Odyssey teams take on the world Two teams from the Brentwood Union School District (BUSD) took top honors while competing in the World Finals of the Odyssey of the Mind, at Iowa State University, in Ames, Iowa, last month. The international academic and creativity competition brought teams together from the U.S., Singapore, Poland, China, Japan and Korea. The fifth graders from Pioneer Elementary placed 15th in the world. They competed in problem 2, division 1. The third graders from Brentwood Elementary placed 28th, competing in problem 1, division 1. “The students and coaches in this competition were amazing,” said BUSD Superintendent Dana Eaton. “By finishing as one of the top two teams in California, they were able to represent their state in an international competition. Our students were able to live on campus at Iowa State for a week and interact with students from across the country and around the world. There are some impactful experiences that stay with kids throughout their lifetimes, and I have no doubt this will be one for these students.” For a breakdown of the scores, visit http:// goo.gl/ZumeYI.

Preparing for a disaster by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer If an emergency struck, would you be ready? Members of the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) recently visited Brentwood to arm residents with the skills and information necessary to prepare for – and survive – a disaster. The Brentwood event was the culmination of a 20-hour training program, which included members of CERT chapters in Brentwood, Pittsburg, Martinez and Concord. More than 100 participants converged on Brentwood City Park, along with an additional 30 volunteers from local police, fire and other emergencyservice organizations. Participants visited workstations and took part in a variety of hands-on scenarios - each focused on preparing for and reacting to an emergency. According to Margaret Romiti, emergency and volunteer services manager for CERT in Concord, the firsttime Brentwood event was important for a number of reasons. “It was a great turnout, and we are very happy about that,” said Romiti, who added that in the past 10 years, CERT has trained more than 50,000 residents in Contra Costa County. “The thing about California is that not enough people prepare for large

Because we don’t know when the next earthquake will come, and they are less frequent, people are less likely to prepare.

BAC receives five-star rating BAC Community Bank, in Stockton, is honored to announce it has earned BauerFinancial Inc.’s highest five-star superior rating. A five-star rating indicates that BAC Community Bank is one of the strongest banks in the nation, excelling in such areas as capital, loan quality, profitability and much more. “As market conditions continue to change, banking institutions must be adept enough to evolve with them,” said Karen L. Dorway, president of BauerFinancial. “With BAC Community Bank’s stellar financial condition and track record, we have no doubt in its ability to do so. The community is privileged to have such a strong financial partner in its midst.” Originally established in 1965, as Bank of Agriculture and Commerce (or BAC), it also operated as ECC Bank in East Contra Costa County. The Berberian family, which owns the bank, along with the bank’s board and management, decided to rename the bank as part of its 50th-anniversary celebrations in 2015. Today, 51 years after its inception, BAC Community Bank operates through conveniently located branch offices in Antioch, Brentwood, Concord, Discovery Bay, Lodi, Modesto, Oakley and Stockton and also has a loan-production office in Tracy.

When math and science meet origami by Amy Schrader Correspondent When most people think of origami, images of paper cranes and frogs come to mind, but when you combine origami with math and engineering principles, you can create intricate, mind-blowing designs that are both beautiful and useful. On Tuesday, June 28, Robert Lang, a wellknown physicist, origami expert and TED talk presenter, will be leading a lecture at the Brentwood Community Center as part of Science at Your Library, a county-wide lecture series for adults. His lecture, The Math and Magic of Origami, will demonstrate how the algorithms used in origami design can solve math and engineering problems, such as creating safer airbags, space telescopes and more. “Folding can provide solutions to engineering problems in many areas,” said Lang. “Incorporating origami into mathematical education provides tangible examples of many concepts in math and can illuminate those concepts in ways that conventional instruction doesn’t necessarily do.” Lang’s work is currently being shown in an exhibition at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles and will be on display at a solo exhibition at the Huntington Library and Gardens in Southern California, opening in October and running through the holidays. One of Lang’s most challenging pieces of work, titled Redpath Pteranodon Opus 506, was commissioned by the Redpath Museum of Natural History, in Montreal, Quebec, and called for folding the creation in life size, with a three-meter
“ Folding can provide solutions to engineering problems in many areas.
”
Robert Lang wingspan. The pteranodon is currently installed at the museum. “It was folded from one very large square and took about a week of folding and rigging for hanging,” said Lang.” Lang’s work demonstrates the endless possibilities of combining math and science with origami, which the Contra Costa County library is excited to share with its patrons. “This is the first time that the Contra Costa County library is promoting a lecture series for our adult patrons as part of our Summer Reading Festival,” said Rita Carrasco, Contra Costa County Walnut Creek’s adult services librarian. This summer’s reading program is all about STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math). “Mr. Lang’s presentation takes the concept of origami, or simple paper-folding, and turns it into a complex mathematical problem, which takes origami to a whole new level,” said Carrasco. The lecture is scheduled for 7:30 p.m., at the Brentwood Community Center, 35 Oak St., in Brentwood. For more information, visit www. ccclib.org or www.langorigami.com.

TAXABLE GAIN? There is a big benefit to homeowners in our current tax code, where you can sell a principal residence and avoid paying taxes on up to $250,000 of gain if you are single, and up to $500,000 in gain if you are married, as long as you’ve lived there at least two out of the last five years. But what happens if you have to move prior to the two-year period? The good news is your home is probably worth a lot more than what you paid. The bad news is you may be subject to capital gains taxes! Whether you owe the taxes or not will depend on your reason for selling. If you are moving just to get a bigger, smaller, newer or better home, you’ll probably owe taxes. However, if you are selling because of a change in employment, divorce or another IRS ‘safe haven,’ you might qualify to avoid some or all of any capital gains taxes owed. If you don’t meet one of these safe havens, don’t despair. Talk with your tax expert and find out how much it will be. The tax hit may be less than you think. If
you bought a home for $400,000 and it’s now worth $500,000, it looks like $100,000 in gain. However, you can deduct some closing costs on the purchase and the sale transactions, along with hard improvements. Some of my clients opt to make the move and just pay the tax, because the benefits of moving outweigh the taxes owed. But many other times, they find that if they just delay selling their home a few months (in order to meet the two-year period) it saves them thousands of dollars. My point is to only make your decision to sell or not sell once you have all the facts. I’m not a tax expert, so check with your tax professional. If you have questions on this or any other real-estate topic, call 925-240-MOVE (6683). #1 for Brentwood listings sold 11 out of last 14 years.

HOW DO YOU HOLD TITLE? PROBLEMS OF JOINT TENANCY
by Joan Grimes, Esq.
When we were young and buying our first house, I remember our realtor asking us how we would like to hold title. Do you want to hold as “Joint Tenants?” We said “yes” as most couples do, but that is not the only choice. Here are the choices and Advantages/Disadvantages. There are 4 primary ways to hold title to real property in California. They are (a) Community Property, (b) Joint Tenancy (c) Tenants in Common or (d) Community Property with Right of Survivorship. Community Property (“CP”) - A married couple can hold title as CP. In CA, there is a rebuttable presumption that real property acquired during marriage is CP. Upon the death of one spouse, the other is entitled to a 50% interest in the real property. The advantage of CP is that upon the death of one spouse, the surviving spouse will receive a step up in basis to the fair market value of the full property at the time of the spouse’s death, even though the surviving spouse only owns 50% of the property. The BIG problem with holding title as CP is that there is no automatic right of survivorship; each spouse has the right to will his or her share of the property. Therefore, your spouse could give 50% of the property to someone else. Joint Tenancy (“JT”) - Unlike CP, with JT there is an automatic right of survivorship. Anyone can title hold using JT and there can be more than two joint tenants holding title. The BIG advantage of JT is that it avoids probate and automatically makes the surviving joint tenant(s) the owner of the property. A BIG disadvantage is that upon the death of a JT, there is only a step up in basis for the ownership share of the decedent joint tenant;
i.e. the surviving joint tenant retains their original basis in the property. Tenancy in Common (“TIC”) - With a TIC, title can be held by two or more individuals for undivided fractional interest; i.e. each owns undivided interest in property and can occupy property, encumber, transfer or sell his or her interest in the property. The BIG disadvantage is no right of survivorship, no stepped up basis, problems of holding unequal interest and tax issues. Community Property with Right of Survivorship (“CPwRS”) - In 2001, California enacted CC Section 682.1 which created CPwRS. The advantage is that there is automatic right of survivorship and full step up in basis on death of first spouse. Disadvantage is no right for spouse to dispose of his/her property to someone other than spouse. CPwRS is a cost effective way to avoid probate and significantly reduce tax liability for spouses on the death of the first spouse. However, it will not avoid probate on the death of the surviving spouse. It is for this reason that we recommend holding title to real property in an inter vivos trust (“Living Trust”) to avoid the cost and time of probate. If you do not know whether you are holding title to your property correctly, call me. I see people for a free 30-minute consultation in my Walnut Creek and Brentwood offices.

The Heritage High School advanced sports medicine class recently helped the school earn a National Athletic Trainers’ Association Safe Sports School award, which recognizes secondary schools that provide safe environments for student athletes.
Keeping sports safe Heritage High School was recently named the recipient of the National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA) Safe Sports School award. The award champions safety and recognizes secondary schools that provide safe environments for student athletes, reinforcing the importance of providing the best level of care, injury prevention and treatment. “We remain committed to the health and welfare of young athletes in competitive sports,” said NATA President Scott Sailor. “This award recognizes the contributions and commitment of schools across the country that are implementing safe-sports policies and best practices to ensure athletes can do what they love best and have the appropriate care in place to prevent, manage and treat injuries, should they occur.” Sarah Davies, a certified athletic trainer and Heritage High sports medicine teacher, said the school was thrilled to get the award. “Heritage High is honored to receive this first-team recognition from NATA,” she said. “We remain committed to keep-
Natural Stone
ing our student athletes safe during physical education classes, team practices and games so they can accomplish their own goals of great competition, winning records, fair sportsmanship and good health.” In order to achieve Safe Sport School status, athletic programs must meet a series of criteria, including creating a positive athletic health care administrative system; providing or coordinating pre-participation physical examinations; develop injury and illness prevention strategies, including protocols for environmental conditions; provide or facilitate injury intervention and provide a permanent, appropriately equipped area to evaluate and treat injured athletes. Heritage’s advanced sports medicine students worked to gather all the necessary information and interview members of the health care team, putting together a 400-page document to prove the school was worthy of the recognition. “I am very proud of all the work they have done.” Davies said.

Steve Barr Council member, City of Brentwood As a county supervisor representing District 3, my focus would be on representing the needs of our communities, as well as working collaboratively as a member of the board of supervisors. My 10 years of elected public service and 30 years as a small-business owner have provided me with a strong background to represent you as District 3 Supervisor. During my completed terms as trustee for Liberty Union High School District, as a member of Brentwood City Council and as a director of East Contra Costa Fire District, I have been held accountable for fiscal and policy decisions that impact the welfare of a community. www.stevebarr2016.com
Diane Burgis East Bay Regional Park District Board Director My priorities are to improve public safety; increase economic development and job creation; ensure fiscal accountability and transparency; and develop solutions to reduce traffic and improve infrastructure. As executive director of Friends of Marsh Creek Watershed, a director on the East Bay Regional Park District Board and a former member of the Delta Protection Commission, I understand Delta water issues. I will work to solve regional issues that affect us all, like fire protection and police services, transportation and infrastructure. I am honored to be endorsed by our current Contra Costa County Supervisor Mary Piepho, Contra Costa County Supervisor John Gioia and former Assemblywoman Joan Buchanan. www.dianeburgis.com
Douglas F. Hardcastle Small businessman and councilman As the owner of a business in our county for more than 40 years, having raised a family here, plus my service as an Army veteran, as mayor and council member for the City of Oakley, 12 years as director on the Ironhouse Sanitary Board and chairman of Transplan in East County, I believe I offer the best combination of experience, commitment and knowledge of the issues. I have the backing of former Rep. Bill Baker, former state senator and Sheriff Richard Rainey, former Assemblywoman Lynne Leach, Oakley Mayor Kevin Romick and Councilman Randy Pope, College Board Trustee John Nejedly, former Antioch Mayor Jim Davis and Councilman Manny Soliz, Jr. www.doughardcastle.com
Wade Harper Mayor and retired policeman
Odessa Lefrancois Respiratory therapist
I am running for supervisor because Contra Costa County is in need of effective leadership to address public-safety issues; properly staff our sheriff ’s department and fire stations; build trust with employee groups; and build collaborative community partnerships. As the only candidate who is a directly elected mayor of Antioch, the largest city in District 3, and 24-year law enforcement veteran police manager (retired), I have unique experience in addressing issues such as protecting our water rights, reducing crime and blight, paying down unfunded liabilities and pensions and fiscal stewardship.
Contra Costa County is changing rapidly, and we must have leaders who care about the public interest more than their own interest. I enlisted in the Navy after high school to serve my country. I have lived in District 3 for 16 years and have worked for county health services as a respiratory therapist for 12 years. As supervisor, I will work tirelessly to: • Improve county safety services • Protect our waterways and preserve our wetlands • Improve county healthcare delivery for all • Promote better regional transportation system • Be responsive to residents’ needs and concerns www.odessa4supervisor.com
Monica E. Wilson Councilmember and workforce representative My drive to serve the public comes from my parents, who were able to afford a home and start a family in Northern California. I have more than a decade of experience in business development and workforce training. Elected in 2012 as an Antioch councilmember, I used my background and business experience to help the City of Antioch expand public services and grow in a financially responsible way, and I championed local measures to hire more police and reduce crime. I have endorsements from State Controller Betty Yee, Chairwoman on the Board of Equalization Fiona Ma, Assemblymember Jim Frazier, former Antioch Mayor Donald P. Freitas and the California Nurses Association. www.MonicaWilsonforSupervisor.com

the concept of paying respects to the timelessness of his five decades as a hit songwriter and telling some of his life stories, while also explaining the meanings of some of his deeper lyrics. Jack Wright is not an impersonator. He relies on his natural singing voice, which closely resembles Neil’s, and his ability to connect his audiences with the same openness as the master entertainer himself. “I don’t try to shape my vowels to match his,” said Wright. “I don’t try to mimic his stage movement, and I dress more like he has in his later years – mostly black and a little bling – but not over the top, like in the old days. My goal is to authentically recreate songs in all their richness and passion. It’s not about me. It’s about interpreting the words and music. It’s about touching hearts and sharing feelings. As Neil says, ‘We’re here to do something together.’” The Heartlight Show performance will take place at the beautifully restored California Theatre, a rescued treasure from the 1920s, when it was home to vaudeville and silent movies. The 320-seat venue provides a perfect stage for a new show and the making of a new promotional video. Tickets are

The winds of dance blow in Brentwood by Heather Brewer Staff Writer While many think of hula dancing as an art form confined to the Hawaiian islands, the traditional dance form has been gaining popularity across the country. With benefits for the mind, body and spirit, more and more people are finding the dance enhances their lives in more ways than one. Locally, Halau ka Waikahe Lani Malie, a women’s hula halau - or school – and Halau Kahulaliwai, a men’s halau, has been giving the gift of hula to the area for many years. “My Kumu Hula, Juni Kalahikiola Lovel, opened the doors of our Sacramento halau first, in September 1999,” said Vanessa Boscia, whose Hawaiian name is Kameanuilehua, or Kamea for short. “After that, my sister, Lanihuli, asked if she would open a halau in Antioch, and Kumu said that if I could bring 15 women to dance every week, she would come here. Our halau opened in March 2001, in Oakley. It moved to Antioch in 2005, and stayed there until November 2011, when we moved to our current home at the Twin Tigers Dojo in Brentwood.” Besides providing a low-impact, cardiovascular workout, hula enhances memory and movement and helps ease tension and stress. Many Hawaiian songs are about nature; the waves, wind, flowers, rain and clouds. Often, visualizing and interpreting the words with movement can

The hula group meets every other week at Twin Tigers Dojo, in Brentwood. mentally transport you to the islands, connecting you to nature and providing a spiritual experience. “To me, hula is not just about dancing, it is a way of life - the way you live your life, respect your elders, learn about the Hawaiian culture and help others,” said Lovel. “Hula has pushed me to explore new areas, be more physical and learn new skills, such as implement making, costumes, lei making and photography. I am more disciplined and focused in
the tasks that I do, I am more spiritual, and I love to help our haumana (students) more than ever. It is important for us to keep hula and the Hawaiian culture alive and well, and pass it on from generation to generation. It is our kuleana - our responsibility.” Over time, the students of the halau become more like family than simply participants in the same class. “Our group is very much like a big family, where our kumu hula is the ma-
triarch of the group,” said Boscia. “We respect and love her greatly. We hug and kiss each other when we arrive and when we leave class. We do things outside of the halau together, such as go to concerts, movies and barbecues. Although a few of my hula sisters have moved back home to Hawaii, they will always be my hula sisters, and I will always love them.” In the last five years, the students of the halau have come to love Brentwood as their home base. “One of the … best parts of being located in Brentwood is meeting new people - the people of Brentwood are always warm and welcoming,” said Lovel. “We had a Holiday Hula show in Brentwood, at the Veteran’s Hall last December, and everyone who came was so happy and loved the show. One couple had just come in through the doors; they didn’t know anyone and just wanted to see what the show was like. I liked that a lot.” The Halau ka Waikahe Lani Malie and Halau Kahulaliwai are always looking for new members, and they extend a warm invitation to anyone seeking to start classes or just learn more about the experience. They meet on alternate Fridays, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., at the Twin Tigers Dojo, located at 700 Harvest Park Drive, in Brentwood.

Trilogy® by Shea Homes® Launches National Food Drive to Fight Local Hunger Brentwood Resort Community Grand Opens 5 New Models This Weekend For many, June marks the beginning of summer; but for East Bay’s local food banks, employees say June is the month they dread the most, because the generous donations and food supply built up over the holidays starts to dwindle. The reality is that as summer approaches, many local pantries, shelters and food banks struggle to maintain enough food to feed the many hungry families that come through their open doors. This year, Trilogy® by Shea Homes® is on a mission to make a difference, and Trilogy® at The Vineyards is asking its neighbors, homebuyers and the community at large to help. “Hunger in America exists for over 50 million people. That is 1/6th of the U.S. population – including more than one in five children,” said Dan O’Brien, area president for Trilogy by Shea Homes. “That’s why we’ve partnered together with the Contra Costa County Food bank to raise awareness, and Shea Homes will be matching donations made by our customers and homeowners. We need everyone’s help to ensure their shelves stay stocked through one of the most important times of the year – the summer.” As part of this national food drive, Trilogy at The Vineyards in Brentwood is hosting a food drive throughout the month of June. Supporters are invited to visit Trilogy to make a cash donation or drop off nonperishable goods. Five Models Grand Opening This Weekend Trilogy at The Vineyards is also grand opening five brand-new models this Saturday, from 11a.m. to 3 p.m. Guests are invited to drop off their food-drive donations and stay to tour the stunning, new models. To celebrate, Trilogy will be offering delicious barbeque, premium beverages, giveaways and exciting activities throughout the afternoon. “With new floor plans ranging from approximately 1,841 to 3,111 square feet, the five new models offer floor plans that will fit your life, no matter what you’re looking for,” said O’Brien. “We specifically looked at what home shoppers were looking for and designed plans around their needs. In fact, that’s one of the reasons why we launched our Shea3D™ floor plans.” Shea3D is a new approach to home design that gives buyers the opportunity to tailor their home’s main living spaces based on what matters most to them, choosing from three interchangeable layouts for the kitchen, dining and living and entertaining areas. Shea3D buyers can choose from the outdoor-centric, kitchen-centric and entertainment-centric designs. The kitchen-centric plan was designed for the at-home chef, mimicking the layout of a premier restaurant, with design help from Trilogy’s executive chef. The outdoor-centric plan is for the homeowner who wants a design that connects indoor and outdoor living, offering easy access
to the outdoors. For the homeowner who loves to host, the entertainment-centric plan offers additional, open, living space ideal for gatherings or relaxing with family and friends. At this Saturday’s grand opening, guests are invited to tour the Shea3D Ripasso, as well as the community’s four other new models - Vin Santo, Mistelle, Vendage and Barrique. “Home shoppers looking for resort amenities, new, energy-efficient homes and a community designed to keep owners active should tour these new models,”
said O’Brien. “You’ll be amazed. In fact, Trilogy’s new designs are part of why we were awarded the “Ideal Living Magazine” Summer 2016 Best of the Best list for ‘Best Floor Plan Designs for 50+.’ We couldn’t be more proud of our design team.” Beautiful Resort Living in a Brentwood Vineyard Surrounded by scenic vineyards and acres of olive orchards, Trilogy at the Vineyards offers a wine lifestyle at a price point that’s more accessible than Napa. The Vineyards features Los Meganos, a 38,000-square-foot club designed to help

The court will then consider that spouse’s future earning capacity. The court will consider on who will be caring for children and whether or not it is appropriate for a spouse to seek outside employment while caring for the children. Also, the court looks at the contributions each spouse gave to the marriage. If one spouse stayed home and did not earn an income, while the other acted as the breadwinner for the family during the marriage, then the court will take into consideration the limitations of the spouse who stayed home. As you can see spousal support is not determined by just one factor. A careful analysis has to be done to determine the correct amount.

You may be more familiar with the word “alimony” which is the same as “spousal support”. Spousal support or alimony is the term used for payments from one spouse to another after a divorce for the purpose of maintaining the former spouse at a standard of living similar to that enjoyed during the marriage. In California, the courts consider a wide variety of factors in awarding permanent spousal support including the following: • the age and health of the spouses; • the physical and emotional conditions of each spouse; • the duration of the marriage; • the financial resources of each spouse; • the earning capabilities of each party. In addition, the courts will consider the time necessary that it will take to acquire the education and training to help an unemployed spouse find a place of employment.

Opinion from page 22A the success of a community and how it serves as a resource that can change based on everyone’s individual needs. As regular library user, I am always excited to see young people leaving with stacks of books. There are many who believe we live in a digital age, where kids are getting every bit of their information from the Internet, but there is still such a strong need for solid information from books. There is no better resource than a library to find all of it in one place. Over the years, I have watched my students grow, learn, achieve and succeed. Our Oakley Library is a safe, quiet, resourceful place for anyone to come and learn, be entertained and escape for a while. Whether checking out a great book for fun or utilizing the library’s resources for learning, it truly is a community resource and will benefit from growth and expansion. I urge Oakley residents to vote yes on K and support a new Oakley Library and Learning Community Center for our downtown. Together we can build a better community! Greg Hayes Oakley
Burgis takes forum Editor: The Brentwood Press recently sponsored a candidate’s forum, in Discovery Bay, for the District 3 county supervisor’s race. Four of the six candidates attended (Monica Wilson and Wade Harper did not attend). A series of thoughtful questions were posed to each of the candidates, and what resulted were some clear differences among them. Of the candidates, Diane Burgis emerged as the ‘thought leader’ in this forum. As an example, the candidates were asked the question of how they would use county resources to help improve the problem of crime in the county, particularly in the unincorporated areas. All of the other candidates attending made various remarks about how a certain city had higher crime rates than others, despite passing a measure to increase the police force, or how we have to go after those ‘punks’ in those areas to eliminate crime. Diane was the only candidate who actually answered the question – proposing that (among other ideas) the satellite county sheriff’s office located in Oakley could be relocated further east to an unincorporated Contra Costa area such as Discovery Bay, to provide greater protection to those areas, now that Oakley has created its own police department. Rather than offer platitudes or promises with no possible implementation, Diane Burgis actually thinks through the problem and offers a concrete structure to achieve a viable solution. She is the only candidate who does this consistently and across all issues. We need leaders who know how to think – not just mouth platitudes. Join me in voting for Diane Burgis for District
OPINION
3 county supervisor. Susan Morgan Oakley
Libraries are important to our community – vote yes on K Editor: I am an eighth-grade student at O’Hara Park Middle School. I recognize the importance of a community library and know firsthand that kids in Oakley are looking for something more than iPads and video games - we are looking for a place to learn, grown and achieve our dreams. Libraries are an important resource for kids who do not have access to things like technology and electronics for educational purposes. The ‘digital divide’ is greater than most people realize, even here in Oakley, and for some students, having a computer or the technology at home to learn and grow just isn’t an option. The library provides a safe and productive resource when it comes to using technology. I have been visiting the Oakley Library for as long as I can remember. My mother was the person who introduced me to this amazing resource, and I am now a member of the Oakley Library Youth Squad and look forward to volunteering this summer. I wholeheartedly believe libraries give people, including kids and teens especially, a place to communicate similar passions, as well as a place to feel safe, relaxed and where everyone is welcome. Please vote yes on K, the ballot initiative to build a new library and community-learning center in downtown Oakley. One day, I hope to become a doctor or lawyer, so I can help people. Building a larger library in downtown Oakley will have a very positive impact and help Oakley youth built a brighter future with a commitment to growth, learning, imagination and exploration.

Mayor’s clothes don’t matter Editor: I was appalled at the hateful attack on our mayor’s attire by Betty Partridge (Gaughan) and need to defend this beautiful man for his choice to join in the community at concerts and other functions - he is one of us! My mother always taught me, “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.” Shame on you, Betty. Shame on the Brentwood Press for printing this attack on our mayor, and, instead of attacking him in private with a letter or something, having it printed in the paper to further humiliate him. I’m proud of our mayor; he does a great job! He has a big heart for the community, and I’m proud of him no matter what he wears. Carole Adams Brentwood
Mayor loves the city Editor: I read the letter a couple of weeks ago indicating that Brentwood’s mayor sometimes “dresses like a clown and doesn’t

respect the citizens enough to wear a suit.” Mrs. Gaughan, who wrote the letter, may not know that the position of mayor is only a part-time position and that Brentwood is not a large city. I believe that ‘Mayor Bob’ spends much more time than required working for the city, because he loves Brentwood, and he may come to the city hall after pulling weeds in his yard to take care of business. I don’t know our mayor well, but believe he represents Brentwood well. What is more important, action or dress? Dave Stoeffler Brentwood
Unresponsive city services Editor: About two weeks ago, a dead animal (a dog) was spotted on the side of Apricot Way, just West of Fairview. My wife called this in to the city to have it taken care of about a week ago, and was told this falls to animal control ... really? It’s a dead animal; there is nothing to control, it’s a clean-up issue. It’s frustrating, given the amount of taxes we pay, that simple things like this cannot be addressed locally. It’s now been over a week since we reported this and still no action has been taken. Andrew Armstrong Brentwood

Sadly, this day of giving turned out to be a day of disappointment for many of our donors, and we share your frustration. The good news is that, despite these challenges, East Bay Gives demonstrated the unstoppable generosity of our community. Due to the momentum and excitement, the East Bay Community Foundation, which organizes our region’s giving day, extended the day of giving to 11:59 p.m., on May 4. More than 6,000 donations have poured in and East Bay Gives had raised $825,000 as of 7 p.m. Thanks to your generosity, An Elderly Wish Foundation was the recipient of more than $2,000. Most importantly, Kimbia also has made it clear that it has ruled out security issues, and there has been no security breach. We are encouraged by the outpouring of generosity, patience and understanding by so many in the East Bay.

aron Edward (Ed) Stewart, 99, passed away on May 15. His fellow bowlers and friends celebrated his life at Harvest Park bowl, on May 23. “Bowling was such a big part of Ed’s life that it was only fitting that his celebration of life be here at Harvest Park,” said Harvest Park Bowl’s Proprietor Jim Wangeman. Ed bowled for more than 60 years. Most recently, he bowled in two leagues at Harvest Park. The Senior Bowlers at Harvest Park were like family, and ‘the Bowl’ was like home to him. He was an inspiration to all who knew him. Ed’s team name, Ed’s Ten Pinners, continues on in his honor and memory. Rev. Douglas Schoonover, pastor of Delta Community Presbyterian Church in Discovery Bay, officiated the service, which concluded with friends releasing balloons into the heavens in honor of this special man, who will not soon be forgotten.

Patriots end season on diamond by Michael Dixon Correspondent In baseball, there are days when nothing goes right - days when the hard-hit balls all seem to find gloves and the few mistakes your team makes come at absolutely the wrong times. Heritage had one of those games in their North Coast Section (NCS) semifinal against Castro Valley and, unfortunately for the Patriots, it ended their season, as they ended up on the wrong end of a 3-1 final. The game’s biggest play came with no score in the bottom of the second. With two outs and the bases loaded, Heritage lead-off man Bubba Dentoni smoked a ball to center field. Trojans centerfielder Christian Merriweather got a great read on the ball and ran it down, making a fantastic running catch that likely saved his team three runs. “I was going up, looking fastball,” Dentoni said. “I got a good pitch right down the middle. I just swung my butt off at it. He tracked it down and made a good play.” In the following half-inning, Castro

Valley took advantage of two Patriots mistakes. The first came on an overthrow of an attempted steal of second base, which allowed the runner from third to
trot home. The second came on a fielding error. With Trojan lead-off man and speedster David Taylor on second, a bad hop caused the ball to get away from
shortstop Jake Cosgrove. Taylor, who ran on contact took off see Patriots page 26A
BVAL track and field stars headed for state meet Antioch, Pittsburg and Liberty high schools will be represented at the California Interscholastic Federation state track meet in Clovis this weekend. Antioch Junior Adrian Aguirre will make his presence known in the 110- and 300-meter hurdles, after finishing second in both events at last weekend’s Meet of Champions (MOC). In both instances, Aguirre couldn’t fight off De La Salle’s Jonathan Harvey for the top spot. He finished the 110-meter hurdles in 14.40, just behind Harvey, who finished the event in 14.12. In the 300-meter hurdles, Harvey edged Aguirre, finishing in 37.34 to win the event. Aguirre also finished 18th in the boys’ long jump, out of contention for the state meet. Demone Dorsey and Dalaan Green finished a respectable sixth and seventh in the boys’ 100-meter dash at the MOC, but are out of the running for the state meet. Antioch’s 4x100-meter relay squad failed to qualify for the MOC finals, ending in 11th place in the preliminaries. Pittsburg Iffy Joyner notched his ticket to the state meet in the shot put and discus throw events. He finished second at the MOC in both events, with a 188-01 effort in the discus throw and a 52-07.50 throw in the shot put. Amador Valley’s Nathan Esparza won both events. Joyner will be joined by teammate Namontte Grisby, who qualified in the discus throw event by finishing third at the MOC with a 178-09.00 toss. Seuvahnia Kuka (seventh in the girls’ shot put), Yolanda Grisby (22nd in the shot put), Namontte Grisby (ninth in the boys’ shot put), Jose
Garcia and Garrett Parker (third and sixth in the 100-meter dash) finished with respectable efforts, but failed to qualify for the state meet. Isaiah Turner also finished the preliminaries in 10th for the 100-meter dash and 18th in the 200-meter dash. Liberty Pole-vaulter Nathaniel Silver secured his spot in the state meet in the pole-vault event, clearing 14-04.00 to finish third at the MOC. Other Lions made noise at the event, but failed to qualify for the state meet, including Kai Bohannon (12th in the 1600 meters), Alexandra Holland (10th in the girls’ discus and 17th in the shot put), Emily Wylie (sixth in the 800 meters) and Kenroy Higgins (seventh in the 200 meters). Deer Valley Artearra Coffey won the 300-meter hurdles in 43.85 to advance to the state meet. She also finished seventh in the 100-meter hurdles, short of qualifying for the meet in Clovis. Miles Duncan pulled out a fourth-place finish in the 800-meter, but it was not sufficient for him to reach the state meet. Campolindo’s Niki Moore won in 1:54.49. Other results involving Wolverines included Jalen EversThreatt finishing 13th in the 200-meter preliminaries; the boys’ 4x400 meter finishing 19th in the preliminaries; and Telvin Haines getting 15th in the long-jump event, following a 19-11.00 jump.

Patriots from page 25A from third and barely beat a throw that likely would have been either on time or completely unnecessary against any other Castro Valley runner, highlighting the random nature that the sport sometimes offers. Castro Valley added a third run in the top of the fifth, on an RBI double from pitcher Matt Mascio, who also threw a complete game. Heritage fought hard, as the Patriots answered in the bottom of the sixth with their run on an RBI groundout from catcher Chris Troye, scoring Cosgrove. A potentially bigger inning was snuffed out when, with two outs and a man on second, a line drive by designated hitter Domo Espino found a glove, stranding first baseman Jake

Cruce on the bases. In the seventh and final inning, the Patriots put the tying run on base and the winning run at the plate, but a fly out to Merriweather in center ended the game and season. “As far as the coaching goes, I couldn’t ask for anything different,” said coach Kevin Brannan. “If we would have gone up there swinging, with no approach and making a bunch of mistakes, it would feel a lot worse. Obviously, they’re disappointed. I’m disappointed, but they’re a good team. They made the plays, and we didn’t get enough runs.” The 14th seeded Castro Valley team continues its Cinderella run through the NCS playoffs, earning a finals date with

top-ranked De La Salle. The game ended a fantastic season for Heritage, who won a second straight BVAL title and finished the year at 21-5. Playing in his final high school game before moving on to St. Mary’s, senior pitcher and third baseman Kevin Milam was upbeat and retrospective looking back on the season. “I’m proud of this team,” Milam said. “There are a lot of things that don’t show on the outside. It’s a team of my best friends. We work hard. We do 6 a.m. workouts the whole entire year. I’m going to miss playing with these guys. This is as good as it gets. It just goes to show that sometimes, baseball is just how it is.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Other key finishes included the boys’ 4x800-meter relay team finishing fifth; Kidest Befikadu and Danica Dolle ending in ninth and 13th place in the high-jump event; the boys’ 4x100-meters relay team finishing eighth; the girls’ 4x100-meters relay team completing its race in 11th in the primaries; Dominic Littlejohn placing 15th in the 800 meters preliminaries and Jett Charvet taking 29th in the 1600-meter preliminaries.

Measure B from page 1A ton. The district has seen steady growth, from 1,300 students and three schools in 1990 to a projected 9,200 students and the need for a 12th school by the 2018 to 2019 school year. Besides new construction, the district plans to use Measure B money to update technology in the libraries at each school and upgrade classrooms with modern science lab equipment and newer computers. Other key improvements include multipurpose room upgrades; all-access playgrounds; and additional classrooms at the eight elementary schools. Performing arts centers and jogging tracks would be built at the middle schools, along with upgrades to the gymnasiums’ sound systems and the enlarging of music classrooms. The projected cost of a new elementary school is about $35 million and Measure B would cover about a third of the costs associated with new school construction. Passage of the measure would qualify the district for matching state funds, which would provide another third. The remaining money would come from local developer fees. Upgrades at other school sites are slated to cost $4 million at Loma Vista Elementary and up to $30 million at Edna Hill Middle School. If Measure B is approved, it will come with two key stipulations. An independent oversight committee composed of local business leaders, taxpayer groups and seniors would review the use of funds to ensure that they are spent
properly. Also, annual independent audits would be required. “Measure B funds will be used to continue the renovation and modernization of all district schools, providing all of our students and teachers with comparable classrooms and facilities,” said Isaac Montanez, a former Brentwood teacher and principal. Brentwood voters passed similar measures in 1990, 1997 and 2003. “Measure B will continue the community’s investment in elementary and middle schools,” said local businessman Dirk Zeigler. “The value of every home and business in Brentwood will be strengthened by the passage of Measure B.” Opponents of the measure say the district’s assessed valuation estimates are inflated, which would increase the tax rate above $28 per $100,000 if the measure were approved. “If the assessed valuation comes in below the projection, then...tax rates that are based on that would have to be set higher, in order to collect the funds needed for the debt service,” said Contra Costa County Auditor-Controller Robert Campbell. However, he said there are ways to deal with forecasted projections that don’t pan out. “Let’s say that they go through and issue $50 million of the bonds, set the rate going forward and plan on issuing another 50 million in three years, and then, three years down the road, their projections aren’t as accurate, and the

actual growth is below what they projected,” Campbell said. “They could either delay issuing the new bonds or issue them at a lower amount to continue their construction progress, and in that way, mitigate some of the impact from the lower assessed value. The individual taxpayers would not have to pay a substantially higher rate than what is being suggested in the bond measure.” Eaton said the district is confident about its projections.
“We used an expert, outside, consultant firm to analyze the past trends and the future growth in the city,” he said. “We feel like our projections are right on target. They are just that – projections. In the end, you don’t know, but the truth is, if we don’t hit our projections, it will just slow us down, and we won’t be able to sell as many bonds as quickly.” For more information, visit bit. ly/1UtC9nZ.

Making lasting summertime memories “S UMMERTIME, AND THE LIVIN’ IS easy”… so goes the great song from the musical “Porgy and Bess,” which I was lucky to see many years ago, in New York. My Great Aunt Frances, whom we lovingly called Aunt Francy, was a single lady who loved taking me to SENIOR Broadway shows during ORNER the summer while I was off of school. They cost about $3 per ticket for a mid-week matinee then. My day started with a ride on the train, then lunch at the Automat, where I got to MARLA put nickels in a slot and LUCKHARDT open a tiny glass door that housed a sandwich or a piece of pie. If we were really lucky, we would spot actors like Sammy Davis Jr. or Anthony Newley darting down the alley to the back

door of the theatre and ask for an autograph. As I held out my pen and paper, I never heard the word ‘no’ from anyone. If it was really hot and humid, as it usually was in July and August, another treat was a trip to the movies. It was a great way to be entertained and cool off at the same time. That also was much cheaper then, and for less than a buck, I could watch Bette Davis torment her sister Joan Crawford in “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane,” and get a bag of popcorn with a soda. Today, one has to either hit the lottery or find a gold mine to take the kids to a movie. Popcorn? Drinks? National war debt! Look at the ticket line and see how many grandmothers are carrying extra-large purses that smell an awful lot like candy and other snacks. My favorite memories include Saturdays at Coney Island Amusement Park. Brooklyn in the 50s was a kinder and gentler place, and in the summer, my dad had every other

A small leather strap held us in, and off we went, screaming with a combination of fear and joy. At 10 cents a ride, you could have fun all day for what he brought to spend, but inevitably, when it was time to go, I was like a wild child, crying for just one more thrill. Today, taking my grands to Six Flags or Disneyland creates the need for a second mortgage! A slice of pizza or a Nathan’s hot dog was a quarter then, as opposed to $12 now. Most of my little ones are happy with a trip to Menchies to create their own concoction of frozen yogurt, with various toppings like sour gummy bears, worms and chocolate brownies.

It’s almost summertime here and, being a pretty good grandparent, I try to think of things I can do with the kids and not break a bone or wrench my back.

The memories are still quite vivid in this old brain, and I want that to be the case with my grandchildren. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to make them smile. Time is more precious than dollars and, even though I do enjoy a little shopping with each one, I know that the memories we are making are priceless.

rom minimizing signs of aging to operating on those with traumatic injuries, Dr. Cary Canoun at Canoun Plastic Surgery uses his
extensive surgical skill and experience throughout East and central County.
For more than 15 years, the surgeon has performed popular procedures, including breast reconstruction or augmentation, tummy tucks, ‘mommy makeovers’ and nose reshaping, plus lip augmentation and all procedures that help people feel younger. He uses tiny, precise stitches to minimize scars and ensure each patient gets the results they want. “People feel younger when they look younger; they are able to turn back the clock on their (age) and have a natural appearance and become more confident,” he said. “They are able to wear clothes that show off their revitalized body or face. My number-one goal is to improve people’s lives.” With offices in Brentwood and Walnut Creek, Canoun is on staff at John Muir Hospital and the California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco. He is trained in general and plastic surgery, with extensive experience in craniofacial and cosmetic procedures. When patients meet with him for a consultation, they review all the options for procedures specific to the individual. “We go over everything, from the specific procedure to what the surgery entails, plus a basic quote on the costs involved,” he said. Following the surgery, patients are scheduled for multiple follow-up visits, starting just a few days after the procedure, then about a month later and at six months and a

Many of the cosmetic surgeries are elective and paid for by the patient; other procedures may be required because of burns or other accidents the patient has experienced. For example, a person in a car accident or fall could have broken bones in their facial structure that need to be repaired. Facelifts are usually elective, and the doctor meets with clients to discuss options and opinions on specific procedures, including partial and full face-lifts. Patients can also elect to have fillers injected into their faces to minimize wrinkles and restore a smooth, more youthful appearance. Brow lifts are also popular with some patients. Procedures are safe and patients are well monitored
during their treatments. “We’ve done facelifts under sedation on patients aged 70 or more,” said Canoun. Recovery from breast liposuction can be as short as a week, while a face takes seven to 10 days to heal. Abdominal procedures mean a recovery of up to a month. Fillers can also be injected into the lips, a gentle and subtle way to thicken them, without over-filling. Brow lifts and nose-reshaping procedures can also be performed, as well as breast augmentations, arm lifts to reduce stretched skin and tummy tucks, which remove excess skin and fat from the body. “Mommy makeovers are very popular,” said Canoun. “Women who have had a couple of children may become dissatisfied with their figures and want liposuction, which can help them regain their formerly slimmer figures. Breasts can be reduced or reshaped with a lift.” Word-of-mouth and online reviews help guide those who may be considering these elective procedures to make their own moves for a make-over. “Usually, my patients are referred to me by their friends or through Yelp reviews, as well as some referrals from primary-care doctors,” he said. Not all of Canoun’s patients live locally. He has traveled multiple times to Guatemala and the Palestinian territories as a volunteer surgeon to repair cleft palates and other facial conditions. Canoun Plastic Surgery is located at 2400 Balfour Road, suite 230, in Brentwood and is open Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call 925-324-7404 or visit www.drcanoun.com.

Identifying the causes of hiccups
H
iccups may not be a medical emergency, but it certainly can be a
nuisance.
Also known as singultus, hiccups can come out of nowhere and last for quite some time. Finding an effective way to alleviate hiccups has proven elusive to many, forcing people to ponder if they can be prevented. According to the resource Kids Health,
the funny noises and other annoying ticks associated with hiccups can be blamed in part on the diaphragm, a dome-shaped muscle at the bottom of the chest. When the diaphragm is working correctly, it helps to regulate breathing. In a contracted position, the diaphragm lets air into the lungs. When the diaphragm relaxes, the lungs release carbon dioxide. Hiccups occur when the diaphragm starts contracting erratically and out of rhythm. These spasms can cause the larynx and vocal cords to close suddenly, resulting in a sharp intake of air and the hiccup
chirp that occurs thereafter. Hiccups can stop and start abruptly, for no reason at all, but certain things may contribute to hiccups, such as eating spicy food; drinking carbonated beverages; sudden changes in air temperature; excitement or emotional stress; swallowing too much air; and overeating. Many cases of hiccups last only a few minutes, but for some people, hiccups can last a while longer. Persistent hiccups are caused by injury or irritation to the nerves that control the movement of the diaphragm. Sometimes, this results from
acid reflux, degenerative nerve diseases, like multiple sclerosis or even brain injury. Hiccups also may last longer due to overuse of tobacco or alcohol. Males tend to be more prone to hiccups than females. While there are a number of ways to treat hiccups, there is no definitive cure. Holding one’s breath or putting sugar under the tongue are some of the more popular remedies. Hiccups are largely a nuisance and not a medical emergency. However, knowing how to get them under control can be a relief. – Metro Creative

to an uptick in road trips. During such trips, motorists
and their passengers will need to take breaks to refuel both their vehicles and their bodies. Rest stop and convenience store snack options are often unhealthy, and it can be difficult for nutrition-minded travelers to find acceptable fare. A little creativity coupled with some smarter choices can ensure road trips don’t derail healthy diets. ♦ Bring food along. One of the easiest ways to eat healthy while traveling is to bring meals and snacks with you. Look for portable foods that may not require much refrigeration, such as fruit bars or trail mix. If you have room in the car for a small cooler or insulated lunch packs, fill them with fresh fruits and sandwiches. Opt for lean lunchmeats, like chicken and turkey. Avoid using cheese or dressings like mayonnaise that can spoil quickly. Some other easily portable foods include applesauce cups, oatmeal packets (all you need is hot water from a rest stop) and low-sodium, low-fat jerky. Pack plenty of water, a healthier choice than soft drinks which will also keep you hydrated when sitting in the car for extended periods of time.

It’s possible for travelers to find healthy fare, no matter where they end up eating their meals. ♦ Find healthy fast food. If packing food is not an option, or if you just prefer the convenience of getting something along the way, you can still make informed choices. Opt for foods that are roughly 500 calories or less and boast plenty of protein and whole grains to help you feel full longer. You may not be able to enjoy low-sodium foods, as many fast-food options go heavy on the salt. Just steer clear

of extra condiments that only increase those already considerable sodium levels. Do not order sides of fries or chips, which will only make meals less healthy. Many fast food restaurants offer some healthy choices, such as grilled chicken sandwiches. Order such sandwiches plain or with extra lettuce and tomato for a healthy crunch, and choose whole-wheat buns when
possible. Also, avoid sugary sodas. Kids’ meals tend to have healthy portion sizes. If possible, purchase a kid’s meal and opt for a side of sliced apples or another healthy alternative. ♦ Make smart choices at sit-down restaurants, too. It’s important to stay focused on healthy fare even when you pull off the highway and patronize more traditional sit-down restaurants. Again, think smaller portions. Consider splitting an entrée with another person in your traveling party. Some chains will offer the nutritional information right on the menu, or put a special symbol next to their healthiest offerings. Substitute steamed vegetables in place of starchy or fattening side dishes and always ask for sauces to be served on the side. It’s not always easy to eat healthy when traveling, but travelers can often find healthy food, even if they need to bring it along themselves. – Metro Creative

epetitive stress injuries, or
The elderly are most effected by RSIs, but these type of injuries are also known to occur in younger adults and children.
RSIs, can impact muscles, ligaments, tendons and
nerves.
Though The Mayo Clinic estimates that 3 million people in the U.S. are effected by such injuries, some may not fully understand just how they reached a point where they are suffering from an RSI. RSIs are conditions that occur when too much stress is placed on one part of the body, typically a joint, over and over again, resulting in inflammation and potential tissue damage. The elderly are most affected by RSIs, but these types of injuries are also known to occur in younger adults and children. These injuries tend to develop over time and go unnoticed in their early stages. Prevention is the best defense against RSIs. Start by using proper equipment at all times to help keep the body protected and in neutral positions. Such equipment may include support devices for wrists or knees, and shoes that fit well and provide ample support. Athletes should make sure their gear is properly sized to their bodies. Using the wrong size tennis racket, for example, may contribute to elbow strain when serving and hitting.

Repetitive stress injuries (RSI) can occur when too much stress is placed on one part of the body. Proper nutrition also is key. Consuming the right foods is essential to developing and maintaining strong muscles, which helps support joints in the body. Speak with a doctor or nutritionist if you suspect your diet has room for improvement. RSIs can also be troublesome for office workers. Maintaining neutral body positioning is the best defense against
pain and injury, according to the pain prevention resource Tifaq.com. Tifaq.com suggests following these procedures in addition to stretching and exercising at the office: ♦ Keep your head level, forward facing and in line with your torso. ♦ Feet should be flat on the floor or on a footrest. ♦ Shoulders can be relaxed with arms
hanging normally at your sides. Your elbows should be at about 90-degree angles. ♦ Support your back with a lumbar support or a small pillow. ♦ Sit vertically or lean back slightly while at your desk. ♦ Keep frequently-used items close by, so you do not need to stretch. ♦ Position your monitor directly in front of you and at eye level. ♦ Take frequent breaks to stretch or take a walk around the office. Examples of RSIs include carpal tunnel syndrome, rotator cuff injuries, tendonitis and trigger finger. Always consult with a doctor if pain from routine activities is persistent. Individuals may benefit from working with a physical therapist to learn strategies to avoid RSI inducing activities. – Metro Creative

Anemia is not always a part of aging
A
ging is accompanied by a number of physical changes.
Some of these changes, such as vision impairment or loss of hearing, are anticipated, while others may arrive unexpectedly. One condition many adults unexpectedly encounter is anemia. While anemia is common in older adults, and its prevalence increases with age, it is not a condition that is widely considered part of the aging process. Anemia is often a symptom of a hidden problem that would need to be addressed promptly. One of the most common blood disorders, anemia effects more than 3 million Americans, according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. The American Society of Hematology notes that insufficient levels of red blood cells in the blood characterize anemia. Anemia also occurs when red blood cells, which are responsible for carrying oxygen to the various organs and tissues throughout the body, are not functioning properly. Very often, the signs of anemia are overlooked or go unnoticed until a blood test

Anemia is not usually discovered unless a blood test is ordered. Its symptoms can mimic other conditions. determines low hemoglobin (Hb) or hematocrit (HCT) concentrations. Some people discover they have anemia as they attempt to donate blood, at which time their red blood cell count
is found to be inadequate. When the body lacks oxygen, any number of the following symptoms may be experienced, including weakness, dizziness, extreme fatigue, shortness
of breath, fast or irregular heartbeat, pale or yellow skin and cold hands or feet. Frequently, existing disorders or conditions, such as congestive heart failure, are made worse by anemia, but unless doctors specifically consider anemia as a possible cause of symptoms, its presence can go undiagnosed. The American Academy of Family Physicians says the most common causes of anemia among older men and women include chronic diseases and iron deficiency. Vitamin B12 deficiency, folate deficiency, gastrointestinal bleeding and myelodysplastic syndrome are other causes of anemia. The main way to treat anemia is to discover its source and reverse the outcomes. For instance, a gastrointestinal bleed may need to be repaired. If iron deficiency is the source of the anemia, iron supplements may be prescribed. Many methods to correct anemia involve trial and error and experimentation, especially when the source of the anemia is unknown. Anemia is a condition that can affect aging adults, but does not need to be accepted as a natural consequence of aging. Correct diagnosis and treatment can mitigate symptoms. – Metro Creative
Cancer-related fatalities on the decline
C
ancer is a word that no person ever wants to hear in their lifetime, but millions of people
are affected by cancer every year. Although a cancer diagnosis may be met with anger, sadness or denial, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. The American Cancer Society states that the rate of death
from cancer in the U.S. is continuing to decline among both men and women. Many types of cancer, including cancers of the breast, colon, prostate and lung, are also in decline among all major racial and ethnic groups. Things look promising across the globe as well. An international consortium of researchers led by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation conducted their own research, which was published in 2013. The findings indicated the death rates from cancer have
been falling in many countries. Over a period of 23 years, age-standardized death rates for all cancers fell in 126 out of 188 countries. In the U.S., the number of cancer-related deaths varies greatly based on geography. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, Utah has the fewest number of cancer fatalities. The southern U.S., namely Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama, have the highest rates of cancer deaths. Researchers surmise the differences in cancer incidence and
deaths rates between states are largely due to behavioral, environmental and socioeconomic factors. While cancer rates may be increasing globally, cancer sufferers and their loved ones should know that more and more people are beating the disease. Prevention education, ongoing research and newly developed treatments are helping in the continued fight against cancer. – Metro Creative

Boosting your energy levels at the office
M
aintaining energy throughout the workday can sometimes be difficult
for busy professionals, and compromised energy levels can be especially problematic, causing workers to fall behind and maybe even forcing them to work extra hours just to catch up. While infrequent days of low energy should not pose too great a threat, working professionals who routinely find their energy levels sagging by the end of the workday might want to take certain steps to boost their energy and ensure their productivity doesn’t wane. ♦ Make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Failing to get adequate sleep can have an adverse impact on your career. According to Harvard Medical School’s Division of Sleep Medicine, failure to get enough sleep, even for just one night, can impair a person’s ability to function by effecting their ability to focus and access high-level cognitive functions. A panel of experts from sleep, anatomy, physiology, pediatrics, neurology, gerontology and gynecology, convened by the National Sleep Foundation in 2015, recommended adults between the ages of 26 and 64 get between seven and nine hours of sleep per night. Make a concerted effort to get more sleep if you’re falling short of
those recommended guidelines. ♦ Eat a productivity-friendly lunch. If afternoons are when your productivity really starts to drop off, it might be time to reconsider what you eat for lunch. The body, which converts the foods we eat into glucose that energizes our brains and promotes alertness, processes different types of foods differently. For example, eating pasta provides a quick burst of energy, because pasta releases glucose quickly. However, that burst is often followed by a noticeable downturn in energy levels, sparked by fading glucose levels making it difficult for the brain to focus. In contrast, fruits and vegetables aid
in the production of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that helps the brain stay motivated and engaged. Including some fruits and vegetables in your lunch or snacks may lead to a more productive workday. ♦ Squeeze in a midday workout. Numerous studies have shown the many benefits of daily exercise, but professionals may not know that exercise can help improve their productivity at the office. A 2005 study, from researchers at the then-named Leeds Metropolitan University in England, asked 200 workers to answer questions regarding their productivity on days when they exercised at lunchtime and days when
they did not exercise. Of the participants, 60 percent said their job performance, including their ability to meet deadlines and manage time, improved by a considerable amount on the days when they exercised. ♦ Limit caffeine consumption. According to the Mayo Clinic, consuming more than 500 to 600 milligrams of caffeine per day can contribute to insomnia and lead to feelings of nervousness, restlessness and irritability. While that afternoon cup of coffee might provide an immediate jolt, it could be contributing to sleeping problems that will effect your productivity later. – Metro Creative

Looking, feeling your best all summer long AMY SCHRADER
S
ummer calls for sun-kissed skin, a healthy glow and fresh, light makeup that won’t melt off your
face in the heat. You don’t have to spend hours in the sun to achieve the luminous, beach-going look you love, and there are a few cosmetic services that can have you looking and feeling like a summer goddess. Tans2You is a mobile sunless tanning service, located in Discovery Bay, which provides spray tans in the convenience and privacy of your home or office. “The convenience of tanning in your home offers added privacy and makes it a much more personalized tanning experience,” said Katie Ramsey, owner of Tans2You. Ramsey brings a pop-up tent in an overthe-shoulder bag, an extraction fan and all of her tanning supplies in one rolling bag. The entire process, from setting up to tanning a client and leaving the home, takes approximately 30 minutes. “I liked not (having) to go out in public with my loose and frumpy clothes, without makeup, to get a tan,” said Oakley resident and Tans2You customer Stacey Pharris. “It’s way more comfortable being able to stay at home for the whole process.”
Besides the convenience, customers love the results. Ramsey is not only a master certified spray technician, but also a licensed cosmetologist, who researched and studied different product lines before she chose Norvell. “Norvell has been in the spray tanning industry since 1983 and has continued to develop their solutions since that time,” said Ramsey. “They were the first to invent a violetbased product that is beautiful when sprayed on the skin.” Customers can choose between Venetian, Venetian one, clear plus or competition blackout skin shades. The Venetian is a combination of violet- and brown-tone bronzers designed to mimic skin tones found on the beaches of the European Riviera. Venetian one is similar to the Venetian, but includes a rapid-rinse formula, which allows clients to rinse their skin sooner. Clear plus is perfect for those who want to tan during their lunch hour, without it being noticeable. Competition black out was designed for bodybuilders, fitness models and competitors. “I got an instant dose of color all over, then over the next several hours, the color got richer,” said Pharris. “It wasn’t orange at all, but the perfect sun-kissed tan.” The tan lasts approximately five to seven days, but can last longer with the use of tanextending products, such as daily moisturizers that contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA).

Katie Ramsey, owner of Tans2You, offers mobile sunless tanning in the privacy of your own home or office. Besides sunless tanning, there are several cosmetic services that can give you a fresh-looking face, without the worry of makeup melting in the heat. Brentwood’s Blinks and Brows is a beauty boutique and skincare center that has
services for bold brows and lush lashes, as well as the application of permanent cosmetics. Rather than have to worry about melting mascara, eyelash extensions are a great way to make your eyes pop in a unique way. At Blinks and Brows, each synthetic eyelash is applied to a natural lash, which not only looks and feels natural, but also gives you an effortless and beautiful summer look. Besides eyelashes, the beauty boutique offers brow threading and waxing, tints, eyebrow extensions and cosmetic tattoos. “Cosmetic tattoos can be as little or as much as you’d like and can appear completely natural or resemble makeup,” said Blinks and Brows owner Michelle Short. Common cosmetic tattoos include lip tattoos, which can add a little extra color and return the natural glow to your lips, and eyebrow tattoos, which can balance your face and bring symmetry with intricate brush strokes. Blinks and Brows is located at 1185 2nd Street, Suite D, in Brentwood. For more information, visit www.blinksandbrows.com or call 925-308-4368. Tans2You offers limited, in-salon services at The Classy Cottage, 818 1st Street in Brentwood, by appointment only. For more information, visit www.tans2you.com, call 925-785-0164, or email katie@tans2you.com. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE.

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 800- 280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-16- 703533-BF . 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. 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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations. QUALITY MAY BE CONSIDERED A DEBT COLLECTOR ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT AND ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. NBS Default Services, LLC, as the duly appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded 03/- 19/2008 as Document No.: 2008-0058920-00, of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Contra Costa County, California, executed by: JOSE LUIS ARRIAGA, A MARRIED MAN AS HIS SOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY, as Trustor, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH (payable in full at time of sale by cash, a cashier’s check drawn by a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state). All right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and state, and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust. Sale Date & Time: 06/- 21/2016 at 09:00 AM Sale Location: At the north side of the Pittsburg Civic Center near the grass located at 65 Civic Avenue, Pittsburg, CA 94565 The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 2132 MONTOYA COURT, PITTSBURG, CA 94565 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made in an “AS IS” condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to- wit: $494,992.35 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. 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, (800)
758-8052 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site, www.homesearch.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9948-0502. 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. 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.

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 this property.

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.
