CSD board votes Fond farewell to rescind benefits W by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer

Bowing to public pressure, the CSD board voted last week to rescind benefits for the town’s directors and retirees. In a 4-1 vote at the Nov. 2 regular CSD meeting (Director Brian Dawson voted against the action), the board agreed to curtail the health and ancillary care packages previously offered to directors, but will retain the plan for town staff. The decision followed a growing debate between the town’s board of directors, general manager and a contingent of residents who claim the board intentionally voted to include themselves in the benefits package without making the decision

public. On Nov. 17, 2010, the CSD board agreed to offer medical and ancillary benefits to the town’s 11 full-time and one part-time employee through the Special Districts Risk Management Authority’s (SDRMA) medical program. “Just prior to the November 17 meeting, a board member asked if the board members were eligible for coverage,” said General Manager Rick Howard during a prepared statement at the Nov. 2 CSD meeting. “After checking with the legal department, the response to the question was yes. However, at the time, I thought the inquiry was just an inquiry, and I was still just

ith mixed emotions, the East Contra Costa Fire Protection on Monday accepted the retirement request from Paid on Call Assistant Chief Maggie Fajardo after 44 years of service. Fajardo began his service with the Oakley Fire Protection District in 1967 and has held the ranks of lieutenant, training ofﬁcer and captain. He was promoted to the rank of assistance chief after the formation of ECCFPD in 2003. Said Fire Chief Hugh Henderson, “Maggie has performed an outstanding job of handling the role of support services for the district, making sure

that our day-to-day needs were handled in a timely manner. Maggie has always been available to all of us in the middle of the night, to make sure there were cold drinks and replacement air bottles.”

Orphan buffalo gets new home to roam Staff Writer

Driving through the back roads of East County, passersby often see an array of farm animals, from cows and horses to chickens and goats. If you happened to be driving along Byron Highway last Thursday afternoon, chances are you passed a buffalo and didn’t even know it. It’s OK. She didn’t see you, either. It took months of planning, but orphaned buffalo Nakoma finally made it to her new home in Byron after being abandoned at a ranch in Bethel Island earlier this year. Members of the UC Davis Large Animal Clinic were called to sedate the 800-pound beast for transport, and when she awoke, she was greeted by the smiling face of her rescuer and new owner, Charles Ward. “We knew going into the rescue that there were risks,” Ward said. “But the poor thing was all

Byron rancher Charlie Ward offers an apple to Nakoma, a buffalo he rescued from an abandoned property on Bethel Island. Ward has kept buffalo on his alone out there. Luckily the story has a happy ending and now she’s ranch for years, so when a family doing great. As soon as she saw me friend discovered an abandoned Thursday night as she was coming buffalo at a foreclosed ranch in out of it, she sat right up. She’s still Bethel Island, she called Ward and getting acclimated to her new sur- asked if he’d be interested in bringroundings, but she seems to be having the buffalo to his ranch.

bison without warning, two died of starvation before a neighbor found the remaining buffalo roaming the back of the property. Ward went out to meet the buffalo and began to visit her daily, eventually feeding her apples by hand, and the two formed a bond. “She was nothing but a bag of bones,” Ward said. “I couldn’t leave her out there to suffer, so I started the process of going through the proper channels to get permission to bring her to my ranch. I knew it was going to take some time but it was worth it. Now she’s safe.” Ward contacted the owners of the property and explained that he was willing to take the buffalo off the property, but when Ward got the OK and tried to load the buffalo into a trailer, the creature instinctively rushed out as soon as the doors began to close behind her. Having worked with UC Davis vets in the past, the Ward family got in touch with the Large see Buffalo page 15A

Mike Guzzardo, center, with Chamber President Rita Caruso and former President Greg Spivak, was honored as the Discovery Bay Citizen of the Year at the most recent State of the Town gala.

Fire flier on its way The East Contra Costa Fire Protection District this week gave the thumbsup to begin informing district residents about a $197-per-parcel tax it will ask voters to approve in June aimed at keeping the severely under-funded district afloat. The board approved the first of three educational mailers planned for between now and the election. The flier, which should appear in residents’ mailboxes next week, explains that the ECCFPD answers 5,300 calls per year covering 250 square miles and 105,000 people. It goes on to say a 35-percent drop in district revenue in recent years has outstripped the district’s ability to make ends meet, and draconian cuts could result if the measure is not passed. “We have undergone significant budget cuts in recent years, including the closure of two fire stations, eliminating administrative positions and deferring equipment repairs, but we continue to face a structural deficit of 2 million dollars annually,” the flier states. “At our current rate, all of the District’s resources will be exhausted by July 2012, resulting in additional station closures and significant layoffs that would reduce

Vote for Discovery Bay’s best by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer Nominations are being accepted for Discovery Bay’s 2011 Citizen of the Year and Business of the Year. Through Nov. 30, residents are invited to name their favorites. Winners will be announced at the Discovery Bay Chamber of Commerce’s State of the Town dinner on Jan. 21. “It’s going to be a great event,” said Chamber President Rita Caruso. “We’ll be rolling out our plans for the Chamber for the coming year and the direction we’re taking going forward. It’s going to be a great celebration.” The seventh annual event will honor not only the town’s Citizen and Business of the Year, but the Byron Union School District’s

Teacher of the Year. And for the second time, the prestigious President’s Award will be given to a member of the community. Due to the success of last year’s live auction, which raised nearly $2,500 for local schools, the auction will once again be a featured component of the evening. “And once again, all proceeds will go toward our local schools,” said Caruso. “We’re looking forward to a wonderful event.” Votes can be cast online at the chamber website, www.discoverybaychamber.com, or by calling the chamber offices at 925-2406600. Admission to the State of the Town gala is $60; seating is limited. The semiformal event begins at 5:30 p.m. and features cocktails, dinner and a silent auction.

Getting set to roll out the barrels Folks in far East County will soon begin to see familiar sights around town – some traditional and some just plain fun. Above are Liberty High Kiwanis Key Club members KayLa Lewis and Michaelle Diaz getting some teeth into the barrel-wrapping chore that goes with the placement of dozens of donation barrels in local businesses. The barrels, marked “Brentwood Regional Community Chest” (BRCC) and “Toys for Tots,” show that the BRCC’s annual effort to feed and provide toys for 500 families

is partnering once again with the Marine Corps’ Premier Toy program. Above right is Brentwood Mayor Bob Taylor, who for the third year will don a turkey suit and ask for $8 donations to purchase frozen turkeys for the program’s beneficiaries. Making public appearances as “Gobbler Bob,” Taylor has raised thousands of dollars for the effort, which last year resulted in his being publicly “basted” with a fire hose at The Streets of Brentwood.

This year’s basket-packing event will take place at Brentwood Elementary School starting at 6 p.m. and continue until it’s finished. As always, many volunteers are needed to make it work, and individuals, groups, clubs and anyone else is encouraged to show up and help out. Keep an eye on The Press for a full list of barrel locations or find them all at www.thepress.net/charities. For more information or to request a barrel, call 925890-8296.

NOVEMBER 11, 2011

Galaxy gazers rack up zillions of zeros How far can you see? The answer might surprise you. You resolve letters on an eye chart from a distance measured in feet; words and symbols on a road sign from a distance measured in yards; the outline of a city skyline or mountain range from a distance measured in miles. But we’re just warming up. We East County folk are graced with a magnificent long-distance object TAKE IT on a regular basis: Mt. Diablo, UTSIDE about 10 miles from downtown Brentwood. Let’s use the mountain as a point of reference. Even in relatively flat East County, a little elevation – say, the crest of Round Valley’s Hardy Canyon Trail – rewards us with a view of an object 10 times farther than Mt. Diablo: GER the granite majesty of the Sierra ERICKSON Nevada Range to our east. A greater challenge to the imagination is the enchanting pageant of our moon sinking into the west behind Mt. Diablo. Our moon: 24,000 times more distant than our mountain – though not nearly as impressive as our sun: 9 million times the distance of the mountain. Our next step takes us into interstellar space. The nearest bright star in our autumn sky, found southeast of the constellation Orion in Canis Major, is the glinting diamond we call Sirius, a whopping nine light years farther than the mountain. Now, if nine light years doesn’t sound impressively remote, we need to back up a bit.

A light year is a measure not of time but distance – the distance light travels in one year. Once we leave our tiny solar system, the emptiness between stars, and galaxies of stars, becomes so enormous that astronomers describe distance in light years instead of miles. It’s hard to wrap the mind around a number ending in 18 zeroes. So how far is a light year? Well, if you could hitch a ride on a wave of light, if you could go 186,000 miles per second – seven times around Earth in one second – it would take you about 8½ minutes to reach the sun and nine years to reach Sirius. But in the scale of the cosmos, Sirius is our nextdoor neighbor. See those stars above Sirius in Orion? The main rectangle stars – Betelgeuse, Bellatrix, Rigel and Saiph – range from 240 to 900 light years away. Hanging below Orion’s belt is M42, the Orion Nebula, at 1,350 light years from Mt. Diablo. But 1,350 light years is a piece of cake. You can see farther than the Orion Nebula – a lot farther. All the stars you can spot with your naked eye reside within our home galaxy, the pinwheel of between 200 and 400 billion stars we call the Milky Way. But there’s a naked-eye object out there that’s well beyond our galaxy. And that would be … another galaxy. Labeled M31 (for those of you keeping score at home), the Andromeda Galaxy hangs in our autumn evening sky a staggering 2.3 million light years beyond Mt. Diablo. That’s right: beneath a clear, dark sky and equipped with normal vision, you can spot our nextdoor galactic neighbor at a mind-numbing distance of more than 12,900,000,000,000,000,000 miles. What the heck – round it up to 13 quintillion miles. see Outside page 7A

Press Graphic by John Carter and Ger Erickson

To ﬁnd M31, the Andromeda Galaxy, “follow the diamond.” From the leftmost star of the diamond (the tilted “Great Square” of Pegasus), trace the long curve of the two leftward stars; then hook upward a short distance along two stars. M31 is the misty patch just above and to the right of the top star.

OUTDOORS

When viewed through a large telescope, the Andromeda Galaxy occupies a section of sky more than six times the width of the full Moon. As a naked-eye object, only Andromeda’s galactic nucleus is visible. Train your binoculars on M31 and you’ll be able to resolve the inner galactic disc surrounding the nucleus like fog framing a streetlamp.

But why stop there? How far you can see into the universe depends partly on the innate brightness, what astronomers call the “luminosity,” of the objects out there. From Antioch, your naked eye might not be able to resolve a puny 15-watt light bulb atop Mt. Diablo, but it sure can resolve the searing beacons on Diablo’s peaks. The strength of the light source, not the mere distance, matters too. Which takes us well beyond Andromeda. The luminosity of stellar events such as supernovae or gamma ray bursts allows you to spot them with the naked eye from, as we in higher astronomical circles like to say, “a really really really long way away.” The afterglow of the gamma ray burst known as GRB 080319B, detected in the constellation Boötes by NASA’s Swift satellite on March 19, 2008, reached visual

magnitudes between 5 and 6, bright enough to be spotted by the naked eye. GRB 080319B’s distance? About 7.5 billion light years, halfway to the edge of the known universe – a universe unfurling at an astounding rate. By the time it takes you to finish this sentence, the universe will have expanded in volume by 100 trillion cubic light years. Period. Ready for the next 100 trillion? Here it comes. The next time you squint at your optometrist’s Snellen chart and lament what’s happened to the 20/20 vision of your youth, take heart. You might not be able to resolve that P in line 8, but there’s another object you can resolve. “By the way, Doc. I stepped outside last night and saw something really far away.” “Yah? How far?” “Oh, about … 13 quintillion miles,” you say with an air of scientific detachment. “Riiight.”

For many of us, Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of food, family, and friends! But for many others, November 24 will just be another day on the calendar. No special meal, no special gathering of friends or family. Maybe you’ve thought in the past that you’d like to help, but you have commitments on that day, which is certainly understandable. Well, here is your chance! I am chairing the annual Golden Hills Community Church’s FREE Thanksgiving Dinner for Brentwood. We serve a hot meal of turkey, ham, and all the fixin’s. We also try to send everyone home with a bag of food and some clothes. This will be at the Brentwood Vet’s Hall at 757 First St. from 10:30 to 2:30 on Thanksgiving Day. All are welcome to attend. We are usually blessed with more than enough physical help the day of the event to serve the meals, but we could always use more canned goods and/or clothing. You can drop them off at my office anytime between now and Thanksgiving Day. We are in need

of canned food (soup, tuna, veggies, fruits, etc.), non-perishables like noodles, cereal, bread, bottled drinks, etc. We can also use any type of clean, usable clothing, blankets, jackets, etc. New baby diapers in any size are also VERY popular! We are located at 320 Fairview Ave. in Brentwood. If you come by after hours, just drop them off on our porch. If you will be around on Thanksgiving Day, you could also cook and carve a turkey and bring it to the Vet’s Hall in the morning. We also love ham, and it’s easier for you to prepare. Other needs for the day of the event will be pies, sweet potatoes and stuffing. The sweet potatoes and stuffing will need to be cooked and then dropped off Thanksgiving Day in a disposable pan.

Cherry’s Tax Facts... By Cherry Comstock

Tax planning now may provide a lower tax bill later “Taxpayers should pay no more or no less than what’s owed,” said IRS Spokesperson Raphael Tulino. “While most taxpayers prefer to get a refund, some tax planning done now could boost take home pay or save money down the road.” More than three out of four taxpayers received refunds thus far in 2011 and the average refund is just over $2,800. To bring the tax paid closer to what’s actually owed, taxpayers should consider:

Withholding Adjustments Taxpayers should use IRS Publication 919, “How do I adjust my tax withholding?” or the Withholding Calculator at IRS.gov to assist with determining the proper withholding amount for their situation. Wage earners needing to adjust withholdings should complete and submit a new Form W-4, Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate, to their employer. Self-employed taxpayers can use Form 1040-ES worksheet to correctly figure their estimated tax payments.

2011 Payroll Tax Cut Millions of workers saw their take-home pay rise during 2011 because the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 provides a two percentage point payroll tax cut for employees, reducing their Social Security tax withholding rate from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent of wages paid. This reduced Social Security withholding will have no effect on the employee’s future Social Security benefits.

Summer Tax Tips Summer months often mean weddings, summer jobs, day camps, job related moves and home sales. Marital status on Dec. 31 determines marriage for that year. Taxpayers should consider which filing status is best. Joint tax deductions may allow newlyweds the opportunity to itemize deductions thus lowering their bill. Working students who can be claimed as a dependent on another tax return may be exempt from federal tax withholding if certain other conditions are met. Students are urged to read IRS form W-4 carefully before submitting to their employer. Skipping unnecessary tax withholdings generally results in a bigger paycheck. Many working parents arrange for care of their younger children under 13 during the summer. A popular solution — with favorable tax consequences — is a day camp program. Unlike overnight camps, the cost of day camp can count as an expense towards the child and dependent care credit. Up to $3,000 of work-related expenses per qualifying person or $6,000 for two or more qualifying persons can be used to figure the amount of the credit. IRS publication 503, Child and Dependent Care Credit, provides complete details. Should you have questions about this or any other tax matter feel free to contact our office. www. jettax.org, info@www.jettax.org, or call (925)778-0281. One of our enrolled agents will be happy to assist you.

The Brentwood City Council recently approved the concept art for a Delta-inspired mural to be painted by Liberty High School students next year at King Park. Students created a life-in-the-Delta design that will give visitors the impression that they’re walking under a dock in the Delta.

Normally when you see a group of teenagers painting public property, it’s a reason to alert the police. But this week the Brentwood City Council approved a project that will get a group of high school seniors out into the community to contribute to public art. Seniors in the Arts and Humanities Academy internship program at Liberty High School presented conceptual drawings to the council on Tuesday that detail a Delta-inspired mural to be painted in the tunnel at King Park, otherwise known at the Brentwood dog park. While murals traditionally take up one wall, the students proposed to utilize the entire tunnel to give visitors the feeling of being in an aquarium-like setting. Upon entering the tunnel, walkers will find themselves surrounded by fish and other wildlife that call the Delta home.

“We want it to feel like you’re in the Delta, walking under a dock,” said senior Samantha Scott, representing her team of 20 students. “You can see the fish moving around you, the water’s current moving through the seaweed, and the sunlight sparkling through the water.” Each student researched an indigenous fish and will paint it onto the mural. To create an authentic experience, students researched where the fish like to hang out – under logs or in a school with other fish – and made sure to keep predators away from their prey in the jovial underwater setting. To give the mural an educational aspect, the students will include a “find it” wall, a key featuring all the fish in the mural. Each fish will be labeled with its common name and scientific name. “We thought it would be fun for people to walk through the tunnel and be able to see Mural page 12A

The ongoing recession is forcing us to think twice before writing a donation check, and local nonprofits are feeling the pinch. That’s why, beginning next week, The Press will roll out a way you can support your favorite cause with just the click of a mouse. On Nov. 14, The Press will launch a new Facebook contest in which you’re invited to nominate your favorite 501(c)(3) nonprofit for the opportunity to win a full-page, fullcolor ad in all Press newspapers and on The Press Web site (a $2,730 value), plus a featured profile of the organization. “It’s that time of year when people want to give back, but with the way the economy is, some people don’t have the means to support their favorite local charities,” said Press Social Media Manager Michele Chatburn. “This is an outof-the-box idea that helps the community support a charity without spending a penny.

NFL version not the only super bowl Sure, we all know that the Super Bowl is special. There are many who dress up in football attire and go to game parties where there might be gambling boards set up, some mild indulging, cookies, cakes, pizza, donuts and peeled OUR grapes (maybe not ORLD the peeled grapes) like, of course, Eric Jensen’s fantastic annual Super Bowl bash in Discovery Bay. That’s all very special. BILL But … there is SCHOLLE more to bowl than just super. Did you know that there is also the Harvest Park Bowl? There’s what? Well, there are about 120 serious and semi-serious Discovery Bay and Brentwood seniors who get up very early (around 9:00) on Mondays and about the same number on Fridays and head toward the alleys. Bowling alleys. Harvest Park Bowl in Brentwood. The reason that they do that is because they’re members of the Monday Sirs or the (Friday) Summerset Seniors. You ask if they have a good time? Yes, yes they do. You ask if they bowl well? Well, there are the likes of Curtis Manning, who rolled a recent high game of 259. And there is Gregory Mattus, who notched 269. Paul Elmer scored 256 and Bob Riner 267. Bill Konold somehow bagged a 244 one day and Art Lopez sneaked in a 256 high game. For these fellows, a 200 game is about the norm. They do it all the time. Nothing special for them. They’re good. Very good. Well, how about Bob Damico’s recent 279? How about that? Or Elwood Davis’ high of 156. What, you ask, is so special about 156? I’ll tell you what – Elwood is 92! You try doing that at 92. Maybe at 82. So, you say, “Fine, those are all men … men are supposed to roll good balls and hit some pins now and then. What about women? Do women bowl too?” Karen Patterson tallied 196 a bit ago, Marelena Morgan 226, Rosie Elmer (that would be Paul’s wife) 236, Mary Branscum came up with a 225 just days ago and Connie Ryan a high of 172. Why, you might ask, is Connie Ryan in the group with an under-200 score like that? Because she’s cute … and she tries really hard, that’s why. Are there others in the group who’ve done well, too? Yes, many. Too many to name all of them. So, one queries, suppose you don’t bowl that well; suppose you’re just average or even below average. Would you be welcome there on Monday or Friday mornings if you wandered in, bought a cup of coffee and sorta just sat on a stool and watched and then maybe asked someone like Tom Kirtley if you could fill

a vacancy and get in a group and have some fun for the remaining part of the season? Yes, yes you would. That’s providing you’re a senior. Suppose you’re not a senior yet? Then you should wait until you are. When you come down and watch, you won’t believe that some of the ladies are really seniors. You might think, “How come she’s bowling? She certainly isn’t old enough. She looks like she’s still in school, not hunkerin’ up to some of these rich old guys and tellin’ them she’s old enough to participate.” And if you said that, you might just be right.

But … the old guys … they don’t mind. Not only is Harvest Park a place for seniors – it’s for everyone. In the early-morning hours, scores of kids show up for a credited high school class in the sport. They’re fun to watch. You think back and try to remember when you were that age … and you can’t. You notice, of course, how cute the girls are and how manly the boys. Many are good bowlers. All appear to be good kids. Harvest Bowl is special in many ways. Owners Jim and Anne Wangeman do an outstanding job managing the

facility. The snack bar is well staffed, the place is spotless and everything works because the Wangemans spend thousands of dollars each year in maintenance and improvements. Special events at Harvest are constantly offered. For New Year’s there’s a midnight party with dinner, bowling, favors and good times. Even though prices are reasonable, you might get a special deal if you reserve a few lanes for a birthday, a party or a private event. You’re guaranteed a good time … one you’ll remember for a long time and one you’ll want to repeat again and again. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Mural from page 8A identify their favorite fish when then get to the other side,” Scott said. “We’re going to have a ‘find it’ wall on each end of the tunnel, so you can pick a fish to look for before you walk in, too. There are a lot of ways to have fun with it. We hope people are going to like it.” The students won over Mayor Bob Taylor during Tuesday’s presentation. “I think this is really cool,” Taylor said. “This is impressive work and we’re really excited for you to get started.” Taylor looks forward to getting students involved in the community, joking that they could paint the whole town if they get started right away. Students plan to prep the site before the holiday break and begin painting in the new year. The project is to be completed before graduation. In a 4-0 vote (Councilmember Bob Brockman was absent), the council earmarked $18,000 toward the purchase of the project’s equipment and art supplies. The funding will also subsidize the application of a glossy, graffiti-proof finish to deter vandalism. With the council’s approval, Taylor sent the students off with the warm wish “Go fishin’.” For many of the students, the mural project will be their first opportunity to take part in a large-scale art project. “It’s so exciting to be a part of this and contribute to our community,” said senior Shannon Fickling. “It’s a great opportunity to challenge ourselves as artists. I’m really looking forward to getting out there.” In August, the students began brain-

storming a mural project and presented several treatments to the Brentwood Art Commission in September. The students used the commission’s feedback to refine the Delta design and returned to the commission for approval in October. For most of the students, this was their first time to get handson experience in local government. “There’s a lot more work that goes into this than we thought,” said student Rachel Dirk. “We thought it would be pretty easy, but the commission wanted every detail, from measurements to the colors. It’s been a really interesting process.” Arts and Humanities Academy internship program coordinator Katie Collins hopes this will be the first of many collaborations between the city and Liberty art students. “I’m really proud of them for their dedication and professionalism to make this project happen,” she said. “They’ve set the bar pretty high for future students who want to do a public art project.” Art Commission Chair Danny Senn agreed. “Boy, are they talented!” said Senn in an e-mail. “I think it’s a good project … I’m excited to see the first of what I hope will be many student art projects in Brentwood.” Students who will contribute to the project are Ismael Alvarez, Jakky Anstine, Danielle Bowersmith, Justin Brown, Natalie Colmenares, Teresa DeFrates, Rachel Dirk, Michelle Duarte, Shannon Fickling, Lorena Garcia, Doug Gil, Anthony Green, Debbie Love, Lauren Murphy, Michael Najera, Ana Nunag, Cassie Oseguera, Riley Ruano, Samantha Scott, DJ Trammell, Omar Valasquez, Lei Wei and Rebecca Wood.

Every day, at least 1 person comes into my office complaining that they have made all of their payments under a trial loan modification, but there has been no permanent modification. According to the latest numbers, only 4% of all trial modifications under HAMP have become permanent. The Treasury indicated in December, 2009 that it would start fining lenders for failing to complete loan modifications, but we have seen little improvement yet. Borrowers are told a host of explanations as to why there has been no permanent loan modification on their loan including missing paperwork, the loan is with a negotiator or simply that the loan modification takes time. While all of these explanations may be true, the result is that borrowers throughout the country are left in limbo not knowing whether they should try to stay or make preparations for leaving the home. To make matters worse, most borrowers know that the loan modification documentation signed by them warns that foreclosure may be immediately resumed from the point at which it was suspended if this trial modification plan terminates and no new notice of default, notice of intent to accelerate, or similar notice is required. What should they do? In order to reduce some of their anxiety, I ask them to work through a simple 3 step process to see if any loan modification really makes any sense for them. Step 1- What are the terms of the loan modification being offered? There are many types of loan modification/ forbearances being offered by lenders. However, the one most helpful to borrowers is HAMP which stands for Home Affordable Modification Program. Lenders are not required to participate in this plan. However, the biggest lenders including Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase Bank, Wells Fargo Bank, Citibank and American Home Mortgage Servicing are participating. The program lowers the interest rate to 2% for years 1-5 and increases the interest rate over the next 3 years until it is fixed in year 8 at approximately 4.5% -5.0% for the remaining term of the loan or in some instances extending the loan term to a 40 year loan. If the trial period is not for a HAMP loan modification, you should immediately contact the lender and apply for HAMP loan modification. Step 2- Can you pay off the principal balance? A good rule of thumb is that a borrower can payoff 2-2.5 times their gross household income in a home loan over the course of

their working life and go on vacation and have a child or two. Therefore, if a familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s average gross household income is $100,000, they should not have a home loan which exceeds $250,000. This is assuming a 30 year fixed loan. If a borrower has less than 30 years remaining work time, the amount should be reduced accordingly. If you determine that you are never going to â&#x20AC;&#x153;ownâ&#x20AC;? this property, is this the best use of your money? If you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have this huge mortgage payment plus property taxes, insurance and maintenance, could you be putting away more money into retirement or maybe saving for a home you could actually â&#x20AC;&#x153;own.â&#x20AC;? Step 3- Is the loan modification payment less than I would pay in rent? Assuming, the above calculation shows that you will not be able to pay off the balance of the loan over the course of your remaining work career, is the loan modification payment still less than I would pay in rent? Depending on where you live, the loan modification payment may still be less than rent you would pay in your immediate area. Loan Modifications are difficult. Most of these loans were made with little or no documentation and now the lenders seem to be requiring full loan documentation at the beginning, middle and whenever they feel like it until they decide a loan modification is granted or denied. If you are in a forever trial modification, I urge to continue a dialogue with the lender seeing if any new programs have become available which may help you. In 2010, we expect lenders with the assistance of the federal government to roll out additional loan modification programs. I recommend calling the lender at least once a week. Continue to ask if there is anything new available. A 4% permanent loan modification rate is not good, but if it improves, you do not want to miss the modification which may allow to retain your home.

Buffalo from page 1A Animal Clinic and a rescue was arranged. Ward and a group of family and friends were accompanied by a seven-member crew from the clinic last week to bring the buffalo to Byron, where she could receive the care and compassion she’d been starved of for months. Naturally, the buffalo wasn’t thrilled to be shot in the neck with a tranquilizer and didn’t go down without a fight. After a second shot put her on the ground, the UC Davis team assumed she’d been successfully sedated. But when they went to secure ropes around her, the buffalo sprang to life and ran across the corral. It took a third shot and several boosters to fully sedate her. The sedation process took nearly two hours, but the ordeal helped the Ward family name the beast. Nakoma means “great spirit” in several Native American languages and the name seemed like a perfect fit for the beast with a gentle but stubborn demeanor. Once Nakoma was sedated, the UC Davis crew wrapped ropes around her to help shift her onto a palate built by Ward to move the large mammal into the travel trailer. With the help of Craig Morrison, who operated a tractor lift, Nakoma was placed safely in the trailer and transported to her new home. UC Davis Large Animal Veterinarian Kris Flores said the rescue was a great success. Although the team was unprepared for Nakoma’s initial mad dash across the property – which sent them scattering to the safety of their van – thanks to Ward’s meticulous planning, the operation went smoothly.

COMMUNITY

“We greatly appreciated this opportunity, and it’s not something that any of us will soon forget,” Flores said. The success of the rescue was also made possible by the UC Davis veterinarians’ experience with buffalos. Veterinarian Michael Lane worked on a bison research project in Yellowstone, and Veterinarian Victor Cabrera has extensive field experience with water buffalo. Ward was thankful that such experienced professionals and their students were in charge. Going into the rescue, Ward knew there was a risk of Nakoma regurgitating while sedated and drowning in her own vomit. But luckily, after a seven-hour sedation, the buffalo awoke with no signs of trauma. Ward is waiting on blood tests to be processed by UC Davis before he considers introducing Nakoma to his other buffalo, Cheyenne. “We want to make sure Nakoma is all checked out and that she isn’t carrying any diseases that might be spread to my other animals. But when everything is OK, I’d like for Nakoma to meet Cheyenne. Nakoma spotted her the other day and seems intrigued.” As Cheyenne is 11 years old and has been queen of the ranch for many years, Ward will introduce the buffalos cautiously. Nakoma is 4 or 5 and much smaller than Cheyenne due to malnourishment, but Ward said he is working to fatten her up. “She’s a spoiled girl,” Ward said. “The rescue couldn’t have gone any better and now she’s here to stay. She’s a wonderful addition to the family.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

HomeLife helps seniors stay independent When Angela and Vinny DiNicola found themselves in the position of providing care for an elderly family member following a stay in the hospital, the couple learned firsthand the importance of quality in-home services. And it was that experience that led them to open HomeLife Senior Care in Brentwood. “Considering the needs of our own parents,” said Angela, “our desire was to use what we learned to create a premiere, affordable, in-home care service built on a foundation of compassion and dependability, offering families peace of mind by providing their loved ones with the best-trained caregivers in the industry, and the dignity and compassion they deserve.” Serving all of East County as well as Rio Vista and Tracy, the DiNicola’s company is family-owned and operated with a staff of 50 and 24-hour phone service. “We are not a franchise,” said Vinny. “HomeLife Senior Care is different because of the passion that we personally bring as owners to be the best. Our focus is on our clients, their families and on training our caregivers. We are constantly honing our systems and procedures. We personalize our service, we

The services are available on an as-needed basis with no minimum, as well as 24-hour care. All of HomeLife’s caregivers are trained as Certified Companion Aides, a nationally recognized certification program. The DiNicolas offer free, no-obligation in-home assessments to determine how HomeLife Senior Care can best meet

their clients’ current and ongoing needs. “Our clients tell us how excellent our office staff and caregivers are – and we think they’re right,” said Angela. “It’s the training we provide our caregivers and staff, our own passion, but also their compassion for seniors and their commitment to excellence that make the difference.” But for the DiNicolas, the best part of their job is helping seniors stay independent and in their own homes. “One fear that seniors have is of losing their independence,” said Vinny. “The best part is helping them to stay in their homes longer, remain independent and not experience the loss of their familiar surroundings. We make it possible for

families to enjoy their aging parents or loved ones when they are visiting, instead of care giving. “Our service also provides the family with peace of mind that their loved ones are well-cared for by caregivers who are well-trained, experienced, certified, bonded and insured … We’re different because of the passion we personally bring as owners to be the best and keep our focus, always, on the clients. It’s very rewarding.” For additional information, call HomeLife Senior Care, Inc. at 925-2405770; phone lines are answered 24 hours/ seven days a week.

Dawson recall petition moves forward by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer Efforts to recall CSD board member Brian Dawson continued this week as petitioners received approval from the County Elections Division to proceed with plans to oust the embattled town director. Proponents of the recall were given the green light by the county clerk’s office to begin collecting the required 1,649 valid signatures. The deadline for filing the completed petition with the county is Feb. 6, 2012. The recall attempt began in October following charges filed against Dawson for spousal battery and child endangerment. To date,

Benefits from page 1A thinking employees. “After the board approved participation on November 17, a board member asked if they could be covered. So I had staff send out inquiries to the board. Two members responded that they would like to participate in the dental and vision. Again, I was still thinking employees. When I took the implementation documents to the board on Dec. 20, I failed to include the words ‘and board members’ in the agenda report. The fact that ‘and board members’ was omitted was certainly not an attempt to deceive or mislead anyone … I accept responsibility for the contents of the report.” Howard’s comments came just two weeks after the town’s attorney confirmed that

Dawson has refused to step down from his seat on the town board. “Threatening residents and fellow board members with physical violence over policy disagreements is simply unacceptable,” said resident Don Flint, who is spearheading the recall effort. “Now that he is out on bail on charges for criminal child endangerment and spousal abuse, we are aware of just how dangerous Brian Dawson is. Unfortunately, he is unwilling to either provide an honest explanation for his actions or resign from the board. His fellow board members and the community will continue to make it clear that he must be removed from the board.” In a statement filed by Dawson and in-

cluded in the Notice of Intention to Circulate Recall Petition filed with the county, the CSD director asked the public for the opportunity to continue serving on the board. “It is with disappointment that I must write this response but I feel that the voters of Discovery Bay deserve an honest explanation for recent events in light of the numerous false accusations being made against me,” wrote Dawson. “I did make a mistake, and take full responsibility for my actions as my family and I work through our very personal situation. However, this mistake has no bearing on the work I do on the DBCSD board. “Serving our community is a privilege and a duty that I take very seriously. In less than

two years of serving you, I am proud of the progress that we’ve made and the leadership, innovation and positive energy I have brought to this position. I believe that each time we fall we are presented with another chance to pick ourselves up and try again as stronger, smarter versions of ourselves. It is my greatest hope that the public can forgive me for my human failing, judge me based upon the merits of my ideas and decisions as a director, and allow me to continue the work this community elected me to do. A second chance is all I ask.” As recall efforts proceed, Dawson was arraigned in court on Oct. 31 in Martinez, where he requested a public defender. He will return to court in January for a preliminary hearing.

folding the board members into the benefits package was legal and appropriate, and that the memorandum of understanding provides for active and public employees and public officials to be included. Still, some residents remained skeptical that Howard’s omission was unintentional. “You passed a resolution, a very specific resolution on November 17 and you did not contemplate elected officials,” said Jeff Barber. “On December 6, correspondence went from the CSD to all directors asking ‘who wants in?’ … Then on December 20, you bring forth this MOU and oh, you just forgot a word? You all knew – for sure you knew – you got the memo. “You tried to deceive the public on this; there is no question in my mind after reading these documents … It doesn’t matter who’s taking the benefits or not; you did something

that deceived the public.” CSD President Kevin Graves disagreed. “We didn’t vote ourselves for any benefits,” he said. “We voted for employee benefits, and by state statute, that allows us the same benefits … Again, it was a trigger mechanism; it wasn’t anything we voted on.” However, following public comment at the meeting, Director Ray Tetreault – who along with Director Chris Steele had signed on for the dental and vision portion of the plan – made a motion to take back the board’s benefits. Director Mark Simon seconded the motion. “For me, regardless of how this happened, it needs to be corrected and it needs to be corrected tonight,” said Simon. “I’m as guilty as anybody sitting on this board and we need to rescind these benefits and have it go back to

the employees and the employees only.” Steele, the newest member of the CSD, offered his explanation. “I just want to clarify the December timeframe,” he said. “I wasn’t even on the board (at the time) and I just want to correct it for the public record that I wasn’t part of those decisions. I think in January it was brought up about these benefits and I took the vision and dental, so I just want to be clear on that. And yeah, shame on you guys if you knew about this and didn’t say anything.” Director Brian Dawson, who was the lone dissenting vote in the action, said that mistakes on the board were an inevitable part of the job: “This is a board of five guys. We are all human beings, and I think that mistakes are going to be made, and hopefully we can all learn from those mistakes.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

TO THE

Phony propaganda Editor: In response to Brad Nix’s recent guest comment, “Restore honesty in Oakley government” last week, a great injustice has occurred by the publishing of that editorial. It was nothing more than a hit job against this city. I am surprised that as a former councilmember himself he is arrogant to think people have such short attention spans. It’s actually quite bizarre. Mr. Nix knows very well the council and Mr. Montgomery are not in a position to defend themselves and took advantage of the situation. His comment was irresponsible and disgusting. The Oakley Press should also take blame for publishing it without fact checking. In regard to the $50,000 deferral of payments, Mr. Nix makes it out like the city gave Mr. Montgomery a blank check. The reality is, no money exchanged and the two-year deferral is put on the back end of the loan – meaning two additional years of principal and interest will be paid at the end of the loan. He then states public corruption in the form of a Brown Act violation. He claims Mayor Jim Frazier has had a previous Brown Act violation while on the Planning Commission, claiming he was warned by the former city attorney. If this was true, what happened and where is the record? There is none! Let’s pretend this did occur; it does not mean he was guilty of an actual violation. Truth is: Mr. Nix is wrong about previous Brown Act violations. In terms of the most recent incident, how does he know a Brown Action violation occurred? Was he present to witness this firsthand? As an attorney, he should have more common sense to realize that if a council rescinds a deal and takes no action,

Mr. Nix moves on and accuses Mr. Montgomery of improperly firing an employee that resulted in an “unnecessary” lawsuit. He fails to provide any circumstances of this employee’s termination. He is of the opinion this was a bad judgment, but it doesn’t mean Mr. Montgomery’s actions were not warranted or not in the best interests of the organization. Mr. Nix provided no details to back up his example of poor judgment. In hit-and-run fashion, he immediately moved onto the claim that the city spent $500,000 on audio-visual (AV) equipment for the council chamber, and then claims it doesn’t work well enough to televise meetings. On Nov. 25, 2008, while a councilmember, Mr. Nix was quoted that the estimate to broadcast the council meetings would be a one-time $15,000 fee, with an annual $10,000 maintenance cost. This is a far cry from $500,000. According to an Oct. 10, 2008 posting on Councilmember Kevin Romick’s blog, it explains the council chambers as follows: The chambers includes four plasma TVs that serve as displays for cameras, computers and to play DVDs. A plasma TV is also included in the lobby to allow viewing of meetings outside of the chambers. The council meetings will be recorded by a DVR. Council members will have computer access from the dais. All one has to do is look at the contract between the city and Scheer Home Systems to see the city spent just under $95,000 to broadcast the council meetings. If the AV system does not work properly, rather than attack the council, maybe Mr. Nix should hold the vendor accountable – after all, Scheer Home Systems is the electronics expert, not the council. Next he claims the council wasted $12 million in redevelopment dollars for Centro-Mart, which is wrong. The entire purchase was for a 7-acre parcel that included Centro-Mart and many other addresses for a total of $6 million. In fact, on March 17, 2011, the Oakley Press ran an article about this very purchase. The city actually saved $1.6 million in the deal. Rather than fib about the purchase, Mr. Nix should say thank you for the savings. Finally, Mr. Nix takes a cheap shot at councilmember Pat Anderson about the Montgomery bonus by using a quote, “If we like you, we take care of you …” He claimed this was from a local newspaper.

Errors in Nix opinion column In response to questions concerning his Guest Comment in last week’s edition of The Press, former City Councilman and Mayor Brad Nix issued the following statements via e-mail: Nix claimed in his column that the Oakley Redevelopment Agency spent $12 million to purchase 7 acres and three buildings on Main Street, including the Centromart store. The purchase was made for $6 million. This week, Nix said, “I saw the $12 million figure in a news headline and used that number from memory. I was not able to find that article again … I do appear to be in error re the amount.” Concerning his assertion that $500,000 was spent on equipment to broadcast City Council meetings, Nix said Wednesday that he took the number from estimates for City Hall expansion work provided by City Manager Bryan Montgomery while Nix was a city councilman. A project estimate sheet from the contractor reviewed by

article even exists. Ms. Anderson has not made that statement at any of the council meetings since the mortgage deal came to light. As a former city leader, Mr. Nix should know better than to tarnish the city name with bad information. To engage in an honest debate, Mr. Nix must immediately: 1. Apologize to Mr. Montgomery. 2. Apologize to the council. 3. Issue a written apology in the Oakley Press. Oakley is a beautiful town full of good hardworking people who are honest. We do not need phony propaganda ruining its good name by a bully. Michael W. Burkholder Oakley

Outpouring for homeless students Editor: On behalf of Liberty Union High School District, I would like to thank everyone in the community for the outpouring of support and concern expressed for our homeless students. Many of you have called and e-mailed asking how you can help, what you can give, and where you can go to help the homeless students in our district. We are fortunate to receive funding through the McKinney Vento

The Press this week, however, indicates the cost for all audio-visual equipment in the entire city hall (of which the TV equipment was only a part) was to be approximately $110,000. Said Nix on Wednesday, “I have spoken to the provider of the AV equipment since the article was written, who gave me a figure off the top of his head of $150,000 for his equipment. I can only conclude that Mr. Montgomery’s figures for AV included related furnishings for the AV equipment and/or wiring work, possibly the council desks etc.” Nix’s statement did not address the discrepancy between the $150,000 and his original claim of $500,000. Concerning his comments that Montgomery had improperly fired an employee who filed suit against Oakley, Montgomery said this week that no such lawsuits have been filed. Nix said Wednesday that he was attempting to contact a former city attorney for particulars, but had been unable to do so by press time.

grant that allows me to purchase some supplies for our students to help them succeed in school during this stressful time. Because of the sensitive nature of their situation, what I do to provide for our students usually occurs on a confidential one-to-one basis, as the district needs to protect the identity of homeless students and their families. The grant does not provide for all of their needs, so if you would like to donate gift cards to stores such as Target or Walmart, we can use them for items that will help students attend school on a regular basis, such as school and personal hygiene supplies, warm clothing and shoes. For those of you want to donate clothing, food or other items, please contact your local food banks, charitable organizations and churches, as they are set up to accept these items and distribute them in the community. Again, thank you for all of your thoughtfulness on behalf of our students. If you would like to contact me, I can be reached at Liberty Union High School District: 925-634-2166, ext. 2047, 20 Oak St., Brentwood, CA 94513.

Devilish decision by Justin Lafferty Staff Writer

Heritage High senior pitcher Paul Blackburn has decided his future could use more sun – Sun Devils, that is. Blackburn on Wednesday signed his letter of intent to attend Arizona State, becoming the second Patriots baseball player to join a Pac-12 Conference school. Earlier this year, recently graduated rightfielder Ryan Howell signed on to attend Oregon State. Heritage manager Kevin Brannan is looking forward to watching the two former teammates square off. “Looking back on it, he probably could’ve been on varsity as a freshman,” Brannan said of Blackburn. “He’s a kid that wants to be on the mound in the big games.” As a junior, Blackburn established him-

self as one of the most talented hurlers in the Bay Valley Athletic League. In the 2011 season, when he was named league MVP, Blackburn went 8-3 with three saves and a 1.27 earned run average. He fanned 84 batters, second on the team to Jack Jorgenson, and held opposing hitters to a .220 batting average. He said he chose to become a Sun Devil because of his affinity with the coaches and the school’s pedigree. Arizona State manager Tim Esmay was the Pac-12 Coach of the Year in 2010, and the Sun Devils boast alumni such as Barry Bonds, Reggie Jackson and Dustin Pedroia. “I’ve worked hard to try and get where I am, and Arizona State is one of the best programs in the country,” Blackburn said. “They’ve had a lot of success. And it’s sunny every day, so you can’t go wrong with that.”

wrenching on the car, and at the same time somehow maintaining his or her own lap times. Although they could be great at what they do, overall they are still learning their craft and do not dedicate 100% of their focus on the home loan side of things. On the other hand, a licensed mortgage loan originator could be compared to a Sprint Cup Series caliper driver. They have put their time in, taken on an extensive program to earn their credentials, and truly earned the privilege of assisting with your mortgage. They’re required to take on twenty hours of nationally sanctioned classes, pass a national exam and a separate state exam, as well as subject themselves to a FBI criminal background check. From there an annual credit report is pulled to ensure they’re not mishandling their own credit and they’re listed on a na-tional website for all consumers to see. Overall they truly respect you, the consumer, their profession, and themselves. To check the track record of your mortgage loan originator visit www. nmlsconsumeraccess.org. My “driver’s license” number is 240131 and I encourage you to view the stats of any potential mortgage loan originator, or “driver,” you’ll be allowing to drive for your family. As always, I welcome all questions and or concerns pertaining to real estate lending on my cell phone, 925-726-1444, or via email, tfreymortgages@yahoo.com.

Have you ever wondered just what it takes to become a NASCAR driver? I have. Before doing my research I thought, “Just how hard can it be to hold the pedal to the floor and the wheel to the left?” Well, as it turns out there is much more to the competitive sport and NASCAR has truly evolved from its down south origins: a disorganized competitive outlet for illegal whiskey traffickers in the south, where guys honed their driving skills by evading law enforcement and tax collectors. Drivers in the twenty first century have to be in excellent physical condition, intelligent enough to communicate with their crew, and dedicated enough to excel in many lower levels – the Busch Cup and the Nationwide Series – before being allowed to compete at NASCAR’s highest level, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. So just like NASCAR wouldn’t allow a Busch Cup driver onto a super speed way such as Daytona for a Sprint Cup Series race, you shouldn’t let a bank teller, or a bank’s registered loan officer into the driver’s seat of your home’s financial future. A bank’s registered loan officer, in the mortgage world, is equivalent to a Busch Cup driver. They go through routine background checks – preformed by the bank they work for – and that’s it. It is as simple as “today’s rate is xyz.” They handle your mortgage, your bank account(s), and in some cases your car loan. That would be as if a stock car driver was responsible for driving the car,

Oakley jet skier soars at competition by Michael Dixon Correspondent

Derrick Kemnitz Jr. describes himself as a normal 18-year-old kid from Oakley. While that’s true, one thing that sets the 2011 Freedom High graduate apart is his prowess on a jet ski. In that regard, Kemnitz is far from normal. In the recent International Jet Boat Association World Finals at Lake Havasu, Ariz., Kemnitz beat 12 competitors from around the world to take the amateur freestyle title. His goal going in was to earn a top-three finish and end up somewhere on the podium. “We built a nicely tuned ski,” Kemnitz said. “Hearing the judges call out my name for first place was huge shocker. I was really stoked.” Kemnitz’s love of jet skiing comes from his dad and coach, Derrick Sr. Five years ago, the younger Kemnitz began jet skiing. In 2010, he participated in the amateur freestyle event and, according to his standards, didn’t finish well. He attributed that to focusing too much on racing, and not on the freestyle element. This year, Kemnitz placed more emphasis on his bag of tricks. Working at The Ski Clinic in Antioch, which his family owns, gave Kemnitz and his dad the opportunity to get out on the water and broaden his repertoire. “We’d wait for the right time of day when it gets quiet,” Derrick Sr. said. “I’d send him out on his own and watch him ride. Then he’d come back, I give him some pointers, making sure his head is on right, and send him back out. As we got closer to the finals, we would do that three times a week. It seemed to work out really well.” After winning the amateur level, Kemnitz participated in the professional event – a 16-man field that, ironically, included his father. Kemnitz finished ninth

there, a result he hopes to improve on in 2012. To do that, he and his dad believe the tricks need to get even bigger. Since the professional level requires no wasted motion, Derrick Sr. sees that as the greater adjustment for his son. “It’s one after another, after another,” Derrick Sr. said. “When he lands a trick, he needs to do another instantly. Of course, the equipment will better allow for that now that he’s on the pro class.”

While Kemnitz described the supporting entourage that journeyed to Lake Havasu as a “caravan,” he considers his parents, Derrick Sr. and Taunia, his biggest support system. “He started out doing little bunny hops,” Taunia said. “He was practicing all the time and wanted to reach the podium. When they called his name, a rush of emotions went through me. I’m so proud of him.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Vet remembers what matters most by Rick Lemyre Staff Writer The memories come slowly to Jack Papazian. Settled deeply into a comfortable chair at Cortona Park, the 90-year-old veteran’s eyes gaze out from beneath a black ball cap that reads “USS Putnam, DD-757,” the front-row seat from which the radioman second class experienced some of the seminal events of World War II in the Pacific. When Pearl Harbor was attacked in 1941, the 21-year-old Papazian was working odd jobs in Detroit, and he knew what had to be done – at least in general. He knew he had to enlist, but saw little difference in the various branches of service. So in February of 1942, he joined the Navy to do his part – whatever that might turn out to be. “I didn’t even think about it,” he said. “It was the thing to do, what had to be done.” Papazian spent his first years in the Navy operating his radio from a remote island in Alaska’s Aleutian Islands. In 1944, however, he became one of the inaugural crew of the destroyer USS Putnam, and duty got far more hazardous. The Putnam arrived at Iwo Jima on DDay, Feb. 19, 1945, supporting the invasion by pounding Japanese positions with her six 5-inch guns. At night, she crept dangerously close to shore to fire “star” shells that illuminated Japanese troop concentrations as the battle raged. All the while, Radioman Papazian sat at his post on the ship’s bridge, keeping the ship in touch. However, asked about the sound, fury and spectacle of it all, Papazian struggles to recall. “I can’t remember,” he said with ON THE COVER: A few of the many of local veterans who have appeared in The Press during the last two years.

a shrug and a slight shake of his head. It’s an answer he returns to frequently during the interview, though his misty eyes seem to suggest that the memories are still there. Life in the Navy “was hard at first, but I got used to it,” he said. He’d left behind his sweetheart, Pat, whom he’d met at the age of 10 and would return from war to marry. Pat helped build bombers while Jack was away, getting love letters up to twice a week from her sailor. “He was really good about writing,” said Pat, adding that his letters didn’t allude to what he’d been up to. “I couldn’t talk about work” because it was classified, Jack said. “I just told her how much I loved her.” In fact, most of Jack’s memories are of Pat. Hers was the only picture he hung on the walls around his tiny, three-deep bunk. When things got frightening, it was Pat who helped him stay calm from thousands of miles away. “I thought about her,” he said, nodding toward her as she smiled in return. “That’s it. I thought about her.” He thought about her when, off the coast of Okinawa, kamikaze planes attacked the Putnam. In one attack, as four of the suicidal Japanese pilots tried to ram her, the ship’s three dozen anti-aircraft guns shot down three of them. The fourth, according to reports at the time, was destroyed when an American pilot knocked it out of the sky by crashing into it with his own plane. Papasee Remembering page 3B

Pat Papazian looks on as her husband, World War II veteran Jack, talks about his service. Sweethearts before the war, the coupled married after it ended, and raised ﬁve children.

Remembering from page 2B zian confirmed that it happened, but under gentle probing his eyes again got misty, he shrugged, and said, “I don’t remember.” The Putnam also received commendations for rescuing 118 sailors from an ammunition ship that had been torpedoed, venturing close enough to pluck survivors from the water despite exploding ammunition from the other ship. Reminded of the incident, Papazian got misty, nodded silently, and shrugged. His face lit up, however, when asked about coming home at war’s end. He remembers riding to Pat’s house on a streetcar in Oakland, his seabag over his shoulder. He remembers hugging her for a long time, and

Pat smiles as she remembers, too. The couple has five children, seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. World War II veterans, it’s said, are passing away at the rate of 1,000 per day. Unfortunately, they take with them many of the memories of a pivotal time in American history. For many of those who remain, those memories grow foggier by the day. Jack Papazian seems to be OK with that, though. The thing to remember, he said, is not what he went through, but “what the country went through.” His own memories of the war might be fading fast, but what carried him through it is still fresh in his mind, and sitting across from him, smiling.

ANTIOCH Nov. 5, 2:45 p.m. The owner of vacant properties on the 200 block of West 17th Street encountered a subject apparently attempting to steal copper wire from one of his houses. The subject threatened the homeowner, who defended himself by shooting the man several times. The homeowner then called police. At this time, the homeowner has not been arrested. The Antioch Police Department believes the shooting was done in self-defense and does not plan to file charges. The district attorney’s office will make the final decision once the investigation is complete. The homeowner has been cooperative throughout the investigation.
