Family files suit against countyThe parents of murdered 9-year-old

Discovery Bay resident Jordon Almgren, have filed a lawsuit against Contra Costa County, alleging that the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff failed to remove the knife from the suspected killer during a visit to his home a day before it was used to commit the crime.

A friend of the Almgren family, 19-year-old William Shultz, is said to have stabbed Jordon on an April morning in 2015, after spending the night at the family’s home the night before. He fled the scene, but showed up hours later at the Antioch Kaiser Medical Center to seek treatment for injuries thought to have been sustained while committing the crime. An alert on-duty nurse recognized him through social media postings and called the sheriff’s department, which took him into custody without incident. He is presently awaiting trial.

The lawsuit, which seeks an unspecified

amount, claims that the Contra Costa Of-fice of the Sheriff discovered a large Bears Grylls hunting knife in Shultz’s knapsack the day before the alleged attack, but did not re-move it despite being called to the home by Shultz’s mother on reports that he was act-ing violently. He would later be voluntarily transported to the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center for a mental health review.

County Counsel Sharon Anderson was unavailable for comment and other members of her office did not return requests for com-ment.

“The deputies did not remove, secure or impound the hunting knife, nor did they turn it over to Katherine (Shultz’s mother) with instructions that she secure it from Wil-liam,” said Attorney Michael Verna in court documents.

Shultz was released from the facility af-ter a few hours and returned home, but re-treated to the Almgren home later that night after getting into another argument with

Aquatic weeds still plaguing residents

Discovery Bay residents are no strangers to the hassles creat-ed by invasive aquatic weed spe-cies, and just when it seems one weed is under control, another drifts into town.

This year, two new species have floated into the bays of this boating community and are caus-ing a whole new set of problems.

“A lot of people think the aquatic weed problem is under control,” said Roger di Fate, who has lived on the water for 20 years. “It’s not. Two years ago, the Department of Boating and Waterways (DBW) came up with a solution for the water hyacinth, but now, two other floating weeds have emerged here, even more complicated than the hyacinth.”

Di Fate spends several days each week on the water, and he

has seen firsthand how the aquatic weeds are wreaking havoc with docks and waterways. Unlike the water hyacinth and egeria densa, which are controlled by the DBW with an herbicide spray, the new sponge and Melrose vines have tak-en root in the rocks lining the Delta and are immune to the sprays.

“The Melrose and sponge plants are growing and will con-tinue to grow out (until) they are killed,” di Fate said. “(Until the DBW) recognizes the Melrose and sponge plants as a problem, nothing will happen. They didn’t think Discovery Bay was going to be effected as fast as it was, so they have no plan to fix this.” Gloria Sandoval, Deputy Direc-tor for Public Affairs of Califor-nia State Parks said a solution is being worked on.

“The (DBW) is aware of the problems with the vines,” Sando-val said. “We work with scientists

all over the country and all over the world, and we are always looking at ways to control and eradicate invasive weed species.”

Sandoval added that the

DBW runs control programs, not eradication programs, and that the Melrose and sponge vines

Brentwood to explore fire-funding fixUnfavorable polling results regarding

a possible tax for the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District (ECCFPD) has lit a fire under Brentwood Mayor Bob Taylor.

During the city council meeting this week, Taylor directed City Manager Gus Vina to explore ways to bring three addi-tional fire stations into the city for a total of four - the recommended number listed in the district’s master plan released last month.

Brentwood receives 50 percent of the district’s calls and has $8 billion worth of property to protect in the city.

“It’s time for Brentwood to take a stand,” Taylor said. “The lack of resourc-es and inadequate fire and medical service for Brentwood is totally unacceptable.”

Taylor’s request came less than a week after polling results revealed using a utility-users tax (UUT) to generate funds for fire protection and medical response services would not likely pass if put on the November ballot.

The ECCFPD, which was comprised of eight stations in 2008, is down to three stations that serve 105,000 residents span-ning 249 square miles. A fourth station is slated to open in Knightsen this month, but will close in June of 2017 if additional funding is not found. The district’s at-tempts to bring in more revenue - a parcel

tax in 2012 and a proposed benefit assess-ment last year - both failed.

“This issue is too critical to give it up,” Taylor said.

In the poll of 894 East County resi-dents, 41 percent of Brentwood residents, 39 percent of Oakley residents and 47 percent of residents in unincorporated ar-eas approved of a UUT, well short of the 50 percent threshold needed for pas-sage in the three areas.

The UUT would have been based on district resi-dents’ Pacific Gas & Electric Co. electricity services, land-line and cellular phone bills and cable usage.

The pro-posal called for Brentwood and Oakley city councils and Contra Costa County Board of Su-pervisors to each propose separate UUTs to their residents, with the goal of collecting up to $15.6 million to open three more stations in Brentwood, two more in Oakley and one more in the un-incorporated area of the district, which is the recommended number listed on the district’s master plan.

However, Taylor pointed out that the survey also revealed that 71 percent of Brentwood residents had a positive view of the city government, which gives him hope for the future.

“We have to build upon that and make fire and medical response a top pri-ority in this city,” Taylor said.

Vina, a member of an independent multi-jurisdictional task force that

proposed the mea-sure, said that he’s

open to con-tinue work-

ing towards a district-wide so-lution, but will now shift his focus towards bringing back a plan tailored for Brentwood

to present at the council meeting

on July 26.“If (the

Brentwood City Council) wants to move

forward with a November UUT, then we would have all the information to do that,” he said.

It’s unknown if the City of Oakley or Contra Costa Board of Supervisors might follow Brentwood in proposing their own revenue measures. Tomi Riley, chief of staff for Supervisor Mary  Piepho, said

the situation is evolving.“Mary is willing to take it to the board

for discussion, but based on the survey re-sults, it did not look like the citizens of District 3 were supportive of it,” she said.

Oakley City Councilman Doug Hardcastle said any resolution must in-volve a group effort.

“We are all neighbors out here, and we have to try to work together to get the issue resolved,” he said.

Other polling results included an 86 percent approval rating of local fire fire-fighters and a 69 percent approval rating of the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District. About 63 percent of respondents believe that the fire district is in great need of additional funding. About 65 percent of Oakley voters said that they approved of the job being done by their city govern-ment, while 59 percent of unincorporated voters said the same about the county government.

Republican women tip their hats for TrumpThey are known as the Ladies in Hats for Trump,

and they have been photographed and interviewed by newspapers around the globe, including Hong Kong, Switzerland and Spain.

They are instantly recognizable, wearing custom-made, blinged-out cowboy hats, accessories and T-shirts to Trump rallies and events, garnering attention from Trump himself and earning VIP treatment at events. Be-hind the glitz is a group of women, part of East Contra Costa Republican Women Federated (ECCRWF), who are on a mission to support Republican presidential can-didate Donald Trump.

“We are trying to do everything we can to help Trump,” said Discovery Bay resident and ECCRWF member Cheryl McDonald. “He is what this country needs.”

The ECCRWF is a political group founded in 1987, affiliated with the National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW), the largest all-women political or-ganization in the world. The group provides an avenue for political involvement, including supporting Donald Trump’s campaign for presidency.

While some people put political signs in their yards to support their favorite candidate, these women have taken some drastic actions, from showing up to rallies and waiting in line more than 20 hours in ad-vance, to designing hats and clothes to wear to ral-lies. When McDonald and four other ECCRWF mem-bers, aged 48 to 84, arrived in Fresno on May 26 for a Trump rally, they arrived 21 hours early and stood outside Selland Arena wearing their famous hats. By 6 a.m., word of the ladies with hats reached Trump’s campaign group, who brought the ladies coffee and

donuts, brought them into the building to tour the rally area, and invited them to sit on the stage, directly behind Trump, where they’d be seen by television cam-eras during his speech.

“It was so exciting,” said McDonald. “He filled the stadium that night, and to be on the stage with him was a moment I’ll never forget.”

According to McDonald, at another rally, Trump recognized the group of women, greeted them as the ‘la-dies with hats,’ complimented and signed their hats and told McDonald she should go into business. When they show up to rallies, they not only grab Trump’s attention, but also the attention of news reporters from around the world.

“Wearing the hat speaks volumes,” said Knightsen resident and ECCRWF President Liz Ritchie. “We are the boots on the ground for campaigns, and wearing the hat has become a well known symbol for the Trump cam-paign.”

The ladies plan on continuing to show their support for Trump by reaching out to supporters in the commu-nity and encouraging them to vote, as well as sharing Trump’s message with the community.

Judge declares Delta Plan invalid

Aspirations to regulate and overhaul the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and give the thumbs up to Gov. Jerry Brown’s twin tunnel plan have been handed another blow by a superior court judge.

The ruling by Judge Michael Kenny in Sacramento builds on momentum from a previous ruling issued in May. In that 73-page ruling, Kenny had upheld most of the proposal and the authority of the Delta Plan’s designers, the Delta Stewardship Council, to write it after a slew of lawsuits by environmentalists mounted a challenge – but demanded a partial redrafting to fo-cus more on environmental restoration and on quantified measures to reduce state reli-ance on Delta water transfers. That proved to be short-lived though.

Last week, the judge declared the en-tire Delta Plan invalid after examination under the California Environmental Qual-ity Act, a piece of legislation the plaintiffs hoped would be a knockout.

“To be clear, the Delta Plan is invalid and must be set aside until proper revisions are completed,” Kenny said in his decision, which drew a swift rebuttal from the Delta Stewardship Council.

Jessica R. Pearson, the council’s chief executive officer, said that they would most likely be filing an appeal to save the docu-ment, which she touted as being based on

the best available science. “The Delta remains in crisis, and now

isn’t the time to set aside the state’s only comprehensive management plan for (it),” she said, expressing dismay that even un-contested components of the plan focusing only on habitat restoration will have to be

halted now that the plan in its entirety has to be scrapped and rewritten.

Environmentalists see this as good news in the long run, because the Delta Plan lent support to California WaterFix, a separate but parallel project being pushed by the governor, an alliance of water con-

tractors and the U.S. Bureau of Reclama-tion. It calls for installing two 40-foot wide, 35-mile long concrete tunnels beneath the Delta in a massive water transfer being billed as a cure to California’s water woes. But without a valid Delta Plan that balanc-es preserving habits with water transfers, the architects could run into some trouble in their efforts to get the water flowing down south.

“It’s not completely clear how all of this is going to play out, but one way or an-other, it’s going to have an effect on the tun-nels,” said Michael Brodsky, an attorney with the Save the California Delta Alliance, one of several groups that formed a coali-tion and joined in on the recent lawsuits.

According to Brodsky, one likely sce-nario is that the State Water Resources Control Board, which is organizing hear-ings to determine the legality of WaterFix, could be swayed to pull the plug on it alto-gether without a valid Delta Plan in sight.

“It should give them a reason to look more closely at whether or not the tunnels meet the goals of the Delta Reform Act … and will probably make their job more diffi-cult in deciding what to do with this thing,” he added.

Tunnel proponents say they are un-fazed by the ruling and have been quick to remind observers that they were not the ones in Kenny’s crosshairs.

A superior court judge this week declared the controversial Delta Plan invalid after examination under the California Environmental Quality Act.

CORRECTION AND PACE LOANSThis is two articles in one.First is a correction for a recent article

I wrote about homeowner’s associations. In my article, I incorrectly stated that when you see the HOA board go into executive session, where no minutes are kept, they may be contemplating litigation. I was politely corrected by a local board member that they go into executive session in order to discuss discipline against homeowners for violating rules, and they don’t want the names in the public minutes, but they DON’T discuss potential litigation there.

Secondly, I wanted to let you know about some issues with PACE/HERO loans.

These are relatively new loans, where you can get some energy-efficient home improvements done, like improved HVAC and solar. You may be getting solicitations in the mail or by phone about them, and the salesperson may tell you how this is an easy way to get home improvements done with almost no qualifying needed (you do have to have equity) and stretch the pay-

ments out over many years.What’s different about these loans is

they are repaid through your tax bill. This means that when you sell the home, it stays on the home for the next buyer to deal with. This creates a couple of issues.

The buyer may not WANT to pay for this and therefore may not want to buy your home or ask you to pay the loan off. In addition, their lender may not even agree to loan on the property, because the PACE/HERO loan is part of your tax bill, which makes it the primary lien on your property. Some people are having issues even refinancing their regular mortgages because of these liens. So be sure to check into it fully before you sign up for one of these loans.

“Work on California WaterFix con-tinues,” said Nancy Vogel, a spokeswom-an for the project. “The Delta Plan is not California WaterFix, and WaterFix is not the subject of (last week’s) tentative court decision.”

While Brodsky acknowledged the clear distinction between the two undertak-ings, he noted again that water contractors shelling out money for WaterFix will be left scratching their heads over how much wa-ter they can take without a state-sanctioned plan to use as a guide – a logistical mess he hopes will encourage the Delta Stewardship Council to distance itself from the tunnels.

“We hope (the council) will strength-en the Delta Plan in accordance with the court’s ruling as quickly as possible and will work with them at every opportunity to produce a Delta Plan that is better and stronger,” he said.

The American Red Cross urges eligi-ble donors to give blood in the weeks sur-rounding Independence Day to help en-sure a sufficient blood supply for patients now and throughout the summer.

Blood donations often decline in the summer months, especially around sum-mer holidays when donors are less avail-able to give. The need for blood doesn’t decrease though – every two seconds, someone in the U.S. requires blood or platelets. In fact, a recent survey of Red Cross blood and platelet donors showed that nearly half knew someone who need-ed blood or they needed blood themselves.

To encourage more people to donate around Independence Day, all those who come out to donate blood will receive a limited-edition Red Cross lunch cooler, while supplies last, from July 1 through 5. Upcom-ing blood donation opportunities include July 14, from noon to 6 p.m., at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Brentwood, 2350 Jeffery Way, in Brentwood.

Donors of all blood types are needed now. Schedule an appointment to give blood by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcross-blood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Liberty grad’s short film standing tallWhen Kimberly Mucha was a student

at Liberty High School in Brentwood, she was a doodler who loved to draw and took every art class available.

Since then, the artist has graduated from San Jose State University with a bachelor’s degree in character anima-tion and was the co-producer of a short animated film titled, “The Blue & The Beyond,” which has garnered attention around the globe, winning international awards.

“I’m so proud of my crew and the success that we have achieved through our persistence, hard work and passion for animation,” said Mucha.

Mucha’s doodling transformed from a hobby into a professional pursuit when she was a junior at and started taking the-ater classes.

“Working in that kind of environ-ment really opened my eyes to a different community of artists being actors and vice versa,” said Mucha.

In high school, Mucha was known for her hard work and animated person-ality.

“She worked hard, both on stage and backstage, and cared a great deal about making the program the best it could be,” said Liberty High School Playmakers’ Director Helen Dixon. “She also had a great sense of humor and was always fun

to be around.”After graduating in 2007, her pas-

sion for art and theater grew into film animation. In between and after classes, Mucha and her friends created their film, featuring a character named Charlie who doesn’t fit in with the rest of the world. By being himself, Charlie was able to find someone else like him - a young woman named Penelope. Mucha co-produced the film and served as the supervising anima-tor for Charlie.

The film, which has recently been re-leased to the public, was shown in coun-tries around the world, including Brazil, Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Italy, winning several top awards. It was awarded at the Boston In-dependent Film Festival; the Euregion Shorts Film Festival in the Netherlands; the Beeston Film Festival UK; the Leeds Young Film Festival in the UK; the Sioux Empire Film Festival in South Dakota and others.

Mucha brought her parents, who are still Brentwood residents, to several film festivals where her movie was being shown.

“We loved it,” said Grace Mucha, Kimberly’s mother. “We are so happy her hard work has paid off, and she’s living her dream.”

The producer and animator hasn’t ruled out making more films, but is cur-rently working as a production assistant at Industrial Light and Magic, Lucasfilm’s visual-effects and animation studio.

“The coolest thing about working at Industrial Light and Magic is knowing that this visual-effects studio has touched every one of my favorite movies,” said Mu-cha. “There’s so much history there that it’s hard not to be in awe when I’m going to work.”

Th e importance of goals and journal keeping during your divorce, pt. 2

– Advertisement

It’s a journal, not a diary.When you’re in the middle of a divorce

it can be close to impossible to remember details. Further, it’s difficult for you to know which things are important and which are not. Many times, things that seem irrelevant at first turn out to be the most important information presented in the case.

Your journal should be a factual account of events. It’s not a place to write down your private thoughts, because it can be presented as evidence during a trial. Because every piece of correspondence regarding your case should be saved, it may be helpful to keep your journal in a binder or notebook, where you can also store correspondence.Keep a phone log as well.

There will probably be a day when you call your attorney about something important and you have to leave a

message. Suddenly a new emergency crops up. You have four new questions, but you’re still waiting for your attorney to call you back.

“I’ll remember them,” you say to yourself. “They’re too important to forget.”

When she does call ... poof - the questions are gone. A phone log will help you keep track of when you called, what it was about, and what you and your attorney discussed. 24 hours can seem like a terribly long time when you want an immediate call back. Your phone log will allow you to see exactly when you called and see that your call was probably returned promptly – even if it didn’t feel like it was.

If you need assistance with a divorce, child custody, child support, spousal support or restraining orders, contact the Law Offices of Silky Sahnan at 925-276-0789. We hope these tips are helpful with an initial consultation.

Blazing hot weekend fuels area firesStruggling against windy, triple-digit temperatures and reduced

staff, firefighters in East Contra Costa battled two blazes last weekend in Antioch and Brentwood.

Around 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 25, a residential structure fire destroyed a home in the 20 block of Sycamore Avenue in Brentwood, just east of the intersection at Brentwood Boulevard.

According to the Brentwood Police Department, a female caller reported she heard an explosion and her house was on fire. It is cur-rently unknown if the explosion heard by the caller was the cause of the fire.

The Brentwood Police Department and multiple engines from East Contra Costa Fire Protection District (ECCFPD) arrived on scene to find two occupants in the house. Both were evacuated without injury. A shed behind the home was also on fire, with an unknown amount of firearm ammunition stored in the shed. Firefighters bat-tling the blaze temporarily retreated as explosions made the scene unsafe. Residents of the nearby Village Park Apartments were also evacuated as a precaution.

Weather conditions did not help firefighters working to get the blaze under control, as temperatures hovered above 100 degrees. One ECCFPD firefighter was removed from the scene on a stretcher suf-fering from heat exhaustion, and a Brentwood police officer was also treated at the scene.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation. A GoFundMe page has been set up for the homeowner at www.gofundme.com/am4e3gsw.

A brush fire burning along the north side of the Contra Costa Ca-nal turned into a five-alarm blaze on the afternoon of June 25, in the vicinity of Barmouth Drive and Burwood Way in Antioch. The fire quickly spread to a home on Burwood Way, causing major damage to the home. The fire was pushed west along the canal towards Deer Val-ley Road by strong afternoon winds, then jumped the canal and began burning brush on the south side.

Embers from the fire also ignited a fence on Stratford Way. In an effort to fight the fire, an Antioch police officer used the homeowner’s hose until firefighters from Contra Costa County Fire Protection Dis-trict showed up.

Two Antioch engines had been out of the district assisting in fighting a fire in Brentwood, prior to responding to the scene. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but was listed as accidental.

Brentwood’s fresh, healthy grocery arrives

Sprouts Farmers Market store will be opening their first location in Brentwood, and the tenth in the Bay Area region, to meet the local demand for natural and or-ganic foods at great prices, at 2325 Sand Creek Road, in Brentwood, on Wednes-day, July 6, at 7 a.m.

The business will host a ribbon-cut-ting ceremony to celebrate the opening of the 27,000-square-foot store, and the pub-lic is invited to join the festivities, tour the store and shop for their favorite healthy grocery items.

Special events and giveaways include the first 200 shoppers in line receiving 20 percent off their initial total purchase; de-licious muffin and coffee samples; every 15th shopper receiving a coupon book featuring Sprouts savings at chekcout; $1

deals throughout the store, in addition to Sprouts’ everyday great values; and every customer receiving one free, reusable bag with purchase.

As part of Sprouts’ local Food Rescue Program, all stores in the region, includ-ing the new Brentwood store, will donate unsold and edible, but not marketable, groceries to Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano. The relief agency picks up ex-cess or damaged fresh produce that would otherwise go to waste and distributes it to those in need. In 2015, Sprouts stores and distribution centers donated approxi-mately 14 million pounds of product to those in need, which is equivalent to 12 million meals. This reduces the impact of hunger as well as the company’s environ-mental footprint.

Arrest made in shooting incident

A Discovery Bay resident was arrested on charges of assault with a firearm follow-ing an argument on Monday evening, June 27, on the 4200 block of Slifer Drive in Dis-covery Bay, according to the Contra Costa County Office of the Sherriff.

Around 9:30 p.m., deputies responded to a report of a possible accidental shoot-ing. Upon arrival, deputies found a man suffering from a gunshot wound. The vic-tim was uncooperative and was later flown by helicopter to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek. His injury did not appear to be life-threatening. 

During the initial investigation, it was determined that the shooting occurred after an argument.

Deputies later arrested 41-year-old Paul Nelson, who lives at the residence. He was booked into the Martinez Detention Facility for assault with a firearm. He is be-ing held in lieu of $50,000 bail.

Anyone with any information on this in-cident is asked to call the Office of the Sheriff Investigation Division at 925-313-2600. For any tips, email tips@so.cccounty.us  or call 866-846-3592 to leave an anonymous voice message.

A man involved in a shooting incident was airlifted to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek. His injuries were believed to be non-life threatening.

Big Cat Poker Run roars into Discovery BayAn East County summer favorite, the Big Cat Poker

Run, is coming to Discovery Bay on Aug. 12 and 13.The two-day boating tour of the California Delta, from

Pittsburg to Stockton, welcomes all boaters to participate in the event, which raises thousands of dollars each year for local charities. There are 35 sponsors for the event, includ-ing the Discovery Bay Marina, Discovery Bay Lions Club, Teague Custom Marine, Colledgewood and many others

“This is the largest fundraiser for the Lions and, as both an offshore boating enthusiast and a Lion, it just makes sense to support these types of community events,”

said Glenn Hoffman, incoming president for the club. “The Lions are nonprofit clubs that are all run by volunteers and no paid staff. Not only does 100 percent of the proceeds go to charity, the Discovery Bay Lions Club has donated well over $1 million to the community since 1984.”

Any boat or personal watercraft can participate in the event, as long as it is safely capable of going to the stops.

For more information or to register and pay online, visit www.bigcatpokerrun.com. Boaters should mail their registration and proof of insurance to glenn@discovery-bayins.com, attention Glenn Hoffman.

Letters to the editorMeasure B not a credit

to communityEditor:

Instead of thanking voters for passing Measure B, the Brentwood Union School District and Dana Eaton should be apologizing to all of us for selling us a bill of goods - one that we will be paying for long after Mr. Eaton has moved on and

abandoned this area.The financial planning used to justify

was so flawed and unrealistic that Mr. Eaton had to search long and hard for any fiduciary to sign off on his plan. The one he found has a shady reputation at best. The projected growth numbers and tax projections are so badly flawed that, over the life of this mess, we property owners will end up paying a more more than projected.

Thanks a lot Dana!Bill SumnerBrentwood

Help in an emergencyEditor:

After doing our Tuesday morning volunteer shift at the Kaiser Antioch

Medical Center, my wife Pat and I often stop for lunch at In-N-Out Burger in Brentwood.

I always order a lettuce-wrapped burger to avoid the carbs, but today, the lettuce was my nemesis.

I gagged on a large piece that obstructed my airway. I felt a need to stand and leave the restaurant, hoping the outdoor air would help me. I continue to gag as my airway was closing as I leaned against our car and asked for help. It became obvious to others that I was in trouble, and good Samaritans rushed to my rescue.

First, one man called 911, and two other men performed the Heimlich maneuver on me, all the while providing calming words. The chunk of lettuce was

expelled.The two men were off-duty firefighters,

although I never got their names. The ambulance arrived, one of the firefighters briefed the EMTs on my situation, I was examined and we were on our way home in 15 minutes.

Pat was pleasantly amazed how people responded. Some came to comfort her, a restaurant employee brought out a chair and everyone joined together to see us through this brief crisis.

They say it takes a village to accomplish certain things. I met that village today. A heartfelt thanks to all of you.

Fire, emergency medical services expectations: survey says what we want … (or not)

The East Contra Costa Fire Protection District (ECCFPD) has been in dire straits – culminating in the closure of five of its eight fire stations.

The inability to provide adequate levels of public-safety services to everyone

within ECCFPD’s jurisdiction has been attributed to significant population and

business growth combined with a lack of sufficient revenues resulting from antiquated property-tax allocations set in the 1970s.

The ECCFPD Board of Directors, Brentwood, Oakley and Contra Costa County have failed to resolve this crisis. Last year, a self-appointed special Fire and Emergency Task Force, consisting of city, county and fire officials, formed to seek a funding solution.

At an April 4 ECCFPD Board meeting, Brentwood City Manager Gus Vina, special task force chair, announced that the task force and its hired consultant, Peak Democracy, Inc., had prepared an online forum and survey to educate the community and incorporate public input into their decision process. Their “Our Fire Services” website states the consultant’s mission is “to broaden civic engagement

and build public trust in government.”The online survey invites the

participant to answer questions about fire and emergency medical services expectations. Each question is followed by an ‘educational’ component, citing what the ‘experts’ say the answer should be. Then the participant has the opportunity to answer the same question again, after having been coached as to what the ‘right’ answer should have been. Of course, the participants want the ‘best,’ the ‘most’ and the ‘biggest,’ especially with no price tag attached.

Fast forward to the June 6 ECCFPD Board meeting. After several months of ‘surveying’ the public, task force leader Vina announced its recommendation to solve the funding crisis - a utility-users tax (UUT). The Task Force has decided to move forward with a plan to ask the cities of Brentwood and Oakley and Contra Costa County on behalf of the unincorporated areas of the county within ECCFPD jurisdiction, to place a measure on the ballot for a tax on utilities – including electricity, gas, telecommunications and cable.

Vina said the level of tax on the UUT ballot would be determined after ‘polling’ the public in mid-June to ascertain what the voters are willing to support. (The consultants were recommending 9 to 10 percent.) The task force will formally present the full UUT recommendation

to the board at a special meeting on June 20. This tight time frame, after years of neglect in resolving the revenue problem, is necessary to meet deadlines for the November ballot.

Wait - let’s go back to that task force survey to get the public’s input. The website is still requesting feedback, although Vina already announced the task force’s recommendation.

As of June 16, there were 1,186 visitors to the task force and Peak Democracy site and 151 responses. The survey question citing ECCFPD’s reliance on property taxes for its budget, gives the responder four choices for additional revenue.

The results to date? In response to that crucial question about how to get extra revenue, the results, in order of highest preference, were:

- Reallocation of historic property tax among all public agencies in Contra Costa County that receive property taxes. Before coaching, 61.9 percent chose this option; after coaching, 41.6 percent chose this option.

- A general tax (such as a tax placed on the sale of goods or telephone service or utilities). Before coaching, 10.9 percent chose this option; after coaching, 26.2 percent chose this option.

- A parcel tax or a special tax. Before coaching, 19.0 percent chose this option;

after coaching, 20.8 percent chose this option.

- Special benefit assessment on properties. Before coaching, 8.2 percent chose this option; after coaching, 11.4 percent chose this option.

Will someone from the task force or the ECCFPD Board please explain the disregard for the survey responses, which voiced overwhelming public support to pursue reallocation of the high property taxes we already pay? Aren’t adequate fire and emergency medical services one of the highest priorities our property taxes should be used to fund?

Despite the educating and coaching to persuade the survey participants to give preordained answers, public sentiment was compelling - no more new taxes! Pursue reallocation!

The task force sought our input and we gave it. How did reallocation turn into a UUT? And what about that goal ‘to broaden civic engagement and build public trust in government?’ Maybe we need another survey!

Contra Costa Supervisor Federal Glover has announced that he will be directing a portion of Keller Canyon Landfill mitigation funds toward tech-nologies to catch, prosecute and deter gang members who are gunning down victims on Highway 4 in Bay Point and Pittsburg.

“We’ve had nine shootings on High-way 4 in a year,” said Glover, who rep-resents Antioch, Pittsburg, Bay Point, Martinez, Hercules, Pinole and Rodeo on the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors. “These are violent gang shootings, and we can no longer allow gang members to put our residents and their families in jeopardy every time we travel Highway 4.”

The board of supervisors approved the Keller Canyon Landfill Mitigation Fund in the early 90s, when voters sup-ported the creation of the Keller Can-yon Landfill site in the hills south of Bay Point and Pittsburg. The funds are distributed each year, after a strict ap-plication and evaluation period, to pub-lic agencies and nonprofits committed to improving the quality of life in Bay

Point and Pittsburg. In 2015, the county allocated approximately $1.4 million in funds to benefit the community.

“If these funds could pay for tech-nologies that end up saving one person’s life and help law enforcement arrest and prosecute these shooters – that would make a huge difference,” said Glover. “I will also be presenting a case before the board of supervisors for additional fund-ing for Highway 242, Highway 4 through Martinez and Hercules, and I-80 in West County to address the shooting violence on our freeways,” Glover said.

A will is a document that tells the world what you want done with you and your stuff aft er your death. If you die without one, it will be up to the state, through a probate proceeding, to decide who gets your stuff without regard to your wishes or the needs of your relatives. Also, it will be much more expensive for your relatives and they will get much less of your stuff (i.e. money) aft er everything is sold because the cost of probate is expensive!!

If you are an adult without any real property, a simple will is probably all you need. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, but it should make clear your wishes for yourself and your stuff and meet the legal requirements for a will. If you are an adult with minor children, it is really important for you to have a will because that is the best way to transfer guardianship of minors.

If you have real property, you will probably need a will and a trust. A trust is a legal document that lets you decide how specifi c assets will be distributed aft er your death, lets you minimize gift /estate taxes and avoids probate costs which can be easily between 4-6% of the gross fair market value of your estate. What this means is that a house which has a fair market value of $1 million dollars can cost between $40,000-$60,000 to probate whereas if the same property was in a trust, there would be no cost to the benefi ciaries except trust administration which is signifi cantly less. A will is still necessary because most trusts only deal with specifi c property and not the total of your assets. Th e will done with a trust is usually what is called a “pour over will.” Th e pour over will, in addition to performing standard functions including naming the guardian of children, puts

all assets you designate to the trust in place even when the assets are omitted, there are new assets or the assets were not titled into the name of the trust.

Th e most common assets, which are not part of a will or trust, are life insurance policies and IRA/401k/Pension accounts, which will be transferred automatically to your named benefi ciaries upon death. Th erefore, it is VERY important that you check your benefi ciary statements on life insurance and IRA/401k/Pension accounts from time to time to make sure they are correct.

Th ere is a common belief that getting a will or trust done is very expensive. Th is is simply not true for the vast majority of people. In most circumstances, a simple will or a will & trust will be all that is necessary. Th e cost is usually between $300-$2,500 depending on the work needed. Most attorneys allow you to pay over time and will administer changes to a will or trust on an hourly basis. In addition, most attorneys will review an existing will to make sure it conforms to current law.

If you do not have a will or will/trust, you should make it a priority. I see people for a free 30 minute consultation in Walnut Creek and Brentwood to discuss what type of estate planning is needed for your particular situation. An estate plan does not need to be diffi cult or costly.

“Oliver!” production a family affairThe Brentwood Theater Company

(BTC) is gearing up for its summer pro-duction of “Oliver!” the musical play based on Charles Dickens’ novel, “Oliver Twist,” which is scheduled for weekends from July 15 to 31, at the Liberty High School Performing Arts Theater.

Full of catchy tunes and lively danc-ing, this show is sure to be a hit with East County residents. Directing the show is Brentwood resident and thespian Nancy Torres, who came out of a self-imposed, 20-year retirement to take the project on.

“This is the first time I’ve directed in 20 years,” Torres said. “It’s been amaz-ing. We have some incredible talent in the show, especially the young man playing Oliver. It’s a real, adult performance with age-appropriate actors, and we’ve had the best time with the mix of generations per-forming together.”

Torres was part of the original BTC during the 80s and 90s, before it disband-ed. The company was resurrected again in 2010, and Torres is happy to be back.

“I’ve worked with some of the wom-en in this show before, 20 years ago,” she said. “It’s great to come back to work

with them. I was so happy when they brought back the group, I just don’t feel that a community is quite complete with-out a theater program.”

This production is community the-ater at its best. Of the families partici-pating, 10 have multiple members in the production. Torres is working with her

granddaughter, and general manager Shara Main has a sister back stage and grandmother onstage.

“It’s so great,” Torres said. “This is what community theater should be; gen-erations coming together and performing together.”

In the center of all the action is 13-year-old Ethan Davis of Antioch, who was cast as Oliver. A five-year stage vet-eran, Ethan is excited to have his first lead in this BTC production.

“I just love acting as someone else,” Davis said. “It’s fun to be someone new. I like Oliver, because he tries his hardest to find love and a place to be loved. And everyone is doing a great job. The chore-ography and music are really great, too.”

The BTC has experienced strong community involvement and positive feedback since their comeback six years ago. The company has produced more than 20 shows and received multiple Shellie Awards, which recognize excel-lence in live theater.

For more information or tickets, visit www.thebrentwoodtheater.org or call 925-513-3863.

Festival celebrates region’s rich history

Bring your appetite, dance shoes and community spirit to the Harvest Time Fes-tival in Brentwood, on July 9 and 10, at City Park.

The free, two-day event celebrates Brentwood’s rich agricultural history and includes plenty of Brentwood’s famous corn and locally grown produce.

Paul Stonebarger, of G&S Farms, is re-turning this year with his corn-roasting set-up. Last year, he estimates he went through approximately 25 huge boxes of corn.

“It’s a good experience,” he said. “And it’s a good way to show the community that we’re still a big farming community. But, I also like the festival because it showcases everyone and their farms, not just corn.”

The celebration kicks off at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 9, when Renae Gonzalez, owner of Little Miss Everything, will wel-come those participating in the parade to gather in front of her business, at 220 Oak St.. The assembled parade will then begin its stroll over to the nearby City Park.

“We love how people dress up – par-

ticularly kids, said Gonzalez. “We suggest they come in costumes representing their favorite fruit or vegetable. The parade grows every year, and it’s an easy walk for anyone.”

To keep the atmosphere energetic, live music is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Performers include Toree McGee and Rodeo House, Public Eye, Long Duck Dongs and Nova and the Floor Shakers. In keeping with the empha-sis on Brentwood, all the bands are local.

“At least one person in each band is a Brentwood resident,” according to Jes-sica Stonebarger, vice president of Harvest Time and event organizer.

Kids in various age groups can also race in small tractors, pedaling their way to recognition and prizes, and the East Con-tra Costa Historical Society is planning to oversee ‘old-fashioned’ games that should delight the current young generation. An-other fun event, Interview with a Farmer, will be held both days and offer visitors an

interesting opportunity to hear from local farmers.

“The Interview with a Farmer event will be like a panel, where three or four lo-cal farmers will be on stage, answering pre-submitted questions,” said Stonebarger. “Last year, questions centered around how the drought and new housing were effect-ing farmland and crops.”

The Harvest Time Festival will be lo-cated at 35 Oak St., from 10:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on July 9, and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on July 10. For more information, visit www.facebook.com/HarvestTimeFarms.

Sara Simoni was the Harvest Time Festival’s Tomato Princess for 2015. A new princess or prince will be crowned at this year’s event.

It’s summertime, and those harmful rays are at their strongest, but with some helpful tips and good common sense, your children can safely enjoy the warm weather while steering clear of the harmful effects of the sun.

Skin protection is imperative for chil-dren during the summertime when there is increased exposure to dangerous UV rays. It’s important to note that most sun dam-age occurs in early childhood, which can lead to skin cancer later in life. Reasons

for this include the fact that children have a thinner outer layer of epidermis, their body surface is larger related to their over-all mass, and they have less melanin, which makes them more susceptible to burns and the harmful effects of the sun. This is espe-cially true for young children less than two years of age.

There are short and long-term effects of sun exposure for children. Some of the short-term effects include burns and the potential for heat exhaustion - or worse, heat stroke.

The more severe, long-term effects of exposure to the sun can include DNA damage, which can lead to cancer or pre-

cancerous conditions.  Remember that the sun is at its highest

and UV rays are the strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., so be sure to use the fol-lowing tips during those times. 1. Babies under 6 months of age should be kept away from sunlight altogether. If you need to be out, place your baby in a stroller with a canopy that covers any possible en-try point for the sun.2. Children with fair skin are at high risk for sun damage. Take precautions to ensure that protection (sunscreen and outerwear) is maximized. And remember, although fair skin children are more at risk for skin damage, everyone can get skin cancer from UV exposure.3. Utilize preventative measures for chil-dren to avoid direct contact with the sun such as umbrellas, hats with brims, and sunglasses and clothes that offer UV pro-tection. 4. Keep children covered in light, cotton clothes with a tight weave that does not allow the sun to come into contact with the skin. 5. Apply sunscreen liberally 15 to 30 min-utes before going out to allow for absorp-tion. Be sure to cover all extremities such as the face, nose, ears, back, chest and legs.6. If swimming, reapply every time your children exit the water to ensure constant protection. Also remember that UV rays can bounce off the water, thus make sure your children’s entire bodies are protected. 7. If your children are exercising, be sure to regularly apply sunscreen since it can

lose effectiveness due to sweating. 8. When choosing a sunscreen for your child, be sure to look for three key things on the label:• Protection against both UVA and UVB

rays.• An SPF of at least 15 or 30. An SPF of

higher than 50 ironically does not pro-vide that much extra coverage.

• Zinc oxide or titanium dioxide as an ingredient.

9. Keep children hydrated. Children tend to sweat less and produce more body heat, which places them at greater risk for dehy-dration. Encourage drink breaks every 20 minutes to replace lost bodily fluids. Fluids that contain salt are strongly recommended.10. Treat burns with a cold compress and place on areas that are warm or painful. Avoid petroleum-based products—which tend to insulate heat—in favor of those with Aloe vera.

This summer, use good common sense and remember this practical advice: protect your children’s skin, keep them hy-drated and watch for the telltale signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

Teen helps needy with Soles4Souls

Heritage High School in-coming senior Sarah Nunnink, 16, recently traveled to Costa Rica with Soles4Souls, a nonprofit organiza-tion, with service on her mind.

Nunnink became a teen ambassador for the organization last November, planning several community shoe drives and collecting more than 600 pairs of shoes. She raised more than $3,000 to travel to Latin America this summer, and she helped distribute 2,000 pairs of shoes to the poorest areas of Costa Rica.

The four-day mission started at CED-CAS, a local Center for Health Education and Health Services. The Humanitarian Founda-tion in the shantytown of La Carpio= served as a distribution site. Approximately 2,000

children waited for hours, in the rain, for a new pair of shoes.

“To see children living in houses with tin roofs, dirt floors and non-flush toilets made it difficult for me at times,” said Nunnink. “ It was a great experience to see a little face light up ... having their feet washed, then fitted for a new pair of shoes. It’s an incredible feeling for both them and me.”

Soles4Souls travels all over the world. They ‘wear down poverty’ by bringing shoes and clothes to the poorest communities.

Nunnink plans to go to Haiti next year and states, “This experience has changed me. I learned that what I want doesn’t compare to what other people need.”

Walter John TowersFebruary 20, 1918 - May 29, 2016

Walter John Towers passed away on May 29, follow-ing a short illness.

He was born in Los Angeles, in 1918, and recently celebrated his 98th birthday. Walter often said he wanted to live to be 100 years old, and he almost made that century mark!

Walter served in the Army between 1941 and 1945, stationed in the Aleutian Islands and Europe. After his discharge, he married the love of his life, Mary Betten-court, and they resided in Anderson, Cali-fornia, where Walter worked for the Kim-

berly Clark Lumber Company until his retirement. Walter and Mary then moved to the Woodgate Mobile Home Park in Brentwood, in 1978.

Walter loved living in the park, and he especially enjoyed meeting his buddies early each morning at the park clubhouse for coffee. He also loved the park potlucks and would often talk about the wonderful selection of food and how he was so happy to take home leftovers.

Walter’s wife, Mary, preceded him in death in 1987. He is survived by his nephew, Guy Towers and his wife, Alice; his niece, Lillian Hineline; a cousin, Jack England and wife, Marianne; and his sis-ter-in-law, Mabel Bettencourt. Per Walter’s wishes, there will be no services. The Nep-tune Society will scatter his ashes at sea off the coast of Marin County.

his mother. At about 3 a.m. the following day, Shultz is alleged to have entered Jor-don’s room and stabbed him multiple times with the knife, causing Jordon to suffer pro-longed mental and physical trauma before he died, according to the suit.

Lawsuit documents also place blame on Contra Costa Health Services and Con-tra Costa Regional Medical Center offi-cials for failing to follow up on Shultz after he was discharged from the hospital, and

on Shultz’s mother for failing to warn the Almgren family of Shultz’s access to the knife, his mental disorder, her call to law en-forcement or his physiological evaluation at the hospital.

“Had the Almgren family been made aware of any of these facts, or others regard-ing William’s behavior, they would not have allowed William into their home and Jordy would not have been killed,” Verna said.

Weeds from page 1A

have never been eradicated or controlled anywhere in the world. The DBW has sought a risk assessment and is currently working to come up with a safe way to control the vines in the Delta.

“The entire division is committed to enhancing communication between resi-dents and officials,” Sandoval said. “We are trying to improve how we control the plants and communicate with the impact-ed public.”

The DBW is also working closely with Contra Costa County Supervisor Mary Piepho through the Delta Protection Commission (DPC). Lynn Sadler, deputy director for the DBW, recently made a pre-sentation to the DPC on the aquatic weed control programs.

“I have been working with the new dep-uty director at DBW for an updated town hall forum in Discovery Bay,” Piepho said. “(We can) introduce her (to residents) and get from her an update on DBW’s efforts.”

Piepho said that the time frame for

this meeting would probably be August or September.

Catherine Kutsuris, interim general manager for Discovery Bay, said that while aquatic weeds do not fall under the jurisdic-tion of the town’s community services dis-trict board, the town would be happy to as-sist in scheduling a meeting with the DBW.

Di Fate hopes the meeting with the DBW happens soon.

“It’s time that the people in Discovery Bay were told the truth about the weeds,” he said. “We need a town hall meeting to get (Sadler) up to speed on what’s going on. We need to get a commitment out of her, get the DBW to come up with a plan and execute it, and the faster the better. If this vine becomes as dominant out here as (other parts of the Delta), it will take over. Right now, our only option is to get out there and hack at the plant with a knife.”

JULY 1, 2016 HEALTH & BEAUTY THEPRESS.NET | 23A

A little over seven years ago, it was a thrill to watch my youngest grandchild come into the world.

Childbirth eluded me personally, but marrying grandpa more than 33 years ago blessed me with an entire family, including

many wonderful grandkids. I watched in amazement three times, as each of the younger ones were born, greeting them with a smile and, “Grandma loves you.”

At the hospital, my son was on his laptop, posting pictures on this thing called Facebook, so all

of our friends and family could see the new baby immediately.

He then said, “Mom, you need a Facebook account,” to which I replied, “no way!”

However, I eventually gave in to the social-media phenomenon. At first, I was quite leery about being able to navigate this technical roadway and perhaps open my private life to so many. But, after a little while, I too was posting pictures, making videos, sending comments to other people’s posts, hitting the like button and, oh yes, sharing. Sharing is caring, you know!

I got Grandpa to also join, and since it’s free of charge, no harm no foul. He was

quite resistant in the beginning, but every morning, I hear him checking his page for clever quotes, jokes, inspirational messages and, of course, the many beautiful pictures of our family and friends.

There are a few of these sites, but I found Facebook to be the easiest for me to figure out. Every day, you get a list of events happening in your area that might be fun to attend or join. They tell you whose birthday it is that day and give you a space to send them a cheerful message.

The days of purchasing birthday cards, buying stamps and making a trip to the mailbox are all but over, since you can electronically send any kind of holiday or milestone card you want to, and most of them are free of charge. I still enjoy the snail-mail cards, but with hundreds of Facebook friends you select, the zero cost and convenience is outstanding.

On holidays, you can wish everyone on your list a happy day from the comfort of your home and computer or cell phone. You gotta love technology.

For years, I sent hundreds of handwritten Christmas and Chanukah cards to my family, friends and business associates. Each had a personal note and had my return address, which was also handwritten. Now, with some arthritis in my right hand, using social media to send my holiday wishes is a personal godsend for me.

There are quite a few groups on these

sites that help you buy things you may need or sell items you want to get rid of. Local to each area, you can look for free and very reasonably priced items, as they are like a virtual garage sale. To sell or give away something, all you do is take a picture of the item, specify the price, offer a brief description and hit the post button.

After a few times, you get pretty good at it, but like everything else on the Internet, you should follow the rules the administrator sets up and use caution when giving out your personal information. You may want to ask someone who has done it before to show you the ropes.

A few things to be aware of if you decide to join any of the social-media sites are good to mention. You will start off by sending and getting friend requests. Make sure you or someone you trust knows the person before you accept their inquiry. You can look at their page, see their other friends and view what kind of things they post, excluding anyone that has offensive or inappropriate pictures.

Most of my grandchildren are in my friend group, so I watch out for anything that is not for their eyes. You can block anyone that offends you, delete people who no longer share your interests and hide any ads that may come up trying to sell you things.

I have been known to type and send goofy things that make no sense at all, and then have to send a second comment

starting with, “Oops!”Occasionally, someone’s page may

get what they call “hacked,” and a second request will come to you. If you are already friends with them, decline the second one, as it is not that person.

You can also make a private group that only specific people can ever see. We have a family one.

Seniors who are living alone or may not be able to get out often find this a fun way to stay in touch with others, reconnect with old friends far away and see pictures of loved ones daily.

If you are new to it, please ask someone to help you and avoid pitfalls - I strongly suggest a grandchild since they are the best at this stuff!

Harvest Park bowler shines on the lanesThe importance of the old adage of ‘mother

knows best’ strikes young Harvest Park bowler Cody Herzog each time he hits the lanes.

On a whim seven years ago, Herzog’s mother, Tammy, suggested that her son give bowling a try. Now 14, Herzog is flourishing in the sport he calls his passion.

“It’s something fun, and it keeps me active,” said Herzog, as he honed his skills last week at Harvest Park Bowl. “I’m kind of used to (bowling), and I don’t want to stop.”

Herzog was named one of the top 100 youth bowl-ers in Northern California last year and will head to Indiana this month to vie with some of the top youth bowlers from around the world during the Junior Gold Championship 10-day tournament.

The trip will mark yet another achievement for the Oakley youngster. In the brief time he has spent in the sport, he’s already racked up $4,000 in college scholarships, won a Northern California Youth Bowl-ing All-Star tournament in and qualified for the elite Junior Gold Championship next month - but that is far from good enough for him.

He’s already pondering his future as a collegiate bowler and tosses around the prospect of one day be-coming a professional or coaching on the PBA Tour.

Through it all, he knows that success will not materi-alize without hard work and a little help from mom.

“Everywhere I go, I have to thank my mom, be-cause she is the one who takes me everywhere and buys me everything I need,” he said.

That special relationship is on full display on most Sundays at Harvest Park Bowl, where Herzog sharp-ens his skills alongside his mother, who is also a bowl-ing coach, and fellow instructor Duane Wilson.

Last Sunday, Herzog could be seen slumped over a chair, irritated he wasn’t mastering short patterns, but his frustration is just another factor that drives his success in the sport.

“He’s dedicated and takes his game very seri-ously,” Wilson said. “One thing I really like is he gets frustrated, and when he gets frustrated, that tells me he cares about it.”

Herzog’s next major challenge, The Junior Gold Championship in Indiana, will test his knowledge, skill and ability to adapt. He’ll have just a few practice games to determine the lane pattern and adjust to a three-hour time change, but he says he’ll be ready.

“I just want to go frame by frame and just have some fun,” he said. “However this turns out, I know I am going to have fun. It’s going to be in my mind for some time.”

Oakley race car driver dominates the track

The recent Wild West Modified Shootout fea-tured 90 racers from throughout the U.S. and parts of Canada, but one man was clearly the best of the bench.

Oakley’s Kellen Chadwick won the series point’s championship, winning first place in four of the six races that were actually contested. Chad-wick’s four wins tied a Wild West Modified Shoot-out record.

Chadwick didn’t only win the series; he was completely dominant, finishing 93 points ahead of his nearest competitor. The difference was greater than the margin between second and sixth and barely smaller than the gap between second and seventh. While Chadwick hoped to win a few races and set winning the points total as a realistic expec-tation, he was thrilled with the performance.

“It’s hard to win one, let alone four,” Chad-wick said. “I feel like we ran really well. There were a couple of nights that we won that I think we still had some left, but we were never challenged for those wins. We had a brand-new race car that we built to take there and only had two nights on it before we left. It was phenomenal. I don’t think we could have asked for anything better.”

Chadwick closed the week out in emphatic fashion, winning the second-to-last race at Sunset Speedway Park in Banks, Oregon, as well as the finale at Grays Harbor Raceway in Elma, Wash-ington. His other two events came in the shoot-

out’s second and third races, winning at Yreka’s Siskiyou Motor Speedway and at Oregon’s Cottage Grove Speedway.

A second-place finish at the opening event at Oregon’s Southern Oregon Speedway, in White City, set up the week.

“That first night, he took second, and I think if he had been a little more aggressive, he could have won that,” Chadwick’s wife Cristina said. “But, he was being conservative, and I am kind of glad he was, because you can ruin your car if you’re not.”

In addition to his wife and kids, Chadwick praised his parents, Tina and Chad; grandfather, Don Paladino; and brother-in-law, Brian Pearce, for their contributions.

“My brother-in-law took a week’s worth of vacation to go to Oregon with me to work on that car to help keep that going,” Chadwick said.

The next big event for Chadwick is an impor-tant one at the Jerry Hetrick Memorial Race. In addition to taking place at his home track at the Antioch Speedway, it also honors a late family friend. After that, Chadwick will focus on races at the All-Star Modified Shootout and the big season ending events throughout California.

While the focus is now on the next races, Chad-wick and his family are left with lasting memories from the weeklong Wild West Modified Shootout.

“It was awesome,” Cristina said. “This was my first road trip with him. I’ve never done a long se-ries like that. It was just amazing to watch him do so great.”

Wildfire burns up the soccer field

The West Coast Soccer Club’s Wild-fire went undefeated in four games in the U.S. Club Soccer West Regionals tournament to earn a spot in the national competition to be held in Aurora Colorado in late July.

In the first game in Davis, the Wildfire faced a visiting team from Nevada. Within the first 10 minutes, the Wildfire’s Tatiana Elsea scored off an assist from Ra-chel McCarthy. Goal two came four minutes lat-er, from midfielder Sydney Mendoza with a long shot that sailed over the keeper’s fingertips. The third goal came six minutes later off a beautiful pass from Kate Wallace to Sa-vannah Seals. Sierra Martin scored an-other two right before half to make the score 5-0.

As the second half got underway,

Tori Borga crossed to Elsea for goal six. McCarthy got goal seven unassisted, and Sara Shea passed to Kayla Grisham

to finish out an 8-0 win.The second game was

against long time rival, Bay Oaks. The Wild-

fire’s Megan Clifton scored first on a

pass from Borgna. Bay Oaks

managed to get one back to tie the game 1-1 at the half. In a good passing battle, the sec-ond half went scoreless until

the 70 minute. Wildfire’s Isabella

Barbero sent a per-fectly placed corner

kick to the middle of the box, where Martin

pulled off a flick over her back to place the ball into the

net, giving the Wildfire a 2-1 win. In game three, the Wildfire faced a

physically big team from Boulder, Colo-

Brentwood water polo player Isabella Strimling, seen here in the second row in the red cap, recently represented the U.S. at the Olympic Development Program Youth Nationals. The selection

process involved two assessment camps, which about 100 athletes at-tended, with only 12 players making the squad. At the event in Irvine, Strimling’s Pacific and Central Zone team finished fifth. Strimling intends to compete in college and make the team again next year.

The Brentwood Pony Pinto Jr. and Pinto Braves recently won the league championship for the second time in a row. The squad compiled a record of 35 wins, three losses and two ties in the last

two seasons. The Braves recently captured another first-place trophy with a 4-1 win over the Yankees. “The boys became a family,” said team mom Karen Rael. “The coaches were not just their coaches, they were their mentors, their friends and their number-one fans. Their motto until the end was ‘hard work pays off,’ and they proved that until the end.” Coach Gilbert, Coach Ryan and Coach Bobby manage the team.

Impact soccer squad wins Champions Cup

Impact Soccer Club’s 07 boys’ Green team recently won the Champions’ cup at the Elk Grove Kick Off Classic.

Andrew Veran held strong as goalie for the duration of all four games in high 90-degree weather. With the help of his per-sistent and strong line of defenders - Justin Long, Chase Durflinger and Kaiden An-tonich - the boys allowed only five goals and fostered the path for numerous assists. In collaboration with the versatile de-fenders and forwards Austin King, Tyler

Hernandez and Tano Garcia, midfielders Randhu Reyes and Drew Cazarez repeat-edly worked their magic down the field, adding to the double-digit count of assists. Reyes made five shots to the back of the net and Durflinger plotted two perfectly.

rado. Boulder scored first by executing off a nice pass to its right wing. The Wildfire could not answer through the rest of the first half. The second half started slow, but the Wildfire adjusted to ramp up the offensive attack. With one minute remaining in the match, Martin connected on a loose ball on the left side of the goal to tie the match. Game three ended in a 1-1 draw.

The two top point earners, Wildfire and FC Boulder, moved on to the fourth and final game, with the winner earning a chance to compete at nationals. Know-ing Boulder would put up a good fight, the Wildfire attacked first with a few shots on goal but couldn’t sink any.

As both teams tried to find a rhythm, the game quickly turned into a battle in the midfield. Wildfire’s Amanda Zeck, Mayzin Kung, Martin and Mendoza took control in the middle, forcing Boulder to the outside where Wildfire’s defensive line of Seals, Clifton, Shea, Leila Anzo, Bri Torres and Krissy Keller disrupted plays and picked off runners. Wildfire keepers Mackenzie Long and Brianne Radliff deflected the few shots on goal by Boulder.

With 20 minutes remaining in the second half, Wildfire finally executed on an offensive play. Wildfire’s Zeck stole a ball from a Boulder forward and distrib-uted it to Borgna, making a run down the right side of the field. Borgna sent a

perfectly placed ball into the middle of the box, where Kate Wallace headed the ball toward the left side of the goal. The ball was deflected by Boulder’s keeper into the path of Clifton, who cleaned up from the left and scored the only goal of the match, moving Wildfire ahead 1-0 to claim the victory.

With one summer tournament championship under their belt, the Wild-fire will now focus on a few upcoming college showcases, including the Davis Legacy College Showcase, Surf Cup and the U.S. Club Soccer National tourna-ment.

The Fourth of July is one of the most stressful and potentially dangerous times of the year for pets.

While you and your family, friends, and neighbors are celebrating the holi-day with fireworks, pets are finding these festive activities anything but celebra-tory. By planning ahead and taking some common-sense precautions, you can help ensure your pet is happy and safe this Fourth of July.

1. Do not take your pet to fireworks displays.

2. Do not leave your pet alone in the car during fireworks (or ever). With only hot air to breathe inside a car, your pet can suffer serious health effects or even death in a few short minutes. Partially opened windows do not provide sufficient air, but they do provide an opportunity for your pet to be stolen. Leaving your pet alone in the car is never a good idea.

3. Keep your pets in your home in a comfortable and quiet area with the shades drawn. If your pet is crate trained, then his crate is a great choice. Some animals can become destructive when frightened, so be sure you’ve removed any items your pet could destroy or that would be harm-ful. Leave a television or radio playing at normal volume to keep your pet company while you’re attending Fourth of July pic-

nics, parades and other celebrations. 4. Consult a vet for anxiety relief. If

you know that your pet is seriously dis-tressed by loud noises like thunder, con-sult with your veterinarian for ways to help alleviate the fear and anxiety he will experience during fireworks displays.

5. If your pet seeks comfort in a bath-tub, under a bed or other small space ... let him. Do not try to lure him out. If the space is safe, and it makes him feel more secure, let him be.

6. Never leave pets outside unat-tended. Even a fenced yard or a chain is not safe. In their fear, pets who normally wouldn’t leave the yard may escape and become lost or become tangled in their chain, risking injury or death.

7. Make sure your pet is wearing an identification tag. If your pet does run off, proper identification can help ensure a safe return. In addition, it is also rec-ommended to microchip your pet. This is an added safeguard should your pet lose his identification tag. Animals found run-ning around should be taken to the local animal shelter, where they will have the best chance of being reunited with their owners.

Here’s to you and your pet having a happy and safe Independence Day!

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 POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are consider-ing bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bid-ding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not auto-matically 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 be-ing 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 ex-ist 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 post-poned 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 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwidepost-ing.co- m for information regard-ing the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000005877741. Informa-tion about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the sched-uled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone in-formation or on the Internet Web site.
