Judge rules against suspended Heritage students

After roughly 30 Heritage High School seniors were suspended and banned from Saturday’s commencement ceremony as punishment for a prank in-volving a lamb chained to a pole and footprints painted on the ground, a judge upheld the school’s decision.

The prank, which involved about 80 Heritage students, occurred the evening of Thursday, May 31. Parents took legal action earlier this week, requesting that the suspended students be allowed to take all of their fi nal exams and walk in the commencement ceremony.

Heritage offi cials decided earlier this week to cut the suspension to two days, allowing students to return to campus Wednesday.

Contra Costa County Superior Court Judge David B. Flinn on Tuesday upheld that decision. Tests missed on Monday and Tuesday will be made up at teachers’ discretion, in line with the state’s education code. The students who were suspended will not be able to participate in the graduation ceremony.

“It’s just a really really unfortunate situation on so many levels,” said Liberty Union High School District Superinten-dent Eric Volta. “I truly believe that the school did what it could to communicate to the students that any participation in a prank would result in their commence-

ment privileges being taken away.”Walnut Creek-based attorney Peter

Johnson, representing the families of 12 of the suspended students, said the se-niors’ transcripts will be on hold until the matter is resolved.

“I don’t feel good about the fact that the stay wasn’t issued,” Johnson said. “I

can’t assure them they’ll be able to do all of their fi nals, and they won’t be able to walk at commencement.”

Another hearing, scheduled at the Martinez courthouse for Thursday, June 14 at 9 a.m., will deal with the legality of a school withholding fi nal exams during a suspension.

Johnson and Heritage principal Lar-ry Oshodi said several teachers approve of the suspension and are not likely to grant make-up exams. The principal be-lieves that the students’ actions crossed the line from pranksterism to vandalism.

But some students feel otherwise. “Our teachers are inappropriate,” said suspended senior Zach Szopinski. “The teachers are treating us like we’re grade-A criminals.”

Oshodi said students were warned beforehand that any act of vandalism as a result of a senior prank would lead to discipline, including suspensions and the inability to participate in the commence-ment ceremony. Originally, the length of the suspension was fi ve days, but district offi cials shortened it to two.

Ray Valverde, president of the LUHSD Board, agreed with Oshodi’s rul-ing. He noted that nearly all the suspend-ed students should have earned enough credits to receive diplomas, but their grade point average would be hurt.

“Anybody’s entitled to legal action,” Valverde said, “but we’ve used taxpayers’ money to build the school and we have a  responsibility not only to the Heritage community but to the whole district to protect our interest.”

The lamb, which Brentwood police found chained to a light pole on campus early Monday morning, is in good health.

Warm weather heats up interest at county fair

Thousands of racing fans cheering the spectacle of a racecar on its roof isn’t an ordinary occurrence, but the Con-tra Costa County Fair isn’t an ordinary event.

Thousands turned out May 31 to June 3 for the yearly affair, which attract-ed patrons with a variety of off-the-wall events, shows and food options.

Overall attendance fi gures for the 76th annual fair hadn’t been compiled by Press time, but CEO  Robert  Williamson anticipates a large increase. “All in all, it was a success,” Williamson said. “The grandstands were packed and everyone appeared happy.”

The theme of this year’s event, Under the Sun, lived up to its billing. Rain inter-rupted much of the event last year, which led to decreased attendance.

“It was great to have it be sunny for all three days,” said Williamson.

Traditional favorites such as jugglers, carnival rides and sugary treats awaited patrons the minute they breezed through the turnstiles, but nothing ramped up emotions like the series of events brought back from past years.

The return of stockcar racing com-bined with a series of other automotive crowd-pleasers kick-started the adrenalin of fans. Crowd favorites included boat trailer races, a racecar rollover competi-

tion and dancing sea lions.“It was really a great fair,” William-

son said. “We were really busy.”Proceeds from the livestock auction

increased 52 percent from last year, eclips-

ing $200,000.As darkness fell on each of the fair’s

four evenings, music honoring music leg-ends erupted from the fair’s main stage, including Rocking Down the Highway

(Doobie Brothers), Cream of Clapton (Eric Clapton) and Blaze of Glory (Bon Jovi). The Spazmatics performed ’80s mu-

The Contra Costa County Fair carnival features thrill rides, above left, for all ages. Chris Lionel, right, celebrates from atop his car after his winning run in the rollover contest at the Antioch Speedway.

Liberty High School Interact Club members Kaitlyn Zeigler, Mariah Piepho, Hailey Schneider, Cody Deyoe, Mekalia Pippen, Briana Lucca and Sharleen Chandra worked alongside members of the Rotary Club of Brentwood to complete a painted, scaled map of the United States in the quad at Garin Elementary School.

The project took about three days, from the prep work of cleaning the surface to the use of a 1,000-square-foot stencil to draw the map. According to Rotarian and project manager Dirk Zeigler, the map will give kids the op-portunity to play and learn at the same time.

Have you ever seen someone per-form on TV and think, “Hey, I could do that”?

That’s what happened to Discov-ery Bay resident Kristin Bradshaw, 21, a fan of the reality competition “The Sing Off.” After loyally watching the televised a capella competition for sev-eral seasons, Bradshaw has decided to form her group. The ensemble might not win America’s vote and a record-ing contract with a major music label, but the idea of creating a community a capella group struck Bradshaw as a

fun challenge.“I’ve watched every season of

‘The Sing Off ’ since it started,” she said. “I’ve always thought a cappella groups were so cool – the fact that ev-ery sound is coming from a person. When I started visiting colleges with my sister, I saw all these colleges with a cappella groups. I really wanted to be in something like that, but we don’t have anything like that around here. Took me some time, but I decided, why not just start one myself ?”

Bradshaw is currently accepting audition submissions from vocalists who’d like to sing in her to-be-named group. The Los Medanos College stu-

dent knows it’s difficult to carve out time for recreational activities, so she invited the public to submit digital copies of a capella auditions by June 24.

Bradshaw invites anyone who loves music to submit an audition to her e-mail address, bubbli_n_purple_4@ho-tmail.com. There are no restrictions regarding gender, age or vocal range. Once the members have been selected, Bradshaw will work with them to es-tablish a schedule that works for every-one. Audition clips must be at least one minute long, and Bradshaw encour-ages performers to choose a song that best highlights their vocal abilities. She

also welcomes beat boxers.Bradshaw embraced her love of

music as a student at Liberty High School, where under the mentorship of choir director Sue Stuart she began to hone her talents.

“Choir changed my life,” Brad-shaw said. “I was involved in every choir. I was on choir council one year, and I did all the extras such as Rent-A-Carol and solo and ensemble. Any-thing I could be a part of, I was.”

Bradshaw is also asking applicants to complete a short survey. For more information about the audition pro-cess, call Bradshaw at 925-848-9842.

Fresh on the heels of perfor-mances of Disney’s “Mulan,” the Brentwood Teen Theater (BTT) is making ambitious plans in the arena of contemporary musical theater.

Beginning June 16, BTT will be holding auditions for its summer session of preparation for the Sep-tember production of the musical “Footloose.”

Inspired by the motion picture “Footloose,” starring Kevin Bacon as a big-city teen who must move with his single mother to a small con-

servative farm town, the musical “is probably our most challenging show for soloists and dancers since our production of ‘High School Musical 2,” according to BTT Artistic Direc-tor and Brentwood resident Steve Kinsella. BTT was the fi rst train-ing program in California allowed by Disney to present “High School Musical 2.”

The Saturday sessions at BTT enter their eighth year of providing professional-level training in sing-ing, acting, stage presence and con-

fi dence training. Many of Kinsella’s former students have gone on to Broadway and won impressive col-lege scholarships.

A working actor himself, Kin-sella teaches practical and clear con-cepts for students to grasp and  im-plement easily into their skill set.

All participants in the training session (for performers 10 to 18) are cast in the show. For information on the auditions and training, visit www.brentwoodteentheater.com  or call 925-516-9009.

HOW SELLERS CHOOSE OFFERS PART IIWhile sellers with equity are probably

MOST concerned about the net price, that is not usually the top consideration for short sale sellers. In a short sale, the seller isn’t getting the proceeds, so a higher offer doesn’t translate into more money to them. However, a short sale seller DOES need to make sure they exposed the home to the market and that they are pre-senting the best overall offer to their bank(s) for consideration. They have a legal and ethi-cal duty to try to reduce the bank’s losses (yes, even if the seller thinks that all banks are the spawn of the Devil). Basically the short sale seller needs to be able to honestly say that they choose offer A over offer B because offer A had fewer credits, stronger financials, quicker close, etc. even though offer B was for a higher purchase price. But if the seller purposefully chooses a lower offer over a higher offer only because the seller knows the buyer, or has worked out some other kind of “deal” on the side with that buyer, that could be considered loan fraud.

But does this mean the short sale seller has to submit only the highest offer to the

bank? No, not necessarily. The seller will often choose the offer that is the most likely to close, but that still represents at least market value for the property. Sometimes we get less than 30 days to close a short sale because of an approaching foreclosure date. This may not leave time for some FHA or VA financing to go through. Or let’s say the property is in disrepair, and it’s likely that FHA or VA financing will require certain repairs to be made or the loan won’t be approved.

But this does not mean that 100% cash offers will win every time. Some 100% cash buyers think they can buy short sales at a big discount and are frustrated when I tell them their offer is too far below market value. The seller’s lender will look at the value of the home and compare it against the offer and will reject offers that are too low, despite being all cash.

‘Oklahoma,’ you’re OKThe Broad-

way Under the Stars’ produc-tion of the be-loved musical theater classic “ O k l a h o m a ! ” runs Friday, June 15 through Sunday, July 1 at the Heri-tage Theater on the campus of Heritage High School, 101 American Way in Brentwood.

Directed by Steve Kinsella of the Kinsella Theater Group, and produced by Jack Gaughan of the Brent-wood Theater Company, Rod-gers and Ham-merstein’s fi rst collaboration remains their most innova-tive. “Oklahoma!” set the standards and established the rules of musical theater still being followed today.

Set in the early 20th-century West, the high-spirited musical depicts the rivalry between local farmers and cowboys. The love story of Curly, a handsome cowboy,

and Laurey, a winsome farm girl, is as bumpy as a  surrey ride down a country road. That they’ll succeed in making a new life together we have no doubt, and that this new life will take root in a b r a n d - n e w state provides the climax to the “Okla-homa!”

The cur-tain goes up for Friday and Saturday evening per-fo r m a n c e s at 7:30 p.m.;

Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. All seats are reserved. Tickets are $24 for adults (19-64); $22 for seniors (65 and over); $15 for teens (13-18); and $7 for children (6-12).

For tickets, log on to www.thebrentwoodtheater.org or drop by The Gallery On Second, 741 Second St.in downtown Brentwood.

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage MattersBy Trevor Frey

“Show me the money!” - A notorious saying in some circles, but always referenced back to the 1996 Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding, Jr., fi lm, Jerry Mcguire. In the fi lm it was said fi rst by Cuba Gooding Jr. while he made the most important fi nancial decision of his family’s life. For anyone being foreclosed, or being threatened with foreclosure, here in California, “Show me the note!” is the battle cry for fi ghting the foreclosure.

On two recent occasions in California restraining orders have been in place to stop foreclosure proceedings because the lender(s) were not to the provide the bankruptcy courts the documentation needed to prove they truly owned the note – therefore they could not prove they had the right to foreclose on the property in question. With the very recently released Offi ce of Th rift Supervision study, announced by managing director Grovetta Gardineer, providing evidence that 55% of all “modifi ed loans” redefault within the fi rst six months, it’s truly relevant to begin discussions on alternative ways of saving your home.

Since California permits foreclosure proceedings to begin without the homeowner represented by legal counsel, for anyone in foreclosure, or threatened with foreclosure, it’s come to a point where hiring, or at least looking into, legal counsel should be a serious thought. Instead of paying for a loan modifi cation that promises no fi nish line, or exact results, why not at the very least investigate the idea of a real estate attorney, or a bankruptcy attorney to save your home? Quoting from yet another fi lm, this time the 1972 classic, Th e Godfather, “every great wealth comes from a great crime.” Th e very same lenders, brokerages, and trading fi rms that made hundreds of

millions (in some cases, billions) from the housing boom, are also the same sloppy companies that apparently did not pay enough attention to the details – such as the needed documentation to confi rm ownership of many mortgage notes. With over $810 billion in mortgages converted into securities and made available for trading in 2006 it is not becoming apparent in the courts that not every lender executed the proper paperwork to transfer some of those mortgages to the investors who thought they bought them, and so now those investors are being told by the courts they cannot foreclose on those loans!

Simply stated, if the party trying to foreclose can’t provide proof they own the note on your home, how can they possibly call said note due and retain ownership of the collateral, thus foreclosing on your family? In court, by law, if they lender cannot provide the needed documentation - the original note – within 5 years of it being requested (5 years is the statute of limitation for these cases) than the homeowner is free of any obligation on the mortgage. As former federal bankruptcy Judge Glen Ayers stated, banks looking to reap the benefi t of the note “may not be able to show the judge they have the right to foreclose.” More and more Judges nationwide are taking a page out of Johnny Depp’s book while they tell lender’s to “forget about it” just as he did in the 1997 fi lm, Donnie Brasco!

Regardless of how this topic aff ects you directly, it’s truly important that you’re informed and aware of the conversations taking place around you.

When Oakley Union Elementary School District (OUESD) offi cials launched their Extended Day Learning Centers pro-gram at the start of the school year, the plan was to provide parents with affordable, local daycare options at the primary-school level.

“We really wanted to offer parents a safe and positive after-school option,” said Maryann Hussey, OUESD assistant super-intendent of Student Services. “And I think we did. This year we had approximately 175 to 200 students enrolled in the program. It’s been very successful.”

So successful, in fact, that when students return to the classroom in August, families will have an additional after-school option, this time for their middle school students.

It’s called Extended Day Youth Centers, and beginning Aug. 1, middle school stu-dents at O’Hara Park and Delta Vista will be eligible to participate in the after-school-only program. Operating on the same premise as the Extended Day Learning Centers with an emphasis not only on extended days but extended learning, the middle school version will cater to the pre-teen mindset.

“There will be the same elements as the elementary program, such as tutoring, enrichment classes such as art, music and

some drama,” said Hussey. “But there will also be options such as community service and career exploration; especially as they get ready for high school. Right now when I talk to students about the future, they think I’m talking about Friday night. We want to get them thinking about setting some goals.”

The program will be offered after school (noon on Wednesdays for the district’s mini-mum days) starting at the end of the school day until 6 p.m. Students will attend the program at their regular school site and, as with the elementary program, be served by OUESD employees, teachers and staff.

For those looking down the road, such as Laurel Elementary Librarian Lauri See-no, the middle school program is a nice op-tion. “This (elementary) program has been a wonderful option for us,” said Seeno, whose 9-year-old son participates in the after-school program. “The program is great and they have a wonderful curriculum. When he gets to middle school we’ll probably take ad-vantage of that, too.”

Sign-ups are currently underway and copies of the Extended Day Youth Centers handbook and applications are available on-line at www.ouesd.k12.ca.us. The monthly cost of the program is $235 for fi ve days, $144 for three days and $25 for Wednesdays only . For more information, call 925-625-0700.

Liberty students create Delta muralNumerous Liberty Union High School

District (LUHSD) and Brentwood city offi -cials gathered at King Park to acknowledge the talent and dedication of the Liberty students who created a mural depicting the underwater world of the Delta.

“This mural represents the outstand-ing result of great cooperation between and among city and school personnel and members of the community,” said LUHSD Board President Ray Valverde.

Collaborating in the creation of the mural were Liberty’s Arts and Humanities Academy staff and the community, includ-ing the Brentwood City Council and Art Commission. Academy teachers Katie Col-lins and Lloyd Cornwell thanked a long list of contributors as Brentwood Mayor Bob Taylor led the ribbon-cutting ceremony, ex-pressing hope that the mural would be only the beginning of student artwork enhanc-ing the beauty of Brentwood.

For nearly 20 years, LUHSD has supported academy programs at Liberty, Freedom and Heritage High Schools that provide directed career study for students in various fi elds. Liberty’s Art Academy will receive nearly $100,000 over two years from the California Department of Educa-tion’s Partnership grant program. The City of Brentwood provided further funding for the mural and has helped facilitate the cre-ative process and protect the artwork from graffi ti and vandalism.

Students who contributed to the project include Ismael Alvarez, Jakky Anstine, Danielle Bowersmith, Justin Brown, Natalie Colmenares, Teresa DeFrates, Rachel Dirk, Michelle Duarte, Shannon Fickling, Lorena Garcia, Doug Gil, Anthony Green, Debbie Love, Lauren Murphy, Michael Najera, Ana Nunag, Cassie Oseguera, Riley Ruano, Samantha Scott, DJ Trammell, Omar Valasquez, Lei Wei and Rebecca Wood. Their names have been placed on a plaque at the entrance of the tunnel at King Park.

SWAT at the library

The Brentwood Library has invited the city’s Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team to the Brentwood Community Cen-ter, 35 Oak St., for a special program on Wednesday, June 20 at 6 p.m.

SWAT teams are specialized law en-forcement groups designed to deal with deli-cate or unusual situations. The fi rst SWAT team was organized in the 1960s by the Los Angeles Police Department in response to sniper attacks. Brentwood’s SWAT team re-sponds to a variety of emergencies, includ-ing hostage rescue and barricaded suspect apprehension. Attendees will learn about SWAT weapons, covert surveillance technol-ogy and ballistic protection.

The free, 45-minute program, designed for school-age kids and teens, is sponsored in partnership with the Friends of the Brent-wood Library. For more information, call 925-516-5290, or visit www.ccclib.org.

According to Abe Gamez, deputy direc-tor of Contra Costa County Animal Ser-vices, the lamb was not injured and will be held at the county facility in Martinez un-til someone adopts it or it is turned over to a rescue group.

Volta believes that a group of stu-dents purchased the lamb.

Most of the paint has been cleaned up, but faint red marks still stain the concrete on various parts of the campus. Oshodi said many of the banners stolen early Friday morning have since been re-covered.

A concrete bench was moved around, and stickers reading “I don’t give a (exple-tive), I’m a senior” were posted all over the school. Oshodi also found one of those stickers on his door.

“Is the suspension appropriate? Yes it is,” Oshodi said Monday. “It’s what we would’ve done any other time of year.”

Szopinski said the only planned prank was for students to dip their feet in washable paint and run around campus as a way to leave their mark. But accord-ing to Szopinski, things got out of hand. He claims that he had already left by the time another group of students brought a sheep to campus and chained it to a light pole.

The students in question feel that by going back on Sunday to clean their mess, as well as publically apologizing, they’ve paid their penalty and should be allowed to walk with their classmates. Seniors also stood outside the school Monday morn-

ing, holding signs that read “Sorry” and other expressions of remorse. At Tues-day’s hearing in Martinez, students and parents registered their objections to Her-itage’s leadership, stating that the decision to suspend was heavy-handed. Students said the prank started innocently, but spun out of control. Parents are worried that the decision to bar students from taking fi nal exams could be disastrous to their college plans.

Oshodi said Monday that most sus-pended students would be allowed to re-ceive their diplomas, but their grade point average would suffer as a result.

“The process that the school did was unduly – it wasn’t the correct way,” said Marcie, a mother of a suspended senior. “I’d rather have them go to the police to fi nd the real other people. It’s not fair that my son got suspended. What about all the other kids?”

Remarks painted all over windows on campus, apparently generated by the Class of 2010, were discovered Monday morning. But Heritage offi cials believe they were unrelated to the prior prank. Oshodi was shocked and saddened when he found them and expressed hope that defacing school property doesn’t become an annual tradition at Brentwood’s new-est high school.

There has also been evidence of students making threats against fellow classmates accused of snitching – another grievance Heritage offi cials are taking se-riously.

My husband, Walter, and I go on weekend adventures to peel the stress of daily life and this abysmal economy. Dur-ing one jaunt, we found ourselves in an antique garden in Sutter Creek probing the curious display of metal chairs the size of matchbox. It inspired a new hobby – miniature gardening.

A miniature gardener is happy and silly. In pursuit of this absolutely use-less endeavor, I scoured nurseries for dwarf-leafed plants that stay small, gently scraped mosses from cracks and crevices and endlessly shopped online for whimsi-cal garden furniture and accessories.

My backyard is now a refuge for mythical creatures. Inside an heirloom

birdcage, nymphs dine on fanciful white bistro bedecked with silver teapot on a tray sheltered by Boston ferns, baby tears and succulents. Giant mushrooms shroud a mossy path where gnomes meander amidst frogs and snails before fading be-hind a keyed red door perched on gnarled roots of a mature redwood.

Tiny earthen footprints lead to where fairies rest on a bench watching splatters from a birdbath or ride a bike whilst sa-voring wee vegetables grown in  a fenced plot guarded by a thumb-size copper-wire scarecrow dressed in overalls, straw hat and green rubber boots.

Fire district prepares for cutbacks

The East Contra Costa Fire Protection District board will meet Monday to discuss its next steps after voters this week soundly rejected Measure S, the $197-per-parcel tax aimed at staving off station closures and fi refi ghter layoffs.

The measure, which needed a two-thirds majority to pass, got only 6,193 Yes votes, or 44 percent of the 14,216 votes cast.

“Right now, it’s clear a super-majority of voters aren’t willing to pay for additional services, so now we have our marching orders and will work with the budget we have, providing the best service possible, even as we are forced to vote on what stations to close and how many fi refi ghters to lay off,” ECCFPD Board President Kevin Romick wrote in a press release. “We simply wanted to give voters a choice and we feel we did that in a straightforward and transparent process.” The district’s $12 million budget must be cut to $8 million to make ends meet.

A disappointed Fire Chief Hugh Henderson said the board next week will consider two alternatives developed earlier as a contingency should Measure S fail. One is a three-station model staffi ng three fi refi ghters at each, which would place nine fi refi ghters on duty at all times in the dis-trict. The other is a four-station model staffi ng two fi refi ght-ers at each, putting a total of eight fi refi ghters on duty.

“Neither service model is going to make anybody hap-py,” Henderson said Wednesday. “We have to just put the best service out there we can.”

According to Oakley resident Dave Roberts, an out-spoken opponent of the tax, the defeat of Measure S was not surprising, given the state of the economy and the mas-sive pension debt facing the district.

“Had the fi re district done everything it could to cut

costs, the voters might have looked more favorably on this signifi cant tax hike,” said Roberts. Freezing salaries, cutting overtime, reducing pensions and hiring more paid-on-call fi refi ghters all should be on the table for possible reductions, he said, as should investigating the hiring of a private-sector fi re protection service.

“Whichever course the district chooses, it won’t be easy,” Roberts added. “But just as over-taxed taxpayers

have had to tighten their belts, so should the government.”Measure S supporters who gathered at a local restau-

rant Tuesday evening to watch returns come in were sad-dened by the results and shocked at the size of the defeat. President Vince Wells of fi refi ghter Union Local 1230 be-lieves a critical public-safety problem was overwhelmed when the discussion turned from the short-term effort to keep stations open to the long-term need for benefi t reform.

“Unfortunately, a message got out there that this was about pensions,” Wells said. “Hopefully, another plan will come forward, but I’m not optimistic they will have any-thing in place too soon.”

As many as 19 fi refi ghters are facing layoffs, including Kalani Dillon, a captain at Bethel Island’s Station 95, which is expected to be one of the stations closed. It is the loss of so many dedicated locals, many of whom served as paid-on-call fi refi ghters for years prior to becoming full-timers, that is most upsetting.

“It’s not the money and it’s not pensions,” he said. “It’s all the local boys who are losing their jobs. Some of us have turned down better-paying jobs in other departments to stay and serve this community, and then this happens. It hurts.”

Henderson said next week’s fi re board meeting would decide which stations would close, and that a fi nal budget required to implement the changes would go before the board for a vote on June 25. Layoffs and station closures would take effect on July 1.

“As chief, I couldn’t be any prouder of the fi refi ghters who have continued to put in 110 percent through all of this,” Henderson said, adding that that the stiff-upper-lip attitude that has long maintained morale in the chronically underfunded department has taken a huge hit.

“This,” Henderson said, “was overwhelming.”To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

The 70-member Summerset Singers chorus perform at the new Brentwood Civic Center Auditorium on Sunday, June 24 at 2:30 p.m. The program features more than a dozen choral selections, including a long medley from the hit Broadway show “The Music Man.”

But “The Music Man” is just the tip of the performance iceberg. The audience will be treated to Elton John’s “Circle of Life” plus “You Raise Me Up” as recorded by Josh Groban. Among other works on the program are “Requerdo,” specially written for the Singers by music professor Nancy Bachman, and Händel’s “Holy Art Thou.”

For the fi rst time in Summerset Sing-ers’ performance history, the ensemble will be joined by Singers’ grandchildren, who will bring an angelic aura to “A Place in the Choir” and “Dona Nobis Pacem,” arranged by chorus music director Ernie Macintyre. In honor of the children’s participation, the

concert theme is “A Place in the Choir.”“We’ve all worked very hard on this

concert and I think everyone who attends will fi nd lots of tunes they will really en-joy,” said Macintyre. “The expanded cho-rus has become a group I’m really proud to direct.”

Summerset Singers President Mike Spellman echoed Macintyre’s enthusiasm.

“Our ability to perform complex choral pieces has grown by leaps and bounds,” he said. “I think everyone who attends the concert will be impressed with what they hear.”

The Singers will have two perfor-mances under their belts prior to the Civic Auditorium concert. The Summerset Vista Clubhouse, where the chorus normally

holds Monday evening rehearsals, will pro-vide the venue for performances on Friday and Saturday, June 22 and 23 at 7 p.m.

Admission for all performances is for $15 adults; $10 for children 12 and under. Reservations for the downtown matinee concert are available online by visiting www.summersetsingers.org or by phone at 925-516-9541.

First Impressions Last

Debt Settlement/Consolidationvs. Bankruptcyby Joan Grimes, Esq.

– Advertisement

Clients come into my offi ce every week saying that they are in a debt settlement plan/consolidation plan, BUT are now (a) being sued by a creditor or (b) they have received a 1099c income statement from a creditor that was included in the debt settlement plan or (c) have other debts not included. How can this be?

First, just because you are in a debt settlement plan, it does not mean that a creditor cannot sue you on an account. It happens every day. In some cases, the lawsuit is because a debt could not be included in the settlement because a creditor would not agree. In other cases, the reason for the lawsuit was that the creditor was not receiving payments from the debt settlement plan in an amount that would satisfy the creditor.

Second, just because you are in a debt settlement plan, it does not mean that the creditor will not issue you a 1099c for that portion of the debt which is forgiven. In fact, the IRS REQUIRES creditors to issue a 1099c to individuals where more than $600 in debt is forgiven. Th erefore, if you settle with a VISA for $5,000 on a $50,000 bill, you will receive a $45,000 1099c which will be considered income to you and will be taxed at your current tax rate.

Th ird, just because you are in a debt settlement/consolidation plan, it does not mean that your credit will not be aff ected or that creditors will stop calling you. Creditors can still contact you for the collection of debts they are owed unless or until you fi le bankruptcy. Also, a debt settlement program will impact your credit in the future and have long-term side eff ects because you will have late payments and even when you settle, your credit report will not show

that the account was paid in full.Debt settlement plans are alternatives to

bankruptcy. If you do not qualify for bankruptcy, then you will have no choice but to proceed with the settlement or consolidation plan. However, most people DO qualify for bankruptcy and in fact, most qualify for a Chapter 7 which requires NO payments back to creditors. Even, if you do not qualify for a Chapter 7, the payments in Chapter 13 will in almost every instance be signifi cantly lower than what you are paying to the debt settlement or consolidation company and in most cases you will be paying NO interest on the debt. Better yet, there will be no 1099c received aft er the bankruptcy because Bankruptcy is one of the exceptions to the debt forgiveness rule.

In conclusion, these are very tough times. You are not alone. If you are having trouble paying your bills as they come due, I recommend you seek legal counsel before you enter into a debt settlement or consolidation plan. Know all of your options and then you will be able to make the best decision for you and your family.

OPINIONEDITORIALS, LETTERS & COMMENTARY

National Award Winning NewspapersHave you got something to say?

Visit www.thepress.net and let your thoughts be known.

Remind kids to stay safeEditor:

As we approach the closing of our schools for summer break, we must recognize that this will be the beginning of our children spending a lot more time out and about on our neighborhood streets. I am asking all of us to be espe-cially safe drivers during these months.

In 2009, 4,092 pedestrians were killed and an estimated 59,000 were injured in traffi c collisions in the United States. Pedestrian deaths account for 12 percent of all traffi c-related deaths. Forty-eight percent of all pedestrians killed in the United States died in crashes that occurred on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, which indicates that those days of the week could represent seven days of the week during the summer for children.

According to the National Highway Traffi c Safety Administration, hybrid vehicles have a much higher rate of being involved in pedestrian accidents. A study conducted by the University of Califor-nia Riverside found that hybrids operat-ing at slower speeds must be 40-percent closer to pedestrians before they make enough noise to be heard. On average, a pedestrian was killed every two hours and injured every nine minutes in auto accidents in our nation.

Children at age 15 and younger ac-counted for 7 percent of the pedestrian fatalities in 2008 and 22 percent of all pedestrians injured in traffi c accidents.

We must remember that children are caught up in the moment (or their smart phones), and may dart out into the street, not realizing that a vehicle is close by.

And when our kids are not on foot, bicycle safety is equally important. Thir-teen percent of all fatal bicycle accidents affect children under the age of 16 and comprise 25 percent of those injured. Twenty-eight percent of all fatal bicycle accidents occur between the hours of 5 and 9 p.m.

In light of these glaring and tragic statistics, it is imperative that we all remind our children to be safe pedestri-ans and cyclists – to never assume that they have the right of way, and to be aware of their surroundings at all times. In addition, adults and teenagers need to be reminded that they should be cautious drivers, especially during the summer, when there are larger numbers of chil-dren enjoying outdoor activities through-out our community’s streets.

If we all work together on this, our children and our families will certainly have a more safe and enjoyable summer.

Contra Costa County

Citizenship Drive a winnerEditor:

This past Saturday, You, Me, We Oakley!, Contra Costa Interfaith Supporting Community Organiza-tion (CCISCO) and the International

Institute of the Bay Area (IIBA) hosted a Citizenship Drive at O’Hara Park Middle School, and would like to thank everyone that helped make this event a success.

We would like to thank The Friends of Oakley, and Oakley residents Julie and Alan Hartford for making a gener-ous contribution to our Citizenship Drive. Combined, The Friends of Oakley and the Hartfords sponsored 15 Oakley residents by paying their $40 registration fee.

The Citizenship Drive would not have been possible without the help of our amazing volunteers, who recognized the need to help others on their path to citizenship. We would like to extend our gratitude to all of the legal and non-legal volunteers who dedicated their time and expertise to our community: Winnie Inago, Yolanda Diaz, Mary Guzman, Beatriz Rodriguez, Adriana Rodriguez, Noor Abdullah, Erika Ramirez, Nonie Reyes, David Alejandro Lopez, Alondra Lopez, Emilia Rodriguez, Gabriela Na-rez, Gabriela Melena, Alfredo Coronel, Karla Rodriguez, Stephanie Zelidon, Gaynell Braxton, Patricia Sanche, Darlene Dulick, Aislinn Miller, Michael Epstein, Jaime Cader, Spoimie Nasiri, Eleonore Zwinges, Teresa Alonso-Bray, Silky Sahnan, Elisa Duarte, Rekha Tavva, Ana Villanueva, Caroline Dono-hue, Justin Skinner, Ildar Hafi zor, Sheryl Munoz-Bergman and Dannhae Herrera Wilson.

There were also others who volun-

teered their time for this event and we would like to give a special thanks to O’Hara Park Principal Roger Macdon-ald and the Oakley Union Elementary School District for allowing us to use O’Hara Park Middle School to host the drive and for helping us coordinate all the details behind the scenes, which al-lowed us to have an incredibly organized event. From the OUESD, we would like to thank Ed Zurawski, Mario Gutierrez, Leo Ibarra and Robert Gregory, who helped us make all the logistical arrange-ments necessary for the event.

We would also like to thank Liberty Adult Education and the Liberty Union High School District for coordinating with us in order to provide civics classes for the participants here in Oakley.

Food and beverages were donated for the volunteers by Los Panchos of Pleasant Hill and by Guzman Legal Firm from Concord. We would also like to thank the Starbucks located on Main Street in Oakley for offering a special deal on the coffee that helped fuel all the volunteers throughout the event.

With no doubt, this citizenship drive was truly a community event that brought together a diverse group of or-ganizations/institutions, volunteers, busi-nesses and, of course, applicants who are now on their way to becoming citizens of the U.S. and fully functional members of our community and civic life.

Heritage ace drafted by Chicago Cubs

Chiropractor adjusts to win open-water swim

Heritage High pitcher Paul Blackburn, the Bay Valley Athletic League baseball MVP, will head from the East Bay to the North Side.

Blackburn was drafted Monday night by the Chicago Cubs in the fi rst compensa-tion round. He was the 56th player selected overall and the fi rst-ever Heritage baseball player to be taken in the Major League Baseball Draft.

“It was pretty exciting,” Blackburn said. “The Cubs haven’t won in a long time, so if I decide to sign, then hopefully I can bring that to them.”

This season, Blackburn earned his sec-ond consecutive league MVP award. He went 10-3 with a 0.93 earned run average, striking out 100 and walking 18. Scouts like Blackburn’s fastball, which clocks in at about 92 miles per hour, and his poise.

“Paul possesses the attributes we look for in a HS right-handed pitcher in that he shows present command of three pitches with an effi cient delivery and clean mechan-ics,” Jason McLeod, Cubs vice president of Scouting and Player Development, wrote in an e-mail. “As with all HS pitchers, there will be a development path ahead of him

but we are confi dent that his work ethic and makeup will allow him to get the most of his abilities.”

As Blackburn has a full-ride scholar-ship from Arizona State on the table, he has

a big decision to make. The pitcher said he’s talking it over with his parents and isn’t sure which way he’s leaning.

He knew there was a chance he could go on the fi rst day of the draft, but the

second round more likely. He held a small viewing party at his house and celebrated with family and friends.

“When they called his name, it was just surreal,” said Patriots manager Kevin Brannan, who watched the draft with other Heritage coaches. “As long as he continues to physically get bigger and stronger, I really feel that he’s one of those kids that has the moxie or the guts to go through this.”

Blackburn is the highest BVAL draftee since Liberty pitcher Chris Gruler was tak-en third overall by the Cincinnati Reds in 2002.

The Patriot was not the only local to hear his name called. In the 20th round of the draft, Antioch alumnus Nick Pasquale was selected by the Cleveland Indians. Pasquale went 12-3 this season for the Diablo Valley College Vikings with a 1.88 ERA. Pasquale, who signed a letter of intent in November to attend North Carolina State, must also de-cide between college and the pros.

“(I’m) excited and overwhelmed with all kinds of emotions,” Pasquale told The Press on Twitter. “Thankful for the oppor-tunity.”

As a Panther, Pasquale earned fi rst-team all-league honors in 2009, his senior year. He struck out 68 batsmen that season.

When Discovery Bay chiropractor Rick Pierce fi nished the Bridge to Bridge Sunday, all he knew was that no one else was around, and the lead boat was fl oating beside him. Thirty seconds later and a judge looking him in the face, he discovered he had won the race.

“I didn’t know for sure,” Pierce said. “I had to ask him what place I got.”

The 6.2-mile race started at the south tower of the Golden Gate Bridge and ended at the Bay Bridge. Although the race is timed so the currents favor the swimmers, the competitors are forced to battle through rough conditions. “This is a swim where the competitor fi nds different temperatures and different choppy con-ditions during the race,” said Pedro Ordenes, American and World Coach Association swim director.

Pierce shook off the diffi cult surroundings, and about 20 other swimmers, to fi nish at 9 a.m. in 1:31:52.

The course and conditions were so challenging that competitors with limited swimming experience were forced to complete a trial course to ensure their safety.

For Pierce, the win was a culmination of hard work. For the past fi ve months, he swam up to three miles three times per week to condition himself for the

rough open-water swim in 55-degree water.But nothing could prepare him for what he en-

countered. Pierce said the currents fl ooding into the bay forced him to change his strategy.

To make matters more diffi cult, Sunday’s race was the longest of Pierce’s swimming career. In addition to the Bridge to Bridge, he has participated in eight 1.25-mile races.

Pierce didn’t know what to expect when he entered the race, but wanted to challenge himself while doing the best he could. With about a mile to go, however, he realized he was in position to win. “I was tired at the end,” Pierce said. “I felt like I was spinning my arms. I didn’t see very many swimmers around.”

Pierce needed every stroke to overtake the lead-ers and stay in front, according to Water World Swim coach Noelle Christensen. “The race was really amaz-ing,” she said. “He was not leading the race at fi rst, but he took a different angle, caught the leaders and went right past them.”

Christensen said it takes a special skill set to win open-water competitions, which require swimmers to battle stiff currents and swim when it feels like they’re going nowhere.

“It’s crazy that people actually do this for fun,” Christensen said. “To fi nish a swim like this is really sweet.”

SeaWolves ready for return to pool

The Brentwood SeaWolves Water Polo Club, which begins a new season on Monday, June 11, was founded in 2008 to teach and promote the sport of water polo to youth of all ages in Brent-wood and all of East County. The club strives to support and enhance the high school programs in the area. The Sea-Wolves are an age-group development program and a member of USA Water Polo.

The club’s goal is to create an en-vironment in which young athletes gain exposure to the game of water polo and develop their skills, making them more competitive at the high school and col-lege levels. They encourage good aca-demics, sportsmanship, healthy living, a drug-free environment and a disciplined

work ethic.This summer’s SeaWolves coach-

es are Chris Rose, Jack Doria, Logan Trudell, John Palazzotto and Rebecca Day, who will teach the fundamentals-oriented ODP (Olympic Development Program). The goal is to provide junior players a sound foundation and under-standing of the game, and prepare high school players for their upcoming sea-son. In addition to practices, the play-ers scrimmage against other teams from the area and participate in two weekend tournaments.

For additional information, go to the water polo tab at www.brentwood-seawolves.com or e-mail questions to info@brentwoodseawolves.com.

Brentwood trainer pushes it to the limit

It’s Monday evening and Brentwood residents Vivian Szeles, Thatiana Salinas and Lori Huchton are pushing a one-ton 1982 GMC Suburban behind the LA Boxing building.

The truck actually runs just fi ne.The trios’ exertions are part of a workout

routine led by local personal trainer Jose Gar-cia, who specializes in combat sport recovery, therapeutic recovery, mobile training and con-test preparation. He has worked with every-one from pre-teen kickboxers and mothers to mixed martial arts fi ghters and Ms. Olympia contestants.

Most famously, Garcia has served as physical therapist for MMA fi ghters Nick and Nate Diaz, working with Nick when the Stockton-based athlete took on renowned fi ghters BJ Penn and Paul Daley. Garcia has also trained triathletes.

But no matter how famous or obscure his clients are, Garcia treats them all with re-spect. “I’m so blessed because this is my pas-sion,” Garcia said. “I want to give everyone a chance to see what intensity is, and what re-covery’s about – the full package. Being able to build you mentally, break you down physi-cally and repair your recovery to become a mentally stronger person, physically stronger and a high-spirited person.”

His clients swear by his techniques. Mod-el and Brentwood resident Kasey Perry uti-

lized Garcia’s Body By Jose boot camp after injuring her back and neck in a car accident. She said she’s worked with other personal trainers, but none were as positively motivat-ing as Garcia.

Since starting the boot camp, Perry has dropped 15 pounds and three pant sizes. She’s now back in front of the camera. “I’ve met with a lot of trainers because of my profes-sion, and he’s by far the best,” Perry said. “He doesn’t take failure as an option. He pushes you and drives you.”

Garcia grew up in a rough neighborhood – Tondo, Manila in the Philippines – where he described his upbringing as “Spartan.” His

family moved to Oakland when Garcia was 10, and he excelled as a wrestler and football player in high school. But when as a senior he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in one of his knees, he was forced to re-evaluate his life.

“I wanted to learn more about the body and how to make it work,” Garcia said. “I didn’t think I’d be able to walk again.”

Garcia started taking nursing courses at Chabot College, intending to become a phy-sician one day, but found he enjoyed training with fellow football players more than school-ing. He got a job at a gym, where he found his niche.

After his brother, Joseph Garcia, suffered

from a defective heart valve and recovered from a coma, the siblings decided to go into business together. With fi nancial help from their mother, they opened up the LA Boxing franchise at Garin Ranch.

Now Jose Garcia works as a trainer at LA Boxing and Joseph handles the business side. Jose loves watching people change for the better as they go through his program.

As evidenced by the truck push, Garcia has come up with some innovative ways to promote exertion. He has also started train-ing via the video instant messaging system Skype. After initiating this program, Garcia’s clientele grew from the Bay Area to the world. Now he has clients in such far-fl ung places as Hong Kong, Sydney and Hawaii.

Garcia is in the process of branching out from Brentwood and working with clients throughout the Bay Area, bringing his brand of training to various gyms. He looks forward to working with all kinds of people, such as those who want to simply tone up and drop a few pounds, or others looking to sweat it out for a total body renovation.

Salinas tried working out at other gyms in the area, but didn’t fi nd the right fi t until she started training with Garcia at LA Boxing.

“He’s good if you want to see fast results – he will get you there,” Salinas said. “I lost 10 pounds and I’m more toned. I’m happy. I can’t see myself missing one day at the gym.”

eras.“From talking to people in the com-

munity, residents and parents, I don’t think there’s any doubt that the school is in dire need of renovation and repair,” Rocha said. “People are challenged with the economics of today, but at the same time education is challenged with seri-ous cuts that are happening, and there are really no funds that are available to renovate this old school.”

Despite the bond measure’s failure, school district Superintendent Donald Gill is looking on the bright side – that more than 50 percent of voters were in favor of helping the school. Gill and Rocha feel that the low turnout at the polls – roughly 31 percent of the coun-ty’s registered voters marked their bal-lot – defi nitely hurt Measure J’s chances. According to Rocha, when school rep-resentatives knocked on doors or called local voters, many of them were fully in favor of Measure J’s success.

Gill estimated that all the measure needed was 112 more votes. “It’s a great civics lesson for our community,” Gill said. “I think what happens in a situ-ation like that, when something’s very popular, people always think it’s going to pass and other people are going to vote for it.”

Far East County voters struck down both major tax initiatives before them. Measure S, which would have benefi ted the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District, garnered 44 percent of the vote. It needed a 67-percent ma-jority to pass.

Antioch voters also rejected two measures that aimed at changing city leadership. Measure M, which would have changed Antioch’s mayoralty from an elected to a rotating position among City Council members, failed soundly, drawing the opposition of 84 percent of voters.

Measure L, intended to make the city clerk and treasurer appointed in-stead of elected positions, was defeated 71 to 29 percent.

The next step for Antioch High School is for the district to determine if it wants to put the measure back on the November ballot or wait until 2014 to try again. Gill said he’ll discuss options with the school board.

Frazier gathered with friends, family and supporters at Humphrey’s in Antioch to watch the poll returns trickle in. After learning that his campaign will continue on to November, Frazier said all he could do was smile. He’s decided to take the rest of the week off to celebrate his daughter’s re-

cent graduation from UC Davis but plans to get back on the campaign trail Monday.

Campaigning un-der the slogan People Before Politics, Fra-zier’s goals are to encourage job creation, overhaul education and limit hikes in col-lege tuition, and protect the Delta, provid-ing water storage for droughts.

When Darrell Watkins asked wife Lynn where she wanted to go for her

65th birthday, she chose the Baha-mas because A) she’d never been there, and B) she’s always wanted to swim with the dolphins. So Dar-rell and Lynn hauled their luggage, including their Hometown Weekly Newspaper, to Atlantis, Paradise Island. As Lynn put it, “A tropi-cal island, sun, beautiful beaches, water slides, great drinks with my husband – after 45 years of mar-riage, what more could I ask for?” For the record, Lynn, the Brent-wood Press fully endorses your opinion.

For Dad: marvels from the Man Cave

“This is so much fun.

It’s like a toy store to

me,” said Man Cave

Consignment owner Dave Mengel

as he gestured enthusiastically to

the variety of wares that fi ll his

Brentwood store. The small retail space

that opened April 1 is loaded – fl oor to

ceiling, wall to wall – with surprising

steals Mengel has scored from garage

and estate sales plus consigners.

“Nothing in the store would be considered a need,” said Mengel. “It’s all a want.”

For a guy who runs a consignment store, Mengel oddly enough isn’t a collector himself, and hasn’t created a man cave of his own at home. “It’s part of the green way of thinking,” he said. “I never buy anything

new. I consider myself a ‘picker,’ meaning I go out and bring in inventory. I know what I need, and I know what things are worth. We’ve been slowly evolving and picking up things that people think are cool.”

Case in point: Oakley resident Val Valerio recently brought in an item for consignment and stopped in his tracks once he got a glimpse of a picture signed by Ted Williams and Mickey Mantle.

“As I was looking around,” said

Valerio, “I thought, ‘I cannot pass that up. I have to buy it!’”

Man Cave Consignment stocks an abundance of ideal Father’s Day gifts. Mengel invites gifters to skip the starched shirts and cutesy coffee mugs and take dad on a shopping safari he’ll actually enjoy. He’ll fi nd neon beer signs, a pre-1940s bamboo fl y rod and framed, signed sports memorabilia. Golf clubs. Vinyl music. Vintage camping equipment. Collectible

Hot Wheels. Giants paraphernalia. An Erector set from 1964. Lucchese single-quill, ostrich-skin cowboy boots. Jack Londonesque snowshoes. Exercise equipment. First-edition “Tarzan” novels by Edgar Rice Burrows. Baseball cards. Globes. Poker tables. Tools. Harley Davidson merchandise – for starters.

“All the stuff that comes in is original

ON THE COVER: Whether the dad in your life likes rock ‘n’ roll, baseball or beer, Man Cave Consignment owner Dave Mengel has something that will make him smile.

and exciting,” said Man Cave Consignment employee Randal Mori. “The days I don’t work, I’m eager to come back and see what’s new.”

Approximately 50 items arrive daily, so the inventory is constantly changing. The concept behind Man Cave Consignment is that folks bring in their stuff and it’s put up for sale “as is,” and the consigner and Man Cave split the revenue 50/50.

“I’m not looking for garage-sale leftovers; I’m looking for the things that people want to show off to their friends,” said Mengel. “The nicer the piece, the faster it sells.”

Man Cave Consignment displays an item for 90 days. If the item doesn’t sell, it gets returned to the owner or goes up for auction and sells to the highest bidder. (Mengel welcomes auction-only items as

well.)The initial Man Cave Consignment

auction premieres Sunday, July 8 from 5 to 7 p.m. Information regarding big-ticket items (priced at $500 and higher) will be published online for potential bidders. The outdoor event features a celebrity auctioneer plus food and beverages available for purchase. Depending on the success of the inaugural event, Mengel intends to hold an auction every month.

“Guys like a real eclectic mix of stuff,” said Mengel. “I have a little bit of everything that guys are going to get excited about.”

Man Cave Consignment, located at 3850 Balfour Road, Suite M in Brentwood, is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information, visit www.mancaveconsignment.net or call 925-420-5614.

Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, ex-press or implied, regarding title, pos-session, condition or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts cre-ated by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The to-tal amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $376,225.22. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any rea-son, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The benefi ciary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Elec-tion to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NO-TICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this prop-erty lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Plac-ing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the prop-erty. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the ex-istence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s offi ce or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this in-formation. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWN-ER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, benefi ciary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (619)590-1221 or visit the inter-net website www.rppsales.com, using the fi le number assigned to this case 1352287-10.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROP-ERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. Notice is hereby given that RECONTRUST COMPANY, N.A., as duly appointed trustee pursuant to the Deed of Trust executed by ANTONIO SALAS, JR., A SINGLE MAN, dated 04/21/2010 and recorded 4/27/2010, as Instrument No. 2010-0082685- 00, in Book , Page , of Offi cial Records in the offi ce of the County Recorder of Contra Costa County, State of California, will sell on 07/02/2012 at 10:00AM, At the Court Street entrance to the County Courthouse (corner of Main and Court Street), 725 Court Street Martinez, CA 94553 at public auction, to the highest bidder for cash or check as described below, payable in full at time of sale, all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust, in the property situated in said County and State and as more fully described in the above referenced Deed of Trust. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real prop-erty described above is purported to be: 224 HARBORAGE COURT, OAKLEY, CA, 94561. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrect-

ness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. The total amount of the unpaid balance with interest thereon of the obligation secured by the property to be sold plus reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $296,438.03. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. In addition to cash, the Trustee will ac-cept cashier’s checks drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specifi ed in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and autho-rized to do business in this state. Said sale will be made, in an ‘’AS IS’’ condi-tion, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, pos-session or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereunder, with inter-est as provided, and the unpaid princi-pal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should under-stand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on a property it-self. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a ju-nior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be respon-sible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstand-ing liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s offi ce or a title insurance company, ei-ther of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the prop-erty. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, benefi ciary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 1-800-281-8219 or visit this Internet Web site www.recontrustco.com, using the fi le number assigned to this case TS No. 12-0015771.

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding

at a Trustee auction. You will be bid-ding on a lien, not on the property itself.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be respon-sible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the ex-istence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s offi ce or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this in-formation. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Benefi ciary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call tele-phone number for information regard-ing the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Inter-net Web site address on the previous page for information regarding the sale of this property, using the fi le number assigned to this case, CA09003406-10-1. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be refl ected in the tele-phone information or on the Internet Web site.

A local slice of cheesecake heaven

The latest business to enjoy an offi cial ribbon-cutting welcome from the Brent-wood Chamber of Commerce might be one of the city’s cheesiest establishments – and that’s a good thing.

Last Friday, the chamber held a cere-mony to offi cially welcome locally owned business Heavenly Cheesecakes & More into the community. “Friends had been telling me to open up a shop for ages,” said co-owner Shellie Hirsch. “It’s only just now that I’ve fi nally accomplished that.”

As the new store’s recipes for the classic dessert contain no eggs and side-step many other traditional ingredients, Hirsch and co-owner Maria Martinek provide their customers with a one-of-a-kind product – a unique and creamy treat fi t for any occasion.

“I really love cheesecake, and when I tried this one, I knew it was a real origi-nal,” said Betty Gaughan, one of the many who attended Friday’s event. In addition to the cheesecakes, attendees enjoyed the chance to win dessert raffl e prizes.

While Hirsch’s unique cakes will

melt on any cheesecake lover’s tastebuds, she acknowledges that it took more than unique ingredients to get cooking. “It’s so much more than the recipe that got us here,” she said. “There was a lot of sup-port; a lot of people helped push us to do this.”

That support and inspiration stems largely from Hirsch and Martinek’s army-enlisted sons, who have inspired Heavenly Cheesecakes’ goal to give back to the America. Customers who support our military by wearing red on Fridays receive a discount, and a portion of proceeds from the sale of red velvet cheesecakes go directly to aid U.S. troops.

Heavenly Cheesecakes & More offer-ings include Pineapple Side-Up Cheese-cake, Caramel Pecan Cheesecake, Triple Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake, Zinfully Delicious Cheesecake, and dozens more. The store also offers gluten-free recip-ies plus an array of cupcakes and other baked yummies from Kianna Gendotti of Kiki’s Cupcakery at the same location.

Heavenly Cheesecakes & More, lo-cated at 3101 Balfour Road in Brent-wood, is open Mondays through Fridays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
