Buffalo gets new home to roam
Driving through the back roads of East County, passersby often see an array of farm animals, from cows and horses to chickens and goats. If you happened to be driving along Byron Highway last Thursday afternoon, chances are you passed a buffalo and didn’t even know it.
It’s OK. She didn’t see you, either.
It took months of planning, but orphaned buffalo Nakoma fi -nally made it to her new home in Byron after being abandoned at a ranch in Bethel Island earlier this year. Members of the UC Davis Large Animal Clinic were called to sedate the 800-pound beast for transport, and when she awoke, she was greeted by the smiling face of her rescuer and new owner, Charles Ward.
“We knew going into the res-
cue that there were risks,” Ward said. “But the poor thing was all alone out there. Luckily the story has a happy ending and now she’s doing great. As soon as she saw me Thursday night as she was coming out of it, she sat right up. She’s still getting acclimated to her new sur-roundings, but she seems to be hav-
ing fun walking around the ranch, investigating the property.”
Ward has kept buffalo on his ranch for years, so when a family friend discovered an abandoned buffalo at a foreclosed ranch in Bethel Island, she called Ward and asked if he’d be interested in bring-ing the buffalo to his ranch. The
buffalo was one of three, but since the original owners abandoned the bison without warning, two died of starvation before a neighbor found the remaining buffalo roaming the back of the property.
Ward went out to meet the buffalo and began to visit her dai-ly, eventually feeding her apples by hand, and the two formed a bond. “She was nothing but a bag of bones,” Ward said. “I couldn’t leave her out there to suffer, so I started the process of going through the proper channels to get permission to bring her to my ranch. I knew it was going to take some time but it was worth it. Now she’s safe.”
Ward contacted the owners of the property and explained that he was willing to take the buffalo off the property, but when Ward got the OK and tried to load the buffalo into a trailer, the creature instinctively rushed out as soon as

Former pastor pleads guilty
The former pastor of Oakley’s Live Oaks Church has pleaded guilty to charges of felony grand theft in connection with a fraudu-lent $110,000 mortgage secured against the church in 2008.
Larry Pineda, 65, pleaded guilty in Contra Costa County Su-perior Court Nov. 3, just days be-fore jury selection was scheduled to begin in his trial.
“He pleaded guilty and was immediately sentenced to 210 days in the county jail,” said Deputy Dis-trict Attorney Ken McCormick. However, since Pineda has no pre-
vious criminal record, the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Offi ce may allow him to serve out his sentence at home via an electronic monitor-ing bracelet.
McCormick said the convic-tion will assist the church in its on-going civil suit against Pineda. The church is currently paying $1,200 per month on the mortgage that Pineda secured and then put into his private bank account while he continued to draw a $40,000 an-nual salary from the church. Pineda used the mortgage money to fund a $7,000 trip to Israel, a $500 sub-scription to GOD TV and DMV

With mixed emo-tions, the East Contra Costa Fire
Protection on Monday ac-cepted the retirement re-quest from Paid on Call As-sistant Chief Maggie Fajardo after 44 years of service.
Fajardo began his ser-vice with the Oakley Fire Protection District in 1967 and has held the ranks of lieutenant, training offi cer and captain. He was pro-moted to the rank of assis-tance chief after the forma-tion of ECCFPD in 2003. Said Fire Chief Hugh Henderson, “Maggie has performed an outstanding job of handling the role of support services for the district, making sure
that our day-to-day needs were handled in a timely manner. Maggie has always been available to all of us in the middle of the night, to make sure there were cold drinks and replacement air bottles.”

The East Contra Costa Fire Protec-tion District this week gave the thumbs-up to begin informing district residents about a $197-per-parcel tax it will ask voters to approve in June aimed at keep-ing the severely under-funded district afl oat.
The board approved the fi rst of three educational mailers planned for between now and the election. The fl ier, which should appear in residents’ mailboxes next week, explains that the ECCFPD answers 5,300 calls per year covering 250 square miles and 105,000 people. It goes on to say a 35-percent drop in district revenue in recent years has outstripped the district’s ability to make ends meet, and draconian cuts could result if the measure is not passed.
“We have undergone signifi cant budget cuts in recent years, including the closure of two fi re stations, eliminat-ing administrative positions and defer-ring equipment repairs, but we continue to face a structural defi cit of 2 million dollars annually,” the fl ier states. “At our current rate, all of the District’s re-sources will be exhausted by July 2012, resulting in additional station closures and signifi cant layoffs that would reduce
staffi ng levels from 54 to 24.”The board also approved a timeline
for a series of public meetings aimed at informing the public about the tax, why it is needed and what will happen if it does not pass. The meetings, which will include sessions in each far East County community the district serves, will begin with a town hall meeting at the Discov-ery Bay Elementary School on Monday, Dec. 12 at 6:30 p.m.
In addition to the town hall gather-ings, district offi cials will be making the rounds speaking to community groups and service clubs. Any organization that would like to hear fi rsthand about the measure is encouraged to call Fire Chief Hugh Henderson at 925-240-2131 or e-mail [email protected].

Folks in far East County will soon begin to see familiar sights around town – some traditional and some just plain fun. Above are Liberty High Kiwanis Key Club members KayLa Lewis and Michaelle Diaz getting some teeth into the barrel-wrapping chore that goes with the placement of dozens of donation barrels in local businesses. The barrels, marked “Brentwood Regional Community Chest” (BRCC) and “Toys for Tots,” show that the BRCC’s annual effort to feed and provide toys for 500 families
is partnering once again with the Marine Corps’ Premier Toy program.
Above right is Brentwood Mayor Bob Taylor, who for the third year will don a turkey suit and ask for $8 donations to purchase frozen turkeys for the program’s benefi ciaries. Making public appearances as “Gobbler Bob,” Taylor has raised thousands of dollars for the effort, which last year resulted in his being publicly “basted” with a fi re hose at The Streets of Brentwood.
This year’s basket-packing event will take place at Brentwood Elementary School starting at 6 p.m. and continue until it’s fi nished. As always, many volunteers are needed to make it work, and individuals, groups, clubs and anyone else is encouraged to show up and help out.
Keep an eye on The Press for a full list of barrel locations or fi nd them all at www.thepress.net/charities. For more information or to request a barrel, call 925-890-8296.

Galaxy gazers rack up zillions of zerosHow far can you see? The answer might surprise
you.You resolve letters on an eye chart from a
distance measured in feet; words and symbols on a road sign from a distance measured in yards; the outline of a city skyline or mountain range from a distance measured in miles.
But we’re just warming up.We East County folk are graced with a
magnifi cent long-distance object on a regular basis: Mt. Diablo, about 10 miles from downtown Brentwood. Let’s use the mountain as a point of reference.
Even in relatively fl at East County, a little elevation – say, the crest of Round Valley’s Hardy Canyon Trail – rewards us with a view of an object 10 times farther than Mt. Diablo: the granite majesty of the Sierra Nevada Range to our east.
A greater challenge to the imagination is the enchanting pageant of our moon sinking into the west behind Mt. Diablo. Our moon: 24,000 times more distant than our mountain – though not nearly as impressive as our sun: 9 million times the distance of the mountain.
Our next step takes us into interstellar space. The nearest bright star in our autumn sky, found southeast of the constellation Orion in Canis Major, is the glinting diamond we call Sirius, a whopping nine light years farther than the mountain. Now, if nine light years doesn’t sound impressively remote, we need to back up a bit.
A light year is a measure not of time but distance – the distance light travels in one year. Once we leave our tiny solar system, the emptiness between stars, and galaxies of stars, becomes so enormous that astronomers describe distance in light years instead of miles. It’s hard to wrap the mind around a number ending in 18 zeroes.
So how far is a light year? Well, if you could hitch a ride on a wave of light, if you could go 186,000 miles per second – seven times around Earth in one second – it would take you about 8½ minutes to reach the sun and nine years to reach Sirius.
But in the scale of the cosmos, Sirius is our next-door neighbor. See those stars above Sirius in Orion? The main rectangle stars – Betelgeuse, Bellatrix, Rigel and Saiph – range from 240 to 900 light years away. Hanging below Orion’s belt is M42, the Orion Nebula, at 1,350 light years from Mt. Diablo.
But 1,350 light years is a piece of cake. You can see farther than the Orion Nebula – a lot farther. All the stars you can spot with your naked eye reside within our home galaxy, the pinwheel of between 200 and 400 billion stars we call the Milky Way. But there’s a naked-eye object out there that’s well beyond our galaxy. And that would be … another galaxy.
Labeled M31 (for those of you keeping score at home), the Andromeda Galaxy hangs in our autumn evening sky a staggering 2.3 million light years beyond Mt. Diablo. That’s right: beneath a clear, dark sky and equipped with normal vision, you can spot our next-door galactic neighbor at a mind-numbing distance of more than 12,900,000,000,000,000,000 miles. What the heck – round it up to 13 quintillion miles.
TAKE ITOUTSIDE

To fi nd M31, the Andromeda Galaxy, “follow the diamond.” From the leftmost star of the diamond (the tilted “Great Square” of Pegasus), trace the long curve of the two leftward stars; then hook upward a short distance along two stars. M31 is the misty patch just above and to the right of the top star.

OLD MEDALAWARD
But why stop there?How far you can see into the universe
depends partly on the innate brightness, what astronomers call the “luminosity,” of the objects out there. From Antioch, your naked eye might not be able to resolve a puny 15-watt light bulb atop Mt. Diablo, but it sure can resolve the searing beacons on Diablo’s peaks. The strength of the light source, not the mere distance, matters too.
Which takes us well beyond Andromeda. The luminosity of stellar events such as supernovae or gamma ray bursts allows you to spot them with the naked eye from, as we in higher astronomical circles like to say, “a really really really long way away.” The afterglow of the gamma ray burst known as GRB 080319B, detected in the constellation Boötes by NASA’s Swift satellite on March 19, 2008, reached visual
magnitudes between 5 and 6, bright enough to be spotted by the naked eye.
GRB 080319B’s distance? About 7.5 billion light years, halfway to the edge of the known universe – a universe unfurling at an astounding rate. By the time it takes you to fi nish this sentence, the universe will have expanded in volume by 100 trillion cubic light years. Period. Ready for the next 100 trillion? Here it comes.
The next time you squint at your optometrist’s Snellen chart and lament what’s happened to the 20/20 vision of your youth, take heart. You might not be able to resolve that P in line 8, but there’s another object you can resolve.
“By the way, Doc. I stepped outside last night and saw something really far away.”
“Yah? How far?”“Oh, about … 13 quintillion miles,”
you say with an air of scientifi c detachment.“Riiight.”
Outside from page 6A
When viewed through a large telescope, the Andromeda
Galaxy occupies a section of sky more than six times
the width of the full Moon. As a naked-eye object, only
Andromeda’s galactic nucleus is visible. Train your binoculars
on M31 and you’ll be able to resolve the inner galactic disc surrounding the nucleus like
fog framing a streetlamp.

FREE THANKSGIVING DINNER/CHARITY OPPORTUNITY
For many of us, Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of food, family, and friends! But for many others, November 24 will just be another day on the calendar. No special meal, no special gathering of friends or family. Maybe you’ve thought in the past that you’d like to help, but you have commitments on that day, which is certainly understandable.
Well, here is your chance! I am chairing the annual Golden Hills Community Church’s FREE Thanksgiving Dinner for Brentwood. We serve a hot meal of turkey, ham, and all the fixin’s. We also try to send everyone home with a bag of food and some clothes. This will be at the Brentwood Vet’s Hall at 757 First St. from 10:30 to 2:30 on Thanksgiving Day. All are welcome to attend.
We are usually blessed with more than enough physical help the day of the event to serve the meals, but we could always use more canned goods and/or clothing. You can drop them off at my office anytime between now and Thanksgiving Day. We are in need
of canned food (soup, tuna, veggies, fruits, etc.), non-perishables like noodles, cereal, bread, bottled drinks, etc. We can also use any type of clean, usable clothing, blankets, jackets, etc. New baby diapers in any size are also VERY popular! We are located at 320 Fairview Ave. in Brentwood. If you come by after hours, just drop them off on our porch.
If you will be around on Thanksgiving Day, you could also cook and carve a turkey and bring it to the Vet’s Hall in the morning. We also love ham, and it’s easier for you to prepare. Other needs for the day of the event will be pies, sweet potatoes and stuffing. The sweet potatoes and stuffing will need to be cooked and then dropped off Thanksgiving Day in a disposable pan.

Tax planning now may provide a lower tax bill later“Taxpayers should pay no more or no less
than what’s owed,” said IRS Spokesperson Raphael Tulino. “While most taxpayers prefer to get a refund, some tax planning done now could boost take home pay or save money down the road.”
More than three out of four taxpayers received refunds thus far in 2011 and the average refund is just over $2,800. To bring the tax paid closer to what’s actually owed, taxpayers should consider:
Withholding AdjustmentsTaxpayers should use IRS Publication 919,
“How do I adjust my tax withholding?” or the Withholding Calculator at IRS.gov to assist with determining the proper withholding amount for their situation. Wage earners needing to adjust withholdings should complete and submit a new Form W-4, Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate, to their employer. Self-employed tax-payers can use Form 1040-ES worksheet to cor-rectly figure their estimated tax payments.
2011 Payroll Tax CutMillions of workers saw their take-home
pay rise during 2011 because the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 provides a two percent-age point payroll tax cut for employees, reducing their Social Security tax withholding rate from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent of wages paid. This reduced Social Security withholding will have no effect on the employee’s future Social Security benefits.
Summer Tax TipsSummer months often mean weddings, sum-
mer jobs, day camps, job related moves and home sales.
Marital status on Dec. 31 determines mar-riage for that year. Taxpayers should consider which filing status is best. Joint tax deductions may allow newlyweds the opportunity to itemize deduc-tions thus lowering their bill.
Working students who can be claimed as a dependent on another tax return may be exempt from federal tax withholding if certain other condi-tions are met. Students are urged to read IRS form W-4 carefully before submitting to their employer. Skipping unnecessary tax withholdings generally results in a bigger paycheck.
Many working parents arrange for care of their younger children under 13 during the sum-mer. A popular solution — with favorable tax consequences — is a day camp program. Unlike overnight camps, the cost of day camp can count as an expense towards the child and dependent care credit. Up to $3,000 of work-related expenses per qualifying person or $6,000 for two or more quali-fying persons can be used to figure the amount of the credit. IRS publication 503, Child and Dependent Care Credit, provides complete details.
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.

Students get OK for Delta-themed mural
Normally when you see a group of teenagers painting public property, it’s a reason to alert the police. But this week the Brentwood City Council approved a project that will get a group of high school seniors out into the community to contribute to public art.
Seniors in the Arts and Humanities Academy internship program at Liberty High School presented conceptual drawings to the council on Tuesday that detail a Del-ta-inspired mural to be painted in the tunnel at King Park, otherwise known at the Brent-wood dog park. While murals traditionally take up one wall, the students proposed to utilize the entire tunnel to give visitors the feeling of being in an aquarium-like setting. Upon entering the tunnel, walkers will fi nd themselves surrounded by fi sh and other wildlife that call the Delta home.
“We want it to feel like you’re in the Delta, walking under a dock,” said senior Samantha Scott, representing her team of 20 students. “You can see the fi sh mov-ing around you, the water’s current moving through the seaweed, and the sunlight spar-kling through the water.”
Each student researched an indig-enous fi sh and will paint it onto the mural. To create an authentic experience, students researched where the fi sh like to hang out – under logs or in a school with other fi sh – and made sure to keep predators away from their prey in the jovial underwater setting. To give the mural an educational aspect, the students will include a “fi nd it” wall, a key featuring all the fi sh in the mural. Each fi sh will be labeled with its common name and scientifi c name.
“We thought it would be fun for people to walk through the tunnel and be able to
The Brentwood City Council recently approved the concept art for a Delta-in-spired mural to be painted by Liberty High School students next year at King Park. Students created a life-in-the-Delta design that will give visitors the im-pression that they’re walking under a dock in the Delta.

The ongoing recession is forcing us to think twice before writing a donation check, and local nonprofi ts are feeling the pinch. That’s why, beginning next week, The Press will roll out a way you can support your favorite cause with just the click of a mouse.
On Nov. 14, The Press will launch a new Facebook contest in which you’re invited to nomi-nate your favorite 501(c)(3) non-profi t for the op-portunity to win a full-page, full-color ad in all Press newspapers and on The Press Web site (a $2,730 value), plus a featured profi le of the organization.
“It’s that time of year when people want to give back, but with the way the economy is, some people don’t have the means to support their favorite local charities,” said Press Social Media Man-ager Michele Chatburn. “This is an out-of-the-box idea that helps the commu-nity support a charity without spending a penny. All you do is log onto Facebook and vote.”
The nomination process kicks off Monday, Nov. 14. You’re invited to nominate your favorite local nonprofi t by writing a brief statement about the organization and why it’s a worthy cause in need of community support. The nomination period closes Sunday, Nov. 20, and voting runs from Nov. 21 to 27. Facebook users can vote once a day dur-ing the voting period, so you can vote for the same charity each time or vote for several groups throughout the week. A link to the contest will appear at www.thepress.net.
“Here at the Press, we want to help support our local nonprofi ts and show our appreciation for all they do for the community,” Chatburn said. “Many of our local charities have fallen on tough times, so we’re offering the winning non-profi t a profi le in the paper and the full page ad, which they can use whenever it’s convenient for them to promote an event or ask for donations or volunteers.”
Nominees must be registered 501(c)(3) nonprofi ts to qualify. A 501(c)(3) organization is tax exempt, so donations made to it are tax deductable. For a complete list of 501(c)(3) nonprof-its registered with the Internal Revenue Service, visit www.irs.gov/charities and select the Search For Charities option under the Charities & Non-Profi ts Topics menu on the left side of the web page.

The holiday season – the period from Thanksgiving to the New Year – is a time to give thanks, to rejoice and spread good cheer. For many, however, the holidays can be a time of grief.
Hospice of the East Bay is offering a workshop for those who have experienced the death of a loved one and fi nd the holiday sea-son to be a sad and stressful time of year.
“This time of year we are expected to gather with family and friends and be in the holiday spirit,” said Joe Lumello, bereavement program director for Hospice of the East Bay. “We are expected to be thankful, generous and to feel like celebrating. This can place a
tremendous amount of pressure on us, espe-cially if we are grieving the death of a loved one and trying to make sense of our new lives without those we love in it.”
The workshop will be held Tuesday, Nov. 15 from 6 to 8 p.m. at 350 John Muir Park-way in Brentwood, and again Tuesday, Dec. 6 from 2 to 4 p.m. at 3470 Buskirk Ave. in Pleas-ant Hill.
For further information and/or to reg-ister, call 925-887-5681. Pre-registration is re-quired.
Bereavement Services are provided free of charge to all community members in need; however, donations are greatly appreciated.
Coping with holiday grief
NOVEMBER 11, 2011 COMMUNITY THEPRESS.NET | 11A
Sure, we all know that the Super Bowl is special.
There are many who dress up in football attire and go to game parties where there might be gambling boards set up, some mild indulging, cook-
ies, cakes, pizza, donuts and peeled grapes (maybe not the peeled grapes) like, of course, Eric Jensen’s fantastic annual Super Bowl bash in Discovery Bay.
That’s all very special.
But … there is more to bowl than just super.
Did you know that there is also the Harvest Park Bowl?
There’s what?Well, there are about 120 serious
and semi-serious Discovery Bay and Brentwood seniors who get up very early (around 9:00) on Mondays and about the same number on Fridays and head toward the alleys. Bowling alleys. Harvest Park Bowl in Brentwood. The reason that they do that is because they’re members of the Monday Sirs or the (Friday) Summerset Seniors.
You ask if they have a good time? Yes, yes they do. You ask if they bowl well? Well, there are the likes of Curtis Manning, who rolled a recent high game of 259. And there is Gregory Mattus, who notched 269. Paul Elmer scored 256 and Bob Riner 267. Bill Konold somehow bagged a 244 one day and Art Lopez sneaked in a 256 high game.
For these fellows, a 200 game is about the norm. They do it all the time. Nothing special for them. They’re good. Very good. Well, how about Bob Damico’s recent 279? How about that? Or Elwood Davis’ high of 156. What, you ask, is so special about 156? I’ll tell you what – Elwood is 92! You try doing that at 92. Maybe at 82.
So, you say, “Fine, those are all men … men are supposed to roll good balls and hit some pins now and then. What about women? Do women bowl too?”
Karen Patterson tallied 196 a bit ago, Marelena Morgan 226, Rosie Elmer (that would be Paul’s wife) 236, Mary Branscum came up with a 225 just days ago and Connie Ryan a high of 172. Why, you might ask, is Connie Ryan in the group with an under-200 score like that? Because she’s cute … and she tries really hard, that’s why.
Are there others in the group who’ve done well, too? Yes, many. Too many to name all of them. So, one que-ries, suppose you don’t bowl that well; suppose you’re just average or even below average. Would you be welcome there on Monday or Friday mornings if you wandered in, bought a cup of coffee and sorta just sat on a stool and watched and then maybe asked some-one like Tom Kirtley if you could fi ll
a vacancy and get in a group and have some fun for the remaining part of the season?
Yes, yes you would. That’s provid-ing you’re a senior. Suppose you’re not a senior yet? Then you should wait until you are. When you come down and watch, you won’t believe that some of the ladies are really seniors. You might think, “How come she’s bowling? She certainly isn’t old enough. She looks like she’s still in school, not hunkerin’ up to some of these rich old guys and tellin’ them she’s old enough to partici-pate.” And if you said that, you might just be right.
But … the old guys … they don’t mind.
Not only is Harvest Park a place for seniors – it’s for everyone. In the early-morning hours, scores of kids show up for a credited high school class in the sport. They’re fun to watch. You think back and try to remember when you were that age … and you can’t. You notice, of course, how cute the girls are and how manly the boys. Many are good bowlers. All appear to be good kids.
Harvest Bowl is special in many ways. Owners Jim and Anne Wangeman do an outstanding job managing the
facility. The snack bar is well staffed, the place is spotless and everything works because the Wangemans spend thousands of dollars each year in main-tenance and improvements.
Special events at Harvest are con-stantly offered. For New Year’s there’s a midnight party with dinner, bowling, favors and good times. Even though prices are reasonable, you might get a special deal if you reserve a few lanes for a birthday, a party or a private event. You’re guaranteed a good time … one you’ll remember for a long time and one you’ll want to repeat again and again.

The students won over Mayor Bob Taylor during Tuesday’s presentation. “I think this is really cool,” Taylor said. “This is impressive work and we’re really excited for you to get started.”
Taylor looks forward to getting stu-dents involved in the community, joking that they could paint the whole town if they get started right away. Students plan to prep the site before the holiday break and begin painting in the new year. The project is to be completed before graduation.
In a 4-0 vote (Councilmember Bob Brockman was absent), the council ear-marked $18,000 toward the purchase of the project’s equipment and art supplies. The funding will also subsidize the application of a glossy, graffi ti-proof fi nish to deter van-dalism. With the council’s approval, Taylor sent the students off with the warm wish “Go fi shin’.”
For many of the students, the mural project will be their fi rst opportunity to take part in a large-scale art project. “It’s so excit-ing to be a part of this and contribute to our community,” said senior Shannon Fickling. “It’s a great opportunity to challenge our-selves as artists. I’m really looking forward to getting out there.”
In August, the students began brain-
storming a mural project and presented sev-eral treatments to the Brentwood Art Com-mission in September. The students used the commission’s feedback to refi ne the Delta design and returned to the commission for approval in October. For most of the stu-dents, this was their fi rst time to get hands-on experience in local government.
“There’s a lot more work that goes into this than we thought,” said student Rachel Dirk. “We thought it would be pretty easy, but the commission wanted every detail, from measurements to the colors. It’s been a really interesting process.”
Arts and Humanities Academy intern-ship program coordinator Katie Collins hopes this will be the fi rst of many collabo-rations between the city and Liberty art stu-dents. “I’m really proud of them for their dedication and professionalism to make this project happen,” she said. “They’ve set the bar pretty high for future students who want to do a public art project.”
Art Commission Chair Danny Senn agreed. “Boy, are they talented!” said Senn in an e-mail. “I think it’s a good project … I’m excited to see the fi rst of what I hope will be many student art projects in Brentwood.”
Students who will contribute to the project are Ismael Alvarez, Jakky Anstine, Danielle Bowersmith, Justin Brown, Natalie Colmenares, Teresa DeFrates, Rachel Dirk, Michelle Duarte, Shannon Fickling, Lorena Garcia, Doug Gil, Anthony Green, Deb-bie Love, Lauren Murphy, Michael Najera, Ana Nunag, Cassie Oseguera, Riley Ruano, Samantha Scott, DJ Trammell, Omar Va-lasquez, Lei Wei and Rebecca Wood.

In Limbo: Th e Forever Trial Modifi cationby Joan Grimes, Esq.
– Advertisement
Every day, at least 1 person comes into my offi ce complaining that they have made all of their payments under a trial loan modifi cation, but there has been no permanent modifi cation. According to the latest numbers, only 4% of all trial modifi cations under HAMP have become permanent. Th e Treasury indicated in December, 2009 that it would start fi ning lenders for failing to complete loan modifi cations, but we have seen little improvement yet.
Borrowers are told a host of explanations as to why there has been no permanent loan modifi cation on their loan including missing paperwork, the loan is with a negotiator or simply that the loan modifi cation takes time. While all of these explanations may be true, the result is that borrowers throughout the country are left in limbo not knowing whether they should try to stay or make preparations for leaving the home. To make matters worse, most borrowers know that the loan modifi cation documentation signed by them warns that foreclosure may be immediately resumed from the point at which it was suspended if this trial modifi cation plan terminates and no new notice of default, notice of intent to accelerate, or similar notice is required. What should they do?
In order to reduce some of their anxiety, I ask them to work through a simple 3 step process to see if any loan modifi cation really makes any sense for them.
Step 1- What are the terms of the loan modifi cation being off ered? Th ere are many types of loan modifi cation/forbearances being off ered by lenders. However, the one most helpful to borrowers is HAMP which stands for Home Aff ordable Modifi cation Program. Lenders are not required to participate in this plan. However, the biggest lenders including Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase Bank, Wells Fargo Bank, Citibank and American Home Mortgage Servicing are participating. Th e program lowers the interest rate to 2% for years 1-5 and increases the interest rate over the next 3 years until it is fi xed in year 8 at approximately 4.5% -5.0% for the remaining term of the loan or in some instances extending the loan term to a 40 year loan. If the trial period is not for a HAMP loan modifi cation, you should immediately contact the lender and apply for HAMP loan modifi cation.
Step 2- Can you pay off the principal balance? A good rule of thumb is that a borrower can payoff 2-2.5 times their gross household income in a home loan over the course of
their working life and go on vacation and have a child or two. Th erefore, if a family’s average gross household income is $100,000, they should not have a home loan which exceeds $250,000. Th is is assuming a 30 year fi xed loan. If a borrower has less than 30 years remaining work time, the amount should be reduced accordingly. If you determine that you are never going to “own” this property, is this the best use of your money? If you didn’t have this huge mortgage payment plus property taxes, insurance and maintenance, could you be putting away more money into retirement or maybe saving for a home you could actually “own.”
Step 3- Is the loan modifi cation payment less than I would pay in rent? Assuming, the above calculation shows that you will not be able to pay off the balance of the loan over the course of your remaining work career, is the loan modifi cation payment still less than I would pay in rent? Depending on where you live, the loan modifi cation payment may still be less than rent you would pay in your immediate area.
Loan Modifi cations are diffi cult. Most of these loans were made with little or no documentation and now the lenders seem to be requiring full loan documentation at the beginning, middle and whenever they feel like it until they decide a loan modifi cation is granted or denied. If you are in a forever trial modifi cation, I urge to continue a dialogue with the lender seeing if any new programs have become available which may help you. In 2010, we expect lenders with the assistance of the federal government to roll out additional loan modifi cation programs. I recommend calling the lender at least once a week. Continue to ask if there is anything new available. A 4% permanent loan modifi cation rate is not good, but if it improves, you do not want to miss the modifi cation which may allow to retain your home.

the doors began to close behind her. Hav-ing worked with UC Davis vets in the past, the Ward family got in touch with the Large Animal Clinic and a rescue was arranged.
Ward and a group of family and friends were accompanied by a seven-member crew from the clinic last week to bring the buf-falo to Byron, where she could receive the care and compassion she’d been starved of for months. Naturally, the buffalo wasn’t thrilled to be shot in the neck with a tran-quilizer and didn’t go down without a fi ght. After a second shot put her on the ground, the UC Davis team assumed she’d been suc-cessfully sedated. But when they went to se-cure ropes around her, the buffalo sprang to life and ran across the corral. It took a third shot and several boosters to fully sedate her.
The sedation process took nearly two hours, but the ordeal helped the Ward fam-ily name the beast. Nakoma means “great spirit” in several Native American languages and the name seemed like a perfect fi t for the beast with a gentle but stubborn demeanor.
Once Nakoma was sedated, the UC Da-vis crew wrapped ropes around her to help shift her onto a palate built by Ward to move the large mammal into the travel trailer. With the help of Craig Morrison, who operated a tractor lift, Nakoma was placed safely in the trailer and transported to her new home.
UC Davis Large Animal Veterinarian Kris Flores said the rescue was a great suc-cess. Although the team was unprepared for Nakoma’s initial mad dash across the prop-erty – which sent them scattering to the safe-ty of their van – thanks to Ward’s meticulous
planning, the operation went smoothly.“We greatly appreciated this opportu-
nity, and it’s not something that any of us will soon forget,” Flores said. The success of the rescue was also made possible by the UC Davis veterinarians’ experience with buffa-los. Veterinarian Michael Lane worked on a bison research project in Yellowstone, and Veterinarian Victor Cabrera has extensive fi eld experience with water buffalo.
Ward was thankful that such experi-enced professionals and their students were in charge. Going into the rescue, Ward knew there was a risk of Nakoma regurgitating while sedated and drowning in her own vom-it. But luckily, after a seven-hour sedation, the buffalo awoke with no signs of trauma.
Ward is waiting on blood tests to be processed by UC Davis before he considers introducing Nakoma to his other buffalo, Cheyenne. “We want to make sure Nakoma is all checked out and that she isn’t carry-ing any diseases that might be spread to my other animals. But when everything is OK, I’d like for Nakoma to meet Cheyenne. Na-koma spotted her the other day and seems intrigued.”
As Cheyenne is 11 years old and has been queen of the ranch for many years, Ward will introduce the buffalos cautiously. Nakoma is 4 or 5 and much smaller than Cheyenne due to malnourishment, but Ward said he is working to fatten her up.
“She’s a spoiled girl,” Ward said. “The rescue couldn’t have gone any better and now she’s here to stay. She’s a wonderful ad-dition to the family.”

HomeLife helps seniors stay independentWhen Angela and Vinny DiNicola
found themselves in the position of pro-viding care for an elderly family mem-ber following a stay in the hospital, the couple learned fi rsthand the importance of quality in-home services. And it was that experience that led them to open HomeLife Senior Care in Brentwood.
“Considering the needs of our own parents,” said Angela, “our desire was to use what we learned to create a pre-miere, affordable, in-home care service built on a foundation of compassion and dependability, offering families peace of mind by providing their loved ones with the best-trained caregivers in the indus-try, and the dignity and compassion they deserve.”
Serving all of East County as well as Rio Vista and Tracy, the DiNicola’s company is family-owned and operated with a staff of 50 and 24-hour phone service.
“We are not a franchise,” said Vin-ny. “HomeLife Senior Care is different because of the passion that we person-ally bring as owners to be the best. Our focus is on our clients, their families and on training our caregivers. We are constantly honing our systems and pro-cedures. We personalize our service, we
customize it, and we are always improv-ing on it.”
HomeLife Senior Care provides per-sonal care and companion care services to help seniors remain in their homes for as long as possible. The services are available on an as-needed basis with no minimum, as well as 24-hour care. All of HomeLife’s caregivers are trained as Certifi ed Companion Aides, a nation-ally recognized certifi cation program. The DiNicolas offer free, no-obligation in-home assessments to determine how HomeLife Senior Care can best meet
their clients’ current and ongoing needs.“Our clients tell us how excellent
our offi ce staff and caregivers are – and we think they’re right,” said Angela. “It’s the training we provide our caregivers and staff, our own passion, but also their compassion for seniors and their com-mitment to excellence that make the dif-ference.”
But for the DiNicolas, the best part of their job is helping seniors stay inde-pendent and in their own homes. “One fear that seniors have is of losing their independence,” said Vinny. “The best part is helping them to stay in their homes longer, remain independent and not experience the loss of their familiar surroundings. We make it possible for
families to enjoy their aging parents or loved ones when they are visiting, instead of care giving.
“Our service also provides the fam-ily with peace of mind that their loved ones are well-cared for by caregivers who are well-trained, experienced, certifi ed, bonded and insured … We’re different because of the passion we personally bring as owners to be the best and keep our focus, always, on the clients. It’s very rewarding.”
For additional information, call HomeLife Senior Care, Inc. at 925-240-5770; phone lines are answered 24 hours/seven days a week. You can also log on at www.homelifeseniorcare.com, or e-mail [email protected].

Council to receive online comment cardsThe Oakley City Council approved an
online comment card policy this week that al-lows residents unable to attend meetings the opportunity to get their thoughts to the coun-cil in “virtual” form.
While the online comment system was launched a few months ago, questions about how the cards should be utilized during council meetings came to light when several residents submitted online comments – com-ments that weren’t read aloud during the meetings. Councilmember Randy Pope was under the assumption that comments submit-ted online would be read aloud, but legal staff advised Mayor Jim Frazier that it was his choice to read the cards aloud or simply enter the comments into the record. Frazier offered online commenters the opportunity read their comments if they were in attendance, but oth-erwise the comments were summarized and
entered into the meetings’ minutes.On Tuesday, City Clerk Libby Vreonis
asked the council to vote on an offi cial policy to allow for consistency at future meetings. She offered the council three options: one, provide the public with the option for items to be read aloud at meetings or entered anony-mously into meeting minutes; two, provide the public with a series of checkboxes where they would state whether they are for, against or neutral on a particular agenda item, and comments would not be read aloud or record-ed in the minutes; or three, provide all online comments to the City Council via e-mail. The comments would not be read aloud or entered into the record.
Vreonis suggested option two because that is common practice in other Bay Area cities such as Oakland, but the council took issues with that idea.
Councilwoman Carol Rios was con-cerned that under option two, one person could submit hundreds of online “votes” for
an agenda item and skew the representation of the public’s opinion. Pope agreed and sug-gested creating a hybrid of options one and three, where online comments would be en-tered into the minutes but not read aloud. He approved of option three because all council members would receive complete copies of all online comments for consideration prior to the meeting.
Rios favored that idea. “It’s better be-cause we would have the comments ahead of time. We could sort them (the comments), digest them, read them and think about them before the meeting as opposed to having com-ments hitting us one after the other (during the meeting’s public comment period). It would also give the person making the comment the opportunity to have (their thoughts) entered in the minutes, and I think that is important.”
Community watchdog Paul Seger said he’d prefer that comments be read aloud, as the audience deserves to hear what others say about an agenda item. Rios disagreed. “The
whole concept is to communicate with your council,” she said. “We’re the ones making the decisions and you want us to understand what you have to say. It’s not to be entertain-ment for who is sitting out in the audience.”
Vice Mayor Kevin Romick agreed, not-ing that he didn’t want online comments to be read aloud, because if dozens of comments were received, reading the comments into the record would reduce valuable time from council business.
Pope made the motion to designate a policy allowing online comments for consid-eration to be forwarded to council members prior to the meeting. Those comments would not need to be read aloud into the record but would be summarized – consistent with the policy for people who speak at meetings – and entered into meeting minutes. The council ap-proved the policy 4-0 (Councilwoman Pat Anderson absent). To submit an online com-ment card, visit www.oakleyinfo.com.

debts on his Jaguar XJ.“He lived high on the hog,” said Mc-
Cormick. “Not only did he fl y to Israel but he took private tours and wined and dined his way through the country. You should see the number of charges for restaurants.
“The other thing that is shocking is that the church has an old dilapidated trailer on their property. It’s got plywood on the sides
and it’s in pretty terrible shape, but they use it for church things. This guy (Pineda) goes out and buys a brand-new spanking trailer for himself and hides it on his property. It’s pretty amazing.”
McCormick said the Live Oaks situation had undeniable similarities to another recent Oakley church scandal.
“It’s a little like the Jerry Hanoum situ-ation,” said McCormick of the Mountain
View Christian Center pastor who killed him-self in May following accusations of question-able fi nancial dealings. “It’s very sad. These people are paying for someone else’s greed. This (Live Oaks) is a very sweet, small church with a small congregation, and they are hav-ing to pay on a debt that they had nothing to do with.”
Pineda was fi red from the church in 2009 when his deception was discovered. The DA’s
offi ce dismissed two additional felony counts of fi ling false documents in exchange for Pine-da’s plea to felony grand theft.
Pineda’s restitution hearing is scheduled for Jan. 13.
“There will be a hearing and that will de-termine how much Mr. Pineda should be ob-ligated to pay off the church’s mortgage,” said McCormick. “Hopefully it will be an amount that will help the church.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITORErrors in Nix opinion column
In response to questions concern-ing his Guest Comment in last week’s edition of The Press, former City Councilman and Mayor Brad Nix issued the following statements via e-mail:
Nix claimed in his column that the Oakley Redevelopment Agency spent $12 million to purchase 7 acres and three buildings on Main Street, including the Centromart store. The purchase was made for $6 million.
This week, Nix said, “I saw the $12 million fi gure in a news headline and used that number from memory. I was not able to fi nd that article again … I do appear to be in error re the amount.”
Concerning his assertion that $500,000 was spent on equipment to broadcast City Council meetings, Nix said Wednesday that he took the num-ber from estimates for City Hall expan-sion work provided by City Manager Bryan Montgomery while Nix was a city councilman. A project estimate sheet from the contractor reviewed by
The Press this week, however, indicates the cost for all audio-visual equipment in the entire city hall (of which the TV equipment was only a part) was to be approximately $110,000.
Said Nix on Wednesday, “I have spoken to the provider of the AV equipment since the article was writ-ten, who gave me a fi gure off the top of his head of $150,000 for his equip-ment. I can only conclude that Mr. Montgomery’s fi gures for AV included related furnishings for the AV equip-ment and/or wiring work, possibly the council desks etc.” Nix’s state-ment did not address the discrepancy between the $150,000 and his original claim of $500,000.
Concerning his comments that Montgomery had improperly fi red an employee who fi led suit against Oak-ley, Montgomery said this week that no such lawsuits have been fi led. Nix said Wednesday that he was attempt-ing to contact a former city attorney for particulars, but had been unable to do so by press time.
Phony propagandaEditor:
In response to Brad Nix’s recent guest comment, “Restore honesty in Oakley government” last week, a great injustice has occurred by the publish-ing of that editorial. It was nothing more than a hit job against this city. I am surprised that as a former council-member himself he is arrogant to think people have such short attention spans. It’s actually quite bizarre.
Mr. Nix knows very well the coun-cil and Mr. Montgomery are not in a position to defend themselves and took advantage of the situation. His com-ment was irresponsible and disgusting. The Oakley Press should also take blame for publishing it without fact checking.
In regard to the $50,000 deferral of payments, Mr. Nix makes it out like the city gave Mr. Montgomery a blank check. The reality is, no money exchanged and the two-year defer-ral is put on the back end of the loan – meaning two additional years of principal and interest will be paid at the end of the loan.
He then states public corruption in the form of a Brown Act violation. He claims Mayor Jim Frazier has had a previous Brown Act violation while on the Planning Commission, claiming he was warned by the former city at-torney. If this was true, what happened and where is the record? There is none! Let’s pretend this did occur; it does not mean he was guilty of an actual viola-tion. Truth is: Mr. Nix is wrong about previous Brown Act violations.
In terms of the most recent incident, how does he know a Brown Action violation occurred? Was he present to witness this firsthand? As an attorney, he should have more com-mon sense to realize that if a council rescinds a deal and takes no action,
a violation by law does not occur. Instead, he stretched the truth to make people look bad. Without a guilty ver-dict via investigation, one should keep accusations to oneself.
Mr. Nix moves on and accuses Mr. Montgomery of improperly firing an employee that resulted in an “unneces-sary” lawsuit. He fails to provide any circumstances of this employee’s termi-nation. He is of the opinion this was a bad judgment, but it doesn’t mean Mr. Montgomery’s actions were not war-ranted or not in the best interests of the organization. Mr. Nix provided no details to back up his example of poor judgment.
In hit-and-run fashion, he imme-diately moved onto the claim that the city spent $500,000 on audio-visual (AV) equipment for the council cham-ber, and then claims it doesn’t work well enough to televise meetings.
On Nov. 25, 2008, while a council-member, Mr. Nix was quoted that the estimate to broadcast the council meet-ings would be a one-time $15,000 fee, with an annual $10,000 maintenance cost. This is a far cry from $500,000.
According to an Oct. 10, 2008 posting on Councilmember Kevin Romick’s blog, it explains the council chambers as follows: The chambers includes four plasma TVs that serve as displays for cameras, computers and to play DVDs. A plasma TV is also included in the lobby to allow viewing of meetings outside of the chambers. The council meetings will be recorded by a DVR. Council members will have computer access from the dais.
All one has to do is look at the contract between the city and Scheer Home Systems to see the city spent just under $95,000 to broadcast the council meetings. If the AV system does not work properly, rather than attack the council, maybe Mr. Nix should hold the vendor accountable – after all, Scheer Home Systems is the electronics expert, not the council.
Next he claims the council wasted $12 million in redevelopment dollars for Centro-Mart, which is wrong. The entire purchase was for a 7-acre parcel that included Centro-Mart and many other addresses for a total of $6 mil-lion. In fact, on March 17, 2011, the Oakley Press ran an article about this very purchase. The city actually saved $1.6 million in the deal. Rather than fib about the purchase, Mr. Nix should say thank you for the savings.
Finally, Mr. Nix takes a cheap shot at councilmember Pat Anderson about the Montgomery bonus by using a quote, “If we like you, we take care of you …” He claimed this was from a local newspaper. I request proof this
article even exists. Ms. Anderson has not made that statement at any of the council meetings since the mortgage deal came to light.
As a former city leader, Mr. Nix should know better than to tarnish the city name with bad information. To engage in an honest debate, Mr. Nix must immediately: 1. Apologize to Mr. Montgomery. 2. Apologize to the council. 3. Issue a written apology in the Oakley Press.
Oakley is a beautiful town full of good hardworking people who are honest. We do not need phony pro-paganda ruining its good name by a bully.

Outpouring for homeless studentsEditor:
On behalf of Liberty Union High School District, I would like to thank everyone in the community for the outpouring of support and concern expressed for our homeless students. Many of you have called and e-mailed asking how you can help, what you can give, and where you can go to help the homeless students in our district.
We are fortunate to receive fund-ing through the McKinney Vento
grant that allows me to purchase some supplies for our students to help them succeed in school during this stressful time. Because of the sensitive nature of their situation, what I do to provide for our students usually occurs on a confidential one-to-one basis, as the district needs to protect the identity of homeless students and their families.
The grant does not provide for all of their needs, so if you would like to donate gift cards to stores such as Target or Walmart, we can use them for items that will help students at-tend school on a regular basis, such as school and personal hygiene supplies, warm clothing and shoes.
For those of you want to donate clothing, food or other items, please contact your local food banks, charita-ble organizations and churches, as they are set up to accept these items and distribute them in the community.
Again, thank you for all of your thoughtfulness on behalf of our students. If you would like to contact me, I can be reached at Liberty Union High School District: 925-634-2166, ext. 2047, 20 Oak St., Brentwood, CA 94513.

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage MattersBy Trevor Frey
NASCAR
– Advertisement
Have you ever wondered just what
it takes to become a NASCAR driver? I
have. Before doing my research I thought,
“Just how hard can it be to hold the pedal to
the fl oor and the wheel to the left ?” Well,
as it turns out there is much more to the
competitive sport and NASCAR has truly
evolved from its down south origins: a
disorganized competitive outlet for illegal
whiskey traffi ckers in the south, where guys
honed their driving skills by evading law
enforcement and tax collectors. Drivers
in the twenty fi rst century have to be in
excellent physical condition, intelligent
enough to communicate with their crew, and
dedicated enough to excel in many lower
levels – the Busch Cup and the Nationwide
Series – before being allowed to compete at
NASCAR’s highest level, the NASCAR Sprint
Cup Series.
So just like NASCAR wouldn’t allow
a Busch Cup driver onto a super speed way
such as Daytona for a Sprint Cup Series race,
you shouldn’t let a bank teller, or a bank’s
registered loan offi cer into the driver’s seat of
your home’s fi nancial future.
A bank’s registered loan offi cer, in the
mortgage world, is equivalent to a Busch Cup
driver. Th ey go through routine background
checks – preformed by the bank they work
for – and that’s it. It is as simple as “today’s
rate is xyz.” Th ey handle your mortgage,
your bank account(s), and in some cases
your car loan. Th at would be as if a stock car
driver was responsible for driving the car,
wrenching on the car, and at the same time
somehow maintaining his or her own lap
times. Although they could be great at what
they do, overall they are still learning their
craft and do not dedicate 100% of their focus
on the home loan side of things.
On the other hand, a licensed mortgage
loan originator could be compared to a
Sprint Cup Series caliper driver. Th ey have
put their time in, taken on an extensive
program to earn their credentials, and
truly earned the privilege of assisting with
your mortgage. Th ey’re required to take
on twenty hours of nationally sanctioned
classes, pass a national exam and a separate
state exam, as well as subject themselves to a
FBI criminal background check. From there
an annual credit report is pulled to ensure
they’re not mishandling their own credit and
they’re listed on a na-tional website for all
consumers to see. Overall they truly respect
you, the consumer, their profession, and
themselves.
To check the track record of your
mortgage loan originator visit www.
nmlsconsumeraccess.org. My “driver’s
license” number is 240131 and I encourage
you to view the stats of any potential
mortgage loan originator, or “driver,” you’ll
be allowing to drive for your family.
As always, I welcome all questions and
or concerns pertaining to real estate lending

Devilish decisionHeritage High senior pitcher Paul Black-
burn has decided his future could use more sun – Sun Devils, that is.
Blackburn on Wednesday signed his let-ter of intent to attend Arizona State, becom-ing the second Patriots baseball player to join a Pac-12 Conference school. Earlier this year, recently graduated rightfi elder Ryan Howell signed on to attend Oregon State.
Heritage manager Kevin Brannan is looking forward to watching the two former teammates square off. “Looking back on it, he probably could’ve been on varsity as a freshman,” Brannan said of Blackburn. “He’s a kid that wants to be on the mound in the big games.”
As a junior, Blackburn established him-
self as one of the most talented hurlers in the Bay Valley Athletic League. In the 2011 sea-son, when he was named league MVP, Black-burn went 8-3 with three saves and a 1.27 earned run average. He fanned 84 batters, sec-ond on the team to Jack Jorgenson, and held opposing hitters to a .220 batting average.
He said he chose to become a Sun Devil because of his affi nity with the coaches and the school’s pedigree. Arizona State manager Tim Esmay was the Pac-12 Coach of the Year in 2010, and the Sun Devils boast alumni such as Barry Bonds, Reggie Jackson and Dustin Pedroia.
“I’ve worked hard to try and get where I am, and Arizona State is one of the best programs in the country,” Blackburn said. “They’ve had a lot of success. And it’s sunny every day, so you can’t go wrong with that.”

Oakley jet skier soars at competition
Derrick Kemnitz Jr. describes himself as a normal 18-year-old kid from Oakley. While that’s true, one thing that sets the 2011 Freedom High graduate apart is his prowess on a jet ski. In that regard, Kemnitz is far from normal.
In the recent International Jet Boat Association World Finals at Lake Havasu, Ariz., Kemnitz beat 12 competitors from around the world to take the amateur freestyle title. His goal going in was to earn a top-three fi nish and end up somewhere on the podium.
“We built a nicely tuned ski,” Kemnitz said. “Hear-ing the judges call out my name for fi rst place was huge shocker. I was really stoked.”
Kemnitz’s love of jet skiing comes from his dad and coach, Derrick Sr. Five years ago, the younger Kemnitz began jet skiing. In 2010, he participated in the amateur freestyle event and, according to his standards, didn’t fi n-ish well. He attributed that to focusing too much on rac-ing, and not on the freestyle element.
This year, Kemnitz placed more emphasis on his bag of tricks. Working at The Ski Clinic in Antioch, which his family owns, gave Kemnitz and his dad the opportu-nity to get out on the water and broaden his repertoire.
“We’d wait for the right time of day when it gets qui-et,” Derrick Sr. said. “I’d send him out on his own and watch him ride. Then he’d come back, I give him some pointers, making sure his head is on right, and send him back out. As we got closer to the fi nals, we would do that three times a week. It seemed to work out really well.”
After winning the amateur level, Kemnitz partici-pated in the professional event – a 16-man fi eld that, ironically, included his father. Kemnitz fi nished ninth
there, a result he hopes to improve on in 2012.To do that, he and his dad believe the tricks need
to get even bigger. Since the professional level requires no wasted motion, Derrick Sr. sees that as the greater adjustment for his son.
“It’s one after another, after another,” Derrick Sr. said. “When he lands a trick, he needs to do another instantly. Of course, the equipment will better allow for that now that he’s on the pro class.”
While Kemnitz described the supporting entourage that journeyed to Lake Havasu as a “caravan,” he consid-ers his parents, Derrick Sr. and Taunia, his biggest sup-port system.
“He started out doing little bunny hops,” Taunia said. “He was practicing all the time and wanted to reach the podium. When they called his name, a rush of emo-tions went through me. I’m so proud of him.”

Vet remembers what matters most
The memories come slowly to Jack Papazian. Settled deeply into a comfort-able chair at Cortona Park, the 90-year-old veteran’s eyes gaze out from beneath a black ball cap that reads “USS Putnam, DD-757,” the front-row seat from which the radioman second class experienced some of the semi-nal events of World War II in the Pacifi c.
When Pearl Harbor was attacked in 1941, the 21-year-old Papazian was working odd jobs in Detroit, and he knew what had to be done – at least in general. He knew he had to enlist, but saw little difference in the various branches of service. So in February of 1942, he joined the Navy to do his part – whatever that might turn out to be.
“I didn’t even think about it,” he said. “It was the thing to do, what had to be done.”
Papazian spent his fi rst years in the Navy operating his radio from a remote is-land in Alaska’s Aleutian Islands. In 1944, however, he became one of the inaugural crew of the destroyer USS Putnam, and duty got far more hazardous.
The Putnam arrived at Iwo Jima on D-Day, Feb. 19, 1945, supporting the invasion by pounding Japanese positions with her six 5-inch guns. At night, she crept dangerously close to shore to fi re “star” shells that illu-minated Japanese troop concentrations as the battle raged. All the while, Radioman Papazian sat at his post on the ship’s bridge, keeping the ship in touch.
However, asked about the sound, fury and spectacle of it all, Papazian struggles to recall. “I can’t remember,” he said with
a shrug and a slight shake of his head. It’s an answer he re-turns to frequently during the interview, though his misty eyes seem to suggest that the memories are still there.
Life in the Navy “was hard at fi rst, but I got used to it,” he said. He’d left behind his sweetheart, Pat, whom he’d met at the age of 10 and would return from war to marry. Pat helped build bombers while Jack was away, getting love letters up to twice a week from her sailor.
“He was really good about writing,” said Pat, add-ing that his letters didn’t allude to what he’d been up to.
“I couldn’t talk about work” because it was classi-fi ed, Jack said. “I just told her how much I loved her.”
In fact, most of Jack’s memories are of Pat. Hers was the only picture he hung on the walls around his tiny, three-deep bunk. When things got frightening, it was Pat who helped him stay calm from thousands of miles away.
“I thought about her,” he said, nodding toward her as she smiled in return. “That’s it. I thought about her.”
He thought about her when, off the coast of Okinawa, kamikaze planes at-tacked the Putnam. In one attack, as four of the suicidal Japanese pilots tried to ram her, the ship’s three dozen anti-aircraft guns shot down three of them. The fourth, according to reports at the time, was destroyed when an American pilot knocked it out of the sky by crashing into it with his own plane. Papa-

zian confi rmed that it happened, but under gentle probing his eyes again got misty, he shrugged, and said, “I don’t remember.”
The Putnam also received commenda-tions for rescuing 118 sailors from an am-munition ship that had been torpedoed, venturing close enough to pluck survivors from the water despite exploding ammuni-tion from the other ship. Reminded of the incident, Papazian got misty, nodded silent-ly, and shrugged.
His face lit up, however, when asked about coming home at war’s end. He re-members riding to Pat’s house on a streetcar in Oakland, his seabag over his shoulder. He remembers hugging her for a long time, and
Pat smiles as she remembers, too. The couple has fi ve children, seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
World War II veterans, it’s said, are passing away at the rate of 1,000 per day. Unfortunately, they take with them many of the memories of a pivotal time in Ameri-can history. For many of those who remain, those memories grow foggier by the day.
Jack Papazian seems to be OK with that, though. The thing to remember, he said, is not what he went through, but “what the country went through.” His own memo-ries of the war might be fading fast, but what carried him through it is still fresh in his mind, and sitting across from him, smiling.
