Locals helping to feed Haitians Friendly vistors seeking seniors
by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer According to the World Health Organization, someone on the planet dies of hunger every 3.6 seconds. And each year, 15 million of those are children. “Can you imagine?” said Brentwood resident Deborah Melander. “My little girl can’t believe that kids can actually die because they don’t have enough food. She can’t believe it’s even possible.” But the sobering statistics say otherwise. Yet through the efforts of national organizations such as Kids Against Hunger (KAH), Melander and others are working to make the possible, impossible. KAH is a food-aid organization whose mission is to feed starving children in the United States and abroad. The group operates approximately 80 satellite food-packing sites throughout the U.S. and Canada. This month, Melander – along with Sherri Leal, organizer of the KAH Pleasanton chapter – plans to package and ship 50,000 of the nonprofit organization’s pre-made meals to the children of Haiti. And they’re inviting the public to help. For a $25 donation, participants can sign up to pack 100 meals, or they can drop by and pack one bag of food for $1.50. The meals are dehydrated vitamin-fortified soy-rice casseroles that cook up in boiling water and contain a day’s worth of protein. “This is a really cool program, and it’s

The Kids Against Hunger organization will send 50,000 meals to Haiti later this month. something that is very doable for our kids locally,” said Melander, who also organizes the local Treasure Box program that sells namebrand boxes of food at discount rates. “Kids can come in and bring us their quarters and box up and decorate a package themselves. It’s something they can see the benefit of right away, and that makes them feel really good.” The food packets are scheduled to be delivered to Haiti at the end of March via Project Handclasp – a U.S. Navy program that transports educational, humanitarian and goodwill material donated by America’s private sector aboard Navy ships. “I’m so excited about this Brentwood project,” said Leal, who has packaged KAH items for children in Mexico, Africa and the Philippines. “We’re concentrating on Haiti right now because the need is so great, but also because the Navy has boots there on the ground to
make sure the packages are delivered and don’t sit on the loading docks. We have people there to make sure it gets hand delivered.” Those interested in participating in the two-day packing project are encouraged to bring their friends, family, coworkers, Scout troop, school friends or anyone they feel might want to help. The Brentwood packing event will be held Friday and Saturday, Feb. 25 and 26 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Towne Center Plaza, 1185 Second St., Suite H. To sign up or learn more about the event, call Juanita Brownell at 925-634-6050 or email jbrownell@dslextreme.com. For more information about the Kids Against Hunger program, call Sherri Leal at 925-400-7201 or e-mail sherri@kidsaginsthungrpleasanton. org.

If you know of an East County senior – a family member, neighbor or fellow church member – who could use a friend, you’re encouraged to refer them to the Friendly Visitors program. Loneliness and isolation can impact nutrition, independence and over-all health, and accelarate the aging process. The Friendly Visitor Program was created to support the aging community and provide vital companionship in the form of one-hour weekly in-home visits. Friendly Visitors are dependable and caring volunteers who project a positive spirit. They’re screened, trained and matched with seniors who share similar interests. The Friendly Visitors Program is operated through Meals on Wheels by Senior Outreach Services, a private, nonprofit agency supporting seniors in Contra Costa County since 1968. To learn more about the Friendly Visitors Program, call Susannah Meyer at 925-937-8311, ext. 130, e-mail smeyer@mowsos.org or visit www.mowsos.org.

Changes at BDC
Foreverland, a widely acclaimed Michael Jackson tribute ensemble, is coming to Antioch to benefit Relay For Life.
Photo courtesy of El Campinil Theatre
MJ tribute helps Relay Take a trip with Foreverland on Saturday, Feb. 26 at 8 p.m. in Antioch’s El Campanil Theatre to raise money for this year’s Brentwood Relay For Life. Based in San Francisco, the 14-piece ensemble was formed in March of 2009 to honor Jackson’s musical genius and legendary showmanship. Rather than be limited by an MJ impersonator and pre-recorded backing tracks, the band’s unique approach is to celebrate the larger-than-life performances, imagination and infectious spirit of this legendary artist. All proceeds benefit the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life, a worldwide event that celebrates the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the
disease. Relay teams camp out at a local high school, park or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team puts a representative on the track at all times. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24 hours in length. Brentwood’s event will be held in June. Tickets are $40 for preferred seating; $30 for adults and $25 for seniors (62 and older) and youth (17 and under). Tickets may be purchased in advance at the El Campanil ticket office, 604 W. Second St. in Antioch, next door to the theater. The office is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and one hour before showtime. Tickets are also available by phone at 925-757-9500 or online at www.elcampaniltheatre.com.

Magnificent memorial FORECLOSURES TO PEAK THIS YEAR? Once again, I’ve heard on “good authority” that the banks are about to release a whole bunch of foreclosed properties on the market. The problem is, I’ve had this same report from the same source the last two years, and the huge tsunami of REO properties never materialized. So I’m starting to doubt my source... I don’t doubt that they believe they are telling me the truth. It’s just that there are too many factors at work here, all the way up to the very highest levels of government. But it’s not just my source, I’m reading this in all kinds of real estate reports, that the pressure is building, and they are really going to do it this year, so get ready! This is quite a bit like the story of the boy who cried “Wolf!” and the townspeople tuned him out. But there is something critically important about that story that people tend to forget--at the end of the story, the wolf DOES show up! Delinquencies remain stubbornly high. Loan mod programs are still only
ntioch Riverview Garden Club’s pick for Garden of the Month is the Victory Highway Cactus Garden located at the entrance to the Contra Costa County Fairgrounds. Dedicated May 31, 1926, the memorial commemorates servicemen and women lost during World War I. Members of the garden club later planted and continue to maintain the cactus garden surrounding the memorial. Monthly garden club meetings are held the first Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. in the Antioch Public Library.

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is preparing a Resource Management Plan (RMP) to guide future management of the Contra Loma Reservoir and Recreation Area (Contra Loma), which includes Contra Loma Regional Park and Antioch Community Park. The March 3 workshop is another chance to help guide the future management of recreational uses and natural, cultural, and water resources at Contra Loma. As workshop participants, you will have the opportunity to: • Learn about the process and timeline for Contra Loma planning and environmental review • Understand how community input has helped inform the process to date • Provide input on possible future actions and how they relate to uses, including recreation • Identify additional opportunities for improving resource management and recreational experiences at Contra Loma The continued success of Contra Loma management depends on your involvement. Attend the workshop to share your thoughts and ideas! For more information about the public workshop or to RSVP, please contact Christine Lim at 415-391-7900, clim@kearnswest.com or visit www.ebparks.org/planning#contraloma.

marginally successful, and the fall-out rate is still quite high. Unemployment is still high, and house prices haven’t “bounced back” to their prior levels. There is no easy answer to our real estate mess. Either the banks are going to continue to delay foreclosures when they can, hoping things “get better.” Meanwhile they are papering over their losses with the government knowingly looking the other way. Or they will go ahead and start foreclosing in masse, which will tank the market further. Neither option is a great one. My guess is they will foreclose on a certain percentage of their most seriously delinquent loans, and then keep “kicking the can” down the road on the rest.

OUTDOORS
Old dogs enter golden years of rusty gears JD’s about to turn 12. His hardcore hiking days are nearly done. It won’t be long before his old bones can’t take the pounding, before he feels an unfamiliar twinge in those Jack Russell sinews signaling the end of his time on the trail. If it’s any consolation, my old TAKE IT friend, I’m headed in UTSIDE the same direction. I don’t take JD out for the companionship; I’ve been hiking solo all my life. Fact is, his need for water breaks and sniffing excursions GER slows me down. On ERICKSON hot days he’ll drag me over to a shady spot and sprawl for a couple minutes, his tongue protruding past his canines like a lurid pink gangplank. I don’t take him for the primal vibe. Were the urge to grab a spear and take a domesticated hunting companion out to catch the scent of a saber-toothed tiger in my mental cards, the jangling of tags on JD’s collar would tend to dispel the reverie. I take him because he loves going … anywhere. Time was when JD’d scramble out of the car at the trailhead, clamp the leash with his teeth, shake it till his head nearly popped off, and scamper away with a growl and a grin. I was happy to indulge his Alpha philosophy: Life is like a dogsled team. If you ain’t in the lead, the scenery never changes. But when I took him to Mt. Diablo last week, he exited the vehicle like a former Olympic gymnast – from the Rome games in ’60. He stuck the landing with remarkable grace for his age but didn’t earn any medals. He hit the trailhead at a trot, not the reckless gallop of his prime.

JD catches a breather atop Meteor Hill overlooking Mt. Diablo’s Donner Canyon. Secretariat put out to pasture. We hopped off-trail and trudged up a formation I call Meteor Hill. A few years ago he’d give me that “are we there yet?” look after three miles. Now it’s a mile. The first hint he’s done for the day: he falls behind. Oh, he can keep up; he’s simply
suggesting a different direction – back. I stop to savor the scenery and he starts retracing our steps. Then his tether runs out. Sorry, Jack. Your pack leader isn’t ready to pack it in just yet. One reason I choose off-trail routes is JD’s paws. Make that four reasons. Like
the tread on old tires, his pads are wearing down. Grass goes easier on those aging tootsies than the hard dirt of the trail. Even a few years ago, when it became clear on our descent from Eagle Peak that his feet were killing him, I portaged him over the rocky passages like a kayak over sandbars – and gave thanks he wasn’t a 70pound Lab. Now, as the canine equivalent of me at 80, he’d be hard-pressed pull off Eagle Peak in the first place. Once upon a time, a hike with the hound required extra vigilance. A ground squirrel would scurry across the trail and JD’d be after him like a heat-seeking missile. He’d also be a handful when we’d run across another dog – straining at the leash, ignoring my reasoned directives. It was hard to blame him. Were I the domesticated minion of a more intelligent being (and what married man isn’t?) and spotted another human on the trail, I’d go bonkers, too. But now JD’s as mellow as Grandpa out for a round of golf. I watch his ears flop merrily along and feel a pang of sadness. Since the first canine was domesticated some 14,000 years ago, our dogs have become so intricately intertwined with us that they’ve lost their beasthood. Condemned to the limbo between their ancestors and their tamers, they can’t fend for themselves in the wild; can’t open a can of Alpo. And yet … something about JD strikes the wild chord. “One does not meet oneself until one catches the reflection from an eye other than human,” wrote Loren Eiseley. My old hound might lack the wariness of the coyote and the lethality of the cougar. He might lack the selfsufficiency of every creature giving us a wide berth in the wild places. He might lack the jauntiness of his youth. What he see Outside page 9A

Jacket Chan buzzes into Adams by Samie Hartley Staff Writer
He doesn’t know martial arts or star in major motion pictures, but Jacket Chan has fans at Adams Middle School. In an effort to boost school spirit, the video productions class sponsored a name-the-mascot contest earlier this month, inviting students to chime in with suggestions for the mascot’s new name. A list of potential names was narrowed down to five choices, which included Buzz and Sting – also appropriate names for the Adams’ yellowjacket, and the student body voted during their morning advisory class. Jacket Chan is an Adams Middle School take on Jackie Chan, the actor known for movies such as “Rush Hour,” “Shanghai Noon” and the 2010 update of “The Karate Kid.” The whole idea began when the video productions class decided to run a spotthe-mascot contest during the morning announcements broadcast as a way to encourage students to pay attention to important reminders. As part of the contest, the yellowjacket is hidden somewhere on screen and classes are asked to call in once they spot it. The contest was unanimously supported by the video productions class, which produces the morning announcements, but the contest also raised questions: who is this mascot, anyway? “The students wanted to know if the yellowjacket had a name,” said Productions Advisor Patrick Rockenbaugh. “I didn’t know if the mascot had a name, so I asked around, but no one seemed to know. So I went to Leadership Advisor Laura Bascom and she told me the mascot was named Buzz. “The students thought they could come up with a name with more personality, so we started the contest, and they chose Jacket Chan. It won by a margin
Outside from page 8A radiates in abundance is abandonment to the moment, total immersion in every sight, sound and scent in that realm I visit, at times, in a haze of human awareness that my tether is running out, too. I watch him bob and weave up the trail, head down, and wonder what scents he’s catching. Boasting 25 times my olfactory receptors, he could teach me a thing or two about East County ecosystems. Suddenly he stops, cocks his head and lifts a paw. He doesn’t seem to be looking anywhere; just listening. His auditory reach extends to 45,000 Hz; mine to 23,000 at best. In some ways – in the most meaningful ways – he’ll always be a better hiker than his master. Maybe that’s why, when I first pull out the leash and utter the incantatory “outside,” he still whines, yaps and whirls like a dervish. He has no vision of the ordeal ahead; no grasp of his mortality. His imagination extends to memories of sights, sounds and scents – and days in the sun with another old dog.

of about 60 percent. The students really liked that one. Sting was also popular, but it didn’t stand a chance.” Adams eighth-grader Nicole Loeffler spearheaded the project. “We’re trying to do a lot of new things with the morning announcements so that students will watch the show. We thought the namethe-mascot contest would be fun. The students voted in their advisory classes and now our mascot is Jacket Chan. It’s a really unique name.” Through the mascot-naming process, students were able to interact with the show, and Loeffler hopes that more stu-
dents will be inclined to watch the show each morning instead of daydreaming and missing out on campus news. But Jacket Chan’s reign is uncertain. Rockenbaugh is suggesting that every three years, a new name is picked by the next group of students that pass through Adams, allowing each group to customize its own school spirit. Principal Scott Vernoy said he accepts the students’ decision to name the mascot Jacket Chan. “It was students’ choice. It’s not the name I would have gone with, but there’s nothing wrong with that.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

New perspective on Citizen of the Year I had written about Brentwood Chamber of Commerce Citizens of the Year every year for 15 straight years, but it all came to a screeching halt after Gene Clare in 2009. Gene, like those who preceded him, was easy to write about because of the man he is. He was actually even easier ON than most because EADLINE he fell off his roof just before his selection and got picked anyway. But then, in 2010, they picked me. There was plenty to write about, from the fact that I was RICK humbled by the highLEMYRE est honor I’d ever received, to the fabulous dinner in January with family and friends, to the fact that my dad left his convertible’s top down as he conveyed me through The Streets of Brentwood in a rain-drenched parade in November. I just couldn’t write about myself, but I figured that’d be OK. But when it came time to write about this year’s selection, Jeff Schults, a man I greatly respect and whom I
D
had nominated, the words still wouldn’t come. Maybe it was my new perspective, having been named to that assemblage of do-gooders myself. It also might have been due to my linear thinking: It’s tough to go to work on Chapter 17 when Chapter 16 was never written. I met Jeff about a decade ago, around the time he retired and threw himself full-time into helping other people. I still know relatively little about his career, his family or even his passion for snow skiing – I mostly know him as a stalwart community supporter who can always be counted on. Over and over and over again, he has been a go-to guy for me and virtually any other charitable effort he found out about. Since meeting him, and after working with him on countless projects, I’ve come to think of Jeff as a steady-asshe-goes kind of guy, one I’ve never seen rush around but who still somehow manages to show up everywhere. His round, beaming face and constant mantra of “It’s all good, dude” have defused more than one tense situation, and made him one of the guys about which people say things like “Oh, good – Jeff

his. But no matter how he gets there, he always gets there. Like every Citizen of the Year, Jeff deserves a hearty pat on the back for what he’s done – Relay For Life, PAL, the Liberty Ed Foundation, Brentwood Regional Community Chest, Rotary, Kiwanis and plenty more. He’s made a tremendous impact on the organizations he’s worked with as well as their beneficiaries, and it’s pretty clear things just wouldn’t be the same around here without him. So thank you, Jeff, for your work and your leadership and for pitching in whenever you’re asked. I’m proud to call you my friend and be part of a community that places a high value on the things a Citizen of the Year does. You’ve been reliable, inspirational, helpful, fun and flexible (except, perhaps, in the occasional opinion). You’ve done a lot of things for a lot of people, but I’m willing to bet that overcoming writer’s block is not one of the things you’ve helped someone with before, but now you have.

OBITUARIES Carl Cantwell
Charles Richard “Pa” Cudney
Aug. 15, 1935-Jan. 22, 2011 Brentwood resident Carl Cantwell went home to the Lord after several months of bodily weakness, which he faced with a powerful spirit of love and confidence in his Savior. His testament to the grace of God touched and enriched many, both through the way he lived his life and the way he faced his death. Carl was born in Billings, Mont. and moved with his family to Oakland while he was a toddler. He graduated from Oakland’s Fremont High School and Laney College with a diploma in photography. Carl worked for 20 years as a camera expert and later for Alameda County as a draftsman. He has lived for 20 years in Contra Costa County. Carl was an active volunteer in many and varied Brentwood activities such as a trained peer counselor for Brentwood Delta Community Services, Inc., serving others at Brentwood Senior Center, and was on the resident councils at Sycamore Gardens and Eskaton Lodge. He organized activities at Neighborhood Church and was active in classes at the Brentwood Church of Christ, where he was a member for the last five years. Carl was devoted to finding his Lord for more than 50 years. He is survived by one daughter and many friends. Graveside services were held Feb. 16 at Union Cemetery in Brentwood. Friends are also invited to a Celebration of Remembrance on Sunday, Feb. 27 at 3 p.m. in Eskaton Lodge, 450 John Muir Parkway in Brentwood. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Carl’s favorite charity, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105 or at www.stjude.org.

Knightsen, Bethel Island, and even parts of Discovery Bay are very much able to participate in this federally insured program. For this program, you don’t need to be a “first time home buyer” – you just need to be a “low- to moderateincome” buyer. If your annual income is less than $95,000 for a family of 1-4 people, or less than $125,400 for a family of more than 4 people, you may be able to take advantage of this 100% financing program.” Mark Twain and Will Rogers alike shared a sentiment. As Twain stated, “Buy land, they’re not making it anymore.” Our current financial markets are in turmoil and constantly looking to rebound, however one thing is for sure, the value of land will rebound. With the Federal Government truly offering no money out of pocket purchasing, now could very well be the best time since Mark Twain’s death in 1910 to purchase a home!

This previous weekend – interesting weather and all – I headed out on the infamous Delta for the fourth time in my entire life. After each adventure, after we dock the boat for the day and I’m driving home, I always think to myself, there is so much untapped land throughout this area. Certain pockets of the Delta’s canals are legally zoned as “rural areas”, and as such allow for special financing offers from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). These loans, known as USDA Home Loans, are very unique in that they are one of the only remaining ways to obtain 100% financing – that’s right, there is no down payment required. In theory, the government is allowing for the foundation in which this nation was built to stay alive. By offering low to moderate income families the ability to purchase new (constructed within the last 12 months), or existing (constructed more than 12 months ago) homes in cities that have a population of no more than 10,000, the spirit of the mid 1800’s is truly still alive. Certain areas with a population up to 25,000 can still be considered…each USDA Home Loan is run through the nationwide to system to see ensure the property is eligible. Either way, our local areas such as

Volunteering in Antioch The community of Antioch has recently enjoyed a groundswell of support from residents who wish to contribute to their community. In response, city officials have provided this list of organizations that offer volunteer opportunities locally.

Volunteers from page 3A “People are contacting me for applications or they’ve had trouble reaching someone at the police station because they have limited hours,” Gougeon said. “It seems like I’ve kind of been the go-between in making those connections, which is really, really good.” Many of the residents who attended that TBA forum went to the revitalized Saturday cleanup the next day, picking up trash at Meadow Creek Park. Antioch resident Alan Bayson, on his 49th birthday, surprised his family, who thought he was taking them out to breakfast, by contributing to the volunteer effort at the cleanup. “I’ve always been reading the police bulletins and it happened to fall on my birthday, so I was excited to surprise my family and not tell them till the very last minute what we were going to do,” said Bayson, a five-year resident of Antioch. “They enjoyed it; they had a good time.” One of the residents who helped bring the first Saturday clean up back from the R MEDA VE AWARD

budget cutting board, Dennis Jeglum, also heads up the Graffiti Abatement Program (GAP). Jeglum, a retired officer, drives through Antioch cleaning up the tagging, but his help is dwindling. Jeglum said that last year, 13 people went through the four-hour GAP seminar, but there are only three volunteers today, not counting him and City Councilman Gary Agopian. The program runs entirely on donations. “When we see graffiti, we stop and paint it up immediately,” Jeglum said. “By getting more volunteers, our goal is to put that truck out eight hours a day, four days a week.” Thanks to the recent surge in volunteerism, more than 10 people have signed up for this year’s orientation, to be held Monday, Feb. 28 at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers. People can also sign up to participate in GAP through the city’s website. Jeglum is also manning Keep Antioch Beautiful day, a citywide cleanup scheduled for April 23.

Got Sinusitis? Those annoying leg cramps by Marla Luckhardt It’s the middle of the night and I’m enjoying an entertaining Technicolor dream. My dream takes an ugly turn, however, when I feel what I’m dreaming: a harsh pain shooting through my foot and leg. I wake up to find this is no dream, and bound out of bed and walk the floor, whispering ow ow ow ow ow . I try walking off the spasms while not awakening my snoring husband. Just when I believe the pain has subsided and I get back under the blankets, the twinge starts again – and up I go. In the morning and with bloodshot eyes, I researched the cause of these awful cramps and how to stop them before they ruin a perfectly good dream sequence and crucial night of sleep. Muscle cramps are sudden and uncontrolled muscular contractions that usually start in the legs; most often in muscles that cross in the calf, foot and hamstring. They strike most often at night, causing that awful disruption of sleep. Factors that contribute to muscle cramps are dehydration, excess weight, electrolyte imbalances, muscle fatigue and medications such as statins. Changing shoe heel levels and starting a new exercise regimen can also trigger leg cramps. There doesn’t seem to be a cure for all muscle cramps, but proper hydration, regular stretching and gradual buildup to an exercise regiment will help. Ask your doctor before you begin any exercise program. As for hydration: water is life, the body needs it to survive, and the muscles are no exception. If you get one of those cramps, and jumping out of bed isn’t an option, rub, stretch and massage the cramped muscle gently with your hands and fingers.

Usually the cramp is short lived and goes away after a minute or two. If it you don’t get relief, a hot shower or warm bath can help. I usually walk it off – but I still hate getting out of that warm bed! Leg cramps are rare but if you experience recurring problems with them, ask your doctor for an evaluation, including your electrolyte and potassium levels. Your doctor might be able to prescribe a muscle-relaxing medication based on your medical history and your current medicine intake. I, for one, have mastered the Cramp Cha Cha. One, two, ow ow ow.

During the winter months, when our homes are heated with dry air, it’s important to keep our nasal passages moist. An easy way to do this is to sniff a salt solution into both sides of the nose two to four times a day. To prepare a solution of proper strength, add ¼ teaspoon of table salt to a cup of warm water and stir it until all the salt is dissolved. Sniff some from a spoon or other small container into each nostril. You can also buy prepared nasal saline products such as Ocean, Simply Saline or generic equivalents from drug stores. Such solutions can be used to wash away mucus from the membranous lining of the nasal passages and shrink swollen nasal passages. Mucus and swollen membranes can block openings of the sinuses into the nasal passages. Sinusitis will then occur if nasal bacteria infect the mucus, which can no longer drain from the blocked sinus. Treatment of sinusitis (rather than its prevention) often requires the use of antibiotics. Since research suggests that nasal saline irrigation does not significantly reduce the incidence of colds, some doctors are not enthusiastic about the treatment. But don’t confuse colds with sinusitis. Viruses cause colds, while sinusitis is a bacterial-induced complication for some colds. Irrigation of the nasal passages with saline cannot kill viruses or bacteria, but it does help reduce the incidence of sinusitis in people with a tendency to develop this common complication of colds.

Victorious from page 21A The Panthers (14-11, 7-2 BVAL) were issued two technical fouls in the final two quarters and allowed the Lions to creep back into a game that looked over by halftime, when Antioch held a 33-18 lead. The Panthers stormed to a 22-4 advantage in the first quarter, but fought to keep Liberty at arm’s length later in the game. In the end, Antioch’s senior leadership (all but two players are fourth-year athletes) and athleticism meant the difference. “It got heated, but I just like to keep calm and collected and tell my teammates to do the same thing,” said senior guard Aris Morton. “We came out with a ‘W’ and that’s all that matters.” Morton led the Panthers with 19 points. Fellow senior guard Jamaal Davis netted nine; senior guard Namuji Madoshi finished with eight points. Woolery, who was often animated Tuesday night on his side of the bench, said it was difficult trying to keep his players under control when the game grew tense. “Our whole thing all year is just lack of discipline,” Woolery said. “I think if we play how we should play, like the first few minutes of the game, then we’re fine. But we

just have those lapses and we lose concentration.” The Lions (11-14, 2-7 BVAL) were able to come back, trimming the margin to as little as nine, but could never quite turn the corner. Liberty was paced by sophomore guard Brandon White, who posted a gamehigh 20 points. Senior guard Matt Sisneros, playing in his final game on the Lions home court, finished with eight. Sisneros was one of three Liberty players – along with Cole Tom and Jordan Oliver – honored before the game as part of senior night. “That was like an away game for us,” Sisneros said. “It kind of motivates me because I like that. That’s what basketball’s all about to me – just those crazy games and the energy in the gym.” Antioch hosts Freedom on Friday night; the Lions travel to Deer Valley to finish the season. Liberty came out with a win in the junior varsity game, easily taking care of Antioch 57-28. Junior Basmagian led the Lions with 12 points; Antioch’s Eddie Johnson scored a team-high seven.

ing a senior-laden team, the Wolverines’ departing seniors feel that the team will be left in good hands: a good coach in Howliston and a strong group of underclassmen and junior varsity players. “I think it’s left with a solid skeleton,” said Ortlieb. “I don’t know who will fill in
where, but with that strong skeleton, I see them getting back to NCS.” The Wolverines began their playoff run at home against Richmond on Wednesday, Feb. 16. Should they keep winning, the No. 3 seed guarantees them at least two home games.

“The way we’re playing, I think we have a good chance at winning and moving on,” said Howliston, who has coached at Deer Valley since 2006. “But you never know. It’s all a lottery; it’s like a new season is just starting.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Study from page 21A said. “To place third like that is really exceptional. She lost in overtime to the girl that won it, so she was right there.” Diaz has always been an athletic girl. She played basketball for Liberty for a while, but she didn’t feel as motivated playing for a team. Individual sports such as wrestling and boxing put the focus, the blame and the responsibility all on the competitor – something she craves. Diaz has always been drawn to contact sports. “LA Boxing had me fit for this, so I didn’t come in weak – I had strength,” Diaz said. “I love physical activities. I’m OK at team sports, but I do a lot better with individual sports. You can blame only yourself.” As a boxer, she’s earned high praise and respect from those at LA Boxing. The owner of the gym, Joseph Garcia, said the team only started about eight months ago, but Diaz has stepped up to lead. The team fields about 15 boxers from ages 5 to 30, who compete in exhibition matches against other local gyms. “She’s one of our strongest boxers right now, as far as determination and her fighting skills,” Garcia said. “She was not afraid to go in and engage at first. Now she’s a smart fighter.” It was Kristina’s younger sister, Nicole, who actually convinced her to step onto the mat.

tler, working with the freshman team as she learned the techniques. Shortly after, she asked Chappel if she could compete with the varsity squad as a way to push herself harder. The coach saw Diaz’s motivation and granted her request. “She was able to pick up moves quickly,” freshman wrestling coach Mike Mundy said. “She’s still doing beginner-type things, but you can see that she’s learning and getting better and better at what to do as things go on. You can see the progression.” Diaz is going down a path paved by Brittany David, who graduated from Liberty last year and is now wrestling for Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Mo. Chappel regards David, a four-time NCS champion, as tougher than many of his boy wrestlers. Diaz is now one of three wrestlers on Liberty’s team, the others being freshman Karley Maniatis, who competed at the NCS tournament in the 126-pound bracket, and junior Paula Ramirez. Chappel said more and more girls are becoming interested in the sport, traditionally known for its machismo aura. While Diaz said David’s success has motivated her and that she’s a great helping hand, the junior is determined to forge her own legacy at one of the best wrestling programs in the Bay Area. “People ask me if I’m trying to be the next Brittany, but Brittany’s Brittany and I’m me,” Diaz said. “All the girls encourage other girls to (wrestle), because there’s so little of us. … It helps and encourages me, because if she did it, I can do it too.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Wolverines edge Patriots in Senior Night shootout by Michael Dixon Correspondent
Tuesday’s boys varsity basketball game between Deer Valley and Heritage was one of the most exciting, frenetic and high scoring Bay Valley Athletic League games of the season. The Wolverines held off a strong Patriots finish to close the game out 85-79. With 13 seconds remaining and Deer Valley nursing an 81-79 lead, Wolverines senior forward Obah Pope stepped to the free throw line. As a loud and hostile crowd tried to distract him, Pope nailed both free throws, effectively putting the game out of reach. The Patriots failed to score on the ensuing possession and sophomore guard Kendall Smith scored the last of his team-high 32 points to put the nail in the coffin. “All we do is practice free throws,� said Pope, who scored all of his eight points in the fourth quarter. “Most of the time, we’re not a good free-throw-shooting team. We were just working out free throws in practice, when it’s game time; it feels good to knock them down.� The teams played much better in this game than in their first match-up, a convincing yet sloppy Wolverines win. Heritage’s 39 first-half points nearly matched its 43point total in the first meeting. The Patriots, celebrating senior night, honored eight seniors in a pre-game ceremony. Head coach Pat Cruickshank went with a starting five of seniors Dorian Hardy, David Nelson, Kyle Reynolds, Kyle Grant and Brian Quinn – all part of last season’s league championship team. On senior night, it was fitting that Hardy and forward Xavier Watson, both seniors, led the Patriots attack. Watson scored a game-high 35. “We battled until the end. We came into this game with a lot of belief and 100-percent effort,� said Hardy, who complemented Watson with 26 of his own, 16 in the
fourth quarter. “I was just feeling it, and I know Xavier was, too. I was just trying to get him the ball, get other players the ball and wait for my own opportunities.� The loss dropped the Patriots to 15-10 overall, 5-4 in league. They are likely to return to the playoffs, regardless of the outcome of Friday’s game at Pittsburg. Still, the Patriots will qualify for the playoffs as an at-large bid, meaning their chances of hosting a playoff game are almost nonexistent. Deer Valley’s 7-2 league record still gives it a chance to lock up at least a share of the league title and a high playoff seed. On Friday, the Wolverines host a Liberty team that they’ve already beaten by 19 points this season. Antioch is also 7-2, but the Panthers host a Freedom team that has already beaten them. Deer Valley’s consistent offensive effort against Heritage racked up 20 or more points in every quarter but the first, offsetting a 28-point Patriots fourth quarter by scoring 27 of their own. Senior big man Andre McPhail complemented Smith’s 32 with 24 of his own. “This is their place, and they shoot well in their place. We were expecting that,� said head coach LeChet Phillips. “They played tough, just as I expected them to do. They never let up. They’re a well-coached team.� Another key to the Wolverine victory was uncharacteristically good free throw shooting. Six of Pope’s eight fourth-quarter points came from the line. In total, Deer Valley was 21-for-27 from the charity stripe. “I think we’re looking pretty good,� said McPhail. “We have our game on Friday and we have a chance to compete for a league championship finally. That’s what we want. And then it’s on to the playoffs.� The exciting Wolverines win in the varsity game matched the excitement of the junior varsity game, in see Shootout page 26A

Deer Valley out-Foxes Heritage by Justin Lafferty Staff Writer
Photo by Curtis Evans
Wolverines senior guard Raven Fox, seen here earlier this season, scored 18 of her 23 points against Heritage on Tuesday night in the first half.
Shootout from page 24A which Deer Valley edged Heritage 54-51 as the Patriots missed a three-point shot at the end of the game that would have tied the score. That provided an identical ending to the first one, only with a different winner. Robert Bershell led the Wolverines with 19;
Earlier this season, Tuesday’s Deer Valley and Heritage varsity girls basketball rematch looked like it could have been a deciding factor for the Bay Valley Athletic League title. Instead, the game proved to be a showcase of why the Wolverines have dominated the league in recent years. Deer Valley came away with an easy 75-39 victory. Wolverines head coach Mark Anger said that the first half of Tuesday’s game, which his players led 39-9, was some of the best basketball he’s seen them play all year. Senior guard Raven Fox, who will attend Fresno State next year on a full scholarship, scored 18 of her 23 points before halftime. After that, Anger started to cycle in some of the reserves. Sophomore guards Erin Asher and Haley Love each scored a team-high seven points for the Patriots. Junior guard Monique Mulder contributed 10 points. Senior guard Imana Samuels scored nine and came away with seven steals. Anger said he studied tape of the first Heritage/Deer Valley match-up, which the Wolverines won 71-57, and found that while his players created numerous turnovers, they weren’t following them up with points. That’s something Deer Valley changed on Tuesday, capitalizing on Heritage mistakes. Deer Valley (16-7, 8-0 BVAL) travels to Liberty on Friday to finish its regular season; Heritage (16-9, 5-4 BVAL) faced Pittsburg on Thursday.
Ethan Magalei scored 14 for the Patriots. Freedom 82, Pittsburg 60 Freedom senior guard Andrew Gardner’s game-high 19 points paced the Falcons in an 82-60 win over Pittsburg on Friday night. Sophomore guard James O’Neal scored 15; senior forward Darrell Greene,

Liberty 62, Antioch 47 A big night from Bernadette Fong helped Liberty cruise to a 62-47 victory over Antioch on Tuesday. The Lions junior center put up a game-high 34 points, her best scoring output of the season. On Jan. 28, Fong scored 23 points against the Panthers, now her secondbest game of the season. Liberty sophomore guard Gabrielle Freeman netted 16, sophomore guard Erin Morgan contributed seven and senior guard Gabby Worley finished with five points. “I’m thrilled because the second half of league (play), we needed to win the games we lost in the first half, and we have done that,” Lions head coach Debbi Weil wrote in an e-mail. “It truly has been a magical season; it has been so much fun being around this group of girls.” Liberty (16-9, 6-3 BVAL) faces a tough match-up, hosting Deer Valley on Friday to finish the regular season; Antioch (5-19, 1-7 BVAL) takes on Freedom in the last game of the season.

Heritage wrestlers learn on the mat by Michael Dixon Correspondent
The Heritage High varsity wrestling team is small, but learning. A standard wrestling squad will field about 50 athletes. Between the Patriots junior varsity and varsity squads, which are interchangeable in some weight divisions, the Heritage team is about 20 strong. More than half of the Patriots grapplers are underclassmen and many had little to no wrestling experience before this year. Head coach Mark Barnes works off campus but is the defensive coordinator for the freshman football team in the fall. It was there that he recruited many of the young Heritage wrestlers. One of the Patriots’ most experienced wrestlers is Clayton Hambrick, a top competitor in the 152-pound class. “I think they’re adjusting very well, a lot better than I adjusted when I was younger,” said Hambrick of his younger teammates. “They’re learning how it is, making weight with everybody, and keeping their weight down.” The Patriots are small in another way. Injuries to their key heavyweight wrestlers have depleted their ranks – down to zero – in that class. Additionally, Will Oliver, who recently signed a football scholarship to UCLA and had wrestled for three

The inability to field a full team puts Heritage at a disadvantage against every team in the Bay Valley Athletic League, with the exception of Deer Valley. And yet in the recent Heritage loss to a strong Antioch team – a contest in which the Pa-

Winter from page 27A ites to emerge as victor of the tournament this year, led by 145-pound senior Jesse Baldazo. The California Wrestler ranks Baldazo sixth in the state in his weight class. The magazine ranked Lions 135-pound senior Nico Serrano 21st and 112-pound sophomore Austin Solari 26th. Last weekend, Liberty took home third at the NCS dual competition, losing a close match to James Logan. Head coach Greg Chappel accepted responsibility for the loss, as a lineup snafu forced the Lions to forfeit a match. Taking that overall performance into account, Chappel said he likes where his team is right now, heading
into the league tournament and next weekend’s NCS team tournament. “I thought we wrestled to our potential (in the dual meet),” Chappel said. “Once they make weight, then we just have to wrestle to our ability and maybe upset somebody or keep doing what we’ve done if we’re the No. 1 ranked team.” The Lions face stiff competition at the BVAL tourney from a talented Freedom team, which finished second in the regular season. The Falcons boast a few ranked grapplers, led by 119-pound junior Roman Garcia, No. 13 in the state according to The California Wrestler. Senior captain Zack Wiley, at 130 pounds, is ranked 22nd in his weight class. Freshman Ricky
triots were forced to forfeit seven matches – Barnes found consolation: in the seven matches that were wrestled, Heritage won five; the Panthers two. In his first season as the Patriots’ head coach, Barnes has coached all around the country for the last 25 years. He began coaching at Heritage because
his son Dalton wrestles for the team. A junior, Dalton also plays tight end for the Patriots football squad. For some, wrestling is a sport that can occupy 11 months of the year. Citing himself as an example, coach Barnes pointed out that wrestling is a great way to keep kids out of trouble. It gives them not only a place to go, but a safe and legal outlet to release aggression. “It’s a family. You sweat together, you bleed together, and you make weight together,” said Barnes. “For some tournaments, you leave at 5:30 in the morning on a Friday and don’t come home until Saturday night. So you spend two days cooped up together.” Although the new wrestlers have picked up the game with surprising speed, they’ve also taken their lumps. Many of the top wrestlers in the area have been involved in the sport for most of their lives. Some are ranked among the top wrestlers in the state. “Kids that are my age, I have done pretty well against,” said freshman 125pounder Nathan Cleverly, a football player recruited by Barnes in the fall. “It’s the older, more experienced wrestlers that I have had problems with. They are a lot stronger and I need to get stronger.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.
Building a legacy In its first full year of competition, Brentwoodbased Legacy Cheer & Dance earned several first-place titles in addition to its recent national ranking. Founded in 2009, Legacy Cheer and Photo courtesy of Tuli Ojala Dance enjoyed an especially successful 2010. After earning five first-place regional titles, Legacy Cheer & Dance competed at the 2011 JAMZ Nationals Cheer Competition in Las Vegas in three categories: Dance, Show Cheer and Hip Hop. The team brought home three third-place trophies, beating out up to 10 teams in each division. For more information, e-mail legacyyouthcheer@ gmail.com or call 925-757-8020.
Coster, 112 pounds, could also be a factor in the postseason. Freedom head coach John Parsons feels that his team underachieved this season and has a chance to bounce back on Friday. “We’ve got some guys that are sick and some guys that are beat up, but we’ll be all right,” Parsons said. “Hopefully they’ll come back, gel as a group and win the tournament. … They need to get out there and push Liberty to the brink.” Antioch placed third in the league standings, but had a rough time in the NCS dual meet. The Panthers drew one of the top teams in the state in the first round, De La Salle, and lost 67-12. In the conso-
lation bracket, Antioch lost to fifth-seeded Castro Valley 61-9. The Panthers will lean upon their senior leadership – wrestlers such as 160pound Lucas Hudson and 140-pound Joe Baynes.

Cheer from page 1A case. “I think for those girls who took the time to get to know Emily, it was a positive experience,” she said. “But you know, sometimes those who haven’t been around people with special needs don’t necessarily know how to act, and they feel nervous or whatever. I did a lot of reminding not to use the “R” word, and encouraged people to treat her the same as everyone else. For the most part, it went well.” As for Emily McDaniel, being a cheerleader was all about having fun. “I liked it,” she said of the cheer squad. “My favorite parts were the pom-poms, the dancing and the music.” And that, according to Michele, made it all worthwhile. “Socialization was a big part of this experience,” said Michele. “And because Emily is not self-conscious, she is just able to get out there and have a good time. For her, it’s all about who’s coming out to watch her cheer, and who will be in the audience. She’s happy, and that’s all that matters.” “I think that now that Emily has got-

two-lane expressway from Lone Tree Way to Balfour Road and a signalized intersection at Sand Creek Road. The final segment extends from Balfour Road south to Marsh Creek Road as a two-lane highway. Contra Costa County Supervisor Mary Piepho, an outspoken proponent of separating traffic by means of a concrete barrier since the road opened, said her office has drafted a letter to the Bypass Authority asking it to consider implementing additional safety measures. “There are some delineators out there and they are effective to a point,” said Piepho. “But in my letter to the Bypass Authority I am asking them to look into the situation, perhaps consider the concrete barriers and eliminate the passing lane between Sand Creek Road and Lone Tree Way … I think these are reasonable suggestions. I’m not an engineer, but we do need to make sure we are being as engaged as possible.” According to Altman, additional measures such as double-fine zones such as those imposed on Vasco Road might go a long way toward reducing accidents and fatalities. “Even a temporary barrier would work,” he said. “I drive the Bypass almost every day and I notice that where they merge from Lone Tree Way, they have those delineators. But I’ve also seen three different little flower arrangements there … I just wonder if something could be done sooner rather than later.”
Of the five fatalities, two of them occurred at the intersection of Lone Tree Way and the Bypass and two on Sand Creek Road. The fifth death occurred at the intersection of the Bypass and Balfour Road. Brentwood Police Sgt. Walter O’Grodnick agreed that additional safety measures such as delineators or rumble strips would be helpful, but he believes that the most effective defense against accidents rests with the drivers. “We have handled our fair share of accidents on the Bypass, no question,” said O’Grodnick, who manages the traffic division of the Brentwood Police Department. “And I think that safety preventative measures will ultimately be effective. But in my opinion, it’s not the roadway that hurts or injures – it’s the drivers. People need to slow down. It’s been my experience that the primary reason for the accidents is not drugs or alcohol, it’s speed. It’s a two-lane roadway with vehicles traveling at least 55 miles per hour with nothing to slow them down like a traffic signal or stop sign. Ultimately it’s in the hands of the drivers.” “We’ll wait and see what happens with the supervisor’s letter and what the Bypass Authority decides to do,” said Altman. “But I do think it will come down to who takes ownership. Yes, it’s about money, but it all comes down to public safety. I’m just picturing a 200yard temporary barrier to keep people from crashing into each other. It’s that simple.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Keep feathering that 401(k) nest SAMIE HARTLEY
the recent economic recession hit America,
there was little fear that a tsunami was headed toward shore. The waves appeared to be part of the natural ebb and flow of the financial tides. But when the economy took a dive, many Americans resurfaced to find their investments had been swept out to sea. But rather than drift on the warmer, incoming tides of the rebuilding economy, financial advisors are urging Americans to dip their toes in the water and consider reentering the fray by renewing their financial investments, which includes revamping 401(k) portfolios. A 401(k) is an investment plan in which an employer helps employees save for retirement. Employees defer a portion of each paycheck to a 401(k) account and the money rests in that account, building interest. Many employers match
a percentage of the deferred funds, providing 401(k) participants essentially free money simply for participating in the program. According to Kiplinger’s Personal Finance, more than 40 percent of the American workforce watched 401(k) investments decline by 30 percent in 2008. But rather than downplaying the value of stocks, mutual funds and bonds, advisors are encouraging people to continue investing in their 401(k) plans. However, since many Americans are beginning – or re-beginning – their retirement plans from scratch, they need to take a new look at their investment strategy. David Roche, brand manager for Apex Securities and Assets Management in Brentwood, believes that since no two
investors are alike, it’s important to make choices that are right for you. “At Apex Securities, we advise clients to continue looking forward,” said Roche. “Your investment choices shouldn’t be reactive to what happened last year. Just because gold did well last year doesn’t mean it will uphold that trend this year.” Since clients set personal retirement goals, Roche and business partner Treva Black recommend meeting with a financial advisor to discuss the most responsible route to take to achieve those goals. While there are hundreds of investment options for a 401(k), how the retirement funds will be spent is what truly matters. According to Steve Vernon, FSA and blogger for MoneyWatch.com,
a 401(k) should be treated like a retirement paycheck generator. Each month you should take out a regular predetermined “paycheck” from your retirement fund to pay for expenses. “Most of us live paycheck to paycheck while we’re working, so let’s not change this financial discipline after we retire,” Vernon said. Many recently-retired Americans assume their nest eggs will be all they need to live out the rest of their lives, but after you travel the world, refurbish your house and buy a motorcycle or two, you’ll have only so much left, so you need to plan your retirement investments wisely to meet your desired retirement lifestyle. And one way to enhance your 401(k) is to work longer. It’s not what you want to hear, but if you work a few extra years than you originally planned, more money will accrue in your 401(k) account. The important thing now is to jump in and get your feet wet. Meet with a financial advisor to help you plan for the retirement you want. Whether retirement is 10 or 50 years away, it’s never too early to start investing into your future, and a 401(k) plan is one of the best ways to keep you afloat. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

with a little simple planning and a few sharpened pencils, filers this year can minimize the pain and maximize their profits when Uncle Sam comes calling. Tax codes “There are several changes in the tax codes for 2010,” said Pat Reagan, coowner of Reagan Management Services
in Brentwood. “The majority of taxpayers should be aware of these before filing their taxes.” Some of the changes include standard deduction rates and inflation adjustments for itemized deductions, the standard mileage rate for business use, per diem rates, student loan interest, standard deductions, depreciation and amortization, earned income credits and the income levels for which one must file a return. But one of the most significant changes this year comes with the American Opportunity Tax Credit. Renamed from see Tax time page 4B

I Can Handle This On My Own Foreclosure Sales and Short Sales by Joan Grimes, Esq. When a person is behind on a home loan, it is very common to think a foreclosure or short sale will allow them to focus on other debts and thereby avoid a bankruptcy filing. However, all too often, a foreclosure or short sale is still followed by a bankruptcy because there is either another loan on the property which starts collecting on its loan or there are taxes as a result of the foreclosure sale which the borrower was unaware. In many cases, a bankruptcy filing prior to the foreclosure or short sale would have discharged the liability on any additional loans on the property, avoided the tax liability completely and allowed the person to stay in the property several additional months. Additionally, a foreclosure or short sale prior to a bankruptcy filing may cause a person not to qualify for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy leaving a person in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy for 3-5 years. What should a person consider prior to allowing a property to be sold at a foreclosure sale? First, prior to allowing a property to be sold through a foreclosure or short sale, (1) determine the affect of the foreclosure or short sale on your credit, (2) is there any personal liability after the foreclosure or short sale which could be discharged in a bankruptcy filing and (3) is there any tax liability which could be discharged through a bankruptcy filing prior to the foreclosure or short sale. Second, could a Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing avoid a junior lien on your principal residence which would have allowed you to retain the real property? Under the Bankruptcy law, a junior lien on a person’s principal residence which does not attach to equity in the real property, can be avoid through a Chapter 13 Plan. For example, if the current fair market value of a principal residence is $250,000 and the balance on the first deed of trust is $300,000, then a junior lien could be avoided through the Chapter 13 Plan. A Chapter 13

also allows a person to cure a default on a home loan over time which may be all that is necessary to avoid a foreclosure sale. Third, are there any other reasons that a bankruptcy filing may be appropriate prior to a foreclosure sale. The most common reason is that there is significant unsecured debt which can be discharged in the bankruptcy and a bankruptcy filing prior to a foreclosure sale will allow a person to file a Chapter 7 instead of being required to enter into a Chapter 13 repayment plan. In addition, a bankruptcy filing will allow a person to remain in the property additional time. In conclusion, a foreclosure or short sale of real property without a bankruptcy filing may be the right decision. However, a foreclosure or short sale will have serious consequences which should be analyzed by a bankruptcy or real estate attorney prior to the foreclosure sale. This is a complicated area of the law, but a bankruptcy or real estate attorney should be able to make to an analysis of your particular situation fairly quickly.

the already-existing Hope Tax Credit, the American credit can be claimed for tuition and certain fees paid for higher education in 2009 and 2010. The credit is worth up to $2,500 of the cost of qualified tuition and related expenses, and the new credit offers a $700 increase over the previous Hope credit. “This is clearly a benefit to many filers,” said Chris Provencher, owner of Provencher Tax Service in Discovery Bay. “This is for dependents and adults taking qualified classes and courses, and it is for tuition and fees, but not limited to that. It also includes books and supplies. It’s a great thing.” Do it yourself or hire a pro? With the increasing trend toward online filing, you might wonder when it’s appropriate to file your own return or hire a professional to do the work. “From our point of view,” said Reagan, “filing a 1040A or 1040EZ with income from one W2 would probably be OK to file online. However, if there are additional schedules such as A, E or C, and if the taxpayer has a small-business income, owns rentals or purchased or sold a home, they should seek the counsel of a professional tax preparer. The IRS reports that audits are up more than 100 percent since 2001, and many of these are random audits.” Provencher agreed that many taxpayers have jumped onto the e-filing bandwagon, but cautioned that for those with more complicated returns, a knowledgeable professional is the safest way to go. “Each year I would say that about 10 percent of my
clients disappear because they file their own taxes,” said Provencher. “But the following year at least half of them come back, and that’s because the law is not easy to understand and you really have to know what you are doing.” Red flags OK, so you’ve listed every legitimate deduction you can think of and you’ve hired a professional to file your return, but will that guarantee you against a potential IRS audit? Not necessarily. “An accurate tax return can still wave a red flag when a refund is exceptionally high or when certain deductions such as medical, charitable giving or mileage is higher than usual,” said Reagan. “So be careful about documenting the deductions and income that you report.” Keeping good records and receipts is another way to keep the IRS at bay. “Knowing what is deductible and what isn’t is key,” said Provencher. “What will send up a red flag? Anything to do with clubs or social dues; they are not deductible. “I would just tell people to choose your tax professional wisely. There are a lot of folks out there that have hung a shingle but aren’t certified. Take the time and interview a few. It will be worth it.” Provencher Tax Service is located at 5560 Starboard Drive in Discovery Bay. For information, call 925-634-5658.

Managing money after the military JASON ALDERMAN
force after a career in the armed forces can be chal-
lenging even during the best of times. But today’s economic uncertainty and high unemployment rates should prompt retiring and discharged military personnel to seek help in developing a game plan and managing their personal finances during the transition to civilian life. The issue has gained increased visibility by the recent creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Office for Service Member Affairs, to be headed up by Holly Patraeus, wife of Gen. David Patraeus and long-time advocate for educating military families on consumer issues. Here are a few resources to help with the important financial and job-transition decisions you may face:

Cherry’s Tax Facts... By Cherry Comstock
Choosing your Tax Preparer Wisely Choose your “licensed” tax preparer wisely is a bigger decision than it may appear. Taxpayers are legally responsible for what’s on their own tax returns even if prepared by someone else. So, it is important to choose carefully when hiring an individual or firm to prepare personal returns. You should only choose an Enrolled Agent (EA) or CPA, you will find that “licensed” credential tax preparers are professional, honest and provide excellent service to their clients. Here are a few points to keep in mind when someone else prepares your return. A Paid Preparer is required by law to sign the return and fill in the preparer areas of the form. The preparer should also include their appropriate identifying number on the return. Although the Preparer signs the return, you are responsible for the accuracy of every item on your return. In addition, the preparer must give you a copy of the return. • Review the completed return to ensure all tax information, your name, address and Social Security number(s) are correct. Make sure that none of these spaces are left blank. • Review and ensure you understand the entries and are comfortable with the accuracy of the return before you sign. • Never sign a blank return, and never sign in pencil. • A Third Party Authorization Check Box on Form
1040 allows you to designate your Licensed Tax Professional to speak to the IRS concerning your return. Here are some suggestions to consider when hiring a tax professional: • Avoid preparers who claim they can obtain larger refunds than other preparers. If your returns are prepared correctly, every preparer should derive substantially similar numbers. • Beware of a preparer who guarantees results or who bases fees on a percentage of the amount of the refund. A practitioner may not charge a contingent fee (percentage of your refund) for preparing an original tax return. • Choose a preparer you will be able to contact and one who will be responsive to your needs. • Investigate whether the preparer has any questionable history with the IRS Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) for or the oversight agency in states that license or register tax preparers. Unfortunately, unscrupulous “Unlicensed” tax return preparers do exist and can cause considerable financial and legal problems for their clients. Tax evasion is a crime, punishable by up to five years imprisonment and a $250,000 fine. Remember, no matter who prepares a tax return, the taxpayer is legally responsible for all of the information on that tax return.

preparing their taxes correctly. “Being out of work is stressful enough. Not knowing if you’re getting all the tax breaks you should, or being concerned you’re going to make mistakes that may cost you, just adds to the stress,” said Gary Lundberg a tax software professional with CompleteTax. CompleteTax is an online tax software program offering free federal tax preparation for those who were unemployed during 2010. He offers these tax tips to help: Understand what your tax responsibilities are The unemployed are still responsible for filing a tax return and paying income taxes. This includes taxes on unemployment benefits or severance benefits. According

to a nationwide survey conducted by CompleteTax of more than 1,000 taxpayers, many Americans incorrectly believe that being out of work means they’re not required to prepare a tax return or pay taxes. Get all the tax breaks you deserve Being out of work allows you to take advantage of several credits and deductions. For example, certain job-search expenses can be deducted if you’re looking for a job in your current profession. These include travel for job interviews, printing and mailing resumés, and outplacement firm fees. However, the CompleteTax survey found that many taxpayers also incorrectly believe they can deduct haircuts or clothes necessary for job interviews, a home office to use in

their job search and classes to learn new skills outside their trade. Find affordable tax prep and file soon Those using online tax preparation programs can often prepare and file their tax returns for less than $70. The unemployed can file for considerably less. For example, Lundberg notes, CompleteTax offers free federal tax preparation for those unemployed during 2010: “You want to make sure you know what you can and can’t claim. By using a tax program that includes resources to help you make those decisions, you can be confident you’re completing your taxes accurately and getting the maximum tax refund you deserve.”
stocks rather than the safer-but-lower yield from interest-bearing investments. The recent surge in stock prices, he said, can be partly attributed to QE2. The big thing to worry about, Mitchell said, was the country’s debt. For every dollar the United States spends, it borrows 37.4 cents. Interest now consumes about 6 percent of the budget, and that’s expected to grow to 17 percent by 2020. “I don’t care if you’re a Republican or a Democrat or what industry you’re in,” he said. “In the dark of night, you have to admit that that’s not sustainable.” Although foreign investors are currently buying up U.S. debt, it won’t last forever. As happened in Greece, which was forced last year to get massive international assistance to stave off complete collapse, foreign investors will eventually lose interest in buying U.S. debt. “If we want to see how long it will last,” Mitchell said, “we can check with the Greeks.” Another sobering fact can be gleaned from history. International economists Carmen and Vincent Reinhardt recently conducted a study of 15 economic crises around the world over the last 20 years that showed it could take the United States another six years to completely shake off the recession.

Military from page 5B market conditions, resumé preparation and interviewing techniques. The Department of Veterans Affairs’ VetSuccess Program (www.vetsuccess.gov) provides additional assistance to military personnel released because of service-connected disabilities. For those whose disability is so severe they cannot immediately consider work, VetSuccess offers services to improve their ability to live as independently as possible. Finding a job Although expertise acquired during military service often translates readily into marketable civilian job skills, it sometimes takes extra effort to make those links more apparent. Consider these tactics: ♦ Begin your research well before you leave the military – a year or more, ideally. ♦ Contact organizations that link job seekers with military-friendly employers such as Hire a Hero (www.hireahero.org), Military Exits (www. militaryexits.com), Helmets to Hardhats (www. helmetstohardhats.com) and Vetjobs.com (www.vetjobs.com). ♦ Make your resumé civilian-friendly – watch out for military jargon that might be hard to understand. ♦ Become acquainted with and post your resumé on popular online job sites such as Monster.com (www.monster.com), Careerbuilder. com (www.careerbuilder.com) and USAJOBS. com, the government’s official job site (www. usajobs.com). ♦ Many service members have one government-provided relocation left when they leave the service, so if a potential job entails a move
and you’re flexible about where to live, use that free relocation to your competitive advantage. Continuing education While investigating career options, learn what required education or certifications you lack so you can begin acquiring those skills now – or at least map out a game plan for how to proceed after you leave the military. The Post 9/11 GI Bill (www.gibill.va.gov) provides financial support for education and housing to military veterans, including undergraduate and graduate degrees and vocational/ technical training. Other VA-sponsored education assistance programs include: ♦ Reserve Educational Assistance Program for reservists called up to active duty. ♦ Survivors and Dependents Assistance for eligible dependents of certain veterans. ♦ VA Work-Study Allowance Program for full- or three-quarter-time students in college degree, vocational or professional programs. One last tip: Money could be tight during your transition, so it’s vital to develop a budget you can live with. Numerous free budgeting tools, including interactive budget calculators, are available online at sites such as the U.S. Financial Literacy and Education Commission’s www.mymoney.gov, the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (www.nfcc.org), www. mint.com, and Practical Money Skills for Life (www.practicalmoneyskills.com), a free personal financial management site run by Visa Inc.
