The City Council Tuesday voted to move ahead with the oft-delayed construction of an $8 mil-lion garbage transfer station.

Mayor Bob Taylor dissented in the 4-1 vote, which was preced-ed by public testimony that now was not the right time to spend the money on the transfer station and neglect road maintenance or parks.

But according to Finance Director Pam Ehler, the money – which has already been collected and will not result in borrowing or rate increase – cannot be diverted to another use. It can be used only

for the purpose it was collected for: building the station.

The current station collects daily about 160 tons of garbage, which is then loaded on large transfer trucks for the trip to the landfi ll. The open-air facility is located next to playing fi elds at Sunset Park, where blowing trash, seagulls and odor adversely im-pact the atmosphere of the park.

The new facility is slated for city land several thousand yards from the park on city-owned property and would be covered to better control blowing trash and the birds.

Boys ranch library makes reading cool

They come in quietly, a few at a time, each with a book or two tucked under their arms and a greeting on their lips.

“Hey Nadia, what’s good to-day?” asks one visitor.

“Do you have that new book yet?” asks another.

The questions are common-place, the answers rote. But for Nadia Bagdasar, such requests are anything but ordinary.

“It’s a great feeling when they ask me for a certain book or a recommendation from an author they’ve read before,” said Bagdasar. “I love that their interest has been sparked by something positive.”

Bagdasar is the librarian at the Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility – also known as the Byron Boys Ranch – and two days a week she opens the doors of the make-shift library to these young men 13

to 17 and helps them build their minds, vocabularies and ultimately their self-esteem.

“I’m always amazed at what voracious readers they are,” said Bagdasar. “Some of these boys had

never read a book cover to cover until they came here. It’s very satis-fying to see.”

The Byron Boys Ranch is an unlocked county facility designed to rehabilitate low-level delinquent youths who have committed non-vi-olent, misdemeanor crimes. The av-erage stay varies from one month to more than a year, depending upon the crime and the program imposed on them by the courts.

The Ranch’s library is tiny. More than 4,000 titles are crammed into available spaces – some perched on racks or moveable carts, oth-ers stacked on nearby shelves. But they’re all there: Gatsby, Harry Pot-ter, Holden Caulfi eld and even a vampire named Edward.

“Oh, they read the ‘Twilight’ series,” laughed Bagdasar. “But of course they’ll never admit it.”

“John” (not his real name) might not confess to reading “Twi-

OLD MEDALAWARD

Diane Burgis isn’t a scientist, but she sure sounds like one as she discusses the chemistry and biology of water quality in Marsh Creek.

“I’m not an expert by any means,” said Burgis, executive director of Friends of Marsh Creek Watershed (FOMCW). “But I can hold down a conversation. I’m very passionate about protecting our local water resources.”

Burgis’ commitment to protecting the environment has been gaining statewide at-tention – she was recently named State As-sembly District 15 Woman of the Year by Assemblywoman Joan Buchanan. She also received  the Watershed Champion Award from the Contra Costa County Watershed Forum, which hands out the honor only ev-ery four years, and her hometown of Oakley presented her with a proclamation on Tues-day celebrating her accomplishments.

A single mother with three sons, Burgis has served as executive director of FOMCW for nearly fi ve years, and despite the awards and honors she’s received for her dedication to preservation, she’s shy about taking the spotlight.

“I don’t do things in consideration of awards, so it’s always kind of surprising when organizations single me out,” Burgis said. “It’s very fl attering, but I hope these acknowledgements will bring more attention to the Friends of Marsh Creek Watershed

and the thousands of volunteers that make our mission a success.”

The Marsh Creek Watershed is the second largest watershed in Contra Costa County, spanning 30 miles from the eastern slopes of Mt. Diablo through to the Delta, passing through Brentwood, Oakley and Antioch. FOMCW volunteers host creek cleanups, beautifi cation projects and conduct wildlife monitoring and trash assessments to improve the quality of the creek and its sur-rounding areas. Even Congressman Jerry McNerney came out to volunteer with the group this year during a cleanup in January.

The group has removed more than 40 tons of trash from Marsh Creek, trails and

local parks, planted hundreds of plants and trees throughout the community and raised more than $1.25 million in funding toward restoration projects including the Marsh Creek Fish Ladder and the upcoming Creekside Park Restoration Project in Oak-ley. Members also host outreach programs to educate the community about the creek that peacefully winds its way through East County.

Since joining FOMCW, which was cre-ated in 2004, Burgis has helped the group incorporate and become a nationally rec-ognized nonprofi t agency. While she spends some days cranking out grant proposals and meeting with local offi cials to discuss envi-

ronmental protection legislation, other days are spent at the creek getting her hands dirty.

“One day I’m meeting with our elected offi cials, and the next day I’ve got a pitchfork and I’m clearing debris from the fi sh ladder,” Burgis said. “Every day is different. I’m so lucky to work for a great board of directors, and our volunteers are amazing. It’s so nice to work with people who care so much about the environment.”

Burgis’ current focus is promoting FOMCW’s quest to secure a $25,000 grant in the MillerCoors River Network Water-shed Protection Grant Competition. FOM-CW was one of six organizations chosen to vie for the grant. It is the only group from the West Coast up for consideration.

“This is such an exciting opportunity,” Burgis said. “The grant awards are deter-mined by votes from the public. Right now, we’re in fi fth place, which awards $2,000. If we can at least get to third place, we’d receive $10,000.”

Voting ends Monday, March 19 at 5 p.m., so Burgis is working to rally the troops to surge ahead in the competition. Partici-pants are asked to visit www.rivernetwork.org/millercoors-river-network-grant-con-test-2012 and click “vote now.” Simply enter your name and city, and cast your vote. The process takes only a minute.

Hard House transferred to restoration group

One of the oldest and most dilapidat-ed buildings in Antioch might be seeing a brighter future.

Antioch’s City Council agreed on Tuesday to transfer the boarded-up Ro-swell Butler Hard House, located on 815 First St., to the nonprofi t Friends of the Hard House, which plans to fully restore the home of Antioch’s fi rst mayor. The city hasn’t been able to afford upkeep on the property, which is listed on the Na-tional Registry of Historic Places.

Friends of the Hard House has been fi ghting for ownership for roughly three years, eagerly anticipating the chance to fully restore the property to 1869 standards.

“I think it pretty much all went the way we hoped it would; it just took a little longer than we hoped it would,” said Dave Brink, president of Friends. “I’m not sure what we’ve gotten ourselves into. I may look back at this decision seven years from now and say, ‘What was I thinking?’ but we’re all really thrilled.”

In order to avoid problems regarding insurance, members of the Friends need to wait until the property closes escrow before they can start getting their hands dirty. City Council member Gary Ago-pian, a real estate agent, estimated the escrow process could take two to three months, but that timeline is murky be-cause the Hard House was property of

Antioch’s redevelopment agency (RDA).Earlier this year, Gov. Jerry Brown

ended RDAs statewide, taking money raised by property taxes to help balance California’s budget. Many cities trans-ferred properties from their RDAs to the city as a way to hold onto them – which is what Antioch did with the Hard House.

State auditors are reviewing these

transactions to see which were done le-gally. Until the auditors make a ruling regarding the Hard House, Antioch can’t cleanly transfer the property to Friends. However, city leaders feel the Hard House shouldn’t be an issue for the state.

If the state seizes the Hard House, Friends will be on the hook for any costs associated with the work they’ve done.

If Friends dissolves or fails, the property will be transferred back to the city.

“We’re willing to take the risk of deal-ing with the state,” said Friends secretary Elizabeth Rimbault. “We’ll restore this property for the benefi t of this commu-nity and we’ll do it with all volunteers.”

It was originally thought that Friends would be required to start the fi rst phase of the renovation – cleaning up weeds and debris from around the property, and weather-proofi ng the building – as a way to show that it’s capable of performing the duties. But after the insurance ques-tion was raised, City Council members felt it would be best to simply delay work until escrow closes.

The Friends have several plans for the Hard House. Instead of tearing it down, they wish to renovate and restore it to its former glory. The fi rst phase – cleaning up around the property – will take roughly six months. Friends then plans to tackle the foundation and structure of the Hard House, which could take about two and a half years, and get the exterior portion of the house (including the balcony, porches and wall) done by year fi ve of the project.

The entire restoration should be fi n-ished in about seven years.

Friends wants to turn the Hard House into something resembling a mu-seum for those interested in the early days of Antioch. The Hard House could also host events.

Special-needs students galvanize galleryFor the last several months, stu-

dents in the County Office of Edu-cation (COE) classes at Liberty High have been treated to weekly sessions on art techniques by artist and teach-er Ramona Kennon-Frink.

The special art program, funded by an anonymous donor and spear-headed by Diane Misasi, former principal of the East Region Special Education Programs at Liberty, cul-minates in a Spring Art Show and Reception on Friday, March 16 at 5:30 p.m. in the COE special educa-tion building on the Liberty campus. The event showcases the students’ projects as well as the art that origi-nally inspired the entire program.

“The idea that our special-educa-tion students could make ‘real’ art – what I like to call gallery-quality art – came from The Liberty Lionassem-blage piece,” said Kennon-Frink, art teacher for the program.

Kennon-Frink assisted students last summer in the collection of broken and discarded objects lying around the campus – objects appar-ently unremarkable, even worthless, but when re-purposed expressed meaning and beauty.

The collection of “junk” was collaged together and made into a wonderful piece of art – The Liberty Lion. “This isn’t a wonderful work of

art by special-needs students; it’s a wonderful work of art – period,” said Kennon-Frink. “That is what I want people to take away from this project.

“If we modify our approach to how art is created, these students can have a voice that has real impact,

reflecting their unique view of the world. As human beings, we all feel the need to create. Some of us just need a little extra help.”

“Ramona brings a sense of em-powerment to our students unlike anyone I’ve ever met,” said Misasi.

“Last summer’s Liberty Lion proj-ect showed what could be done with one’s imagination and everyday ma-terials. I thank Ramona for bringing such a wonderful program to East County.”

B of A PRINCIPAL REDUCTIONSThe ink is hardly dry on the $25

Billion foreclosure settlement deal and Bank of America is already releas-ing some preliminary info on how they intend to comply. Last week they announced that they are going to reduce principal balances on as many as 200,000 homeowner’s loans. The number they are throwing around is an average reduction of $100,000.

For some homeowners, this could wipe out the entire amount that they are underwater. For others it could be just a drop in the bucket. It’s not clear yet if everyone will get the same dol-lar amount of principal reduction or if there will be a formula.

To be eligible the loan must be ser-viced by Bank of America, and either owned by Bank of America or private investors. This includes those loans that started at Countrywide. Loans owned or insured by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac,

the Federal Housing Administration or the Veteran’s Administration are not eligible. The loan must also have been at least 60 days behind as of January 31.

Bank of America will begin con-tacting homeowners that qualify start-ing in April. They have three years to do the principal reductions to comply with the foreclosure settlement, but there are incentives for them to com-plete them quickly. If you have a Bank of America loan, you can call 877-488-7814 to see if you are eligible and for more information. If you find out that you are qualified, please let me know and we’ll rejoice together!

Kids Helping Kids recipient pays forward

It’s been four years, but Laura Page can still see the smile on Shayne Hansen’s face.

“He had a grin the whole time,” said Page, co-founder of the nonprofi t organiza-tion Kids Helping Kids. “His mother said she had never seen him engage like that before. I can still see the whole day in my head.”

Shayne was born with a rare disease that paralyzed his vocal cords, and for the fi rst few years of his life he used a feeding tube and was unable to talk. As he grew, Shayne required extensive medical care and numerous surgeries.

When KHK heard about Shayne’s struggles and his family’s mounting medical expenses, they staged a community fund-raiser. Now, four years later, the Brentwood teen returned the favor by raising money to help children in Ghana. Page and some of her group left for Ghana earlier this month and among their donations and gifts was more than $1,000 raised by Shayne alone.

“I was so shocked; I had no idea he was doing this,” said Page of the gift. “His mother said he just wanted to give back af-ter so many people had done so much for him. It doesn’t get any sweeter than that. He’ s an amazing, bright light.”

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage MattersBy Trevor Frey

Free Lunch

– Advertisement

“Th ere’s no such thing as a free lunch!” I’m pretty sure we’ve all had that mentioned to us at least once in our lives. Whether it was academics or athletics, the formula for success was always the same: Work hard – no one owes you anything and you shouldn’t expect a free lunch. Fast for-ward to 2011 and three states – Michigan, Kentucky, and Illinois – will be participat-ing in the U.S. Department of Agriculture Eligibility Option as “test pilots” for a new program. What is this program you ask?

As part of President Barack Obama’s Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act the three pilot states will provide all students – re-gardless of economic status – a free break-fast, lunch, and snack during the school day. Th e programs fi rst goal is to ensure youngsters are receiving healthy meals. Th e second goal however is a bit more in line with our free lunch theory. Accord-ing to Detroit’s Chief Operating Offi cer, Mark Schrupp, “Some students would skip important meals to avoid being identifi ed as low-income. Now, all students will walk through a lunch line and not have to pay. Low-income students will not be easily identifi able and will be less likely to skip meals.” So, with our “no such thing as a free lunch” theory out the window, let’s see how we can apply this to the housing market…

Until recently all down-payment as-sistance programs were more like second loans. While you didn’t come out of pocket with all of the monies needed to purchase your home, you’d still end up paying back

the “assistance” over the period of home-ownership. To ensure their money was secure the assis-tance company would tie a second loan to the title of your house.

Once the home was sold or refi nanced you’d have to include their loan into your fi nal fi gures. Programs such as this are still available and are the perfect argument for the proving the “no free lunch theory” right.

However, as with the loop hole that is the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, California now has the CRHMFA Home-buyers Fund, or, CHF. CHF’s Platinum program is grant money and does not have to be repaid. If you are a fi rst time buyer, live in Contra Costa County, and make less than $110,760, you are eligible for this program! CHF’s Platinum Program off ers fi rst time buyers 3% of their purchase price to be applied towards closing costs or down payment. Th ink about this, that’s 3% of your purchase price for free – no hidden agenda, no balloon payment, free money! In theory, as a fi rst time buyer, you’d only have to come in with half a percent as your down payment. Talk about a free lunch!!!

If you have any real estate lending related questions or concerns, or wish to speak about the CHF Platinum program as not all lenders are certifi ed to off er the product, don’t hesitate to write me at tfrey-mortgages@yahoo.com or call me directly on my cell phone, (925) 726-1444. I’m always here to help, and my phone will be on all weekend.

Coached by Jennifer Langendorff, the students designed, built and drove a vehicle that traveled a course along which it encountered three situations and expressed three human emotions. Stu-dents also created a theatrical performance incorporating their vehicle and emotions. Both challenges were met by the students alone; no adult assistance was allowed.

The Marsh Creek team earned the highest score out of 28 elementary school teams throughout the Bay Area and will compete in the state competition later this month.

Every 15 Minutes rocks Liberty High

“Please. Please help me. You have to get me out of here. Someone needs to call my Mom. I want my Mom. Please. I’m so sorry.”

Hannah Fugazzi’s cries were the only thing that could be heard as emergency workers moved feverishly yet precisely to free the Liberty High School student from a mangled car which had been struck head-on by a drunk driver. Her pleas for help sounded genuine, but it was all part of Every 15 Minutes, a national program that teaches students about the risks of drinking and driving. National statistics show that some-one is killed or seriously injured in an alco-hol-related car accident every 15 minutes.

No detail was spared during the live en-actment. Local rescue agencies were recruit-ed to create the most vivid scared-straight program students could possibly experience without going through the real thing. The process of organizing and coordinating an Every 15 Minutes takes months.

The simulation, which took place at Lib-erty High School last Thursday, was treated like a real auto accident. Police offi cers were on the scene within minutes, followed by lo-cal fi refi ghters, paramedics and county coro-ners. Fugazzi’s “injuries” were deemed severe, and she was airlifted to a local hospital by California Shock Trauma Air Rescue, whose helicopter landed on the soccer fi eld near the crash scene.

As the fl urry of activity unfolded, Lib-erty juniors and seniors watched from the sidelines as Homecoming King Ben Custo-dio, who was in the car with Fugazzi, was cared for and taken off the fi eld by ambu-lance, and Caitlin Nunes, who was pro-nounced dead at the scene, was zipped into a body bag. Drunk driver Matt Carabello was arrested and taken to a cell at the Brentwood police station.

Following the crash, students in the au-dience were released to their classes and the day resumed as usual, but students were in for a second rude awakening the next day, when Every 15 Minutes continued with a mock fu-neral for the 26 students who were “killed” the day before. On Friday, a casket rested at the center of the gym as members of the liv-

ing dead sat on one side and their families on the other. A video showing highlights of the crash was played for the parents, followed by aftermath coverage the students didn’t see the day before. Police offi cers went to the home of Nunes’ mother, who went to the morgue to identify her daughter’s body. The family of Fugazzi were notifi ed of the accident and told that she died at the hospital.

As the coverage came to an end, a mon-tage of photos fl ashed across the screen. In each photo, the student representing the living dead was digitally removed from each photo, leaving gaping holes in family portraits and candid snapshots. Students passed boxes of tissue around the gym as they watched their friends and classmates fade away as Chris-tina Perri’s “The Lonely” blared through the

gym, providing a haunting soundtrack to the nightmarish scenario.

As part of the Every 15 Minutes exer-cise, students representing the living dead were asked to write letters to their loved ones as a fi nal goodbye.

“I want to say thank you for everything that you’ve done. I am so grateful,” Riley Ru-ano read, desperately trying to maintain his composure and fi nish reading the letter for the audience without breaking down in tears. “I never ever want you to think you weren’t good enough. I couldn’t have asked for better parents.”

Unlike members of the living dead, guest speaker Wendy Reynolds didn’t get a chance to tell her parents goodbye. She didn’t have one last chance to tell them she loved them. Her parents and her baby sister were killed in a car accident involving a drunk driver when she was 5. Miraculously, Reynolds, a Walnut Creek resident, survived the crash, and today, shares her story at high schools throughout the Bay Area, explaining the dark reality that results from drinking and driving.

“You know your parents would much rather get a call from you than a call from the hospital saying ‘get down here right now.’ They want to come pick you up. I guarantee they would rather come pick you up (from a party) than have to go ID your body at the morgue.”

light,” but he will cop to being a reader. The tall and brawny 15-year-old said he feels “smarter” when he visits the library, and en-joys choosing from the myriad titles.

“You can never take in too much knowl-edge,” he said. “I like the way I feel when I get done with a book I liked.”

“Ernest,” another resident at the ranch, said his job as a library helper gives him a unique advantage over his peers. “I get to look at a lot more books and read the backs to see what they are about before I check them out,” said the 16-year-old. “When I’m here it’s kinda like having my own book-store.”

But because the “bookstore” is so small, only fi ve or six boys can visit at a time. When a visitor checks out his books and leaves, the next boy in line is allowed to enter. However, thanks to a $10,000 grant from the Lesher

Foundation, the library is currently under-going an upgrade that, when complete, will nearly double its current size.

“It’s going to be great when it’s done,” said Bagdasar. “We’ll have new carpeting, shelves and room for a lot more books. We’re very grateful to be able to do this.”

In the meantime, Bagdasar – who is also the librarian at juvenile hall in Martinez – makes do, taking pains to offer the most she can to the boys in the time they’re with her. And most days, she succeeds.

“For me, the greatest thing is when I give them a book that speaks to them or their experiences,” said Bagdasar. “I love it when I see a boy lying on his bunk reading a book when before he would have been just sleep-ing or hanging out. It’s a wonderful thing to see. It makes me feel as though I’m making a difference.”

sioner Jim Cushing echoed the words of a letter from San Francisco law fi rm Hanson Bridgett that since the scope of the project doesn’t match what was proposed when the permits were issued three years ago, permits for the project should be re-examined.

Community Development Director Casey McCann said that while the scope had changed, it had not increased, but was “signifi cantly smaller and diminished” from what it was when the documents were approved. Instead of the original proposal of a 5.7-acre facility handling 1,000 tons per day, the new plan was for a 3-acre facility handling only 400 tons per day. “I am confi dent the project still meets the (environmental) standards,” McCann said.

Resident Carissa Pillow also spoke, saying that her

concern about the expenditure of public dollars prompted her to visit the current facility to see the conditions there. “It’s clear that the facility is inadequate,” she said, adding that she was impressed by the work being performed by city staff in the too-small location. “It’s rare to say this about a government facility, but this would be money well spent.”

The council also addressed a comment by resident Christine Richey, who felt using a transfer station in Pitts-burg would be preferable.

City Engineer Baily Grewel said when the Pittsburg option was investigated last year, it was found that it would result in $2.5 million dollars in increased costs associated with collection trucks driving to Pittsburg.

Councilman Erick Stonebarger said the current build-ing climate would get only more expensive if the construc-

tion is delayed. Any interest the money might earn while waiting would likely be more than offset by the cost-of-living increases that would make the project cost more in the future.

Stonebarger also said it was an important quality-of-life issue to get the trash away from the park, and doing so would provide 200 additional parking places for users of the sports fi elds. Overfl ow parking now stretches down Sunset Avenue, he said, forcing many children and families to cross the busy road.

Taylor, however, said he was uncomfortable spending the money in the current economy: “I don’t want to spend $8 million not knowing what might be coming down the road.”

If Your Ship is Sinking, Don’t Give Away Your Life Vests.

Bankruptcy Exemptionsby Joan Grimes, Esq.

– Advertisement

One of the saddest things is when a person comes into my offi ce explaining that they have waited to come in until they have used up all their savings, retirement funds, equity in their home or car just to keep paying their credit cards and other debts. Th is just breaks my heart because it was completely unnecessary.

Th e Bankruptcy Code does not want or encourage people to wait until they have used up all of their resources to fi le bankruptcy. In fact, the Bankruptcy Code and California law discourages these actions by specifi cally protecting certain assets in a bankruptcy case from the reach of creditors. So what are some of the assets which are generally protected and what actions should you be taking to protect these assets?

Retirement Accounts- All private retirement plans and profi t sharing plans are exempt, which means you can keep most or all of your savings in these accounts. Th erefore, you should never use retirement accounts to pay credit cards, bring home loan payments current on a house that is underwater or pay other bills which could be discharged in a bankruptcy. Every withdrawal from a retirement account will be taxed on both federal and state levels as well as incurring the 10% penalty for early withdrawal unless it falls under an exception for early withdrawals. If you are in your 30’s-40’s, a withdrawal of $1,000 will amount to a loss of $10,000 in retirement income. Th e withdrawal of even smallest amount will be a huge reduction in retirement income later. You must protect your future.

Homestead Exemption- Th e California homestead exemption applies to your principal “dwelling” on the date the bankruptcy petition is fi led. Th e homestead exemption in California eff ective January 1, 2010 is $75,000. Th e exemption is increased to $100,000 if the you or your spouse reside in the homestead or at least other one member of the family resides in the residence and does not own an interest in the residence. Th e homestead exemption is increased to $175,000 if you or your spouse meets the minimum age requirement of 65, are disabled or meet the “low income” qualifi cations’. Th erefore, if you still have equity in your home, do not use it to pay dischargeable debt such as credit card or personal loans.

Wildcard Exemption- If the homestead exemption is not used as discussed above, a person can have in addition to the car, jewelry and household goods and furnishing exemptions, retirement accounts and the other exemptions provided under California law, a person can have up to $23,250 in cash and other assets at the time of the bankruptcy petition which will be exempt. Th at means there is no reason to sell your RV or boat unless that is really want you want to do so.

Personal Injury and Workers Compensation Awards- Personal injury settlements are generally exempt under “lost compensation” and future earning awards are exempt to the extent reasonably necessary for support. In addition, Workers Compensation Awards are exempt.

Th e above is just a partial list of exemptions available to individuals fi ling for bankruptcy protection. Th e purpose of the Bankruptcy Code is to provide people with a fresh start. A fresh start does not mean empty cupboards, empty retirement accounts, empty savings accounts or no equity in a car or home. We are all living longer and we will need food in our cupboards, money in our retirement accounts and a car that is paid off .

If you do not have suffi cient income to pay your bills as they come due and owing, you should seek legal counsel before withdrawing any monies from a retirement account, savings account or taking a loan against your home or car. Th ese are diffi cult times, but do not miss the help and protection provided by the Bankruptcy Code and California law by waiting too long. Just because this ship is underwater does not mean that you should give up your life vests that you will need to keep you afl oat!

Shirley Ann WeatherbyJuly 14, 1944-March 9, 2012

Shirley passed away Friday, March 9 surrounded by her family and friends in Antioch. Her passing was very unex-pected  and has left a big hole in the hearts of every-one who knew her and loved her. She was a lifelong resident of Brentwood and An-tioch.

She was predeceased by her parents, Ellis and Gladys Weath-erby of Brentwood. She is survived by two daughters, Ramona (Steve) Cenda-jas of Redding, Calif. and Lisa Contre-ras of Antioch; sister, Linda (Chuck) Smith of Brentwood; and brother, Doug (Virginia) Weatherby of Antioch. She also leaves behind four grandchil-dren, Steven (Cheryl) Cendajas, Aman-da (Josh) Twiss, Kristen Heether and Kira Soares; and four great-grandchil-dren, Anthony and Michael Cendejas, Hannah Twiss and Antonia Rodriguez.

Shirley graduated from Liber-ty High School in 1962. After high school, she attended Paris Beauty Col-lege in Concord. After graduation, she worked in various beauty salons in the area. She soon became everyone’s fa-vorite beautician and barber.

She had to give up doing hair when she injured her hand. After the injury, she went to work for Zytron Micro-filming as a microfilming technician. She worked there for 15 years. When the company closed down, she went to work for the Antioch School District, where she worked with  autistic and physically disabled children.

After a lifetime of working, she was able to retire two years ago. She was free then to dedicate herself to the work she wanted to do the most: spreading and sharing the word of Je-hovah. She enriched many people with

her knowledge of Jehovah. Shirley was a very loving and compassionate per-son who will be missed very much by everyone who knew and loved her.

Memorial services will be held Thursday, March 22 at 5 p.m. at the Jehovah Witness Kingdom Hall, 1111 Sunset Drive in Antioch. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to your favorite charity.

Clarence ThomasAug. 20, 1939-March 10, 2012

On March 10, Clarence’s gallant fight against Type 1 Diabetes, which he had faced since age 6, came peace-fully to an end at age 72. Clarence will be remem-bered for his loyalty,  faith-fulness and gentle loving heart.

Clarence was born to Lloyd and Mary Thom-as in the town of Byron. An only child, he graduated from Liberty High School in 1957. He lived in Byron until 1968, when he moved his family to Santa Cruz. He worked for Thomas and Son Trucking, then owned his own com-pany called Goose Crete Pumping. For the last 30 years he has worked for Granite Rock.

Clarence was an outstanding hu-man being, filled with life and love for everyone. He will be missed by many. Clarence is survived by his wife of 37 years, Lorraine Thomas; his two sons, Lloyd and Richard Thom-as; his daughter, Annette Harlan; his step-children, Karl Smith and Karen Scott; as well as 14 loving grandchil-dren.

Services will be held March 17 at Oakwood Chapel, 3301 Paul Sweet Road in Santa Cruz.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Diabetes As-sociation.

In its fi rst year, the Catholic Com-munity Garden of Brentwood, located on the premises of Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church, was a resounding success. The garden’s yield approached 3,000 pounds of fresh vegetables for the St Vincent de Paul food pantry in Brent-wood.

The vegetables are distributed to any resident in need in the Brentwood area. Many volunteers pitched in with their time, talent and treasure to develop the garden during its fi rst year of operation. Be it irrigation, seeds, plants, vehicles or tools, someone was there to provide it. In

addition to new cash donations, the gar-den had received new donations of two garden carts, a rototiller, bricks, gravel and several hundred packets of seeds from Renee’s Seeds.

Enthusiasm and support for the garden from parishioners, as well as in-dividuals out of the parish, has been remarkable. Many volunteers enjoy the therapeutic benefi ts of gardening, as it allows them to focus on the garden and forget their problems.

For more information on the garden, including volunteer and donation oppor-tunities, call Ken Klovee at 925-516-7484.

Deepest appreciation from JapanEditor:

Dear Californians: One year ago on March 11, 2011, Japan was struck by one of the most powerful earthquakes in modern history. The earthquake and accompanying tsunami claimed thousands of lives and, coupled with the nuclear accident, presented one of the gravest challenges Japan has ever faced.

Yet in the darkest hour, Californians from communities large and small, global and local, offered us unbounded compassion, comfort and hope. Please accept our deepest appreciation for every condolence, show of support and demonstration of our common humanity.

Japan’s reconstruction has advanced greatly with your help and friendship, but there is still much to do in the days ahead. Our country is dedicated to working with you to share lessons from the earthquake, build disaster-resistant societies, ensure nuclear safety and promote human security and economic stability.

We will continue to keep you updated on Japan’s recovery and development. Thank you once again for everything you have done for us.

In action againstbirth-control mandate

Editor:Eighty leaders of various groups

from among the 5,700 registered families in the parish of Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church (IHM) in Brentwood met recently to formulate a plan of action to oppose the sweeping HHS mandate that violates not only their Catholic conscience but the rights of all Americans to religious freedom.

During the meeting to outline IHM’s Town Hall Action Response, there was unanimous agreement on the need to act. While any governmental mandate to disobey the Church’s position on contraceptives and abortion would be suffi cient to cause an uprising among the Catholic faithful, as would an infringement on religious freedom in America, the recent HHS ruling is indeed that double threat. Included in IHM’s plan of action are the following:• Develop public relations effort to secular media.• Communicate with Congressman McNerney.• Be professional in our signs, banners, writings and speaking.• Increase parish education, especially

our youth, parishwide education.• Expand the parish newsletter and website.• Establish prayer and adoration vigils focused on religious liberty.• Participate in the March 23rd protest in Sacramento and San Francisco.• Organize a united front among all Brentwood churches.• Develop a petition drive among all churches: Roman Catholic, Protestant, Muslim and Jewish.• Prepare a letter to every Catholic council in the diocese about our efforts, asking them to take action as well.• Write our sister and brother organizations, the Knights of Columbus, Italian Catholic Federation, Cursillo and Guadalampanos.• Support the Bishop of Oakland and the Catholic Conference of Bishops and endorse a more out-front approach.• Request that Bishop Cordileone pen a comprehensive letter to the diocese on proper Catholic voting.

As the various leaders of Catholic groups such as the Knights of Columbus, Italian Catholic Federation, Cursillo, Hispanic Guadalampanos and Fil Am community were discussing various action steps, the atmosphere

of seriousness and commitment to the purpose brought to mind the determination of historic Americans to promote and defend the freedoms for which so many Americans have already made great sacrifi ces.

Anyone walking among the sub-groups of eight to 10 attendees would have overheard repeated comments along two main themes: First, that while Catholic consciences were at stake, the biggest issue was religious freedom for all our countrymen; and second, that this is one of those occasions in life when one cannot simply sit on the sidelines and do nothing.

Outsiders might have been surprised at the depth of emotion and level of commitment apparent at that meeting, even to the point of remarking, “I didn’t know that many Catholic lay people were so concerned,” for indeed, those leaders represented a small fraction of the parish membership. But even those who might at times fail to fully live up to their vows or principles can be stirred to action when their beliefs and freedoms are challenged.

The Bay Valley Athletic League expe-rienced one of its most successful basket-ball seasons in recent history, as four teams qualifi ed for the California Interscholastic Federation tournament.

The boys and girls squads from Deer Valley moved on to the state tournament after reaching the North Coast Section fi -nals. Heritage’s girls team pulled a major upset and made it to the second round of the NorCal bracket. After a stellar regular season, the boys from Freedom performed well at NCS and made a brief showing in the state tourney.

Deer Valley’s teams, as well as those of Heritage, all advanced to the second round. While the Wolverines were favored, the fi rst-round 53-46 victory over Oakland Tech was a stunner for the Patriots.

Heritage entered the tournament as the lowest seed – No. 12. The Bulldogs were seeded fi fth.

Senior forward Jaszmyn Arsenault was locked on from the perimeter, sinking fi ve three-pointers for a total of 15 points on the night. “The win felt amazing,” Ar-senault told The Press via Twitter. “We started out rocky with a lot of turnovers

but we pulled it together in the end and got it done. … This is the furthest HHS girls basketball has ever made it and we have all worked hard to get to this point.”

But another upset wasn’t in the cards for the Patriots, who fell to No. 4 seeded Oak Ridge 44-29 in the second round.

After the Deer Valley boys team de-feated Bethel 92-89 in overtime in the fi rst round, the Wolverines were again required to clock extra minutes against McCly-monds at Laney College.

The Warriors emerged with an 87-79 victory over Deer Valley in overtime. Junior center Marcus Lee, the BVAL co-MVP, led the Wolverines with 22 points. Fellow co-MVP junior guard Kendall Smith contributed 16 more.

Deer Valley’s girls team started the state tournament in style, knocking off Armijo in a 54-49 victory.

After a third quarter that saw the lead change hands a handful of times, Deer Valley took control and gained the win. “My teammates stepped up a lot,” senior guard Monique Mulder said. “We came out hard. We didn’t want to go home to-night.”

The Wolverines were confi dent head-

Local teams end run at state tournament

BVAL soccer stars sign on the dotted line

Two local high school soccer stars are ready to move on to greater challenges, but want to stay close enough to visit family.

Freedom High forward Catherine Carter, a three-year varsity soccer player, recently signed her letter of intent to at-tend Holy Names University in Oakland. A few days before Carter signed on the dotted line, Heritage goalkeeper Nico Charvet made his college choice – Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont, near San Francisco.

Charvet, recently named the Bay Val-ley Athletic League Defensive Player of the Year, said he enjoyed the small cam-pus at Notre Dame de Namur and felt comfortable with the Argonauts’ coaching staff.

He appreciated that the campus is

far enough from Brentwood to help him gain independence, but close enough that he won’t need to book a fl ight for a home-cooked meal.

Charvet plans to study kinesiology and become a physical therapist after col-lege.

Patriots head coach Alex Valdivia said Charvet was the backbone of the team, as Heritage’s last line of defense: “It’s rare to hear from a coach that his best player is a keeper. I see this player, this student, being very successful in the years to come – not only on the soccer fi eld but as a person.”

Carter, a second-team all-league se-lection, helped the BVAL champion Fal-cons to one of their most successful sea-sons ever. She looks forward to continuing a winning tradition for the Holy Names Hawks, who most recently won the Cali-

Boxing comes to East County ring

East County boxing fans get to see fi ghters from all over California step into the ring for a showcase event Saturday at Brentwood’s LA Boxing, 8650 Brentwood Blvd. Doors open at 1 p.m.; fi sts start fl y-ing at 2.

LA Boxing owner Joseph Garcia is anticipating an exciting event. “People are fi ghting, trying to get records to go to Olympics and Junior Olympics,” he said. In attendance to scout the fi ghters will be boxing-world bigwigs such as Ben Delgado, who has worked with champion Manny Pacquiao; Nevada State Athletic Commission fi ght manager Barbara Ma-nos; and Tom Gafney, president of the United Combat Association.

Local talent includes Brentwood resi-dent Amy Polvorosa, who took up boxing about a year ago. She joined LA Boxing merely to stay in shape – now she’s facing a match that many eyes will be watching.

A different story is that of young kickboxer and Brentwood resident Sam-my Sosa, who brings a decorated martial-arts background as a past IKF Northern California champion. Sosa will be mak-ing his debut as a boxer on Saturday.

In total, 17 fi ghts are on the card. As long as the fi ghters make their weights, all the bouts will go off as scheduled. The weigh-in begins at 10 a.m. and spectators are welcome.

Garcia expects the event to last be-tween two and three hours. “I want to in-troduce popular boxing to Contra Costa County,” he said. “I want to bring a new

sport in to the area, which is boxing. And I want to introduce the gym, get people to know it and see that it’s a good place to host fi ghts.”

Tax Alert for Home BusinessesHome-based businesses are an area in which

even well-intentioned taxpayers can easily run afoul

of the IRS.

Common misconceptions among small busi-

ness owners include, “It’s not my real job – I’m a

nurse! I only make and sell the bird houses on the

side!” or “But I’m not making enough money to

report it on my taxes!” Every home-based business,

no matter how small, must file a tax return. Even if

you are not dependent on your home-based business

to make ends meet, see it as a sideline, a part-time

job or a hobby, IRS considers you self-employed and

expects you to file a return that reflects that status.

If you use a portion of your home for business,

consider whether or not you qualify for the home

office deduction. The general rule is that to take the

home office deduction you must regularly and exclu-

sively use part of your home either as your principal

place of business, or to meet with customers, patients

or clients there. The amount you can deduct depends

on the percentage of your home used for business.

Hobby income can be tricky. IRS considers

income from your hobby to be other taxable income,

unless it has consistently been profitable over the past

few years. After three years in the black, IRS says it’s a

business and you must report it as self-employment

income. Hobby losses can be claimed as a deduction up

to the amount you are claiming as taxable income.

Make sure to deduct all the costs of running

your business – those are legitimate deductions that

you don’t want to miss! Form 4562 is used by small

business owners to claim deductions for depreciation

and amortization. And importantly, if you are making

a profit, don’t forget you owe quarterly payments to

cover your income, Social Security and self-employ-

ment taxes. Many taxpayers with home businesses

on the side are used to having their taxes withheld

by an employer and are unaware that failing to pay

quarterly taxes on profits can cost them more in late

filing penalties.

Good record keeping is essential for small busi-

ness owners, so throughout the year be sure to save

receipts you may need to substantiate information on

your tax return. And because owning a home-based

business adds a new level of complexity to filing your

taxes, you may want to consider consulting a licensed

tax preparer, such as an enrolled agent. A tax expert

can strategize with you each year and help you mini-

mize your tax burden by taking advantages of all the

tax options available to home-based businesses.

Should you have questions about this or any

other tax matter feel free to contact our office. www.

jettax.org, info@www.jettax.org, or call (925)778-0281.

One of our enrolled agents will be happy to assist you.

Titanic performance on Tracy diamondThe Titans 10 White baseball team went 3-1 to cap-

ture the recent TPR Baseball Leap Year Classic Tourna-ment title held at the Tracy Sports Complex. The Titans overcame fi erce competition in the open format, two-day competition.

After a diffi cult loss in pool play, the Titans rebound-ed Sunday in bracket play to beat the rival Delta Dawgs 5-3. The Titans got the spark they needed from a brilliant outfi eld double play from outfi elder/catcher Justin Lund. Pitcher Andrew Neil showed great composure in overcom-ing adversity and leading the Titans in the semifi nal victory.

The championship game was a literal clash of the Ti-tans, pitting the Titans 10 White (AA) against the Titans 10 Blue (Majors). The championship game went scoreless for six innings as both teams played solid defense. After Xavier Nelson pitched four shutout innings, closer Sean Head came in to fi nish the job.

Up for the Titans White’s last at bat, a clutch bunt by Head put the winning run on base. With one out and runners on second and third, catcher Ryan McKinley drove in the winning run with a walk-off line drive that rocketed into left center fi eld, clinching the 1-0 Titans 10 White victory.

Savvy navigatorshead for Diablo’s hallowed hub

The real estate axiom “location, location, location” has its counterpart in outdoor adventures. Just as houses in proximity

to schools, shopping and major transportation arteries are highly prized, so hubs from which scenic trails radiate give hikers options. When the weather turns nasty, when you run out of time – hey, when the madness simply seizes you – there’s nothing like a mid-course correction to encourage the illusion that you’re in command of your destiny.

Murchio GapSSaaavvvvyyy nnnaavviiggaatorshhheeaaaddd fffoorr DDiablo’shallowed hub

G E R E R I C K S O NStaff Writer

see Murchio page 2B

HEALTH & BEAUTY | FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT | CLASSIF IEDS & LEGALS

MARCH 16, 2012T H E P R E S S

Prime propertyAt Mt. Diablo State Park, there’s a

place where the hub principle is in play to the Nth degree – Murchio Gap. Named af-ter Dominic Murchio, a 19th-century Ital-ian immigrant whose holdings occupied a large chunk of Diablo’s Mitchell Canyon, Murchio Gap marks the nexus of no less than four trails – all highways to hiking heaven.

Your springboard is Mt. Diablo’s Donner Canyon trailhead, located on Re-gency Drive in Clayton – a mere 30-min-ute drive from downtown Brentwood. For directions to the trailhead, see the sidebar on page 3B.

Journalistic integrity compels me to mention that Murchio’s rewards come with a price. Unlike the sales pitch of the clothing-store commercial of yesteryear, you don’t “fall into” this Gap. It requires a climb. The Donner Canyon trailhead stands at 540 feet above sea level; Mur-chio Gap at 2,330 feet and 3.25 miles away. So lace ’em up, take a deep breath and enjoy the journey.

For the route from Donner Canyon to Murchio Gap offering the most pan-oramic vista, strike out southbound on Donner Canyon Road to Meridian Ridge Road (1.3 miles) and hang a right. From there you climb another mile and a third on Meridian’s spine to its intersection with Prospector’s Gap Road. Steer right, and a short and shallow ascent hoists you to Murchio’s hallowed hub, where a cove of rocks invites you to catch your breath, hydrate and refuel before sallying forth on the next leg of your adventure.

Now that we stand at the celebrated navigational nexus, a decision is required. Let’s examine those four converging trails:

Back CreekLooking to loop back to where you

started? The shortest route is Back Creek Trail, a single-fi le descent switchbacked through fragrant sage, chamise and buck-brush into the canyon carved by Back Creek. To your right rise the roller-coaster undulations of Meridian Ridge; to your left towers Eagle Peak’s trapezoidal pro-fi le. Along the way, two lovely avenues – the Meridian Point and Tickwood trails – link Back Creek Trail to Donner Canyon. Back Creek Trail bottoms out at a cozy confl uence of rocks, tree roots and creek – the perfect spot for a heel-cooling break.

Eagle PeakFor a return from Murchio Gap that

maintains your elevated status longer than

the Back Creek route, the single-fi le Ea-gle Peak Trail is your ticket. A gracefully bowed ridge connects Murchio to Eagle, where from the apex (2,369’) you can drink in a view west past the East Bay hills to the San Francisco Peninsula and North Bay – a memorable experience at sunset. The view north sweeps over the San Joaquin River to the hills of Napa and Solano counties.

Eagle Peak is a brutal perch when the prevailing northwesterlies come howling, but the descent along the east-facing Ea-gle Peak Trail provides maximum shelter – and the perfect avenue for a moonlight hike: the rising full Moon illuminates your path the whole way.

Deer Flat/JuniperCare to check out Diablo’s western vistas? The Deer Flat

connection provides tantalizing options. From Murchio Gap, drop down Meridian Ridge Road 5 miles to the fork at Deer Flat Road. If you’re done for the day, tack right and descend Mitchell Canyon, where Mitchell Creek makes merry music in spring, and the canyon offers some of East Bay’s best colors in autumn.

The leftward route, Deer Flat Road, swings around Diablo’s west face and hooks up with Juniper Trail’s single-fi le ascent to the mountain’s Summit. Be warned: the Juniper option means you’ll be taking a 12-mile trek, minimum. But among the re-wards of the lower Deer Flat Trail is a traipse past billows of purple bush lupine and narrowleaf goldenbush.

Prospector’s GapFeel the hankering for an eastward odyssey? Prospector’s

Gap Road, which you encountered on your way up to Murchio Gap, hoists you 1.7 miles to the namesake gap (2,955’) between Diablo’s Summit and North Peak. Along the way you can curtail your expedition by pivoting left onto Middle Trail and moseying down to Falls Trail, a splashy choice in spring.

Hardy hikers who make the climb to Prospector’s Gap are faced with a nice dilemma: left to North Peak (3,557’) and Olym-pia Summit (2,946’) – returning to the Donner Canyon trailhead – or right to Diablo’s main Summit (3,849’) and that aforemen-tioned 12-mile excursion. Either way, the view east is one to savor – especially at sunrise, when the mist-enshrouded undulations of Morgan Territory far below glow in pale violet. A hundred miles beyond, the snow-capped Sierra range snakes across the horizon.

Bald RidgeThe most elevated and isolated of the four routes radiating

from Murchio Gap, Bald Ridge – this writer’s favorite sanctuary on the mountain – escorts you on a winding, single-fi le, 1.25-mile trail to Prospector’ Gap along rolling, rocky vistas through prime wildfl ower territory. On a clear day you can spot the silhouette of Mount Saint Helena at the north end of Napa Valley.

Take advantage of Bald Ridge’s isolation and keep an eye

peeled for deer, coyotes and bobcats. Although the trail’s ascent to Prospector’s Gap is more gradual than Prospector’s Gap Road’s long, steep fi nale, it does present some short, challenging ups and downs. If you own a walking stick, bring it.

Friendly advice to mountain bikers: there’s a reason why three of these four trails are marked No Bicycles. If a screaming careen down Back Creek Trail can put you in the hospital, Eagle Peak and Bald Ridge trails can put you in the morgue. Take a tumble on those, and your crash helmet will be using you for protection.

First-timers to Murchio Gap – 50th-timers, come to think of it – will benefi t from a little cartography. A good map of Mt. Di-ablo State Park (sixth edition) is available at REI in The Streets of Brentwood lifestyle center on Sand Creek Road. If you’re one of those souls who fi nds a hiking trail – any trail – impossible to resist, if you’re drawn to it as a salmon to the stream of its spawning, scribble a big bull’s-eye onto Murchio Gap on that Mt. Diablo trail map. And happy navigating.

From East County, two main routes get you to the Donner Canyon trailhead:• From the Brentwood, Oakley and Discovery Bay area, head west on Marsh Creek Road. Your fi rst stoplight (all the way from the Highway 4 Bypass) is Regency Drive in Clayton. Take a left, park at the dead-end, hop down the ravine and enter Mt. Diablo State Park through the entrance south-bound onto Donner Canyon Road.• Those in the Antioch/Pittsburg area can take Kirker Pass Road south to Clayton Road. Hang a left and go east on Clayton Road, which becomes Marsh Creek Road. Your last stoplight before departing Clayton is Regency Drive. Take Regency right, park at the dead-end and breeze through the entrance southbound onto Donner Canyon Road.To get a peek at Mt. Diablo’s basic layout, visit www.mdia.org/PDF%20Files/MtDiabloBrochure.pdf and scroll to the bottom for the trail map.

Bridgehead Café welcomes

Bridgehead Café in Antioch is easy to miss when you drive by, but the fami-ly-owned restaurant has been in business for 26 years – and going strong. “The reason a lot of people eat here is because they feel comfortable,” said Murray Sex-ton, who owns the restaurant with his wife, Heather. The Sextons, along with Manager Lusanne Bough and a loyal staff, pride themselves on being person-ally connected to their customers and their community.

“We’re friends with everybody,” said Heather. “We as a business have really grown and become a part of the commu-nity.” Regulars are greeted by name and are likely to be asked about their fami-lies, their health and recent life events. Owners and servers alike are happy to chat with patrons, and always eager to get to know newcomers. The restaurant reserves a special wall on which families of military service men and women can post photos of their loved ones overseas.

“Our people are real,” Heather said. “They actually care.” This personal con-nection brings patrons back through multiple generations. One regular cus-tomer used to come to the café with her grandmother every Sunday, and now brings her own children. Another patron stops by a few times a day for

coffee. Murray’s fi rst-ever customer still comes in seven days a week to dine and socialize with the staff.

The décor is another of Bridge-head Café’s attractions. Designed in cozy browns and reds, the comfortable

ambiance is given a country feel by the cattle harnesses, tools, wind chimes and pictures that adorn the walls. “I just like the country look,” said Murray. He once toyed with the idea of modernizing the café’s appearance, but changed his mind when customers objected.

Then, of course, there’s the food. Featuring home-style cooking, Bridge-head’s menu offers everything from all-day breakfast to all-you-can-eat dinners. The popular Biscuits and Gravy, made from scratch every day, can be ordered with bacon or sausage for $5.19, or by themselves for $3.79. Murray’s Chicken Fried Steak, topped with mushrooms, grilled onions and brown gravy and served with sides, is in high demand at dinner time.

On Saturdays and Sundays, diners can enjoy All You Can Eat Fried Chick-en for $12.99. Other all-you-can-eat spe-cials include tacos, ravioli, fi sh or clams, plus veal or chicken parmesan. Heather said the quality of the all-you-can-eat dishes is the same as the regular menu items (“Murray won’t compromise on that!”) For dessert, diners can top off with a slice of homemade pie for $3.95, or a host of other sweets including ba-nana splits.

“We’re trying to keep that comfort, community style,” said Heather. “It’s so important.” The Bridgehead Café way has worked for 26 years, and Mur-

ray and Heather look forward to many more. No doubt their customers do, too.

Bridgehead Café, located at 2415 E. 18th St. in Antioch, is open Mondays

and Tuesdays from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Wednesdays through Sundays from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Call 925- 757-4774.
