decades of commotion, content ion and alleged corruption, it seems the beleaguered D iscovery Bay P roperty Owners Association (DBPOA) may fina lly be gone fo r good. " It appears the membership has spoken," said DBPOA boa rd member Roger Difate. On J une 30, the membership of the DBPOA vo ted to d issolve the association. The board of d irectors unani mo usly agreed to uphold the decision, and the d issolu tion is expected to be finalized within a matter of months. "This does not mean, however, that the CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions and Restrictio ns - which run with the land) are no longer in ef-
feet," said D BPOA P resident F rank Visintin. " Nothing has changed except the enforcing agents. We've notified the membershi p of whom to contact fo r violati ons, and if this is not satisfactory, there is always the opti on of members pursuing a small claims court actio n." For th ose who have been involved in the yea rs-long battle, which has incl uded charges of arbitrary code enforcement, stiff penalties for non-compliance and illegal liens aga inst homeowner's properties, the final chapter in the DBPOA saga is a welcome one. "T he DBPOA had been plagued with controversy since its inceptio n," said Visintin. " In 1987, homeowners on Discovery Poin t successfull y sued

Breeze in on Island Time by Pati Lucido Gonsalves Correspondent
When Heather Travers graduated from college, she was anxious to put her education to work. A family friend was selling his boutique, and it seemed the perfect project. So in 2007, her parents, Dave a nd Judy Travers, purchased "Discovery on the Boardwalk," a small apparel and accessories store located at the Discovery Bay Marina. Jumping right into the coposition, owne r/ma nageria l H eathe r bega n to develop her own style decor, filling the shop with isla nd -inspired specialty ite ms. Focusing on popular selling brands like Tommy Bahama, Oakley and Ray Ban, it didn't take long before a larger space was needed to accommodate the increase in inventory. It was six years before an-
other unit became available at the marina, and it happened to be situated at the mouth of the little dockside shopping center. It was the perfect spot, and the newly named Isla nd Time Apparel & Accessories shop anchored itself in its new locatio n. Today, Island Time is the place to go if you are looking for the perfect clothing to wear while living, vacationing or dreaming of being on the islands. The shop carries men's and women's clothing in all sizes and styles to suit all tastes. From clothing and shoes to bathing suits, belts and sunglasses, you will find a great line of isla nd appare l a nd accessories. Heather has her hands full with the store, but also helps her parents operate several other businesses. " Our fa mily owns a security agency, a co nstruction staffing compa ny a nd a nursing compa ny," she said. " I work in
the main office much of the week to keep those businesses running. I spend my Mondays taking care of business at Island Time, a nd my manager Roxie Psa rr is the face of Island Time to most of the regular customers." Having a business next to a busy marina and popular local restaurant is great during the boating season: " People come in by boat or take a walk after they've eaten at the Boardwalk G rill," she said. "There a re lots of great events on the yacht harbor lawn like summer co ncerts a nd the upco ming Big Cat Poker Run, a nd that brings in a lot of people, too. " Island Time, located at 3901 Mari na Blvd. in Discovery Bay, is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. To arrange for private hours to shop, call 925-240-8607. To get a peek at the store online, visit www. isla nd timestore.com .

Man honored for saving toddler's life by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer Bethel Island resident Todd Standridge went to Rubios in Brentwood last May for a meal, but he left a hero. The 49-year-old Pemco chemical industry worker likely saved the life of a 2-year-old boy by performing a series of abdominal thrusts on the child to dislodge a chip that was completely blocking his airway. Sta ndridge was ho nored recently by The Contra Costa County Emergency Services Agency for providing extraordinary care in resuscitating a victim of complete airway obstruction. " When the public steps up a nd actually pa rticipates in something of this nature befo re we can a rrive, it's really how we're successful," said Pam Dodson, a member of the county's emergency medical services staff. "To have a hero that actually steps up and does what's important instead of stepping back is such a blessing." Sta ndridge, who's served on hazardous materials teams and fire brigades for 25 years as part of his job, jumped into action after his friend altered him to a gathering crowd on the restaurant's patio. The boy was unresponsive, and the six people surrounding him, including his mother, were para lyzed by fea r, Sta ndridge said. H e told one person to call 911 while he performed abdominal thrusts on the boy and alternately flipped him over and p ounded his back. After an estimated one to two minutes, the chip dislodged just as the fire department and paramedics arrived . The boy was given oxygen and taken to the hospital, but he checked out fine. "Someone had to be calm because the family was there looking at their little boy, and everyone was freaking out

because they didn't know what to do or were panicking," Standridge said. "Someone had to be calm, and I guess that was me." Standridge said he's grateful he was there to help, but doesn't bask in the praise he's received since the incident. "In situations like this you need to be humble," Standridge said. " My girlfriend said right after 'why aren't you excited?' I said ' this isn't the 'Arsenio Hall Show.' I am not going to pound my fist and raise the roof. You see policemen, firemen and soldiers on TV a ll the time doing stuff, and they a re humble about it." T he chilling ordeal still resonates with the boy. The pair were reunited for the first time when Standridge received his award during the East Contra Costa Fire Board meeting on
July 7. The minute the boy laid eyes on Standridge, his eyes lit up and a smile beamed across his face. "He's a sma rt boy," Standridge said. "He remembered, a nd they (the family) were incredibly grateful. His mom just kept saying ' you are amazing; you are amazing."' Standridge and the family were able to exchange contact information that night in hopes of creating new memories forged on one neither he no r the boy's family want to relive. "I would like to see him at Christmas time a nd times like that," Standridge said. " It's a good feeling. I'm glad it paid off. " Calls to the boy's family were not returned.

Plans progressing for Delta Breeze radio by Heather Brewer Correspondent Radio programming has come a long way since Guglielmo Marconi conducted the first successful transatlantic experimental radio communication in 1901. From broadcasts of Morse code transmissions and storytelling to the music, news, and sports of today, radio has long held a beloved spot in the heart of America. Now, Brentwood, Oakley and Discovery Bay will be a part of this legacy through the up-and-coming community radio station Delta Breeze Broadcasting - KLSN 92.9 FM - which has been in the works since early 20 11. "The station will be programmed as a community service resource, broadcasting community news, civic and governmental events, local art and sporting events, public service announcements, with balanced representation of political and multicultural interests," said Tony Va n Goor, a project manager for the station. "lt will also participate in the emergency alert system, making specia l accommodations for programming inte rrupted by local and co unty law e nforcement, fire and emergency se rvices." The la unch of this station was made possible by the Local Co mmunity Radio Act of 20 I 0, which authorized the Federal Communications Commis-
Brentwood
sion (FCC) to license local, low-power broadcasting so people in suburban and rural areas could develop community radio stations which wou ld se rve localized interests. "Our radio service would be staffed mostly by volunteers of all ages who would receive training in broadcast technique, production technique, and FFC rules and regu lations," VanGoor said. " We're especially seeking to utilize communi ty assets to cover local news and sports in real time. In additio n to needing volun teers to help run the station when the time comes, we also need donations of time, equipment and money to get t his program completely off the ground."

" The project has already garnered t he support of the F riends of Oakley Community Foundation, a no nprofit o rganization that serves as a tool to st rengthen the community through philanthropy by co nnecting people who care with ca uses that matter. " I think this station will be a great source of local information, a place where people can dial in and fi nd out what's going on in their community at that exact moment," said Kevin Romick, an Oakley city council member and president and cofounder of the foundation. " In our community, support for projects like this is always well-met, and I am really hoping people gravitate toward it." As the project progresses toward its eve ntual lau nch, the hopes of those already involved remain high. " We are hoping for a vigorous response to our request for contributions of time, equipment a nd funds, because we know with the support from our community, this station will flourish and become a hub of localized, helpful information and entertainment," said Van Goor.

date so that you get credit for making that payment. If you don't make the payment, you will likely get charged a late fee by your lender since they won't get the payoff until the 17th, or even the next business day. Now, if you just made your payment on the 1st, you aren't due again until the 1st of the next month, and your scheduled close of escrow is the 25th of this month, you can skip making that payment because your lender will get the full payoff prior to any late charges. If you wind up mailing off (or paying by phone) a payment right near the closing date, be sure to let the title company know so they can again update the payoff figure. But even if they don't do that, your lender should just send you back a refund for the amount you overpaid.

I frequently get a particular question from my seller clients as their closing date approaches. Many people think they should hold off paying that last payment so they can "save'' the money, but that's not the case. When you make the payment, your payoff figure goes down by approximately that amount of money, so you are still getting credit for it. If you don't pay the payment, your payoff will be higher, which means your proceeds will be less, so it's actually a wash. However, you certainly don't want to incur any late charges or hurt your credit. The answer to the question of whether you should pay that last payment depends on when your payment is due, when it's considered "late" and when closing is scheduled to occur. For example, if your payment is due on the 1st, "late" on the 15th, and your close of escrow is scheduled for the 17th of that month, you should pay the payment around the 1st, and then Jet the title company know that you did. That way they will update your payoff figures again right before the closing

FAMILY MATTERS BY SILKY SAHNAN, ESQ .
Dancing the night away chool is about to start, but for the girls at Krey Elementary School in Brentwood, the memories of their first father-daughter dance are still fresh in their minds. In May, the little ladies in kindergarten through fifth grade twirled on the dance floor with their fathers, uncles, brothers and grandfathers . Above, Kayl ee Randle, 6, enjoys a spin with her father Jamaine. Krey plans to host a mother-son dance later this year. For more photos from the party, visit www. thepress.net.

How much spousal support will I get after my divorce? You may be more familiar with the word "alimony" which is the same as "spousal support': Spousal support or alimony is the term used for payments from one spouse to another after a divorce for the purpose of maintaining the former spouse at a standard of living sin1ilar to that enjoyed during the marriage. In California, the courts consider a wide variety of factors in awarding permanent spousal support including the following: • the age and health ofthe spouses; • the physical and emotional conditions of earn spouse; • the duration of the marriage; • the financial resources of earn spouse; • the earning capabilities of each party. In addition, the courts will consider the time necessary that it will take to acquire the education and training to help an unemployed spouse find
a place of employment. The court will then consider that spouse's future earning capacity. The court will consider who will be caring for children and whether or not it is appropriate for a spouse to seek outside employment while caring for the children. Also, the court looks at the contributions earn spouse gave to the marriage. If one spouse stayed home and did not earn an income, while the other acted as the breadwinner for the family during the marriage, then the court will take into consideration the !imitations of the spouse who stayed home. As you can see spousal support is not determined by just one factor. A careful analysis has to be done to determine the correct amount. If you want more information about filing for spousal support contact the Law Offices of Silky Salman via telephone at 925-276-0789 or via email at attorney@legalservicesca.com - Advertisement

LIVING HISTORY
Historical kicks on Route 66 The walking stick was the first clue. Made from the branch of a tree, it was the kind you often see canied by travelers and people who've seen a lot of places and things. It was nearly six feet long and stood higher than Donna Bellinger, the woman who was holding it and waiting patientJy to talk with me at this month's HarLIVING vest Tin1e Festival. In Donna's other HISTORY hand was a clipping of my last column, in which I asked people to tell me about when they touched, or were touched by, histmy She wondered if I might be interested about her RICK expe1ience involving LEMYRE Navajo Code Talkers, and I naturally replied "Are you kidding me?" We sat and chatted in her lovely Brentwood home on Monday. Donna was bom on a farm in Minnesota in 1930. Summers in her early years were spent as a live-in caretaker on a nearby frum. She was mostJy on her own, sometimes scrounging tJ1e streets for coins, sometimes washing dishes for meals and sometimes getting a Iide somewhere from the compassionate town cop. In addition to minding the livestock, her job included mowing the grass while being swa1med by the frum's 13 resident cats. She sometimes resorted to drastic measures to keep them out of the way: ''I'd stuff them in socks and hang them from the clothesline until

Brentwood's Donna Bellinger holds the book "Warriors, Navajo Code Talkers," a reminder of her encounter with the Navajo tribe in 1959.
I was finished." So when she mamed Merle Haynes at 21, Donna was more than ready to get off the farm. Merle worked in construction at job sites all over the U.S. In 1956, Merle was sent to Florida from Southern California to help build launching pads at Cape Canaveral. America's space program, including Apollo's forays to the moon, blasted off from Cape Canaveral, but it wasn't a big deal to Donna
back then. It was just another place to go. Donna piled into her car with her dog Sheba and headed down what would be designated 25 yeru-s later as Histoiic Route 66. Pit stops for Sheba gave Donna a chance to sample life along the way. In Arizona, a Native Ameiican roadside market seemed like a good place to stop. Walking among the offerings of pottery, rugs and jewelry, Donna spotted a photo-
graph of a man wearing ttibal beads and feathet"S over the uniform of a U.S. Mruine. She learned from the merchant that it was a fanlliy member who had served as a Navajo Code Talker during WWII. He proudly told her that Navajo Code Talket"S used their language to conununicate dwing the Ma1ines' fight against the Japanese dwing WWII. Enemy code breakers had been unable to decipher the language, and the Code Talkers' bravery, skill and ability as Maiines were a major factor in winning the war. But this was 1956, and the heroes who eventually gained fa111e and recognition - in part tJuuugh the 2002 Nicholas Cage movie "Windtalkers"- were virtually unknown, so Donna eventually forgot about it. Howeve1; on a hip to Phoenix last yeru; she spotted a Code Talkers museUI11, and the memory returned in a flash. She spent hours there and bought a book about the Code Talkers, her only reminder of a t1ip that was steeped in more history than even she realized. Then again, she has a knack for being near history-in-the-making. She can also tell you about the gold dredges she saw in Alaska or about her brother's crash in an Air Force transport (he survived) that became part of the classic 1949 movie " 12 o'clock High." I hope others will contact me and tell me their stories. Perhaps, if there's time, I'll hear more of Donna's when I return the book she loaned me. In the meantime, please excuse me. I have to go download "12 o'clock High." To share your stmy, email ricklemyre@ gmai/.com.

Bacchus dinner delights again by Kim Csongor Correspondent The encore dinner meeting of the Bacchus Society Brentwood on July 10 was as tasty - if not tastier - as the delightful premiere evening in June. Cap's Oak Street Bar and Grill was again the venue as the upper floor of the restaurant was transformed for the "Notte Italiana" where members enjoyed a scrumptious second helping of the chapter's monthly food and wine event. Host and founder Franz Schneider explained his pairing choices via a succinct and entertaining page included with the menu, in which he expertly touched on character, integration, expressiveness, complexity and connectedness. As Schneider had predicted in his tasting notes, a bitters and Galeanolaced Negroni surprisingly stimulated appetites for the accompanying crab cakes and salmon antipasti. By the time guests were served the primo course of impossibly delicate yet robust and creamy mushroom ravioli, glasses of the subtly coordinated Borgo Pinot Grigio
were raised with enthusiasm and anticipation. Then came a sweet and crunchy involtini of cucumber salad served with an Italian bianco blend, which Schneider aptly characterized as having notes of candied lime and nectarine pit. A lively intermezzo of lemon ice followed. Finally, veal roulade was served with a velvet Sangiovese blend so refined and well paired that a collective audible sigh wafted through the room accompanied by nods of agreement. The esteemed host was toasted heartily as guests finished the last bites of a delightfully bouncy raspberry panna cotta. Chefs Jesus Macias and Tony Mejia were also acknowledged and applauded as Sambucca shots were poured. The Bacchus Society Brentwood dinner experience is currently $75 per person with paid membership subject to acceptance. For more information, e-mail Schneider at fs0035@comcast. net or visit www.bacchussocietyatcaps. org. To learn how to select the perfect wine, visit www. thepress.net.

Concert on the Bay The Discovery Bay Lions Club is bringing back its free Concert on the Bay series at the Discovery Bay Yacht Harbor, starting with a performance by Public Eye on Saturday, July 26 from 5 to 8 p.m. Public Eye will give the crowd a great mix of rock 'n' roll from the 70s and today. The Lions will sell beer, wine, hot dogs, soda and water, and Boardwalk Grill will have delicious barbecued foods available, including tri-tip and pulled pork sandwiches, chicken skewers and wraps. Since the Lions Club mission is to raise money to support community needs, outside food, drinks and coolers will not be permitted inside the lawn area where the band will be performing.

The Discovery Bay Lions will host several concerts this summer, offering up free entertainment in the live-whereyou-play community. Additional concerts are scheduled for Sept 13 and the Lions' Rocktoberfest on Oct. 11.

Dozier-Libbey resumes at status quo by Corey Hunt
I'm not talking to anyone based on what their involvement is or on how much they have been involved with the petition," he said. "I'm reaching out as a principal and as a leader to the staff
Correspondent Officials from the Antioch Unified School District (AUSD) recently lost an appeal to overturn a decision by a Contra Costa Superior Court that bars the district from initiating a dependent charter petition to counter efforts by teachers seeking autonomy at Dozier-Libbey Medical High School (DLMHS). The state-level ruling comes on the heels of a separate decision made in May by the County Board of Ed ucation to reject the original, independent petition the teachers filed , effectively eliminating any notion of a conversion in the 2014-15 school year. So school will res ume its curriculum under the status quo on Aug. I 3 - albeit with some changes in staffing. One of these changes is the appointment of Scott Bergerho use, a lo ngtime administrator in the district, as the school's interim leader, replacing Principal Nancy Castro, who was removed from her position this summer. Bergerhouse said his top priority will be building positive relationships with students, parents and staff in a community that has been sharply divided by the politics of the charter school debate. "My goal - my leadership style - is to have a communicative support system with a common vision of student achievement," Bergerhouse said. "There's nothing that is too difficult to work out. I'm a leader who is very approachable. I've been having lots of communication with many of the staff members and will continue to do so." DLMHS teachers are doing their best to work with their school's new principal, though not all of them are convinced the school's learning environment can prosper with DLMHS still tethered to Antioch's official school system.
--------------------------------- ''
Dozier-Libbey MEDICAl HIGH SCHOOL "I've heard that (Bergerhouse) is a very decent administrator who's good at his job, a good guy. However, I think the problem wi ll be that he represents AUSD, and there's really not a lot of trust in the district among teachers or parents right now," said Jeff Weber, a teacher who has taken a leading role in the independent charter movement. " I have no reason to do ubt his vision, but I sti ll haven't heard from him. I don't know what I'm teaching next year. Many of my colleagues haven't heard from him yet, either." Kasey Graham, another teacher, has spoken with Bergerhouse but remains unsure about how his plans will turn out. "I truly don't know about all of thi s. Saying something and actually d oing it are two different things,'' Graham said. "The important thing is that, charter or no
Scott Bergerhouse, Dozier-Libbey principal
charter, we're teachers and we're going to do everything we can to make sure we continue having a great school. " Weber, Graham and the other teachers pushing for the independent charter are still working out the details of a possible appeal to the state in favor of their independent charter proposal. Bergerhouse, who said he plans to mail an introductory letter and o ther info rmationa l mate rials to students and parents, insists he will not be opening old wounds by seeking confrontation with staff members who have been vocal in the pro-independence movement. " I'm not talking to anyone based on what their involvement is or on how much they have been involved with the petition," he said. " I'm reaching out as a principal and as a leader to the staff and won't be having conversations with them about philosophical issues regarding charters or any of that. This is about what's best for students and what we need to do in order to provide the best education." To comment, visit www.thepress. net.

Talk About Town The little bit of rain we saw this week didn't put a dent in the drought, so the City of Oakley is stepping up to do its part. Water features at Creekside Park and Nunn-Wilson Park, which are typically open through Labor Day weekend. will be shut off at the end of the month in an effort to conserve water. So get your splash on before it's too late.
• • • There are still plenty of ways to have fun in Oakley despite the water conservation efforts. The City of Oakley Recreation Division has a lot of fun classes and activities planned for August. Form a team and sign up for the bocce league or grab your friends for the Introduction to Beading class.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Festival fringe benefits Editor: As a local merchant, I commend the city and Steve Barr for the Harvest Time Festival located in downtown Brentwood this past weekend. I solicited comments from customers about their experience. Most enjoyed the local feel, and many commented that it felt like the early years of the Cornfest. Many said that it felt less like a carnival and more like an atmosphere to meet your local farmer. Some said that there should have been more vendors at the event and more publicity. This may have been part of the strategy for maintaining the small town feel. I felt that tying it in to the Farmers' Market was great. Sever al people mentioned that they had not frequented downtown in years and enjoyed discovering new stores and restau rants. Our store experienced its best day in sales, even more than the last holiday season . The continuation of events in downtown will help solidify downtown as a shopping destination. Congratulations on the inaugural event. Kathy Thill Owner, Presence Gifts
Proposed benefit assessment is illegal Editor: In 1996, voters approved Prop. 21 8, the Right to Vote on Taxes Act. Prop. 218 requires a ballot to be mailed to property owners for all assessments and property-related fees with the exception of water, sewer and garbage rates. Street lighting assessments, and storm water and urban runoff management are all examples of a ballot that is mailed to
voters. The ballot is weighted by the property size. Prior to Prop. 218, cities were attempting to pass police assessments. Police and fire services are a general benefit that should be paid for via taxes on all residents, not just assessments against homeowners. According to the drafter of Prop 218, the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association said that the use of a benefit assessment rather than a special tax to fund fire suppression services constitutes a violation of article XIII D of the California Constitution. Court cases have been litigated against fire districts that illegally established a fire benefit assessment. The county of Los Angeles sought protection for its fire assessment in the wake of Prop. 218. The trial court agreed that Prop. 218 outlawed fire benefit assessments, and it ruled against the county. Afterward, the county obtained 2/3 approval for a parcel tax to replace the assessment. Recently, the Sacramento Metro Fire Protection District withdrew a proposed benefit assessment after the Sacramento County Taxpayers Association spoke about litigation. The Sacramento Bee editorial board commended the fire district for withdrawing its illegal benefit assessment. The East Contra Costa F ire Protection District is bypassing the parcel tax election. The district needs a study similar to the ConFire Fitch Report to evaluate the district and its finances. The Contra Costa Taxpayers Association opposes the use of benefit assessment by the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District or any other fire district. The fire district's spiraling pension costs is forcing the district to cut fire service just to pay its pensions. Please show up for the East Contra Costa Fire Protection board meeting

Be safe for back-to-school Editor: Monday, July 28 is the start of the new school year for our local schools. This will be the first experience for many families with dropping off their children at school. Other families are well versed in navigating the traffic congestion that often occurs at the beginning and end of the school day. Please show patience with those new to the routine. This year the Oakley Union Elementary School District is welcoming a new campus with the opening of Almond Grove Elementary School. The new campus is located at 5000 Amaryllis Street between Carpenter Road and Everlasting Way. It is reasonable to assume that the flow of traffic in this area will be impacted by the additional traffic resulting from parents dropping off their children. Drivers who typically traverse this area should consider an alternate route to ease congestion and avoid delays to their normal commute. I want to remind everyone that student safety is a community responsibility. Remember to be patient, practice defensive driving, avoid distractions, be courteous to residents near schools and be alert to bicycle and pedestrian traffic. The Oakley Police Department will focus traffic safety and education efforts around many campuses in support of a safe community environment. Thank you in advance for your considerate and responsible driving. Dan Gomez Oakley Police Chief

Antioch squad moves toward World Series For the second straight season, Antioch Little League will be represented at a Western Regional tournament. The Big League All Star team, comprised of girls 16 to 18-years old, will compete this weekend in Lancaster for a shot to play in the Girls Big League World Series in Delaware next month. " It's exciting, really exciting," said Antioch Little League President Steve Mohammed. "The manager Penny Hicks brought all the girls together to play and has done a really good job. They are just a really good team." The squad wrapped up the Northern California championship with back-tohack wins over Stockton on July 13. The All-Stars will now compete against teams from California, Oregon and Washington. The team will hit the Southern California diamond with plenty of experience in big time Little League competition. Six
of its members were on the league's Senior softball team last season, which advanced to the Western Regional in Montana as the first squad from the league in 24 years. The Big League team's run is the last in a series of impressive performances by Antioch Little League squads this season. The 9-10 All-Star softball team advanced to the Northern California championship, before falling to Chico and Gilroy last weekend. The 11-12 All Star team fell the week prior in State All-Star tournament play. " I am pretty excited about it," Mohammed said about the league's recent success. Antioch Little League is always in need of donations from the community. To donate, visit www.antiochlittleleague. com. The Big league team is expected to open play on Saturday and continue playing through Wednesday. For updated results, visit thepress.net.

Snag Proof Open baits Delta anglers by Michael Dixon Correspondent
When the roughly 400 anglers take part in Bethel Island's Snag Proof Open on Aug. 2, they'll be taking part in the only fishing tournament of its kind in the Western United States. Vince Harris, president of Angler's Press Outdoor Promotions that puts on the event, expects that 200 teams of two fishermen each will take part, with approximately half in the Pro-Team division and the other half in the Semi-Pro Team division. Depending on the exact number of entrants, the total purse is expected to be around $7,000 on the pro side and $4,000 for the semi-pros. What separates this tournament from most others is that they'll be fishing exclusively with Snag Proof Frog bait. " It's an annual gala that everybody looks forward to," Harris said. "Snag Proof Frog is the oldest frog
bait on the market. It's been around longer than anyone." While sitting outside in the middle of August seems like an unpleasant experience, anglers are hop-
ing for one of the hottest days of the year. This particular event operates under the idea that hotter is better. When the water is warmer, the bass try to stay cool by going underneath long canopies of moss or cheese. When the bait lands on top of the moss, it simulates a delta frog walking across the path. "The bass see it and absolutely explode on it," Harris said. " It would be like you sitting under a tree in 105-degree heat and the ice cream man walks up to you and asks 'what flavor you want?' You don't even have to leave the tree to chase him down." This year's Snag Proof Open will be the 13th annual on the California Delta, which Harris described as a perfect setting for this event. "The California Delta is great because there's so much water to fish," he said. "Guys don't need to worry about space. You can get lost and not see a person all day. You can find patches of cheese just about anywhere on the Delta." For more information, visit bit.ly/1A6L6tU.

Brentwood's 13-year-old Ruben Padilla won all three events he competed in at the recent USA Gymnastics Cha mpionships in Kentucky. H e blew away the competition in the trampoline, double mini-trampoline and synchronized events, winning by 11 and six points, respectively in the first two events. H e's now won all seven international events he's competed in this year. His top finishes spurred USA Gymnastics officials to guarantee him a spot on the country's team for the 20 14 World Age Group Competition, which brings together international athletes ages II to 18 for a n Olympic-style event. " It was such a successful run," said Nelia Padilla, Ruben's mother. " Ruben feels great." While Ruben will be required to attend the World Age Group Competition Selection Camp in September, it'll serve as just more training for the rising sta r. H e'll likely move up to the Senior Elite level of his development in about five years, which will afford him a n opportunity to tryout for the Olympic squad.

Brentwood racer ends night in second place Jeremy Hoff and the first turn of Antioch Speedway didn't get along on Saturday night. Hoff, in the lead on the white flag lap of the feature event for lnemational Motor Contest Association Sport Mods, tangled with his dad, Scotty, sending Scotty's ca r into the exit lane guardrail. The race was red flagged, and Jeremy H off was declared the winner. Fred Ryland of Brentwood was second. "Cars were all over the place on the track," Ryland said. "I was trying more to avoid contact than to go fast." Due to the circumstances, Hoff found it hard to enjoy his win. "It is hard to be happy when you put your father out of the race," he said. Hoff and several other SportMod drivers opted to join the N orthern All Star modified field. On the first lap, he hit the first tum wall, destroying his winning car. Brent Curran of Antioch scored his foLUth win of the season in the "Four Banger" division for four-cylinder street cars. "It was rougl1 early in the race," he said while standing next to his damaged, stean1ing radiator. "It overheated with six laps to go. I didn't think I would make it." Jordan Swank, finishing in second, battled Cumm most of the feature. Michael Christophet; Janelle Barlow, and Tayler Swank rounded out the top five.

In celebration of its 40th anniversary, East Contra Costa County's oldest recycling center Delta Scrap & Salvage recently announced its Recycle Locally campaign, which includes cash prizes for participating customers. "Every time a customer brings in recyclables, their name is entered into a monthly drawing to win $250," said Ken Graunstadt, owner of Delta Scrap & Salvage in Oakley. ·~ annual winner is also selected and receives a $1 ,000 check, and Delta Scrap & Salvage donates $500 to that winner's favorite charity. Graunstadt, past president of the In-
stitute of Scrap and Recycling Industries, is dedicated to public education outreach efforts regarding the benefits of recycling on the environment, hoping to motivate the public to keep recycling. According to Graunstadt, there is public perception that all residential recycling must go to the local comer collectors: "Many people aren't aware that Delta Scrap & Salvage has a recycling center. We've been here since 1975, but people don't know they can bring their recyclables here." Delta Scrap & Salvage has made recycling easier and more convenient for the public. "There's no need to separate colored glass or remove caps from plastic bottles," Graunstadt said. "Just bring your recycling in to our facility and we will do the rest." So, save your cans and bottles, clean out your garage and dispose of all of your unwanted recyclables and metal items in an environmentally friendly way while making money from it at the same time. Delta Scrap & Salvage, located at 1371 Main Street in Oakley, is a state-certified facility that processes in excess of 12,000 tons of aluminum cans, glass, plastic and steel, as well as other ferrous and nonferrous materials, annually. Operation hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to noon and 12:30 p.m. to 4:30p.m., and Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 3:30p.m. For more information, email demo@ deltascrap.com or call 925-754-1474.

Check the vitals before a road trip Road trip car trouble can be a real nightmare, but performing a pre-trip car check can help drivers avoid a vacation breakdown disaster. A 10-minute driveway inspection gives motorists peace of mind by reducing the chance of unplanned, costly car trouble. • Check the tires including tire pressure and tread. Underinflated tires reduce avehicle's fuel economy and uneven wear indicates a need for wheel alignment. Tires should also be checked for bulges and bald spots. Check the hoses and belts as they can become cracked, brittle, frayed, loose or show signs of excessive wear. These are criti-
cal to the proper functioning of the electrical system, air conditioning, power steering and the cooling system. • Check filters and fluids including engine oil as well as windshield washer solvent and antifreeze/coolant. • Check the wipers and lighting. • Checkthatallinterior and exterior lighting is working properly and inspect and replace worn wiper blades. • Check to be sure the battery connection
is clean, tight and corrosion-free. The Car Care Council also recommends that motorists restock their emergency kit, consider a pre-trip tune-up to help the engine deliver the best balance of power and fuel economy, and order a free copy of the Car Care Council's popular Car Care Guide for the glove box at www.carcare.org/ car-care-guide.

Gentle yoga offers powerful results AMY SCHRADER
oga classes for seniors seem to be
Y
popping up everywhere. Local gyms, community centers, and even churches
offer gentle yoga classes or classes specifically
designed for seniors. While seniors may start with gentle classes, some excel to advanced levels and even become teachers. Senior yogis are fee ling like ki ds again as t he 5,000-year-old p ract ice not only improves flexibility but also reduces aches an d pains. "Yoga is good fo r seniors for so many reasons, but t he main reason is t hat it is doable, and you can contin ue to do it daily unlike some ot her physical activi t ies that are hard on our bodies," said Erica Lozano, a yoga inst ructor f rom Oakley. "As we age, gravity, poor alignment and injuries can ta ke a t oll on our bodies. Yoga unties all of the knots we accumulat e in life." Lozano has seen many students transform thei r lives through yoga pract ice. "I see the excitement in t hem wh en they come to class, and it is the same excitement I have when I teach another class or even when I attend class," Lozano said. "It's a beautiful t hing. Gentle yoga is re laxing, restorat ive and f ull of amazing benefi ts." Lozano's gentle yoga classes include props to support the body into a deep re laxation . St retching, lea rning different b reat hing techniques and modifica-
tions will help improve the strength and flexibility of participants. Lozano teaches gentle yoga for seniors through the City of Oakley Recreation Division. Classes, for seniors 50 an d o lder, meet every Friday morning . Pre-registration is required. For more informat ion, call the City of Oakley at 925 -625-7041 or e-mail tumi n@ ci.oakley.ca.us. It's no surprise t hat so many seniors are embracing yoga. According to the A merican Senior Fitness Associat ion (SFA), yoga improves t he quantity and quality of sleep for seniors. Regular yoga practice can also improve strength and reduce pain and infl ammat ion associat ed with arthritis. The SFA also repo rts t hat yoga ca n assist in diabetes management as well as improve lung funct ion and decrease hypertension. Other benefits include we ight loss and an improved mood . Oakley resident John Freemer started yoga whe n he was 54 years old. "My practice has improved my body, mind an d health tre mendously," he said. "I started for the physical part and stayed for t he mental." Freemer, w ho is now 59, is an advanced yoga student and even attended Wa nderlust in Tahoe th is summer. Wanderlust is a yoga fest ival described as an adventure of the mind , body and soul. "Wanderlust has been awesome," Free mer said. " It's nice to spend a weekend with like-minded people." If you can't make the classes run by the City of Oakley, Lozano also teaches gentle yoga at Diamond Hills Sports Club and Spa in Oakley and at the Brentwood Yoga Cent er.

W
hen Bethel Island resident David Garcia was a merchant marine
on a troop carrier drifting through
the Pacific during World War II, he knew he had a story to tell. That story started when he began writing poems to his wife using a secret code, with the first letter of each line of the poem eventually spelling out his confidential location. When he wasn't w riting letters to his wif e, he'd jot down ideas for stories on notepads, which he kept under his cot. After t he war, Garcia's stories remained, lingering in his back pocket as he pursued a successf ul ca reer in architecture, raised a fam ily of six children and grew to love sailing on the Delta . But it wasn't unti l Garcia was nearly 80 years old when he decided to share t he stories that had wait ed a lif et ime to be told . Like many other authors, such as Ernest Hemingway and Earl Stanley Gardner, Garcia's muse was t he sea. ''I'd step my foot onto my boat, and everyt hi ng but the boat and t he water would just disappea r." Garcia said. During his hours on the Delta, he w rote his f irst book "Who Killed The Rowboat Man?" which is a murder mystery that takes place on the Delta . Garcia's second book "The Forgotten Island" takes place during Wo rld War II. A young officer and four Navy nurses get stranded on a t ropical island locat ed on enemy shores. Garcia's own experiences from the war are inte rwoven into a fictiona l storyline based on an ancient sailor's myth . The story is fil led with
adventure, romance, suspense and the dangers t hat accompany a war zone. Now 92 years young, Garcia is proud t o have both of his books available on Amazon .com and at Barnes and Noble. Writing t hese page-turners wasn't easy, especially for someone who had no experience w ith comp uters. When Garcia found t hat he cou ldn't t ype very well and wasn't fam iliar with computers, he did what most 18 or 19 year olds woul d do: he enrolled in college . " I became a college student when I was 77 years ol d," Garcia said. " Regist ration was a mob, and some people were shocked to see an old man sitting on curb fi lling out reg istration papers. Learning how t o use tech nology has created a second life for me. It has opened a whole new world for me and my stories." The aut hor is currently working on starting a blog as well as a website for his books and is already half way through

Unfortunately, too many of us know someone like Henry, who is the subject of a documentary "Alive Inside," written and produced by filmmaker Michael RossatoBennett. The fi lm showcases the effects of music on the cognitive funct ion and behavior of Alzheimer's patients. Slumped in his wheelchair, Henry appears to be disconnected from the world around him, unresponsive, depressed and uncommunicative, but through the course of the documentary, we learn that music has recently made a profound impact on his life. In fact, we see Henry transformed, singing and swaying to the music, as he is re-introduced to his favorite performer, Cab Calloway. According to the Alzheimer's Association, there are currently 5 million Americans like Henry battling Alzheimer's disease, a progressive mental deterioration that leads to weakening motor skills, speech and memory. Henry's story proves that music is powerful. From lullabies to first dances, from wedding songs to memorials, music inspires emotion
and memories, laughter and tears, and it heals. Kristy Osborn, program director at the Bedford Center for Adult Day Health Care in Antioch, knows that f irst-hand. "Music therapy has amazing benefits for individuals wit h Alzheimer's disease," Osborn said. "Here at the Bedford Center, we are always incorporating music into our day. It benefits our participants with Alzheimer's by decreasing their agitation levels and stimulating positive interactions overall." According to research, music connects with portions of the brain that can still respond to rhythm and auditory cues. Music cannot only decrease depression and agitation but can improve engagement and even motor skills- all without a prescription. "It is pretty amazing when someone cannot even remember their own name or what city they live in, but can tell you the name of t heir favorite singer or song," Osborn said. "It makes you realize how powerful music is for the soul and how it can resonate with us even until the end." In the treatment of Alzheimer's, music is a therapy generating positive results and feelings of hope and excitement. Music can be considered a wonder drug without the side-effects. For the loved ones of Henry and others like him, those feelings are music to their ears. To learn more about the Bedford Center, visit www.rsnc-centers.org.

Are you missing single or multiple teeth? Are you hiding your smile due to the problem? Do you have difficulty in chewing due to missing teeth or loose den tures? Is your lower denture too loose and moving around while you chew or talk? If your answer is yes to any one of the above questions, dental implants may be the right choice for you. Dental implants are an artificial tooth root that can support artificial teeth. This is an ideal option fo r people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury or some other cause. Dental implants are actually more tooth saving than traditional bridgeworks. For a dental bridge one needs to use neighboring teeth for support. Implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support. This advanced dentistry procedure provides natural-looking teeth that also feel natural. Dental implants can also be used to support removable dentures. With dentures supported by dental implants, one can eat and chew food more efficiently. Dentures are more secure and comfortable, and will not move during eating, talking and laughing. These can improve your confidence in both your personal and your professional life. If you have missing teeth, you are continuously loosening the jawbone. Lack of teeth can also lead to bone loss, which can affect your facial appearance and chewing
function. A fixed bridge cannot prevent bone loss. Rem ovable dentures can accelerate the bone loss process, but dental implants can actually stop bone loss. Dental implants will provide the stimulus required to maintain the bone. The ideal candidate for dental implants is one who has good oral health. An adequate amount of bone in your jaw is needed to help support the implant. Those who have healthy gum tissue and are free from gum disease are the best candidates. Dental implants are made of titanium and metal fixtures that are placed within the jawbone with great precision. They provide a highly biocompatible surface, which enables bone to completely fill in and provide long-term stability. Dental implants can last for a long time with regular maintenance and proper oral hygiene. Once the implants are in place, they require the same care you would give to natural teeth. In order to keep your implants clean and plaque-free, brushing and flossing are necessary. After treatment your dentist will work closely with you to develop the best care plan for you. Periodic follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor your implant, teeth and gums and make sure they remain healthy. For all of your dental questions & concerns please contact Pristine Dental owner, Dr Pravin Patel DDS M DS FDSRCS (UK) MICOI at (925) 679-3333, www.pristinedentalimplants.com. - Advertisem ent

to many f oot disorders like arth ritis, ingrown toenails, fu ngal nails, diabetic ulcers and even corns and cal luses, so th e right footwear is especially important when it comes to preserving good foot hea lth. Look for shoes that protect and support your f eet. Orthopedic walking shoes often provide a good combination of comfort and support. Avoid shoes with narrow toes or little arch support. Make sure your shoes fit you properly and can accommodate the socks you usually wear. When selecting a shoe to improve balance, you should press on both sides of the heel area t o ensure th e heel is stiff and won't collapse. Bend the shoe to check for toe flexibil ity. The shoe shouldn't bend too much in th e toe box area, but it shouldn't be too stiff and inflexible either. Try twisting the shoe to make sure it doesn't bend in the middle. "Preventing fa lls among older Americans is a t op health priority, and improved balance can help reduce the risk of a fall," says Dr. Matthew Garoufalis, a podiatri st and president of the American Podiatric Medical Association. "Proper footwear ca n hel p improve balance, especia lly in older people who may strugg le with mobility issues ." Aging and health changes can ca use the size of your feet to change, so when shoppin g for a new pair of shoes, have your f eet measured and go w ith the size of the larger foot. If you wear socks, take the ones you are most likely to wear with you since the try-on peds offered in the store are much thinner than normal socks. Walk around the st ore before you purchase any shoes, and if they don't feel comfortable or st eady right away, don't buy t hem . The old w ives tail of " breaking them in" won't improve things. If you have specific health cha llenges or foot issues, ta lk to a podiatrist about the best footwear fo r your needs. Some may offer a prescription for orthopedic shoes, wh ich may be covered by your insurance. Walking up and down the endless aisles at a shoe store used to be a visual dilemma for me. Everythi ng looked so pretty and sparkly. Now I use my sense of touch to choose my footwea r. If it hurts my feet, it stays on the shelf.

dedicate time to my family," he said. It was that experience which ultim ately turned Beck's career t oward the senior population. And along the way, Beck has gathered like-minded employees for the Ange ls. Kathy Barr, East Count y cl ient care manager and longtime Brentwood resident, oversees staff, schedules and client evaluations. Her seven-plus years serving the elder community has been a rewarding one, she said: ''I'm doing this because I love what I do, and I adore my sen iors." For the Pites, w ho have since moved their dad into an assisted living facil it y,
the Angels were, wel l, heaven sent. "Honestly, they extended the t ime dad was able to live alone and semi -independently, and they did it with grace, patience and genuine affection," Doug said. "We've used other agencies before, and there is just no comparison." When it co mes to senior care, there are a va riety of options, but often families end up choosing their providers from an advert isement in the phone book, a Google search or a brochure at the doctor's office. Luckhardt suggests going w it h recommendations and referrals from friends or relatives, trusted websites or senior agencies

And make sure t hey (the agency) are easily accessible. You need someone who responds in a time ly manner, because sometimes the need for care is immediate."
