This Week Firefighter of the Year honored Election 2010 by Rick Lemyre Staff Writer Firefighter Jaymes Laughlin was all set: Engine 93 in Oakley was ready to whisk him away to a dinner in his honor at Brentwood’s Veterans Hall, where he was to be honored as the Veterans of Foreign Wars Firefighter of the Year. More than a dozen members of the Warrior Watch Riders motorcycle group were there, too, ready to provide one of their signature escorts. Suddenly, everything changed. An emergency medical call came in, and Laughlin and his comrades, decked out in jackets and ties, hurriedly left the caravan parked quietly in front of the station and headed out to help. “It was crazy,” Laughlin said. “I was in the back of the engine, tearing off my tie

In the end, Laughlin and his escort made it to Brentwood, where VFW Commander Steve Todd emphasized importance of honoring firefighters. “These guys put their lives on the line every single day, saving people,” he said. “They need to be recognized and honored by the community for what they do.” “In the station, his energy and enthusiasm are absolutely contagious,” said ECCFPD Chief Hugh Henderson of Laughlin. “He is the kind of person that can motivate by his actions, from the newest firefighter to a salty old chief officer. Jaymes raises the bar to be the best and provide the best service to the district and the citizens we service.” “It’s humbling just to be nominated, and to win it is

Liberty trustee candidates look ahead by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer

The three open seats on the five-member Liberty Union High School District (LUHSD) Board has inspired two incumbents, a well-known face and two lesser-known newcomers to run the race. The candidates are Steve White, Roy Ghiggeri, Joanne Byer, Daron Odell Spears and Yolanda Pena-Mendrek. Project manager Steve White is running for the LUHSD board in an effort to rally support from parents and families, and to solicit their involvement in the school board and district issues. “I have a personal concern over the welfare of our kids.

Street Feast set for Thanksgiving Day by Samie Hartley Staff Writer

Halloween is a week away, and some stores are already stocking their shelves with Christmas decorations. But one group of East County residents is focused on the holiday that falls in the middle: Thanksgiving. The owners of Willy’s Bagels and Blends have partnered with Cornerstone Fellowship, Kaleidoscope and a multitude of other local businesses, charities and community groups to organize and host the inaugural Street Feast, a community Thanksgiving event that will offer free holiday meals to anyone looking for support and kindness this season. Turkey Day is more than a month away, but the Street Feast team is vigorously planning this unique venture so that everyone in East County can celebrate Thanksgiving this year. “My family has always done what we can to support the community,” said Ryan Richardson, owner of Willy’s. “We’ve been very involved with schools and other local charities, but after the Save Freshmen Sports campaign this summer, we realized that the community does want to help out those in need – they just don’t always know how to help.

The Richardson family, owners of Willy’s Bagels and Blends in Brentwood, is partnering with other local businesses, community organizations and charities to host the inaugural Street Feast, East County’s inaugural community Thanksgiving event. “Through our foundation, Willy’s United, we’re partnering with other groups and businesses to put on the community’s first, all-inclusive Thanksgiving event. Brentwood hasn’t seen an event like this before, but we hope it will become a tradition.” During the summer, Willy’s was

one of many local businesses holding fundraisers to raise the $48,000 needed to maintain the frosh sports program in the Liberty Union High School District this school year. Based on the outpouring of support, Richardson believes Brentwood and surrounding communities will come together again – this time to provide free Thanksgiving meals to those in need on Nov. 25. While the event will be held at Towne Center in Brentwood, all residents of East County are invited. There are even plans to set up a shuttle service to get the area’s homeless to downtown Brentwood on Thanksgiving so that everyone in need has the

opportunity to spend the holiday in a warm and welcoming environment. As part of Street Feast, Richardson and the Street Feast team intend to provide free turkey dinners, complete with all the fixings, as well as fun and games for families. The Street Feast team will be purchasing prepackaged Thanksgiving meal boxes assembled by the Treasure Box program, and volunteer cooks will prepare the meals at home and bring the turkeys and the side dishes to the Cornerstone facility on Thanksgiving. The event will feature bounce houses for the kids, and TVs will be set up at Cornerstone, where holiday football games will be broadcast. Guests may take home nonperishable food from a pantry of donated items, and a Community Closet will be filled with donated, gently used and laundered clothing. Food and clothing donations are currently being accepted at Willy’s (1155 Second St.) and Cornerstone (1185 Second St.). When Richardson pitched the idea to Nancy Torres, a member of the Byron-based cancer support group Kaleidoscope, she was immediately on board. “Ryan and his family have found a way to put their finger on the pulse of the community,” Torres said. “There are droves of people and their families who could use an extra hand these days, but instead of being overwhelmed by this task, the Richardsons have aligned themselves with other community organizations and local businesses to ask a simple question: ‘How can we help?’ Now we’ve all accidentally on purpose become connected to help see Feast page 30A

O’Malley – justice trumps convictions Editor: We do not want another district attorney who is interested only in convictions. We’ve already had that. We need one who is interested in justice, period. A former DA took pride in convictions and while running for re-election, did not have the backing of law enforcement. To gain its support, he opened a bogus case against me, falsely accusing me of being an enemy of police officers and publishing the home address of a sheriff. I knew nothing about this action until I read about it in the Times. Determined to convict me in order to gain police endorsement, that DA made sure that I could not speak at the “trial,” nor could I challenge any “evidence,” which I could have definitely proved false. Staff prosecutor Dan O’Malley conducted the case for his boss and was to carry out his instructions. As the proceedings unfolded, I knew in my heart that Mr. O’Malley knew full well that I was being railroaded. He was visibly disturbed over what he was required to do. I have since become acquainted with Mr. O’Malley and know beyond doubt that he would be a fair district attorney who would prosecute the bad guys, but never someone innocent. My vote is for Dan O’Malley as district attorney. Voters, think very carefully about this, as you might unexpectedly wind up in court yourself and would want someone in charge who seeks justice – not just convictions. Rev. Austin Miles Oakley

Cut benefits, don’t raise taxes Editor: Hello, not that all, or any of you, for that matter, want to hear from me, but you all need to know that there are multitudes of constituents (voters) in Antioch like me that know that a sales-tax increase for our city will just be another black mark against living or doing business here. That this measure ever made it to the ballot box is incredible, but it is not too late for supporters of the measure to reverse themselves and admit that it was not a wellconceived idea. Again, I reiterate that while well-staffed police and fire ranks are a necessity in our city, one staffed by overcompensated personnel, especially at this incredibly difficult time of job and home losses resulting in calamity cut-backs in revenues for the city, is akin to licensed larceny. Those responsible for agreeing to the 3-percent-per-year formula of retirement compensation for police and fire should without exception be turned out of office and never again allowed to occupy public positions requiring reasoning and basic math skills. No public agency, especially one in California, can afford to retire people at 90 to 100 percent of salary, at a last year inflated salary, and as early as age 50 to boot! If we cannot by law modify those unjustified salary contracts, then we should terminate employment of personnel unwilling to voluntarily accept realistic pay and benefits packages, and hire from the ranks of the unemployed whose minds are open to honest reimbursement for honest work. Instead of just axing police and fire positions, ax only those who refuse to give up their undeserved, inflated retirement packages. That will make the determination of whom to get rid of very easy. If all public-safety personnel accept permanent cuts to reasonable levels, no additional cuts in personnel will be required other than temporary pay cuts. After all, these people are not congressmen or senators (read: royalty). Drastic times call for drastic measures. Support and vote for responsible people like Arne Simonsen and Gary Agopian as a start to a return to sanity. Elect no one not sane, responsible, honest, deeply ingrained with common sense and their self-interest clearly secondary to public interest. James C. Morris, Sr. Antioch

Re-elect Becnel Editor: It has been seven years now since my wife, daughter and I came to Brentwood. When we first arrived, my wife and I were commuters like so many others, but after a short time we both became business owners here in Brentwood. The reason we choose to have our businesses here is because of the leadership of the city, especially that of City Councilman Chris Becnel. We as Brentwood citizens are in an envi-

able position of having a city with a balanced budget, fully staffed police department and a stabilizing housing market. All of these are due to the leadership shown by Chris and his continued commitment to our community and maintaining conservative, responsible leadership that Brentwood is known for. In a time when the rest of our neighboring cities are still grappling with the uncertainty of what the future will hold for them economically, we are moving forward and prospering. In times like these we need proven leadership and it is dangerous to change course or bring in others who don’t share or understand the vision and tradition of Brentwood leadership. Unproven or untested individuals could steer us off course and cause us to lose what Chris and all the other great leaders of our city of the past have worked so hard to accomplish and bring us to where we are today. My family and I plan to cast our votes for Chris Bencel: Proven leadership, preserving the Brentwood way of life. John D. Fink Brentwood

Vote for parents for school board Editor: I’m writing to raise awareness of upcoming public school concerns for homeowners and for parents with children in the Brentwood Union School District (BUSD) such as I. The most recent estimates of the California budget 2010-11 will cut funding per pupil by about $294 per student, which is approximately $2.4 million for the school district. The BUSD budget does not reflect this decrease. Further, more than a third of California’s recently passed budget has no source of funding. Wait, it gets worse. Forty percent of California school system budgets are directly related to property taxes; the remainder comes from state aid, which is funded through property, income and sales tax. Thus the majority of all school budgets are driven by property-tax revenues. Of the approximately 16,200 homes in Brentwood, about 3,100 are in foreclosure with only an additional 200 homes for sale in good standing. The average value for Brentwood properties dropped another 12 percent this year. Taken together, we can safely assume significant future declines in the Brentwood Union School District (BUSD) budget. The challenge facing the BUSD is to make cuts while preserving core educational principles. As a parent, I want to see classroom expenditures as a share of total school spending preserved. This means cutting certified supervisors, classified supervisors and other administrator spending back to pre-2007 levels before any more teacher and classroom cuts are made. It means challenging the status quo, thinking outside the box, fostering a move to charter schools, raising see Letters page 22A

Conserving lamp oil Editor: It has been reported that Diogenes, world-famous seeker of a completely truthful person, has stated that Washington, D.C. has been removed from his itinerary. He is quoted as saying, “ There is no point in wasting lamp oil there.” He further stated, “I believe I will just take a vacation until after Nov. 2.

those years I was a member of the Brentwood school district board. Larry Hilburn has been serving on that same board for the past six years. During those six years he has served the Brentwood community in that capacity with the desire to see that Brentwood children receive the best possible K-8 education. Over the last three years the district has gone through very difficult financial times, cutting between four and six million dollars from its budget. During that same time the district has maintained a high level of academic achievement. I believe Larry Hilburn has played an active and positive role in mitigating difficult decisions and will continue to do so in the future. He has a bachelor’s degree in social science, a graduate year for a teaching credential and another year for an educational administrative credential. He spent 34 years as an elementary educator. He also has experience in the business field. I find him to be honest, forthright, of good character and very deliberative in his decision-making. For the above and many more reasons, I feel he is well qualified to retain his seat on the Brentwood Union School District Board. R. Paul Krey Brentwood

If you were unable to attend the City Council candidates night held on Wednesday evening at Liberty High School, you missed an outstanding opportunity to hear what the new City Council candidates’ positions are on many of our current and past city issues. But the facts are clear: we must get Becnel out and keep Cushing off the City Council. This year’s City Council election is extremely critical to the future of the city of Brentwood and changes need to take place to fully ensure a balanced governing body. It is very clear, after you read between the lines, that the individuals and organizations that have made contributions to two of the candidates have a clearly defined agenda. In the case of Chris Becnel, it has been his agenda already. Councilmen Becnel has received contributions from Measure F proponents Lee Hancock, Hancock Builders, John Wong from Mission Peak Builders and Chi Wong both of Fremont, DeNova Homes, Delta Ranches and Homes and four contributions from Blackhawk Services, which includes Shea Homes and Ron Nunn, which are all part of the Vineyards development. Additionally, I believe all residents of Brentwood recently received a mailer for Chris Becnel that, when I first opened it, I thought it was another of the many misleading and lying Measure F mailers we all received in the past. Chis Becnel has never done anything as a councilmen that was in the best interest of our city or any of us as residents – unless you were a developer. His efforts contrib-

uted greatly in the forcing of councilmen Richey to not run for re-election. Jim Cushing brings to the puzzle the commercial real estate side, which can easily be viewed as just too much of a conflict of interest. Then you look at the individuals and companies that have made contributions to Mr. Cushing and the picture is even clearer as to the directions his efforts will focus on. Candidate Cushing has received contributions from Shea Homes, DeNova Homes, SAG Architects, New Urban Communities, Ron Nunn Association and Tico Construction. I would ask that the residents of Brentwood give their full support to Scott Davis and Joel Bryant for the two new members of our City Council. These gentlemen gave outstanding presentations and are strong supporters of what needs to take place in the future in the City of Brentwood. Both of these candidates are supporters of controlled and balanced growth, safety, attracting businesses and making Brentwood a community that people want to live in, which hasn’t been a top concern for many of our current council members.

I appreciate the time and interest given to the citizens of Brentwood as we offered our views on architecture, landscape and design. The Civic Center is an expensive project, but due to wise planning and an economic downturn, we will now reach our goal of revitalizing the downtown, which will draw new businesses to our city, create jobs and provide a family friendly environment for consumers – at a 36-percent savings of the original estimates. Every city has issues and concerns about increase in crime. One issue of concern has been the Section 8 housing in our neighborhoods. Chris Becnel worked to find appropriate solutions and, much as a result of his efforts, the crime in our city is now down by 29 percent. Most cities in Contra Costa County are operating without budget reserves; some are even facing bankruptcy, but not our city. Thanks to an excellent City Council and city staff, Brentwood has a 30-percent budget reserve. Now is not the time to change good leadership. Let’s vote to retain Chris Becnel, use the economy to our advantage and choose wisely the candidate for the other open seat. Patricia Reagan Brentwood

Think new on November 2 Editor: This letter is to encourage the citizens of Brentwood, Oakley, Discovery Bay, Byron, Bethel Island and Knightsen in this very sensitive/public election cycle to become aware in the local election. These are the elections; people spend very little time looking into and have the biggest impact on our communities. It would be disappointing for anyone to vote in these elections and not know whom they are voting for. Recently, I decided to put my name in the hat for Liberty Union High School District, as did many new folks in my race and others in our communities. From my thought process, that is what will address our challenges, locally, in the state and nationally. New folks, with common sense who want to be involved. Let’s be real: not all folks currently on boards, in seats or serving have caused our mess. However, they all haven’t fixed it, either. Specifically, the schools are faced with financial challenges, at varying levels in each district. These challenges are not going to get easier, but tougher. Ask yourself first: do I know who my board members are? Second: can they get the job done, considering the new challenges? If you think they will, vote status quo. If you think they are on task in all these local races, status quo is definitely the way this year. If not, you better start spending some time reviewing the candidates. I attended a forum with the two other non-incumbents. It can be viewed on CCTV or online at the big

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage Matters By Trevor Frey

Top of the Food Chain Found on over eight countries’ coats of arms, used as the national bird for four nations, and held in comparison to the bible and crucifix of Christianity by many Native American tribes, the eagle is truly the top of the “bird” food chain. And when it comes to your home - a very important investment, if not the largest investment of your family’s future – wouldn’t you want to be working with the top of the food chain to ensure your best interests are protected? The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, known as HUD, is the top of the food chain when it comes to all Federal Housing Administration (FHA) items of business. Since the inception of FHA mortgage insurance in 1934, HUD has only allowed two types of FHA loan originators: Supervised firms that mainly consist of brokerages and are known as Correspondents, or “Mini-Eagle Lenders”, and Non-Supervised direct lenders that are known or Mortgagees, or “Full Eagle Lenders”. Mini-Eagle Lenders do not have the power or authority to fund, service, own, or even underwrite FHA loans…all they can do is originate FHA loans through their Mortgagee sponsor. Their files must be brokered out and sent off to who knows where – many times FHA files are sent to southern California or even out of state as far as Texas – to be underwritten and funded by a Non-Supervised sponsor. With the Mini-Eagle Lender not truly in control of anything, the opportunity for delay

and frustration in closing the loan is high. Many lenders become Mini-Eagle Lenders due to their lack of experience coupled with the hardship of achieving the economic and staffing requirements necessary to become a Full Eagle Lender. Due to this inexperience, more times than not, Mini-Eagle Lenders cannot close an FHA transaction within 30 days. Full Eagle Lenders, on the other hand, are actual banks that have obtained Direct Endorsement authority from the local FHA/ HUD field office in their area. Mortgagees, or Full Eagle Lenders, are required to have FHA/HUD approved underwriters (underwriters that have funded a set number of loans under the field office’s supervision) on site at all times. Non-Supervised Full Eagle Lenders have the authorization to perform any lender function an FHA loan may require: they are allowed to originate, fund, hold, service, purchase and sell FHA loans. By working with a Full Eagle Lender you guarantee yourself the top of the food chain in the lending world. Your file is truly being handled locally, and by a seasoned loan originator who has the backing of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. With a brick-and-mortar office in Brentwood, a Full Eagle designation, and local FHA/HUD approved underwriters on staff, I welcome any/all of your lending related questions or concerns on my cell phone, on my cell phone, (925) 726-1444.

OCTOBER 22, 2010

THEPRESS.NET

Letters from page 23A newspaper of our area, in the political section of its website. (I didn’t say better, just bigger). Unfortunately, the incumbents could not attend the forum in my race. If you watch the forum you will see in this race, or the other local races, the issues and hear candidate’s opinions and determine for yourself who is best for the near term. I have spent thousands of hours volunteering for kids in several different factions of our community for the past 20 years (sports, church and agriculture – 4-H). I farm, ranch and am a business owner. Most importantly I am a Dad (only candidate with a student in district now and future), Uncle and mentor. I have sat on many boards at the local, state and national

level for business and youth. In my simple opinion, perspective, balance and common sense are what will keep us moving forward. When I read that there are no new candidates at least running in the Knightsen School District for the board, I wonder if anyone is watching. They have a new school that was shut down and no one new wants to get involved? Think that could happen in your school districts? Is site location critical? Status quo should work great in these cases. Don’t blame the folks who are involved; step up and get involved. My point: think about your home values, neighbors, kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, etc. … and start looking at the local elections. If it is city council, school boards or irrigation district boards, elect the folks who

can get the job done. For too long, we have been complacent with the local stuff. I am running for the Liberty Union School District Board, I am a New Voice. I am voting for candidates in the local elections who are prepared to make the tough choices; it takes effort to find out who they are. I encourage you to do so. Think local and consider New, November 2. Daron Spears Candidate for Liberty Union High School District Board PS. Whoever is enjoying themselves at 11 p.m. taking down my signs (40-plus), I just want to send a personal note of thanks. In two weeks, all the signs must be removed. You are saving me a great deal of time in cleaning up soon. Please dispose of them

responsibly. Consider recycling. That might be too much to ask?

Vote Silver, Steele, MacVittie Editor: Let’s upgrade the DB CSD board with professional managers. I have watched the Discovery Bay CSD board very closely for nearly four years. Since my first observation it has been clear to me that this board needs to be upgraded, and to do that, it needs members who know how to make decisions and who can oversee our water/waste treatment/landscaping operations without political motivation. I believe the three candidates who can best serve our needs are Jonathan Silver, Chris Steele and see Letters page 25A

OCTOBER 22, 2010

Letters from page 24A Walter MacVittie. I have spoken to all three and I can say for certain that these three professional business managers understand the issues and the need to get past the status quo to better plan for the future and more effectively handle the foreseen and unforeseen issues related to providing critical public services in an open and progressive manner. The two incumbents (they were appointed about a year ago, not elected) who are also running will tell you of the balanced budget and make other claims. However, it is my observation that balancing a budget by hiking the rates is not too difficult. What is difficult is to set a comprehensive plan in place for the necessary upgrades and enhancements to our waste treatment and water-processing infrastructure. Currently a real and tangible comprehensive mid- to long-range plan does not exist and the town’s financial reserves are insufficient to pay for the looming expenditures that will absolutely be necessary. One last observation regarding my suggestion that it is time to put professional/ non-political managers on the CSD board: How many of you knew that on June 22 of this year the town had a sewage malfunction that in an overnight period dumped more than 16,000 gallons of raw sewage into one of the bays? To state it more visually, the spill would fill 300 55-gallon barrels and would require at least five semi-trailers to transport it. Although select homes closely adjoining the spill were informed, no effort was made to make a general notification or to disclose the event. In my opinion, we can expect more of this behavior unless we elect professional managers without political motivation such as Silver, Steele and MacVittie. Jeff Barber Discovery Bay

Running to serve Editor: I regret having to correct VP Simon’s Oct. 15 letter “Silver’s forum comments wrong.” I am running for the CSD Board for the people of Discovery Bay, not against him. I do the research before I speak and stand by all of my statements. I have never stated that fines have been levied in the past year. I have stated that fines have been paid in the past year. Information on the California Water Resources Control Board website shows Discovery Bay paid $54,000 for Administrative Civil Liability Complaint # R5-2009-0525 on March 30, 2009. Discovery Bay paid another $24,000 for Administrative Civil Liability Complaint #R5-2009-05 on Dec. 17, 2009. Pending fines, yet to be assessed, include a $231,000 fine for the 2008 Lakeshore 100,000-gallon spill. Documentation on all of this information was available to everyone, including VP Simon, on my candidates table at the Oct. 5, 2010 candidate forum. On June 22-23, 2010 a 16,450-gallon sewage spill into Windward Bay was, VP Simon says, fixed promptly. Veolia’s report to the state said the spill was reported at 11:35 p.m. on June 22. Veolia arrived at 12:06 a.m., could not find the leak and left. At 7:15 a.m. on June 23, Veolia located and fixed the problem. A spill that could be identified and reported could not be located

THEPRESS.NET

for over seven hours. Prompt? I have never said proper notification was not sent or that a fine had already been levied. I said, in accordance with California Water Resources Control Board staff, which can be reached at 916-464-4835, fines are being consolidated and are coming for Lakeshore, a 4,500-gallon spill that occurred on Aug. 15, 2009, and the June 22-23, 2010 spill. Who will pay for Lakeshore is still under dispute. Veolia’s June Monthly Report, which was received by the town on July 8, 2010 described the June 22-23 spill. The Veolia May, July and August reports have been published at CSD meetings. June’s was not. Why has the CSD withheld this information from our community? In the past, CSD decided against using one emergency notification system, VP Simon says. What has been done since – nothing … VP Simon implies that I have withheld information on the potential funding for a fire station. About a month and a half ago I met with VP Simon alone for about 45 minutes to get acquainted. I gave him the USDA information I had researched, which he wrote down. I expected him to benefit the town by running with it. Apparently it went nowhere. It, too, was on my table Oct. 5. I made no false statement on Oct. 5 or at any other time. When I am elected to the board, I will not be a “yes man.” I will speak out against what I believe to be not lawful or not in the best interest of the people of Discovery Bay. I am running to serve the people of Discovery Bay, not to placate the CSD board. I ask again for your vote on Nov. 2, 2010. Jonathan Silver Discovery Bay

More than elementary thanks Editor: This past Friday night, Brentwood Elementary celebrated our annual Fall Festival. I was again reminded how lucky I am that my children are a part of the Brentwood El family. It was a wonderful evening full of games and activities, prizes and fun and even a little magic thrown in for good measure. None of this could have been possible without all of the parents and staff members who volunteered their time and talents to help run the games and activities. The Leadership classes from Edna Hill, Adams and Bristow middle schools also provided numerous volunteers, many of whom stayed all night long to help out. I would like to extend a special thank-you to Amber Baer for her great ideas and hard work, to John Gardenier for the wonderful magic shows and to Tom Gregory for all of his help with the pumpkin patch and setting up activities. Our sponsors came through in a big way this year, providing many of the fantastic raffle prizes, so a big thank-you goes out to Trader Joe’s, All Pro Glass, the Oakland Athletics, Ryder Homes, Scrumdillyumptious, the Best of British and Baer Enterprises. It is because of your continued support, and the support of our community as a whole, that our kids will grow and thrive. See you next year! Heather Partida Brentwood

Years ago when I was a kid, the doctor would come to my house to check me out. As I sat there praying he wouldn’t give me a shot, he’d prescribe something out of his black bag and tell Mom I should be fine in a few days. Mumps, measles, chicken pox – everything that could “fix me” could be found in that black bag. Mom took care of me then and now it’s my turn to take care of her. Where is that black bag now when I need it? Thank goodness Mom has a fantastic primary doctor that cares enough about her to communicate with us about her medications. These days there are specialists for everything. Your primary doctor sends you to the heart doctor, who sends you to a vein specialist, who sends you to … well, it goes on and on. Granted, it’s comforting that a doctor can be so well versed in everything that can happen to your veins. The problem is that each doctor needs to communicate with each other doctor so that the multiple medications they prescribe mix well together. It can be a real juggling act. If you don’t have a terrific pharmacist like my Mom’s, it can be downright scary. It’s imperative that anyone taking care of a senior be aware of all medications and how they mix to-

gether – not only with other prescriptions, but with vitamins and over-the-counter remedies such as allergy pills and aspirin. Although I’m not a doctor or a pharmacist, everything I write about is run past Robert Fox at Walgreens, or my mom’s doctor, Derek Johnson. It’s important to keep your primary physician in the drug loop and have a pharmacist that knows you and cares about what you or your loved ones are taking. There are just too many pitfalls. Another tool I recently discovered is the MedID card offered by MedID Technologies Inc. It’s an electronic USB card that you can pop into your computer. You enter your medical and emergency information on the card and carry the card in your wallet. It’s a technological marvel – and easy to use. Even I can use it, and my computer and I are not the best of friends. It’s also inexpensive. For more information on this treasure, feel free to call me at 925-922-0314 and I’ll let you know how to get one. It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3!

Firefighter from page 1A even all the better,” said Laughlin. “But it’s the kind of thing you want to hurry up and grab and get out of the limelight.” In addition to his firefighting duties, Laughlin has represented the district in Western States Police and Fire Games, the California Firemen’s Athletic Association Firefighter Olympics, the Crossfit Games, as well as on a national level at the Scott Firefighter Combat Challenge. He has also helped raise thousands of dollars for charitable causes, such as the Ally Jenkins Fund and the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. To comment, visit www. thepress.net.

We’re located at the center of town and we see a lot of traffic, but rather than make it about us, we want to partner with other organizations to help the community.” Enter Billy Rieder, Cornerstone Fellowship pastor. While the status of the country’s economy varies depending on whom you talk to and what news outlet you read or watch, Rieder said East County is still feeling the pinch of the recession – there are families who need help. While people tend to be more charitable during the

holidays, many organizations focus their holiday charity efforts on the December holidays. Thanksgiving is often overlooked, so an event such as Street Feast is needed now more than ever, and Rieder and Cornerstone’s congregation have happily joined the effort. “Even though the community is hurting, we still need to remember to give thanks,” Rieder said. “We’re all going through hardships, but that’s not a reason to not give thanks this year. By having this event, we hope to inject a shot of hope into the community. A lot of people who are down on their luck think that no one cares, but the community will take care of its own. By offering a free meal and a day of fellowship, we hope to extend that hand up to the community and let them know we are here and want to help.”

Seen on Half Dome

rentwood resident Else Von Schopp and her Brentwood Press were on top of the world recently when Else made her very ﬁrst assault of the summit of Yosemite’s iconic Half Dome. “The last 425 feet up the cables to the top were grueling,” said Else. “I’m still bragging.” Not bad for a 75-year-old. Thanks, Else, for letting your Hometown Weekly Newspaper brag with you – and about you.

Roger Gehring, a patron of Cornerstone Fellowship and an organizer of God’s Kingdom Team (also part of the Street Feast effort), believes the event’s mission is as simple as extending the hand of friendship to the community while offering people a place to get a free meal and enjoy camaraderie. “We’re promoting ‘hi’ – that’s all we want to do is say ‘hi’ and reach out to our community and give a hand up to people,” said Gehring. “It’s our jobs as humans to look out for one another and not just in time of need. I think this event could start a revolution of community support. I think a lot of people have wanted to do this for a long time, but we just needed a group of people to step up and get it going.” Richardson expects 3,000 people and is welcoming anyone and every-

Byer is gratified by the district’s growth and accomplishments and believes that her experience on the board will be key to keeping the school district headed in the proper direction. “I am proud that each of our high schools has been named a California Distinguished School in this decade and that La Paloma has been named a state Model Continuation High School,” said Byer in her candidate statement. “I am also proud that we have always had a balanced budget during those 25 years without laying off a classroom teacher. I feel that in difficult times, experienced leadership is key to keeping the school district moving in the right direction.” Farmer and cattle rancher Daron Odell Spears is running for a seat on the board as a first-time candidate who believes his commonsense approach and non-incumbent status will lend a new perspective to the board. “The first thing is that from my perspective, there are no parents on the board,” said Spears. “When Steve Barr

I want them to open their eyes and see that the community has opened their hearts.” Street Feast is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 25 from 1 to 5 p.m. at 1185 Second St. in Brentwood.

leaves, there will be no business people on the board, either. I think that’s really important for the direction the school board is going. I have no issue with anyone on the board or anyone running. I think they are all great. I just think it is going to take someone with more business acumen, someone who can look at numbers and make sense of them. “To me, the biggest issue is that we need a new voice: a parent and a business person. That’s it.” Yolanda Pena-Mendrek is an incumbent looking to serve a second term on the LUSD board. The former assistant principal and school administrator has brought her love of education and learning to the school board and hopes to continue fostering the importance of community support and fiscal responsibility during these challenging economic times. “I have been in the trenches and I bring that experience with me,” said Pena-Mendrek in an interview with The Press. “I have some strong ideas, and am I going to get my way 100 percent of the time? Of course not, and that’s OK.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Mobile service takes sting out of dings RUTH ROBERTS

ar door dings and shopping cart creases are the unfortunate realities of automo-

bile ownership. And since the cost of most vehicle repairs ranks somewhere between expensive and prohibitive, it’s not surprising that many of us just resign ourselves to living with a few extra bumps, dents and wrinkles. But Tim Helm, owner of Oakley’s Dent King – a paintless dent repair service – believes all our vehicles can have that fresh-from-the-showroom look – we simply need to know where to get it. “Most people don’t realize that dent removal is much cheaper than a conventional body shop – about 25 percent cheaper – and that it can restore your car to its original ﬁnish,” said Helm, who opened his mobile business in 2005. “Paintwork is where most of the money is spent at a body shop, so bypassing that step can save you a lot of money.” Helm’s premiere mobile service offers customers the convenience of getting the

work done at home or office, typically in under two hours. Using a variety of metal rods and body picks, dent technicians such as Helm are able to push the dents out from the inner side of a car’s body panel. Glue may also be used from the outside of the panel to pull the dents out. The repair is fine-tuned by tapping down small high spots created by the original repair, making the surface flat. Paintless dent repair may be used on both aluminum and steel panels, and because no sanding or painting are involved, the process is 100 percent “green.” “I see a lot of different kinds of dents and I can take out some really big ones, like the panels that have been kicked in by an unhappy boyfriend or girlfriend,” said Helm. “But the typical repairs are for door dings.” Dent removal is not a new technique – it’s been around for as long as sheet metal has been used on cars – but over the past decade the popularity of paintless dent repair has spawned a growing cottage industry. Not all services however, are created equal. “This is really an art form,” said see King page 8B

Stan Tittle, owner of Brentwood Transmissions & Auto Care Center at 305 Central Terrace, said he experiences this dilemma on a weekly basis. According to Tittle, a car owner should consider several things before giving the green light to a costly repair: the car’s subjective value and the difference between its overall mechanical condition and its Blue Book value, which can be found at www.kelleybluebook.com. “There is a point of no return,” Tittle said. “It just depends on the Blue Book value of the vehicle versus the repairs and also what the customer feels his car is worth to him as far as the mechanical shape of the vehicle.” According to Tittle, owners sentimentally attached to their car usually opt for the repairs in order to keep their prized possession running smoothly. But when heavy repairs such as maintenance of the transmission (which Tittle said can cost up to $3,000) or the engine come into play, owners should give serious thought to cutting their losses. If the car looks good on the outside, however, and has no serious mechanical problems, owners should opt for repairs. “Some vehicles that are in good mech shape would be worth fixing even though the Blue Book value is not what it should be,” Tittle said.

It depends on how the customer likes the car, and its sentimental value. Sometimes people don’t care at that point what it costs – they just love the car. – Gary Kendall, owner of Kendall Automotive The first things to wear out on older cars, Tittle said, are safety items such as brakes, lights and windshield wipers. Problems involving the water pump, radiator and timing belts are also common – totaling about $300 or more – but not as costly as major repairs. Gary Kendall, owner of Kendall Automotive at 205 Oak St., advises oldercar owners to prepare for a major repair by setting aside money each month. Even so, said Kendall, “It depends on how the customer likes the car, and its sentimental value. Sometimes people don’t care at that point what it costs – they just love the car.” To comment, visit www.thepress.

Obsidian from page 4B “Mercedes Benz is a very specialized vehicle,” said Obsidian Motors owner Ian Lebb. “The engineering is completely different. There is a network within each car – like its own Internet – and it contains aircraft-level technology, so the average service station isn’t equipped to handle that advanced engineering. We have a special diagnostic system that’s the same thing you’d ﬁnd at the dealer, but you don’t have to travel nearly as far.” When Lebb came to Oakley a few years ago, he saw a lot of Mercedes on the roads, but no specialty shops catering exclusively to those German luxury cars, so he decided to open a shop in Antioch. He later moved his business to Oakley, where he operates a larger maintenance facility. Lebb, however, is more than a maintenance shop owner – he’s a Master Grand Technician. This highest status among Mercedes Benz technicians is earned by only the top 30 techs in the United States. More than 4,000 technicians are tested each year, and Lebb’s perfect scores have earned him the formidable title two years in a row. As one of the top technicians in his ﬁeld, having chalked up more than 30

I spent 25 years in the auto body repair field and I’ve got the experience.” Here’s what you need to consider when it comes to the success of paintless dent repair: Color. Contrary to what might seem logical, the lighter the car, the tougher it is to get out the dents. White, for example, catches the light at odd angles and can be the hardest color to fix. Conversely, said Helms, metallics and grays are the easiest to fix.

years of experience working with Mercedes Benz automobiles, Lebb travels the world teaching classes through WorldPac, a renowned automobile training institute. His work is so respected that Mercedes owners come to Oakley from across the Bay Area to get his crew to work on their cars. One of Lebb’s customers brings his Mercedes all the way from Southern California for routine maintenance, aware that Obsidian Motors provides a trusted, quality service that’s hard to ﬁnd. “My philosophy is that you do the job right at a fair price,” Lebb said. “That’s what it boils down to. We do everything from electronics and engines to windshields and upholstery work. My staff is highly trained to handle this particular type of car and we’re constantly educating ourselves about the latest techniques and advances in technology. We stay on top of things so that we know the cars inside and out and can save our customers money.

Type. The type of dent will determine how easy it is to remove. Round dents – such as those caused by hailstorms and rocks – are easier to remove than creases – typically caused by collisions. Location. As in real estate, a dent’s location is all-important. Door dings are easier to repair, said Helms, than dents or creases on trunks or along the bodyline of the vehicle.

Wolverines look for answers after loss by Justin Lafferty

back Brian Thomas scored on a three-yard touchdown run, the final points to hit the scoreboard. The 5-foot-5-inch senior was a workhorse for Deer Valley, carrying the ball 16 times for 59 yards and catching the ball twice for 15 yards. Behr went 11-for-19 passing for 152 yards, 75 of which were claimed by junior receiver Miles Walker. The JV Wolverines also fell to the Pirates, losing 37-32. Freshman QB Nsimba Webster was intercepted with about two minutes remaining in the game, as his team was down by five. Pittsburg then ran for a touchdown, making the score 37-26. Webster showed off his arm on the next possession, launching a 64-yard touchdown bomb to Lee Ward. Deer Valley fell to 4-2 while the Pirates moved to 5-1. For the full story, visit www.thepress.net.

The Deer Valley and Pittsburg High varsity football teams practiced role reversal on Friday night. The Pirates’ 47-12 victory made them look more like the defending Bay Valley Athletic League champs who entered the game with a solid record. The host Wolverines (4-2) played as if they were seeking their first win. Pittsburg, winless in the preseason, seized momentum on the game’s first play – a 67-yard pass from junior QB Malik Watson to senior receiver Julius Mozee – and didn’t look back. “We just weren’t ready for their intensity,” Deer Valley senior quarterback Mike Behr said. “I think we just lost it mentally. We let other things get in the way of tonight’s game.” Some Wolverine players said they had a good week of practice, but weren’t able to get totally prepared for the game. In a match-up of teal, black and orange, yellow was the predominant color on Friday night. Deer Valley was penalized 11 times (the Pirates drew 13 flags), including the ejection of senior lineman Wesley Faatalale in the third quarter. Near midfield, there was an argument between players from both teams. Faatalale, who removed his helmet, was thrown out after referees discussed the incident for a few minutes. “We had a different team that walked into this locker room; I’m not sure what transpired,” Deer Valley head coach Rich Woods said. “They had no rhythm, and Pittsburg’s a good football team. I don’t think our kids felt that they were going to be that good.” Pittsburg, which advanced to 1-5, racked up 19 unanswered points in the first quarter, putting up a quick distance. Watson finished 6-for-13 passing for 147 yards, two touchdowns and

Mozee made three catches for 111 yards and two touchdowns, also going 3-for-3 under center. Deer Valley got on the board with 6:10 left in the second quarter on a four-yard run by senior halfback Lamontay Marshall, making it 25-6. Another Pittsburg touchdown set the score at 32-6 going into halftime. With less than a minute remaining in the game, the Wolverines gave the crowd something to cheer about. Running

Liberty sinks Heritage Liberty High’s boys water polo team earned a key victory last week in its quest for a Bay Valley Athletic League title, edging rival Heritage 7-5. Lions center defenders Jase Roessler and Alex Soderberg accumulated four steals on the night while JT Sarmento led Liberty’s offense with three goals. Patriot utility man Jackson Bahns scored two goals; Carter Haines and Travis West notched one goal each. Lion head coach Kurt Roessler said he

was proud of the way his defense kept the Heritage shooters under control. The win raised the Lions’ record to 10-6 overall; 5-0 in BVAL play. Liberty faces Deer Valley on the road for the final league game of the season on Wednesday while the Patriots play Freedom in Oakley on Thursday. The Lions’ girls water polo team also came out on top that day, beating Heritage 7-2.

Freedom’s offense continues to improve this year, helping the team to a 4-2 record with a 27-10 victory over Antioch. Falcon sophomore QB Dante Mayes went 12-for-23 passing for 213 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. “Every week, he just gets better and better,” Freedom head coach Kevin Hartwig said. “He’s understanding what’s being asked of him.” Antioch senior quarterback Billy Cloninger also played a good game, racking up a season-high 201 yards through the air, 61 of which came on one pass. The Falcons were without the services of leading runner D’Amora Cooper, who was out with a knee injury, but senior halfback Timazray Shepherd stepped in with 146 rushing yards and a TD. Antioch will celebrate homecoming tonight, facing the 24 Liberty Lions. Freedom will play Deer Valley, which is also 4-2, for its homecoming game.

The recent varsity girls volleyball match between Deer Valley and Liberty was a success for both teams before the first ball was served. It was the third annual Dig for the Cure game, promoting breast cancer awareness. The Lions won 3-2 in action as intense as the players’ desire to support the cancer-awareness cause. The Wolverines hadn’t lost a Bay Valley Athletic League match since 2007, and three games into the Dig for the Cure match, it appeared likely the streak would continue. After dropping the opening game 25-22, Deer Valley came back to win the second and third games by scores of 25-17 and 25-15. Game four was headed down a similar path, as Deer Valley held a 17-12 lead. But a strong run of serves by Liberty sophomore setter and middle blocker Taylor Scriven cut the lead. After the teams went back and forth for a few points, Lion

defensive specialist and junior Taylor Morgan stepped up to the service line trailing 23-21. Her serves ignited the Lions’ comeback – they didn’t drop another point in the fourth game, which they won 25-23. In the fifth and deciding game, the teams traded points to an 8-8 tie. Liberty took a 9-8 lead and never looked back, winning the match 15-11. “Liberty is kind of known to start slow, and we’re always underdogs,” said Liberty head coach Linda Ghilarducci. “We train for the fifth game. We have three- or four-hour practices, so we don’t get tired. Nothing to take away from them – it was an even match. That builds confidence. It’s a nice match and it’s a win both ways.” Deer Valley saw several strong performances in defeat. Seniors Courtney Brown and Keesh Tolentino both made strong serves in the games the Wolverines won. Junior outside hitter Marisa Malone played her strongest game, totaling 13 points. see Charity page 12B

Charity from page 11B The match gave both schools 2-1 records in league play. Deer Valley is 7-14 overall, while Liberty holds a 4-14 record. Both are finding their stride after sub-.500 pre-seasons and aim to regain their reputation as forces to be reckoned with. The two prior Dig for the Cure games raised close to $10,000 and this year’s game promised to at least equal that pace. Both teams wore pink shirts in the pregame warm-ups. Once the game started, Liberty wore pink tops and Deer Valley wore pink shorts. “It’s a way for the kids and us to give back,” said Wolverine head coach Lou Panzella before the match. “We’re friendly rivals. You want to do something in the match that’s important so that people will come to see. I enjoy doing it with Liberty because I know Linda takes it seriously and I know that it’s going to be a pretty good match.” The Dig for the Cure venue alternates between Deer Valley in even-numbered years and Liberty in odd-numbered years. Despite the players’ friendly demeanor and common goal, they strive to match – if not outpace – their opponents’ fundraising totals, which is why the competition continues to intensify with each passing season. “It’s nice to see it grow from where it started for such a good cause,” said Liberty’s senior opposite hitter Chantal Lasher, who has participated in all three annual Dig for the Cure matches. “Every single one of us on the team loves volleyball. We live it and we breathe it. With something as serious as breast cancer, being able to help out with something we love doing is amazing.” Panzella said Deer Valley’s side raised $1,795 for breast cancer research. “Every year,” said Ghilarducci, “I have asked my group how many of them know someone with cancer, and they all raise their hands. So it really hits home for them. The girls really want to do it, too. So I think that it’s exciting.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Top Patriot singles player Arlesha Samuda defeated Freedom’s Nicole Zanarini, while Tisha Cunanan and Allyson Ancheta topped Kristen Quesada and Madison Mills. The Falcons won the other two doubles matches and three more singles games to clinch the victory. Freedom’s Sierra Quinley and Randi Strain beat Kim Vogler and Allysa Ancheta, and Kendall Markham and Amanda Weaver came out on top over Aspen Holden and Kaitlyn Bourque for the two doubles victories. “We always fight for every point and give 110 percent each time, so our motivation is what gets us through every day,” Quesada said.
