Fire district Enjoying the fair redesigns logo

May 25, 2018

Read All About Pets

by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer

East Contra Costa Fire Protection District personnel and vehicles will soon sport a new look.

The fire board recently approved plans to change the district’s logo to reinforce the organization’s identity and allow firefighters to represent an image they created.

The old design was crafted in 2002 when the Bethel Island, East Diablo and Oakley fire districts were formed.

The makeover is slated to cost between $6,270 and $10,270.

“Changing our logo provides us the opportunity to immediately share with everyone within our jurisdiction who we are and, in some ways, who we are not,”

This week’s special section features all the things we love about our furry friends. Page 1B

City pulls out all stops for new signs

by Aly Brown Staff Writer

The City of Oakley Public Works Department has been busy replacing faded stop signs.

While street signs are an essential component of road safety and drivers learn their meanings and rules before earning that coveted license, few may think about the process behind the scenes that gets them in place.

As the city has been freshening up its faded stop signs, officials shared the process of where and how the signs are created.

“Most signs are ordered from a private vendor, though we have been able to buy the high-quality reflective decals and apply them ourselves on the existing aluminum signs,” said City Manager

“ Thank you (City of Oakley) for taking the time to replace numerous faded stop signs and other traffic signage. Even this small step will help improve traffic safety and hopefully reduce accidents. Please thank Public Works for me.

”

Fire Captain Brian Oftedal Bryan Montgomery.

The reflective material plays a part in protecting the signs’ surfaces from the sun’s damaging rays, which – along with exposure at certain locations – can impact longevity. Some signs can last 10 years or more before fading to the the point of needing replacement.

As Oakley set to address those

signs that had faded, some parts were salvable.

“With regard to stop sign faces, they are just replaced – either completely or with the reflective decal that we roll on ourselves,” said Nancy Marquez, assistant to the city manager. “At times, we can reuse the existing post, but sometimes the entire sign post is in need

of replacement.”

With the replacement, the cost to the city can depend on the size, but it’s in the range of $80 to $100 per plate, not including staff time or the replacement of the post. If all that is needed is a new decal, the cost is only $20. So far, the city has replaced about 60 signs, and the effort has not gone unnoticed.

“Thank you (City of Oakley) for taking the time to replace numerous faded stop signs and other traffic signage,” Fire Captain Brian Oftedal tweeted on April 24.

“Even this small step will help improve traffic safety and hopefully reduce accidents. Please thank Public Works for me.”

U-pick season officially underway “ Memorial Day weekend

by Damian Bartl-Lewin Correspondent

It’s harvest time in Brentwood, and local U-pick farms are preparing for the many Memorial Day weekend visitors hoping to fill their baskets with berries, peaches, apricots and, of course, cherries.

“Memorial Day weekend is typically the busiest weekend for cherries and other early crops and kicks off the busy U-pick season,” said Steve Gursky, Harvest Time Brentwood president, stating the season typically brings up to 200,000 people to the area.

Harvest Time Brentwood, which provides printed maps as well as a newly launched app, currently features over 40 U-pick farm locations that are open to the public and offer a wide variety of the region’s seasonal items.

“We have multiple farms open for Upick throughout the season,” added Gursky.

“And the best way to get the latest information on available crops and farms is to download our app and visit our Facebook page.”

With so many people expected over the weekend and with the crop volume being low due to late rains and hail, some farmers wonder if they’re ready for the incoming crowds.

“I hope so,” said Melody Murphree of Mike’s U-pick.

Mike’s, along with many other growers, has already experienced short supply and has had to turn away visitors over the

Ellie, 5, and Natalie, 3, Benkovic made the trip from San Jose to pick cherries at Mike’s U-pick in Brentwood on Friday, May 18. High demand and limited quantities saw some customers turned away from certain farms and fruit stands. past weekend.

“We opened up four whole rows this morning,” said Murphree as she stood in the middle of Payne Avenue directing traffic away from the farm Sunday, May 20. “And they were wiped out by noon.”

Due to the high demand and short supply, many growers advise calling ahead

before coming out to the area this weekend.

“Especially if you’re traveling,” said Robin Maggiore, owner of Maggiore Cherry Ranch. “You know what’s going to be open and what’s not.”

Some locations have already begun leaving recorded messages for those looking to visit their farms over Memorial Day

Weekend.

“We should have cherries, yellow peaches, blueberries and blackberries,” stated the recorded message for Heritage Family Farm, however, it went on to add, “blueberries and blackberries both sell out very quickly.”

With big crowds and low supply, some recommend showing up as early as possible to help guarantee visitors get what they’re looking for.

“Don’t wait until the Monday holiday to visit,” said Gursky, “as many farms will likely be picked out for the weekend

by Monday. However, there will still be lots of great fruit from our farm members throughout the summer.”

Relay for Life of the Delta ready to roll

by Alexandra Riva Correspondent

The newly formed Relay for Life of the Delta is gearing up for the American Cancer Society’s annual fundraising event, scheduled for June 23 and 24 at Los Medanos College in Pittsburg.

The East County cities of Antioch, Brentwood, Oakley and Pittsburg, which previously operated independent events are joining forces under one umbrella this year, and co-leader Jamie Rackley said support for the new Relay continues to grow.

“We have more bodies, more ideas and an energy that I cannot even begin to describe to you,” said Rackley. “It is amazing. I am so excited and cannot wait for our event.”

For Rackley, this is more than just a fundraising event in the name of cancer research. Six years ago Rackley was diagnosed with cervical cancer, and while she is now cancer-free, she remains dedicated to the cause.

“That’s why this event means so much to me,” she said. “Our previous Antioch Relays have been a success, because groups of individuals with the same passion and goals came together sharing their strengths, creativity and ideas to educate people about screenings and prevention to honor those who have fought and won against cancer, those who are still fighting and to our loved ones we have lost to cancer.”

Anh Nguyen, American Cancer Society community-development manager, said combining

Relay events this year allows for a stronger presence in the community and the opportunity to raise even more dollars in the fight against cancer.

“The event has fundraised over $50,000, relatively about how much was raised at the end of 2017 event season for many of the individual relays in this area,” said Nguyen. “So far, there are about 65 teams registered, 300 participants registered and countless sponsorship from community businesses and organizations.”

Ally Jenkins receives a third lung transplant

by Aly Brown

Ally Jenkins, who recently underwent a rare third lung transplant, is seen here with her longtime boyfriend, Mason Sargent.

Sargent proposed in February, and the two look forward to Ally’s full recovery and an October wedding in the redwoods.

Staff Writer

East County’s own Ally Jenkins recently became the 27th person in the world to receive a third lung transplant, and she has big plans for the future.

Already walking two miles a day since her double lung transplant surgery on April 29, Ally is making plans to appear as a guest speaker with local churches and hire a ghostwriter to pen a book about her journey – a journey that will take yet another turn in the road as she plans to wed her longtime boyfriend Mason Sargent, whom she’s known since kindergarten. The couple became engaged in February.

“It’s so great that my fiance proposed to me, especially right now, because it kind of takes the focus off healing and helps me get excited for a little bit of normalcy,” Ally said, further sharing she hoped to have a wedding in the redwoods in October 2019.

Ally, a former Freedom High School cheerleader, was only 14 in 2009 when she was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension prior to receiving her first double lung transplant that year. After her body rejected the lungs, doctors determined she would need another pair. While the results of the second transplant in 2010 gave everyone high hopes, on May 23, 2017, Ally was diagnosed with Stage 4 acute rejection and admitted to the ER. After the rejection of the first two sets of lungs, Ally was evaluated for eligibility for a third surgery, which was approved in January

this year.

One hurdle in the process, however, has been that Ally needed to complete 23 sessions of pulmonary rehabilitation under the supervision of a medical team at Duke University Hospital in North Carolina – a process that required her parents to take long periods of time away from work and set up temporary residence in the state. While being away has presented its own hardships, Ally’s mother Vickee said they have been thoroughly impressed with the team at Duke.

McDonald & mannion DISCOVERY BAY Law Office

“Ally went from 97 to 117 pounds – (the pulmonary sessions) really get you prepared for surgery,” said Vickee. “She’s doing awesome. She had some bumps in the road – nothing major at all – it was fluid in her lungs, which is very normal and the doctors warned us about. But since this is not our first rodeo, we understand bumps in the road.”

When Ally spoke with The Press last week, she had chest tubes and was on oxygen to help drain the fluid.

“Her (medical team at Duke) is very ex-

cited and encouraged. They’re pretty proud of themselves – I mean, they just completed a third lung transplant,” said Vickee, who noted Ally’s case to be only the second of its kind for the North Carolina hospital, which has a nationally ranked pulmonary program.

Despite the fluid, Ally said she’s feeling really good and noted this surgery has been a world of difference when compared to the first two.

“It’s already a huge improvement. It’s crazy because I can talk and not get out of breath anymore,” said Ally. “Everyone has been so supportive and encouraging here at Duke. When I’m walking up and down the hall, all the nurses are cheering me on.”

But because the surgery was the third for Ally, her discharge will also involve a rigorous program of 23 more sessions, during which time her medical team will supervise her recovery as she stays on in North Carolina for at least an additional six weeks.

On recovery, public speaking and writing a book, Ally said that ultimately she will strive to bring others hope through sharing her extraordinary journey.

“Being able to have a third lung transplant ... because it’s so rare, I’m excited my story might pave the way for others,” she said.

Though the restrictions for Ally will be few once she makes a full recovery, she will need to continue anti-rejection medication for the rest of her life. To help the family offset expenses, visit www.gofundme.com/allybreathes.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR HOME LOOK LIKE A MODEL HOME

by Tony Kukulich Staff Writer

Erin Roberts, principal of Vintage Parkway Elementary School in Oakley, grew up in a home where both her parents were teachers, but she did not set out to follow in their footsteps.

“Both my parents are teachers,” said Roberts. “I grew up in a house full of teachers, and my aunts were also teachers.”

After graduating from Antioch High School where Roberts was active in cheerleading, swimming, water polo and student government, she attended UC Davis and earned her Bachelor of Science in human development. Shortly after graduation, Roberts’ interests shifted from the sciences to education.

“When I got back from school, my parents were still teaching, so I’d go in and help them with their classes,” explained Roberts.

“It became for me what I enjoyed. It became more of a passion. I was more drawn to that than some of the sciences.”

Roberts earned her teaching credentials at St. Mary’s College and got her first fulltime position teaching kindergarten at Ayers Elementary School in the Mt. Diablo Unified School District, the same school where both of her parents had taught.

Roberts moved to Brentwood and started working in the Brentwood Union School District where she began taking some administra-

tive assignments. These assignments spurred her desire to have an impact on education beyond her classroom. That led her to a role as assistant principal at Gehringer Elementary in Oakley four years ago, and two years ago she became principal at Vintage Parkway.

Away from the classroom, Roberts spends time with her two daughters who are both in high school. They enjoy hiking in the local parks and traveling to Lake Tahoe.

“As an administrator, you’re sharing what our vision is,” said Roberts. “We’re bringing everything together with students and staff. We’re working toward what it is that we want from our students – what that end goal is ... For me as leader of this school, it’s driving this ship and staying on course by providing the best programs, the best information and involving our parents as much as possible as we go through the process.”

Do you ever go look at new home models, then wish your home could look like that? There are some tricks they use to make their models look brighter and larger on the inside. If you are thinking of putting your home on the market, you may be able to borrow some of these ideas.

You’ll notice there are usually no screens on the windows. This lets more light in. They also usually have more lights than a normal home. There will be extra can lights in the ceiling and under-cabinet lighting, plus lots of lamps and accessory lighting anywhere they can. On top of that, they use extra-high wattage light bulbs, which throw off more light.

But the real kicker is the furniture.

Take a look the next time you are looking at new homes and you will find some furniture that isn’t exactly normal-sized.

Often, the kitchen table will be smaller than usual, and in many of the bedrooms, the beds will be extra-small. This puts

more space in between the furniture and the walls, making the rooms look larger than they actually are. They will also choose furniture with lots of glass tops and thin legs, so you can see right through them, as opposed to the big, bulky couches that are actually more comfortable. Also, you’ll often find lots of mirrors, which again makes the space seem larger than it actually is.

Then, they try to get you to imagine yourself enjoying the home. They’ll have a novel laying on a chair with a blanket, so you can see yourself having a quiet moment reading. Sometimes, I’ll see a board game in progress. I’ll often see bath salts on a towel on the master tub so you can envision yourself soaking in the tub.

aw me open and count my rings.” That’s the answer Willie Tyler’s little buddy, Lester, gives when asked how old he is. Tyler saw ventriloquists like Paul Winchell on television, and he started performing in Detroit, Michigan, at the age of 10.

While still in grade school, he took a correspondence ventriloquist course from a “Popular Mechanics” magazine ad. Between school and delivering newspapers, Tyler would find time to perform in variety shows and talent contests, during which time he developed his craft.

After four years in the U.S. Air Force, Tyler returned to Detroit, and a few years later, he signed with the Motown Record Corporation. For the next eight years, he and Lester toured with all the Motown greats.

OBITUARY

MAY 25, 2018

Soaring high

Apolinar G. Golfo

July 11, 1924 – May 7, 2018 Apolinar G. Golfo passed away peacefully at the age of 93.

Golfo, or “Papa,” served in the U.S. Navy from 1946 to 1966 and then for a few years in the reserves. He served in three wars – WWII, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. We all know him as a calm, strong and quiet man, who loved to cook wonderful dishes. He made good chicken a la king, and he loved his steaks rare. We will miss him, and he will always be in our hearts.

Funeral services will be at Glorious Gardens, Cavite, Philippines.

N

icholas Daniel Labrador, an 18-year-old senior at De La Salle High School, will be holding his Eagle Court of Honor on June 16 at Holy Rosary Church, Dominican Hall, 131 A St., in Antioch. For his Eagle Scout project, Nicholas designed and built cat boxes for the Tony La Russa Animal Rescue Foundation in Walnut Creek.

Nicholas is a member of Troop #159 and is the son of Danny and Teresa Labrador.

Estate planning for the entrepreneur – have you ever given any thought to the issue? I bet you have. Having an estate plan is necessary for everyone. It is even more so for the entrepreneur.

The most common financial protections for most entrepreneurs are 1) insurance 2) savings and 3) luck. Having sufficient insurance and savings provides some assurance, but its not enough. Most of us are not that lucky. For most entrepreneurs, the business relies on you personally. If something happens to you, the business is likely affected as well, even with insurance and savings. There are several documents every entrepreneur must have.

They include a will, living trust, power of attorney and possibly others. The new entrepreneur typically fails to see the value of these documents.

However, as time goes by and the business grows, these documents become absolutely essential. The statistics are scary: 65% of entrepreneurs have none of these documents. Most entrepreneurs never give any thought to what happens to the business if they die or become incapacitated. That is a mistake and can easily lead to the failure of the business. A

power of attorney allows you to appoint an agent to operate your business if you are unable to do so. A living trust and other documents allow you to decide what happens to your business after you die. Failing to plan for these issues is a plan for your business to fail. It does not take much time, and the costs are minimal compared to doing nothing.

Following through with a plan provides you with peace of mind and security that goes beyond having insurance and savings. Once completed, entrepreneurs and their families are much happier, because a plan is in place regarding the business you put so much time and effort into. If (or more like when) the worst happens, planning for it now provides peace of mind and avoids the late night worries we all go through. If you are a business owner, do not delay establishing your estate plan.

You owe it to your family and yourself.

Be a safe driver this U-pick season Contra Costa County Public Works, in coordination with Brentwood Harvest Time, has placed a message board on Walnut Boulevard (North of Marsh Creek Road) in close proximity to participating farms.

The sign reads, “Harvest season, drive safely” to caution drivers to observe traffic laws and remain safe during the busy harvest season. Residents

and harvest participants should expect delays during this time.

Brentwood Harvest Time and Public Works encourage everyone to plan their routes accordingly in the surrounding area. The U-pick season draws over 180,000 visitors each year.

Delays should be expected on Highway 4 from Knightsen through Byron.

Agent Showcase

Your key to finding the right local real estate professional.

I like to think I’m a new kind of real estate professional.

I combine the personal service of a traditional, neighborhood agent with the latest, web-based and mobile technologies to create an efficient, secure and convenient transaction. I am an East Bay native and a second-generation realtor. I studied economics at Westmont College, in Santa Barbara, and I did my graduate work at

the University of Colorado at Denver. I also have a certificate in computer programming from Denver Technical College. I specialize in marketing and selling single-family homes and other residential units for primary owneroccupants and investors throughout East Contra Costa County. Brentwood is my home, but my friends and clients take me to Antioch,

Oakley and Discovery Bay almost daily. I don’t just work in these neighborhoods, I live my life in them. My dad taught me real estate is about cooperation, about serving others and, mostly, about hard work. My experience has also taught me it is as rewarding as anything else I could do; my clients always become my friends, even if we don’t start out that way.

Determining the right time to retire Grandpa and I retired almost a year ago.

We didn’t retire from everything, but we both did leave our regular full-time jobs and closed our small family business.

It was not only a huge decision but one that really took a lot Senior of thought, planning orner and processing.

Mixed with both emotion and logic, at our ages of mid-60s and early 70s, it was a choice whose time had come.

So when is it time to retire? In Marla my parent’s day, it Luckhardt was 65 years of age and you’re done. Give the boss your notice, collect your Social Security, get the Thomas Brothers map out and hit the road. Today, the decision is based on many other factors.

The big question is were you able to do enough planning regarding finances?

Do you have an ample amount in your 401K, IRA, annuities, bonds, stocks or savings accounts? What is an ample amount, exactly? Have you made wise decisions with your investments and do you still own any properties that may produce income? These are all factors that should be calculated before making that huge retirement decision.

C

Most people must try to live on Social Security, and those who do not have a pension or other retirement income have to be frugal with their fixed income. Two percent raises every few years does not cut it when it comes to the cost of living increases. Budgeting is crucial, since the monthly cash outflow may be more than the intake.

Take into consideration what the minimum cost per month will be and then evaluate the unknowns. If the mortgage is paid off on a home that you own, there are still taxes, utilities and, in some cases, HOA dues. If you still have a loan on your house and it’s not based on a fixed rate, remember that it will fluctuate, most probably upward.

Car payments, insurance and basic car maintenance are usually expenses for those who still drive. Medicare is taken right out of your Social Security check, but any supplemental insurance is out of pocket.

Telephone bills and cable television are monthly bills. The cost of watching the news or anything else is not free like it was in the good old days of “I Love Lucy” and “The Mickey Mouse Club.”

Basic needs, such as food and supplies, vary a bit but are still a monthly expense.

There are also a lot of other variables to consider – one most importantly is related to health. We all get aches and pains, but as we get older,

we have more and more doctor visits and possible hospital stays. Although insurance helps, it doesn’t always pay the entire bill, so having a medical buffer in your budget is an essential consideration.

Without proper coverage, a medical situation can be financially catastrophic.

Nobody knows how long they will live, and people are indeed living a lot longer due to advances in heath care.

It’s a real juggling act to still save for emergencies, while enjoying some of that money for your rightfully earned retirement. Grandpa says we have to balance it, but do the things we are still physically able to do before we sing the ‘coulda woulda shoulda’ theme song. Not that we are off to buy a jet or purchase an island off the coast of Italy any time soon, but a few nice road trips, some movies with popcorn and dinners out at a favorite restaurant with friends are definitely in order.

Based on your age and family history, it might help to take your total assets and your income each month and divide it by an approximate of your future years. Tough call, but at least you can have some kind of guideline of what you should try to live on.

Then, you factor in those ‘who knew’ expenses. Just like our bodies, things we own break down. A hot water heater or dishwasher might need to be replaced at some time, and although I can wash my 32A

Celebrating 70 years on the Delta

by Amy Schrader Staff Writer

The San Joaquin Yacht Club has been making waves for 70 years with no plans to slow down.

Celebrating their milestone anniversary this June, members of the club, which was chartered in 1948, are proud of their rich maritime history, unique clubhouse and warm and welcoming members.

“We are celebrating our 70th year as a chartered yacht club, and we are very proud of this,” said Patricia Atkins, club commodore. “We are also proud to be known as one of the friendliest clubs around.”

Even though the club has been established for nearly a quarter of a century, they are always welcoming new members to join.

“We welcome any prospective members to be signed in as a visitor so that they may check out some of our fun events,” said Yvonne Morrison, rear commodore.

The yacht club hosts events throughout the year, including a crab feed, Super Bowl party, holiday events, Kentucky Derby party, poker runs, patio boat cruises and other themed events. They also have many cruise ins and cruise outs with other yacht clubs.

One of the club’s most unique characteristics is its clubhouse, the Sutter, which is an authentic river barge.

“Being a member of the San Joaquin Yacht Club allows participation of all of our events and use of our clubhouse

“What??” she exclaimed.

“Go over to the testing area, and tell the man in the blue jacket you’re ready,” said the clerk.

“But I’m not ready!” Haley said, trying to flip to the pages the clerk had mentioned.

We found the last two empty chairs and sat down for a minute, so she could cram for the exam.

Haley felt ready to take the test. She notified the man in the blue coat, and he assigned her to a computer. I found a different chair next to a nice older woman who had her eye on a very old man wearing a tweed cap in the testing area.

“That’s my husband,” she whispered to me. “He’s 83. He knows he can’t drive anymore, but he desperately wanted his driver’s license, so I drove him here.”

How sweet! Now that is love. Who would voluntarily go through this just to save the man’s pride? He shuffled over to the line where you find out if you passed the test or not. I heard the clerk tell him he passed!

His wife and I smiled and gave each other a thumb’s up. She walked over to him and helped him through the sea of chairs and dozing people and finally out the door. His smile lit up the place.

An older gentleman took the seat beside me and instantly started up a conversation.

He didn’t like that the DMV has changed their number system, and I agreed. Instead of the numbers going in order, so you know if your turn is coming, someone had the bright idea to assign you a number beginning with your initials and ending with the last 4 digits of your phone number! It isn’t in numerical order, so you are kept in the dark of where you are in line until you hear your number.

You’d better not be napping.

It was Haley’s turn to find out her score.

A few minutes later, she turned to me and gave me a big, pleased-with-herself smile. I smiled back, proud of her, but also dreading the months ahead of teaching her how to drive. It never gets easier. I introduced Haley to my new friend Milton, who offered her congratulations and a handshake. I almost hated to say goodbye.

On the way home Haley said, “It’s not as bad as you said it was, Mom. Every time I looked at you, you were smiling.”

I guess if you look hard enough, you can find a little joy just about anywhere. Even at the DMV.

L

If you have ever wondered what hell is like, just visit the Pittsburg DMV. For starters, the people waiting in line – and there are two very long lines stretching outside and around the corner of the building – all look like they are waiting to have gum surgery.

Hangin’ in There is not a smile to be found, but there is here a lot of coughing and other assorted gross noises coming from these miserable folks.

Catching my reflection in the window, I realized I was one of them.

Vicki I was at the DMV McKenna because it’s time for Haley, my fifth and final child, to learn how to drive. After weeks of studying the driver’s handbook, she felt ready to take the permit test. I made an appointment, assuming it would make the whole process go quicker. It didn’t.

One of the very long lines was the line for people with appointments. I found this out when I attempted to enter the lobby and the security guard yelled at me and pointed to the end of the line.

“But we have an appointment!” I protested.

“So do all of them!” he said, scowling.

A cold wind was blowing. People zipped up their coats and pulled up their hoods.

Small children were crying, and little twisters of garbage flew around our feet. The woman in front of me said “Thank God” under her breath when the line finally moved.

She was wearing an Antioch Unified shirt, so I had to ask, “Are you a bus driver?”

“Yes, I am,” she said, smiling at us.

The first smile of the day! We chatted for a bit, and it was clear she loved her job.

She was hoping to get back in time for her afternoon pick-up. She was applying for a disabled sticker for her car due to a recent hip surgery. It was her third attempt.

We approached the clerk who looked at Haley’s driver’s handbook.

“Um, that’s the wrong book you have there. Here’s the new one. Read up on page 97 and pages 102 to 108. It’s all changed now.”

Haley looked like a deer caught in the headlights.

Special meeting a huge success

Editor: The Delta Democrats are pleased to announce a huge success with our special meeting, held at the Somersville Towne Center Mall, on Saturday, (May) 19.

Special guest and keynote speaker Diana Becton was most inspiring.

Her focus and intentions for moving the county forward and out of the unfortunate events of the past are not only great ideas but ultimately very well thought through and highly workable.

The Delta Dems wish to extend a special thank-you to Ms. Becton (and members of her team) for being our guest as well as many others who also came to assist and lend their energy to making this meeting run smoothly.

These people include, but are in no way limited to, Beckett Kelly from Congressman McNerney’s office; Harry and Valerie Thurston from Indivisible East Contra Costa; Robyn from the Lambda Democrats; and many others. I apologize if I have omitted any names – you were all wonderful!

This spirit of cooperation is what will move us forward, not only as a county but also as a nation. Many thanks to all who participated in any way!

Setting the record straight

Editor I am writing in response to Ms. Jahnke’s letter last week regarding the fight against a new Goodwill store in Brentwood.

As part of the neighborhood, unofficial ‘task force’ on the issue (those of us attending the meetings, brainstorming, keeping each other informed on current update and reaching out to city council members), I felt disappointed when reading her opinion, since it means only that we have not done the job we set out to

do to educate our neighbors.

For that, I strongly urge Ms. Jahnke and any other Brentwoodian who is not clear on the matter to attend the next city council meeting on the issue (tentatively set for June 26), so they can hear all of the logistical, environmental and legal reasons our neighborhood has been opposed to this backdoor deal. I would also urge those same people to pack a lawn chair and sit for a few hours by the intersection in question, so they can see firsthand the traffic and pedestrian issues that are already precarious.

This issue has a lot of prejudice to it. When people first hear we don’t want Goodwill in our neighborhood, they automatically assume we are pretentious, uptight people who ‘look down’ on certain individuals who may work at or frequent these facilities. That couldn’t be further from the truth.

We are concerned about traffic, pedestrian safety and the value of our homes in our neighborhood. We are also concerned that this (first time for many of us) experience dealing with city council has been eye-opening regarding how businesses are let into our community.

I, for one, vow to be more watchful of any future applications coming through and will want to make sure they too are following environmental and traffic laws.

Ms. Jahnke, I am so glad you enjoy donating to and shopping at Goodwill.

Please continue to do so at the current one on Lone Tree, or better yet, the brand new, St. Vincent de Paul, right across the street from where this site in question is. Otherwise, if you are looking for an adult training centers in the area (which you claim are sorely needed), be sure to check out the following: Liberty Adult Education, Los Medanos, and (gasp) St. Vincent de Paul just to name a few.

Please educate yourselves, and let’s keep Brentwood a safe place to call home!

Building site for Goodwill is not a good idea

Editor: Our neighborhood concerns are not unfounded – they are factual.

Goodwill is proposing a 25,000-square-foot, profitable recycling center be placed in a residential neighborhood. The city has turned its back on improving the traffic conditions at the intersection of this proposed commercial building (Balfour and Brentwood Boulevard). Goodwill boasts this will be their largest facility in Northern California, and no one has provided any viable traffic solutions.

The proposed project will be open 12 hours a day, seven days a week. The recycling center is zoned industrial, but can be constructed in a commercial zone, since it’s attached to a commercial store. The training facility is an afterthought.

Brentwood offers several training centers already – Liberty Adult Education, Los Medanos and St. Vincent De Paul just to name a few. We are not opposed to Goodwill, we are opposed to where they want to build it.

And the reality, Goodwill is not a good neighbor.

They avoid safety issues, (read about Abraham Garza and Dave Goudie), fire employees when employees try doing the right thing. They discriminate against their own disabled employees. This is publicly recorded.

If Brentwood is trying to attract upscale jobs with high pay to its residents, why would they think Goodwill meets that criteria? Who wants recycling trucks coming into their neighborhood 12 hours a day, seven days a week? If you do, then tell the city you want the Goodwill built on your street.

Heritage team moves on in NCS playoffs

by Nate Smith Staff Writer

There was a glimmer of hope early in Tuesday’s North Coast Section Division I playoff baseball game for visiting Liberty, after the Lions jumped out to an early lead over crosstown rival Heritage.

But the hosting Patriots wasted no time erasing that hope, scoring four runs in the bottom of the second and then putting the game away early to cruise to a 12-2 mercy-rule shortened victory.

Mason Padilla’s ground out in the top of the second with the bases loaded scored Riley Bosler to give Liberty a 1-0 lead, but Bryson Kinnick escaped further damage by inducing another ground ball out by Cameron Brossard to end the inning.

“I knew that if I continued to keep the ball down, like in my previous two starts against them, they wouldn’t be able to hit it very well, and if they did, my defense would be there to make plays,” Kinnick said. “It also felt amazing to get early run support, and the offense just had a great game today as well.”

Heritage gave Kinnick all the run support he would need in the bottom of the second inning, scoring four times to take a commanding lead.

Keith Jones led off with a single, and Jeff Heinrich was hit by a pitch. Steve Kerr then laid down a sacrifice bunt attempt back toward the mound, but Liberty pitcher Brayden Spears’ throw to first resulted in an error, which allowed Jones to score, and the Patriots wound up with runners on second and third with no outs.

Spears recovered to strike out Bryce Arana, but se-

nior Aidan Quinn came through with a full count, singling through to right field, scoring both Heinrich and Kerr. Quinn advanced on Ryan Jackson’s ground out for the second out of the inning, and Chaz Myers punctuated the big inning with his double to score Quinn and make the score 4-1 after two innings.

Kinnick followed up the big offensive inning by retiring the Lions in order in the top of the third, and Heritage loaded the bases right away to start the bottom half. Spears limited

the damage, however, getting a double play ball and a strikeout to end the inning with only one run scored, and the Lions regained that glimmer of hope in the top of the fourth when Padilla doubled with two outs to score Nick Poss and cut the lead to 5-2.

The Patriots responded in the bottom half, however, when Oscar Murray drilled a ball into right-center with runsee NCS page 22A

BVAL athletes keep track season going

by Michael Dixon Correspondent

The Tri Valley track and field meet took place over the weekend.

Athletes from across the Bay Valley Athletic League competed for the right to extend their seasons in Berkeley at the North Coast Section (NCS) Meet of Champions.

Every school in the league will have at least one representative. In fact, four of the schools – Pittsburg, Heritage, Liberty and Antioch – will have multiple representatives.

No Bay Valley Athletic League team will send more athletes to the Meet of Champions than Pittsburg, which won the boys’ team event at the Tri Valley Meet and finished third in the girls’ event.

While the Pirates have talent in several different events, the sprints are certainly their strengths. Sophomore Trinity Bolden and freshman Ariane Nelson will represent the Pirates in the 100- and 200-meter dashes and will also be a part of the 4x100 relay. Junior Willie Harts III and seniors A’Jae Boyd and Titin Davis Jr. are in the individual 100-meter dash and will be integral parts of the 4x100 relay team, which heads to the Meet of Champions as the top seed.

Williams won the event. participate in the boys’ 300-meter hurdles, as well as the high jump, long jump and triple jump. Davis will also be pulling quadruple duty. In addition to spots in the 100-meter dash and 4x100 relay, he’ll also compete in the 200-meter race and will join

Pierce in the boys’ long jump.

Junior Gabriella Serrianni and senior John Maka will be busy for the Pirates as well.

Serrianni will be in the girls’ shot put and discus events, while Maka will be in

the same boys’ events. Senior Chris Nelson will join Maka in the boys’ shot put, while sophomore Jonzi Smith will be in the boys’ 110-meter hurdles.

In the unified events, Juniors Yesina Flores and Brianna Chacon are both pulling double duty in the girls’ 100-meter dash and the long jump.

In the boys’ unified events, seniors Alec Molnar, Ivan Rizzo, Garrett Parker and freshman Zaetrohn Coleman all qualified in the 100-meter and long jumps.

Aside from Pittsburg, no league team will be better represented in Berkeley than Heritage.

Senior Xavier Williams will compete individually in both the boys’ 110- and 300-meter hurdles and could be a part of the 4x100 relay.

Senior Timothy Ositu could be in that relay as well and will be in the boys’ 200-meter dash. Senior Gavin Palmer will be in the boys’ pole vault, while Jett Charvet and Marcus Dawal are both in the 800 meters.

On the girls’ side, Heritage will be represented in three events. The individuals are juniors Kidest Befikadu (high jump) and Ingrid Neukirchen (200-meter dash). Neukirchen could also compete in the 4x100 relay.

ners on the corners, scoring Quinn for a 6-2 lead after four innings.

“I just really worked on keeping my hands inside right there – not do too much – and was able to go the other way with the pitch,” Murray said. “The momentum did a lot for us today, and we were loud in the dugout, which did a lot for us at the plate.”

After Kinnick allowed just one baserunner in the top of the fifth, keeping his pitch count to just 68 pitches, Heritage ended the game early by scoring six times in the bottom of the fifth.

Quinn’s sacrifice fly scored Kerr, and the Patriots then went on an extended two-out rally, capped by consecutive run-scoring singles from Stephen Murphy and Jared Cruce

Pro baseball season set to reopen in Pittsburg

by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer

The Pittsburg Diamonds baseball team, East County’s only professional sports franchise, is gearing up to begin its sixth season in late May. The squad, a member of the six-team independent Pacific Association of Professional Baseball Clubs – along with the San Rafael Pacifics, Sonoma Stompers, Vallejo Admirals, Napa Silverados and Martinez Clippers – will open its home schedule June 2 at Winter Chevrolet Stadium on Civic Avenue in Pittsburg.

The majority of the league’s players – former out-of-town prospects who were either college stars or have played minorleague baseball – are trying to work their way back to higher levels of professional baseball.

“The games are like Major League Baseball (MLB) games on a smaller scale,” said Diamonds owner Khurram Shah. “If you watch the level of play, you’ll say ‘I saw this at the A’s ballpark, at the Giants ballpark.’”

The Diamonds are slated to play 80 games in 91 days with 40 games played at the Pittsburg stadium.

Much like an MLB organization, club officials are hopeful that the product on the field, the game day experience and some special promotions keep the stadium full.

Individual game tickets cost $7 and double as coupons for many of the team’s sponsors.

On game days, Winter Chevrolet Stadium will come alive with many reasonably priced ballpark favorites, such as hot dogs, nachos, sunflower seeds, beer, soda and wine, Shah said.

“You are probably out the door with 20 dollars spent,” said Shah, noting that a hot dog meal deal will cost $7.

The team is also filling out its promotional schedule that is expected to include Armed Forces Day on the Fourth of July, ethnic heritage nights and days dedicated to raising funds for food banks and the Pittsburg Rotacare Clinic.

The team is also hoping to host youth camps and offer youngsters the opportunity to serve as batboys, Shah said.

“It’s our responsibly to build community interest, and we are going to continue to work on that,” he said.

As Shah finalizes details away from the field, the team’s coaching staff is building up the squad.

The team has yet to finalize its roster, but it expects to feature players from around the U.S. and the world, Shah said.

Some players are recruited by Diamonds Manager Aaron Miles, a former MLB player, after being released by minor league squads, while others are former college stars hoping to continue their baseball

Pittsburg Diamonds draftees Nicholas Barnese, Marc-Richard Culmer, Jerome Hill II, Danny Moskovits and Alex Leach pose with Diamonds coaches during the league draft. The full Diamonds squad is set to open its home schedule June 2.

“I have been playing baseball my whole life, and I don’t want to give it up yet,” he said. “I love the game. I had an opportunity to come out here and keep playing. I figured there is no reason not to give it a shot.”

Fellow player Muhammad Mohsin Jamil agreed. He traveled from Pakistan for a shot to play professional baseball.

“I want to better myself and am feeling very good here,” he said.

The Diamonds are still seeking host families to house Diamonds players. Those families receive free tickets, stadium food and merchandise.

For more information on hosting a player, email Shah at shah@diamondsproball.com.

careers or players looking for another shot to vault them to the next level.

The majority of the players don’t work outside baseball and are paid only hundreds of dollars a month and live with host families.

For some, the sacrifices pay off.

Vinny Guglietti, a Diamonds infielder from a year ago, now plays in the Canadian American Association of Professional Baseball, and former Diamonds infielder/ outfielder Jordan Hinshaw is playing in the American Association.

It’s unknown what future stars will be discovered this season, but many hopefuls are ready to embrace the journey.

Ryder Miconi, a former College of William & Mary infielder, said he’s just going to play as hard as he can with the Pittsburg squad and see where the experience takes him.

The 10 Impact Soccer Club players recently played in the final home game of their Impact careers.

Impact says goodbye to graduating players A number of Impact Soccer Club players finished their home appearances in the NorCal National Premier League 3 (NPL3) season.

A total of 10 players from the team will graduate in the coming weeks and moving on to future endeavors. The match ended in a 1-0 victory for Impact.

This year’s senior Impact class, comprised of Deer Valley, Liberty and Freedom high school players, is made up of Zach Johnson, Ryan Eng, Jayson Phoebus, Leo Cabrera, Rudy Saucedo, Armando Fajardo, Isaiah Moreira, Andrew Thomason, Diego Ruiz Orta and Jorge Rondan.

Impact will open the doors to fill the places of the departing seniors and is expected to also field an additional team in the age group for the 2018 to 2019 season. Tryouts are scheduled for May 29 and June 2. For more information or to register, visit https://impactsoccer.sportsengine-prelive.com.

In other Impact news, the 02 girls’ Black team fell to the AC United 2-1 in the Silver Cup semifinals.

“Although we didn’t make it to the finals, their hard work as a team truly showed as it was the second consecutive year the 02 girls’ Black team made it to the semifinals in NorCal Silver Cup competition,” the club said in a statement.

of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The requirements of California Civil Code Section 2923.5(b)/2923.55(c) were fulfilled when the Notice of Default was recorded. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-7302727 or visit this Internet Web site www. ndscorp.com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case 17-20351-SPCA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

said Fire Chief Brian Helmick. “We are East Contra Costa Fire Protection District – we are an independent special district. We are not Contra Costa County Fire.”

The new design, voted on by district personnel, will appear on all engines, vehicles, uniform patches, business cards, letterhead and ID cards.

The final cost of the switch will be determined once key details of the apparatus decals are delivered to the district’s vendor.

Regardless of the final price tag, the swap will allow the district to rebrand itself without paying at least $200,000 to change the organization’s name, Helmick said.

The fire board decided against the name change last year – in large part due to the cost – but talk of altering the name and logo resonated with the firefighters,

The East Contra Costa Fire Protection District plans to roll out their new logo June 1.

Battalion Chief Ross Macumber said.

“As the years have gone by, our membership have expressed the desire to update the logo to make it a little cleaner, a little nicer,” he said. “When the name

change got brought to the forefront, that spurred the discussion a little bit at the line. They brought it to the admin, and the admin did agree that it was time to change our logo.”

The new design will appear in varying forms on letterhead and attire, including a gray version for Class A uniforms worn to formal events.

“A recent trend in the fire service is to go to a muted, Class A uniform patch to make it look a little more chrome, a little classier, to not stand out as much considering sometimes we have to wear our Class A to a somber event,” Macumber said.

The final look was approved by the board, but the entire organization was involved in finalizing the design.

The district formed an internal staff committee to seek out designs, and the final version was approved via votes from firefighters.

“Having a patch in the fire service is an important thing,” Helmick said.

“Being able to have something that you can call your own, something you buy into, something you represent.”

District board members who represented the final hurdle to the change said they fully support the adjustment.

“It’s our hope that this will have sort of a rebranding effect, which is a lot cheaper than a name change,” said board member Stephen Smith.

Fellow board member Susanna Thompson agreed.

“I think what was asked for is extremely reasonable, and a tremendous amount of effort was put into it, so I fully support it,” she said.

Macumber said the district is planning to formally roll out the logo June 1.

“Fostering an animal is by far one of the most rewarding things you can experience,” said Pittsburg resident Jessica Shortridge, H.A.L.O. board member and

volunteer coordinator.

Shortridge has fostered sick, abandoned and malnutritioned kittens.

“You get to watch that kitten blossom from a helpless little animal to a confident, playful companion and send them off to their forever home,” said Shortridge.

Pet sitting a true passion AMY SCHRADER

F

or pet owners, planning a vacation includes deciding who will take care of your furry

family member.

Passionate About Pets is an East County pet-sitting company that takes care of pets in your home, so you can take vacations without having to worry about them. The business caters to pets and their owners, providing the perfect combination of quality care and love. Additional services, such as walking your pets, getting mail and newspapers, watering plants and taking out garbage are also included.

“In my experience, most pets feel anxiety and stress going to a boarding facility,” said Brentwood resident Martha Viola, president of Passionate about Pets.

“There are a few places that are welcome sights to our four-legged babies, but home is always the best and most comfortable.”

While Viola is quick to point out there is no substitution for the pet’s owner, she works hard to customize her services for both. Pet owners have the option of choosing pet visits or an overnight stay. Pet visits provide potty breaks, playtime and feedings.

Viola started the pet-sitting business

because she loves animals. Working at an animal hospital as a veterinary assistant for several years gave her firsthand experience caring for them.

“My favorite part of the job was interacting with pets and learning as much as I could about the health and well-being of each,” she said.

When it came to starting her own business, Viola wanted to combine her love for animals with her compassion and respect for their owners.

“I wanted to create a business that accommodates pets and people,” said Viola. “I like to try to make a bond with animals, so they are relaxed and understand I will take as good of care of them as their owner.”

Since starting her business earlier this year, Viola has taken care of cats, dogs, cattle, horses, miniature donkeys, fish, a ferret, a snake and a Starling bird she taught to say “I love you.”

Brentwood resident Deborah Majewski had Viola take care of her dogs CJ and Nala as well as their litter of 10 puppies.

“Martha does an amazing job, and my pets love her as much as they love me,” said Majewski. “She customizes her

Points to consider before buying a horse

C

hildren often dream of

Horses are magnificent animals that can bring joy and companionship, but those interested in owning a horse must recognize such ownership is a significant responsibility, unlike more traditional pet ownership.

waking up one morning to find a horse or pony in their

yard, and some people are able to make this dream a reality.

Whether raising a horse for pleasure or profession, it is important to know caring for horses can be labor intensive. The reward for properly taking care of a horse is a healthy and well-trained animal, but horse ownership is a significant and expensive responsibility. It is important prospective owners understand what they are getting into before they make any final decisions.

Breed The first to consider when mulling horse ownership is the breed. If you are unfamiliar with horses, it is best to research different breeds online and visit horse breeders and owners. Perhaps workers at a stable or farm nearby can guide your choice. There also are forums devoted to horses and care. Some recommended breeds for first-time owners include quarter horses, paints and Morgans.

However, all horses are individuals and may have their own unique personality traits.

Acreage and housing Horses are large animals and will need room to exercise and roam. They require a corral or pasture to stretch their legs, so a

potential horse owner will need a relatively large property to give a horse the space it needs. In addition to the corral, the horse will require a shelter from the elements. A shed or stable should be at least 10 to 12 feet in both width and length. The height of the stable should be a minimum of 8 feet. This stable will provide shelter in both the cold and heat.

When establishing a pasture, be sure the fence is tall enough that the horse cannot easily jump it. The fence should also be clearly visible, so the animal does not mistakenly try to go through it, risking entanglement or injury.

Feeding The average saddle horse weighs roughly 1,000 pounds or more. The animal can eat anywhere from 17 to 26 pounds of feed per

day. Feed is a combination of grain, hay and pasture, but salt also should be made available to the horse. If the weather prevents grazing, supplemental hay will be needed. Keep in mind hay bails can weigh up to 85 pounds.

They also will take up considerable space. This is something to be factored into the space requirement for a horse. Feed and water troughs can be purchased at livestock supply stores or repurposed from buckets and barrels.

Horses need plenty of fresh water to drink, and the water trough should be checked and cleaned regularly to maintain a sanitary environment.

Tack and saddles Depending on how you use the horse, you will need saddles, reins, bits, stirrups,

cinches, spurs, ropes and collars. Saddlebags and cushions may be needed if you will be on the horse for long periods of time. If a horse tack retailer is not nearby, many items can be ordered online and shipped to your home.

In addition, pitchforks, shovels, brushes and grooming supplies will be needed to keep the stable and horse clean and comfortable.

Manure A large animal that eats several pounds of food per day will produce a lot of waste. It’s key to have a plan in place to manage manure.

You may want to convert manure into organic fertilizer. Check to see if there is a way to dispose of manure in your area or donate it to be used for gardening or vegetable cooperatives. Some people will purchase manure to use in their private landscapes.

Establish a strategy for manure usage or disposal before buying a horse, as manure can accumulate rapidly and attract flies and other insects.

Veterinary care Research and develop a relationship with a veterinarian prior to purchasing a horse. Horses require routine vaccinations and examinations, and deworming is necessary to control internal parasites. Hooves will need to be trimmed regularly, so it behooves owners to establish a relationship with a qualified farrier.

The vet may recommend farriers in your area.

Best practices for traveling with pets

M

any pet owners now take their companion animals along with them when

they visit family, travel for business or go on vacation.

BR O

Many hotels have pet-friendly rooms on lower floors near walking areas. Even many restaurants – where pet hair and food may seem like an unlikely combination – are open to allowing travelers dine with their pets. Animals may be allowed to sit in patio dining areas, and some restaurants even allow pets indoors.

Those who choose to travel with pets can heed some precautionary tips and plan ahead. ♦♦ The American Kennel Club recommends a veterinary visit prior to taking pets on extended trips. Make sure all vaccinations are current and ask for a copy of health certificates and records. ♦♦ Invest in a carrier or crate large enough for your pet. The crate should be large enough for the pet to stand, turn around and lie down. A crate or carrier can keep pets secure in the car and may be recommended in pet-friendly hotels. ♦♦ Airlines may allow small pets to ride in the cabin in a carrier under your seat.

Larger pets will have to ride in the cargo hold. Try to book a direct flight, so that the pet will only have to board and disembark the plane once. Notify airline personnel when you are traveling with a pet. Provide food and water for a long flight. ♦♦ Confirm the rules at hotels concerning pet stays. Recognize that you may have to pay fees when bringing pets into a hotel.

Bring along your pet’s food and water, as unfamiliar foods or water from unfamiliar dishes may cause stomach problems. Try to keep your pet quiet and be considerate of others who may not be animal lovers. ♦♦ Keep identification on your pet, including your mobile phone number, should the pet get lost. ♦♦ International travel may require a different set of procedures depending on where you are traveling. Some countries do not allow pets to visit, while others may require pets to be quarantined for a predetermined period of time before they’re allowed to travel within the country. You also may be able to apply for a pet passport to make international travel go smoothly.

Traveling with pets can be enjoyable, and more and more pet owners are bringing their companion animals along for the ride.

Tips for socializing your pet

W

elcoming a new pet into a household involves introducing the animal

to your lifestyle and helping it grow accustomed to your schedule.

This process also involves acquainting the pet with the people who visit your home on a regular basis. One of the most important skills pets can learn is to be disciplined around strangers. Prospective visitors to your home will not necessarily share your enthusiasm for animals, so wellbehaved pets can make such visits much more enjoyable for everyone.

Pets who are not socialized may be more anxious, timid or prone to lashing out with aggressive behavior. Socialization of both cats and dogs – or any pet that is allowed to roam freely in your home – is recommended. Here are some guidelines for success.

Cats

Socialized cats are more likely to be trusting, affectionate, well-behaved and calm. According to Catster, an online resource for cat owners, the socialization process will be influenced by the cat’s disposition and when the animal was received.

Begin by handling the cat in short sessions of around 10 to 15 minutes per day. The more you handle the cat, the more at ease the animal will become around people. The cat will slowly realize it can feel comfortable and secure in the company of humans.

Once the cat is acclimated to general petting, begin to touch other areas of its body, including its ears, feet and mouth.

Give a treat when he or she behaves well.

When you feel secure that the cat is receptive to your touch, begin to have other people stroke or hold the cat.

The ASPCA notes cats like to observe behaviors and then invite themselves to participate at their own pace. A cage or cattery can provide cats with unobstructed, comfortable and secure views to observe their homes. Perform calm activities in front

of the cage, so the cat can watch. Keep treats nearby, so if your pet engages socially, you can reward it for positive behavior.

Dogs

Many people view dogs as more social animals than cats, but that’s not always the case. Puppies that do not receive adequate opportunities for early socialization with humans or other animals may be fearful of strangers and other animals and prefer to hide instead of coming out and greeting new people and other animals.

According to canine behavioral expert Cesar Millan, the best window of time to socialize a dog is before it reaches 12 weeks of age. Afterward, the dog is less likely to accept anything new or unfamiliar.

Dog walking is one of the best ways to socialize new puppies but only after the dog has received its required immunizations.

During walks, the dog will be introduced to plenty of new sounds and people who will be excited to come up and say hello. This activity also works with older dogs. However, if your older dog exhibits aggressive behavior, try a muzzle to staunch barking and nipping and a secure lead to help others feel comfortable.

Puppies need to have socialization reinforced into adulthood. In her book, “The Other End of the Leash,” applied animal behaviorist Dr. Patricia McConnell mentions dogs may go through a period in adolescence when they become more cautious and perhaps aggressive toward people and animals who are unfamiliar to them. Continued exposure to new experiences can help, as can recognizing and addressing any situations that make your dog weary.

The Humane Society of the U.S. says dogs should learn to act politely and quietly when encountering other dogs. Many adult dogs do not enjoy socializing with multiple dogs at once, and dogs should not be forced to meet every new dog they come across during walks. Social time with other dogs can come by way of walks and gentle introductions to another dog with loose leashes, but only if both pets feel comfortable.
