PD: dog attacks unrelated by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer San Leandro Police Department (SLPD) officials say that attacks last December on three Brentwood dogs in two separate incidents allegedly by an off-duty police canine are unrelated. “Based on descriptions by witnesses and interviews conducted, we have determined that the two events are not related,� said SLPD Lt. Jeff Tudor. “The other incident did not involve our dog.� The investigation into the Dec. 26 events that occurred just two miles from each other near the Marsh Creek Trail began last month following a report from a woman who claims her two Pomeranians were attacked when a German shepherd broke loose from a group of people at a nearby park. The incident occurred just hours before the fatal mauling of a Finnish Spitz showdog by an off-duty police dog. Lori Vogt, who was visiting her sister in Brentwood at the time, said the German shepherd – who was part of a group of dogs, adults and children – suddenly attacked her two dogs as she was sitting on the grass with her animals in her lap. No one was injured in the attack. But later that day, Adam Lovell’s dog Chloe wasn’t so lucky. While walking the Finnish Spitz on a trail near Sand Creek Road on the afternoon of Dec. 26, Lovell met up with a group of children, adults and dogs. One of the animals was Arago, a German shepherd from the SLPD canine unit who was being walked by a family member of the handler.
Lovell said that when he spotted the group coming toward him, he immediately put Chloe – who was leashed – on his left side in order to protect her. But when the dog lunged at Chloe, Lovell was unable to stop the attack. The Finnish Spitz was bitten five to six times on her rear, side and back by the police dog, and underwent three hours of emergency surgery. She died from her injuries two days later. Vogt, who lives in Cloverdale, didn’t report the incident at the time, but said when she saw a newscast about the later dog mauling, she realized that the animal that attack her pets might have been the same dog. She contacted the SLPD, and a few days later, an investigator met with her and took her statement. Now that the department has determined that the two incidents are unrelated, Vogt doesn’t know what to think. “I’m surprised, because in my experience, lightning doesn’t strike twice,� said Vogt. “I find it interesting and too much of a coincidence, but if that’s what they (SLPD) are saying, then we have to live with that decision. “I’m glad if it wasn’t the same dog, but if that’s the case, then we’ve got one dog still out there and now Brentwood has two dogs to worry about instead of one.� Tudor says that the police dog – and his handler – will remain on active duty as the investigation of the second incident continues. “The investigation is still underway and the dog and the handler are still working,� said Tudor. “That’s all I can tell you right now.� To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

The Highway 4 Bypass was closed in both directions Tuesday afternoon following a collision near the Lone Tree Way off-ramp just before 1 p.m. Brentwood Police Sgt. Walter O’Grodnick said a woman driving a Toyota SUV southbound on the Bypass near Lone Tree Way crossed the center median and sideswiped a northbound Chevrolet Suburban being driven by a male adult. The impact caused both vehicles to roll over and come to rest on their roofs.
The male was ejected from his vehicle. O’Grodnick said it was still unclear if he was wearing a seatbelt at the time. Neither victim sustained life-threatening injuries, O’Grodnick said. Both were transported to local hospitals by helicopter, and the Bypass was re-opened after about an hour. Additional information was not available at press time. The crash is being investigated by the Brentwood Police.

Highway 4 widening moves along by Justin Lafferty Staff Writer
Despite the uncertainty of the proposed eBART station at Hillcrest Avenue, the widening of Highway 4 appears to be on schedule and should be finished by the end of 2014. Susan Miller, the Contra Costa Transportation Authority’s director of projects, gave an update at Tuesday’s Antioch City Council meeting on the project that will widen the freeway from two to four lanes from Loveridge Road in Pittsburg to Hillcrest Avenue in Antioch. The entire project is estimated to cost more than $500 million – most of which comes from Measure J tax dollars and money from state and federal sources. “We’ve been very successful in applying those dollars to Highway 4,” Miller said. “We’ve leveraged a lot of state and federal funds.” The project carves out room in the Highway 4 median for BART lines from the Pittsburg/Bay Point Station to the proposed eBART stop at Hillcrest Avenue. Antioch, however, has been unhappy with BART’s proposal and could pull out of the eBART project. At Tuesday’s meeting, City Council members asked how the eBART controversy could affect the widening project. Miller said that although the two projects go hand-in-hand, the Highway 4 work would continue should Antioch nix the eBART proposal. Antioch’s withdrawal from eBART,

The Contra Costa Transit Authority plans to close the Century Boulevard undercrossing next month, as workers move ahead with the widening of Highway 4. however, would make an impact on the planning process. “We decided that the structures in the median would be designed for any mode,” Miller said. “I would hate to see a situation where we have to redo plans, we have to slow down the freeway schedule if there’s changes in the decision on the eBART project. I personally have been involved in both these projects for a very long time and I can understand the city’s concerns, but I’ve been so excited to finally see some of this come to reality, and to think that we’re going to have

some service and some transit extension so badly needed into East County.” In a PowerPoint presentation, Miller showed plans for the future, as well as the design of the retaining walls skirting the freeway. The walls will be etched with depictions of vegetation and marsh life, an homage to the Delta. In response to concerns about the potential for graffiti, Miller said that the color of the walls is the same color of the paint that CalTrans workers keep in their trucks. Any graffiti on the retaining walls or the sound-
walls would be removed in a timely fashion. City Council member Gary Agopian stressed the need for the freeway improvements to reflect a positive image for the city. “I’m envisioning, and I think the public is envisioning, three great entrances into Antioch,” Agopian said. “It’s very, very important that the quality of the appearance is at an excellent level. Not an average or belowaverage level. This is very critical for the image of our city.” This month, workers are laying down concrete on the segment from Loveridge Road to Somersville Road and putting up soundwalls. Next month, they will close the undercrossing at Century Boulevard to work on that part of the freeway. In April, contractors plan to start pile driving for the southbound Loveridge Road bridge. Work on the stretch from Somersville to L Street should begin in March and end by June of 2013. The segment from L Street to Lone Tree Way is slated to start in December, be finished in September of 2014. The final phase of the project – from Lone Tree Way to Highway 160 – should begin in March of 2012 and be completed by the end of 2014. Miller said the authority will work with local schools as workers temporarily close overcrossings at G and L streets in Antioch in the coming years. “I’m encouraged by the progress I’ve seen out there,” Mayor Jim Davis said. “The finishing dates look really encouraging.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Hunting for local history Discovery Bay resident Virgil Koehne solved last month’s History Mystery by correctly identifying the images in an old postcard. Koehne, the Discovery Bay water and wastewater manager, and his colleague, Sue Heinl, identified all four images in the postcard. Clockwise from the top left, are a view of the boats from resident Brian Dove’s backyard, the Discovery Bay Marina, the lake aerator providing additional oxygen, and a magnificent sunset view of Mount Diablo taken from the morning side of the mountain. Koehne also located three additional postcards of Discovery Bay of the same era plus a box of early sales brochures, model descriptions and advertising material. No early postcards were included in the material, so the hunt for the elusive Discovery Bay postcard published prior to 1980 continues. Koehne said the town would like to feature early history of the community at the proposed civic center, and encourages residents with early ephemera to bring them forward. Longtime homeowners Peter and Verna Normann responded that their property was purchased in 1975 when Wells Fargo Bank was begging customers to buy lots. But the Normanns don’t recall any postcards – only foldout, full-page colored ads. For correctly identifying the History Mystery, Koehne earns a donation made on his behalf to the John Marsh Historic Trust. – Contributed by Carol Jensen

Cherry’s Tax Facts... By Cherry Comstock
Paychecks a little bigger lately???? Last year we had a “Making Work Pay� credit. That credit expired December 31, 2010. This year we have a new provision many of us are calling the “Payroll Tax Holiday.� This only affects “wage earners.� That is, if you work for someone and receive a payroll check (you get a W-2 at the end of the year). BUT, this is a TWO PERCENT reduction in the amount of Social Security (OASDI) payroll tax withheld from your paycheck, from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent. The reduction applies to all wage earners regardless of income. The employer’s share of payroll taxes is unaffected (they still pay the full 6.2%). Self-employed individuals will also see a two percent reduction. This reduction will have no effect on an individual’s future Social Security benefits. This benefit will expire at the end of 2011, so without Congressional action, the rate will return to normal in 2012.

This is a wonderful school and I’m happy to be here.” Walsh has 26 years of experience in education, working primarily in high schools, where he started as a math teacher, eventually working his way up to the position of principal at Palm Desert High School in Southern California, where he served for 12 years. While Walsh is still getting to know the Liberty community, he has already established some goals and is working on outlines to achieve them. His top priority is improvsee Principal page 18A
Short sales take a LOT of work just to get them to the point where the lender(s) approve the terms of the deal. Many listing agents hire a third party negotiating company, either just to save the agent’s time, or they may feel the third party company will have a better success rate, or both. The listing agent has a choice, to either pay the fee themselves out of their commission, or have someone else pay it. If the listing agent pays it themselves, it’s usually fine. It’s when they ask someone else to pay that it can get troublesome. If they ask the seller to pay, the seller’s lender may have an issue with that, thinking that if the seller has any “extra” money, that should go to the lender. If they ask the lender to pay it, the lender will often turn it down, as they consider the commission to be sufficient compensation. If they ask the buyer’s agent to pay it, the buyer’s agent will probably retort, “That’s your job, you pay it if you want.” That leaves the buyer. We are seeing some listings where the buyer is being required to pay the fee directly to the nego-
tiating company. But when this fee shows up on the closing documents, the seller’s lender may not allow it. Their feeling is that the buyer would have discounted this fee off the price of the house. Having the buyer pay it outside the closing statement to hide it from the lender could be illegal. Some agents are asking the buyer to ask for a credit for “closing costs” as part of their offer, and then this credit goes to the negotiating company, or directly to the listing agent to reimburse them for paying the fee. The California Department of Real Estate is concerned about this approach and has issued a directive advising against it. There are issues with agency, violation of fiduciary duty, non-disclosed dual agency, not to mention that disguising a negotiating fee as something else in order to “slide it past the lender at closing” is loan fraud.

Moms and dads looking for serious guidance – or even a few refresher tips – might want to consider enrolling in Parent University. On Feb. 26, the Oakley Union School District hosts Parent University; a districtwide informational event designed for parents and families. Through a series of workshops highlighting such topics as homework, parenting strategies and even nutrition and exercise, Parent University creates an atmosphere of education and support in a non-threatening, welcoming environment. “Teachers are a really great resource for parents,” said Michele Gaudinier, Iron House Elementary principal. “And what I’m hoping will come of this event is that parents will take home something that helps them, helps their children and helps their relationship with educators. I’m very excited about it.” Held from 9 a.m. to noon at Iron House Elementary School, the event features booths and displays from organizations such as First Five, the Contra Costa County Child Abuse Council and local sports groups. Translators are on hand, childcare is provided, and beverages and snacks are available for purchase. Workshop topics include kindergarten readiness, the school budget, English language strategies, GATE information, special education, reading fluency, mental math strategies, grade school to middle school transitioning,

nutrition and fitness, motivational parenting techniques, homework tips and tricks, health and wellness, and technology information. Sessions begin on the hour and last 50 minutes. All sessions, taught by district professionals, are held at least twice. Roger Macdonald, principal at O’Hara Park Middle School, said some of his staff and students will be on hand to serve as middle school ambassadors to incoming students and their families. “Our leadership kids and some of our students will be there to talk about leadership opportunities and peer conflict,” said Macdonald. “We want the younger kids – and their parents – to know that as scary as middle school can be, there is also lots of support. We’ll talk about curriculum, programs and structure. It will be a great, worthwhile event.”
But the program also offers something equally as important: an opportunity for parents to network with other families and students in an atmosphere of camaraderie and support. “It’s a nice chance for parents to talk to each other and share some of their experiences and questions,” said Gaudinier. And if all goes well, might Parent University become a regular deal? “I would love for this to be an annual thing,” said Gaudinier. “That way we could tailor it and change what we find isn’t working and keep what does. That would be great.” Pre-registration for Parent University is requested. Iron House Elementary School is located at 4801 Frank Hengel Way.

Operating more than 900 centers throughout North America, Sylvan Learning is the leading provider of tutoring services to children of all ages and skill levels. “Children who read regularly at home do better in school and become enthusiastic lifelong readers,” said Richard Treff of Sylvan Learning Center of Oakley. “By encouraging children to read at home, parents can help their children establish an enduring love of books, transforming reading from a basic skill to a pleasurable activity.” Sylvan Learning recommends that parents spend at least one hour per week – 10 to 15 minutes per day – reading with their children. “Reading is an adventure that begins early in a child’s life and should extend beyond the classroom,” Treff added. “Children exhibit certain reading behaviors at a young age and by understanding and nurturing these behaviors, parents can make reading fun and motivate their child to develop a lifelong friendship with books.” Pre-kindergarten and kindergarten • Make cookies together.

Liberty student a woodshop wonder by Samie Hartley Staff Writer If you pay a visit to the Liberty Union High School District office in the next few weeks, make sure to take a moment to admire the footstool encased in glass at the right of the lobby. The stool is made of red oak, carved to incorporate heart shaped accents. A row of five hearts is precisely shaped to form a ribbon along the sides, and if you look closely, the space between the legs of the stool forms a heart as well. It’s a remarkable piece of craftsmanship, but what’s most extraordinary about the stool is that it was designed and built by Liberty High School junior Katharina Durand, who has been studying woodworking for only a year and a half. “It’s a work of art,” said woodworking teacher Chris McDermott. “This piece is the first in my shop to ever garner so much attention. This stool started out as an old, dusty, raggedy piece of wood, and now look at it. It’s exquisite. I’m encouraging Katharina to enter it into high school competitions and the county fair. This piece is going to the state fair – no doubt about it.” Katharina blushes as her teacher and mentor praises her skills. When she first entered McDermott’s shop as a sophomore in 2009, she had no idea she would find her calling.

Liberty High School junior Katharina Durand’s hand-crafted footstool is now on display at the district office in Brentwood. Teacher Chris McDermott said Katharina is one of his best students ever. “I heard in middle school that there was a woodshop class at the high school, and I thought it might be fun,” Katharina said. “I was just curious. I didn’t get it as my elective freshman year, but I got in as a sophomore, and I just fell in love with it. I like taking an idea and then making it happen. At first it seemed like something

that might be a hobby, but now I want to pursue it as a career. This is what I love.” Katharina has completed a series of projects, including a clock, candy dispenser and hope chest in which she handcarved the name of the chest’s future owner. As she continues to challenge herself, she’s set her sights on making a chair by the end of the school year. McDermott said he’s never seen a student of Katharina’s caliber in his 10 years teaching at Liberty. In fact, she might be the best student he’s ever encountered. He recognized her talent within the first few days of class, taking note of her unbreakable focus and attention to detail. “In all my years as a woodworking teacher, I’ve never seen talent like hers,”
McDermott said. “She mastered the basics in no time, and as a teacher, you live for that moment when you see the light go on inside a student’s mind – that ‘Aha!’ moment. I could see it in her facial expressions that it was all clicking for her, and it’s clear to see in her work that she has a natural gift.” In the class, students are able to move at their own pace, practicing new skills and applying them to appropriate projects. Katharina said the shop gets loud as students operate numerous machines, but when’s she’s working, she doesn’t hear a thing. “I go to this quiet place in my mind,” she explained. “I get into this zone. I’m so focused that it’s like everything around me disappears.” District Superintendent Jerry Glenn recognized Katharina’s work at a January board meeting and encouraged everyone in attendance to admire it as they left the meeting. Katharina said she’s honored by the attention, but it’s the respect from her peers that means the most to her. She’s not only one of McDermott’s students; she’s a peer tutor. “I was excited that he (McDermott) picked me to be the peer tutor, but I was worried that the older students and the boys wouldn’t ask for my help, but it’s not like that at all,” she said. “At first, I was so surprised that they’d come to me for advice or just to get encouragement that they’re on the right track. Now I’m comfortable and I go around to everyone and bug them and ask them what they’re working on. It’s fun to be in that environment where everyone is building and creating.” McDermott said he hopes other students will be invited to display their work in the district office. To view Katharina’s heart-accented footstool, visit the district office at 20 Oak St. in Brentwood. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage Matters One Love (1% Down-payment) This single, released in 1976 by Bob Marley and The Wailers, combined with other hits such as “Waiting in Vain” and “Jamming,” helped keep the bands “Exodus” album on the British album charts for 56 consecutive weeks. That same year, “One Love” was one of the determining factors for Rolling Stone as the magazine awarded its prestigious Band of the Year award to Bob Marley and The Wailers. Last but not least “One Love” was one of the many reasons that in 1999 Time Magazine recognized Bob Marley and The Wailer’s “Exodus” album as the greatest album of the 20th century. Diving deeper into the music, we’re able to see that Bob Marley’s lyrics were a telling story, if not acting as a reflection of his Rastafarian religious beliefs. It is in this context that we can break down “One Love” to its religious meaning of LOVE for others, for our fellow-man – the meaning of charity in human endeavors. And it is in this light that we’ll find the true subject matter for this article. Once again seeing a need to aid and assist our current real estate market, the California Housing Finance Agency, otherwise known as CalHFA, has completely revamped their home loan programs. According to Steve Spears, acting Director for the California Housing Finance Agency, “While the financial market turmoil continues and California faces unique challenges economically, there is perhaps no more important time for our agency to

work on behalf of families statewide.” This is an agency that puts its money where its mouth is: Since the agency’s creation in 1975, CalHFA has helped over 150,000 California families realize their dream of homeownership by using over $18 billion in non-taxpayer funds to secure low rate fixed mortgages, as well as offer down payment assistance programs. Their latest effort to help “first time buyers” – those who have not claimed any mortgage interest on their tax returns in the last three years – comes in the form of an AMAZING down payment assistance program. And although the guidelines are tighter, and more restrictive than before, the payoff is truly worth it…California is willing to cover 99% of a buyer’s down-payment. In other words those who qualify for the state’s program will only have to put 1% of their own money towards their down-payment. If you’re buying a home for $200,000 instead of bringing in the minimum FHA down payment of 3.5%, or $6,500, you’ll only need to bring in 1%, or $2,000! In order to offer this product you have to be CalHFA certified, which I am. Call me and in the words of Bob Marley, “Let’s get together and feel alright.” If you have any real estate lending related questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to write me at tfreymortgages@ yahoo.com, or call me directly on my cell phone.

Eagle candidate seeks garden gear Eagle Scout candidate Benjamin Painter has spearheaded an effort to bring gardening to students at Independence High School. On Saturday, Feb. 5, Benjamin led a group of Boy Scout volunteers to build and install garden boxes on the school campus. The garden was created to serve Independence High School students as well as developmentally disabled students at the neighboring Gateway program. The garden is designed for all ability levels and includes a planting box created to accommodate wheelchairs. The shared space
will provide an outdoor classroom where students will plant and care for flowers, fruit and vegetables. A grant from the Liberty Union High School District Educational Foundation provided initial funding for the garden. However, supplies are still needed. Donations including soil, plants, seeds, gardening tools, green houses and fruit trees would be greatly appreciated. If you have items to donate, call Mel Kysh at 925-634-2589, ext. 1027 or Joy Crum at ext. 1061. – Contributed by Kristen La Follette

Library’s magic touch Eagle extolled by Austin Miles Correspondent For a writer, the opening of a new library is always a happy occasion. Especially when it does so with a magic touch, as presented by prestidigitator Timothy James. The tall, slim man with a distinctive sculptured face instantly draws you to him as a confident person who knows exactly what he is doing. So you settle back expectantly from the instant he walks into the room where he makes the impossible possible. Possessing a great sense of humor and in full command of his audience, it’s no wonder that James has become so popular. The room for his Saturday, Jan. 29 show was quickly jam-packed with both adults and kids. Those who didn’t get a chair lined up across the entire back wall and sides. James has built quite a following in Northern California with his library shows, kids shows, trade shows, corporate events, comedy clubs and shipboard cruises. He’s also involved in the California Magic Dinner Theatre in Martinez, where he’ll be performing the first week in March. To say he’s a topnotch entertainer doesn’t do him justice. He’s far more than that. For example, using just a piece of rope, he held the audience spellbound for more than 15 minutes with incredible effects that left audience members with dropped jaws. While this performance was billed for kids, the adults – including this writer – were every bit as flabbergasted, amazed, dumbfounded and
even laughing out loud no matter what had been on their mind when they came in. This, of course, defines a true entertainer. His “patter” lines were original. His bit with a “raccoon” in a small garbage can marked “Danger!” was a masterpiece – the lifelike way the raccoon moved, the objects that it used, a ladder that draped over the side, a flag of surrender and the final feat in which a little girl from the audience held out a safety net. A toaster between them began to smoke, a deck of cards that had been shuffled with a secretly chosen card suddenly blew out of the toaster in a stream, and a puppet (like the human cannonball of the circus) shot out and flew though that stream, landing safely in the net with the selected card pinned to its nose. The spanking new Antioch Community Center Library building is itself a jewel in the “Gateway of The Delta,” as the area is called. It houses one of the finest gyms in the area, where a basketball game was being held on this grand opening day. There are community rooms for banquets, special meetings and presentations. There is a full computer section off the library, which is small at the moment, but the librarian will order patrons any book they want from other libraries. The Antioch Community Center Library is located next to Prewett Family Water Park on 4703 Lone Tree Way. It is well worth stopping by. The Center includes a ballroom that can be used as a theater, seating 700, or for dining. The outdoor amphitheater seats 300 and the plaza 116 – ideal for authors’ readings and much more.

You’ve got to be kidding Editor: I’m appalled at how some residents and neighbors in our community have a need to find controversy in the most benign of topics. The Discovery Bay CSD’s recent board policy to no longer accept cash is a smart move for efficiency, safety and liability. The CSD is not a retail outlet selling everyday merchandise to the public. Accepting cash requires a whole array of procedures and controls to insure the proper counting, bookkeeping, safekeeping and transportation to the bank. For the very few individuals who have the need to make anonymous requests, they should go get a money order or bank check. If there is a small fee for that, it should be their problem, not the rest of community’s or the board’s. It is frankly moronic for an organization like our CSD to be bothered with all the safekeeping and administrative requirements to properly deal with cash payments. Moving to a non-cash policy is just plain good business sense, which is what we seem to have been lacking. Isn’t there any topic that some of our community members can avoid complaining about? The board is trying to reduce costs and streamline administrative procedures, and as a result, all members of the community will benefit. We are well beyond the days when everything was paid for in cash; it’s time to move into the 21st century. Many large businesses and service providers have moved to a non-cash policy years ago; many airlines no longer accept cash for in-flight services – it’s time to wake up.

clearly demonstrates either naiveté or a need for anger-management classes. Jeff and others should save their complaints for significant, meaningful and legitimate issues and stop the whining and pettiness on every minor topic. The rest of us who want legitimate and constructive change are really getting tired of those in the community who do little to contribute, but make a sport of poking their fingers in the eye of whoever volunteers their time to the CSD Board. I applaud the board’s decision to employ smart business practices and find ways to reduce its operating costs. Separately, I look forward to the day when the perennial complainers do something constructive for the community. Bill Klipp Discovery Bay
Better solution than pollution Editor: I am deeply concerned about the health and well-being for my family and our local community because of the purposed power generating station in Oakley and other plants in the surrounding area. Being that I have asthma and my children are doing a number outdoor sports, I am sure that 1 million tons of pollution that would be pumped in to our air is not in any way good or healthy for all of us. This plant is being called green technology by Radback just because they say that it may or could put out 40 percent less pollution than other gas burning power plants. This will be 60 percent more pollution or 1 million tons of pollution from just the Oakley power plant, according to Radback – if that number is truly correct. I asked Radback to let me know how many cars would it take to make 1 million ton of pollution; they could or would not share that information with me after a half dozen attempts to get the details. There are other ways to meet the needs for power in our future and our children’s future. What do we have so much of in our area? The Delta offers us the winds and sun. Solar and wind power are a true green technology. Five years ago I spent some time on the big island of Hawaii and found this building that produced 40 times more energy that it used just by its design. It was built by the Nature Energy Laboratory of Hawaii. Our city of Oakley could work with our local home builder to place solar

panels or solar shingles on all of our new home construction that would create more jobs, energy and a better future instead of 1 million tons of pollution. The city of Oakley could also work with all new commercial construction to have solar panels on the commercial building as well. We could generate power and taxes from a newer true green technology instead of 1 million tons of pollution a year or more from a gas-burning power plant. We could set up a wind farm on Jersey Island with the help of our very own Iron House Sanitary District. That’s just a few things we could do better than 1 million tons of pollution. Ron Paris Oakley
Radback plant not harmless Editor: Exposure to organic emissions, particulate matter (PM) pollution produced from burning natural gas, has been associated with respiratory and cardiac problems, infections, asthma attacks, lung cancer and increased mortality due to the particulates being deposited in the lungs, brain and circulatory system. Fine particulate air pollution (<2.5 microns; PM2.5) is thought to be more dangerous because of its ability to penetrate deeper into lung tissue. A recent study found that even a small increase in PM2.5 can result in a significant increase in mortality. The two proposed power plants here would ceaselessly litter our neighborhoods, parks, schools, waterways, lungs and bodies with tons of this matter. While this is the same natural gas burned to heat your home and water as well as to cook your food … the massive plants will deliver much higher concentrations constantly. For the record, emissions from your home are directed up and out of your home so as to not concentrate the PM, carbon monoxide, and other dangerous chemicals inside your living quarters. The particulate matter much too small to see with the naked eye penetrates deeply into the lungs and is captured by lung tissue. It is naïve to think that the negative effects from the pollutants are felt immediately. It is with rigorous application and attention to the scientific process that we have come to the irrefutable conclusion that nearly imperceptible pollution derived from burning fossil fuels, including natural gas, is a direct cause of cancer and asthma.
In fact, The American Lung Association believes that PM2.5 represents the most serious threat to our health. Segments of the population that are most susceptible to PM pollution include children, athletes, senior citizens and people with preexisting respiratory problems. It’s easy to dismiss these inconvenient facts just because the particles are so small that we can’t see them. For example, the influenza virus is invisible to the naked eye; however, medical science proves one can still catch the flu, right? We all know that it’s difficult to tell children that they can’t have something they really want … or to turn away a deal that seems like you’re getting something for nothing. That’s part of being a good parent. As adults we know we rarely get something for nothing. Now is the time to educate your children on the real benefits versus the imagined ones associated with making good choices. For example, Radback has promised money to various groups in the area, with attention to youth facilities in exchange for the unspoken, yet undeniable permanent damage to their health. Oakley City Council has taken it upon herself to act as head cheerleader for the Oakley project, actively and aggressively promoting the project as only-harmless and progressive. Paul Seger Oakley
Caring community Editor: Back in November, 2010, the Oakley Press assisted me with the publication of my wife, Paula Davis’ obituary. I would like to thank the Press for helping my son and me during that difficult time, making a difficult situation very pleasant. Also, I would like to thank the local Boy Scout Troop 152 of Oakley, the Freedom High School staff and of course our friends here in Oakley. Our Boy Scout Troop 152 took the time to not only see to our needs, but set up a meal program so my son and I had a good hot meal once a week. The Freedom HS staff collected funds and brought us gift cards to our local supermarkets. What a kind and generous thing to do. I will forever be indebted to everyone for their kindness, generosity and support. It’s very comforting to know that there are genuine caring people in our community. Thank you.

ing academic achievement, a goal he shared with parents during a forum on Monday. Walsh showed parents a chart that showed that while Liberty students’ SAT averages are some of the highest in East County, they’re below average compared to state and national marks – a statistic he’d like to see change, but will need help to make it happen. “The challenge for me is how do I, in a (school) community that’s more than 100 years old, convince people who feel like we’re doing a pretty good job that there are some things we can do better. And in order to do better, we’re going to have to change some things,” Walsh told the parents. “…We want to make sure our kids are prepared for the future. That’s what we’re going to do here (at Liberty). What we’re not going to do is blame the kids (for these scores). I promise you that. What we need to do is change what we’re doing.” While Walsh admits it will take time to implement changes, the support of staff and parents is crucial to helping students rise above the local, state and national averages. It’s a huge undertaking, but Walsh has confidence in his staff and believes that together they can make Liberty a better school: “Our goal is to turn a good school into a great school.” To make sure Liberty students are prepared for college and the future, Walsh wants to help change students’ attitudes so they’ll challenge themselves and take on the most rigorous academic schedule they can handle and still make time for athletics and extracurricular activates. To help transition students into a new mindset, Walsh is asking parents
FEBRUARY 11, 2011
to get more involved in their children’s education. Liberty teacher Beth Decker, who also made a presentation at the parents’ forum, said the greatest investment parents can make is in their children’s’ future by supporting them throughout their high school careers. Monday’s inaugural parents’ forum was attended by a modest group of 20, including a few teachers and administrative staff. Walsh highly supports these forums and hopes to see more parents at the next meeting, tentatively scheduled for early March. “I’d like to see a hundred parents at these parent forums,” Walsh said. “This is a chance to promote dialogue and find ways to best support the students. This is also a place where parents can support each other. Raising teenagers is no easy task and in these forums they can find support for themselves as well as their students.” Walsh is no stranger to raising high school students. He has three children in college, so he knows personally and professionally what’s needed to help students achieve success, and he’s ready for the challenge. But before he starts to break ground on his plan to improve student success, Walsh is taking the time to learn everything about Liberty’s procedures, practices and policies so he can collaborate with staff to find the best solution. “I respect and honor the work that the staff has done over the years establishing a foundation, but there is room for improvement so that our students are ready for the future,” he said. “I’m looking forward to that challenge.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Sweet surprise for troops Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, located at The Streets of Brentwood, recently donated 107 pounds of fudge to Blue Star Moms. Fudge donations were generated through its inaugural Fudge for Troops promotion campaign held in the store during the month of November. All donated fudge was placed in packages shipped overseas to our service men and women last month. The Fudge for Troops campaign matched every pound of fudge sold in the store during the month of November. “It’s always humbling to see the high esteem that the community has for the young men and women who are serving in the armed services in harm’s way,” said Becky Hultgren, care package project manager for Blue Star Moms. “These are all of our kids. Blue Star Moms, Chapter 101 would like to thank Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory for their wonderful donations to give these men
and women a taste from home. God bless you for your contributions.” Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory owners Christine and Craig McKnight were thrilled with the success of the campaign. “We set an ambitious goal of selling 100 pounds of fudge for this campaign,” said Christine. “With the amazing support of our employees and the generosity of our customers, we managed to exceed that goal. We would like to thank everyone who made this campaign a success. We really enjoyed ourselves and are pleased we could make such a generous donation to Blue Star Moms.” Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory is a franchise, gourmet chocolate store specializing in handmade chocolates, caramel apples, dipped strawberries, specialty gifting, weddings and community fundraisers.

Veterans from page 1A work looking for a home for the center. “You know, we’ve been supporting the troops and military families here in the community and overseas for years now,” said Monaghan. “And the more I saw kids coming home, and the more I spoke with their parents, I was hearing stories of transition difficulties and not being able to reconnect with their families or communities – and I knew something needed to be done.” Last month, Monaghan signed the lease on a Pittsburg facility large enough to accommodate a recreation center and offices for guest lecturers, conferences and peer counseling. Staffed by East County veterans, the center will serve as a safe haven and resource facility for veterans re-entering the workforce, returning to college and/or transitioning from combat to everyday life. And while the peer resource and recreation center is open to all veterans, Monaghan believes that the new facility might appeal especially to those returning from overseas. “The thing is,” said Monaghan, “that everyone’s war was their own war. And the kids returning home now have very little in common with the veterans at the VFW or other clubs because of their age and experience. Certainly you all empathize with each other, but it was a different war and a different time. “The economy is so bad right now that soldiers returning home have to deal with the economics of having no job, figuring out how to support their families, or whether or not to return to school. They can come here and talk to each other, mentor each
Forum from page 1A wrong with their community – many took action. Gougeon said that over the course of the forum, 10 attendees signed up for the volunteer-run Graffiti Abatement Program and another handful applied for the Antioch Police Department’s Volunteers in Police Service program. Meanwhile, TBA member Jennifer McVicker spoke up at Tuesday’s City Council meeting on the subject of code enforcement. “The homes that remain vacant are not maintained, with overgrown weeds and decaying buildings,” McVicker said.
other and make contacts with each other for work, school or whatever. It’s about support. That’s what we’re all about.” Wayne Stephens, a veteran volunteer for the center, believes that the new facility is long overdue. “This (center) is definitely a necessity in this area,” said Stephens, a veteran infantryman of Iraq and Afghanistan who served in the 10th Mountain Division. “Basically we’re trying to change the whole way the system works for soldiers when they get home. They have a lot of issues and sometimes people don’t relate to them very well. And we want to offer them something other than a place to go and have a drink. One thing they teach you in the Army is to get it done, and that’s all we’re trying to do here. Just get it done.” The grand opening of the peer center, 520 Garcia Ave. in Pittsburg, will kick off Saturday, Feb. 26 at 10 a.m. with a Warriors Walk beginning at the facility. Registration starts at 9 a.m. The event features a continental breakfast, the Warriors Walk, refreshments and music. Celebrating the opening of the center with a Warriors Walk, according to Monaghan, is a positive beginning to what she knows will be a successful venture. “From everything I know,” said Monaghan, “this is going to be a success. It’s the right time, it’s the right need, and it’s the right thing to do. In the end you always see the miracle, and this is it.” For registration, donation or sponsorship information, call Jeanine Thomas at 925408-9112 or e-mail ecmilitary@yahoo.com. To comment, visit www.thepress.net. “The homes taken over by squatters are vandalized or worse – used to grow marijuana or cook hard drugs. These homes are not only a blight on our community; they are hazardous to the health of our citizens. Code enforcement can solve these problems and more by requiring that the legal owners of these homes maintain them to the standards set by the city.” The forum also synchronized with the city’s monthly Saturday cleanup, which was organized by the police department and held the day after the meeting. More than 100 people showed up at Meadow Creek Park to pick up garbage. They even found a discarded gun safe containing

here’s more to Facebook than Farmville and poking your friends. Brentwood resident Brandi Lohr tapped into the social network last month to search for her father, and after a few days of hunting, made a connection with family members on her father’s side and arranged a meeting. Lohr met her father, Jim Gise, above, for the first time at Tailgaters last weekend. Gise lives in Martinez, and the two plan to stay in touch and get to know each other.

a bevy of personal information. Many people at the cleanup said they were motivated to come out because of the forum and TBA’s actions. “I think it’s a wonderful opportunity for us to rejuvenate the public under these conditions,” said Leroy Lui, a 37-year resident of Antioch and neighborhood watch block captain. “There was a lot of energy in that meeting. What I noticed is there were some cries for help. And the people that could help – they were there.” A victim of earlier budget cuts, the cleanup program has been reinstated. Late last year, the Antioch PD decided that it could no longer fund the monthly
event. Recently, crime prevention officer and Graffiti Abatement Program leader Dennis Jeglum teamed up with Wayne and Carol Harrison from United Citizens for a Better Neighborhood and asked Cantando if they could restart the cleanup program, which would not be funded by the police department. Cantando gave Jeglum his blessing and donated trash pickers and bright vests. A group of Target employees came by to help the effort as well, donating their time plus supplies, bagels and coffee. Next month, volunteers will turn their cleanup attention to Jacobsen Park. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Heritage stuns Freedom in buzzer-beater win Staff Writer As he was watching the junior varsity boys basketball game on Friday night, Xavier Watson had it all pictured perfectly. The Heritage High senior guard imagined snatching a pass from fellow senior Kyle Reynolds – as the clock dwindled to zero – taking a step back from the arc and draining a three-pointer to beat Freedom. The crowd would go crazy and his teammates would mob him. With about three seconds left in the actual game, Watson turned his fantasy into reality. The Patriots, trailing the Falcons for most of the game, came back to claim a 63-62 win on the strength of a last-second three from Watson. Under heavy pressure from Freedom senior guard Andrew Garner, Watson heaved a shot from between the perimeter and the half-court line. As the ball bounced off the backboard and into the hoop, the Falcons gym erupted. “When it went in, I just knew it came Freedom’s Gianna Dimercurio takes a shot on goal during the Falcons’ 2-1 win over Mission San Jose last week, as Lica Monobe of the Warriors tries to defend the shot.

true,” Watson said. “It happened exactly the way I thought it would.” The victory advanced Heritage to 14-8 (3-2 in Bay Valley Athletic League play) while Freedom dropped to 13-9 (33 BVAL). Watson led his team in scoring with 15. Senior guard Dorian Hardy and Reynolds each netted 13. Garner scored a team-high 19 points for the Falcons. Watson almost didn’t get a chance to play out his last-second heroics. With about 45 seconds left, Freedom held a 62-60 lead. Twice after that, the Patriots fouled Falcons shooters in an attempt to get the ball back. And twice, Freedom missed the front end of one-and-ones. “We played well, but we didn’t finish it,” Falcons head coach Drew Torres said. “We’ve been shooting 50 free throws every practice, but you cannot simulate that type of crowd and that pressure situation.” With 14 seconds left, Heritage had the ball and called a time out. But the team’s hopes were nearly dashed when Hardy muffed the inbound pass. The ball see Stuns page 5B

Backed by our generous sponsors – Brentwood Café, Black Bear Diner in Oakley and the Sports Bar and Steakhouse in Discovery Bay – The Press wants to acknowledge the deeds of those who don’t always make front page stories.

Every week, this section highlights the achievements of an East County sports star of a variety of sports, from gymnastics to football to swimming. The Athlete of the Week needn’t be a varsity athlete. We encourage, and in many cases prefer, submissions from parents and coaches of junior varsity, freshman, youth and club teams.

Bolstered by goals from Nick McCalliom, Nick Krahnke, Nick Connell and Hugo Salazar, Heritage took a 4-0 win over the Lions last week. The victory gave the Patriots a 3-7-6 record (2-3-3 BVAL), while Liberty fell to 5-

Last-second Lions’ shot sinks Pirates by Michael Dixon Correspondent For 31 minutes and 59 seconds on Friday, it looked like Liberty High’s girls varsity basketball team would fall short in its goal to avenge an earlier-season home loss to Pittsburg. Then Ally Mackenzie stepped in and made a buzzer beating three-pointer to give the Lions a 3736 win. The Pirates led 36-34 with five seconds remaining when Pittsburg junior guard Alexandria Moore went to the foul line for one-and-one free throws. Liberty

immediately called its last timeout, giving the Lions a chance to design a play in the event of a miss, but leaving them only five seconds to get the ball across the court. Moore missed and the Lions put their offense in motion. Junior guard Shaunike Lee passed on what would have been an open but off balance three and passed it to Mackenzie, who had a clear look at the hoop, but was a few feet behind the three-point line. The senior guard barely got the shot off on time. Everyone watched as the ball rattled around the hoop a few times before finally dropping. Mackenzie’s teammates went wild, converging on her in a frantic mob scene. “There was like 0.2 seconds left when I got it off,” said Mackenzie, who scored six points on the night, notching one other three-pointer. “In the huddle, (Coach Glenn Stonebarger) was telling us to not give up, to take the shot if we had it, and if not to try to push it down for a lay-up.” The exciting finish counterbalanced a slow third quarter in which Liberty lost its 18-15 halftime and was outscored 177. Trailing 30-25 after three quarters, the Lions chipped away in the fourth, but were never even tied until Mackenzie’s buzzer beater. Junior center Bernadette Fong led Liberty with 12 points; sophomore forward Gabrielle Freeman was see Lions page 19B

ro spoke warmly about Greene’s exceptional qualities, on and off the football field. In addition to San Diego State, Greene received interest from Fresno State and Washington State. “I feel like I’m really ready for it,” he said. “(SDSU) felt more like home. The people down there are just like the people up here.” Greene and McKeen both earned firstteam all-BVAL honors this year. They helped the Falcons bounce back from a 1-9 season in 2009 to beat Liberty in the Bell Game and make the North Coast Section playoffs. “I like the coaches (at MSNU) and the program is good,” McKeen said. “I’ve always dreamed of playing the next level of football.” At Antioch, cornerback Shamawn Wright became the first player to earn a Division I scholarship since Brent Casteel graduated in 2003 and went to Utah. In an emotional ceremony attended by about 70 teachers, relatives, friends and coaches, Wright signed his letter of intent to UC Davis, which offered him a nearly full scholarship. Wright thanked the coaches and staff at Antioch who helped him grow through trying times. After Wright bounced around from home to home and shelter to shelter, Panthers assistant coach Wilson Pica invited the student-athlete to live with him. Wright was so moved by Pica’s generosity that he added the coach’s last name to his jersey, playing as Shamawn Pica-Wright. Wright thanked his closest friends, including Heritage running back Treyvon Hanna, but broke into tears when his prepared re-

marks got to the subject of his mother, Betty Catherine-Wright. “She watched me grow up,” Wright said. “She was there when I didn’t have nothing, but she tried her best every single day. She tried anything she could do to put a smile on my face.” On the field, Wright was a force for Antioch on defense, offense and special teams. He led the team this year in receiving with 303 yards and two touchdowns. On the other side of the ball, Wright intercepted three passes and made 26 tackles. “I think Davis saw that in him, not just being a good athlete, but being a good young man and a good person,” Panthers head coach John Lucido said at the ceremony. “Coaching you for the last three years, we taught you a little something. You taught me about life and what it takes.” Last week, Liberty running back/defensive back Shawn Vasquez committed to Kentucky’s Campbellsville University, an NAIA school. Lions head coach Nate Smith noted that Vasquez was the only player the Tigers recruited west of the Mississippi River. “He was a heck of a player on both sides of the ball for us,” Smith said. “He was a threat to go to distance every time he touched the ball.” According to Smith, Campbellsville lists Vasquez as a defensive back, but the Tigers might use him on offense, too. Hampered by a hip injury in the second half of the season, Vasquez ran for 837 yards and scored six touchdowns on the ground. On defense, he made 33 solo tackles. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

February might well be dubbed Chocoholics Month in Brentwood, as The Kinsella Theater Group’s Brentwood Teen Theater presents “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” in the multipurpose room of Resurrection Ministries, 1275 Fairview Ave. Performances are scheduled for Feb. 18, 19 and 25 at 7:30 p.m.; Feb. 26 at 3 and 7:30 p.m. Based on author Roald Dahl’s beloved novel “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” the stage version of the story has introduced theater to an entire American generation. “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” tells the tale of an aging Willy Wonka in search of an heir to his candy empire. Five lucky Golden Ticket winners tour the magical chocolate factory that produces the latest and greatest in confection concoctions. Along the way, the fun-to-sing musical score acquaints the audience with the lovable Oompa Loompas, squirrel nut inspectors, a champion gum chewer, the spoiled Veruca Salt and especially Charlie, a disadvantaged boy who gains the respect of Willy by practicing the virtue the candy magnate most craves: integrity. The show feature actors ages 10 to 19 who have participated in an intensive training program that includes instruction in singing, acting, dance and, of course, performing in the production.

Freedom tennis coach honored by peers by Justin Lafferty Staff Writer
AMARO
Freedom High School’s Bay Valley Athletic League girls tennis title this fall meant more for the school than just pride and a banner to hang in the gym. Falcons head coach Steve Amaro was recently honored by the United States Professional Tennis Association as the NorCal High School Coach of the Year. The award is based not only on success in league play and tournaments but skill in providing instruction to young athletes. USPTA Regional Director Sandra Gostanian believes Amaro is a deserving recipient of the award. “It’s the quality of instruction that
they give,” Gostanian said of the ideal candidate. “Not just how to hit a ball, but to be good sports. He’s very respected among his peers and his athletes and parents like the kind of person that he is as a coach.” Amaro, in his 12th year of coaching tennis at Freedom, was excited and honored that fellow USPTA members thought so highly of him. The coach will be fêted for this award at Stanford University on Feb. 12 as part of the USPTA Northern California Winter Convention Awards Banquet. “I’ve been really blessed this year,” said Amaro, also the school’s athletic director. “This one, I think I really owe it a lot to the Freedom girls for winning the league championship.” The Falcons, led by players such as singles
ace Nicole Zanarini and doubles teammates Kristen Quesada and Madison Mills, beat out Liberty for the girls BVAL title. Freedom finished the regular season 13-7 overall and went 9-1 in league play. The only match-up the Falcons dropped was to rival Liberty in the tennis equivalent of the Bell Game. “I remember starting the first day and thinking of the seven girls that we had lost as seniors – it was going to be quite a task,” Amaro said. “We have a banner up in the gym and it’s an exciting source of pride for all of our girls.” The tennis award comes months after Amaro was honored as the Liberty Union High School District’s 2009-10 Teacher of the Year.

Lions from page 4B right behind her with nine. Junior center Myeshia Ward is one of the only Bay Valley Athletic League players with the size and strength to match Fong in the paint. She led the Pirates with 11 points. The exciting fourth quarter was marred when Pittsburg senior guard Jaychelle Price fell to the floor and stayed there for several minutes with an apparent lower leg injury. A brace was put on her leg and coaches assisted her off the court. After a sub-.500 preseason and despite the heartbreaking loss, the Pirates appear headed in the right direction. The Liberty loss moved them to 11-11 on the season and 4-2 in league play. Liberty, conversely, is only 3-3 in league play but a strong 13-9 overall. “We played hard and we didn’t quit,” said Stonebarger, who was the acting head coach in place of an ill Debbi Weil. “We said before the game that defense was going to win the game. Offensively we missed a lot of easy shots at the beginning. It was a physical game; there was a lot of contact.” Pittsburg attempted 15 free throws while Liberty tried eight. Despite attempting only eight free throws to the Pirates’ 15, the Lions chalked up just as many points – five – from the charity stripe. “Pittsburg always gives us a good game,” said Fong. “I don’t even know how to describe Ally Mackenzie. That’s just stuff you see on TV.” The varsity team’s comeback win made up for the junior varsity’s defeat. Despite leading most of the game, the JV Lions fell to the Pittsburg JV 36-33. Mazhane Fleurima led all scorers, posting 25 in the losing cause. Abagail Tatum scored 15 for the Pirates. Heritage 60, Freedom 16 Sophomore guard Erin Asher scored 16 points for Heritage in a 60-16 rout of Freedom on Friday night. Sophomore forward Ali Ramirez posted 11 – the only other Patriots scorer in double digits. Sophomore guard Elsa Ross finished with a team-high seven points for the Falcons. Heritage (15-7, 4-2 BVAL) travels to Deer Valley on Tuesday; Freedom (6-16, 0-6 BVAL) hosts the Wolverines on Friday. Deer Valley 75, Antioch 17 Deer Valley didn’t have much trouble with a young Antioch squad on Friday, coming away with a 75-17 victory. Senior guard Raven Fox led the Wolverines with 16 points. Junior guard Kristine Fleming contributed 11 while freshman forward Alejandra Cephas and senior guard Imana Samuels each netted eight. Senior guard Brittany Gandy scored a team-high seven points for the Panthers. Deer Valley (14-6, 5-0 BVAL) travels to Freedom on Friday and plays Heritage the following Tuesday in a game that could decide the league champion. Antioch (5-17, 1-5 BVAL) hosts Pittsburg on Friday.
