Orwood show offers Royal fun Glover offers biz seminar

by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer You can wear your shoes if you want, but the stars of the show will be mostly barefoot during the Extreme Water and Air Show at Orwood Resort on Sept. 19. The annual event is a showcase for some of water skiing’s most renowned athletes, including the world’s fastest female barefoot skier, Teresa Wallace; six-time national barefoot skiing champion Jerry Kanawyer; and Discovery Bay’s own world record holder for tandem speed barefoot skiing, Mike Temby. The exhibition is a fundraiser for the Royal Family Kids’ Camps, a nonprofit organization that sponsors summer camps for abused and neglected children. According to Temby, also one of the organizers of the event, last year’s show drew more than 1,800 spectators and raised $40,000 for the Royal Family organization. “That ($40,000) allowed 40 kids to go to the camp, and this year we’re hoping to do even better,” said Temby. “The best thing about this event is that it allows everyone to change the path of a child’s life. It’s a wonderful thing.” The water and air show will be held from noon to 4 p.m. and will include fly-overs by the Patriots Jet Team, wakeboarding, sky-diving and drag boat ex-

The one bright light that has come out of this down economy is learning that America’s innovative, never-say-die entrepreneurial spirit is still strong. As the recession continues to take its toll on our economy, Americans are seeking ways of generating income by going back to school, gaining new job skills and by starting new businesses or taking their existing business to a new level. Glover’s office has received numerous phone calls from District V residents who would like to know the first steps in starting their own business. The Small Business Development Center has also been receiving similar inquiries. “I’m certain that the poor economy is making people who may have lost their jobs, or face reduced income, re-evaluate how they make a living,” said District V Supervisor Federal Glover. “I’m proud to sponsor a seminar for those who would like to start their own business and/or those people who are just starting out in a new business and want to take the next step to improving their business.” The New/Small Business Seminar will be held Saturday, Sept. 26 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Community Room of Los Medanos College in Pittsburg. Admission is free but pre-registration is required at the supervisor’s Web site, www.cccounty. us/supervisorglover.

Fire damages Oakley church by Samie Hartley Staff Writer

A two-alarm fire caused an estimated half million dollars worth of damage to a church in Oakley on Saturday afternoon. The East Contra Costa Fire Protection District received the report of a fence fire near Destiny Christian Center on O’Hara Avenue shortly after 4 p.m. Since the fire station is located only a block away, firefighters were able to see the rising smoke and initiated a full structure response, according to Interim Fire Chief Hugh Henderson.

The fire was under control by 4:52 p.m., and while the church’s main sanctuary sustained only smoke and water damage due to the quick action of firefighters, the neighboring classroom/daycare area sustained substantial fire damage, as its north wall was closest to the initial blaze. A man was found lying between the fence and the church and was treated on site before being transported to Sutter Delta Medical Center in Antioch. There was no update on his status at press time. Henderson said the source of the fire is unknown, but the incident is under investigation.

For those so inclined, there’s the Annual Freedom Walk at Somersville Town Center. Check-in begins in the main entrance to the parking lot at 5:30 p.m.; opening ceremonies begin at 6 p.m. The event is run by Josie Monaghan, whose pro-troops efforts around East County are legendary. At this year’s Freedom Walk – it winds once around the mall – Monaghan is giving folks the chance to join in Operation Homefront in support of our troops.

It’s also a prime candidate for igniting a wildﬁre. And judging from a citizen’s recent encounter with the Brentwood PD, it’s a way to attract unwanted attention. The driver, pulled over for throwing a lit cigarette out his window, was also discovered to be DUI. He was arrested and taken to county jail in Martinez, where his breath presumably became less ﬂammable.

MTV star rolls into town to help PAL by Samie Hartley Staff Writer Next weekend’s Sk8wars skateboarding competition will be a dramatic event. Not only will there be dramatic action at the Brentwood Stake Park, but MTV reality star Drama will also be making an appearance at the fundraiser to benefit Brentwood’s Police Activities League (PAL). Drama, aka Chris Pfaff, is the cousin of skateboarding star Rob Dyrdek and is featured on Dyrdek’s show “Fantasy Factory,” where Drama serves as the voice of reason, often trying to keep his imaginative cousin out of trouble. PAL president Jeff Altman said the celebrity appearance will be a big boost for the event on Saturday, Sept. 19. “This is a big deal for Brentwood,” Altman said. “It’s not often that you get someone from Hollywood up here. It’s exciting to see a celebrity talking about your event on YouTube.” Last week, Drama posted the video “Sk8warz”on the popular video-sharing Web site to let fans know about the competition. “It’s going to be a lot of fun and I’m going to be there – you should be there,” Drama said in the video, “and I’m guessing there’s going to be a lot of good skating and a lot of good times, so I’ll see you there.” Drama’s special appearance was put together by local business owner Jeremy Jones of Custom One-offs.

MTV reality star and avid skateboarder Drama will make an appearance at PAL’s Sk8wars fundraiser next Saturday. the city about holding a skateboarding event in Brentwood, but when he found out that PAL already hosted a skateboarding competition, he decided to jump on board and help out with the existing event. “I see kids skating in my neighborhood all the time, so I thought it’d make sense to have a skate event, but since PAL already had a skating competition, I decided to join forces with them since it’s for a good cause,” Jones said. “I want this year to the biggest ever, and I hope bringing Drama here will draw a big crowd. We can make our Brentwood feel like the Southern California

Brentwood for a day – bring a piece of Hollywood to us.” Jones also said that aside from the celebrity factor, Drama is a good role model for kids. The young entrepreneur recently launched his own clothing line Young & Reckless, which is now sold nationally at PacSun., and he owns the production company Causin’ Drama. He’s also a talented skater, and Jones said Drama might even show off some tricks during one of the competition’s intermissions. “Drama will also be bringing some of his friends with him, so you’ll never know what to expect,” Jones said. “There will be surprises all day.” Another surprise this year is the change in format. While the past three years have featured the game S-K-A-T-E, where competitors mimic each other’s tricks until one person unleashes an unbeatable skill, this year’s format will be similar to skate exhibition competitions seen at X Games. Altman said past competitors didn’t like the old format, so PAL is trying something new this year. Contestants will have one minute to demonstrate their best skills, and the skater with the best score in each division takes home the top prize of $100. There are competition brackets for ages 6 to 8, 9 to 10, 11 to 12, 13 to 15, 16 to 18, and 19 and older. The top three skaters in each bracket will win prizes. Registration forms are currently available at the Brentwood Police

Department, Boards & More, Brentwood Fine Meats and Harvest Park Bowl. The first 100 contestants to sign up will get a reduced registration fee of only $10, as Foresters will be contributing $15 toward each entry fee to encourage more participation. After the first 100 spots are filled, registration is $25, so PAL Coordinator Officer Roger Wilson is urging competitors to register early. “Last year, we only had 50 kids, so with this generous donation from Foresters, we’re hoping more kids will participate and take advantage of the reduced registration fee,” Wilson said. “This year we’d like to have at least 100 people participate.” The PAL-sponsored skate competition is the nonprofit organization’s largest fundraiser of the year. As the City of Brentwood suspended funding due to budget cuts earlier this year, Brentwood PAL is completely self-funded. But that hasn’t stopped the program from helping at-risk children. PAL has hosted golf, bowling and martial arts leagues this year, and with funds from Sk8wars, Wilson hopes to take a group of kids to a professional football or basketball game later this year and fulfill PAL’s mission to provide quality youth programs that develop discipline, positive self-image, mutual trust and respect. For more information about how to register for Sk8wars, call Wilson at 925-8097768. For those interested in sponsoring the event, call Altman at 925-207-8908.

Dinner will be served at 4 p.m. The house was built in 1878 on 1.3

acres by Brentwood pioneer John R. Byer and was purchased in 1922 by James Nail. In 1986, the Nail family offered the house and surrounding acreage to the ECCCHS. The Byer/Nail House Museum is located at 3890 Sellers Ave. on the Knightsen/Brentwood border. Dinner for the event is $20 for adults and $10 for children 6 to 12. Children under 6 are free.

WHY ARE LOAN MODS SO HARD? There are many people who are having trouble making their house payment right now, and many of them have given up hope, and will lose their homes eventually. However, there is a significant percentage of these people where if their payment was lower, they could afford to make it, and would continue to do so for a long time. But otherwise, they will become another foreclosure, which ruins their credit, and throws their financial life into turmoil for years. And their lender loses big-time in a foreclosure, too. Yes, there are some stories where someone calls up their lender, who DOES approve their loan modification request quickly and reduces their payment to an affordable level. And sometimes they even drop their principal balance (although this is rare). But what I find in many cases is the lender sits on their loan modification request for months, then either turns it down, or approves a minor adjustment along the lines of $50-100 reduction per

month, which doesn’t really improve things for the borrower. Or some lenders just never issue an approval or denial of the modification, it just sits in “pending” status indefinitely. In some cases a loan modification should be a no-brainer. Sure the lender does “lose” money in the short-term in that they are making less money than they had projected, but overall they lose a whole lot less than if it were to go to foreclosure. So when it’s a win-win for borrower and lender, why is it so hard for a lender to approve the loan modification? I’ll look at the various reasons over the next few weeks in a series of articles that will shed some light on this complicated issue.

Youth Commission plans shindig by Samie Hartley Staff Writer The Brentwood Youth Commission made its presence known last week by hosting a meet-and-greet that gave the commissioners a chance to chat with community leaders and discuss issues that affect young people in Brentwood. The event, which was attended by city officials, principals from Brentwood high schools and middle schools, and superintendents of the Brentwood and Liberty High school districts, was deemed a success by Chairman Matthew Strauss.

“I think the event went really well,” Strauss said during the regularly-scheduled commission meeting that followed the mixer. “It was a chance for community members to meet all the commissioners, and it was good experience for the new commissioners who were on the planning committee – a good event to get your feet wet.” Now that all the commissioners have dipped their toes into the waters of civic service, they’re focused on continuing their fundraising efforts so that they can host more community events geared toward the younger sect of the city. In July, the commissioners introduced the

high school dance fundraiser, and based on what they learned from that experience, will host another dance later this year – but this time, Adams, Edna Hill and Bristow middle school students will be invited to hit the dance floor. While the high school dance drew a crowd of approximately 60 students, the commission believes more middle school students would be interested in a dance, especially if it’s in the evening, as most junior high dances are held in the afternoon right after classes conclude. “The middle school dances are held from see Youth page 9A

Take-charge supe scores bus grants Karl Steinberg, supervisor of vehicle and equipment maintenance for the Antioch Unified School District, supervises two vehicle mechanics and works alongside them behind the scenes to assure that buses are properly maintained and able to transport students to educational sites and extracurricular events. Steinberg recently submitted a grant application to Bay Area Air Quality Management District for lower-emission

school buses to replace district buses more than 20 years old. This was not part of his official duties, but he took the initiative to apply for a grant that would benefit district students. His continual follow up with the Air Quality District was instrumental in the school district being awarded the maximum number of buses. The vendor who provided the quotes for the new buses was surprised that the district was awarded all eight buses costing $992,718.28.

State budget cuts dimming Futures Staff Writer

Five days a week, 38-year-old Jeff Reno hops onto the Dial-a-Ride bus to one of Brentwood’s parks and recreation facilities, where he picks up trash, cleans the restrooms and generally assists staff in maintaining the public grounds. Dwayne Green has much the same schedule, riding the bus each day to a designated location where he meets up with Reno and a dozen or so other workers for an eighthour shift. “It’s a good job; I like it,” said Green, 30.

“It pays me well and I like the work.” Green and Reno are part of the Futures Explored program, a statewide nonprofit organization that for more than 45 years has helped individuals with physical and mental disabilities earn their keep and build their confidence through a variety of work and socialskills programs. But due to recent state reductions that have sliced $2.1 million off the nonprofit’s annual East County operating budget, the future of Future’s program is at risk. Heather Hackett, program director for the East County program, says the cuts are about more than lost dollars.

“Our organization provides a variety of services to our clients aside from their jobs, including domestic care, shopping, help with checkbook work and banking and medications,” said Hackett. “What’s going to happen to their lives outside of work is that they may lose some of those services, and that’s a huge blow to their quality of life. We’re used to receiving cuts each year, but this is the worst yet.” The Future’s Explored program is funded by the Regional Center of the East Bay, and supplemented with matching state dol-

As a result of the cuts, Future’s staff is scrambling to sustain the quality of services essential to the program. “Of course we’re doing what we can,” said Hackett. “Staff hasn’t been turning in mileage sheets, and we’re trying to cut down on buying extra supplies and things like that, or we’ll bring things from home if we need them. We’re in this business because we love what do and the difference we make. This is such a life-changing program for so many people.” Reno, 38, lives with his mother in Oakley and has been with Future’s program for a little over three years. For him, the work provides a sense of independence and freedom he might not otherwise enjoy. “This is a good job that keeps me outside and busy,” said Reno, who is mildly mentally challenged. “It’s fun and I can get here by myself and get home. It’s very good.” And the benefits are reciprocal. Brentwood Landscaping Facility Supervisor Will Margesson said Future’s workers provide invaluable services. “They help us out on a lot of jobs and take a real burden off our (parks) crew,” said Margesson. “They’re a real asset and we’re lucky and happy to have them.” Martha Hassler, lead job coach for the Futures Explored program, said she came to the program more than 13 years ago with a need and desire to help: “I came here because I love working with people, and this group is so amazing. But I have gotten so much from this program and these people. Some of them, when they came here, couldn’t even do some-

thing as simple as tie a knot in a garbage bag. “What this gives them is the opportunity to be like everyone else; it gives them self-esteem and independence. I hate to see how the cuts are affecting everyone.” Hackett does too, and said when Gov. Schwarzenegger took office she had high hopes that Futures Explored and those they serve wouldn’t be forgotten, especially given the governor’s relationship with the Kennedy family, which began the Special Olympics. “Yes, we had high expectations with this governor,” said Hackett. “But it’s not looking too good; we’ve been kind of disappointed.” But Hackett and her staff remain determined despite the cuts. “We are tightening our belts,” she said. “We hold a lot of fundraisers, and we have two thrift shops (in East County) which are continuing to do well, and more and more we’re relying on the kindness of individuals who help out. It’s pretty dismal but we’re hanging in there.” Green, who is unaware of the program’s financial woes, is upbeat and optimistic about his future. Now with a steady job, security in a group home and the confidence to succeed, Green is currently taking driving classes and hopes to get his driver’s license in the next few months. They’re small victories that count for much, and the 30-year-old Green is happy for them. “It is exciting,” he said with a shy smile. “I’m happy to be taking the driving classes. I want to learn how to drive.” For more information on the Futures Explored program, or for ways to help, call 925-779-1029, or visit the Web site at www. futures-explored.org.

Delta plans must include Delta people Legislative proposals are attempting to balance two statewide interests: reliable water supply for Southern California and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta ecosystem protection and restoration. There is no doubt that the Delta needs help; the largest freshwater estuary UEST in North America COMMENT is in severe environmental crisis and its ecosystem is crashing. But legislative proposals to address this crisis need to recognize and respond to the third fundamental component that is also part of the statewide interests in the Delta: the Californians who live in the Delta. Disenfranchising the people in one geographic area of our state in favor of those in another should not be the policy of our government. The Delta region – including its agriculture and ecosystem – must also be permitted to thrive. Californians should remember that the changes proposed for the Delta will last for generations and will have a lasting impact on the lives of the 4 million people who live in counties in the Delta. The Delta community must be included in governance of the Delta. There will be severe impacts to the Delta, its economy and its residents by converting

hundreds of thousands of acres of land from farms to habitat, by the failure to address the Delta’s deteriorating levee system and by communities being sliced up, separated by a proposed new ditch the size of the Panama Canal. The Delta’s residents deserve the attention of state lawmakers just as much as other communities that receive water in other parts of the state, and as much as the effort to restore the Delta’s ecosystem. All three are equally important. There are three critical elements that must be included in a Delta legislative plan to make sure Delta communities are part of the solution: • First, governance must include the Delta. Representatives of Delta communities must have a significant presence on all the governing bodies for the Delta. Without that representation, decisions will be made that will affect generations of Delta region residents without their participation. No other area of the state is governed by a separate body without significant local representation on it, and the Delta should not be governed without local representation, either. • Second, Delta residents deserve protection for their own water supply and quality, as plans are being made to protect the water

However, I have concerns with what his letter included and inferred. He stated that “higher dollar value (homes) … will be the priority for firefighters.” I respectfully disagree.

supply and quality of other Californians. We know that the fresh, high-quality water in the Delta is a statewide resource necessary for the well-being of many Californians and it keeps the environment of the Delta healthy. The simple fact is that promises have been made to deliver more water from the Delta than the Delta has the capacity to fulfill. The health of the Delta and the well-being of Delta residents must have equal billing with other statewide needs. That means that only surplus water – water not needed by the Delta itself – should be considered for export to other parts of the state. This has been state law and water policy for decades and should not be altered by this proposed legislation. • Third, there must be a guaranteed funding stream that ensures all of the proposed Delta solutions can be implemented. That means that a comprehensive Delta program must be developed that fairly and completely deals with all Delta issues, including providing mitigation funds for Delta communities that are harmed by these proposed changes to the Delta. Nothing could be worse than going forward with significant Delta projects that don’t have a funding source to be used by Delta communities to mitigate this harm. The millions of people who live in the five Delta

responded as both an OES (California State Office of Emergency) and local government strike team leader to scores of large campaign fires both in Northern and Southern California. Never have I, or my personnel, ever been directed away from any civilian assets (homes) to higher-dollar assets. In fact, I have been on fires where the costs of the aerial retardant drops have far exceeded the assessed value of the property protected. Every fire I have been involved with deployed firefighting resources based not only on need, but also the best allocation of available resources best suited to the situation at hand. Certainly there have been times when structures and neighborhoods had to be triaged based on the fire behavior and firefighter safety, but I have never seen one area ignored simply to save a higher-dollar assessed valuation. I also have concerns with his statement that he would need to be “dragged kicking and screaming by police” from his property if under assault by a wildland fire that threatened his home. First off … when the fire is at its height, the police have pulled back and only firefighters remain; no police around. The firefighters’ main focus should be on fighting the fire, saving property and allowing for their own safety. Homeowners who ignore the evacuation orders of the firefighting experts place not only their own lives in jeopardy, but also the firefighters who are in the area protecting property. Homeowners who ignore the evacuation orders place

counties deserve to know that there will be enough funding to protect them. The Delta is more than a plumbing fixture with an ecosystem problem. It is where we live, work and raise our families. The Californians who live here should have a say in their future, and because Delta communities can’t be separated from the Delta ecosystem and water, no solution will be successful without our involvement. No matter what the legislature or the governor do with new laws, if the Delta community is not a vital and meaningful part of the solution, it will not work. It is a common failure of government to ignore what happens when plans devised in committee rooms are actually implemented. Without our involvement in designing solutions to Delta problems, unpredictable and unintended results will be the outcome. The legislature and the governor can prevent that by making it a priority to have Delta communities involved in any new Delta plans, and they should.

an extra burden on the firefighting resources because life safety takes precedence over property. I have seen countless homeowners declare a false bravado because they have not experienced the true nature of an out-of-control wildfire. Firefighters have … and that is why they declare evacuation areas in the path of wildfires. Citizens who stay behind rarely understand the dangers they are subjecting themselves to and ignore not only their own safety, but the safety of the professionals sent to protect their property. I urge everyone who may be unfortunate enough to receive an evacuation order to please respect, understand, trust and follow the direction of the professionals brought in to try and control an out-of-control situation.

Delta delusions Editor: The state is again trying to save the Delta smelt by proposing a bypass canal that will take more (most) fresh water from the San Joaquin Delta. “Delta pumps throughout the Delta are depleting the Delta smelt.” This is bunk. It’s a state ploy … we have been pumping for years; all species of fish get caught in pumps, but not to the point of extinction. The Delta smelt, salmon, stripers, steelhead and sturgeon all must lay their eggs in pristine fresh water – bottom line. Think about it: the fewer fish eggs that will make it to finger-length size that enables them to make

their cycle to the ocean are short lived because of the salinity. If this were not true, why don’t these fish lay their eggs in the ocean? We have tides in the Delta. Less fresh water means more salt water – an easy equation. Water has become a commodity. It seems to me that the water agencies will do and say anything to get their fresh water, with the state’s backing. The new ploy is that if we don’t take the pressure off of the levees with this bypass, the levees will break. You think just maybe if they take more fresh water that just maybe the tides will make it up with saltwater? And the levees will break anyway. Robert Bay Discovery Bay

Term didn’t sunset Editor: I have tried to keep a low profile regarding my removal earlier this year from the East County Regional Planning Commission by Supervisor Piepho, but her letter to the editor in the Aug. 28 issue of the Press in which she stated that she wants to set the facts straight does not include accurate facts when she mentions my name. In her letter, she stated, “These appointments come with terms as well and are routinely scheduled to sunset, as in the case of Mr. Walter MacVittie.” After serving almost 10 years, four different county supervisors, including Supervisor Piepho, and being reappointed to an additional four-year term, see Letters page 19A

I received a letter from the supervisor stating that she was going to the Board of Supervisors to terminate my appointment mid-term with three years left to serve. She gave no reason for terminating my service other than the excuse that she wanted to have all the commissions that she appointed be coterminous with her supervisorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s term. I believe East County will miss all the hard work that the great ECRPC does. I want to thank all the past commissioners for the dedication and long hours, without any compensation, that they put in to make a better unincorporated East County. People may find faults and problems with the way development has progressed in East County, but I guarantee you that without the ECRPC, it would be a whole lot worse. Walter MacVittie Discovery Bay Former Chair ECRPC

Public pays public employees too much Editor: In response to a recent article in another paper entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where Your Money Goesâ&#x20AC;?: great article! I commend the paper for pursuing the right of the public to know where its money is being spent or wasted. In earlier days, when â&#x20AC;&#x153;public serviceâ&#x20AC;? meant what it says (public service/servant) and salaries were moderate, the public trusted its government to be conservative with spending. Today, government leaders, managers and public-employee unions are as criminalminded as AIG and the rest.

Come on, I see salaries of $800,000; even those $200,000 salaries are a little on the generous side. Checks and balances have been overlooked in the area of overpaid public employees. Unions that represent the private sector can be categorized quite different from the public employee unions. In the private sector, the negotiating is driven by a finite dollar ability to pay. No profit, no raise, no union contract, and the contract can be terminated or adjusted if need be. This is the check and balance of the private sector. Unlike the public-sector unions, negotiations are made by public employees without consequences considered. The county, city or state will not shut down. It is like the fox watching the hen house. An over-negotiated public contract leads to less service or more taxes and fees. The public taxpayer has no say until after the fact. By then (like right now), itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late. It is time to remedy this problem for good. The state legislature, along with all special districts, counties and municipalities, needs a law that regulates raises to the cost of living. This is fair and generous because the private sector today may not even get a cost of living, depending on the circumstances. By this restriction, runaway salaries and overpaid public employees are controlled by the people who pay their salary. Do not misunderstand me. There are special employees who go above and beyond the call of public service. Those special employees (in the law) could be paid an additional amount. However, this would only be see Letters page 20A

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage Matters By Trevor Frey

Mortgage Interest Moratorium Debate home buyers and home owners. This proposal will increase the cost of housing for many middle-class families, particularly in high-cost areas such as California and the Northeast, which will only further undercut the housing market, exert more downward pressure on home values, and work against the President’s efforts to stabilize housing and turn this economy around.” On the other hand, Edward L. Gasser, an economics professor at Harvard University, feels that the Great Depression provided an opportunity to rethink old policies in a major way, and, based on the economic condition that the country is currently finding itself in, Mr. Gasser feels everything should once again be up for debate. “Subsidizing interest payments encourages people to leverage themselves to the hilt to bet on housing markets. The size of the tax benefit is proportional to your debt. The deduction essentially encourages us to make leveraged bets on the swings of the housing market. That leverage means that housing price swings can easily wipe people out. We are currently experiencing the consequences of subsidizing gambles on housing.” Regardless of how this topic reflects you directly, it’s truly important that you’re informed and aware of the conversations taking place around you. If you have any real estate lending related questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to write me at tfreymortgages@yahoo. com or call me directly on my cell phone, (925) 726-1444. – Advertisement

With “so much at stake” during a joint session in Congress, President Barack Obama spoke to both Republicans and Democrats alike this previous Wednesday, the 9th of September, covering topics ranging from healthcare reform to the war in Afghanistan. During his address, however, the notion, or even mention, of the proposed mortgage interest “phase out” was not touched upon, not even once. Last brought up for official debate in 2007 as part of Representative John D. Dingell’s (D-Mich) “carbon tax” legislative reform package, the idea of reducing the mortgage interest tax deduction has only evolved with the times. Currently the idea is very much part of the Obama Administration’s proposed 2010 national budget. The once sacred cow is up again for debate. As it stands, discussion surrounds a cap on the mortgage interest rate deduction: couples earning $208,850 or more would lose the deduction completely. Where households at the 33% and 35% tax rates are currently allowed the deduction, Obama would reduce their deduction to only 28% of the value of those payments. According to Joe Robson, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders, the idea of reducing, if not eliminating, the mortgage interest tax deduction will only further cripple this nation’s economy. “With the housing market still reeling from its worst downturn since the Great Depression, this is not the time to talk about raising taxes on

FEMA snafu costs DB homeowners by Ruth Roberts

“ I expect I’ll be writing a check and then waiting for a

Staff Writer When Omar Kassem opened his mailbox a few months ago, the last thing he expected to see was a letter from his mortgage company notifying him that the Discovery Bay home he has lived in for the past eight years was now located in a special flood hazard zone. Kassem was even more surprised to learn that he, along with approximately 150 other homeowners in Discovery Bay, would be required to purchase flood-protection insurance at an estimated cost of $1,200 per year, and if he declined to buy the policy, his lender would purchase the insurance and bill him; typically at two to three times the standard rate. “I was surprised (by the notice),” said Kassem, who lives on Lido Circle. “It’s amazing to me that I have to deal with this. What happened is that when

Club O from page 1A already-stretched police force, an increase in out-of-town “undesirables,” and the spillover of incidents into the surrounding area. “These people (bar patrons) will go into WinCo, buy a $5 case of cheap beer and carry on the party in my front yard, in the storage facility and on the streets of Brentwood,” one man said. Another man, who said he worked for a business near Red Rhino, said the walls of his establishment were being used as a toilet by departing Red Rhino patrons, and predicted another club would mean more problems. He ticked off a list of similar establishments that have failed in Brentwood, adding he was waiting for somebody to “prove to

refund. It’s all ridiculously frustrating.

”

Omar Kassem FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) remapped their flood plan maps digitally, they drew a line through a corner of my house. There’s a public pier in Lido Circle and normally they draw around the circle, go in and around the pier and then back again. But for whatever reason they drew a line from the pier and didn’t go back around the circle. It’s such an obvious mistake.” The Contra Costa County Public Works Department agrees that FEMA’s new designations are in error and most likely occurred as a result of its nationwide switch to digital flood-insurancerate maps.

According to Greg Connaughton, county assistant public works director, the initial flood-plan map developed by Reclamation District 800 for flood areas in Discovery Bay was sent to FEMA for the digital update, but apparently without enough detail. Although FEMA notified Rec 800 of the problem, there was not enough time for the district to respond before FEMA’s deadline. As a result, FEMA went ahead and designated areas located behind levees as being subject to flooding; boundaries that had never been considered hazardous locations before. “We have been getting a lot of calls

me that a nightclub can work in a community like this.” Councilmembers were also concerned that the club would make a negative impact on the area, especially when it comes to policing, despite more than two dozen Conditions of Approval placed on the project by the Planning Commission in recommending the CUP. Councilman Chris Becnel said a key issue is that the city currently has no mechanism for following up on CUPs and making certain they are being followed years after their issue. He floated the idea of tabling the appeal until the CUP enforcement issue could be addressed, but found little support. Councilman Erick Stonebarger said he was concerned for the impact on of-

ficers, and agreed with residents that the club was not in keeping with the family-oriented community that many of the evening’s speakers cited as their reason for coming to Brentwood. Councilman Brandon Richey said he had similar concerns, while Taylor flat-out rejected the plan, saying, “I don’t want something like this.” Brockman, in voting to allow the club, said he understood the concerns, but thought Tran ought to be given a chance. Saying that the conditions alleged by speakers at the Red Rhino also need to be addressed, and that establishing a CUP enforcement program would do that. He requested a future agenda item so the council can discuss it.

that she’s a hero,” Kruppa said. “She’s still in cop mode. Sometimes I almost want to smack her and say, ‘Look around; take it all in.’” Taylor said Brentwood is a familyoriented place where “you don’t mess with our kids,” and that Jacobs’ actions illustrate that. “Our town is a family, and you’re part of that family,” he said. “I feel humbled as mayor to honor you.” Taylor said that the key given to Jacobs (“I don’t know what it opens,” he cracked) is the second key to the city given out in the city’s history. The first went to long-time resident and volunteer Jeanne Adams.

about this and people are frustrated,” said Connaughton. “But unfortunately it’s really up to FEMA. They own the mapping information and they are the only organization that can change it.” Connaughton said he has been told that FEMA is working on implementing the changes, but the process is slow. The rate maps were issued on June 16, and given the 60-to-90-day processing window, Connaughton doubts the reprieve will come before Kassem’s Oct. 8 payment deadline. Kassem said he is resigned to paying the insurance bill, which is due in full, but admits to being more than a little annoyed. “Even though the issue is in dispute, I still have to pay the full amount (of insurance) up front,” said Kassem. “I expect I’ll be writing a check and then waiting for a refund. It’s all ridiculously frustrating.”

Punt, Pass & Kick to help save Old River

Varsity North running back Marcus Zangai (8) scores his second touchdown as Jr. Hawk defenders give chase.

Patriots overpower opposition Patriots East Hard work and determination paid off for the undefeated Delta Patriots JV East, as they rumbled to their third straight victory with a 33-6 win over the Tokay Jr. Tigers at the Lodi Grape Bowl. Defense was the key all day, as linebacker Christian Anaya provided leadership and linemen Jacob Chatas and Anthony Martinez were in the Tiger backfield for several tackles for losses. Brooklyn Hardiman played his first game this season and knocked down passes in key situations to halt Tiger drives. Patriot running back Carter Lewis

started things right off with a 40-yard rushing touchdown up the middle of the Tokay defense. Guard Lyle Hunter provided key blocks for Zach Hardy, who found the end zone for the first time this season. Offensive tackle Parker Mace sealed the outside for running back Jacob Puente, who scored multiple times. Justin Dam tamed the Tiger defense by scoring the final touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Patriots North The Delta Patriots Varsity North team improved to a perfect 4-0 record after a 28-0 win over the previously undefeated Liberty Ranch Jr. Hawks. The Varsity North shut

down the explosive Hawk offense, dominating the game from the opening kickoff. The Patriot offense was led by running back Marcus Zangai, who scored on three touchdown runs. Elijah Davis put six on the scoreboard as the team racked up 255 yards of total offense. Defensive captain Clark Butler led the hard-hitting Patriot defense in the first half until he went down with a shoulder injury. The defense continued to play hard without its leader, holding the Hawks scoreless and allowing only two first downs the entire game. Davis and Malachi Cheney each pulled down an interception.

Old River Elementary School, with the help of the Delta Patriots Youth Football organization, will host the NFL Punt, Pass & Kick Competition on Sept. 20. The competition is free and open to boys and girls ages 8-15. Entry forms are available online at NFLyouthfootball.com or from the Old River Parent Teacher Club at the school office or at www.knightsen.k12.ca.us/ oldriver.htm.

Age classification is as of Dec. 31 of the current year. The top finishers from each of eight age groups at the local competition will advance to a sectional competition. The scores of the winners at the sectional competition will be compared to other sectional champions; the top four scorers from the pool of sectional champions advance to the team championship see Punt page 21B

Patriots from page 1B half trailing 13-12. The Patriots received the second half kickoff, and starting at their 29, moved into Sun Devil territory with effective running and passing. On a second and 8 at the Mt. Carmel 41, Dalton lofted a spiral down the seam to senior TE Christian Russomanno, who hauled in the pass with a safety draped all over him for the score, putting Heritage back on top 18-13. However, Mt. Carmel answered with some trickery. After moving the ball to the Patriot 29 with bruising running by Nelson and McClelland, QB Wesley Wallace threw a lateral to McClelland, who launched a fleaflicker to wide-open junior RB Matthew Rochelle for a 20-18 Sun Devil lead. The Patriots took the kickoff and began their final drive of the third quarter. Mt. Carmel had momentum and its defense was stoked; the Patriots found running room difficult to find. But just when it seemed Heritage would stall on offense, Dalton ran around right end, aided by a crushing block by senior OT Seth Magalei, and gained 31 yards to the Sun Devil 14. Things got a little chippy after that play, and the home team committed a few penalties in frustration, moving the ball to the 1-yard line to end the third quarter. At the start of the fourth, McCoy plunged in from a yard out to make the score 24-20 Heritage. However, the two-point conversion try proved costly, as Dalton was injured on the play. The Pats defense went back to work and forced another turnover. Senior DE Gary Cook hit Wallace on a pass

attempt, and the ball fluttered into the hands of Magalei for the interception. However, Heritage gave the ball back a few plays later on a fumble recovery by Sun Devil senior DL Ryan Jovero at their own 37. With time running down, Mt. Carmel mounted a final push for the end zone. McClelland ran for a first down, and the Patriots were called for pass interference, putting the Sun Devils in striking distance at the Heritage 24-yard line. Cook sacked Wallace for a seven-yard loss, but two plays later, Wallace hit McClelland for 17 yards to the Heritage seven. Mt. Carmel called its final timeout with 14 seconds remaining, but was stuffed on a run play by Magalei and senior DL Carrington Reyes. The Sun Devils were unable to get off another play as the clock ran out, and the Patriots prevailed 24-20. Heritage Coach Jeff Haagenson was physically and emotionally drained after the game, but understandably pleased at the outcome. “I’m proud of their effort and enthusiasm,” he said. “We handled the situation well. I thought there may have been a drop-off in effort at some point due to the travel, but I didn’t see it. I thought we came out ready to play and kept our excitement for four quarters. Mt. Carmel is a great opening test because they’re so physical. They play a tough style of football and that always makes for a good opener.” The Patriots endured a few minor injuries, Dalton’s the most significant. “Justin has a stinger in his left shoulder,” said Haagenson, “and Jimmy (Pagnini) has some see Patriots page 58

Patriots from page 5B bumps and bruises, but they should both be able to go Friday.” The fourth-quarter defensive performance was arguably the decisive factor in the victory. “I thought our defensive staff, led by Darren Foreman, did a great job making adjustments at halftime, and it carried over to

the fourth quarter. The kids picked up their play and intensity in the fourth quarter to seal the win.” Heritage racked up 272 rushing yards, led by McCoy with 13 carries for 90 yards and three touchdowns. Dalton was 4-8 for 75 yards and the 41-yard strike to Russomanno.

Fitness boundary No. 2: How you exercise I know that you’re not an Olympic athlete, but that doesn’t mean you can simply take a pass on exercise. By now you’re well aware of the host of benefits that exercise provides. With regular exercise you’ll look great, feel amazing and have more energy than ever. Place boundaries around how often you must exercise. Choose exercise that’s challenging and fun – don’t be afraid to try new activities that improve your strength and endurance. Fitness boundary No. 3: When you indulge Let’s face it, we live in a world where indulging has become the norm; not the exception.

Sit down and take a long, hard look at your lifestyle. Are you eating as healthily as you could? Are you exercising three to five times each week? Are you indulging too often? Answer the following questions: 1. What three food items can I eliminate from my daily diet? (These should be nutritionally void items like high-calorie beverages, fast food, packaged snacks, high-fat food, candy or desserts.) 2. When can I schedule exercise into my week? (Pick three to five days and select a specific timeframe. Example: I’m going to exercise on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 5 to 6 a.m.) 3. When will I allow myself to indulge? (Don’t go overboard here, especially if you need to lose weight. Enjoy a treat a couple times each month, and do so guilt-free, knowing that you’ve maintained healthy food boundaries the rest of the time. Remember that self-imposed boundaries are self-empowering. Fitness boundaries put your fitness results on autopilot. If you know what constitutes an acceptable meal, then choosing what to eat just got a whole lot easier. If you’re committed to exercising three times a week, soon it becomes second nature. Christian Aguirre is a personal fitness trainer at Aloha Fitness.
