Local teen draws fan following by Samie Hartley Staff Writer When Hunter Phillips gets bored in class, he draws to keep himself occupied. However, the Bristow Middle School seventh-grader’s work is more than random doodles. At 13, Hunter already has more than two dozen videos to his name on YouTube. He uses his sketches as blueprints for claymation shorts that he films and edits himself through stop-motion photography. He designs the sets and props, records the voice-over to give his characters personality, and molds each character out of clay. It’s been one of Hunter’s hobbies since the third grade, so after years of practice, he’s comfortable sharing his work with millions of YouTube viewers. He has attracted 38 YouTube subscribers, and some of his videos have been viewed more than 100 times since he joined the site a year ago. “I don’t want to be famous or anything,” Hunter said. “Well, it’d be cool to be well known, but that’s not what it’s about. I want people to enjoy my art. I like my clay animation to be just like I picture it in my head. It has to be just right, because if I don’t like it, then why would anyone else enjoy it?” Hunter, whose YouTube username is alphastick108, said he pays attention to the ratings he receives on the Web site and revises

some of his videos if people don’t like them. He’s alert to the success of his videos and is already working on shaping his reputation in the YouTube community as well as the art world. For links to Hunter’s videos, visit thepress.net. He’s most proud of his video “The Unlucky Farmer,” about a man who’s attacked by the turkey he captured for Thanksgiving dinner. As Hunter describes the fight sequence between the farmer and the bird, he moves his fists in the air to illustrate the battle: “It’s exaggerated, but it’s funny.” While his videos range from 30 seconds to three minutes, Hunter said one of his goals this summer is to create a 30-minute feature. “I’ve sketched out a story, but now I’m focused on filling in the actions,” Hunter said. “I like action and battles. It’s fun.” Hunter takes his art seriously and is constantly looking for places to improve. While he started drawing in preschool, his work from kindergarten makes him cringe. “The stuff I did in kindergarten – I thought it sucked. It was just horrible, really awful, but my mom told me she liked it and encouraged me to keep trying. I get my talent from her, and she’s been very encouraging. My mom and dad are always there to help me get where I want to go. They’ve been very supportive.” Scott Phillips, Hunter’s dad, who

doesn’t possess his son’s artistic talents, said he’s impressed with Hunter’s skills. “He’s so talented. At 13, it’s more than amazing. He’s got a gift. He’s able to talk with Bill Weber, the local artist who does murals around town, and talk with him on a professional level about the technical aspects. It’s amazing.” Hunter said his parents’ support encourages him to try new things. Claymation is just one of Hunter’s interests. He also likes to use his sketches as inspiration for comic books, and he recently started drawing comic strips. “I looked through the local newspaper, but there weren’t any comics, and I thought that was something that was missing, so I thought I’d just do it myself.” For inspiration for a strip, he looked to his four-legged friends Rex and Schnitzel, his pet Dachshunds. “I really like my dogs and I watch what they do to get ideas,” Hunter said. “Schnitzel eats everything. He’s lumpy and likes to sleep a lot. He’s always eating Rex’s food. But Rex is kinda weird because he likes to eat flies, and sometimes he just sits there and looks up

Cultivating a culture of belonging by Rick Lemyre Staff Writer For Dan Sturdivant, the mission of Kaleidoscope is as simple as it is powerful. “It’s about belonging,” said Sturdivant, pastor of the Byron United Methodist Church, through which Kaleidoscope offers support for people living with cancer. “It’s about letting people know that there is a place for them in the world. They matter. Their suffering matters.” Surdivant hopes to get that message out to as many East County residents as possible when the 6-year-old, volunteerdriven organization holds its annual Kaleidoscope Sunday this weekend. As in previous years, the event is open to people of all faiths, and will feature music, guest speakers and ways to connect with all that Kaleidoscope offers. And those offerings are growing. The organization was originally set up to provide Bags of Hope – colorful gifts bags filled with personally selected items meant to brighten the day of those dealing with cancer – as well as the personal contact that delivering the bags facilitated. Since its inception, Kaleidoscope has expanded its services to include group-support sessions for cancer patients and care givers, a Krockpot Brigade that delivers home-cooked meals, a freezer food program to provide meals later on, an organic garden that provides fresh vegetables and flowers (and, for those who work the soil, an opportunity for nurturing) and a yet-to-be-named service of spontaneous food deliveries to folks in need. Last week, a second group of Stephen Ministers (lay counselors) was certified, making it possible to provide even more people the comfort and support of an attentive ear. “It’s far more than I could ever have imagined,” said Kaleidoscope founder and two-time cancer survivor Jan Page. The fact that it’s all accomplished by volunteers makes it all the more special. “They do things so well … If this was a paid

All are welcome. organization, I think people would be impressed.” To De Page, Jan’s husband, the remarkable thing is that the offerings have been created spontaneously by the volunteers. “All these parts have sprung up from these people’s desire to do something, something that they like to do” and wanted to pass on to others, he said. For Sturdivant, however, the essence of Kaleidoscope can be most easily seen in the support groups he helps run. Participants are all suffering from the devastating effects of the disease, which completely changes the lives of those it touches. “Cancer comes into someone’s life and everything explodes,” he said. “It atomizes families; your old life is no more.” Even lifelong friends can become estranged, simply because they can’t understand and can’t help. “They can’t do anything, so they don’t come around,” he said. “You become isolated.”

In the warm surroundings of the support groups, however, that isolation eases. “There are tears, anger, rage, disappointment, fear” expressed at the sessions, he said. It helps people connect with each other, which in turn helps them deal more effectively with what they’re going through. “By admitting things to others, and to themselves, you get little pieces of the story that weren’t available before.” Although the groups have a basic structure and get a nudge from Sturdivant when one is needed, for the most part they are self-guided, allowing participants to focus on what will help them most. And as they help themselves, they help the others in the room as well. Sturdivant recalled one member who later said he had planned to commit suicide, but didn’t because there were people in Kaleidoscope who loved him and needed him. “He said, ‘I’m dying and I’m scared to death,’” Surdivant said. The admission “gave him a lot of authority.” Despite his having entered the group as a lifelong loner, “He’s found friends.” About half the people in the three support groups are caregivers rather than cancer patients. Their suffering can often be as bad or worse than that of their loved ones, Sturdivant said, as their entire life is disrupted to provide care. Should the cancer win out, there’s another drastic change, as everything the caregiver has focused on, possibly for years, is suddenly no longer there. Often, though, their involvement with Kaleidoscope continues, as their own healing progresses. “They learn that one of the best ways to heal is to help someone else heal,” he said. “They find out that they, and what they’ve gone through, matters.” Kaleidoscope Sunday starts at 9:30 a.m. this Sunday at Byron United Methodist Church, 14671 Byron Highway. Everyone is welcome, and one’s faith doesn’t matter. “All you have to be,” said Sturdivant, “is interested.” For more information, call 925-634-1411.

Brentwood bucks tax trend The City of Brentwood bucked a countywide trend in the fourth quarter of last year, managing to post a 2-percent gain in sales tax revenue over the same period in 2007. Data recently released for the period covering October to December, 2008 showed that Brentwood was one of only two cities in Contra Costa County to post gains in sales tax. Topping the field of 19 cities was Orinda, which managed 8.5-percent growth. “This is even more impressive considering the ongoing severity of the recession,” Brentwood Business Services Manager Kerry Breen said in a press release. “The state’s sales tax revenue was down (13 percent), the nine-county Bay Area was down (12 percent), Contra Costa County was down (14 percent), and neighboring cities of Antioch (18 percent), Pittsburg (19 percent) and Oakley (20 percent) were also down. According to Breen, the primary factor contributing to Brentwood’s strong sales data was the opening of the Streets of Brentwood Lifestyle Center. The center opened on Oct. 24, and despite missing nearly a month from the October-through-December quarter, contributed enough to make up for lost sales tax revenues in other areas. Without the Streets project, Brentwood’s sales tax revenue would have declined 10 percent. “It indeed was encouraging to receive a positive in our sales tax revenue,” said Mayor Bob Taylor. “The Streets of Brentwood are proving to be an asset to the community and the residents are shopping and buying locally. It is quite a message for our community: build it and they will come.”

They appear to be little more than dilapidated, boarded-up hovels, a collection of sub-standard dwellings that will soon be demolished by the City of Brentwood. But within the relics lining the bank of Marsh Creek behind Los Mexicanos Market lie the memories of an era of generosity that highlights the community spirit seen in town today. More than 80 years ago, people driven west by the Great Depression and the Dustbowl began to settle in Brentwood, setting up camps wherever they found stable ground. O.R. Davis was one of them, arriving with his wife Ruth and establishing what would become known as Davis Camp near a dump site at what is now the corner of Brentwood Boulevard and Sunset Road. The land the Davises squatted on was actually owned by the county, but according to local historian Kathy Leighton, the county sold the land to Davis for a minimal fee in exchange for his pledge to keep the area clean. Davis used materials from the dump such as wood and cardboard to create temporary shelters. After a few years, Davis, known as “Cal” to his friends, sent word to his family in Oklahoma that there was work in Brentwood and urged his relatives to join him in California, where they could make a living picking fruit. During the height of the Great Depression in the early 1930s, thousands of people

began to move west to escape the poverty of the Dustbowl. People often asked to stay on Davis’ property, and he’d let families stay as long as they needed to. Some families paid rent, but Davis didn’t pressure those who couldn’t afford it. People came and went with the changing of the seasons, but many made Davis Camp their permanent California residence. By 1934, nearly 1,000 people resided at Davis Camp. The huge population forced Davis to quit his work in the fields. He built a shed to store food and supplies for the families to share, and eventually the shed became the Da-

vis Log Cabin Grocery, which is now presentday Los Mexicanos Market. Despite running the market, Davis wasn’t a wealthy man. He invested all his earnings to build more shelters and gather supplies to help the families living on his property. “Cal Davis didn’t do it for the money,” Leighton said. “He did it out of the goodness of his heart. He left a wonderful legacy of generosity. Of all the people I’ve interviewed about Davis Camp, I haven’t heard a bad thing about him. Everyone speaks so highly see Davis Camp page 7A

NO PAWS LEFT BEHIND There are lots of “victims” in our current real estate market. Homeowners upsidedown in their homes and facing foreclosure, renters losing their deposits after their landlord loses their home, declining property values which hurts most everyone, reduced tax collections, etc. But there is another group that you don’t often hear about – the pets left behind at vacant properties. When you’ve just lost your home, it’s hard enough to find a rental because of your marred credit report. And then if you have pets, that makes it even harder. So the solution that many people resort to is to just abandon the pets as they pack up and leave. And sometimes they leave them locked up in the house with no food or water. Other times they just turn them loose on the streets. If you are in a situation where you have pets that are unwanted, and don’t have a friend or relative to take them, please don’t abandon them, there is another option.

of him. He left footprints on the hearts of all those families he helped.” Jack Harrison agrees. The 75-year-old Brentwood resident arrived in town with his parents and seven brothers and sisters in 1939 when he was 6. He lived there briefly before moving on but returned to the camp as a teenager in the 1940s. Harrison said he knew Davis and remembers him for his kindness. “He was a big ol’ kindly gentleman,” Harrison said. “He helped a lot of people get by when they first came to this area. He was a hardworking man. No one had a lot of money in those days, but he gave people a place to stay.” Like most folks at Davis Camp in 1939, Harrison lived in a tent. He said it wasn’t a

fun way to live, and the cold of winter was the hardest part of the experience. It was worse when it rained. There was no flood control in those days and neighboring Marsh Creek often overflowed onto the Davis Camp property, displacing residents until the water subsided. “It’d rain and flood us out, but we’d just mop it up and move back in,” Harrison recalled. “Half the town was flooded, so there wasn’t anywhere else to go.” When Harrison returned years later, his family moved into one of the houses that Davis built. Harrison said the structure, featuring indoor plumbing and an icebox, was an immense improvement on the previous shelter. He said there was never time to be bored

Tough Dawg top dog at Battle of Bands by Elysia Cook Correspondent

The stage was a battlefield and the musicians were soldiers at Heritage High’s second annual Battle of the Bands competition on April 17. Armed with weapons ranging from guitars to drumsticks to harmonica, the contestants faced off in hopes of being named top band. In the end, the band Tough Dawg Action Figures hit a high note with the attendees of the event and won the title. The bands The Undecided and Déjà Blue took home the second and third place titles. “We’re satisfied for the time being,” said Matt Milam, bassist for Tough Dawg Action Figures. “We’re just waiting for our world-domination plans to be finished.” The best part, he added, was “knowing that our blood, sweat and tears actually amounted to something in the end!” Seventeen bands auditioned for the popular event, which made its debut last year, but only eight made it to the live competition held on the campus green. In addition to the top three finishers, the other bands that performed were Dub Soul Free, Optimus Primus, Sea Bass and His Trout, Depravation, and You’ve Never Heard of Them. “There were so many good bands that auditioned this year,” said Leadership student and event coordinator April Ochoa. “It was hard to choose.” “We had a lot more bands than last

fiercer than ever at this year’s contest. After the performances, audience members voted for their favorite bands using their tickets as ballots. While the method of determining the winner stayed the same, coordinators changed the venue this year. The competition was held on the campus green, and performers basked in the sunlight as well

as the limelight on a stage provided by Brentwood Parks and Recreation. “We’re granted with an amphitheater that we don’t take advantage of enough,” Leadership advisor Denise Corrado said, referring to the layout of the green. “We wanted it to have a concert atmosphere,” added Ordaz. “Overall, it was a success because a lot of people enjoyed being outside. It gives people a chance to yell and have fun.” Technical difficulties delayed the performances, cutting the amount of time granted to each band from 10 minutes to the length of only one song. “The technical difficulties were due to the electric current in the school,” Ordaz said. “However, next year we will eliminate any problems.” The quality of the music, however, was enough to suffice for the lack of time. “The other bands were good, especially Dub Soul Free and Depravation,” said Tough Dawg Action Figure vocalist and guitarist Michael Estrada. Last year’s winning band, Dissimulated, also made a guest appearance and performed an original song entitled “Perennial Progeny” while the votes were tallied. “All of the bands were pretty well put together,” Dissimulated band member Taylor Elsasser said. “They (Tough Dawg Action Figures) deserved to win. They had good energy and stage presence, and that’s what gets people into the music.”

It’s a Matter of Law By Barbara A. Frantz

A NEW ECONOMY – THANK GOODNESS…OR IT’S ALL IN MY ATTITUDE Last month I referred to the Country experiencing a new economy rather than a recession or depression. I believe that this is not “market spin” but a wake up call for small business owners not to hesitate to capture new markets quickly and efficiently. My dad always said, Barbara, make sure you are always ready for opportunity when it presents itself.” Now is the time to find out about the details of stimulus packages, new rules for bank financing and credit, and the profile of your “new customer.” To be ready, your business must be in order. While 15% of the success of your business is based on your technical expertise, 85% is based on the proper execution of the details of offering your product or services. Susie Carder, President of One Coach, discusses twelve points to positioning your business for growth, even in this economy. For details, write Susie at Susie.carder@onecoach.com. This month I cover Points 2 through 4. Point 2: Staff Productivity. Truly, everyone in your company, including the receptionist can contribute to sales and promotion. There should be job descriptions for every person who works for you. Quantify each employee’s expected results. For example, a receptionist might be measured against the number of phone calls that he/she answers that turn into sales. Although that person may not ultimately close the sale, the manner in which a potential customer is introduced to your company for the first time is critical. Talking about sales will increases sales. Reporting on sales can increase them by three times. Point 3: Staff Management. Prepare a development plan for each employee’s growth

within your company. Provide them with reviews monthly, quarterly and yearly. A boss should be the “human highlighter” for an employee’s growth to the next level in business. Don’t baby sit your staff. Rather hold them accountable. By doing this, you are honoring the human spirit, since each person has a contribution to make. Point 4: Recruitment. Successful businesses are always recruiting amazing people. If you are going to work “on” your business instead of “in” your business, you will need individuals who play at what you have to work at. For me it’s accounting. You do not want to be placing ads when you’re desperate. I recommend that you remain patient. One way to feel overwhelmed is to expect immediate results. Another pitfall is to take extreme actions. It is easier on everyone to cut two people’s hours than to lay one person off. Your employees understand that there has been a significant shift in the economy that requires significant changes in how we all do business.

Union-only agreement will cost taxpayers by Kevin Dayton Your Brentwood City Council plans to build a $75 million local government complex. The prospect of an expensive public works project at a time when the economic outlook is grim has brought powerful special interest groups to town. Construction union officials have left their established bases of power at the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors and the Richmond City Council. With backing from some of the UEST Bay Area’s most powerful regionCOMMENT al politicians, they’ve swooped down on the City of Brentwood with some clever proposals to gain a union monopoly on $75 million worth of taxpayer-funded construction. Big-time metropolitan politics has arrived in Brentwood, and the City Council has been caught unprepared. On March 24, the council actually allowed a consultant for a unionized construction management firm and a lawyer who negotiates labor union agreements to sit at their dais

and advocate for a special agreement to be negotiated with construction unions for the civic center complex. The labor agreement sounded nice – after all, none of these very interested outside parties had anything bad to say about it – and so the council voted 4-1 to spend up to $20,000 for the lawyer to write an alleged “study” to support it. What the council regrettably initiated was a local fight over the most contentious and controversial issue in the construction industry: local governments mandating their construction contractors to sign a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) with unions as a condition of working on a public-works project. PLAs are the primary political tactic of construction unions to undercut their non-union competition and raise costs of construction for their benefit. It’s a reasonable question to ask how a PLA undercuts competition, considering that all contractors – both union and non-union – will have to pay generous state-mandated prevailing wages to all workers on the civic center project. One provision in PLAs compels non-union contractors to pay their employees’ health and pension benefits to union trust funds instead of the company’s own benefit plan. At the conclusion of the project, the benefit payments are

LETTERS Orchestrated mudslinging

Editor: As a Discovery Bay resident who regularly attends CSD meetings, I found Don Flint’s letter last week to be disingenuous and another attempt to purposely mislead your readers regarding the leadership of David and Mary Piepho. Discovery Bay residents should be aware that Mr. Flint’s letter, as well as a few others that appear here, are nothing more than an orchestrated effort to tarnish the reputations of the Piephos. What Mr. Flint may not know is that I possess a document with this specific goal outlined and his name is prominently listed as a member of the group that repeatedly publishes deceptive and misleading criticism. This document was produced by none other than Bill Richardson, which I will make available to anyone interested

in seeing it for themselves, as a matter of actual fact, the press has these documents, but appear to be in cahoots with this group and have never shown it to the public. Mr. Flint hopes that by spreading the mudslinging around his group, readers will not connect the dots and believe that these are random letters from the community. I assure you, they are everything but random. They are an orchestrated attempt to sabotage any political aspirations of David and Mary Piepho. Case in point: Mr. Flint attempted to falsely blame the Piephos for what amounted to a deflection of what he and his group were attempting to slip by at a recent CSD meeting. This group wanted to conduct an action of “cronyism” by sending a letter supporting Walter McVittie without interviewing or evening knowing who else had applied for the position. Thank goodness Mr. Piepho interjected common sense into the debate and the entire board followed his advice. It remains my hope that the majority of your readership has already figured this out.

Cuts put public safety at risk

Editor: I have been informed of the recent decisions surrounding the county budget, and the impacts to both the Office of the District Attorney and the Office of the Sheriff. Just as I commented on the lack of viability in considering the Transitional Prison in Antioch when this was being deliberated, I want to make it clear that reducing the budgets of the DA and the sheriff, while also not looking at building

permanently lost to the unions unless the employees remain in the unions. This might be convenient for the underfunded union pension plans, but it is unfair to the employees. A non-union contractor who agreed to this scheme would have to pay benefits both to the union and to its own benefit plans – thus doubling the substantial costs of providing benefits. Who wants to bid under those conditions? Another provision contained in PLAs is the requirement that all workers join the union through the payment of union initiation fees and dues. The choice for the non-union worker: pay up or go elsewhere for work. No local government that cares about fiscal responsibility would adopt an unnecessary requirement for its contractors to sign a union agreement. Most local governments in California want to maximize the number of capable and responsible bidders, regardless of whether or not their employees chose to belong to a union. It’s not a coincidence that in the early 2000s, the first three school districts in the Bay Area to require contractors see Agreement page 18A

greater efficiencies in county operations, is completely unacceptable. Antioch, as one of the largest communities in the county, has faced an alarming increase in the numbers and types of crimes committed since 2000. While the city has had many challenges, there has been a tremendous effort on the part of Antioch public safety personnel to arrest and deter those engaged in criminal activity. In fact, the Antioch police have had an unfair burden placed on them, as the calls for service and types of crimes committed have coincided with county actions placing additional Section 8 housing allocations in Antioch (general public opinion is that the correlation between heavy Section 8 allocations and increasing crime is more than a mere coincidence). The widely disseminated memo attributed to DA Kochly sets a very dangerous precedent in that it informs the criminal element which types of offenses will be prosecuted and which ones will not. As a civilized society, we cannot allow this to happen. All citizens deserve to be safe and go about their business knowing that criminal and violent activity perpetrated in the community will not be tolerated and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I would ask that you pursue this issue on three separate yet related courses of action: 1. Do not reduce the respective budget allocations to these two departments. These departments have such a direct linkage to the core of our quality of life that reducing their operational abilities will have a direct impact on various issues, including crime rates, economic development

efforts and associated tax-base growth, rates of recovery on real estate investments and sales, providing a safe environment in which to educate our youngsters, and our image as a family-friendly place in which to raise children. 2. Establish a process immediately to review efficiencies of the Office of the District Attorney and the sheriff. In the past, they have done much correctly and efficiently. What else can be done to meet the needs of the communities with the resources they have to work with? When private enterprise faces similar difficult decisions, the last question addressed is how to get more resources from the various funding sources. Often companies have to develop more efficient ways of doing business, not take the path of least resistance and ask for more resources to essentially stay in business. In fact, boards of directors will often demand that additional efficiencies are explored and implemented before additional resources are allocated. 3. You must address any ongoing negotiations with employee groups in the context of these dire budget conditions. Open, issue-based negotiations, if employed properly, will yield far more fruitful results. Perhaps agreements regarding increases to salaries and benefits can be discussed now, but be enacted in more economically stable and abundant times. This issue has such a cascading effect on our communities that you need to act quickly, decisively and not take action that will have a lasting negative impact on our various cities. Public safety elements must be prioritized above almost every see Letters page 17A

Kid crooner hopes for Oprah springboard Staff Writer

Jordyn Foley may be only 9, but she has big dreams and the voice to go with them. The open-faced, bubbly and precocious fourth-grader plans to attend Julliard (or maybe NYU) before embarking on a major career as a star of stage and film, where she will – of course – become rich and oh-so famous. “I’ve always loved singing; it’s my passion,” said Jordyn, who attends Loma Vista Elementary School in Brentwood. “I really want to perform as my career; it’s my dream.” And as it turns out, her first step toward grabbing that dream might just lie with Oprah Winfrey. Thanks to a video that her mom Deena sent to Oprah’s Web site last year, Jordyn now ranks near the top among the thousands of children around the world competing for the title of The World’s Smartest and Most Talented Kid, the Oprahinspired annual talent contest. “I sent in Jordyn’s video last May and we heard from the show in September, asking us to come down and have Jordyn audition live for them,” said Deena. “The timing wasn’t quite right; we had some family things going on, so we had to say no.” Undeterred, producers called again in January, and this time their schedules meshed. The family was flown out to Chicago, where Jordyn wowed them with her rendition of “The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow” from “Annie.” To date, she is one of the top six finalists, chosen from a field of thousands of contestants. Jordyn performed the same winning song during a recent Press interview (see her performance on www.thepress.net) and there is little doubt the pint-sized singer is a major talent – a talent she comes by naturally. Jordyn was singing before she was talking. Despite no formal training, for the past few years she has been involved in a number of local musical theater productions and is currently in rehearsals for “The Sound of Music” at the El Campanil Theatre in Antioch, where she will be playing the youngest Von

Jordyn Foley, above with mom Deena, is a ﬁnalist in Oprah Winfrey’s The World’s Smartest and Talented Kid contest. Producers chose her video – among thousands of contestants’ – of a rendition of a song from “Annie.” To view a video of her performance, visit thepress.net. Trapp child, Gretel. Past performances include “Annie Junior,” “Pinocchio,” “The Emperor’s New Clothes” and a bit part in a local commercial (non-singing) touting safety along Vasco Road. She’s also looking forward to a non-singing acting part in an upcoming production of the “Miracle Worker” and has sent her idol Patty Duke, who starred in the original production, an invitation to see her show. “The girl just likes to perform,” says Deena, who has a

background in musical theater. “I’ve tried to be very careful with her. I want her to follow her dreams but not at the expense of everything else. I want it all to balance.” Jordyn’s grandmother Sharon just wants everyone to know about her gifted granddaughter. “She’s (Jordyn) a good girl,” she said. “She’s the kind of girl you would want for a friend. We’re all so proud of her. She has an amazing talent … I’m allowed to brag; that’s a Nana’s right.” Now it’s just a matter of waiting to see where it all leads her. Deena said Oprah’s producers have been fairly closed-mouthed about what the finalists and ultimate winner might receive in terms of prizes, but “they did say that the kids that are selected (for the final show) are in for the surprise of a lifetime,” said Deena. So what does Jordyn hope she might get from a coveted “Oprah bump”? “Well, I’d like some famous director to see me and give me a job,” said Jordyn. “I’ve been wanting an agent since I was 5 and my mom has always said no. But if I get this, I’m hoping she’ll say yes.” “She’s very driven and very focused,” agreed Deena. “I did promise her once that if she got a part in the national production of “Annie,” I would break down and get her an agent. She did actually get the part, but then when it came time to go, she had a growth spurt and lost the part. Maybe (she’ll get an agent soon) … we’ll see.” For now, it’s school (“Mom says education is the priority,” said Jordyn), local productions, friends and family time. “She’s just like any other little girl in a lot of ways,” said Deena. “She goes to school, plays with her friends, helps out in the community …” And continues to dream. “I haven’t been in a movie yet,” said Jordyn. “So that would be kind of fun.” But ever pragmatic, Jordyn says that if her first career choice (the fame and fortune one) doesn’t work out, she’ll be content to go with career choice No. 2. “If I can’t be a professional singer, I think I’d like to be a tornado chaser,” she said. “Have you seen those guys (on TV)? It would be a really cool job.”

Community lays Favorite Son to rest

Editor: Hundreds of friends, relatives and the movers and shakers from Brentwood filled the new chapel at St Anne in Byron Saturday afternoon to say farewell to local titan, Bill Bristow. And what a wonderful farewell it was. Much was said to honor the courageous, diminutive man who was such a powerhouse in the development of Brentwood and particularly in Brentwood’s education system. He was aptly described as a person who was a person’s person, whose even temper, infectious smile, genuine presence and soft words warmed his friends, made strangers welcome, disarmed his opponents and served him well to do the work he set out to do. He had undaunted hope, eternal optimism and unbelievable courage. He left a legacy that most of us could only envy and he left an indelible mark on our community. He was, I believe, the spirit of Brentwood.

As the ceremony came to its end and the pallbearers gathered alongside his casket, the pianist broke out a rousing rendition of “Seventy-six Trombones” from “The Music Man,” I could see a smiling Bill Bristow bowing and strutting, his baton punching us forward, a much smaller but more energetic Professor Harold Hill leading us in his last parade.

Agreement from page 14A to sign PLAs were three Bay Area school districts that have recently experienced state bailouts: West Contra Costa, Vallejo and Oakland. PLAs thrive where local governments are fiscally irresponsible and where voter accountability is low. Of course, as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably already guessed, PLAs are not about logic. They are about politics. Non-union public-works contractors have been fighting proposed PLAs in Northern California for 15 years, and behind every push for a union PLA is a local politician who dreams of union political support for a campaign for higher office. If the Brentwood City Council continues to contemplate the idea of a PLA for this civic center, federal and state legislators

and a wide variety of Bay Area local elected officials will begin intensely pressuring them on behalf of construction unions to vote for a PLA. Council meetings will be repeatedly packed with people from all over Northern California. This happens every time there is a divisive vote on a PLA. At stake is the degree of bid competition for a $75 million project paid for with your tax dollars. As a citizen of Brentwood, you need to speak out now to your City Council if you oppose further consideration of this Project Labor Agreement union scheme.

Davis Camp from page 7A during that time. When people weren’t working in the fields, there were plenty of people to interact with on the camp. One of his neighbors was the late Bill Bristow. “I had a lot of friends there,” Harrison said. “You build your life around your relationships with people, so we made a home there. Those houses were just as nice as anything else around, but some people looked down on us because we were poor. But we held our heads high. “No one had money in those days, so it didn’t matter if we lived at the camp. Everyone was broke. We were hardworking people, making an honest living – nothing to be ashamed about that.” Harrison said his time at Davis Camp

instilled the desire to give back to the community later in life. Today, Harrison owns Hair Encounter on Oak Street and still shows up for work two days a week. As the former residents of Davis Camp grow old, the memory of the Davis legacy begins to fade and eventually the remnants of the camp will be gone, too. According to Redevelopment and Housing Manager Gina Rozenski, families continued to live in 12 of the 18 houses on the Davis Camp property until 2007, when the city purchased the property. The city offered relocation services to the families living there because the houses were unsafe and not up to code. “The housing was substandard and deteriorating,” Rozenski said. “We were concerned

MAY 1, 2009

about the living conditions, not to mention the physical and economical blight caused by the state of the buildings, so we offered services to the residents living there to help them relocate, and we boarded up the properties.” The City of Brentwood plans to demolish what’s left of the camp this summer to make way for the expansion of Highway 4. Los Mexicanos Market will remain open for a few years while preparations are made for the expansion. Rozenski said the Davis Camp property is zoned for residential use, so people will live in that area again someday. While there are no plans to erect a memorial to Davis Camp, Rozenski said a plaque might be placed on the site to recognize the land’s historical significance.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING SCIORTINO RANCH PROJECT Notice is hereby given that the City Council of the City of Brentwood will, at 7:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the normal course of business permits on May 12, 2009, hold a public hearing to consider the following: An application for the 65-acre mixeduse Sciortino Ranch project, located directly east of the intersection of Sand Creek Road and Brentwood Boulevard (APN 016-170-012 and 016-170-013).

companies. The council approved up to $514,000 in design costs for the facility, although that figure could be less. It will be designed to about 50 percent of its final configuration, then return to the council for

another approval. Eldredge also said staff would evaluate possible phasing options to see if the new facility could be built smaller at first, putting off some of the expenses a few years until the full capacity is needed. The vote was 4-1, with Coun-

cilman Brandon Richey dissenting over the possibility that a plan to haul others’ trash might still be “floating around out there somewhere,” and concern that there wasn’t a need to spend money on the facility given the current economic climate.

we put our taxes into.” Ironically, while Davis and Taylor were criticizing the supervisors for cutting assistant district attorney positions due to funding shortfalls, both Antioch and Brentwood– due to funding shortfalls – have cut from their budgets a part-time assistant DA position to help prosecute crimes in those cities. Both mayors said they would like to reinstate the funding for that position, depending on what the county does. Kochly’s decision to continue prosecuting all crimes might be only temporary if in the next 120 days county officials can’t find or free up the $1.9 million it recently cut from his budget. Otherwise, he will be laying off six contracted assistant district attorneys along with 11 regular assistant DAs at the end of the year – and the limited-prosecution plan would take effect, perhaps in September. County Sheriff Warren Rupf, forced to cut nearly $10 million from his budget and lay off 25 deputies, told the supervisors that extra funding would not be found for the DA’s of-

fice due to the county’s ongoing obligations to provide generous benefits for current and retired county employees. “This problem cannot be solved in 120 days because it’s taken years to develop,” said Rupf. “In my opinion, this level of government has failed public safety by any definition. It has entered into employee contracts that have obligated itself to other things that are unaffordable. We, in a manner of speaking, are the General Motors of county government. We can’t afford to conduct our business; we can’t afford to deliver a product – and we look to Washington, D.C. to bail us out. “Unless we change the structure (of county employee benefits), we will not get a resolution. The unit cost of an employee (of the sheriff’s office) has caused us over the last six years to reduce the number of employees that we have. We need to get everyone engaged (in renegotiating employee salaries and benefits) and need to do it quickly. We are not just broke – we are broken.” The supervisors agreed that excessive

employee compensation packages are to blame, combined with the recent economic downturn that has reduced tax revenue. They said they are continuing to negotiate with the county unions to try to reduce the cost of employees. While the focus lately has been on cuts in the district attorney’s office, possibly resulting in reduced prosecutions, the county sheriff’s deputies are warning that cuts in their force will definitely reduce arrests. “If you’re not bleeding, don’t call 911 and expect the Deputy Sheriffs’ Office to respond quickly to your call,” said Jim Bickert, a deputy sheriff and president of the Contra Costa Deputy Sheriffs’ Association in a press release Tuesday. “Starting tonight, there will only be three patrol cars on graveyard; only four cars on the weekends to respond to evening calls.” He added that he fears that Contra Costa County will become known as the place criminals can get away with committing crimes if the supervisors don’t restore funding for sheriff’s deputies and assistant DAs.

New Weight Loss Treatment Sweeps Across The Nation And Now Released In Brentwood If are tired of “bootcamp” workouts, diet pills, appetite suppressants, fat blockers and all the other magic gimmicks and want a REAL solution to your stubborn weight problem… You may be about to make the most important and exciting discovery of your life in just a few moments. We feel we may have brought the most unique, newest, most realistic treatment that can help you if you have failed at everything and still can’t seem to lose weight or keep it off Brentwood, Ca – Dr. James Martin D.C. has had it with the diet and weight loss industry and is indeed exposing the diet and weight loss industry and helping guide you to what may be the most direct, fastest, effective and SAFE ways to lose the extra 5, 10, 45 or even 100 lbs. you’ve put on over the last few months or years. This local doctor has had so many of his patients doing everything under the sun to try and lose weight and failing miserably or succeeding at losing the weight only to have it return and then some, that he has just tired of seeing people victimized by these money sucking vampires that prey on innocent consumers at their weakest point. Yeah, they are waiting and salivating for YOU to make your oh so predictable and SHORT LIVED….you know….your weight loss goals that you will give up on way too quickly!! Some of you say it every year. This year I will lose the weight. Or for some of you it’s your first year to start the never-ending year after year HOPE that you will succeed at losing the unwanted and unsightly fat hanging around your belly or cottage cheese thighs. For some of you, you really want to lose the weight for the health benefit to avoid diabetes and heart disease associated with being overweight. Whatever your case may be, There is FINALLY HOPE! Dr. Martin isn’t going to be making any friends by giving you the following information (and has already had angry competitors complaining to various regulatory agencies trying to get him to stop advertising), but he is sick and tired of watching people devastated or even depressed by their weight gain and helpless feelings of despair when they fail time and time again. So…. IF you are reading this and you have tried it ALL already, and you really would like to lose the weight and succeed, then pay close attention. If you have tried counting points only to throw your calculator out the window, If you have embarrassed yourself enough with public and humiliating “weigh ins”, If you are tired

of mail order, microwaved and probably unhealthy food, If you are tired of silly “Hollywood” type diets, If you are sick of taking dangerous stimulant diet pills (yes, they are dangerous), If you are tired of starving yourself, If you have succeeded at losing the weight with any of these, BUT gained it ALL back with a few extra pounds you are in for the biggest breakthrough in weight loss Dr. Martin has ever seen. Dr. Martin believes the TRUE CAUSE of “Weight Loss Resistance Syndrome” is NOT in your mouth! My name is Dr. James Martin and No I’m not trying to be funny. Let me explain. This amazing discovery hit me like a ton of bricks and I wasn’t even looking! A while back, I was invited by a world famous doctor (now a good friend) who specialized in a non surgical, non invasive brain based treatment to help patients quickly and effectively lose weight, to bring my office staff to spend three days with him at his estate and he would train me and my staff on how to do this treatment. This world famous doctor did share with me that he had operated up to 38 weight loss centers at one time and had people losing up to HALF THEIR BODYWEIGHT and kept it off for years after receiving treatment at his centers. He showed me the before and after pictures and their stories….Dozens and dozens of them!! I was astounded!! I was so impressed that I had to try this new technology and treatment on my own patients to see if it really worked. I immediately started treatment on what I call the ULTIMATE COUCH POTATO! My mother in law had been through five back surgeries, can’t walk more than 3 houses on her block, can’t stand more than 10 minutes, can’t really do much of anything! She tried EVERYTHING! Popular Weight Loss Centers that do public weigh ins, mail order microwave foods, starvation, all kinds of diets, dangerous pills, you name it. And NO lasting results! She could NOT lose weight! She was severely depressed to the point of depression medication. I called

her to come into my office as I had what I called a breakthrough treatment to help her actually lose weight. She got a little excited as she could see how excited I was as I explained the treatment and she agreed to be my test subject. Well, she lost 36 pounds over 6 months doing NO EXERCISE, NO REAL ACTIVITY, NOT EVEN WALKING!! She can’t due to severe debilitating back and leg pain! I was SOLD! I watched a colleague lose over 90 pounds in just 22 weeks! It was amazing. So, great news for you. I am now releasing this new Doctor supervised brain based weight loss program for the first time ever in Brentwood. Imagine the feeling you get when you look good again, feel attractive, feel good about yourself. Imagine melting off the pounds quickly and easily without the hype and short lived results! I am so convinced that this program is so different than anything you’ve ever seen I am willing to guarantee it! If it isn’t, I’ll buy you lunch!

FREE DINNER WORKSHOP Dr. Martin D.C. and Dr. Leung N.D. will be discussing and demonstrating this exciting new non drug, non surgical weight loss technology and method to helping you lose real weight and inches quickly and safely. Seating is strictly limited to 35 due to space limitations. Call now to reserve your space for Thursday May7. Time: 6:30pm-7:15pm

The Hope vs. the Hype

akley’s Delta Diamonds 95 fast-pitch softball team recently went 5-0 to win its first USSSA tournament of the year in Fremont. The team’s never-die attitude prevailed, as it won three games in the bottom half of the last inning. The championship game was won as the Diamonds faced a two-out, three-run deficit in the bottom half of the final inning. Presley Carmignani hit a line drive up the middle to drive in Chelsea Montes and herself for the win. Coach Kaleialii said the girls did a fantastic job. “It sure is fun when you work real hard and then have something to show for that work at the end.” Delta Diamonds 95 players and coaches are Danielle Leones, Iniki Kaleialii, Alexis Kluever, Ashley Garcia, Brittany Duran, Chelsea Montes, Emily Leyva, Olive Paredes, Delany Weger, Presley Carmignani, Emily Greaff and coaches Tony Arrieta, Dan Kaleialii, Robert Garcia and Pat Morreira.

Officially announced on February 17th, 2009, by President Obama, the Home Affordable Refinance Program (“HARP”) is geared towards helping homeowners who have demonstrated an ‘acceptable payment history’ on their mortgage, but, have negative equity due to current market conditions. Under the new HARP program, homeowners with mortgages currently serviced by either Fannie Mae (“FNMA”) or Freddie Mac (“FHLMC”) may be able to refinance up to 105% of the current market value of their home, with either a lower monthly payment, or at least with a mortgage which will not vary as much as their current mortgage. Plus, if the homeowner contributed 20% or more as the original down payment, no mortgage insurance will be required on the 105% refinance. With much less stringent underwriting guidelines – such as only one paystub needed to verify income, or only one year’s tax return --, it will take time for lenders to become acclimated to the HARP refinance details. But at least more and more of them are becoming familiar with the requirements, and that’s a plus for homeowners who can qualify. However, with all of the hype behind this product, the investors who would actually be funding these loans (before they were then purchased by Fannie or

Freddie) are just now stepping up to the plate – 2 months after the President’s official announcement. Major lenders such as Wells Fargo and SunTrust mortgage (just to name a few) will only allow for a DU Refi Plus, or Freddie Mac Relief Refinance, if they are the current servicer of the note. In other words, regardless of the services, if the loan is backed by Fannie or Freddie, they will not allow you the opportunity to take advantage of the 105% loan-to-value refinance. *to see if your loan is held by Fannie Mae visit www.fanniemae.com and in your property address to see if a match was found. The silver lining behind this product is that more and more lenders are opening their ears and have begun to actively involve themselves with HARP, hoping to help more owners before the doors are shut forever on June 10, 2010. Overall the Fannie Mae DU Plus Refinance and Freddie Mac Relief Refinance Mortgage are great products that should be hyped up and fully taken advantage of! In the same breath however, it is fully the hope of the mortgage industry that these tools become available to a much broader audience in a much shorter period of time. As always, I welcome all questions and or concerns pertaining to real estate lending on my cell phone, 510-798-0060, or via email, tfreymortgages@yahoo.com. – Advertisement

The Patriots’ lanky senior struck out eight in five innings of quick work, preventing opposing batters from hitting a single ball to the outfield.

Padilla from page 1B Borland. Whatever was said on the mound didn’t help, however, because it was followed by Packard’s double and Christiansen’s single. At that point, Borland had seen enough and put in Xavier Alexander, who looked like he was just what the Lions needed, throwing one pitch that resulted in a double play, and got the Lions out of the inning. Alexander had a strong fourth inning, striking out two, but gave up a run in the fifth and three more in the sixth, making it 11-0, and was replaced by Jordan Flint. At that point, one of the Liberty fans became flinty, chastising a Heritage fan who was enjoying the show. Probably not helping that fan’s mood any, Flint gave up a double to Kyle Wells in the sixth and four more runs in the seventh, and mercifully final, inning.

Golfer from page 1B Aiello Invitational at Discovery Bay Country Club. In addition, he earned medalist honors in 11 of 13 Bay Valley Athletic League matches this season. According to Liberty golf Coach Curtis Cunningham, Robinson is a great leader, a great team player and a great student. Robinson’s individual goals include maintaining a scoring average of par or better for the season, and making a return trip to the NCS Championships, where he has competed every season of his high school career. His team goal is to lead his team to a BVAL title. While he admits that the prospect of capturing a title for the round-robin portion

“Our team played very, very well,” said Bower in an understatement. “We started real well and kept it on the whole game. It was nice to see that – we haven’t done that this year.” The win gave Heritage a 8-9 overall record and 4-5 in league play. “So we are trying to fight for our (place in the) playoffs,” he said. “It’s still a hope for us. I challenged the kids this week to get two wins and they got two wins. The kids just played well. We are starting to hit the ball real well. It’s finally coming together. We are playing real good baseball right now.” Heritage definitely appeared to be peaking at the right time. Combined with a 3-0 victory earlier last week over Antioch and a 12-0 win over San Leandro the previous week, Heritage scored a remarkable 31 runs in three games while holding their opponents scoreless.

of the schedule might be remote (the Lions trail Deer Valley by two games with only one more head-to-head matchup), he hopes they can capture the team title at the BVAL Championships, citing some recent strong play by his teammates as cause for optimism. Robinson credits sophomore teammate Paul Krey for contributing to the team’s success. “He works really hard,” he said. “I have a ton of respect for him. He works endlessly to improve and is always creeping up on me.” Robinson not only leads by example; he does so in a humble and selfless manner. He will be taking that approach to the Pacific10 Conference next season, and who knows where he’ll go from there?

“Seussical, the Musical” is a charming tale that brings many of Dr. Seuss’ characters to life in a story about the power of imagination and the importance of friendship.

Filled with songs and many more beloved

Dr. Seuss characters, the show is a musical experience suitable for all ages.

Seen at Lady Liberty

Seen on Tortola he Pica family – Marcos, Marcos Jr., Shari, Alysea and Sierra – took their Discovery Bay Press to an inspiring locale for their holiday in New York City. Thanks, everyone. Your Hometown Weekly Newspaper found it an uplifting experience.

Bev, Al and Jennifer Lockwood, and Ed and Nancy Lingo chartered a 47-foot yacht from the Moorings in Tortola, British Virgin Islands and took themselves – and their Hometown Weekly Newspaper – on a private cruise. Ed was appointed captain; the other vacationers swabbed the deck. When captain and crew set foot on terra firma, they hoisted the Brentwood Press to the top of one of Tortola’s mountains. Thanks for the view.
