Special Kids to get iPads by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer The iPad might be the latest and greatest in electronic gadgetry, but one East County group is hoping Apple’s newest technology is more than a passing fad. Over the next few months, the Special Kids Foundation (SKF) will begin launching the Assistive Technology Assistance Program, a local endeavor designed to provide special-needs students with a fully loaded iPad or iTouch system for use in the classroom. With its user-friendly design and variety of educational applications, the lightweight, easily toteable products seem tailor made for the special-needs population. “Many of our (SKF) members have experienced first hand the amazing advances our children have made with the aid of several of these devices and the applications meant specifically to help them maneuver and communicate in our confusing world,” said Lisa McBride, SKF founder and director. “And now we want to share it with as many students and children as we can.” Across the nation, much of the iPad/iTouch technology has already replaced bulkier laptop computers for special-needs and regular students alike. But for many families and school districts hard hit by the economy, the technology is costprohibitive, and so McBride and her board of directors decided to step up. “We are painfully aware of the major cutbacks in both state and federal programs for special-needs children,” said McBride. “And in

The Special Kids Foundation is launching a technologyassistance program designed to provide iPads and iTouch devices to students with special needs.

order to maintain our vision of educating and supporting those who are most critically hit by these budgetary restrictions, we are allocating a portion of our proceeds to funding the purchase of a number of iTouch and iPad systems, loading them with applications and distributing them to students in need through our loaner program.” Here’s how it works. Children with a communications disability and a school site aide or assistant who can help them with the device at school qualify for the program. The device would be on loan to the students for as long as they continue to benefit from the program, and parents would be required to sign an agreement that the devices would not be used by family members beyond the purposes of educational or communication needs.

Funding for the technology program, said McBride, would come from the SKF’s funds, which are designed to enhance, among other things, the education of East County’s specialneeds population. “We’re excited to be able to do something now to help, and this is the perfect thing,” said McBride. “We can’t wait to get started.

Snuff out smoking Liberty Union High School District’s Tobacco Use Prevention and Education (TUPE) Program has begun holding intervention and cessation classes to educate students about the dangers of using tobacco of any kind. Funded by a grant from the California Department of Education, students share their stories about how tobacco has impacted their families and friends, learn about how the tobacco advertising targets youth, and gather hard facts about tobacco use with instructors from the Center for Human Development. The grant has provided professional development, workshops and training opportunities for teachers, staff and students. Peer education workshops and classes have also begun in the district, which allows students to learn about refusal-skills development, mediation strategies and conflict resolution.

OUTDOORS

Grey unveils gift of the here and now It drifted in like a tide, in silence. I never saw it coming. At dawn I awoke from one dream world only to be seized in the grey and damp grip of another. No caffeine ritual could dispel the effect of this fog; only wind or a searing sun. Or a hike. The steep and TAKE IT narrow snake known UTSIDE as Marsh Creek Road between Brentwood and Mt. Diablo does wonders for a motorist’s attention to the task at hand, even in clear air. In fog, the task is tinged with the flavor of GER fear. Headlights that ERICKSON materialize a mere 40 yards away are powerful deterrents to iPhone/Starbuck’s multitasking. If you’re not alert to the present, your future could be brief. As Steven Wright put it, if everything’s coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane. It was Saturday, Jan. 29. As my car plowed the opaque morning moisture on its way to the mountain, I wondered how my journey on Diablo’s trails would resemble my journey to the trailhead. A hike in the fog can be an exercise in aesthetic awe – or just exercise. When you can’t see more than 40 yards ahead, the assault of a 4,000-foot peak is the scenic equivalent of a traipse down your neighborhood sidewalk. As I motored up into Clayton, the fog’s underbelly began to lift, revealing

A minute later the 1,400-foot knob of Meridian Point came into view, barely beneath the bottom of the fog bank. In the foreground, Donner Canyon’s oak-clad contours lay half-

cloaked in a gossamer veil. I struck out south on Donner Canyon Road and swung up Meridian Ridge toward the 3,000-foot crest of Bald Ridge, where I’d take stock of the atmosphere and head up to the Summit or back down by way of North

FEBRUARY 4, 2011

Outside from page 6A how it goes: the fog ahead seems blindingly solid. But with each step through it, you’re able to resolve nearby images with surprising clarity. As I climbed the narrow spine of Meridian Ridge, the canyons called Donner and Back Creek to my left and right faded into haze below. Above, the fog thinned and Bald Ridge came into focus. Suddenly I was transported from the now of nearby images to the then of a smoky height – an object one mile, one thousand feet of elevation and onehalf hour in my future. Tendrils of fog lacing the ridge’s northern face like steam from a kettle swirled and coalesced into waves. A northeast breeze drove the waves up to the crest, where they collided with a southwest wind streaming in from the ocean and shattered like breakers against coastal cliffs. Just as suddenly a tsunami of fog washed over the ridge and the vision vanished. I was alone again in the company of objects small and nearby – sage and chamise, clusters of bell-shaped blossoms dotting manzanita branches like snow – objects I could reach out and touch, objects whose scent I could catch if I paused long enough to accept the gift of the fog: the eternal here and now. I never made it to the mountaintop. Brief glances through gashes in the ashen gauze crystallized the fact that no grand vistas would be commandeered today. Ransome Point, 400 feet beneath the Summit, was smothered. North Peak was nowhere. I was condemned to embrace the proximate and the present – a fitting sentence for one who spends an alarming share of his

energy inhabiting an imagined future. I mark my calendar, set my alarm and turn my gaze upward and outward, confident the river of time will deliver me to my destination, if not my destiny. On my traverse down North Peak I came across a boulder robed in mosses of dense and deep green flecked with tiny ferns. What archipelagos, I wondered, what continents, what worlds of strange and tireless life grace the boulders of this one mountain in Northern California? There isn’t enough time in the lifespan of our universe to exhaust the marvels of this one place. There isn’t enough future, I thought – and caught myself straining once again to imagine an existence on the far side of the fog. No, it was more than enough to have seen less than enough. Farther down the mountain I crossed paths with a pair of hikers on the way up. It was their first time on these trails and they were lost, oblivious of the rough road ahead. I chimed in with factoids – distance, elevation, terrain – but recalling the mosses, reliving the vision of a vapor-wreathed ridge, I offered no advice. Despite my knowledge of precisely where I stood and where I was going, I was lost, too. “You won’t see anything from the peak past 40 yards,” I told the lead hiker. “That’s OK. It’s a good day to be out here,” she said. “Knowing where you’re going takes all the mystery out of life.” I pinched the brim of my hat, they waved, and the three of us disappeared into the mist.

I’LL REVIEW YOUR LOAN MOD FOR FREE! I’d like to offer a free service to the community, if it’s of benefit to any of you. I’m willing to review any loan modification offer you receive from your lender. They can be quite confusing. I’ve reviewed quite a few already, so I’m pretty comfortable deciphering them. If you bring your loan modification papers to me, I promise not to try to “sell” you anything. I’ll just give you my honest opinion about whether you should move forward with the proposed loan modification, or refuse it and keep negotiating. We’ll sit down and go over your budget and see how this new loan fits into it. I’ve seen many loan modifications where the borrower is WORSE off after the modification, and that makes no sense. In other cases, the loan modification truly is the answer to your mortgage situation, and if so, I’ll tell you. One of the first things we need to determine is whether this is a permanent modification, or just a temporary one. I’ve seen many loan modifications that are only for a year or two, and then they bounce right

back up to what it is now. If you are experiencing a temporary drop in income, this may be acceptable to you. Another key component is whether the modification is truly dropping your effective interest rate, or are they only dropping the payment, and all the interest that’s not being paid is being tacked onto your balance. Lastly, we’ll discuss the pros and cons of modifications that drop your interest rate instead of dropping your principal balance. I’ve had many clients tell me unconditionally that they won’t accept a loan mod unless the lender drops their balance. I’ve done a lot of research on this topic, and my conclusion may surprise you. (By the way, if you are currently working with another real estate agent, I won’t be able to review your mod for you as it would be interfering with that relationship.) If you have questions on this or any other real estate topic, call me at (925) 240MOVE (6683). To search the MLS for free and view virtual tours of homes for sale, go to: www.SharpHomesOnline.com.

Falcons help teens in need by Samie Hartley Staff Writer

In an effort to raise awareness of teen homelessness, students at Freedom High are teaming up with Aéropostale stores and DoSomething.org for the fourth annual Teens For Jeans charity drive. High school students across the country are joining the project, gathering gently used jeans to be donated to homeless teens in their communities. In Oakley, Freedom students will be collecting jeans through Sunday, Feb. 13. The jeans (which needn’t carry the Aéropostale brand) will be donated to local shelters. Freedom Activities Coordinator Dana Johnston said Aéropostale approached the school about joining the project, and the students were anxious to take part: “I think one of the strengths we have at Freedom is that our students always want to help out the community at school and in town.” According to the National Coalition for the Homeless, one out of every three homeless people are under the age of 18. The organization estimates that 1.6 to 1.7 million teens are homeless every year. Aéropostale Senior Vice President of Marketing Scott Birnbaum said the clothing company was happy to join the effort for the fourth year: “In 2008, Teens for Jeans started as a simple idea to enable teens to donate in their local communities.

Three years later, it is a national campaign poised to collect its one millionth pair of jeans for homeless teens. “This initiative has raised awareness of the homeless epidemic and provided jeans to teens in need in every state and throughout Canada and Puerto Rico. Aéropostale is proud to support the fight against teen homelessness.” “We are incredibly excited to partner with Aéropostale again this year for the annual Teens for Jeans campaign,” said DoSomething.org’s Business Development Representative Brittany Castaneda. “This campaign is really what DoSomething.org is all about – teens joining a huge movement while helping real people

right in their own communities.” Schools whose students gather more than 500 pairs of jeans receive a banner for their school and recognition on the Teens for Jeans website. The school that collects the most jeans will receive $5,000 and a party will be held on campus for all the students. Aéropostale is located at The Streets of Brentwood, 2565 Sand Creek Road, Suite C4, between Mainland Skate and Surf and dELiA*s. All community donations are welcome. Participants who bring in a pair of jeans will receive 25 percent off their next purchase of Aéro jeans. For more information, visit www. teensforjeans.org.

Resignation opens Oakley school board seat Andrew Coffman, seen here with son Grady, resigned this week from the Oakley Union Elementary School District. The district board is now accepting applications to fill the empty seat on the five-member board. Press file photo

by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer The Oakley Union Elementary School District (OUESD) is currently accepting applications to fill an open seat on the district’s governing board, following the resignation this week of trustee Andrew Coffman. Coffman, who ran unopposed for one of three empty seats on the board of trustees in November, resigned Feb. 3, citing personal reasons. The Oakley resident, who has been working out of state since becoming a member of the school board, said that due to the circumstances of his job, he believed it was in the best interest of the board – and the district – to step aside. “Because of the issues the board is facing at this time, mainly its fiscal ones, they need a full board right now,” said Coffman. “I am disappointed, but I can still attend board meetings and remain active in the district.” OUESD Superintendent Rick Rogers said the district was sorry to lose its newest board member, but understood his decision and wished him well. “We’re sorry it didn’t work out with Mr. Coffman,” said Rogers. “But to his credit he recognized that it was in the best interest of the district to resign from his position and take care of his personal business.”

The board will now seek to fill Coffman’s position by appointment, which by law must be made within the next 60 days, although Rogers said the board hoped to make a decision by early March. In the event there are no applications for the seat, the district must hold a special election. “I don’t see that happening,” said Rogers. “We’ve had vacancies in the past due to resignations and we’ve always be able to fill them. I expect we will get some great, qualified folks interested in the school district and the board, applying for the seat.” In the meantime it will be business as usual for the remaining four board members, who can still operate with a quorum or a unanimous vote in the event only three members are present. Those interested in running for a seat on the OUESD board should submit their applications to the district office by Feb. 25. Qualified applicants must be residents of Oakley and registered voters. The appointment will run through the end of Coffman’s term, November of 2012. The OUESD board meets at 7 p.m. on the third Wednesday of the month at the library at O’Hara Park Middle School, 1100 O’Hara Avenue. The OUESD office is located 91 Mercedes Lane. For additional information, call 925-625-0700. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Can’t Afford Your Real Property Taxes? by Joan Grimes, Esq. As the mortgage crisis enters its third year and unemployment rises above 10% in many areas of California, more and more people are unable to pay their property taxes. If you are in default on your property taxes or considering a default, here is the law you should know. First, property taxes are a secured claim against the real property. They are not a personal debt and there is no criminal penalty if you cannot pay your property taxes. If your home forecloses and there are delinquent property taxes at the time of the sale, it will not follow you. Therefore, if you do not have the money to pay the taxes, do not borrow the money from a credit card or 401k account/ 401k loan to make the payment. In the event the home is lost in a foreclosure and you borrowed the money, you will still be required to repay the credit card debt (even potentially in bankruptcy because taxes paid with a credit card may be non-dischargeable) or through the 401k loan. Second, if you cannot pay your property taxes when due, the County cannot immediately foreclose on your property. In fact, it is very rare for a county to foreclose on real property for non-payment. In most places in California, real property must remains in tax defaulted status for five or more years before it will become subject to the Tax Collector’s power of sale. Third, if you cannot afford to pay your property taxes, you have several options. A good option is to enter into an Installment Plan of Redemption which is a 5 year plan that allows a taxpayer to pay defaulted taxes in five installments. However, prior to applying for an Installment Plan you should contact your mortgage lender to make sure they will allow the payment plan to pay taxes in default. Sometimes, mortgage lender will automatically advance for the past due taxes and establish an impound account for past due taxes and as well as establishing an impound account for future taxes

and insurance. The negative consequence of a lender paying the taxes is that they usually require the past due taxes to be repaid over 1 year versus the 5 years allowed by the County. However, the positive consequence is that the accrual of interest by the County is stopped and if you qualify for a loan modification, the past due taxes are in most instances paid through the modification. Another option is to see if you qualify for tax payer assistance. The common form of assistance is through the Property Tax Postponement for Senior, blind and disabled persons which allows qualified homeowners to postpone payment of all or a portion of the property tax due on their home. Fourth, make sure your property is being taxed at the it’s current fair market value. If you feel that your current assessed value is not the current market value, you may request a review by the County. This process is commonly referred to as a Proposition 8 review. In conclusion, there is no free lunch if you are late on your property taxes. However, there are options available to you. This is a complicated area of the law. You are in the deep end of the pool. Do not swim alone. The buddy system is essential. Seek a buddy in legal counsel prior to taking any action.

Fire district keeps appointed board by Rick Lemyre

(Oakley) said that although establishing an elected board was discussed at length, nothing in the district’s formation documents “dictates, asks or even suggests� that an elected board was required. Vince Wells, the president of firefighter union Local 1230, said he also believes pursuing both goals simultaneously is a bad idea. He asked the board to either go after the assessment or the elected board first. That strategy would reduce confusion, he said, and give the board the ability to frame the tax issue carefully enough to increase its chances of success. The board agreed to continue its work on solving the financial crisis, and if the assessment is passed, to immediately begin the process of installing an elected board. The decision was partly due to the current board’s reluctance to pass the crisis along to another group of people, who would then need to get ramped up on the issues even as the district’s financial house collapsed. “That’s a little frightening,� said Pat Anderson (Oakley). “I don’t want to pass this along. I’m not done trying to make this work.� The board will meet again next week to further discuss the details of the needed revenue enhancement. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Staff Writer The East Contra Costa Fire Protection District has decided to focus its efforts on raising money, and put a move to an elected board on the back burner for now. The cash-strapped district is currently operating at a $2 million annual deficit, spending reserves to augment its $12 million annual budget. The district is forecast to run out of money in 2012 unless voters agree to pay more. Last month, the board discussed possible revenue enhancements and is leaning toward establishing a benefit assessment district, which is expected to be the subject of an election by mail in June. The details of the assessment are still being worked out. The current board took control of the district from the County Board of Supervisors (BOS) last January. In addition to putting the district on a solid financial footing, one of the goals discussed at the time was to have the board of directors elected by district residents. The current board is made up of nine members appointed by local city councils and the BOS: four directors from Brentwood, three from Oakley and two from the unincorporated areas of far East County (currently, residents of Bethel Island and Discovery Bay).

ECCFPD Director Jim Frazier On Monday, virtually every director said that while willing to relinquish his or her seat to a directly elected member, now is not the time to pursue that plan. “The issue right now isn’t that this board isn’t being run right; it’s that we have a revenue problem,� said Director Jim Frazier, also the mayor of Oakley. “How does spending taxpayer’s money (on a board election) help with the budget?� Moving to an elected board would cost up to $190,000 and require two elections. The first would ask residents if they want an elected board. Following voter approval, the second election would choose the directors. Election law timelines would require the first vote to come before the vote on an assessment. The vote to elect the directors would come after the assessment vote, leaving open the possibility that, if the tax were rejected, new directors with little background on the district would

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage Matters NASCAR Have you ever wondered just what it takes to become a NASCAR driver? I have. Before doing my research I thought, “Just how hard can it be to hold the pedal to the floor and the wheel to the left?� Well, as it turns out there is much more to the competitive sport and NASCAR has truly evolved from its down south origins: a disorganized competitive outlet for illegal whiskey traffickers in the south, where guys honed their driving skills by evading law enforcement and tax collectors. Drivers in the twenty first century have to be in excellent physical condition, intelligent enough to communicate with their crew, and dedicated enough to excel in many lower levels – the Busch Cup and the Nationwide Series – before being allowed to compete at NASCAR’s highest level, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. So just like NASCAR wouldn’t allow a Busch Cup driver onto a super speed way such as Daytona for a Sprint Cup Series race, you shouldn’t let a bank teller, or a bank’s registered loan officer into the driver’s seat of your home’s financial future. A bank’s registered loan officer, in the mortgage world, is equivalent to a Busch Cup driver. They go through routine background checks – preformed by the bank they work for – and that’s it. It is as simple as “today’s rate is xyz.� They handle your mortgage, your bank account(s), and in some cases your car loan. That would be as if a stock car driver was responsible for

driving the car, wrenching on the car, and at the same time somehow maintaining his or her own lap times. Although they could be great at what they do, overall they are still learning their craft and do not dedicate 100% of their focus on the home loan side of things. On the other hand, a licensed mortgage loan originator could be compared to a Sprint Cup Series caliper driver. They have put their time in, taken on an extensive program to earn their credentials, and truly earned the privilege of assisting with your mortgage. They’re required to take on twenty hours of nationally sanctioned classes, pass a national exam and a separate state exam, as well as subject themselves to a FBI criminal background check. From there an annual credit report is pulled to ensure they’re not mishandling their own credit and they’re listed on a national website for all consumers to see. Overall they truly respect you, the consumer, their profession, and themselves. To check the track record of your mortgage loan originator visit www. nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

immediately be faced with a broken financial picture and bleak prospects for fixing it. Directors Chris Finetti (Discovery Bay) and Bob Brockman (Brentwood) noted that the intention to institute an elected board had been a major point as the district’s current administrative setup was being crafted. Finetti also said he did not feel the current arrangement served the unincorporated areas of the district well, and was hopeful that a reconstituted board, perhaps with fewer directors, might be better. But with the anticipated difficulty of convincing district residents to pass an additional assessment, coupled with the possibility that a statewide tax measure would also soon be put to a vote, the directors reached a consensus that a two-part board election would create confusion and diminish the prospects of a successful vote on an assessment.

Editor: It’s been almost four months since the Antioch school board election, where candidates ran on a transparency-ofgovernment platforms, and yet there has not been any effort to put the budget up on the website of the district or publish it in the local press. The parents and taxpayers need to see how this budget will affect their students and what services may not be available. The board of education will be making cuts to cover a deficit. Wouldn’t it be interesting to see how public input would influence those decisions, since they were elected and responsible to the public? Openness would allow all sides to see what there is to work with and together agree on solutions to fix it. Jack Yeager Antioch

Control crime, not guns

Editor: We do not need more gun control laws. What we need is more punishment for those that use guns in crimes. Why punish the law-abiding citizens? Criminals do not obey the law anyhow, hence the name, so how is one more law, or a dozen more laws, going to do anything to prevent a criminal act? 13,400 convicted felons will be released early from prison into society between now and the end of 2011. Since 2009, over 1,000 police officers have been laid off due to budget cuts. More will follow this year. Police are overworked and spread too thin to help. They will only be there to draw the white line around your body and write the report. As good as they are, they cannot be everywhere. That they are not duty-bound to protect you is another issue. Yes, you read that right. The police do not have a duty to protect you. The Supreme Court has ruled many times. No one wants a felon or a crazed person to get a gun. But they will always be

able to get one. No amount of gun control will stop this fact. Now is not the time to take the power away from the law-abiding citizen to protect him/herself. Crime control, not gun control. Dale Paris Oakley President, Contra Costa Open Carry

Pope’s a prince

Editor: Oakley has the best city council! And our newest councilmember, Randy Pope, is one of the best. We moved to Oakley a little over a year ago, purchasing a house along Marsh Creek Trail, south of Laurel Road and directly across from Creekside Park. The house had an anomaly – our backyard fence (and that of a few neighbors) bowed inward toward our houses, rather than running parallel alongside the trail. The inward jutting of our backyard fences (with the apex ending directly in our backyard) decreased all of our backyard spaces, and resulted in an abandoned 2,500-square-foot triangular piece of weed-filled land between our backyards and the trail. Why was this ugly unused fenced-off area intruding into what should have been our backyards? No one knew, and no one knew who owned this piece of land. We finally discovered that the City of Oakley owned it – it was “orphaned” some 50 years ago, after the City bought Creekside Park (on the west) and the Flood Control District took control of the creek and trail land that ran through the east side. The leftover triangular remnant east of the creek was promptly forgotten by all. We told the city that the homeowners wanted to purchase it and extend their backyards to the trail (like all the other houses). The city agreed to sell it to us, but then the Flood Control District asserted rights to it, and the city told us we couldn’t have it. That’s when Councilman Pope stepped in to help the homeowners. Randy Pope had just been elected to the City Council when we first contacted

him. He immediately responded to our email and agreed to meet with us. We asked if he would accompany us to a meeting we set up with Flood Control, and he said yes! He came to the meeting and spoke forcefully on behalf of the homeowners. Flood Control was still being resistant, so Councilman Pope suggested we talk with the other City Council members to solicit their support. We sent out e-mails to the other councilmembers, and then met personally with both Mayor Jim Frazier and former Mayor Pat Anderson. Both offered suggestions and support for us. With three councilmembers now supporting the homeowners, and talking to both the city manager and the Flood Control District, the Flood Control District decided to forgo its position and allow the homeowners to purchase the land behind their backyards. This would not have happened without the immediate attention and support of our terrific City Council members: Jim Frazier, Pat Anderson and spearheaded by Randy Pope. We are new to Oakley, and didn’t know any of these people – they just jumped in when we asked for help, and got the job done for the homeowners. Oakley is a wonderful city, and we are all very fortunate to have such a terrific group of City Council members, including our newest member, councilman Randy Pope. Susan Morgan Oakley

Viral canine column

Editor: Last month I shared a bone of contention about increasing numbers of unleashed dogs roaming about. I was surprised by the number of national pet publications that picked up the column. I was even more surprised by the numbers of people who took the effort of digging up my contact information to call or e-mail me their own canine confessions. Seems the story hit a collective nerve. Frankly, it reminds me of the time my car was stolen from my driveway. As a Good Samaritan I went around several

blocks of the neighborhood warning neighbors to be on guard. I was amazed to discover just how many others had had their vehicles likewise stolen. Seems, too, dog attacks are more commonplace than I would have imagined. Sadly, some folks even told me they now hesitate walking their own neighborhoods. Here’s some newly garnered tips sent to me. A number of dog owners claimed that their pets had been saved from possible demise by leather or nylon collars that impeded a deadly neck hold. One fellow suggested carrying a lighter, which, guaranteed, will send any creature, four legged or two legged, running. For the tender amongst you, there is the ultrasound dazer, which works at 15 feet and leaves no permanent harm. Disclaimer, though: even the ads disclose that they don’t work with all dogs, including deaf, docile, infirm and highly trained ones. Note, I previously mentioned the idea of carrying an expandable billy club. I heard, though, from a police officer that they are legal in 49 other states but are not sold in California. I also would like to clarify that pepper spray is limited to 3 ounces of individual possession, which might be a limited amount if you got attacked by a pack. Incidentally, one person related the story of a pit bull springing from a group of drifters hanging out behind the gas station adjacent to Starbucks on A Street. The dog had seized his pet’s neck and was close to a kill before the owner was able to unload his can of mace pepper gel. The attacker went scurrying. It was grabbed by the vagrants, who hastily jumped into a truck and sped off. Interestingly, this fellow had used pepper gel twice on humans; once with a mugger and once when he interrupted a teen who was attacking an Oakland librarian. Feeling squeamish? I assure you, the discomfort of analyzing protection strategies is tame compared to seeing your beloved pet, or your own fond body, torn to shreds. An ounce of prevention – or in the case of spray, 3 – is worth a pound of cure. Walter Ruehlig Antioch

I noticed the other day that a rather large corporation had “gone under” leaving thousands of people unemployed. Most of the people will find jobs elsewhere, but will probably not be doing the same job. However, there are a select few who while working develop a special set of skills, or specific knowledge about their employer. Where can these people go and what can they take with them? There are some basic rules that everyone in this situation should know. There are two distinct sets of laws that affect what is legal and what is not. The first set of laws relate to whether or not an employee can compete against his previous employer. The laws in each state can be different, but in California, there is a strong public policy for “gainful employment”, and recent high court cases have stated that as a matter of course, you can quit one day or be terminated, and start your own business or work for someone else the next. You cannot solicit your friends to come with you until after you have left your employment. You must not contact your friends during work hours. Finally, if your employer is willing to pay you a salary comparable to what you were earning with them, then as long as you accept that money after you are gone, your non-competition agreement with your previous employer is valid. The second set of laws relate to “intellectual property.” This includes trade secrets, special processes, procedures and customer data bases among other things. You have the right to use your previous employer’s customer data base to make “an announcement” of your new place of employment. There are severe restrictions on

Antioch wastewater C staff recognized Delta Diablo Sanitation District (DDSD) has announced that two of its operations staff have been honored as outstanding wastewater professionals in the San Francisco Bay Area by the California Water Environment Association. Juan Arevalo, a member of the DDSD team since 2007, was presented with the 2010 Operator of the Year Award for outstanding performance in the field of wastewater plant operations. He was specifically recognized for his role drafting new Standard Operating Procedures for training purposes, ensuring consistency in the operation of the wastewater treatment plant – the lead role he took in

DDSD’s internship program, which provides real-world experiences to complement the academic training received in the classroom. Arevalo also undertook complex work on the computerized Supervisory Control and Data System, which had developed flaws leading to several false alarms. Joaquin Gonzalez, an 18-year employee at DDSD, was named Supervisor of the Year. Responsible for scheduling and planning all work tasks and coordinating maintenance repairs by DDSD’s 15 operations staff, Gonzalez’s win reflects his collaborative leadership style of promoting teamwork before personal aspirations.

“Anytime we can return money to the residents of District 5, that’s good,” said Supervisor Federal Glover. “Tax refunds can act as our own economic stimulus.” A report presented Jan. 25 to the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors stated that communities such as Pittsburg could get an infusion of about $6 million in refunds. To help people with their income tax forms, five Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites will be available for all East Contra Costa County residents in order to raise awareness for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Every year, California fails to claim more than $1.2 billion EITC dollars that can contribute to increased economic activity and the creation of thousands of jobs. There is also the I-CAN program, a do-it-yourself software program that lowincome taxpayers can use for free. A study entitled Left on the Table in Contra Costa County, commissioned by the Family Economic Security Partnership and prepared by Dr. Antonio Avalos of the California State University in Fresno, estimated that Contra Costa County residents claimed more than $77 million in EITC payments in 2007. However, the study also found that

Road Plan from page 1A eBART station at Hillcrest Road in Antioch. Pittsburg Assistant City Manager Joe Sbranti said at that meeting that the proposed fee program should be a valid substitute, as it was based on ECCRFFA standards and is identical to the regional program. Sbranti sent a letter on Jan. 27 to TRANSPLAN officials, noting that he would like to continue working amicably with the committee despite his city’s withdrawal from ECCRFFA. Pittsburg’s membership in the authority began in August of 1994. “It has the exact same list of 26 projects that all of us here have a goal of getting completed,” Sbranti said, pitching his city’s funding plan. “Every dollar that comes into Pittsburg’s regional fee, just like every dollar that comes into ECCRFFA’s regional fee, must be spent on those projects. There’s no question that that is exactly what Pittsburg’s intention is.” TRANSPLAN members worried that splitting off would weaken the overall strength of the committee. Joseph Weber, the TRANSPLAN representative from the Brentwood Planning Commission, pointed out that all four cities have worked well together in the past and this schism could cause major trouble down the road. He felt that it would be a “grave mistake” for Pittsburg to operate on an independent funding source yet still contribute to a regional decision-making board. Brentwood Mayor Bob Taylor echoed Weber’s feelings, fearing that if Pittsburg splits, conflicting motivations could arise on the committee. “We’ve been working on this a long time,” Taylor said. “There

Suicide from page 3A depressed doesn’t mean they’re not feeling pressured and anxious. It’s important that kids have an outlet, a person to confide in, whether it’s a family member, a friend, teacher or counselor. Despite the stigma associated with counseling and therapy, Taylor said some teens need to speak with a professional to help them work through their feelings and stress. A few sessions might help start the teen on a new path, or it might be that the young adult needs medication or a more specific form of treatment. Colton Fink, 15, the Freedom sophomore who committed suicide on Jan. 17 and prompted Monday’s gathering, was battling a mental illness. Colton’s aunt Jennie Gisslow posted on the Facebook page We Love You Colton Fink R.I.P. that Colton suffered from rapid-cycling bipolar disorder. He thought that ending his life was the best way to protect those he loved. Gisslow wrote, “(The disease) escalated into paranoia and violence. By taking his life, it was an act of utter love, to save those around him from further hurt and harm.” According to a 2007 study by the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control’s Division of Violence Prevention, 28 percent of teenagers considered suicide during a 12-month period, 22 percent planned a suicide and 13 percent attempted suicide. The study also found that teenage girls are more likely to consider suicide,

is a voice and a power in all together and one for all. If we break into segments, we become weaker. After much thought, I appreciate everything Pittsburg is trying to do, but I think we could have our own agendas. … I think we need to be together.” Contra Costa County District 5 Supervisor Federal Glover has a similar view. “We knew a number of years back that the only way we were going to be successful is to speak with one force,” he said. “It was very difficult to get to that place where we could agree on some concepts to get us moving and to bring revenue in.” According to TRANSPLAN documents, the widening of Highway 4 – estimated at $705.9 million – is the committee’s top priority at the moment. The first project exclusive to Pittsburg isn’t found until No. 14 on the list, a widening of California Avenue, estimated at $19.8 million. Work on the Pittsburg-Antioch Highway, a $13 million project, is No. 12 on the list. “You have three voters who vote on these projects – we have one,” Pittsburg City Councilman Ben Johnson said. “We talk about regional camaraderie. Well, the regional camaraderie is three cities to the east of us that get to vote and they have the votes to make whatever changes they want to make. Pittsburg doesn’t have the vote to do that. We’re here. We want to work together as a team, but the bottom line is, we don’t see the money.” Pittsburg officials such as Sbranti would like to see the major project of a Buchanan Road Bypass bumped up toward the front of the line. After the Highway 4 widening and Bypass projects, other improvements projected in-

citing that 18.7 percent of girls polled said they’d thought about suicide while only 10.3 percent of boys considered it. Taylor advised parents to look for warning signs in order to intervene before it’s too late. Teens considering suicide are often depressed, irritable, aggressive and display sudden changes in behavior. A teen suddenly losing interest in hobbies or friends, dressing and acting differently and talking pessimistically about life and the future, focusing on assumed worthlessness and hopelessness, is waving a big red flag that shouldn’t be ignored. Teens planning to attempt suicide will often give away prized possessions as a way to “settle their affairs” and say a final goodbye. Taylor said this behavior should not be ignored. Many attendees of the seminar expressed gratitude for the information. “I just want to thank you for this information,” one parent said during the questionand-answer session. “This is all stuff we’ve heard before, but we don’t always internalize it and realize what types of stresses our kids are dealing with every day. We do need to trust our intuition and take that extra step to make sure that we are connecting with our kids and reassuring them that we are here to help them.” For more information about how to prevent teen suicide, visit www.crisis.center.org.

Walker said that Pittsburg Unified School District, as well as Stockton Unified School District and a district in San Jose are interested in Parents Connected. “When I was in school, I didn’t know these things that I’m teaching students now,” Walker said. “I didn’t want them to go through the same things I went through.

I thought they were all the same.” The next Parents Connected event is Middle School Night, held Feb. 23 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Antioch High, 700 W. 18th St. Cal State East Bay counselor Marc Strong will lead a presentation showing parents how to prepare for the important ACT and SAT exams, and explore financial aid and planning for a college future.

Fong a force in the paint for Liberty by Michael Dixon Correspondent Last season, Liberty High’s girls varsity basketball team reached the second round of the North Coast Section playoffs and finished the season 19-9. The Lions were also left with a big hole in the middle, as 6-foot4-inch Bay Valley Athletic League MVP Corinne Costa is now playing at UCLA. Junior center Bernadette Fong has stepped up this season to fill the void left by Costa. As a sophomore, the 6-2 Fong was a key part of the team, averaging 10 points and six rebounds per game. Without Costa, Fong has increased her production, averaging 14 points and 10 rebounds, plus one block and one steal, per contest. “From the moment Corinne graduated, we’ve been talking about what (Fong) needed to do,” said Liberty head coach Debbi Weil. “She didn’t have shoes to fill because they’re different players. But her maturity on the court was going to be very key this year, and she has done a great job with that.” Through their Jan. 28 victory over Antioch, the Lions are 12-8 overall and 22 in league. While Liberty runs a balanced attack, Fong is the offense’s focal point. In the Lions’ win over Freedom, she scored 18 and topped that with 23 in a win against Antioch. In a loss to Heritage, she was held to nine. Fong’s goal is to play college basketball, although she, her coach and teammates

agree that to reach that level – and excel – she needs to improve her cardio and stay out of foul trouble early in the game. “I definitely want to cut down on getting in foul trouble,” Fong said, noting that success at her strong suit – defense – is dependent on good conditioning. “If I wasn’t as tired,” she said, “I wouldn’t commit as many fouls.” In the recent West Coast Jamboree, Fong was named Diamond Division MVP. She averaged more than 19 points and 13 rebounds over four games and led the team to the Diamond Division title. Included in that was a dominant 21-point, 23-rebound performance in a 43-39 come-from-behind victory against Amador Valley in the semifinals. On the court, Fong is a strong, intense player who pushes her teammates and herself to play their very best – so much so that her coaches worry that she allows frustration to affect her play. Off the court, her teammates and friends label Fong a nice girl and easy to get along with. “I don’t know how to say it, but she’s just Bernadette,” said senior guard Gabrielle Worley. “There are a lot of good things I can say about her; I just can’t put it into words. She’s just a really good friend – she’s my best friend.” Fong gets her strength on and off of the court from her mother, Joachina Fong. Joachina, as well as Fong’s cousin Brittany Harris attend every game. Whether the Li-

ons are blowing out their opponent, suffering a tough loss, or anything between, Fong’s family members aren’t shy about making their presence known. “They’re my biggest fans,” said Fong. “My mom has been a backbone and a rock. Without her, I wouldn’t be what I am.” While Fong’s size goes a long way to-

ward making her a force on the court, she has been playing the game only since seventh grade. “She’s gotten stronger,” said junior guard Kelsey Hickman, who played on the junior varsity team last year but teamed with Fong as a freshman. “She encourages everyone; she pushes everyone. She always tries her hardest.”

Shorthanded Wolverines ride second half to win by Michael Dixon Correspondent Deer Valley’s boys varsity basketball team started Friday’s game against defending Bay Valley Athletic League champion Heritage shorthanded. Their top scorer and top assist man, junior guards Olajuwon Garner and Charles Smith, were both declared ineligible. The other Wolverines picked up the slack, though, routing the Patriots 70-43. Senior center Andre McPhail led all Deer Valley scorers with 13. Joining him in double digits were sophomore guard Kendall Smith and junior guard Dylan Williams, who netted 12 each. Senior forward Obah Pope chipped in for 11 of his own. “Considering the circumstances, I liked the effort,” said Wolverines head coach LeChet Phillips. “We had to adjust, missing two starters in our backcourt.” Fans who left after the first quarter might have been surprised to learn that Deer Valley won – and certainly surprised at the Wolverines’ 70-point explosion. The Patriots led 13-9 after one quarter and made it

hard for the Wolverines to connect on their passes. By halftime, however, Deer Valley led 29-21. Three-pointers accounted for all 12 of Williams’ points. The two he made in the second quarter helped give the Wolverines some breathing room. Another part of Deer Valley’s sluggish start was a 1-for-10 performance from the free-throw line in the first half. The Wolverines settled down in the second half, sinking 10 of 15 from the charity stripe and five of seven in the final quarter. Phillips acknowledged the poor free-throw shooting, calling it a work in progress. The fourth quarter was where the game was put away, as the Wolverines outscored the Patriots 24-8. Heritage senior guard Dorian Hardy matched McPhail’s 13 points, but none of Hardy’s teammates got to double-digits. Senior swingman Kyle Reynolds was second on the team with nine. “It was a good comeback,” said McPhail. “Everybody played as a team; everybody was unselfish and tried to make everyone better. We need that the whole season. They were the league champions last year. With them coming in here, we knew we had to play strong.” Entering the week, every team in the Bay Valley Athletic League was 1-1. The loss dropped Heritage to 2-2 in league and 12-8 overall. Deer Valley, 2-0 on the week, owns a 3-1 league record and 14-5 overall. “It should be 4-0. We had a little slip-up, but we learned from that,” said McPhail, alluding to his team’s 74-71 loss against a sub.500 Pittsburg team. “We’ve had a couple of slip-ups; they humbled us. We need to come back from them, get it rolling right off the bat, and blow out a team – early.” The night wasn’t a complete loss for Heritage. The junior varsity squad won a 59-56 thriller, climaxing in a Wolverines three-point, game-tying attempt that hit the rim but didn’t fall. The Patriots Ethan Magalei led all scorers; Robert Bershell topped the Wolverines.

Deer Valley’s Marcus Lee preps for a two-handed jam in the first quarter of Friday’s win over Heritage.

Senior guard Andrew Gardner contributed 16 to the Falcons’ high-scoring effort. Pirates junior forward Juwan Blakely led his team with 18 points. Randal Gory, a junior guard, came through with 17. Pittsburg’s

but the Colts battled back, eventually leading 3-2. The Patriots showed a lot of heart, James said, by knotting it up with a late goal. Even more impressive is the diversity of the Heritage roster. A good mix of underclassmen and upperclassmen puts the Patriots in position to succeed not just this season, but the next few. Senior midfielder Ari Gordon and sophomore forward Jamie Baron started the week leading the team with eight goals each. Augmenting the offense are junior forward Maggie Clancy’s team-high five assists and freshman midfielder Kylee Smith, senior fullback Chelsey McDonald and Griggs’ four assists. Through the first 17 games, Heritage has only allowed 10 goals, a testament to the quality of work put in by Barsanti and the rest of the Patriots defense. “I feel like we’ve really meshed together as a team,” Baron said. “Older girls are teaching younger girls and the younger girls are learning from the older girls. Even though the older girls have more experience, the younger girls still have a lot of talent. We have a lot of raw talent on the team; it’s just a matter of developing it.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

at state, this time in the 175-pound division. “He could barely walk on it,” Chappel said. “We taped him up from groin to ankle and he wrestled the rest of his matches.” After graduating from Chico State, Darone took a job as the freelance wrestling coach at Pittsburg, leading a group of wrestlers in the offseason. It was there that Darone said he started to enjoy coaching wrestling. He kept in constant contact with Chappel, who gladly taught his former student the ropes. Later, Darone took over a struggling team at Mt. Diablo, building it into a more successful program. He coached there for 13 years, but after a while, he sought change. Chappel told him about job openings at Pittsburg and Deer Valley. “When he started (at Mt. Diablo), there was nothing,” Chappel said. “I wouldn’t doubt that in four, maybe five years that (Pittsburg) could be real competitive.” Darone credited Chappel with teaching him how to effectively run a program. He’s brought that framework to Pittsburg, where he hopes to give his old coach a run for his money sometime soon. Progress is coming slowly. Though they lost to Liberty, the Pirates beat Deer Valley for the first time in six years and battled in a close loss to Freedom. Seniors such as 137-pound Victor Tiscareno and 147-pound Nemo Taylor have been leading the team. “He’s still my mentor,” Darone said. “Whatever I’ve learned from him, I’m going to try and teach the high school wrestlers.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Heritage had trouble stopping Deer Valley’s Raven Fox last week, as the senior guard led the Wolverines to a victory over the Patriots.

DV rises above Pats by Justin Lafferty Staff Writer In a matchup of first-year girls varsity basketball head coaches, Deer Valley’s Mark Anger showed why his team has usually been the cream of the Bay Valley Athletic League crop. A few feet away, Heritage’s Lexy Tamony watched as the Wolverines performed like she someday hopes her Patriots will. Facing a scrappy, sophomore-heavy Heritage team on Friday night, Deer Valley came out hot in the second half en route to a 71-57 victory. The Wolverines, up by three at halftime, went on a 23-2 run in the third quarter to cement their victory.

“We went out, we rebounded the ball much better, sent a bunch of kids to the glass and then we started getting out and running,” Anger said. “When we get out and run, we’re pretty good.” In the first half, the Patriots had no answer for the Wolverines’ Raven Fox. At one point in the second quarter, the senior guard accounted for 14 of Deer Valley’s 16 points. Fox was the game’s leading scorer, finishing with 25. Senior guard Darnela Jenkins was the only other Wolverine posting a doubledigit scoring night, with 13. “We played hard,” Fox said. “We executsee Rises page 19B

Strokes – precautions and preventions by Marla Luckhardt Unless a family member is profusely pregnant, an early morning or late night phone call can be an unsettling noise. I received one of those scary calls several years ago when my dad suffered a stroke. It was moderate and he recovered from it without it leaving too many permanent damage or side effects, but it was frightening nonetheless. My first reaction was: why? What did he do to cause this? Or what did he not do? Strokes occur when the blood supply to part of our brain is interrupted, causing

brain cells to die. This can happen when the arteries within the brain narrow or if a blockage ocurs. If hardening of the arteries takes place in any of the four major blood vessels that supply the brain blood, a stroke can occur. The same is true for a rupture of an artery or a blood clot from within the heart that can travel up to the brain. High blood pressure is a common cause of bleeding within the brain – and another warning sign of possible stroke. Scary as this all sounds, there are ways to avoid a stroke. You should discuss these with your doctor and determine the best course of action. Get your blood pressure tested by a doctor. The

machines you buy or use at the pharmacy are fine for getting an sense of your pressure, but nothing beats your physician’s equipment. There are five major warning signs that you might be suffering a stroke, or CVA (cerebrovascular accident): 1. Numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of your body, and loss of voluntary movement or sensation or tingling in those areas. 2. Confusion, trouble speaking or understanding, or weakness in the face, causing drooling. 3. Trouble seeing or focusing with one or both eyes.

4. Dizziness, loss of balance or coordination, or trouble walking. 5. Severe and inexplicable headache. People who suffer migraines have a slightly increased rate of stroke occurrences. The mechanism for migraine or vascular headaches includes narrowing of the brain blood vessels and can even mimic a stroke. These symptoms resolve themselves as the headache goes away. There are common-sense ways to lessen your risk for stroke. Knowing your blood pressure and keeping it at a safe level is of utmost importance. Get your doctor to check it at least twice a year and use the pharmacy machine whenever you’re there to supplement your doctor’s reading. Identify and treat if needed any atrial fibrillation. Don’t smoke! (Now there’s a no brainer.) Control and moderate alcohol intake. Check and monitor your cholesterol levels. Check your blood-sugar levels to make sure you’re not diabetic or at risk of diabetes. Exercise and maintain a healthy weight for your body type and frame. Eat lots of fruits and fresh vegetables. If this all sounds like a broken record, as my dad used to say, you’re right. Doing healthy things for your body will pay you back in spades.

Update your workout by Christian Aguirre There’s no better time than the present to update your exercise routine with some hot fitness trends that are sweeping the nation. If you’re happy with your old workout, that’s fine, but fitness is an evolving field and you should always be open to revamping your existing routine by adding some new exercises. There’s always room for improvement. Every year, the American Council on Exercise and American College of Sports Medicine, both reputable authorities on health and fitness, investigate and publish the most effective and beneficial exercises for disease prevention, weight management and overall wellbeing. So what are the hot new trends in fitness for 2011? Boot camps Actually, they’ve been “hot” for a couple of years, and for a good reason. By incorporating cardiovascular, strength, endurance and flexibility drills in both outdoor and indoor settings, these sessions provide a total body workout – one of the reasons they’re so popular. Boot camps are also about 80 percent less expensive than personal training, so they give you more bang for your buck but with many of the same benefits, an important consideration in this sluggish economy. Core training It rocks because it conditions middlebody muscles, including the pelvis, lower

back, hips and abdomen, all of which support the spine. A stronger core will alleviate back pain while reducing the risk of injury to the back and pelvis when lifting and bending over. Strength training Among other benefits, this workout will improve your muscle tone, endurance and posture, as well as increase your bone density and reduce your risk of osteoporosis. Exercise and weight loss Obesity is a serious problem in our nation and can lead to diabetes, heart disease and many other life-threatening illnesses. More and more people realize this and are starting to do something about it before it’s too late. In addition to healthy nutrition (rather than fad diets), regular physical activity is a key component of a successful weight-loss program. Group training Many people get bored and discouraged when they exercise alone. Working out in a group is much more enjoyable; plus, it’s a great motivator: you’re not as likely to throw in the towel. That’s why combining a great workout with fun social interactions is an increasingly popular way to exercise. Fitness professional Christian Aguirre has helped local Bay Area residents get back into shape for 11 years. Client testimonials and blog may be viewed at www.eastbaytrainer.com . To learn more about Christian and his weight-loss program, e-mail info@eastbaytrainer.com or call 510-919-6806.

Rises from page 7B ed the plays and executed the press well.” The win advanced Deer Valley’s record to 11-6 overall (3-0 BVAL); Heritage fell to 146 overall (3-1 BVAL). The Patriots jumped out to a 13-6 lead in the first quarter, but the Wolverines had the hotter hand in the second quarter. Deer Valley led 27-24 at halftime, when Anger told his squad that they needed to work harder to create points off turnovers. “It takes four quarters to win a game, and I think we put it all together,” said senior forward Kayla Alexander, who scored eight. “We just knew what we came here to do.” Heritage struggled from both the field and the free throw line in the third quarter, scoring just two points. On the other side of the court, the Wolverines had no such problems, putting up 23 points and effectively distancing themselves from the host Patriots. Facing some of Deer Valley’s backups, Heritage did mount an impressive comeback effort. Led by rubber-tough sophomore guard Erin Asher, the Patriots were able to trim a 24point margin to 13. Asher netted 17 of her 23 points in that final quarter. Sophomore center Sabrina Engelstad and sophomore forward Ali Ramirez each scored nine points. Anger said he circled this game on his schedule long ago. After a rough preseason, the Wolverines looked forward to seeing what the Patriots could offer. Heritage owns the best overall record in the league so far, though the team fields just two seniors – guards Alex Grant and Jackie Davis. Much of the offense is run through Asher and Engelstad. Tamony commended her team for hanging tough in the first half. “They’re the top dog until somebody knocks them off, and that’s our goal,” Tamony said. Both sides are looking forward to the rematch – Feb. 15 in Antioch. The Wolverines intend to continue their stretch of BVAL dominance while the Patriots want to show that they’ve got what it takes to knock the defending champs off their throne. “Heritage is that game we pointed to,” Anger said. “We know they’re well-coached and Lexy does a good job. We felt like this was an important game. We lost here last year. We wanted to make sure we had that back.” Deer Valley also took the junior varsity game 71-50. Jasmin Foresburg led the Wolverines with 16 points; Jordan Nicola put up the same amount for Heritage. Liberty 43, Antioch 33 Liberty junior center Bernadette Fong nearly outscored Antioch as the Lions managed a 43-33 win, aided by Fong’s 23 points and 14 rebounds. Freshman guard Maranne Johnson led the Panthers with 16 points. Liberty (11-8, 2-2 BVAL) travels to Pittsburg on Friday; Antioch (4-16, 0-4 BVAL) faces Deer Valley on the road. Pittsburg 76, Freedom 28 Pittsburg thumped Freedom on Friday night, coming away with a 76-28 victory. Pirates junior forward Keshia Ward netted a game-high 20 points. Senior forward Terri Powell contributed 10 more. Sophomore guard Caroline Calbonero led the Falcons with eight points. Pittsburg (10-10, 3-1 BVAL) hosts Liberty on Friday; Freedom (6-14, 0-4) goes to Heritage.
