When the 2012 Brentwood Farmers’ Market opens next weekend, resident and self-described “committed herbivore” Tri-na Contreras will be ready and waiting.

“I’ll be there with bells on, with my canvas tote bag in hand and a big smile on my face,” said Contreras. “I miss the pro-duce, the farmers, the crowds – all of it. Going to the Farmers’ Market is the high-light of my week just about every week.”

One of four East County markets run by the Pacifi c Coast Farmers’ Market As-

sociation, Brentwood’s is the fi rst to open, largely to treat shoppers to a few more weeks of the asparagus season. Accord-ing to Regional Manager Greg Pursley, depending on what’s in season any given week, offerings from 70 vendors will be found at this year’s market at one time or another.

Pursley believes the increased popu-larity of farmers’ markets in recent years is partly an outgrowth of our desire to know more about what we eat.

“It’s a combination of being aware of where your food is coming from, and the quality,” Pursley said. “Some things

might be a little cheaper at the grocery store because of the volume they do, Pursley said. “But go taste that Safeway peach and then one from Moffat Ranch, and you can really taste the difference.”

After spending most of last summer a couple of blocks away due to construction, the market returns to its home on First Street between Oak and Chestnut streets in front of the Delta Cinema. Pursley encour-ages shoppers to check out the merchants and restaurants, too: “We also want the downtown merchants to do well.”

The Brentwood Farmers’ Market will be open from 8 a.m. to noon every Satur-

day between March 31 and Nov. 17, and attendance is free.

Other nearby PCFMA markets include:• Antioch Farmers’ Market at Somersville Towne Center – open Sundays from May 13 to Sept. 30, 9 a.m. to noon.• Kaiser Permanente Antioch Farmers’ Market – open Thursdays from April 19 to Oct. 25, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.• Pittsburg Farmers’ Market – open Satur-days from May 5 to Oct. 27, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The market takes place in Old Town Plaza at Sixth Street and Railroad Avenue.

The California Court of Appeal has sided with a utility watchdog group and sus-pended construction of the Oakley Generat-ing Station.

Last week, the First District Court of Appeal in San Francisco sided with The Utility Reform Network (TURN), reversing the California Public Utilities Commission’s (CPUC) 2010 decision allowing PG&E to purchase a California Energy Commission (CEC) approved 22-acre power plant on Bridgehead Road from Radback Energy Inc.

The CPUC initially denied the applica-

tion in August of 2010, conceding that the plant – a natural-gas-fi red, combined-cycle electrical generating station – would be a quality, energy-effi cient facility, but that the current economic recession made new Cali-fornia PG&E projects unnecessary. It reversed its decision in a December, 2010 appeal when PG&E said the project would go online in 2016 rather than 2014.

In its March 16 ruling, the California Court of Appeal decided that the CPUC’s rush to overturn its initial ruling was not han-dled properly and therefore the CPUC’s fi nal ruling is invalid. The court said the CPUC failed to allow enough time for public com-ment during the 2010 appeal: “This apparent

attempt to minimize public input lends fur-ther credence to TURN’s contention that the Commission had become so enamored of the project, it was willing to dispense with the pro-cedural safeguards established by its rules and the statutes in order to achieve its preferred outcome.”

Oakley Mayor Kevin Romick said the appeal court’s ruling is unfortunate, but he re-mains optimistic about the future of the pow-er plant. “The power plant is very important for Oakley. We’re hopeful that the procedural errors that the court cited as its reason to set aside the CPUC  decision  can be corrected and plant can still be built. We’ll know more within the next two or three weeks.”

The City of Oakley entered into a com-munity benefi ts package with Radback En-ergy, Inc. in March of 2010. Radback offi cials pledged to contribute approximately $6 mil-lion to establish a community grant program for local nonprofi t organizations and fund city capital improvement projects. But if the project doesn’t get off the ground, the city loses out on the fringe benefi ts of the plant’s construction.

Representatives from the CPUC, PG&E, CEC, Radback and the City of Oakley gath-ered last summer for the offi cial groundbreak-ing of the plant. The plant’s construction was predicted to bring in 730 union jobs.

The Knightsen Garden Club has been serving the community for 76 years, but the facility the club calls home is a centenarian, and it’s showing its age.

The club and the other local groups that utilize the Knightsen Garden Club’s clubhouse at 3067 Knightsen Ave. have been battling a leaky roof, and now the garden club’s members are going on the offense, hosting fundraisers to secure the money needed to repair the roof. The project is estimated to cost $10,000.

The clubhouse is important to the entire community. The Knightsen Town Advisory Council, Knightsen Communi-ty Services District, 4-H and the Knight-sen Firefi ghters Association host meet-ings there, and the Delta Community Christian Food Bank uses the building weekly for food distribution to the needy.

Built in 1904, the original clubhouse was a two-story general store owned by Henry W. Heidorn, son of Christian Heidorn, one of Knightsen’s earliest pioneers. Henry was instrumental in the development of Knightsen in the early 20th century. He served as postmaster, justice of the peace, Knightsen school board member, and helped organize the Knightsen Irrigation District. He was also a farmer.

The building was passed down

through the generations until 1965, when Irene Hamilton left the historic building to the Knightsen Garden Club in her will.

The Knightsen Garden Club is more than a group of garden enthusiasts. Since its formation in 1936, the club has been a source of community pride. Initially the

club was open only to women, but to-day it boasts a membership of men and women. The club hosts community fun-draisers and is heavily involved with the Knightsen Elementary School District.

The club meets the fi rst Monday of the month at 7 p.m. Annual membership

is $15, and the only prerequisite is that members have an interest in the Knight-sen community.

For more information about the club or to make a donation to the roof repair project, call Pat Bello at 925-625-3553 or Carolyn Sherfy at 925-516-7798.

Credit Card debt levels have hit an all-time high, and it looks like consumers will borrow even more in the future. In an attempt to manage this debt, many people pay thousands of dollars to debt settlement companies. Their advertisements are enticing: they promise lower monthly payments, reduced collection calls and unharmed credit scores, all without bankruptcy. Sounds good, right? Not so fast. Before you entrust your fi nancial well-being to a stranger with a P.O. Box address and a “1-800” number, consider some of the potential risks: 1. They often charge substantial upfront fees (around 15% of your settlement), plus a monthly fee, whether or not they are successful.2. You can expect to make monthly deposits into an escrow account. Only after the balance in this account reaches a certain level, will they attempt a settlement. This can take up to 6 months, forcing you to incur even more interest and penalties with your lender. 3. If they successfully settle a debt, your lender will fi le a 1099-C for “Cancelled Debt” of $600 or greater with the IRS. This may translate into additional income taxes.4. On your credit report, the settlement activity will appear as “settled debt” rather than “paid in full,” which will negatively impact your credit score.5. Many lenders refuse to work with debt settlement companies and most continue to

aggressively pursue collection. Consumers are often shocked when, after hiring a debt settlement company and making timely monthly payments, they receive a summons for a credit card lawsuit. This can happen because the settlement company will not negotiate until its up-front fee is paid. As a result, precious time and money are wasted, and then the lender fi les a lawsuit anyway.

Many of my clients have had very poor experiences with debt settlement companies. While a Bankruptcy may more negatively impact your credit score, you can avoid the stress of a lawsuit and typically get rid of all or nearly all of your credit card debt at once.

As a general rule, borrowers with less than $15,000 in credit card debt should consider settling their own debts. Borrowers with more than $15,000 in credit card debt should consult with a Bankruptcy attorney. In any event, only fi le for Bankruptcy if you have no other viable options. I am a Bankruptcy attorney and I offer free consultations in Antioch.

Nineteenth-century artist Henry Wadsworth Longhorn said music is the universal language of mankind.

Music might be a common bond that transcends culture, but the war to save music in local schools rages on, as Cali-fornia school districts make cuts to per-forming arts programs to keep academic programs on track. To help alleviate that problem at the high school level, local Ro-tary clubs are banding together to host a fundraiser to support music programs at Antioch, Deer Valley, Freedom, Heritage, Liberty and Pittsburg high schools.

The Battle of the Bands and Choir Competition is scheduled for Saturday, May 5 at Deer Valley High, 4700 Lone Tree Way in Antioch. Bands will take the stage at 10 a.m. and choirs will bat-tle at noon. The competition will feature

performances by each high school’s jazz band as well as local youth rock ’n’ roll and worship bands. The choir competi-tion will feature performances by school choirs and community church choirs.

“Music is very important,” said event organizer Richard McDaniel. “Rotary’s motto is service about self, and this is an idea that all of the local Rotary clubs got behind to save music in our schools.”

The music will continue through-out the day and come to an exciting end as Stevie Keys of Tower of Power fame takes the stage for a 90-minute set. Tick-ets are $20 in advance and $30 at the gate. Attendees will get a wristband that guar-antees in-and-out privileges so they can come and go at their leisure. Food and drinks will be available for purchase.

Tickets are available through the high school music departments. For more information, call McDaniel at 925-998-1764.

Lovers of poetry are invited to help celebrate Poetry Month at Open Mic, held Thursday, April 12 at 6:30 p.m. in Cap’s Oak Street Bar & Grill  in down-town Brentwood.

All short work – poetry, short story, nonfi ction or any other creative work – is welcome. Participants are allowed fi ve minutes to perform. Work on any subject is encouraged – original or that of anoth-er writer – as long as it’s neither insulting nor abusive. All are invited, whether per-

forming or listening and enjoying.This event is free, but attendees

are encouraged to support Cap’s with a purchase of food and drink. Hosted by Brentwood Poet Laureate Kati Short, Open Mic is presented by Brentwood Writes, an adjunct of the Brentwood Art Society, and the Brentwood Community Library. Cap’s is located at 144 Oak St.

UNUSED FINANCIAL HELPI’ve written about www.KeepYour

HomeCalifornia.com a couple of times, but looks like I’ll need to do it one more time... The US Treasury came out with the “Hardest Hit Fund” a few years ago to help those states hit the hardest by the mortgage crisis. They earmarked almost $2 billion for California. As of the end of last year only about $40 million had been spent helping California homeowners. That means that less than 5,000 California homeowners have received any help under this program.

70% of Keep Your Home California funds are to be used to help unemployed borrowers stay current on their payments, or to helping working homeowners who are struggling to catch up on missed pay-ments. The remaining 30% of the funds is for principal reductions and relocation costs to move to a new home.

One of the main reason for the lack of success is that at first many lenders weren’t participating, but more are on board now. So if you tried in the past, try again and

see if your lender is now involved. And of course, it could also be that Keep Your Home California is a government bureau-cracy, so they tend to move pretty slowly. But I think the biggest reason is lack of awareness with homeowners. It seems like there is always a new “New Program of the Week” with some new acronym and fine print a mile long.

I have heard from people who say they called Keep Your Home California and didn’t qualify for whatever reason. BUT I’ve also had people call me and report they ARE getting some benefits from it. So check out their website at www.KeepYourHomeCalifornia.com, or call them at 888-954-5337. They are open 7 am to 7 pm weekdays and 9 am to 3 pm Saturdays.

In response to an increase in burglar-ies across far East County, Brentwood police are reminding residents to take common-sense steps to assure that their property remains theirs.

“Close your garage door, lock up your house, don’t leave you computer in the car overnight,” said Brentwood Police Lt. Tom Hansen. “Sometimes (thieves) walk down the street at night with a fl ashlight, looking into cars. If there isn’t something easy to grab, they’ll move on to the next car.”

In addition to protecting property better, one of the most important ways residents can fi ght crime is to stay vigilant and report to the police anything unusual or suspicious.

“Most of all, we need the community to be aware that they aren’t bothering us when they call,” Hansen said. “We want people to call. We might get lucky once in

a while and spot someone suspicious com-ing out of a backyard, but a lot of times it’s tips from neighbors. We need those 53,000 sets of (residents’) eyeballs to help us.”

Hansen said to be wary of people posing as solicitors – potential thieves who knock on your door simply to see if you’re home. Legitimate businesses must have a City of Brentwood business li-cense, Hanson said, and police can issue citations to violators – as well as record identities that could be useful investigat-ing a crime that’s discovered later.

After a drop in property crime in 2009, the number in 2010 returned to the fi ve-year historical average of about 1,150, or 2.2 crimes per 1,000 population. The 2012 Police Benchmarks Report, which tracks the performance of the department in key categories, will be delivered to the City Council in the next few weeks.

“Our goal is to make it so Brentwood is not a target for criminals,” Hansen said. “If the community works together, they can help make the numbers go down.”

Jennifer Ann Tipton-FelicianoMay 12, 1971-March 13, 2012

Jennifer Ann Tipton-Feliciano, loving wife, mother, daughter and sis-ter, passed away suddenly at the young age of 40 on March 13, 2012.

Jenny was born to David and San-dra Tipton on May 12, 1971 in Walnut Creek. Her family moved to Byron  in 1972 when Jenny was just 15 months old.  Jenny graduated from  Liber-ty Union High School in 1989.

Her love for animals led her to a ca-reer as a veterinary technician at Con-tra  Costa  Emergency  Animal  Hospi-tal  for more than 22 years.  She often took her work home with her, as her house was fi lled with animals in need of a loving home.  She was especially close with her Shih Tzu dog Katie, who was always by her side.

Jenny also loved traveling, music, reading, snowmobiling and especially boating on the Delta.

Jennifer Ann Tipton-Feliciano is survived by her husband, Eugene Feli-ciano, and daughter, Brittany of Brent-

wood; son, Cameron, and grandson, Nathan of Pennsylvania; mother, San-dra Tipton of Brentwood; sister, Car-rie Burke of Redding, Calif.; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and neph-ews. She was predeceased by her father, David Tipton of Brentwood.

It is with great sadness that her family and many friends say good-bye. Viewing will be held Friday, March 23 from 5 to 8 p.m. at Brentwood Fu-neral Home. A celebration of life will be held at  Byron  United  Method-ist Church on Saturday, March 24 at 11 a.m., followed by a reception.

When Tim Combs grows up, he hopes to become a college music profes-sor. Tim’s piano teacher Barbara Schnei-der – already a grownup – says her stu-dent is well on his way to reaching that goal and believes there’s little the talented 17-year-old can’t accomplish.

“Tim is one of those wonderful peo-ple – an outstanding young man,” said Schneider, president of the Delta branch of the Music Teachers Association of California (MTAC). “I’ve had him as my student for nearly 10 years and I’ve heard him play it all, from sonnets to compli-cated pieces. He’s always had an interest in music.”

Combs excels at Beethoven and Men-delssohn, but when he plugs in the iPod, it’s strictly rock ’n’ roll.

“I perform the classics and listen to the classics,” laughed Tim, who plays piano. “They’re just different kinds of classics.”

And such differentiation is integral to the MTAC. Established in 1983, the Delta branch of the independent organi-zation provides assistance and opportuni-ties for teachers and students of music in Antioch, Brentwood, Concord, Discov-ery Bay, Oakley, Pittsburg and surround-ing areas. Created for music lovers of all ages, talents and aspirations, the MTAC provides one more option and extracur-

ricular activity for students looking to en-hance their musical experiences.

“The purpose of the Delta group is the promotion of musical culture and the pursuit of excellence in the fi eld of mu-sic,” said Theresa Cannizzaro, a Discov-ery Bay resident and board member of the Delta MTAC.

Founded in 1897, today’s MTAC boasts more than 60 branches statewide offering a variety of programs. The popu-lar Certifi cate of Merit program, for ex-ample, tests students of piano, woodwind

and string instruments in a number of ar-eas, including music theory, ear training, music history, technique, sight-reading and performance.

This year, 15 Delta branch students participated in the extensive competition – including Tim who received his senior medallion for high scores.

“They all did really well this year,” said Cannizzaro, who has been teach-ing piano for more than 15 years. “I feel very privileged to do this. To watch the students grow and progress is wonder-

ful thing. We have an amazing group of teachers who have dedicated themselves to providing opportunities for students to explore their musical potential, to expand their knowledge and appreciation of mu-sic and develop their technical skills and abilities.”

And play – in more than a musical sense.

“It’s defi nitely a social thing,” said Tim, a student at Los Medanos College. “It’s been really cool because I have met so many teachers and students who all have shared interests and stuff.”

And while some will go on to careers in the music world, others will not. Giv-ing students the option to enjoy music for music’s sake while garnering knowledge along the way is the driving mission of the MTAC.

“Not every student will go on to ma-jor in music, although some certainly will,” said Cannizzaro. “But the program teaches them so many other things aside from be-ing able to play the piano and download music on the Internet and play it. It also teaches them about time management, commitment, setting goals and working toward them. It’s not always fun, but the results are something they can always be proud of. It’s a wonderful program.”

On Saturday, March 31 and Sunday, April 1, the Contra Costa Chamber Or-chestra will present a mix of New York’s 1920s nightclub soundtracks and Eu-rope’s sophisticated classical music scene.

Composer Darius Milhaud heard jazz for the fi rst time in London, then in New York in 1922. By then, he was ob-sessed with the new genre. In the words of Leonard Bernstein, Milhaud’s “La Creation du Monde” is “not a fl irtation, but a real love affair with jazz.”

The evening’s program, entitled “Transgenre,” will also include three oth-er “love affairs”: “An American in Paris” by George Gershwin, “For Aaron” by Lukas Foss, and “Piano Concerto No. 1 in G” by Maurice Ravel, featuring inter-nationally renowned pianist Lino Rivera.

Noted Bay Area composer and mu-sic historian Dr. Robert Greenberg de-

scribes Rivera as “a great, and I would add, fearless, performer. He regularly performs pieces that very few other pia-nists would be willing to touch … with all the skill and grace of a great storyteller.” Rivera is currently a professor of music at Saint Mary’s College.

Conductor Timothy Smith’s intro-duction to each piece will provide fasci-nating insights into the composers’ lives and work.

Saturday’s performance is held at 7:30 p.m. in the Los Medanos College Recital Hall, 2700 E. Leland Road in Pittsburg. Tickets, available at the door are $5 and $10. Sunday’s performance is held at 7:30 p.m. in the Lesher Center for the Arts, 1601 Civic Drive in Walnut Creek. Tickets are $10 in advance; $30 at the door. Call 925-943-7469 or visit www.lesherartscenter.org.

It’s the time of year when members of the Brentwood Advisory Neighbor-hood Committee, also known as BANC, begin looking for the city’s most out-standing front yards for the committee’s Home of the Month program.

Beginning in April, one home in Brentwood will be named Home of

the Month. BANC members consider homes exhibiting creative and beautiful landscaping as well as overall curb ap-peal. Members meet monthly to travel to the winning home and present the winner with the award: a yard sign sig-nifying their winning status, a gift bas-ket and a parking pass for The Home

Depot.While BANC members always keep

an eye peeled for winning homes, any-one can nominate a home for consider-ation by visiting the city’s website, www.brentwoodca.gov, and clicking on the link for BANC.

The committee is also seeking busi-

nesses wishing to donate prizes. To do-nate or inquire about the Home of the Month program, e-mail [email protected]. BANC, which is currently accepting new members, meets the sec-ond Wednesday of the month at 6 p.m. in the Brentwood Community Center, 35 Oak St.

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage MattersBy Trevor Frey

Insurance

– Advertisement

When I hear that word, the fi rst two types that come to mind are homeowners insurance and mortgage insurance. Now that could be because I’m in the mortgage industry, so for arguments sake we’ll throw in car insurance, life insurance, and pet insurance, but for articles sake we’ll stick with the fi rst two.

Homeowners insurance, otherwise known as Hazard insurance, covers a homeowner’s home and any damage that might possibly be done to their home and/or the people inside of it. Th e rates for homeowner’s insurance diff er depending on the condition on the home – age, alarm system, automatic sprinklers, single story, etc. – and can be shopped around by the homeowner. Policies can vary and addi-tional coverage such as fl ood or earthquake can be added as the owner sees fi t to ensure both their families safety and peace of mind. Overall, homeowners insurance is in place with the home owner’s best interests in mind and although we might not like always paying the premium, it is better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it.

Mortgage insurance on the other hand, is a completely diff erent animal and only in place to protect the bank. Re-gardless of the homes age, condition, or location, if you don’t put 20% down on a home you’ll be paying mortgage insurance. Unlike homeowners insurance, you cannot shop mortgage insurance and for the most part every homeowner that doesn’t put

20% down on their home will receive the same coverage, at the same cost, regard-less. Mortgage insurance is not setup or intended to protect the homeowner; it is in place for one purpose – to protect the bank in the event that you default on your payments.

However, the largest diff erence between homeowners insurance and mortgage insurance isn’t the cost of the premium or who it protects; it is the federal taxwrite off allowed for one and not the other! Originally created as part of the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006, the federal tax write off allowed for mortgage insurance has been extended through 2012. Many homeowners do not know about this credit and as such do not take advantage of it. Th is is a true shame as according to the Mortgage Insurance Companies of America, or MICA, the annual savings for those claiming this write off ranges between $300-$350.

Th at said, please keep in mind that I am a licensed mortgage loan originator (MLO), and not a tax preparer, Enrolled Agent, or CPA. As such, please consult with your tax preparer on this subject to ensure you’re able to take full advantage of this write off on your 2011 Federal tax return.

If you have any real estate lending related questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to write me at [email protected] or call me directly on my cell phone, (925) 726-1444.

and opening of the new fi re station and the addition of canine offi cer Oleg to the Oakley Police Department.

During the April 24 meeting, attend-ees will break into small groups to discuss issues of importance and concern they’d like the city to focus on during the 2012-14 cycle. City staff members will facilitate discussions and gather feedback, which will be compiled into a report to be pre-sented to the council this summer. The city hopes to gain feedback regarding recreation opportunities, planned quality growth and community outreach.

Last month, the city sent out surveys to 500 residents. Of the 128 who respond-ed, 15 percent said they were dissatisfi ed with the city’s community outreach, so the strategic planning meeting is the city’s fi rst big step to invite more community in-volvement.

“This decision (to reschedule the meeting) demonstrates the city’s commit-ment to do more outreach and encourage public input and participation,” said Nan-cy Marquez, assistant to the city manager.

The survey also provided city staff with an idea of how the public feels about the city in general. More than half of the survey’s respondents believe Oakley is headed in the right direction. According to the survey, residents consider Oakley an attractive place to live because it’s a small, quiet community with reasonable home prices and an agreeable climate. Twenty-seven percent of respondents be-lieve Oakley is an “excellent” place to live while 53 percent said Oakley is a “good” city to live in.

For more information about the stra-tegic planning meeting, call Marquez at 925-625-7007.

“It’s been building up, and we were talk-ing and discussing it among ourselves,” Dio-kno said. “The kids who have attended in the past have enjoyed themselves. We have very

little dropoff from morning to the end.”The summit will also host several fun ac-

tivities, including a K-9 demonstration by the Pittsburg Police Department, a dance perfor-mance from the Dancin’ Diamonds, airbrush tattoos, a karate demonstration, free mani-cures and pedicures as well as a three-on-three basketball tournament. Lunch and breakfast will also be provided for free.

“There’s a lot of useful information for young people, presented in a non-threatening way,” Glover wrote in a press release. “Besides, it is a lot of fun.”

Some of the book’s subjects are chal-lenges. Day 33, “Think No Evil,” urges us to say something nice about those who are objects of gossip. Day 42 tells readers to “refl ect on the worst thing that happened in your life and then list three good things that resulted from that negative incident.” In Huntington’s formulation, “The happi-est people are not those who have no prob-lems, but are those who have encountered diffi culties and even tragedies and have overcome them.”

Though Huntington states in the fore-word that readers can consider God to be whatever higher power or personifi cation of the universe they prefer, the author con-veys a deep level of spirituality throughout his book. Readers who fi nd passages that rankle them can practice Day 35’s chal-lenge: “Read a book by some author or on some topic that you disagree with most.”

Though Huntington’s book some-times carries the tone of one who has ar-rived, he makes a point of reassuring the reader that his new life didn’t come about by magic, but by daily application of the steps described in the book. He asserts that he’s still a work in progress, and that trans-forming our lives is a perpetual and often diffi cult journey – but worth it. “Engage completely, to the extent that you can,” writes Huntington. “That’s how you have a fulfi lled life.”

Happy from page 5A

It’s never a good sign when the phone rings at 11 p.m. You jump out of bed and answer the phone with a frantic “What’s wrong?!”

Last week my mom was not her usual quick-witted and bright self. She

seemed confused and disoriented. Con-cerned and not know-ing what was wrong, I wanted to make sure she ate a good lunch, got some fresh air and got some orange juice in her in case her blood sugar was low.

When our phone rang at 11:05 p.m. it was to let us know

she had fallen and had a “goose egg” on her forehead. Turned out she had a UTI, or urinary tract infection. It made her foggy, she lost her balance and took a tumble. I’m grateful she didn’t break anything, but she got a colorful shiner when she bumped her head on the way to the fl oor. She kept saying, “You should see the other guy!”

The fall was not a good thing but it did result in a visit to the emergency room. The doctor administered every test imagin-able and found that her dizziness (and glazed donut forehead) was the result of a UTI that could have developed into some-thing worse if not diagnosed so soon.

UTIs are a common infection that affect women more than men and are treated by antibiotics, which usually stop the infection when it’s caught early. UTIs that go untreated and make their way into the blood stream can become septic. They can also spread to the kidneys and cause a lot of pain and illness.

Sepsis (blood poisoning) can wreak havoc on the system – and can be deadly. The urinary tract runs from your kidneys through the ureters, the bladder and out through the urethra.

A low UTI doesn’t affect the kidneys and is easily treated. The symptoms can include a low-grade fever, chills, confu-

sion and disorientation. If you or a loved one show any of these signs, get checked out right away. UTIs are common in seniors. Statistics show many women get one or more in their lifetime as they age.

We were lucky that Mom’s UTI was caught early. After a 10-day regimen of antibiotics, she’s back to her normal happy self. She has, however, sworn off of kickboxing and ultimate fi ghting lessons!

LETTERS TO THE EDITORish about? Was he trying to say that the Catholic Church’s position in a pluralistic society should always trump everyone else? Is he trying to prove what people feared before a Catholic president, John F. Kennedy, was elected – that the Church demands its moral perspective prevail over everyone else?

There are many things in a demo-cratic society that we sometimes must accept. For instance, I was totally against the war in Iraq for moral rea-sons based on my faith. Should I be ex-empt from paying income taxes because my taxes help support that effort? In a pluralistic society do we not all have to give and take? If we do not, we will have anarchy and civil war.

It is not clear from Mr. Horan’s let-ter what he or the U.S. Catholic bishops are trying to achieve – religious exemp-tion, the banning of artifi cial birth con-trol, a war on women’s health issues or an issue to help the Republican cause. They may want to think it through, or they endanger their tax-exempt status. If they want to get political, maybe the Church should pay taxes.

In addition, what makes Mr. Horan or the bishops think they have a large constituency that would make anyone pay attention? The awkward fact is that over 90 percent of Catholics use birth control. What makes these celibates think they can dictate to everyone else when they cannot get their own fl ocks to follow? It would seem that the laity have not received their teaching – might be time to move on to the next issue and take the administration’s compromise.

We all have to give and take in a pluralistic society. That includes the Church. We must continue to build on what we hold in common and allow for legitimate differences. However, my re-ligious faith should not trump everyone else. How then could democracy work? If the bishops want to totally limit ac-cess to birth control, then they are going to have to convince the whole society and not hide behind some canard of religious liberty.

A powerful ‘Every 15’Editor:

As we enter the high school prom/graduation season, there is much excite-ment and many celebrations planned to mark these occasions. What better time to bring home the dangers of drunk driving to our high school students? This is exactly what happened on March 8 and 9 at Liberty High School, which partnered with the Brentwood Police Department and many of our communi-ty and county services with the amazing Every 15 Minutes program.

If you haven’t heard about this powerful program, many agencies work with Liberty High School to stage a crash scene caused by a student drunk driver. Three crash scene students die, either at the scene or later at the hospi-tal or in the ambulance. An additional 22 students “die” throughout the day (representing every 15 minutes someone dies from a drunk driver). Many agen-cies go to great lengths to make this as real as possible, including our Brent-wood police and fi re departments, and John Muir Hospital personnel, includ-ing the Life Flight crew.

The following day, a “funeral” takes place for these students at the school, where the entire junior and senior class attend.

Now, I was a skeptic about the power of this. I wondered: doesn’t everyone know that this is fake? How-ever, something amazing happens; logic goes out the window and it feels incredibly real to those involved. And the hundreds of students who attended the “funeral “ were as quiet and still as I have ever seen them, with the exception of quiet crying.

I believe that our students will think twice before getting behind the wheel if they have been drinking as a result of this powerful program. Although the list

of people to thank is long, I would like to begin by personally thanking Offi cer Chris Pert (Brentwood Police Depart-ment), who was the lead on this; and Justin Luo (traffi c safety offi cer); Jessica Perry (community service offi cer); Mary Jean Holden (Brentwood PD); Matt LaFleur (Liberty assistant principal); and Kellie Callahan (Liberty Class of 2012 advisor) for their dedication to the success of this program.

I also think that we live in an amazing community that continues to support this program, including the following organizations that generously donated their time and money:

Brentwood Police Department, California Highway Patrol, East Contra Costa Fire Department, American Med-ical Response, John Muir Health Foun-dation, Arrowhead 24 Hour Towing and Recovery, Brentwood Café, the City of Brentwood, Calstar, OTS, New Mecca Café, American Legion Riders, Safeway, Brentwood Funeral Home, Ribbons & Roses, Brentwood PD chaplains, Contra Costa County Sheriff ’s Offi ce chaplains, Brentwood PAL, Brentwood Police Of-fi cers Association, Nicole La Freniere, Noreen Romo, Wendy Reynolds, and the Liberty High School administration.

I hope that we continue to offer this program to our community’s high school students, and that the community continues to support these agencies and businesses. Thank you to all involved.

We would like to give a special thank-you to some of our local Brent-wood that helped make this a great night: Cold Stone Creamery, Rave Movie Theater, Baskin-Robbins, Har-vest Park Bowl, Spoiled Rotten Spalon, Red Robin, Grazie, Unos and Diane Springer, Ashman Distributor.

We also cannot forget to give a special thank-you to all of our wonder-ful Wee Care families, members of the Resurrection Ministries Church and the Wee Care Staff. We could not have done this without you.

No democracy without votingEditor:

Election time is coming up rapidly this year. We should ensure that all vot-ers know the importance of voting and help them make an educated vote.

Voting gives you a voice in being able to help make a positive change. Each and every policy affects every citizen. It’s our job to try and turn the world into a better place for the next generations.

We should understand the direction our country is going in. There are many critical issues that are at hand currently. Even though these issues might not af-fect you right now, later down the road these issues will affect you. Your vote shows a message about the issues you think are important.

The government represents the people and it is employed by the people. Every vote makes a difference, by hold-ing our national leaders responsible for the decisions they make. Your vote demonstrates our rights as free citizens to elect our government and take part in a democracy. There is no democracy without voting.

During campaign time it’s easy to get caught up in all the promises the candidates are making, but when you make an educated vote you feel more confi dent in your choice and candidate. Voters should look at both sides. Make sure the pros and cons are examined carefully. Voters should decide which mission statements support their views. It’s extremely important to understand what your candidates stand for. They are your voice.

Community helps wrestler go cross-country

Kyle Clark’s wrestling skills earned him a spot on the roster in Antioch, a championship at the section tourna-ment in Newark and a bronze medal at the state meet in Bakersfi eld.

Now, the East County community is helping the Pan-thers senior get to the National High School Wrestling Championship in Virginia Beach, Va.

Clark punched a ticket to Nationals – March 29 through April 1 – with his third-place fi nish at the Califor-nia Interscholastic Federation meet, but he wasn’t sure if he could afford the cross-country trek.

The 220-pound grappler has been doing all he can, selling Jamba Juice at school and doing all types of fund-raising. Clark is one of the few Bay Valley Athletic League wrestlers in recent memory to qualify for Nationals. No one from Antioch advanced that far since 2005, when Dominic Mutulo placed fourth in the 145-pound bracket at state.

“I was confi dent he was going to do it in the begin-ning of the year,” Panthers head coach Ben McCorriston said. “I was excited-slash-worried because of the amount of money that we have to raise.”

McCorriston said Clark is going for sure, as the coach has already put a signifi cant amount of travel expenses on his credit card.

Several others have stepped up to help Clark out. The Red Caboose restaurant in Antioch hosted a spaghetti fundraiser Wednesday. On Monday from 5 to 9 p.m., the Straw Hat Pizza on 3001 Delta Fair Blvd. in Antioch will donate 25 percent of its proceeds to the wrestler’s efforts.

The Red Caboose owner Sheila White heard about

Clark from McCorriston, who dines at the restaurant. She also found out that Clark’s grandmother is a close fam-ily friend. “We have a chance to send this kid to Nation-als,” Clark said, “and then have coaches look at him and change his life.”

The wrestling community has also pitched in to help out one of its own. The Delta Wrestling Club, which serves as a feeder academy for BVAL rival Liberty High,

Heritage runners aim to pace track pack

While it would be impossible for Heri-tage to improve on its 2011 track-and-fi eld record in the Bay Valley Athletic League, the recent Marsh Creek Invitational showed that the Patriots are well on their way to a repeat performance.

Held at Freedom High School, the meet brought all BVAL schools together for an early season showdown.

The Patriots topped all competitors in all three competitions, sending a message to the league that Heritage will be a force again this year. Junior Noah Peña (3200 meters), senior Miguel Aguiar (400 meters), sophomore Frank Kurtz (200 meters), and sophomore Sydney Berry (long jump) were Heritage’s individual winners in the varsity events.

But the Patriots’ relays were also strong. The team of Isaac Obodo, Blaine Spencer, Shelton Wynder and Jan Robles won the 4x400 relay in the freshman/sophomore di-vision. Joining them was the 4x100 team of Aguiar, Kurtz, juniors D’Maree’ Lewis and Carter Blaise, the 4x400 team of Aguiar,

Kurtz, senior Zachary Lim and junior Obin-naya Ihenacho, as well as the medley relay team of juniors Jason Brown and Robert Renteria, Lim and freshman Jacob Drees.

Kurtz also performed notably in the 100-meter race. His 10.93 was second to Freedom’s Darrell Daniels, whose time of 10.86 was one of the top 15 in the state of California this year.Freedom

The Falcons fi eld one of the top groups of male sprinters in the area. Daniels spear-heads a group that includes senior Adrian Perez and sophomore Joe Mixon. The girls’ speciality, on the other hand, is distance run-ning – they won the league’s cross country championships. That group, along with a potentially strong group of young sleepers gives head coach Glenn Briggs reason to be optimistic.

“I’m really excited about them,” Briggs said. “I have high expectations for them and hope they realize what potential they have. They have to put the work in, which is a holdup sometimes.”

Wolverines seek sixth straight titleIf Bay Valley Athletic League championships came

with rings, Deer Valley boys volleyball coach Lou Pan-zella would be starting on his second hand this season.

The Wolverines have been the class of the BVAL the past fi ve years, and Panzella believes his team could make it six.

Deer Valley returns all but three starters from last season’s team that lost in the North Coast Section fi nal to De La Salle. The Wolverines fi gure to miss the pres-ence of elite outside hitters Jason Agopian and Taylor Higgs, who have graduated.

Offensively, Deer Valley is stacked with seven play-ers 6 feet 2 inches or taller.

Senior opposite hitter Noah Labonte logged 45 kills for Deer Valley to help the team start 3-0 with wins over tough East Bay Athletic League opponents Amador Val-ley, Foothill and San Ramon Valley.

Junior middle blocker Marcus Lee, who’s 6-9 and the league’s basketball co-MVP, will play as big a role for the volleyball team as he did for the hoop squad, Pan-zella said. Freshman outside hitter Jordan Ewert leads the team in kills through three games.

“We have a lot of offensive weapons,” Panzella said. “Our success or lack of success is going to revolve around how well we control the ball. We have a really nice blend of youth with a really nice nucleus of returning players. I think we have a pretty good chance of being pretty good this year.”

AntiochThe Panthers will undergo a series of adjustments this

season after losing their coach and eight players from a team that posted a record of 18-13 (8-2 in the BVAL) in 2011.

First-year head coach David Driscoll inherits a team that lost outside hitters Tyler Evans and Dane Crabtree, right-side hitter Nick Sanders and setter D.J. Morales, among others.

Senior middle blocker Misael Saldana and outside hit-ter Christopher Farina anchor an athletic team that excels at hitting but lacks experience.

“What is going to defi ne us is the amount of commit-ment that these guys give volleyball,” Driscoll said. “Being new to varsity, it’s a different speed. The key is making the

adjustment from junior varsity to varsity.”Driscoll said he’s impressed with senior Jared Mlekush,

who’s still trying to adjust to the game after transitioning from basketball.

FreedomAside from four players returning from last year’s team

that fi nished third in the BVAL, little will stay the same for Freedom this season.

First-year head coach Arvin Cruz, who coached the girls team last year, took over the boys team this season. His arrival was accompanied by a new style of play for the Fal-cons. Cruz emphasizes strict organization and execution on offense.

Cruz’s ultimate goal is to run the team as close to a col-legiate program on the court as possible. “The players know how to play old-school volleyball, but I’m bringing a new program,” Cruz said. “One that emphasizes things like the X, the runs, the combinations.”

Junior outside hitter Rogelio Juarez, junior defensive specialist Michael Strahlendorf, senior setter Jimmy Cart-

wright and senior opposite hitter Ahmad Behzod Khan return for the Falcons, providing them with key leadership.

“Every time I see him (Kahn) in practice, he’s encourag-ing everyone even when they make mistakes,” Cruz said. “Its always positive reinforcement.”

Senior middle hitter Jehiah Gennaro, new to the team after playing basketball for the Falcons, will also play a key role, Cruz said.

Freedom won its opening match against Concord on March 13 before losing to Las Lomas six days later.

PittsburgAfter fi nishing fourth in the BVAL in 2011 with a record

of 11-15 (3-7 in league play), Pittsburg is creeping toward elite status in 2012, according to head coach Paul LaCasse.

The Pirates lost four seniors to graduation, but retained senior setter Ron Capurro, junior outside hitter Arlington Fisiiahi and senior middle hitter Vakapuna Lomu, who lead the Pirates’ offense.

Pittsburg’s non-league schedule is decisively more chal-lenging than last season, featuring matchups against Liver-more and Northgate, which LaCasse believes will teach the Pirates how to win.

“They know they can win,” LaCasse said. “They just have to get over that next hump, which is winning games. We always get caught in those matches where we have 21, 22. We need to learn how to get those extra four points or so without making the mistakes.”

In order to move up the BVAL standings in 2012, LaC-asse said Pittsburg must work on its blocking to match the team’s strength, which is its hitting.

HeritageThe Patriots’ youth, a weakness for Heritage last season,

has matured into its strength just one year later. Heritage started four sophomores last season and suffered through eight matches before notching its fi rst win of the season en route to a record of 5-25 (3-7 in the BVAL).

Setter Freddy Moore and middle blocker Alex Filardo, both juniors, return to the Patriots and fi gure to be cor-nerstones of a team that shows signs of improvement four games into the season.

Heritage has already jumped out to a 3-1 record with wins over Clayton Valley and Berean Christian.

Heritage will rely on senior middle blocker Tyler Eels-

How Do You Spell “Tax Relief?” It Starts with “IRS”IRS has announced a major expansion of the

“Fresh Start” initiative that was launched in 2008 to help taxpayers in trouble.

The new, broader effort will allow certain taxpayers who have been unemployed for 30 days or longer to avoid paying penalties for failing to pay taxes. IRS has also greatly increased the number of taxpayers eligible for installment agreements by doubling the dollar threshold, and is working to make common-sense changes to the Offer in Compromise program.

Many delinquent taxpayers have not filed because they do not have the money to pay, and then they are socked with both the failure-to-file and failure-to-pay penalties. Often they do not realize that they can reduce their penalties by filing even if they cannot pay. This latest effort is going to help a lot of struggling taxpayers.

This year, certain wage earners and self-employed taxpayers will be able to avoid paying any penalties for late payment of 2011 taxes so long as they have filed an extension and have paid the full tax, interest and any other penalties by the October 15, 2012 extension deadline. Eligible for the penalty relief are wage earners who have been unemployed for at least 30 consecutive days in 2011 or 2012 up until the April 17 federal tax deadline, and self-employed individuals whose business income has dropped 25 percent or more during 2011. Taxpayers whose annual incomes exceed $200,000 for married

filing jointly, or $100,000 for those filing single or as head of household, are not eligible for the expanded penalty relief. Also ineligible are taxpayers who owe more than $50,000 for calendar year 2011.

The increase in the dollar threshold for eli-gibility for an installment agreement without sup-plying IRS with a financial statement means that taxpayers who owe up to $50,000 in back taxes may be able to catch up by making a series of payments over months or years. Another expansion of the Fresh Start program increases the repayment term from a maximum of 60 months to 72 months.

It is important for taxpayers with installment agreements to be aware that during the period that they are paying off their tax debts with monthly direct debit payments, interest continues to accrue on the outstanding debt. And, they must stay cur-rent with their payments going forward -- if they fall behind, the agreement becomes void.

EAs are tax experts licensed by the US Department of the Treasury. To earn the EA license, candidates must pass a background check and a stringent three-part exam on tax. To main-tain the license, they must complete annual con-tinuing education that is reported to the IRS.

Should you have questions about this or any other tax matter feel free to contact our office. www.jettax.org, [email protected], or call (925)778-0281. One of our enrolled agents will be happy to assist you.

has pledged some money. The Mt. Diablo Wrestling Association has done the same.

Clark has been surprised and touched by the outpouring of support.

“It means a lot, really it does,” Clark said. “I want to do my best to show every-body that they didn’t donate for no rea-son.”

But the trip transcends wrestling. Af-ter his family moved to Oregon in 2010, Clark opted to move back to Antioch soon after fi nding out that his new school wouldn’t let him participate in wrestling and football. Since then, he’s been living

with classmates and family friends while attending school.

As graduation approaches, Clark wonders what his future holds. He’s hop-ing to continue wrestling at a college closer to his family, but hasn’t signed any paper-work yet. He’ll be networking with college coaches and scouts in Virginia, hoping for a scholarship or at least some direction.

“It’s been really cool,” said Clark. “All the coaches and staff at all the different schools are supporting me even though I’m not on the team. I hope it will lead to something bigger.”

expects to carry the Falcons are junior Mariah Walker, senior Vanessa Espinoza, sophomore Olivia Herrera and junior Lisa Tilcock.

The coach hopes some of the younger runners can raise their games and add depth to the relay teams. Currently, Jordan Mor-gan runs the relays but also participates in the long jump and triple jump, limiting his effectiveness.

“I know that we’ve got some individu-als that will do very well,” Briggs said. “A lot will depend on how things go injury-wise; we’ll have to stay on point there.”Deer Valley

The Wolverines’ advantage mirrors that of Heritage. While Deer Valley boasts its in-dividual winners, the squad also thrives on its depth, and fi nishing high in nearly every event. Head coach Bernard Stephens’ group will win plenty of events this season, at least if the Marsh Creek Invitational is any indi-cator.

Junior La Shall Hamlin claimed the 100- and 200-meter sprints. Joining her was the 4x400-meter relay team of Sasha New-man (sophomore), Candice Brown (sopho-more), Heaven Braggs (freshman) and Kourtney Burney (freshman).

The male division looks to be strong as well. Senior Shawn Simms complemented his long jump win by fi nishing second in the 200-meter race. Senior Isaiah Reed (800 me-ters), junior Dylan Winn (1600 meters), and junior Lavelle Hamlin (300-meter hurdles) all also claimed their individual events.Antioch

Unlike some of their league rivals, the Panthers don’t feature much depth. But An-tioch has managed to fi nd a niche for itself, boasting plenty of athletes who pose the threat of winning any meet or tournament.

Junior Lindsey McGrath won the 400-meter race at the Marsh Creek Invi-tational and fi nished in a respectable fi fth place in the 800-meter event. Sophomore Jason Brown won the freshman/sophomore 400-meter race.

Also bolstering optimism for the Pan-thers’ present and future was the Sprint

Medley team, comprising three underclass-men. Sophomore Cristian Garcia joined freshmen Auchavion Brewer, Damani Wright (freshman) and senior Ahmad Lo-gan to win the event.Pittsburg

On the boys team, the Pirates are led by a quartet of seniors. Head coach Aaron Alatorre expects Miles Walker (200 meters), Javonte Brooks-Brown (shot put/discus), Brian Johnson (discus) and Austin Jones (100/200 meters) to lead a largely younger group of athletes.

“We’re diverse in all events,” Ala-torre said. “Not sprint strong, not distance strong. We have a good core on both sides that I look forward to coaching this year. Boys are more senior leadership, hoping to carry young guys along. The girls side is young and talented. We have depth at all po-sitions, in all events. I’m excited about this year for girls.”

One of the groups that the coach is excited about is the 4x100-relay team of ju-niors Jasmine Huey, Janeek Mollique, Cha-nel Jones and freshman Joi Parham. He also identifi ed sophomore Crystal Rodriguez as a name to watch, as she has shown great prowess in the 400 and 800 despite limited experience in those events. Alatorre also ex-pects the competition to be strong, even in the Pirates’ better events.Liberty

The strength of the Lions rests largely in their fi eld events and distance runs – espe-cially the boys.

In the fi eld, sophomore triple jumper Stefani Bergerhouse joins polevaulters se-nior Jesus Morales and junior Clint Bishop, as well as triple jumper Christopher Davis as athletes to watch. They also fi gure to be good in the distance runs, as Cody Mayer was one of the top performers at the Marsh Creek Invitational at both the 1600 and 3200 meters.

At the same meet, sophomore Rebekah McCarthy gave Liberty cause for hope in the sprints, as she fi nished second in the 100 me-ters, which outperformed every one of her BVAL rivals.

ing to replace the void left by graduated middle blocker Oliver Guernsey. Head coach Janet Hannigan is optimistic about the rest of the season, but would like to see the Patriots take more risks on the court.

“I think last year’s inexperience really put them in a place where maybe they don’t want to make mistakes,” Hannigan said. “They need to learn to serve tougher and hit harder.”

LibertySince the Lions fi eld only seven players, it’s no surprise that fi rst-year

head coach Brian Miller believes his squad’s endurance on the court could dictate its level of success this season.

Miller, a 2005 graduate of Liberty, will rely on senior middle blocker Brock Bonte, who was named to the All-BVAL second team last season, to lead the squad that includes three freshmen.

Assistant coach Karla Hill, who graduated from Liberty in 2006 and recently completed her fi rst marathon, has been tasked with helping the team get in shape. Barring injury, the Lions’ short roster might work to their advantage – they might be one of the more cohesive teams in the league.

Brentwood NAPA: a family legacy continues

Linda Wilson remembers her husband, Rick,

getting a call in the middle of the night. A

local farmer’s harvester had broken down

and he needed a part immediately. Rick, co-owner of

Brentwood NAPA Auto Parts, was there to help him

out before the store opened. The next day, Linda and

Rick found a crate of tomatoes waiting for them – a

gift from the thankful farmer.

It’s that kind of personal connection with the commu-nity that has made Brentwood NAPA Auto Parts the city’s oldest family-owned retail business. The Wilson family has owned the store since 1957, when the business was located at the corner of Brentwood Boulevard and Oak Street. Now the shop inhabits a blue building at 7881 Brentwood Blvd.

In addition to selling everything from wiper blades to wrenches, the knowledgeable staff at Brentwood NAPA Auto Parts is willing to lend advice to those who aren’t mechanically savvy. The store carries parts for foreign and domestic cars, trucks, boats and nearly everything else with a motor. Rick’s ownership began fi rst as a co-owner with his

brothers. About 10 years ago, Linda and Rick became the sole co-owners of the shop, and the family legacy lives on: their daughter, Bethany O’Donnell, now works at the store, and Linda considers manager Brad Myers an adopted son.

Though the store is a NAPA branch business, it’s independently owned by the Wilsons. This gives them the

freedom to better serve the constantly changing customer base, which has evolved from farmers to construction companies to a little bit of everything now.

“We’re family owned; we’re not corporate; we’re not a franchise,” Linda said. “We’re just adapting to what the

Getting to the root of auto ailments

Decorated with a wall of

model cars and boasting

a massage chair and an

arcade driving game, the waiting area

at East County European Autoworks is

family-friendly and inviting. “We try to

go above and beyond, from the begin-

ning to the end,” said owner-operator

Freddie Apodaca, Jr. And over his four

years in business, he has lived up to

those high standards.

“We do everything – from bumper to bumper,” said Apodaca. “We do work on all other models, but we specialize in Audi, Volkswagen.” He became interested in cars while watching his father work on the family vehicles. When he was 12, his father encountered a problem with a car’s comput-er that he was unable to solve himself.

“I was intrigued,” recalled Apodaca. That incident piqued his fascination with the complexities of vehicles and started him on the road to his current occupation. Through formal education and eight years at Livermore Audi, he became familiar with all

aspects of running an auto repair business. That knowledge helped him to open his own shop in 2007.

“As I drove around,” said Apodaca, “I noticed how many Volkswagens there were; how many Audis, and there was nobody servicing them.” His extensive experience with Audis and side work on Volkswagens inspired him to open East County European Autoworks. The two manufacturers’ prod-ucts are strikingly similar.

“They’re very fi nicky cars,” he said. “One problem can be masked by another.” Apodaca makes a point of taking apart the malfunctioning sections of the vehicle in order to ensure that he fi nds “the root cause of the problem.” His attentiveness has unmasked some unexpected answers to unusual issues: One car showed the check-engine light turning on intermittently. After a careful process of elimination, Apodaca discovered that one of the hoses had not been completely hollowed out, and instead had a ball of rubber inside of it. Another car engaged its turn signals whenever the driver hit the brakes, which turned out to be due to the installation of the wrong lightbulb.

Apodaca enjoys helping his custom-ers visualize a problem by showing them exactly where their vehicles are acting up.

Keeping the shine on

Most people purchase a

vehicle for its looks and

performance. But unless

the vehicle is kept in a garage and never

driven, it’s impossible to keep it in pris-

tine condition. Some kind of damage to

the vehicle’s clear coat or enamel paint

on the car is to be expected.

If you want your vehicle to remain in the best shape possible, you need to take an active role in maintenance and damage prevention. The risk for damage increases the longer a substance remains on the paint.

♦ Ultraviolet light: Just as UV light affects the skin, hair and other parts of your body, it also affects a vehicle’s paint. UV rays oxidize the paint and cause a white, powdery fi lm to form on the car. Washing the car frequently

In addition to top-notch body work, the experts at Casey’s Auto Body in Brentwood can buff out or repair your vehicle’s old paint – or give it a dazzling new paint job.

While he used to resell the assets through auction houses, Hensley now runs his busi-ness solely through eBay, selling dozens of units and an average of 65 Harleys per month through the online auction site.

“We sell the most unique items,” Hensley said. “Rare cars, collector bikes, jet skis, horse trailers – the list goes on. New products are coming in daily, and most of the inventory is posted online within a week. We run seven-day, no-reserve auctions, so the person with the highest bids get the unit.”

Hensley collects units through bank and corporate repossessions, dealer trade-ins and local municipalities. Items currently up for bid include a 2003 Mercedes-Benz G-Class G500 G Wagon, a 1989 Vanhool 54-passenger bus and a 2006 Harley-Davidson Touring Electra Glide Classic.

Since the unit goes to the highest bidder, there are plenty of deals to be made. Hensley and his son Travis always guess what an item will go for, but sometimes it goes for less than expected, and sometimes the bidding war escalates and Nationwide Fleet brings in $10,000 more than expected. The Hensley family averages $6 million in sales annually since moving the business online.

In the early years, Tim ran ads in news-papers to announce his auctions; his offerings would occasionally attract interest from out of state. But now, Nationwide Fleet deals regu-larly with international clients from Australia to Switzerland.

“I remember when getting a call from someone in Denver was a big deal,” Tim said.

“That was huge. But now, we’re doing busi-ness with people from all over the world. I’ve sold boats to people in Hong Kong; Harleys to folks in New Zealand. There is a college, the Ohio Technical Institute, that buys a lot of bikes for the students to train on. When I was fi rst told about eBay, I thought, ‘Who is going to buy a car without getting a chance to sit in it, smell it, touch it?’ But people trust in our services.”

Since moving the business to eBay in 2008, Nationwide Fleet has garnered the “Top-rated Seller” distinction, boasting more than 1,000 sales and a customer feedback score of 100 percent. Satisfi ed customers have been volunteering praises for years. “These guys were great to work with. Helped us in every way,” raved a customer who bought a 2006 Weekend Warrior 3000 Toy Hauler earlier this month. “Another Flawless Transaction. Will Be Back. Thanks!” posted a satisfi ed repeat customer who purchased a Harley Softail.

Despite a diverse, international fan base, Tim does little local business. But when he does, customers are often surprised to fi nd such an eclectic collection of products in the back roads of Byron. While the Hensleys own a large garage for storing and reconditioning products, no products are sold directly from the home base. Clients occasionally stop by to look over a potential purchase, but all sales are done through the Internet.

To check out Nationwide Fleet’s latest offerings, visit www.nationwide-fl eet.com. For more information, call Tim at 925-980-9803 or Travis at 925-437-9820.

Secrets to buying online

The test drive is an important

part of used-car shopping.

Taking a used car for a spin

before you buy it is a good way to get

to know the vehicle, from detecting

mechanical problems to seeing if it fi ts

your personal style.

But a growing number of used-car buyers are fi nding attractive deals online, which sometimes means committing to buy a vehicle before you’ve even seen it.

The Internet has made it possible and practical to expand your used-car shopping to nationwide dimensions. And shopping online offers unmatched convenience, selection and value – all without pressure to make your decision on the spot in the dealership.

Buying a used car online, however, is a lot different than the online purchase of books, music or movies. The process involves far more variables. Here are seven secrets to successful online used-car shopping:

Learn the vehicle’s historyWhen you buy a used vehicle from online

sites such as eBay Motors, Yahoo! Autos or AutoTrader.com, you probably won’t get to see and drive the vehicle before you commit to the purchase. A vehicle history report such as AutoCheck, offered by Experian Automotive, can help provide information critical to making a smart decision. Log on to www.autocheck.com to learn more.Complete transactions through the purchase site

If you fi nd a used car online, be sure to start and fi nish your transaction through the website. Doing so will afford you all the protections and assurances offered by the site.Know what you’re buying

In addition to reviewing a vehicle history report, ask for additional photos of details such as the odometer reading, vehicle iden-tifi cation number and scratches or blemishes if they’re not already revealed in the listing. Ask a third party to inspect the vehicle for mechanical or safety problems.

Check out the sellerWhat kind of feedback does the seller

get on the marketplace site? Read the seller’s ratings and comments.Review the vehicle title

If it appears to have been altered in any way, reconsider your decision to buy.Keep your feet on the ground

If a deal looks too good to be true, it probably is. Common sense and patience can be two of your best buying tools.Know your legal options

If you encounter fraud during the process of shopping for a used car, consider fi ling a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov.

Shopping for a car isn’t unlike shop-ping for clothing, a vacation package – or even a house. Take reasonable precautions to ensure you’re dealing with a legitimate seller, and take advantage of the secure processes offered by trustworthy and reputable online marketplaces.

Four great auto appsSmartphones and tablets have revolu-

tionized the way many of us live. Apps can help with shopping, exercising, learning – even driving. Here are a few of the best apps for car owners, courtesy of www.kiaofwestspringfi eldnews.com.

♦ Put the Take Me To My Car app near the top of your list. Ever failed to locate your vehicle in a mall parking lot the size of Montana? By simply tapping the app when you leave your car, the app will record the location and lead you back to it. This free app is supported only by the iPhone.

♦ An iPhone app called Carticipate  makes your car more energy effi cient. This free social commuting app creates a whole

framework designed to reduce emissions and save gas. By signing up for Cartici-pate, you can fi nd a ride or share your car wherever you go. Car owners can sign up for Carticipate on the iPhone or Facebook.

♦ GasBuddy is a free app dedicated to helping you fi nd the nearest and cheapest gas. According to the GasBuddy website, you can earn points to win prizes. This app can work on Windows Phone 7, Android and iPhone.

♦ Subsonic is a free app that lets you stream music from your home computer and listen to it on their iPhone, Android phone or Windows phone. With this app, you never need to worry about losing con-tact with your favorite radio station.

and applying the best quality wax will help keep UV rays from penetrating the paint.

♦ Oversprays: It’s not always possible to prevent your vehicle from getting doused in paint spray, tar, concrete and other chemicals routinely used in construction zones. Don’t allow these substances to harden on your vehicle. Rinse promptly with automotive soap – and avoid construction zones whenever possible.

♦ Rain: Both acid rain and regular rainwater (plus other sources of water) can dissolve paint over time. The U.S. Geological Survey states that water is a universal solvent because it can dissolve more substances than any other liquid. Whenever the vehicle becomes wet, it should be dried with a towel or chamois and not allowed to air dry.

♦ Natural substances: Tree sap, bird drop-pings and splattered insects contain com-pounds that can erode the paint on a vehicle. Avoid parking under large trees where sap and bird droppings may be prevalent. In

terms of bug splatter, try to wash it off as soon as possible to alleviate damage.

♦ Eggs: Some rambunctious children get their kicks from egging vehicles. The enzyme and sulfur content of an egg can cause paint and clear coat to dissolve, leaving white spots in the wake of the egg. Since egg can be sticky and hard to remove once dried, it needs to be washed off as soon as possible. It takes only a few hours for the damage to become permanent.

♦ Bleach: Although a bleach-and-water solu-tion can be an effective way to clean many things, it should not be used on a vehicle. Bleach is an oxidizer and will pit metal and discolor paint. Be careful with pool chemi-cals as well, as chlorinator is usually regular household bleach.

There are many things that can damage a vehicle’s paint job. Although it’s impossible to shield it from everything, taking a few simple precautions can keep your vehicle sparkling like new.

He believes that with time and patience, every problem can be fi xed. “There’s always a way,” he said. “As long as people want to keep it on the road, it’s possible.”

Attention to detail has earned Apodaca the loyalty of his customers, some of whom followed him when he moved from the Audi dealership and opened his own shop. “Everyone always comes back,” he said. “They know me and feel comfortable.”

Apodaca continues to enjoy the chal-lenges of diagnosing and repairing each new car. “It never just goes fl at,” he said. “You never get bored, because cars are changing so fast.”

changes are.”The Brentwood NAPA’s independence

has other benefi ts. As O’Donnell sees it, one of the perks of shopping at NAPA is that “the money stays in the commu-nity.” In addition to helping customers with their vehicular needs, the store plays a key philanthropic role. Every year, the Brentwood NAPA organizes a car show benefi ting the Brentwood Regional Community Chest (BRCC). The event brings in thousands of dollars as well as pallets of food and toys that are distrib-uted to the needy for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

The car show has evolved from a modest display of 45 to 50 cars into a major event drawing more than 100 beau-tifully maintained automobiles from around the East Bay. This year will mark the eighth car show.

“We do that in August to just kind of start off the holiday season,” Linda said. “It’s grown.”

While the car show is the Brentwood NAPA Auto Parts’ headline event, the company also contributes to other charita-ble efforts. Currently, the store is a drop-off for donations supporting local fi refi ghter Willie West, who is battling cancer.
