Back to the blackboard

by Justin Lafferty Staff Writer The once-bleak future of the Roswell Butler Hard House, a historic but deteriorated Antioch landmark, got a little brighter this week.

The local nonprofit Friends of the Roswell Butler Hard House has been battling the city over ownership of the downtown property, built by and named after the city’s first mayor. Last year, members of the group tried to persuade Antioch’s City Council for outright ownership of the house, located at 815 First St., so they can fix it up. But the council preferred waiting until after the election so that the new council could tackle the issue. Budget problems pushed it back further.

At Tuesday night’s City Council meeting, however, councilmembers were impressed by the group’s effort to address lingering concerns regarding fundraising. Both sides appear to be moving toward a resolution that would transfer the property, listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, from the city to the Friends of the Hard House. The nonprofit plans to restore it to as close to original standards as possible and open it to the public. The process, Friends secretary Elizabeth Rimbault estimated, will take roughly seven years.

A banner on the fence outside the Hard House in downtown Antioch solicits the City Council’s support for a plan to rehabilitate the historic house built in 1869.

“A lot of people in this community are getting depressed, especially when Antioch keeps getting a bad rap,” Rimbault said. “The citizens of Antioch need a project, a positive project they can participate in as citizens and feel that they are contributing to a forward-moving effort in the

city. That’s what the Hard House and the Friends represent.”

City mulls Prewett Park improvements

Antioch officials are trying to decide how to spend $2 million in savings from the construction of the Antioch Community Center.

Antioch officials Monday brainstormed how to spend roughly $2 million in special tax money earmarked for Prewett Park, but must clear several hurdles first.

Members of the public and the city’s Mello Roos District Board offered ideas such as a synthetic turf soccer or disc golf field, better WiFi coverage in the Antioch Community Center or simply paying off a portion of the Mello Roos bonds, which are special property taxes that help subsidize schools and public services. The current Mello Roos bonds are due to expire in 2016.

However, as consultant and former Prewett Park project man-

ager, Lonnie Karste pointed out at Monday’s Mello Roos District Board meeting, $2 million won’t stretch very far. The money – savings from the construction of the Antioch Community Center – must also account for parking, grading or soil improvements in the hilly area near the water park and new facility. As the area is home to burrowing owls, the city would also need to take into account environmental mitigation.

“All of those things are possible; all of those things would have to be reviewed,” Karste said. “Unfortunately, you have $2 million, so you have sort of a fixed amount of money from the city’s perspective.”

ECCFPD considers options for future

by Rick Lemyre Staff Writer A pair of committees is now looking at possible futures for the cash-strapped East Contra Costa Fire Protection District that serves Brentwood, Oakley, Discovery Bay and unincorporated far East County.

The district board held a special workshop Monday to discuss a plan offered by fire board directors Pat Anderson of Oakley and Steve Barr of Brentwood. That plan, created with the help of representatives from Citigate, the consulting firm that put together a nowoutdated plan for the district 10 years ago, could see the district divided into coverage zones based on population concentrations rather than city limits.

Under the plan, each zone would receive the same baseline service, based on what the district can afford now. The district now spends nearly $12 million per year, but declines in property tax revenue have reduced income to just over $8 million per year. The district is currently making up the difference with reserves, which will run out next year.

That means that without a revenue enhancement, the baseline could be reduced to three stations in the district that now operates six.

Citigate representative Stewart Gary said there are only three ways the district can reduce expenses: cut pay, cut hours or cut staff. One

possible way, he said, was to use as many as 13 paid-on-call (POC) firefighters in place of some of the district’s 48 full-time employees.

It’s important to note that POCs are not volunteers, Gary said. Because so many residents work out of the area and are not available to answer calls, and since modern firefighters require 70 to 100 hours per year of training to stay current, a volunteer system such as far East County relied on years ago isn’t practical.

Paid-on-call firefighters are essentially part-time workers, although they are fully qualified firefighters. Typically young, POCs are paid less and can be used to bolster staffing during big community events or periods of high fire danger.

At Monday’s occasionally contentious workshop, the district’s Executive Committee (EC), which includes city managers Bryan Montgomery (Oakley) and Donna Landeros (Brentwood) and fire Chief Hugh Henderson, was tasked with developing a strategy and possible team of experts that could help put together various service scenarios. That strategic outline will be brought back to the board for consideration before a full-blown plan of action is developed.

At the same time, work by the district’s ad hoc committee continues. Committee see Fire page 13A

Brentwood city manager to retire in September

by Rick Lemyre Staff Writer City Manager Donna Landeros announced Monday that she would accelerate her planned retirement by a year. Her final day at the city’s helm will be Sept. 30.

In a special meeting on Monday, the Brentwood City Council voted unanimously to appoint Assistant City Manager Paul Eldredge to the city’s top administrative post upon Landeros’ departure. City staff will work out an employment agreement for Eldredge and bring it back to the council for approval at an upcoming meeting.

Landeros, 62, had announced in January that she would retire in August of next year.

On Monday, she said she had enjoyed a recent trip to Lake Tahoe with her husband, Ben, so much that she decided to move her retirement

up by a year and in order to enjoy “more time in the mountains with him and our dogs.”

Eldredge has worked for the city for 14 years, starting as an assistant engineer in 1997 and working his way up to being named assistant city manager earlier this year. He has overseen capital improvement projects such as the city’s wastewater and water treatment plants, helped re-organize the city’s engineering and public works departments and worked on special projects including examining fire service options and serving as the city’s liaison to state and federal agencies on transportation, water and wastewater matters.

“I’m honored and privileged that they would even consider me for such a position,” said Eldredge, adding that he agreed to take the position only after extracting a promise see Retire page 13A

center’s ability to store them.

“The seniors were thrilled,” Alex said by e-mail after delivering the donations this week. “They have two extra shelves that are on order and will be arriving any day. These shelves will be used to house the newly acquired additions to the media library.”

Most of the donations came from the Shadow Lakes and Deer Ridge subdivisions, the parishioners of St. Anne Church in Byron and the families of Troops 159 and 90. And while the outpouring of sup-

port was great, it was the recipients who made Alex’s day.

“The highlight moment for me was talking and working side by side with the seniors,” he said. “This truly made this project a Brentwood community event. … I sincerely thank all of the Boy Scouts, adult BSA Troop leaders, the Brentwood seniors, the City of Brentwood, family and friends for all of the assistance with making this project happen. It sure felt good to help out the seniors. They were so happy to have us there.”

Hatching homes for chickens, pets

by Charleen Earley Correspondent

There’s no doubt in Wes Askins’ mind which came first: the chicken or the chicken coop.

“I started making chicken coops out of necessity,” said Askins, owner of Best Coops in Oakley, located at the corner of Sellers and East Cypress Road.

He’s been breeding chickens and selling their eggs, mostly silkies, Americanas and French black copper marrans, and making houses for them for more than 40 years.

When friends took a gander at his creative works, they wanted nothing but the best for their own egg layers.

“I build about 300 a year,” said Askins, a retired highend commercial tile contractor of 32 years. If it weren’t for a back injury, he’d still be laying tile, but the California native is much happier showcasing his creative side with custom creations. Mostly self-taught in woodworking, he does credit his first lessons from his junior high school woodshop: “what most schools are doing away with now.”

Depending on size and design, Askins’ chicken coops range in price between $275 and $3,000, and average about $1,000. He comes up with the designs himself, except for his popular 4x4 model, the brainchild of his late uncle, Bill Askins.

“He was a researcher for Purina Mills,” said Askins.

“He ran a feed store in Oklahoma and always lived on a farm.”

Most clients choose one of his standard designs, some will ask for minor changes such as the removal of a nest box or perch, and others will direct Askins to match the paint of their home’s exterior. Orders take two to five weeks to fill.

Askin’s designs incorporates not only aesthetics and predator-proof features, but proper heat control, ventilation and dryness, which he believes contributes to the ani-

Chicken coops aren’t all Askins makes. His portfolio includes pet urns and coffins, small bird houses, rabbit, tur-

tle and raccoon enclosures, reptile homes – even patios for cats, called “catios.”

Not in it to get rich, Askins said it’s a great way to spend his down time: “I love the opportunity to work with my hands and be creative.”

Enduring honor MORE SHORT SALE INCENTIVES

Photo by Angelo Garcia, Jr.

Last week I mentioned that Citibank has greatly sped up their short sale process, and on top of that, they are offering an average of $12,000 as an incentive to the homeowner to do a short sale. I’m only aware of two other banks that have short sale incentives and that would be Wachovia and Chase. (Please note that I’m not talking about the HAFA $3,000 incentive that is available from most lenders. This would be separate from that, although you can rarely double-dip on these.)

Wachovia will often do a $3,000 payment as “relocation assistance” and sometimes $5,000.

Because they are calling it “relocation assistance” they usually reserve it for owner-occupied homes. So it’s usually not for investment property or homes that have been vacant for a long time, although their rules tend to change from time to time and case by case.

Chase has also become quite aggressive in the short sale incentive area. I had a recent transaction where they offered $20,000 to the homeowner, and I’ve had clients bring me letters from Chase where they are offering up to $30,000 to do a short sale.

You may be asking yourself why in the world would lenders be offering this much money as an incentive to do a short sale. My assumption is that they have figured out that they lose much less money after a short sale than with a foreclosure. On top of that, they are very concerned about the legal challenges they are facing with some foreclosures being questioned, and possibly reversed, through the courts. In a short sale, they can mitigate that risk because short sales are initiated by the homeowner voluntarily selling their home to a 3rd party, and the lender is only involved in accepted a reduced payoff. With a foreclosure the lender is taking a much more aggressive role, and therefore they have more legal risks if it wasn’t handled properly, or some sweeping legislation gets enacted in the future which voids large numbers of prior foreclosures on legal grounds.

EDUCATION

Teaching America Raylene Poppino of Oakley has joined the effort to improve reading skills in urban and rural schools across the country.

Poppino, a 2007 graduate of Freedom High School and 2011 graduate of Stanford University, has been accepted to be part of Teach For America, a corps of top college graduates who commit to teach for two years in urban and rural public schools and become lifelong leaders in the pursuit of educational equity. Poppino will teach in the Bay Area.

This year, Teach For America’s talent pool was the most competitive ever: Nearly 48,000 graduates applied, and 11 percent were accepted. Applicants included 12 percent of Ivy League seniors, 10 percent of seniors at Howard University, 8 percent at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, and 5 percent at the University of Texas at Austin.

Poppino joins Teach For America’s incoming corps of 5,200 new teachers, who earned an average undergraduate GPA of 3.6 and held leadership positions while in college.

“This year’s incoming corps members represent a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences, but they share extraordinary leadership ability and a deep commitment to ensuring that all children have the opportunity to reach their fullest potential,” said Wendy Kopp, founder and CEO of Teach For America. “We are excited to be channeling the energy of such a diverse corps into teaching in urban and rural public schools and into the long-term effort to achieve educational excellence and equity.”

The diversity of the 2011 corps reflects Teach For America’s focus on recruiting teachers who share the racial and socioeconomic backgrounds of the students they teach. One-third of incoming corps members identify as people of color, including 12 percent African-American and 8 percent Hispanic. Twenty-two percent are the first in their family to graduate from college, and nearly one-third received Pell grants. Twenty-three percent are graduate students or professionals.

Power plant breaks ground

JULY 15, 2011

Oakley City Council members, from left, Vice Mayor Kevin Romick, Carol Rios, Mayor Jim Frazier, Pat Anderson and Randy Pope make their mark at the Oakley Generating Station groundbreaking ceremony on Tuesday.

by Samie Hartley Staff Writer

Local, county and state officials gathered in Oakley on Tuesday to celebrate the groundbreaking of the Oakley Generating Station.

A crowd of approximately 150 attended the festivities that marked the official start of construction of the 614-megawatt, state-of-the-art, natural-gas-fired, combined-cycle power plant. The station, located on Bridgehead Road on 22 acres at the former DuPont property, will offer one of the first applications of General Electric’s latest, advanced 7FA gas turbine, which will operate more efficiently and be more environmentally friendly than previous turbines. The new technology will eliminate 19,000 tons of greenhouse gases annually and use 93 percent less water than conventional power plants.

“This is a beautiful day,” said Oakley Mayor Jim Frazier as he welcomed the crowd to the invitation-only event. “It’s been a long process … but here we are today, and it’s a good day. Let’s get this party started.”

Danville-based Radback Energy formally introduced the Oakley Generating Station project back in November of 2009 when the project went before the California Energy Commission (CEC) for its first public hearing. After months of investigations, the CEC approved the project in May of this year.

The construction of the plant is expected to take 32 months and create more than 700 union jobs. After completion, a crew of approximately 20 will operate the facility.

Frazier said he and the Oakley council are proud to welcome Radback and GE to Oakley and look forward to their continued partnership. Radback has already contributed to the community in many ways, most recently helping fund a

portion of the fireworks show at the annual Oakley Cityhood Celebration. Radback officials have also pledged to start a community benefits program in which Radback will contribute approximately $6 million to establish a community grant program for local nonprofit organizations and to fund city capital improvement projects.

Radback CEO Bryan Bertacchi also expressed gratitude for the partnership and looks forward to Radback becoming part of the community. “Developing new projects in California teaches you one thing: you need a lot of oars in the water to create a project like this one,” Bertacchi told the crowd. “But in my personal experience over the last 30 years, the oars aren’t all paddling in the same direction and you’re going around in circles. But we’re here today because this group spent four years paddling together, working toward the same goal.”

California Public Utilities Commission President Michael Peevey admitted the project had a “tortured” history, as Radback officials and community representatives campaigned vigorously to win over the CPUC commissioners. Although the commission initially denied the project, Peevey now sees no downsides to the multi-million-dollar enterprise. The CPUC’s

original denial was due to commissioners’ belief that the plant was unnecessary, but Peevey told the crowd at Tuesday’s event that the Oakley Generating Station will play a key role in the future of energy-generating technology.

With the construction of the Oakley Generating Station and its utilization of advanced technologies, California will be less dependent on – or will retire – older and less-efficient power plants. Pacific Gas and Electric plans to purchase the plant once it’s completed.

“We are very pleased that GE’s latest 7FA gas turbine technology is a driving force behind this milestone project,” said Paul Browning, president and CEO of thermal products for GE Energy. “The Oakley plant will offer high efficiency, low emissions and the operating flexibility that enables greater use of renewable energy such as wind or solar power. The flexibility of the 7FA gas turbine enables a natural gas plant to be turned up when the grid needs energy, and turned down when renewable energy is available. We believe the greater use of renewable energy, in combination with natural gas, is the future of power generation.”

Fire from page 3A member Joel Bryant of Brentwood (Oakley’s Jim Frazier and Bethel Island’s Kenny round out the ad hoc committee) said the group was putting together data on: 1) how to spend the $8 million the district now gets in the likely event a revenue measure is not passed before reserves run out; 2) what enhancing services with more stations, firefighters or paramedics might look like and cost; and 3) whether a merger with the county’s ConFire district is desirable or even possible.

Bryant said he expects the ad hoc committee, which now meets weekly, to have its findings ready for the district’s Aug. 1 meeting. That data will be considered along with the information produced by the EC and perhaps form the basis for a single, cohesive plan, Bryant said.

Major stumbling blocks exist no matter what the plan evolves into. Bringing POCs into the equation angered the career firefighters at Monday’s meeting, and firefighter union Local 1230 President Vince Wells promised such a plan would meet stiff, vocal opposition from labor if it moves forward.

The downside, she said, includes the continuing up-in-the-air status of the fire service in East Contra Costa: “That’s probably the one project I’m most disappointed we haven’t made more progress on. It’s been six and a half years and I would have hoped we would have had a long-range plan by now.”

time firefighters with POCs, a system that used to exist in the ECCFPD but fell apart when the district was formed out of three smaller districts. “This is just recycling an old idea that has already failed,” he said.

Frazier thinks it’s a good idea that the EC is working on ideas at the same time as the ad hoc committee, but he would prefer that the board consider what the ad hoc committee comes up with before moving to other plans, such as using POCs. As seen on Monday, he said, the POC discussion makes a huge impact on the morale of current staff, and should not be considered except as a last-ditch effort.

Although the district is considering several options, many of which are opposed by at least some of the nine board members, Bryant is hopeful that it will all come together in the end. A key factor in any solution, he said, is getting the public to understand the severity of the situation.

“It’s essential that people realize how serious this is,” he said. “Many people have no idea that there is serious, personal danger to everyone who lives here. They should be alarmed, and educate themselves on the options that will be brought forward.”

Hard House from page 1A house in 1869. It was considered one of the finest homes in the area. After Hard passed away, the house was converted into apartments. Antioch purchased the property in 1979, but it has remained unused.

Though councilmembers didn’t feel comfortable declaring a transfer on Tuesday night, the prospect looks promising. The issue will be brought back to the dais, likely in September, as city officials work with the Friends group regarding the value of the property and how it will be utilized as an open-to-the-public facility. “I think it would be a great jewel downtown,� City Councilmember Gary Agopian said. “I’ve often wondered, as I’ve been by the area, why nothing was being done. I’m sure many others have wondered as well. I think the fact that there seems to be an energy and

Park from page 1A Antioch’s Mello Roos District does not decide how to spend these funds, but offers recommendations to the city. Board members opted not to provide an official opinion to the city on Monday, but rather to pass along their thoughts and public comment.

Though no decision was submitted to the city, board members Terry Ramus, Walter Ruehlig and Wade Harper generally agreed that the $2 million could cover a new turf field. And since traveling sports teams would rent out the field and spend money locally, the project could generate revenue for the city.

Board member Thomas McNell, who was away on a business trip, submitted a written

a passion about doing something good and right and positive in our community is important.�

Rimbault, who has a successful history of grant writing, noted that the nonprofit has waited until it secures complete ownership of the Hard House before soliciting donations from the public. Rimbault said that many private donors are leery of donating money to a government-run facility, and putting it in the hands of a nonprofit should make donations easier to come by. The former city councilwoman spoke passionately about the Hard House and what her organization could do to make it shine once again.

If this goes through, members of the Friends of the Hard House will own the property, which cannot be given back to the city should the nonprofit dissolve. According to Rimbault, if the Friends of the Hard House

fails, the property and any funds left over would be given to another nonprofit with a similar aim – in line with IRS rules. That nonprofit would likely be the Antioch Historical Society, which launched the Friends group but is an independent organization.

A major X-factor that could derail the entire transaction, however, is redevelopment.

In April, as Gov. Jerry Brown threatened to nix funding for redevelopment, the city transferred several properties from its redevelopment agency to general funds. The current offer on the table, according to City Manager Jim Jakel, is for the state government to void all redevelopment transactions that took place after Jan. 1, holding the properties as ransom.

The city would be required to pay $3.1 million to keep the properties as-is, but terms are still being worked out in Sacramento. If that happens, the Hard House would become the

property of the state.

Rimbault and Friends of the Hard House president Dave Brink said that since they wouldn’t have any control over a potential capitol takeover, they won’t worry about it.

Brink and avid supporter Fred Hoskins have been saddened by how the property – home to random transients and feral cats – has deteriorated. Windows are boarded up, and an addition to the house in the rear is in danger of collapsing.

With all that in mind, Brink was pleased with the direction the City Council appears to be headed. “Even though it wasn’t official, it was semi-official,� Brink said. “I believe that now we’ll be able to proceed with staff and with the subcommittee and get down to all these little details that they’re interested in.�

statement supporting a turf field. “I’m looking at the youth, and to refute that statement that there’s nothing to do in the city of Antioch,� Harper said. “But at the same time, if we can’t afford it, if it comes out to be too much, we should have a Plan B in place.�

In contrast, board member Larry Osorio felt that another field would be one too many and siphon off traffic from other fields in the city. He abstained from voting on the matter, citing concern that the city wouldn’t be able to build the field soon enough for it to be costefficient.

Ruehlig noted that while he’s not sure how much the environmental mitigation or

grading would cost, the synthetic turf field could eat up roughly $1.5 million.

Some residents who spoke at Monday’s meeting felt that instead of trying to force something to happen with the $2 million, the Mello Roos District should recommend that the city use it to help pay off the bonds, easing the strain on taxpayers.

That option also found support in an online poll conducted by former City Councilman Allen Payton. Of the 248 votes in the poll, 90 were in favor of giving it back. “I talked to a few people in my neighborhood, and they’re all Mello Roos taxpayers, and their first response was, ‘Why not give the money back so that it gets paid down

sooner?’� Antioch resident Trisha Meirle told the board. “I really think that people deserve a break after paying all these years and for all that they have paid.�

But Ramus noted that using the $2 million in that fashion really wouldn’t be as effective as it sounds. While it seems like a large sum of cash now, it would equal a savings of only $133 per Mello Roos taxpayer, essentially meaning that the bond would be paid off a scant 32 days earlier. Other board members felt, however, that such a use of the funds is an option the city should take seriously.

Antioch’s City Council will decide how to spend the money at a future meeting.

Well done, Oakley Editor: Little did the Homeless Animals’ Lifeline Organization (HALO) realize when it started its rescue group that 13 years later, the City of Oakley would acknowledge HALO’s hard work and dedication by offering the organization a building for lease as a base of operation.

Oakley has demonstrated that it is truly a city that knows how to “Walk the Walk.” When HALO reached out to Oakley staff with a proposal that didn’t quite fit, it wasn’t the end of the discussion; staff kept them in mind and came up with a win-win solution for both the city and the organization – not to mention the community.

The willingness of the city leaders to support volunteer efforts is both commendable and refreshing, especially in these turbulent times, when politicians are not exactly held in high esteem.

By receiving a monthly monetary payment for the old fire station, you can’t be accused of giving public property away.

The amount is reasonable and an incentive for the group to move forward with renovation plans.

Thanks to the Oakley City Council, East County will soon have an animal rescue facility that will become a showcase for other communities.

As a resident of another city all I can say is: I’m jealous!

Pyrotechnics a pecuniary priority?

Editor: All of the fireworks are nice and all, but wouldn’t it be cheaper, for example, to have all the cities in the area contribute to one big firework display? Even though I don’t pay taxes yet, I think the money could be put to a lot better places, like education, construction, sports, etc.

Softball teams excel at All-Star tourney

by Michael Dixon Correspondent

Kylie Cast, a pitcher for the Antioch Little League Senior Softball All-Star team, squares up on a ball during the District 4 All-Star tournament.

Three local Little League softball teams will advance to the divisional tournament this weekend after claiming titles in the District 4 All-Star tournament.

Antioch’s senior softball team and its 11-12-year-old team, as well as East County’s 10-11 softball squad, recently ran the tables, earning District 4 All-Star championships.

The most successful local baseball team was Antioch’s 9-10 team, which went 8-1 to earn a spot in the final game against North Oakland on Tuesday in Alameda.

Included in that run was a 4-1 win against North Oakland on Monday night, which set up the winner-take-all showdown. But North Oakland got its revenge, beating Antioch 7-3 in the final to win District 4.

“All of the players were strong performers,” said Tiffany Silva, wife of Coach Dan Silva. “We got hits and great plays from everyone; it’s really hard to single out a few players. We just came together as a team and played great; we just came up a little short.”

While the baseball teams weren’t as

successful as they’d hoped, Antioch’s 11-12 softball team was dominant. After receiving a first-round bye, the team beat Pittsburg 14-0 in its first game and won back-to-back battles against Pinole-Hercules by scores of 9-1 and 4-2 to claim the championship.

“Antioch Little League showed great poise and power on the field,” said Dennis Felix, coach of the 11-12 team and executive vice president of Antioch Little League.

“We were led by strong pitching, stellar base running, and excellent hitting to bring home the championship banner and represent Antioch in the state championship round.”

Kylie Cast was Antioch’s ace pitcher, spreading five hits and one walk over all three games while striking out 22 hitters.

Her season total in strikeouts is now 173 and her record is 23-0. Cast was also strong at the plate, as were most of her teammates, specifically Julia Odom and Megan Felix.

Also making key contributions were Presley Guitierrez, Kyra Gallego, Alexandria Tellez, Michaela Vanderklugt and Clarissa Im. Augmenting Cast’s strong pitching were relievers Im and Monica Anjari, whose talents allowed Antioch to give Cast see All-Star page 21A

Brentwood racers find love in victory lane

by Justin Lafferty Staff Writer

Brad Myers and fiancée Melissa Hansen love taking their car out for a Saturday night cruise in downtown Antioch.

But this is no romantic drive – the Brentwood residents enjoy getting down and dirty every week at the Antioch Speedway as a husband-and-wife-to-be racing team. Their car is white, adorned with the No. 33 and decals from a bevy of local sponsors. Their road is an 3/8-mile oval made of mud. Their ambient sounds are the deafening roar of a dozen other engines.

“It’s fun; it’s different,” Myers said. “Every week, she’s in there with me – an extra set of eyes looking for accidents around the corner. It’s kind of cool.”

As Myers, 31, drives the hobby stock car, the 28-year-old Hansen serves as the passenger, watching out for crashes and open lanes. Hansen also competes on her own, in the limited late model division.

So far, the team has been doing quite well at the Speedway. They’re second in the hobby stock standings to Danville’s Jim

Melissa Hansen and fiancé Brad Myers have formed a racing team, putting Myers behind the wheel and Hansen in the faithful co-pilot seat during races.

Freethy.

Myers and Hansen met a few years ago as coworkers at Brentwood Auto Parts – now one of their car’s major

sponsors. Friendship turned to something more serious and a couple years ago, they decided to turn their love for racing into something tangible. Though

Hansen has been racing at the Antioch Speedway for 12 years, last season was the first for Myers, who has always been passionate about the four-wheeled sport, but had not taken a turn in the driver’s seat.

Last year, they raced as a team, alternating roles. But their quest for a championship was dashed because whoever drove the car got the points for that week. This season, the couple decided that it would be Myers steering the car and Hansen in the passenger seat.

“My first year racing, she definitely helped me out a lot,” Myers said.

Their relationship accelerated on Easter weekend last year, when they headed to Reno just to get away for a bit.

Myers had been holding on to a ring for a couple months, waiting for the right time to make his move. The night before Easter, Myers popped the question and Hansen accepted.

Even though it’s been a little over a year since the engagement, the couple swerves around the question of “Have you set a date?” Hansen and Myers are content to put off thinking about tuxes see Love page 21A

Cherry’s Tax Facts...

By Cherry Comstock

Tax planning now may provide a lower tax bill later “Taxpayers should pay no more or no less than what’s owed,” said IRS Spokesperson Raphael Tulino. “While most taxpayers prefer to get a refund, some tax planning done now could boost take home pay or save money down the road.”

More than three out of four taxpayers received refunds thus far in 2011 and the average refund is just over $2,800. To bring the tax paid closer to what’s actually owed, taxpayers should consider:

Withholding Adjustments

Call for fishing reports or professional advice

(925) 234-4694 1625 Main Street, Oakley CA 94561

Taxpayers should use IRS Publication 919, “How do I adjust my tax withholding?” or the Withholding Calculator at IRS.gov to assist with determining the proper withholding amount for their situation. Wage earners needing to adjust withholdings should complete and submit a new Form W-4, Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate, to their employer. Self-employed taxpayers can use Form 1040-ES worksheet to correctly figure their estimated tax payments.

2011 Payroll Tax Cut Millions of workers saw their take-home pay rise during 2011 because the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 provides a two percentage point payroll tax cut for employees, reducing their Social Security tax withholding rate from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent of wages paid. This reduced Social Security withholding will have no effect on the employee’s future Social Security benefits.

Summer Tax Tips Summer months often mean weddings, summer jobs, day camps, job related moves and home sales.

Marital status on Dec. 31 determines marriage for that year. Taxpayers should consider which filing status is best. Joint tax deductions may allow newlyweds the opportunity to itemize deductions thus lowering their bill.

Working students who can be claimed as a dependent on another tax return may be exempt from federal tax withholding if certain other conditions are met. Students are urged to read IRS form W-4 carefully before submitting to their employer.

Skipping unnecessary tax withholdings generally results in a bigger paycheck.

Many working parents arrange for care of their younger children under 13 during the summer. A popular solution — with favorable tax consequences — is a day camp program. Unlike overnight camps, the cost of day camp can count as an expense towards the child and dependent care credit. Up to $3,000 of work-related expenses per qualifying person or $6,000 for two or more qualifying persons can be used to figure the amount of the credit. IRS publication 503, Child and Dependent Care Credit, provides complete details.

Cal Cup champs from Alexandrea Diaz. In game two, Jaime Ward rocketed a goal from 25 yards out.

Ashley Schieber followed up with a beamer from right field and Rizo notched yet another goal. In an impressive display of positional discipline and hustle, the Impact defense allowed no shots on goal. Impact goalie Elle Ray never touched the ball.

In the third match, a more physical clash than the first two, the girls continued to play consistently and intensely, earning them a 3-1 victory.

La Paloma Doves get new roost SAMIE HARTLEY

L

a Paloma High School’s 190 students will soon be nesting at a new campus, complete

with a gymnasium, science labs, a media room and computers in every classroom.

La Palomas’ Doves have been attending classes in a cluster of portable classrooms on Lone Tree Way for more than 40 years, but on Aug. 1, students will begin classes at the other end of Brentwood at the new 20,000-square-foot campus off of Guthrie Lane. The transition has been a long time coming, and Principal Regina Greene and her staff are thrilled.

“I remember when I came to La Paloma four years ago they told me we’d be getting a new campus, and it seemed like this long running joke,” Greene said.

“We knew we would get a new campus eventually, but now that it’s actually built and you can walk around the campus, the excitement is insurmountable.”

The Liberty Union High School District has been looking for a new location for La Paloma since the City of Brentwood expanded Lone Tree Way from a two-lane country road to a six-lane thoroughfare.

N BUSINESS Stockman to join Fremont Bank to offer secure chip debt cards DLS Insurance DLS Insurance in Brentwood has announced that Rich Stockman will be joining its staff to serve as leader of domestic and international commercial insurance. His main goal will be to establish new commercial clients in the San Francisco Bay region.

In the industry for more than 30 years, Rich served as an underwriting manager in worker’s compensation with AIG Insurance. For the past 18 years he’s been with Barlocker Leavitt Insurance in San Jose, where he developed and serviced a broad

client base.

DLS Insurance is currently positioning itself with service team members and associated vendors in order to meet clients’ commercial insurance and risk management requirements. Rich believes the office involvement with a commercial marketing group allows greater access to the insurance marketplace than he has previously experienced. He says, “Sales away!”

For more information, call 925-5139080.

Success at lia sophia In an effort to distinguish the company’s top sales producers, lia sophia has recognized Marni Parsons as a Monthly Achiever.

Parsons, who is ranked among the top sales representatives in the organization, is now part of an elite group of company advisors and managers who have been acknowledged for their outstanding jewelry sales efforts.

“We’re so pleased to applaud Marni Parsons’s personal achievements in sales,” says lia sophia Executive Vice President Peter MacBride. “This attests to the dedication, hard work and passion that goes into

successfully forming your own business.”

The Monthly Achievers are applauded and recognized in lia sophia’s national monthly newsletter, which is distributed throughout the organization. Accumulated monthly sales can qualify advisors and managers for annual awards.

According to Parsons, “Earning money by helping my hostesses and customers find beautiful, affordable jewelry has been so satisfying for me. Building and maintaining my own business and receiving recognition have been an experience I never dreamed possible.”

Fremont Bank has announced it will be one of the first community banks on the West Coast to offer clients state-of-the-art secure chip debit cards. The technology featured in the new debit cards will provide an advanced level of data security for Fremont Bank’s clients. The cards will be available to an initial group of approximately 400 Fremont Bank debit cardholders during the third quarter of 2011.

“The safety and security of our clients’ data is our top priority, and we are pleased to be one of the first West Coast community banks to offer this level of debit card data protection,” said Chris Olson, Fremont Bank’s chief operating and enterprise risk officer.

Fremont Bank’s new debit cards will use STAR CertiFlash, a chip application developed by First Data’s STAR Network that uses one-time card number technology to advance security at the point of sale.

Most banks in the U.S. currently use a magnetic stripe on debit and credit cards to store the cardholder’s name, account number and other authenticating information. It is possible for thieves to copy the data off the mag-

netic stripe and create fraudulent replica cards.

To counter this type of fraud, the STAR CertiFlash technology eliminates the consumer’s card data from the payment transaction.

The technology is programmed onto a chip that is embedded within a payment device, such as a debit card. For each STAR CertiFlash transaction, the chip encrypts and transmits a card number that is good for only a single use.

Real cardholder data from the STAR CertiFlash transaction is not stored in the merchant’s systems or transmitted when the transaction is processed. If the information that is transmitted were stolen, it would be useless for additional transactions. As an added layer of security, cardholders are required to verify their identities by entering PINs for transactions over $25 or those that contain cash back.

Cardholders can take advantage of the added security at retail establishments that have “contactless” card readers at the point of sale. Contactless readers read the chip when the card is touched to the reader; they do not require the card to be swiped. The cards will continue to have magnetic stripes to allow use at all point-of-sale locations until the U.S. moves away from magnetic stripe technology, as other countries are doing.

Local Lion Takes Flight Joshua Freeman, a senior at Liberty High School and member of Tracy Troop 515, recently earned the rank of Eagle Scout.

Josh began his scouting career in the first grade as a Tiger Cub with Pack 90 in Brentwood. He advanced from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts in February of 2005 after earning his Arrow of Light, Cub Scouts’ highest achievement. To earn the rank of Eagle, a scout must earn a minimum of 21 merit badges, serve in various leadership positions and complete a service project that benefits his community.

Josh has held many leadership positions over the years, including den chief for Cub Scouts and senior patrol leader for his contingent to the 2010 National Jamboree, which celebrated the centennial of Scouting in America. Josh’s favorite merit badge of his 49 completed thus far is Fire Science, as he plans to be a Fire Fighter after college.

He has also spent more than 100 nights in the outdoors at Camp Wolfeboro and Camp Wente, where he has backpacked, snow camped, canoed and engaged in many other adventures.

For his service project, Josh worked with Brentwood Elementary School to install on campus a new low-maintenance, drought-resistant garden featuring new fencing. With much help from friends, members of his Scout troop and community, the garden was completed over the course of several weekends this past winter. Delta Fence, Water Savers, Brentwood Decorative Rock and Willy’s Bagels & Blends all provided much needed and appreci-

Friendly visitors spread smiles Friendly Visitor is a free service offered to Contra Costa County residents over 60 years young. Affiliated with the well known Meals on Wheels, it provides home visits and companionship to those who’d like a nice diversion to an otherwise quiet week.

Friendly Visitor’s SENIOR sweet and caring people ORNER will set up a visit once a week for an hour or two. Volunteers share with seniors such activities as playing cards or puzzle games, watching a movie, going for a walk, enjoying a meal or just warm conversaMARLA tion. In certain cases, LUCKHARDT volunteers are also available for errands such as doctor appointments or shopping.

Volunteers are thoroughly screened and trained, are local residents and most of all, love seniors. The program offers additional services such as fall prevention, care management, home care registry and C.C. Café.

Friendly Visitor services are free. You

C

can learn more by visiting www.mowsos.org and by calling Susannah Meyer at 925-9378311, ext. 130. You’ll find a kind voice radiating from a marvelous lady.

More than a dozen new volunteers recently entered the program – volunteers who are now looking for someone to share time with. It’s nice to know that volunteers outnumber recipients right now.

Although the Friendly Visitor program serves all of Contra Costa County, it’s currently concentrating a lot of effort on our area, East County (Brentwood, Oakley, Antioch, Discovery Bay and Knightsen).

Lots of smiling faces are waiting to hear from you. Remember, it’s a free service and offered with love and kindness.

Nobody likes to feel lonely. Family and friends come for occasional visits, but it’s nice to make a new pal, someone who enjoys listening to the stories of your life.

Stay healthy!

Fireworks With both the 4th of July and the Brentwood Cornfest officially behind us we won’t be seeing fireworks – locally – for a quite a while. But before the embers burn out, the lights go out, and the memories fade, let’s take a second to take something other than a smile from the pyrotechnic displays…

Both of the above mentioned shows weren’t longer than 25 minutes; however, the prep work was an all day affair.

In one way – at least in the head of a mortgage banker – this “prep and then BOOM” discipline can be compared to being pre-approved for a mortgage. The world of fireworks revolves around stepby-step procedures that cannot be done out of order: you can’t wire the firework until the explosive itself is in the cylinder, and you can’t put the firework in the cylinder until the cylinder is built. Basically, you have to start from the bottom and build your way up. The same can be said about purchasing a home…

You can’t write an offer on a home without being pre-approved, and a Realtor won’t take you out to see a home without a pre-approval letter in hand.

Again, and as mentioned above, you have to start from the bottom up. In the world of pyrotechnics, that means the base in which the fireworks are held, in the world of real estate that means the base in which the financing is held

– see pre-approval letter. I cannot stress enough: Pre-approval is the most important part of the real estate process.

It might seem as if this step can be over looked, side-stepped, or taken likely, but that is not the case…

Think about those people that paid for a firework show: the kids are excited, the parents are tired, but everyone is looking forward to the show. Then, the shells start firing and they’re all duds. No one is happy, there aren’t any refunds, and everyone goes home upset. Take that mind set, but transfer it into the world of real estate. This time around the parents are excited and the kids are tired, but everyone is looking forward to the home. However, without the right pre-approval, instead of being out a show, you’re now out the cost inspections – termite, home, etc. – and you’re still going home upset.

The pyrotechnic who rushes his/her wiring is like the lender who rushes his/ her pre-approval – they’re both setting up their audience for disappointment.

That said, please don’t think twice to call me and have your “pre-approval” double checked.
