Minor city budget deficit forecast

by Dave Roberts Staff Writer

Despite numerous cost-cutting measures adopted by city officials several months ago, Oakley is projected to run a General Fund deficit for the second year in a row in the fiscal year starting in July.

The good news is that the deficit of $94,000 in a $12.9 million budget is significantly less (0.7 percent) than previously expected, due to savings from closing City Hall on the third Friday of the month and for the last two weeks of the year, not filling staff vacancies, replacing the full-time city attorney with a part-time attorney and eliminating the Planning Commission.

“There is a deficit that is proposed. It’s very small in comparison to the reserves that are available,” City Manager Bryan Montgomery told the City Council at its May 26 meeting. “If this is the worst that local government (faces) … and we are riding it through with just a $94,000 deficit, we are doing very well.”

Montgomery said it might not even be that bad, noting that he is using a conservative estimate that property tax revenue will decrease 10 percent in the coming year due to lower property values. Some governmental agencies are estimating an 8-percent reduction. Since every percentage drop equals about $50,000, if property taxes drop only 8 percent, Oakley will not run a deficit in the 2009-10 budget year.

But even if the deficit is $94,000, Oakley’s

Oakley’s budget is expected to run a deficit of $94,000 in the fiscal year beginning in July, but to return to surpluses thereafter. finances will still be in good shape because the budget ran million-dollar surpluses from 2005 to 2008 that allowed the city’s reserve fund to build up. The reserve is expected to drop to 27 percent of expenditures from the 32-percent level two

years ago, but that’s still quite healthy considering that the city’s policy is to maintain at least a 20-percent reserve. see Budget page 12A

Kids have a blast at 2009 County Fair

One of the attractions packing them in at this year’s County Fair, which ended Sunday in Antioch, was the shark show, featuring a diver who played one shark like a banjo, waved its fin at the audience and danced with it while another shark swam through a hoop.

The first show on Thursday, the fair’s opening day, began with a demonstration of the unbreakability of the shark tank to reassure the audience. David Farrell of Concord, a week short of 5 years old, was chosen from the audience to tap on the glass.

The tank, of course, sprung a fake leak, surprising and soak-

ing Farrell as he tried to plug it with his hands, and spraying some in the audience before the water was turned off.

“He was certainly surprised.

He thought he was doing something wrong for a second,” said his father Robert. “I really just thought it was adorable; they handled it well. He will never forget it for his entire life.”

The Farrells were among hundreds who took advantage of the fair’s free admission before 3 p.m. on opening day. They spent a lot of time in the Kids Zone building, which offered youngsters hands-on things to do – similar to San Francisco’s Exploratorium. see Fair page 21A

Classic cars transformed into Cute Carts

by Samie Hartley Staff Writer You’ve probably seen Jack Howell driving around Brentwood. He zips around town in a blue ’32 Ford California Roadster, but that’s not why you notice him.

While the classic hot rod design is unmistakable, featuring shiny rims and plush leather interior, the most eye-catching quality is that it isn’t a car at all. Howell gets around town in a golf cart.

It all started last year, when Howell was shopping for a cart and his search led him to a used hot-rod-style golf cart. He enjoyed driving it around so much that he decided he wanted to become a dealer for the cart maker, American Custom Golf Carts, Inc., the only licensed company in the world owning the rights to manufacture replica Ford Roadsters as well as Hummer H3 and Cadillac Escalade-style golf carts.

The former real estate agent, who sells the carts with his wife Sandra, said the carts are the most exciting product he’s ever sold.

“When I’m at a stop light, people roll down their windows and ask me about it all the time,” Jack said. “They hold out their camera phones to take pictures. People are just fascinated by these little things, and the best part is these carts are street legal. And since they’re electric-powered, they’re environmentally friendly.”

Sandra said the environment aspect is what’s most appealing about the carts: “It feels good to be a part of the solution (going

Jack and Sandra Howell sell customized golf carts in the style of the Cadillac Escalade, the Hummer H3 and the ’32 Ford California Roadster through their Web site, www.cutecarts.com. electric). That’s the conscientious thing being pushed right now. All you have to do it plug it in to charge it. You don’t have to worry about oil changes or rising gas prices. It’s efficient and they drive like real cars. It doesn’t feel like you’re driving a big clunky golf cart.

It’s like a real vehicle.”

Sandra said the other appeal is that you don’t have to be a good golfer to own one, although she insists the cart will help you shave two points off your golf game.

“You can take the golf cart around the neighborhood,” Sandra said. “It’s especially great for people who don’t travel far and stick

The Howells began selling the carts this year through their Web site, www.cutecarts. com. Sandra, who came up with the name, said the Web name was an obvious choice.

“The gentleman see the cars and say that it’s ‘awesome’ or ‘cool,’ but the women always say how cute it is,” Sandra said. “They always walk up and say, ‘Oh, how cute.’ Besides, the women make the decisions anyway, so we went with cutecarts.com because it’s easy to remember and it says what we’re all

about.”

While the carts are unique by design, they can also be customized to meet the needs of the customer. Owners get to choose the color scheme and details such as flames on the Roadster, and the wheels and interior can be upgraded. Additional features include stereos, televisions, golf bag holders and ball washers.

The prices of the carts vary based on the features. The California Roadster goes for approximately $7,999, the Hummer for $9,999 see Carts page 14A

County 4-H program faces funding crisis

by Rick Lemyre Staff Writer They stand for Head, Heart, Hands and Health. But even though none of the letters that make up the name of the organization that serves 6 million youth nationwide stands for the word “heifer,” that’s often one of the first things people think of when they hear “4-H.” “Our kids don’t just raise animals,” said Carla Moore, president of the Contra Costa County 4-H, as the frenetic activity of the livestock area at last weekend’s County Fair swirled around her. “They learn leadership, record keeping, public speaking, citizenship, grant writing, involvement in government, time management and conservation.

It’s experiential living; they’re picking up life skills.”

More than 500 youth from 5 to 19 years of age participate in 4-H clubs in Contra Costa County alone, but proposed countywide budget cuts threaten the UC Cooperative Extensions Office that oversees the program.

The $325,000 also supports the Extension’s Master Gardener, nutrition and food safety, urban horticulture, livestock management, commercial fruits and nuts, wine grapes, vegetable and field crop programs, and triggers an additional $3 million in federal money to support 4-H activities, Moore said.

So while white-clad kids sporting the 4H clover watered, groomed, cleaned up after and showed their animals last weekend, they

The boys are members of the Knightsen 4-H. Above, Knightsen 4-H members Monica Bettencort and Elizabeth Liddington, both 15, water their cows during last weekend’s County Fair. also worked to garner support in the effort to keep their group alive after current funding runs out in September.

“4-H creates a sense of belonging,” said Amanda Tonkin, 18, president of the DeltaDiablo 4-H. “It’s a community within itself that blossoms into so much more. Everything in 4-H is for youth, by youth. We run our own programs – with adult guidance – and it really broadens our horizons.” From writing letters to service members overseas, to sending books to the Philippines to learning about the connection between tree growth and forest fires, the hands-on education 4-

Hers get extends well beyond the barnyard.

The denizens of barnyard are still a major focus of 4-H, however, literally providing lessons of life-or-death importance.

“The consequences of dealing with live animals are that (mistakes) can cripple them,” Tonkin said. “If you don’t feed them, they will die. It teaches you the realities of what life really is in what you do.”

And what of the fact that many 4-H animals will be sold at market? “It’s part of the process, the cycle of life,” Tonkin said.

“Learning to live life also means learning to live with death.”

In the musky livestock area last weekend, Robert McLaughlin, 13, and James Wilson, 11, wielding pitchforks and rakes, were dealing with another of the realities of caring for large animals. Dung duty didn’t even faze them, though; it was just something that needed to be done and that they were glad to do.

“If there was no Knightsen 4-H, I’d go somewhere else where there was one,” Robert said. “Otherwise, I’d just be lazy.”

If you’d like to help save the UC Extension program and, along with it, 4-H, call the county 4-H office at 925-646-6543.

Cortona Park goes to the dogs

by Samie Hartley Staff Writer Wine flowed and tails wagged as humans and their dogs enjoyed an afternoon of luxury at Cortona Park last weekend.

As part of the Wine and Wiggles event, guests sampled wines from Bloomfield Vineyards and devoured Bella Luna chocolates while their four-legged friends buried their snouts into snow cones and patiently waited for a crumb of cheese or cracker to innocently slip from someone’s plate.

Tiffany Hall came all the way from Rio Vista to spend some quality time with her pooch Sammy, a 3-year old Yorkiepoo.

“This is such a fun idea,” Tiffany said.

“The dogs seem to be enjoying the sun and all the sights and smells. Sammy is overprotective – a little shy – so he can’t be around other dogs, but he seems to like the snow cone.”

Sammy daintily licked the strawberryflavored ice shavings as Tiffany chatted with her mom Georgetti.

“We’re dog people, so when I got the flier, I knew we had to check it out,” Georgetti said. “The food is delicious, and it’s such nice way to spend the afternoon with your pets.

You don’t see events like this very often.”

Carolyn Sundberg of Oakley agreed.

She came out with her son Sean, 4, and their Australian-shepherd Jack. “There aren’t many opportunities to bring your dog out these days,” said Sundberg. “There’s something for everyone here. The dogs get the

A group of approximately 275 guests attended the event, which delighted Event Coordinator and Cortona Park Managing Director Lisa Pinguelo.

“I got the idea from an event held in Walnut Creek,” said Pinguelo. “And I found that there really aren’t any socials out here where people can come and hang with their dogs and meet other dog owners. It’s just fun

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OFFER STAND OUT Buyers are confused and frustrated right now. They find a great home in this “buyer’s market,” only to find out there are 15 offers on the property, and most are more than asking price. So how do you make your offer stand out from all the others? The highest offer does usually get it, but not always. Here are some basic guidelines, but keep in mind that each Seller is different, so none of these are guaranteed 100% accurate all the time.

First, for bank-owned and short sale listings, they won’t even consider your offer, no matter what the price, if you have to sell your home first, so don’t even try. They MAY consider a contingency on a close if you have a solid buyer and are close to closing. Next important would be the “net” price to the Seller.

For the most part, distressed Sellers don’t care about what credits/fees you ask for. They run it through a spreadsheet and see how much they are left with, and they will usually (but not always) choose the offer with the highest net to them. So to most Sellers, $200K minus $10K in credits is the same as a $190K offer BUT if you

really don’t need the credit, probably better to just write it at $190K so it’s a “cleaner” offer and that also reduces the risk of appraisal problems.

Next would be the amount of your down payment. If two offers are a similar net to the Seller, they will probably choose the one with the most down payment. Buyers with more down are more likely to be approved for their loan, and it can also make the appraisal process easier. If one buyer is 3.5% down, and another is all cash, but the all cash offer is $10K less than the 3.5% down buyer, I’ve often seen the Seller take the all cash as more of a “sure-thing” even though it’s a lower net. And then there are your inspection and closing time periods. Most distressed Sellers want the shortest possible time periods for you to inspect the property and then closing escrow. Usually 7-10 days for inspections, and 30-40 days max for closing escrow.

New FHS principal comes full circle

by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer

Photo by Richard Wisdom

Freedom High’s incoming principal Erik Faulkner will take over the helm from Eric Volta in July.

In 1984, after pitching a no-hitter – yet still losing the game to rival Liberty High School – Alhambra High School Senior Erik Faulkner received an unexpected gift. “I ended up throwing a no-hitter that day, even though we lost the game, � recalled Faulkner. “But what I remember most about that day was that the coach from Liberty came over, congratulated me and handed me

the game ball. I’ll never forget that.�

The baseball coach was former Liberty High teacher Jerry Black, and some 20 years later, Faulkner had the opportunity to meet with Black again – this time as a member of the team that interviewed and ultimately appointed Faulkner as the new principal of Freedom High School. “Talk about coming full circle,� said Faulkner, who will take over when current see Principal page 10A

It appears that Sanchez has very little to worry about. The ebullient group, comprised of matriculating teens and adults, showed off their eclectic selves Tuesday night during a commencement ceremony that literally rocked the house.

Vocal soloist Alivia Logan was responsible for that, belting out a passionate and touching rendition of Usher’s “Because You Love Me,� dedicating the song to family and teachers who helped her along the way.

The emotional evening continued as adult school graduates Tina Riso and Eulalio Contreras shared their powerful stories of success. Riso, a mother of three, said she dropped out of high school just two months into her senior year. But when her children started school, she promised herself she too would return for her degree, and 20 years later she stood before her family and friends in cap and gown. “I will always be proud of what I have achieved here,� said Riso. “Thank you for giving me this opportunity.�

Contreras had an equally moving story of drug abuse, homelessness and “feelings of totally worthlessness. â€œâ€ŚDon’t ever let anyone tell you can’t do something,â€? said Contreras, 37. “I’m living proof you can accomplish anything.â€?

Students Robyn Kernutt, Kiersten Turner, Robbie Bryant, Georgia Teyler and Nikki Harden also expressed appreciation for their time at Independence, and were augmented by words of congratulations from retiring LUHSD Superintendent Dan Smith. “You have made yourselves proud tonight and your families proud and you’ve made us proud too,â€? said Smith. “Whatever direction you take in the future, be creative and proactive ‌ Congratulations and best wishes.â€?

Student Speaker Meghan Groshong extended best wishes to her fellow graduates. “Good job getting here, guys ‌ Today we are done with high school; today we move on. Congratulations.â€?

Financial scholarships were also bestowed on students from local organizations, including the LUHSD Educational Foundation, Brentwood Lions Club, Brentwood Rotary Club and American Legion Post 202.

Valedictorians look to the future

by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer

The colors of their caps and gowns will vary, as will the cadence of their speeches and the tenor of their themes, but when East County’s valedictorians gather for their respective high school graduations this month, what they will share is a sense of accomplishment, gratitude and pride.

When Jacob Peterson, Heritage High’s valedictorian, heard he was the No. 1 student in his graduating class, the athlete and scholar was surprised. “When I first found out, Mr. Parsons (Heritage principal) called me into his office and said, ‘You’ve probably been expecting this call,’” said Peterson. “And I told him that it depended upon what he was going to tell me.”

The news was good, of course, and come September the biology major will be making his way to Brigham Young University, with an eye on becoming a doctor. Peterson credits his parents’ gentle yet persistent support for keeping him focused and on track.

“I didn’t always see my potential, but my parents did, and they pushed me along and I went for it,” said Peterson, who will finish his high school career with a 4.28 GPA. “This is a great honor. I never really expected that I would achieve this. But I guess all the hard work and sleepless nights paid off.”

Muniba Ahmad understands. Becoming valedictorian, said Ahmad, is like running a marathon: “It’s about setting a goal. When

And Ahmad should know. As Deer Valley’s valedictorian of the Class of 2009,

she has spent most of her educational career keeping a careful eye on the final prize, and now with a 4.24 GPA under her belt and UC Berkeley in her future, she can, at last, relax.

“It’s been a lot of work, a long road,” said

Ahmad, who has not yet decided on a major.

“But ever since I heard what a valedictorian was, I wanted to be one. Now I can spend some time just ‘being.’”

And for Ahmad, that will that will include a summer filled with plenty of R&R. “I’m going to sleep and read and relax,” she laughed. “I also want to spend some time with my friends before I go away. I’m going to miss all that.”

Amber Basore feels the same way.

Freedom High’s valedictorian (with a GPA of 4.25) will soon be packing her bags and heading to UCLA in the fall, and despite the excitement of trading small-town life for the big city, she knows she’ll be leaving something important behind.

“I know I’m going to miss all of my friends, so I want to spend a lot of time with them this summer,” said Basore, who has not yet decided on a major. “I’m nervous, but also very excited.”

A member of the Freedom varsity tennis team, Basore also served on a number of school clubs and has been an active community volunteer. She says being chosen valedictorian is an honor beyond measure. “I’ve worked hard for it (valedictorian) but I’m incredibly proud to have been chosen,” she said.

“It’s something I’ve hoped for.”

Harpreya Chumbar, one of Liberty High School’s two valedictorians, agrees that the honor of being chosen co-valedictorian see Valedictorians page 10A

Muniba Ahmad is Deer Valley High School’s 2009 valedictorian.

Valedictorians from page 9A is the culmination of years of hard work and resolve: “It’s a huge honor and for me it validates what I’ve been working for during my time here. Honestly, I was surprised when they told me – but very proud.”

Chumbar will enter UC Davis in the fall as biology major, taking aim at a medical degree. The 4.07 student hopes to spend her summer working and saving for college next year, as well as hanging out with her friends.

“I will definitely miss my friends and the fun times we had together,” she said. “But I’m ready to make a fresh start in September; I’m very excited.”

Liberty’s other co-valedictorian, Melisa McChesney, was unavailable for comment, but has said she hopes her college studies will involve a combination of biology and art.

principal Eric Volta moves to the district office in July. “I’m absolutely thrilled; I can’t think of a better place to be.”

The former law school student and married father of three –his wife Megan is a teacher in the Brentwood Union School District – moved back to the Bay Area in 1997 after attending college in Long Beach and teaching for a few years in Southern California.

Following a teaching stint at Edna Hill Middle School, Faulkner came to Freedom, where he taught and was also the English Department chair. In 2004, he became Freedom’s summer school principal, and in 2005 was named as Freedom’s assistant principal.

“It kind of seems like the natural order of things for me,” he said of his new appointment. “I’ve been preparing myself for many years for a leadership position and I’m so grateful for the many mentors who’ve given me opportunities along the way.”

And some of his new opportunities are also likely to be challenges. As education takes some of the toughest hits from the state in decades, Faulkner understands that LUHSD is facing uncertain financial times.

“If you look at our district – we’ve hired 12 teachers so far – our district is continuing to grow,” he said. “However, when you look at the state of the economy and look at the challenges facing the electorate and legislators, there are some daunting tasks ahead, no question. But I know our district is a well-run, solvent, prudent district, with a great new superintendent (Jerry Glenn) coming in who will help guide our staff.

“For my part, I’m working on getting the lay of the land, so to speak, and looking at things from a principal’s perspective. I’ve been meeting with Eric and talking about ideas he’s had, and he’s been great with helping me out with the whole idea of transition. Eric has been a fantastic principal.”

For Volta, the well-liked principal won’t be venturing far from his old stomping grounds. Starting in July, Volta will be the assistant superintendent for human resources at the Liberty Union High School District. And while he’ll miss the students, families and staff (“I’m really bummed about that,” he

Outgoing Freedom High Principal Eric Volta, right will be taking aover as the new Liberty Union High School District assistant superintendent of human resources. said), he’s ready for a fresh challenge.

“I seem to do things in sevens,” said Volta referring to his years as principal. “So I figured this was the time to start looking at all of my options and thinking about what I wanted to do next. I’ll be doing a lot of the same stuff a principal does, only on a bigger scale. It’s more focused.”

Volta’s new job will include hiring staff, negotiating and managing contracts and handling complaints (“hopefully not too much of that,” he laughed). He looks forward to working with Glenn, and says he’s ready for the obvious financial tests facing the district.

“Sure, the money part is challenging, but the good part is that we have good people working here and we’re in better shape than a lot of other districts.”

So what’s next for the popular administrator? “I’m focusing on getting this new position going,” said Volta. “Call me in another seven years and we’ll see where I am then.”

Budget from page 1A

“ If this is the worst that

The other piece of good budget news is that city officials are projecting that the city will begin running surpluses again in the 2010-11 budget year, albeit smaller than the surpluses of prior years.

Council members are pleased that the city’s budget appears to be in relatively good shape, especially in comparison with other government budgets in tough economic times.

“This is very promising,” said Councilman Jim Frazier. “When we first heard about the budget (deficit) possibilities, it was four times this amount. My hat’s off to staff for really working hard and bringing the (deficit) numbers down. This makes it somewhat easier to swallow a reserve draw. You guys did an exemplary job, and I want to thank you.”

Frazier added that he’s concerned about the increasing costs to the city for animal control services that are contracted with the county. “They have raised our rates 183 percent in, I think, the last three years,” he said.

“The amount is ludicrous and we need to put a cap on it.”

Frazier suggested looking into forming a partnership with other cities to jointly fund an independent animal control service. In a memo to the council, Montgomery said that Antioch officials are looking to do just that as a way of helping fund that city’s animal shelter.

In addition to the General Fund deficit, the other piece of bad budget news is that some of the city’s lighting and landscaping maintenance districts continue to run deficits.

Most city residents are paying $14 per year

local government (faces) … and we are riding it through with just a $94,000 deficit, we are doing very well.

”

City Manager Bryan Montgomery for this service, while recent residents are paying $40-45, “which is more consistent with what it really costs,” said Montgomery.

To help make up the funding gap, the city is using $86,000 from the gas tax fund, which is supposed to go for road maintenance.

Due to the city’s healthy reserve fund, Montgomery is not concerned about the probability of state government borrowing $400,000-$500,000 of city funds, with the understanding that the funds would be paid back with interest in three years. As a result, city officials would consider that state raid just an investment.

In other budget news, Oakley has applied for $750,000 in federal stimulus funding under the COPS program to add two more officers to Oakley’s police force. The grants would pay for most of the officers’ salaries and benefits for three years. After that, the money would need to come from the city’s General Fund or the officers would be laid off.

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage Matters

By Trevor Frey

TAX CREDIT SAME AS CASH? Although the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 allows “first time homeowners” who close escrow (on their primary residence) between April 8, 2009 and December 1, 2009 up to $8,000 in the form of a tax credit, I’ve recently received many emails asking if said credit can be used as a bridge loan or cash advance. According to the National Association of Homebuyers if this were to happen, “it would double the total number of home purchases stimulated by the 2009 tax credit program” so it is completely understandable why people want to know sooner than later. And although the idea of morphing the credit into ready-to-use “cash” is something that is in the air, nothing has yet to be set in stone, and the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) is still hammering out the details.

To put it in perspective, Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Shaun Donovan stated on May 12, 2009 in a speech to the midyear convention of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) that changes were in the works and hopefully sooner than later the credit would be converted to cash. However, an official document released by HUD almost immediately after the convention read, “The statement made by Shaun Donovan, on how the FHA will allow the $8,000 tax credit to be used for down payment at a NAR conference earlier this week was apparently “off base”. The information was removed from the website and the “Mortgagee Letter” has been pulled for the time being.”

In other words, we’re receiving mixed signals across the board. As it currently sits, under guidelines drafted by the FHA, all lenders approved to do business with the agency will be authorized to provide bridge loans at closing, secured solely by

the tax credit the borrower expects to use to reduce their taxes when they file for 2009. The borrower would then pay back the bridge loan when they file their taxes for 2009, using the money they didn’t have to pay as actual taxes to the IRS because of the application of the tax credit to their 2009 tax bill. This in itself causes issues and according to mortgage industry leaders, the federal credit may not be available through private lenders for some time. Among the key questions yet to be answered: Where will non-depository mortgage companies get the $8,000 in advance money? If the FHA Guidelines clearly state the tax credit advances (“cash” on hand for the buyers) cannot be secured by a lien on the property, but rather only on the tax credit to be received by the purchaser, who will front the upfront bill? And if a borrower ends the tax year without enough taxable income to make use of the entire tax credit, how will they pay off the bridge loan?

Overall the idea of converting a potential $8,000 tax credit into available cash on hand will bring more buyers to the table and truly help the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 live up to its name. However until the red tape can be worked out would-be buyers who believe they are eligible for the federal credit shouldn’t sit around. They should actually do the opposite and shift into high gear shopping for a house – the Cinderella date of November 30 is looming – regardless of whether they’ll need a bridge loan to complete the transaction.

Go for win-win scenario Editor: As a resident and taxpayer of Brentwood, I would like to sincerely thank councilmembers Stonebarger and Brockman for voting against using a uniononly Project Labor Agreement (PLA) for the construction of the Brentwood Civic Center.

Thank you for not discriminating against the more than 80 percent of construction workers in the City of Brentwood who have chosen to not belong to a union. Non-union workers should not be required to join a union in order to build the Civic Center.

As the city moves forward with negotiations for a PLA, I want to make sure the following concerns expressed by the council are addressed: the statement made

by Mayor Taylor that ABC be represented in the negotiations, equal opportunity and choice in hiring workers and apprentices, the employment of local residents, and the elimination of dual payment of benefits (if the contractor can prove that benefits are already being paid for their workers).

This will guarantee the increase in competition in bidding and perhaps reduce the cost of the project for taxpayers – creating a win-win situation.

Lori Olsen Brentwood

PLAs don’t live up to the hype Editor: Pacific Bay Masonry, Inc. is a nonunion contractor with considerable experience on Public Works Projects in the San Francisco Bay Area. Throughout the years we have worked on projects both with and without project labor agreements (PLA).

Although the quality and consistency of our work and business practices are the same, costly problems and issues with the unions and their work force have significantly raised the cost of projects with PLAs. The most recent Pacific

TO THE

Bay Masonry example is Marina Vista Elementary School in Pittsburg. This project constantly had costly conflicts and delays resulting in numerous meetings to try to resolve the issues because of disputes with the local union. The first major issue with the PLA was because we are a nonsignatory contractor and forced to pay for our employees to enroll in the union so they could work on this project.

In addition to paying the regular benefits our employees are entitled to at Pacific Bay Masonry, we also had to pay the prevailing wage fringe benefits directly to the union trust funds. Those employees will never receive those benefits because they don’t work enough union hours.

Without a PLA, Pacific Bay Masonry would have deposited that same money into our qualified health and pension plans without making any deductions for dues or fees. Our employees get to keep every penny of the money they earn.

The second major issue involved countless time-consuming meetings with representatives for the owner, general contractor, Union and Pacific Bay Masonry to finalize the negotiations that determined the ratio of Pacific Bay Masonry employees vs. men from the hall. We were forced to hire union employees from the union hall in order to meet that ratio of workers.

We requested workers who were trained on the equipment we needed to use, who were drug and alcohol free and who would show up for work on time and prepared. Many of the men that the union dispatched to the jobsite to work for us were not reliable, qualified, experienced or sober enough to work. As a result, we were forced to hire and fire new workers daily.

As a licensed contractor in the State of California, we fairly bid and are entitled to work on any project, public or private, which we are awarded, and we should be allowed to choose where we purchase our benefits package from. In addition to the above issues and many others Pacific Bay Masonry dealt with daily, our employees and foreman were harassed and threatened daily by extremely unprofessional union representatives.

As a result of costs and constant problems with PLA projects, Pacific Bay Masonry no longer submits bids for any projects that contain a PLA. Unfortunately for taxpayers and municipalities, PLA agreements reduce competition and inflate costs.

The following is a breakdown of all monies paid to the union on this project in which the participating Pacific Bay Masonry employees will receive no benefits: Initial sign up fees for five men: $1,544 Monthly dues: $167 x 22 months = $3,674 Fringe benefits: $65,371.99 Total: $70,589.99 for a $450,000 contract … of which the men who actually

worked on the job will not see a dime.

Project labor agreements do not achieve the results claimed by union advocates. They are not cost effective, because admin staff for all parties, including the owner, have to spend so much time negotiating details and solving problems. Also, the fringe-benefit money (which is paid in addition to regular benefits) goes into funds that the actual workers have no access to. In addition to an unproductive admin staff, the field is unstable and unproductive because of constant turnover and unqualified labor. PLAs create labor conflicts and do not produce a quality workforce.

Peace prevails Editor: Last year was an explosive time for concerned citizens in Discovery Bay regarding the politics of our little town.

Each week in the Press there were so many letters to the editor complaining about our CSD board members and their abilities. When the election was over and the new board was put in place – just like magic, the letters disappeared, the town meetings became civil and all is at peace!

Congratulations to the new board. It is nice to see harmony in our lovely town.

Shame on AMR Editor: After reading the May 22 edition of the Oakley Press, I am disgusted and appalled at the actions of the attorneys representing American Medical Response Ambulance Co. (AMR).

They use repeated delays in their appeal to prolong the lawsuit. Their actions keep 83-year-old Louis Del Barba from going home after spending two years in the hospital. It appears that they hope Del Barba dies before they have to pay the judgment against them.

As a retired firefighter, I look back with pride as being a “first responder,” giving everything I’ve got to comfort or rescue people in need. Fire personnel share these responses with ambulance and police.

AMR should feel shamed by the lack of moral ethics displayed by their attorneys.

AMR injured this man and now they punish him (maybe to his death) by not paying his medical bills, nor allowing his home to be handicap-accessible so that he may return home in peace before he dies.

Make the Fed accountable Editor: Although it’s no more “federal” than Federal Express – nor is it a reserve – America’s privately owned third central bank and deceitfully named Federal Reserve has

created new programs to print and distribute trillions of taxpayer dollars without oversight by our elected representatives.

Two bills were introduced in Congress to change that: The bipartisan HR2424 by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D) entitled The Federal Reserve Credit Facility Act of 2009 “would authorize the Government Accountability Office to audit, review and investigate the activities of the Federal Reserve in response to the economic crisis gripping our nation.”

“We know the Fed has printed and loaned trillions of dollars, but we don’t know where the money went,” said Kucinich.

HR1207 by Rep. Ron Paul (R), entitled the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009, now has 179 co-authors from both parties. It “directs the Comptroller General to complete, before the end of 2010, an audit of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and of the federal reserve banks, followed by a detailed report to Congress.”

Of our local congressmembers, only Pete Stark has co-authored either bill.

Tauscher, Miller and McNerney haven’t.

Why not? I’m asking them and those campaigning to replace Tauscher to support these bills to protect our tax dollars.

It’s time the Fed had some federal oversight.

Blame economics, not politics Editor: I am responding to the DB Press letter to the editor “Another fun event lost” by Teri Sandholdt on May 15. As a member of the separate organizations that put on these two different events, please rest assured that “politics” had nothing to do with either event being “lost.”

First, D’Oktoberfest was an event that was put on by the Discovery Bay Chamber of Commerce. At the time, I was the treasurer and heavily involved with the event over the many years of its existence. During that time, the chamber brought many name performers to Discovery Bay, such as Guess Who, Mickey Thomas and Starship, BeeGees, Elvin Bishop and many others, or former members of these and other groups.

This event wasn’t cheap to put on, in either dollars or manpower. In the end, there was a core group of about eight to 12 dedicated individuals, both chamber members and community members, that organized and managed this event. The individual time became too great and people got worn out. No politics involved .

Second is the Boat Show, put on by the Discovery Bay Lions, of which I am a member. This, too, is not a cheap undertaking. Our biggest sponsors have been businesses in the boating industry, many of see Letters page 18A

Got 75lbs., 100lbs., 150lbs, 200lbs to lose?

New Doctor Supervised Weight Loss Program Created Only For SERIOUS Weight Problems…

Local doctor feels he has created the most unique and complete weight loss program that uncovers hidden health conditions leading to weight gain…

Successfully shrinking LARGE people with BIG Weight Problems If you’ve ever tried to lose your extra weight and diet, you know how it feels to be deprived. Yet millions of Americans start diets each and every year, hoping that this time will be different, and that they will finally, magically, lose weight for good.

Approximately $33 billion a year is spent on diet and weight loss programs, yet there are more overweight Americans today than ever before. The great news is, there are many of these people that have decided to close the door on all the Diet hype.

Instead, a growing number of these people are turning to the advice of health professionals who are approaching weight loss in a completely different way that is safe, effective and helps people change the way they think about food, when they eat it, how they eat it and why they eat it .

This breakthrough, not so diet approach that has already helped dozens and dozens of people lose weight successfully and long term, is Doctor supervised non surgical brain based weight loss treatment.

The Key to Long Term Change The subconscious mind often files away and stores not so positive thoughts or negative behaviors that can release tendency for destructive or unhealthy habits. For overweight people, a problem with their ability to modify these bad habits can be seen as they spend their whole life battling this problem. The most effective way to get around this problem is to change the way you think and the choices you make with new brain based weight loss treatments.

In an ultra relaxed state that is similar to a hypnotic state, it is easier to incorporate new habits, explains Dr. James Martin D.C., clinic director of HealthSource Weight Loss Center in Brentwood, CA. People really aren’t dumb. They know what they should do, drinking more water, eating proteins and veggies, not eating

late at night, etc. They just can’t turn these desirable behaviors into permanent habits. By using brain based weight loss treatments to jump past your subconscious, we can help patients make changes and long lasting new habits…

Dr. Martin says brain based weight loss is like being extremely focused and relaxed sometimes called “CVR” or creative visualization.

With brain based weight loss treatments, we speed up your ability to take in new suggestions.

Bad or undesirable habits that lead to your weight gain are traded effortlessly for smarter choices that lead to desirable behaviors and you start to finally lose weight and bust out of your bad habits.

We help patients think and eat like a thin person by reprogramming their subconscious. They lose weight

automatically and have long term results because they’ve changed the way they think about what foods they eat, when they eat and why. As soon as you have successfully replaced your old habits with new good habits, you never have to actively think about diets any more because your weight is no longer an issue..

Break Through Your Weight Loss Barrier More and more who are looking for a smart, effective and new approach to long-term weight loss have found brain based weight loss treatments with amazing and lasting results. Dr. Martin has seen people who have received brain based type weight loss treatments, maintained their weight loss for more than 10+ years without even thinking about it. The real secret to looking

and feeling how you want is all about developing the kinds of habits that can help you live the life you want. Then, we help you make those new habits just happen without effort..

Have you gained and lost weight multiple times? Do you lose some weight while dieting, only to end up gaining it all back and then some?

Have you tried a number of different weight loss programs only to fail? Do you eat everything on your plate, even when you are already full? Do you eat when you are upset, angry or stressed out?

Are you always thinking about food? If you said yes to any of these questions, brain based weight loss may be your solution.

Brain based weight loss treatment is spreading across the country and some of the most well-respected hospitals have incorporated these brain based type of therapy into their treatments. And, because of its commitment to overweight Americans, HealthSource offices continue to receive patient referrals from doctors and private practices, and has opened over 242 franchised centers in the United States. If your weight loss center is not doing extensive blood testing and hormone testing to evaluate your metabolic internal function for roadblocks and guide you to correct any imbalances with natural proven supplements or botanicals or helping change your behavior for a lasting change you may want to call for more information, or to schedule a complimentary brain based and metabolic weight loss screening with our weight loss program director Dr. James Martin D.C. and a FREE demonstration treatment to find out if you are a candidate for simple and easy weight loss

Fair from page 1A Another popular hands-on area was the livestock barn, where human kids petted goat kids and other animals. Two of those human kids were Oakleyites Samantha Rogers, 6, and her 4-year-old sister Savannah. It’s an annual event for the Rogers family. “They just have a blast every time,” said the girls’ father Steve, who was joined by his wife Raquel.

The animal exhibit was made possible by 4-H members such as Randy Carasis of Knightsen, who was participating in his third County Fair and showing off several sheep for breeding stock and sale.

“I love it,” he said. “It’s just fun getting together, seeing all of your old friends from other groups and the showmanship and everything. It’s just a lot of fun.”

While the fair is a one-day event for

fairgoers, for exhibitors like Bob Tannenbaum – who operated two booths, one selling custom-fitted toe rings, and the other providing computerized palm readings – it’s a way of life. He describes himself as “64 going on 35” and owns a home in Las Vegas, but most of his life is spent on the road traveling from fair to fair throughout the West.

“There’s a world out there, and I

don’t want to experience it on a 27-inch screen,” he said. “I do sightseeing in between shows and I enjoy the people. People come to the fair to have fun. I have a wonderful life; I love the travel. Too bad I don’t make any money, but it’s a fun life.”

It’s a Matter of Law

By Barbara A. Frantz

A NEW ECONOMY – WHAT CHANGES MUST I MAKE IN MY REGULAR ROUTINE Last month I covered Points 2 through 4 of the One Coach Program regarding positioning your business for growth in the “new economy.” Last month’s article focused on the “inside of your company” to make sure you are organized and have the proper support. This month I am going to talk about your products and/or services, Points 5 through 7.

For details, write Susie at Susie.carder @onecoach.com.

Point 5: Promotions within your business. There are many statistics about what it costs to bring in a new client. One common element among the experts is that it is always easier to have an existing client bring in a new client than by any other method. Use your client base to create new client opportunities. Analyze how much it costs you to bring in a new potential client. Look to your staff to help you provide enough value to that new client that it pays the cost of bringing them in and then some. If your services or products are limited, create new products and services that will bring added value to your existing clients. Make a promotional calendar for an entire year. Don’t wait to the last minute to offer your clients incentives to use your services.

Point 6: Branding. What does your image say about you? Even with limited funds, you can trade services to improve your marketing and advertising materials, because your website, your business card, even your office is your first impression, and it counts. You and your team must represent your culture, your values, your ethics.

Point 7: Price Structure/Price Increases. Nine out of ten businesses have not raised their prices for a very long time.

When they formulated their pricing, they looked in the market place and said, “I will start here.” Of course, you should keep the market place in mind, but what has changed about your expertise, the additional value that you now bring to your clients that didn’t exist when you started, and what has happened to the competition? I wouldn’t switch my hair stylist if you paid me. I followed him when he moved. The value he brings to me is a premium for me…consistency. If you provide value to the clients that you serve, and they perceive it, they will pay whatever your price is. The key here is not to do a “knee jerk” price increase. Create criteria that you will periodically measure to determine if it’s time. Supply and Demand is only one criteria.

I see businesses starting to have more activity. It seems as though everybody except the banks have gotten past the panic stage.

Hang in there, times are changing.

Track stars lace ’em up for state meet

by Nate Smith Correspondent

“Going to state” – it’s the magic incantation in high school athletics that names an athlete or team among the elite. In the state of California, athletes who qualify for state in an individual sport, such as wrestling or track, are considered among the nation’s best.

On May 30, at the North Coast Section Meet of Champions, East County athletes competed for the right to participate in this weekend’s track and field state championships, hosted by Buchanan High School in Clovis.

For Freedom High School senior Aimee Rodgers, a chance to go to state has been four years in the making. Rodgers had qualified for the Meet of Champions every year of her high school career in both of her events – the 100- and 300-meter hurdles – but had come up just short in previous seasons.

All of that made last Saturday especially sweet, as Rodgers finished second in the 100-meter hurdles and third in the 300meter hurdles to qualify for both events.

She continued a string of consistent runs in the 100 hurdles, clocking a time of 14.86 in the finals to follow her heat-winning time

of 14.87 in the trials. She then ran a personal-best time of 44.57 in the 300.

“I’ve been pretty consistent in the 100s recently, so hopefully it shows I’m ready to make a big improvement at state,” said Rodgers, referring to her goal of beating her personal-best time of 14.58 in her upcoming final opportunity. “In the 300s, I hadn’t really been pushed for a long time, so I knew I could run faster than I had been once I got some good competition.”

Rodgers was not the only East County athlete to qualify in multiple events, as Deer Valley, Heritage, Liberty and Freedom all boasted other state qualifiers. Freedom also qualified freshman hurdler Kenny Walker, who advanced to the state meet in his first attempt. Rodgers and Walker are the fourth and fifth athletes from Freedom to make it to the state meet, and the first since 2006.

Deer Valley displayed its usual prowess in the sprinting and jumping events, winning both girls relays at the MOC, including a stirring come-from-behind victory over St. Mary’s in the 4x100-meter relay.

The Wolverines enter the state meet ranked in the top 10 in both events. Junior Chizoba Okodogbe will also be entering the state meet with individual goals, hoping to earn a medal in the 400 meters, an event

she dominated in Saturday’s final, winning by nearly three seconds.

The Deer Valley boys also qualified for the 4x100-meter relay, running a seasonbest time of 42.00, featuring East County’s only four-event qualifier: Sean Combs.

Combs finished fourth in the long jump, third in the 100-meter dash, and third in the 200-meter dash.

Also advancing for the Wolverines was state leader Hammed Suleman, who easily won the triple jump at Berkeley’s Edwards Stadium, and has aspirations of hitting a 52-foot jump in Clovis.

Other advancers from the Bay Valley Athletic League included the 4x400-meter relay team from Heritage – which became the second relay squad in as many years to qualify for the Patriots – and Wyatt Landrum of Liberty, who ran a personal-best time of 9:10.90 to finish third in the 3,200 meters. It was Landrum’s second straight year to qualify in that event.

The trials for the track and field state championships begin today, June 5, and are hosted for the first time by Buchanan High School. They are followed by the finals on Saturday.

Heritage JV undefeated The Heritage JV baseball squad recently accomplished the nearly impossible, going undefeated in a 24game season.

In a grueling campaign, the Patriots knocked off non-league powerhouses Monte Vista, Amador Valley, Foothill, Alhambra and Arroyo, and BVAL powers Freedom and Deer Valley, plus league opponents Antioch, Liberty and Pittsburg.

Heritage also took the Concord Invitational Tournament Championship during Easter vacation, beating College Park, Concord and Alhambra. The team scored 288 runs during the season, averaging 10 or more runs per game, while the pitching staff of Chad Radelich, Chris Lynch, Brandon

Bascom, Kris Hagar, Hunter Jorgensen, Colton Robinson and Cole Wells gave up only 48 runs, posting a team ERA of about 0.58.

Just about everyone on the squad contributed on offense. “There weren’t any holes in our lineup, as everyone could hit, including our guys coming off the bench,” said Coach Nick Ferreira.

Hitting leaders for the Patriots were Landon Newton, Dayton Mellor, Ryan Howell, Chris Lynch and Colton Robinson, all of whom hit well over .400.

Chad Radelich, Zack Wilson and Conner Applegate got hot and contributed key hits down the stretch.

Assistant coaches Mark Leasure and Steve Brown also contributed greatly to the team’s undefeated season.

Lady Falcons from page 1B “really well,” said Williams. “Watch out for Freedom next year.”

The Falcons, who have won seven NCS championships in nine years, look in good shape to continue their winning ways next year, considering that only four players are graduating: Chrissy Stalf, Susan Robertson, Chelsea Hennings and Williams.

“It was a real pleasure coaching my four seniors,” said Jonas. “ I was pleased to get a chance to work with them. I probably learned a lot more from them than they learned from me.

The younger girls are awesome kids. They’re full of enthusiasm and passion for the game; they’re fun to work with.

“I have to tip my hat to Livermore. We are a very good team. That girl (Varady) pitched a

great game today. The defense played great behind her and they hit the ball when they needed to. I was impressed with Livermore.”

On a side note, there almost might not have been a championship game played Saturday; Freedom might have been forced to forfeit.

That’s because much of the outfield near the fence was under water after a groundskeeper forgot to turn off the sprinklers overnight.

Jonas notified Freedom’s baseball Manager Gary Alexander, who had his team come over and help fix the problem that morning, despite having their own championship game to play at the Oakland Coliseum later that day (which they won, by the way). They poured out 30 bags of kitty litter and used an industrialstrength vacuum to suck out the extra water.

“That’s how Gary is,” said Jonas. “They

have the biggest game in Freedom baseball history today, and he sent his kids out here to do that. It saved us. It just shows what kind of class he has and what kind of class we have at Freedom.”

Jonas, who is in his second year as manager after three years as an assistant coach at Freedom, also discussed the great season his team put together and why the program has been so successful over the years.

“There’s a very high standard here. If you don’t win the whole thing, then we kind of feel like we are not successful,” he said. “But you have to look at the season in total; you can’t look at it by one game, win or lose. We accomplished things as a group as far as how they deal with each other and hold themselves up on campus; we did community work out there.

They write letters at the end of the season about how they bonded as a team and are close as a group. I’m proud of these kids.

“It’s been a great season. I would have liked to have won; obviously, I’m pretty competitive. But just getting to work with the girls, it felt like we won in that aspect anyway. For seven years we had kids named Williams pitching for us – that helps a lot.

“I think the parents (of many of the players) have a lot to do with it. You hear horror stories about parents. But they get them to summer ball, they drive them (to practices), half of them have batting cages or catch for their daughters. They have been very supportive. Whatever I have needed, they have been there. With that kind of support it’s hard not to win.”

IN MEMORIAM Marie Sanchez July 6, 1937-June 1, 2008 Mom, it’s been one year since the angels wrapped their wings around you and God took you home. You touched so many lives with your love and words of encouragement. You were always our connecting link to the family chain. Now it is up to us to mend what was broken the day you were taken from us. Mom, you are deeply missed but your memory and love live forever in our hearts.

Love, your children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren In loving memory of Adrian C. Duarte, who passed away on June 7, 2000 “I Mijo … Another year is here and we’re missing you the same today as yesterday. It seems like just yesterday we were driving down Hoffman Lane taking you down to Grandma P’s house to visit. Propped up on your knees, staring out the window at the fields that was ready to be planted. You turned to me and out of the blue you would say, “Gushy … I know what they’re going to plant in that field,” as we passed them by. “In that field will be corn and the other one will be tomatoes. My Tata told me when I went to work with him. He said the small rows are for corn and the fat rows are for tomatoes.”

I would tell you that I just learned something and then we would both laugh! Mijo, we miss you very much and I especially do when I’m driving down “Old Hoffman Lane.”

All our love, Mom, sister, TaTa, Nana and Graciela In loving memory of Gina Marie Sisneroz, who passed away on June 23, 2006 Don’t think she’s gone away. Her journey began almost three years ago.

Think of her as resting from sorrow in a warm and comfortable place, where there are no days and no years. She must be wishing we could know today our sadness can really pass away. Think of her living in the hearts of those she touched. Nothing loved is ever lost … she was loved so much. So, we must walk a lonely path through shadows for a while without a certain familiar smile. Yet, each day brings us nearer to the place unknown. Her memory will travel with us until we meet again.

Love, Grace

Kaiser celebrates women’s health Kaiser Permanente in Antioch is hosting a free seminar this month on Women’s Healthy Sexuality. Be Sex Savvy: Strategies for Your Mind and Body will be held June 15 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, 4501 on Sand Creek Road in Antioch, in conference rooms C and D. A panel of speakers including Kaiser doctors and physical therapists will discuss three topics: sexual health through life’s stages; revitalizing intimacy in your relationship; and nonhormonal strategies to bring desire back into your life.

According to Dr. Janis Kahn,

“Since sex is frequently problematic for many women, and far from satisfying for many more, we wanted to use this occasion to share information about sexual health, as many issues underlying sexual problems can be alleviated or significantly improved with education. We want to focus on all aspects of women’s health, and a healthy and satisfying sex life can be a major part of a woman’s quality of life and well-being.”

Guests will receive a $10 coupon toward an Antioch Medical Center Feldenkrais or Tai Chi class. The first 25 people to RSVP will also receive a free gift. Reserve your spot by calling 925813-3560.

Mike and I would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. He was our best bud and constant companion for 14 years. We are also grateful to Dr. Odom and the wonderful staff of Brentwood Veterinary Hospital for all of Chase’s treatment throughout his life, making him comfortable, and giving us a few extra precious months with him. Thank you all, Randae & Mike of Doggie Depot
