THIS WEEK

In memory of the fallen

by Dave Roberts Staff Writer It was standing room only in the City Council chambers May 13 as the finest of Antioch’s finest were honored for saving lives and catching bad guys. The third annual awards ceremony sponsored by the police department honored the detective bureau, 10 Antioch police officers, seven Pittsburg police officers, a crime analyst and two residents, all of whom went above and beyond the call of duty and some of whom put their lives on the line doing so. Chief Jim Hyde handed out the awards. But before doing so, he noted that many people in law enforcement are not seeking honors or recognition, and just want to do their jobs to the best of their ability. “But we do have to recognize their work, otherwise it would go untold to our communities – the difficult things that they do and

The grafﬁti-laden trains that have been stored along Highway 4 in Antioch for a half year ﬁnally moved out of the area last weekend – but they could be back.

Graffiti trains gone, might return by Dave Roberts Staff Writer East County officials, who have been trying to run out of town on a rail scores of graffitiladen train cars, breathed a sigh of relief this week when the cars finally left over the weekend. The bad news is that they could be back. “This was an effort I led in Washington, D.C. and with the

CCC Mayors Conference as well as the Delta Six (committee),” said Antioch Mayor Jim Davis via e-mail regarding the trains leaving the Union Pacific Mococo Line in Antioch, where they moved in a half-year ago and were quite visible to motorists on Highway 4. But Union Pacific spokeswoman Zoey Richmond said that while company officials are aware of elected officials’ con-

cerns about the trains, the cars were moved because they were needed to haul freight for a customer. “That’s the reason why we have to keep these cars stored in various areas throughout our system,” said Richmond. “At a moment’s notice we can have a customer call us up needing to ship something, and we need to be ready to serve that business.” Although there are no cur-

rent plans to again store rail cars in East County, Union Pacific could do so at any time, despite concerns that have been voiced by community officials, she said. “We have around 60,000 rail cars in storage because of the slow economy,” she said. “From time to time the communities do complain about them being unsightly, being a little irritating. see Graffiti page 21A

Enjoy fair favorites such as rides, live shows, food and exhibits when this year’s fair, entitled “It’s A Blast!” comes to the Antioch Fairgrounds May 28 through 31. The fair has been helping crowds welcome summer for years, but 2009 promises new attractions to appeal to fairgoers of all ages. Farmyard Follies features the lovable critters from the famous Great American Petting Zoo. The show includes animal behavior and antics accompanied by fascinating facts and stories about each type of animal, including the trouble-making donkey Fiona-no-no. For more animal fun, visit the new GASCAR Crazy Animal Races, where barnyard critters scamper like you’ve never seen before. Goats, sheep, chickens, pigs and other surprise animals wear racing silks as they hoof and waddle their way around – and sometimes over – the track.

Memorial Day gets bigger in Antioch PROGRAM

Hundreds expected at annual event

emembering those who have died to provide Americans freedom is what Memorial Day is all about. In Antioch, the observances set for Monday are about providing a way for grateful residents to say thank you. “There are a lot of people who are looking for a way to say thanks,” said Antioch Mayor Jim Davis. “This is one way they can do it.” Now nearly a dozen years old and still growing, the name of this year’s observance is appropriately dubbed Antioch

Memorial Thunder. It will begin with the arrival of dozens of riders from patriotic motorcycle groups, and before it’s over, a trio of vintage warplanes will roar overhead. The ceremony will feature many local musicians, speakers, a 21-gun salute, a dove release and other traditional activities. “We’d like to invite all the public to join us in paying tribute to those who fought for our liberty and are no longer here,” Davis said. The public is also invited to enjoy a

post-event barbecue at the VFW Hall, where $5 will buy lunch. Chicken, Polish dogs, hamburgers, chili and salad will be served. The Hall is located at 815 Fulton Shipyard Road in Antioch. In addition to VFW Post 6435, participating sponsors of this year’s event include the City of Antioch, Oak View Memorial Park Cemetery, the Army’s 483rd Transportation Battalion, American Legion Post 161, the Boy and Cub Scouts of America, and the Patriot Sentinel Riders.

Gromm retires after historic service by Samie Hartley Staff Writer

While Bob Gromm is considered one of the leading experts on Delta history, his own name crops in the history of Contra Costa County from time to time. In his 91 years, he’s been editor of the Brentwood News, president of the East Contra Costa Historical Society, a Bethel Island fire commissioner, a board member at the Delta Memorial Hospital, and a charter member of the Ironhouse Sanitary District Board. And that’s only a fraction of his resumé. Most recently, Gromm served as a board member of the John Marsh Historic Trust, an organization dedicated to raising funds to restore the home of the California pioneer who helped settle the area. Gromm helped form the organization to save the Marsh House, located off Marsh Creek Road in Brentwood, in 1971 and served as president, vice president and secretary over the years. It was an ideal position for Gromm, as his passion for history helped fuel his interest in repairing and renovating the house so that it can be enjoyed by future generations. But he decided to retire from his post to make way for the younger generation. “I’ve been at it too long,” Gromm said. “It’s time for the younger, more energetic people to step in and bring some new ideas. It’s time to give the young people a chance, give them an opportunity to get their feet

I’ll still help out if they need me – I’m not completely cut out of it.” Even though he retired from the board earlier this year, the Bethel Island resident hasn’t abandoned his interest in history. Just last weekend he was out at the East Contra Costa Historical Society Museum volunteering as a docent. Gromm said he’s always been interested in history, guided by his fascination to understand how East County communities have evolved. He published a history book about

Bethel Island in 2006 and is currently working on a book about Oakley, which he hopes to finish by the end of the year. He keeps folders with information about local communities and their histories, but nothing compares to the binder that overflows with information about John Marsh. The binder is so rich with information that Gromm keeps a second folder to hold what won’t fit in the bursting three-ring binder. “The most interesting thing about the John Marsh story is that he was one of the first

U.S. citizens to come out to California territory. He worked hard toward getting this area annexed into the United States. He also shipped crops out to gold rush country so the miners would have something to eat. He did a lot for this area.” Gromm holds his own place in the John Marsh story. According to local historian Kathy Leighton, Gromm is the last person to spend the night at the Marsh House before it was closed to the public. Gromm fondly recalls the day: Mother’s Day, 1972, when the John Marsh Memorial Association held an event called Romeria to raise funds to save the house. “I planned this big party, our first fundraiser for the association, but people said no one would come since it was Mother’s Day, but we ended up with 1,500 people in attendance because everyone came with their mothers.” During his service as a member of the Trust, Gromm has helped raise thousands of dollars to retrofit the house and make it earthquake safe so it can be open to the public again. But it will take millions of dollars to make that happen, a reality Gromm would like to see in his lifetime. “I’ve had an interesting life,” Gromm said. “I can’t complain. I’m proud that I’ve been able to be of assistance to the community. I hope to see the Marsh House restored before I’m no longer vertical, but other than that, I’ve done everything I’ve wanted to do. I have a wonderful family and I’ve had a nice life. I guess the only thing I didn’t do was become a millionaire.”

Since opening a little more than a year ago, owners Jim and Brenda D’Amico have worked hard to establish the Black Bear as more than a place to go for a bite to eat. Their goal all along

has been to create a sense of unity and fellowship. “The idea behind this (the restaurant) has always been about community,” said Brenda. “We recognized that there weren’t a lot of places where people could go for their meetings or events, so we’ve tried hard to accommodate those who are interested.

The City of Oakley staff meets at the Black Bear for breakfast on a regular basis, and the chief of police has been known to stop in on occasion. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and end-of-the-year school celebrators also make their way to the diner. The Oakley Chamber holds monthly meetings at Black Bear, and Oakleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Relay for Life chapter recently used the restaurant as a meeting spot and fundraising springboard. The Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Amicos were also corporate sponsors for the Relay event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This (Black Bear) is really the first community-type restaurant in Oakley,â&#x20AC;? said Relay Event Co-Chair Cathleen Knight, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and anything that has to do with the town and community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there.

The Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Amicos are longtime Oakley residents, the parents of seven children between them (two currently at home) and five grandchildren. Despite their crowded calendar, they carve out time for baseball games, youth events and family celebrations. Giving back to a community that has given them so much is just icing on an already sweet cake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For us, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of fun,â&#x20AC;? said Brenda. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really nice meeting all the people. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here forever, and for us itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to see friends and familiar faces coming in.â&#x20AC;? But Brenda is quick to note that the philanthropic credit doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go exclusively to them. Last year the Oakley location joined forces with the other Black Bear diners to raise more than $50,000 for the Make-a-Wish Foundation, an organization that grants wishes to children suffering from terminal illnesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Black Diner as a corporation does a lot to support this kind of thing, and we are very grateful for that. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all very enjoyable; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy to be here.â&#x20AC;? For information on hosting a meeting or special event at the Black Bear, call 925-625-3555.

Renowned musicians to help jazz up Liberty band’s Hawaii trip fundraiser by Samie Hartley Staff Writer The Liberty High School jazz band has been invited to perform at the 2010 Pacific Basin Music Festival in Hawaii, but before the students can say “Aloha,” they need to raise the money to get there. While the band has already begun planning a series of summer car washes and restaurant fundraisers, they’ll kick off their fundraising effort on Friday, May 29 with the Back to Brentwood concert. The event will feature Tower of Power instrumentalist Mic Gillette, who has performed with such luminaries as Santana, the Rolling Stones, Elton John and the Beach Boys. Gillette has also recruited some friends, including Stevie Roseman (the keyboardist from rock band Journey), Skip Mesquite (Tower of Power), top-10 artist Deniece Williams and the members of Electric Flag. “This is such an important event to help keep music alive in schools,” Gillette said. “We all feel bad about how money is disappearing from the arts, and this is my way of chipping in. My father did it, I’m doing it, and the next generation will have to help keep music alive. I love doing stuff like this. It’s not work – it’s play and the

He will also be selling his CD “Ear Candy” that evening, donating part of the proceeds to the Liberty band’s efforts to raise money for the Hawaii trip. Liberty Band Director Carey Hurst anticipates it will cost each student approximately $1,300 to attend the Hawaii festival, but hopes that events such as Back to Brentwood will reduce that amount to a few hundred dollars.

“We are doing whatever we can to offset the costs,” Hurst said. “We know money is tight, but we decided to go out there and do it. We’ll do whatever it takes to get to Hawaii. It will take a lot of car washes, but we’ll get there.” While the band normally travels to Disneyland every year, Hurst said she wanted to give her musicians an opportunity to perform at a new venue. When she took the helm four years ago, she saw in band booster notes that the Liberty band has always wanted to travel to Hawaii, so she decided to set that as a goal. Students auditioned last year and were selected to participate, an impressive feat since only

Laurel ‘wax museum’ brings history to life by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer

As she makes her way through the roomful of students – all clad in 1840s period garb and standing strangely motionless for fourth-graders – the reporter, sensing her historical acumen is about to be challenged, strolls over to the lone character in a coonskin cap and suede jacket. This, she thinks, will be a slam-dunk. “Well, you’ve got to be either Daniel Boone or Dave Crockett,” says the reporter. “Who are you?” “I’m Kit Carson,” answers a pokerfaced, mischievous-looking Carson, aka Jacob Hess. And the rest, as they say, is history. Living history to be exact, a lifelike “wax museum” held at Laurel Elementary School on Tuesday. The historical impersonations were part of a dress rehearsal for the bigger event: a 24-hour stay at John Sutter’s fabled fort in Sacramento later this month. For the students in Michele Mercado and Deanna Lengyel’s classes, the “museum” was an opportunity to slip into the shoes of some fascinating characters. Brynne Silva was Eliza Williams, a member of the doomed Donner Party, which in 1846 got caught in an unexpected snowstorm in the Sierra. Of the 80-plus

members of the party, only 42 survived and made it Sutter’s Fort. Sadly, Williams was not one of the survivors, but Brynne was able to spot the silver lining. “My character died, but at least I’ll get to go (to Sutter’s Fort).” Alyssa Casey’s character was Patty Reed, also a member of the Donner Party, but fortunately a survivor. Reed’s playdoll is in fact an artifact on display at the fort, and something Alyssa is looking forward to seeing. “I want to see the Patty Reed doll, since I am playing her,” said Alyssa. “I think that will be neat.” And despite the abundance of famous characters, some lesser-known individuals with equally impressive credentials stood out. Take Isaiah Dunn, who played the part of a man who went by the name of Olimpio, who was the keeper of all the keys to Sutter’s Fort. Michael Masten portrayed James Grayson, who also played an important role as Chief Hole Digger – as in gold hole digger. “My guy was the one who dug all the holes for Sutter wherever he went and looked for gold,” said Michael. When asked if he thought Sutter ever found any gold, Michael smiled and said, “I think he found a lot.” see Laurel page 11A

They fled in a stolen vehicle and fired several shots, striking the patrol vehicle of Fortner and Graham, who pursued them onto Highway 4 and into Pittsburg. Despite the danger, they continued the chase and were joined in the pursuit by McManus. In Pittsburg the suspects fled on foot, continuing to shoot at the officers, who engaged them in a running gunfight. The suspects were apprehended and their guns and the stolen money recovered. Two suspects received gunshot wounds but no officers were injured. “When I look upon their faces and reflect upon their actions on that day, one thought comes to mind loud and clear: Don’t mess with Antioch PD,” Sgt. Kevin Rogers told the officers. “It’s been said that some men don’t sleep well at night because they didn’t give it their best. You three sleep well. May God in Heaven continue to bless your lives and keep you safe as you do your best to continue to protect our citizens.” Life Saving Awards Officer Aaron Sapp performed CPR for several minutes on a woman with no pulse, who was not breathing and was turning blue, saving her life by his quick actions on Jan. 17, 2008. Officer Danielle Joannides used a defibrillator to apply a shock to a 61-year-old man who was not breathing and apparently had suffered a heart attack on June 5, 2008.

The man’s heart began beating again, and his life was saved. Officers Chris Martin and Ryan White responded to a report on April 20, 2008 that a 19-year-old man, following an argument with his girlfriend, was found by his parents hanging in the garage. They cut him down, but he was not breathing and did not have a pulse. The officers performed CPR and used a defibrillator to restore the man’s heartbeat and respiration, saving his life. On Sept. 28, 2008 Officer Kathleen Lopez was dispatched to a residence where a

2-year-old boy had fallen into the swimming pool, been in the pool for approximately five minutes and was blue, not breathing and did not have a pulse. Family members had been given CPR instructions over the telephone and were attempting to render aid when Lopez arrived. She took control of the chaotic, emotional scene, instructed a family member to assist her, and performed CPR. With the help of Officer Martin, who arrived on scene, she was able to expel water from the drowning victim’s lungs and restore his

breathing, saving his life. On March 9, 2009 Pittsburg Sergeant Bruce Brown and Pittsburg police officers Sankara Dumpa, Jacob Stage, William Hatcher, Cory Smith, Nicholas Goldman and Roger Estrada helped save the life of Antioch Officer James Vincent, who was pursuing a vehicle through Pittsburg, became involved in a solo traffic accident and crashed into a home on West Leland Road. Vincent was paralyzed and unable to exit his patrol vehicle, which had come to rest on its side and caught fire. The Pittsburg officers helped put out the fire and extract Vincent from his vehicle, preventing more serious injuries and possibly death. Citizen Service Citation On May 28, 2008 Jason Mordelai and Donna Wilson saw a suspicious woman in the Kinder Care parking lot. The woman broke out the window of a car, took a purse from inside and returned to her car. Mordelai confronted the woman, took the purse from her and returned it to the owner, who had been dropping off her child at Kinder Care. Wilson, who is on Antioch’s Crime Prevention Commission, followed the vehicle, which also contained another female suspect, into a recently developed residential area. She hailed a security guard, who blocked the vehicle and detained the two women until officers arrived on scene. The woman who stole the purse had several prior convictions for similar crimes and both were charged with burglary and conspiracy. see Cops page 13A

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage Matters By Trevor Frey

Eagle eye on the needy

HOT WEATHER, COOL PRICING will stop falling, thereby helping to stop new mortgage loan rates from rising along with the rates on mortgage-backed securities. With the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank’s Open Market Committee bluntly stating their own goal, it is a little easier to make that “educated guess” about the level of mortgage interest rates in the near term: “…the committee decided today to increase the size of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet further by purchasing up to an additional $750 billion of agency mortgage-backed securities, bringing its total purchases of these securities up to $1.25 trillion this year, and to increase its purchases of agency debt this year up to $100 billion to a total of up to $200 billion.” By aiming to “help improve conditions in the private money markets” the government hopes to keep mortgage interest rates low while also increasing liquidity in the markets. Without this intervention, mortgage interest rates would definitely be higher! However, with the intervention taking place in hopes of stimulating the economy, 30-year mortgage interest rates are currently at a 50-year historic low, and they should definitely be taken advantage of by anyone looking to purchase or refinance their home. If you wish to help ensure you’re receiving the best rate out there, please send over an email and I will add you to my weekly rate update blast which will assist in offering peace of mind about exactly where rates stand. In the meantime I hope you have an excellent weekend, stay safe (and cool), and make sure to enjoy the weather! As always, I welcome all questions and or concerns pertaining to real estate lending on my new cell phone, 925-726-1444, or via email, tfreymortgages@yahoo.com.” – Advertisement

“While neither tomorrow’s weather (although I’m predicting high) nor tomorrow’s interest rate (I’m predicting low) can be 100% guaranteed, there are ways of trying to determine an educated guess for both. However, because I’m a mortgage man and not a weather man, we’ll leave the barometric pressure breakdown to the meteorologist and focus on what the government’s doing to try to help keep mortgage rates low. The currently low mortgage interest rates are partly the result of investors seeking shelter after sustaining a brutal decline in the stock market during 2008. Bad news for the American economy is generally good news for interest rates. When people are looking for a safe investment they flock to Treasury bonds as these bonds are guaranteed by the “full faith and credit” of the United States. Investors have a choice between buying U.S. Bonds and other types of income securities, including mortgage backed securities. However, while treasuries are 100% guaranteed by the government, mortgage-backed securities are not, therefore investors believe they are riskier, and therefore investors want a higher rate of return – in other words, a higher interest rate – to compensate them for taking a higher risk. In the bond markets, interest rates on bond investments move conversely to bond prices: as bond prices rise, effective interest rates fall. What’s been happening in the mortgage-backed bond markets is that investors have been unwilling to buy them to due their perceived risk, and that is having a negative impact on all mortgage interest rates. If the federal government is willing to buy mortgage-backed securities, though, the hope is that their prices

New Hope For Women Taking Thyroid Medication Who Still Suffer From Low Thyroid Symptoms If you are a woman diagnosed with low thyroid and given medication but still suffer from the same symptoms even while taking the medication then you may be able to eliminate your symptoms with a new treatment… Contra Costa CountyIf you are a woman who has been diagnosed with a low thyroid and prescribed thyroid medication by your doctor but do not feel the medication really made a difference in the way you feel and you are still suffering with the same symptoms, you may be in for the most pleasant and probably most welcome new approach to a newer more accurate diagnostic evaluation of your thyroid and a totally new and unique treatment that has the potential for helping you get your health back and minimize or even end your constant suffering with low thyroid symptoms once and for all. This new diagnostic approach is a more complete diagnostic evaluation of your thyroid function. Most women who have been diagnosed with low thyroid were tested by their doctor who is traditionally running a very basic blood test that only evaluates one blood marker for thyroid function when

in truth there are SEVEN blood markers that must be tested for and evaluated for a true complete thyroid panel. As a result of these overlooked blood markers, the true cause of their dysfunctioning thyroid is not being found. The biggest reason or cause of low thyroid in the United States is not being addressed and it’s not even being tested for and that’s probably the most biggest and most dangerous reason why low thyroid patients are still having symptoms. If you’re suffering with thyroid symptoms, taking medication and still suffer with low thyroid symptoms you may have experienced some version of what most women find when they visit their doctor. It goes something like “I have constipation, I have depression, I can’t lose weight. I keep gaining weight even though I exercise and have a reasonable diet and I am losing my hair”. These symptoms can all be attributed to a low functioning thyroid

and sure enough they get put on medication and their next blood test their lab ranges come back normal but the patient still feels exactly the same. The symptoms don’t change and that’s where the big frustration is. Low thyroid can lead to more serious illness. When you understand what the number one cause of this condition is you realize this condition can lead to more serious conditions down the road, so that’s the big issue…Things are being missed. What’s being done in traditional medical healthcare that is setting women with this condition up for failure is Doctor’s may not be paying attention to the literature and new research. They’re not really running the right tests for patients to uncover the true cause of their thyroid dysfunction, so basically they’re diagnosed with low thyroid and they’re put on thyroid medication. Now for many women that IS an appropriate course of action but if Advertisement

they are not looking for that underlying cause and if they’re not looking to see if these women have this very serious disease they could really be missing the boat. Typical results from accurate diagnosis and treatment is taking these women who are frustrated and taking thyroid hormones but not getting any symptomatic relief and turning that around so women without exercise or any real work are able to lose significant amounts of weight, symptoms of depression can improve, digestion and bowel function can get better, they’re able to regulate their body temperature better and they’re not always so cold. Really just turning around the negative symptomatic profile and flipping it around and really improving the quality of a woman’s life. If you are a woman taking thyroid medication and still experiencing symptoms of low thyroid you can be evaluated to see if you are a candidate

for accurate diagnostic evaluation and treatment by calling for a FREE Consultation with Dr. James Martin D.C. who performs complete diagnostic lab testing and treatment for women with low thyroid. Call 925516-5855 for a FREE Consultation. Offer Expires 5/29/09 Disclaimer: This article is for informational purposes only.

Brentwood should be union friendly Editor: It’s very disturbing to read the antiunion opinion in this community. Unions are one of the building blocks of this fine country. The City of Brentwood should be applauded if it chooses to support union labor. This community is filled with bluecollar workers who enjoy an honest wage for an honest day’s work. The health benefits that families deserve are fought for by unions. I don’t think anyone would believe that an employer would just give someone a decent wage and benefit package because it’s the right thing to do. I would hope that the City of Brentwood adopts this plan and sends a message that this is a labor-friendly town. Jason Livermore Brentwood

There were less than 700 graduates in the audience, including several sections of graduate degree candidates and a section of doctorals. He had earned his degree in Business Administration, specializing in accounting. When his section was finally called to stand and have their degrees conferred, his mother (my daughter Carol) sat upright in her seat next to me – ramrod straight would be more appropriate. Her chest puffed out, her hands quickly smoothed her dress then folded neatly in her lap, a tight little smile of anticipation on her lips. She was the very picture of a proud mother waiting for her child’s name to be called – and when it was, her eyes glistened with moisture of joy – her baby was graduating from college. How long ago, but how fast the time had flown by: 22 years from baby to manhood; 22 short years. “Nicholas Ryan Barthelmass,” the Dean of Studies announced, “Bachelor of Business Administration, cum lauda.” Carol sniffed back the urge to scream at the top of her lungs, “That’s my boy!” but instead a tender tear of silent joy ran down her cheek. She batted it away with her hand. This was Nick’s moment to savor his accomplishment, but it was also the ultimate moment for her and she wasn’t going to waste a second of it in tears. I thought to myself, “I know the feeling, darling daughter.” Congratulations to all parents and grandparents who have children graduat-

Earlier input, please Editor: This is an open letter to Supervisor Mary Piepho. Dear Supervisor Piepho, Although there now appears to be some movement in the process, it was with great disappointment that I listened to your answer at the May 7, 2009 DB CSD meeting regarding why the Discovery Bay Resident Deputy program (to be paid for through the P-6 enhanced policing program) had not yet been approved and implemented. You placed all of the blame on Sheriff Warren Rupf and I believe that answer was fueled largely by your ongoing effort to shift blame and discredit the sheriff. In November of 2008 the Board of Supervisors Public Protection Committee approved for full Board of Supervisors consideration the Sheriff’s DB P-6 spending plan that included at its core two resident deputies; it also included a patrol car, a crime specialist and partial payment for a donation-funded video surveillance system. Even though the Public Protection Committee passed forward the sheriff’s plan that had been based on public input, you pulled it from consideration to seek additional public input. I believe local input on important matters is valuable and you could have/ should have acted to seek the input you

were specifically looking for much earlier in the process. In February of 2009 the local input you desired came back supporting the sheriff’s plan, differing only with the video surveillance line item. It was stated publicly by the sheriff that in anticipation of a rapid implementation, his office had gone as far as selecting the actual deputies to assign to DB and had secured a permanent storefront substation in the DB shopping center. In November of last year the ball was in your court to approve (or not) the sheriff’s plan as endorsed by the Board of Supervisors Public Protection Committee. The additional local feedback you sought (after the fact) was delivered to you and was substantially supportive of the original plan, yet on May 7, 2009 in front of the public you choose to blame only the sheriff for the delay in providing (already paid for) enhanced police services. I have to admit that given your demonstrated outlook and voting record toward public safety, I am not surprised, but I am disappointed. My suggestion is to put aside your differences with the sheriff when it comes to matters such as this (especially during this time of overall diminished publicsafety financial support from the Board of Supervisors). I also believe that you should take this as a valuable lesson and seek significant public input at the front end of key issues rather than at the 11th hour, as seems to be your habit.

ANTIOCH May 14, 5:30 p.m. On May 8, the Dutch Pride Dairy at 507 E. 18th St. was robbed at gunpoint by two males wearing masks. One of the two clerks working at the time armed himself and chased the robbers as they attempted to escape in a vehicle parked nearby. When the clerk believed he was being shot at, he returned fire, striking the vehicle as it sped off. On May 14, the same clerk observed the getaway vehicle and called the Antioch Police Department on his cell phone. He followed the vehicle until the police stopped it and detained three subjects: 20-year-old Antioch resident Levele Williams, 20-year-old Antioch resident Steven Warren and 19-yearold Antioch resident Lawrence Thomas. The clerk positively identified Warren and Thomas as the two that robbed him. Subsequent interviews were conducted with all three and confessions were given by Warren and Thomas eventually confessed not only to the Dutch Pride robbery, but to four other armed robberies perpetrated since April 14. All three were booked at the Contra Costa County Jail in Martinez on robbery charges. When detectives reinterviewed Williams at the county jail, he admitted to participating in three of the additional robberies.

Graffiti from page 1A As business goes up and down in the area, there is always the potential you might see cars stored there again. It’s all going to depend on what the economy is doing and what our customers’ needs are.” That news will probably not sit well with East County officials who sent a letter to Union Pacific in January complaining about the trains: “The graffiti is often times racist, and specifically targets members of our diverse population. We do not believe that our residents should be subjected to this type of blight.” Union Pacific Vice President Scott Moore responded in a letter on April 28 that he understands their concerns but nothing would be done until the economy picks up. He noted that his company is keeping 23 percent of its fleet in storage throughout 23 states. “We share your concerns about the graffiti, and any derogatory comments or messaging on the cars,” Moore’s letter states. “We consider the damage to the cars to be a crime. We do not have a graffiti abatement plan in place for these cars as we hope the economy will soon rebound and they will be moved.” Richmond said it would cost $30,000 to paint over the graffiti on each rail car due to the need to use special paint. “Financially, trying to keep up with it would be overwhelming – a full-time job in itself,” she said. “We do paint over it if it’s very vulgar.” But what Brentwood Mayor Bob Taylor finds vulgar is that Union Pa-

Local ofﬁcials are pleased this grafﬁti-splashed train car and other eyesores like it have been moved from local tracks, even if it’s just for now.

cific hasn’t been more responsive to East County officials’ concerns. “It is a sad state of affairs when a company or business does not address the impact it may have on a community,” he said in an e-mail last week when the rail cars were still there. “To request their part in removing blight from our citizens’ eyes is such a small request in the realm of good citizenship, I am deeply disappointed to their response.” The dissatisfaction with Union Pacific actually goes back 2½ years, according to Ed Diokno, a policy analyst for Coun-

ty Supervisor Federal Glover. Numerous meetings have been held with train officials in unsuccessful attempts to get the trains moved out of storage in Bay Point. Antioch Councilwoman Martha Parsons, who serves on the city’s Graffiti Committee, was pleased to finally see the Hillcrest Avenue area free of trains. She has been inspecting that area recently in connection with the eBART station and transit village that are planned in that area. “It was at that time that the graffiti problem on the trains really caught my

attention,” she said via e-mail. “I had noticed it before but always driving by. Standing there looking at the railcars ‘tagged’ on both sides really upset me.” Ironically, while East County officials have complained about the trains being stored in this area, they are just as concerned if not more so about the plan to start running trains once again along the Mococo Line. They fear the traffic congestion, noise pollution and safety hazards that will result when the trains begin rumbling through the area once the economy picks up.

Boating safety reminder As the Memorial Day weekend and the opening of boating season approaches, the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff Marine Services Unit is reminding boaters to be safe, alert and obey the rules. “By following the rules, having proper gear and equipment and boating safely, everyone can enjoy the Delta,” said Lt. Will Duke. Additionally, Marine patrol units from Contra Costa, San Joaquin, Sacramento and Alameda counties, plus the United States Coast Guard, will be conducting a boating safety enforcement operation on Saturday, May 30 and Sunday, May 31. The operation is intended to promote safe boating through education and enforcement on the waterways near Discovery Bay. The Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff Marine Services Unit reminds boaters of the following rules: • All vessels must have a U.S. Coast Guard approved life vest for each person. The life jacket must fit the person intending to wear it. Children under 12 must wear a life jacket. • You must be at least 16 years old to operate a power boat or personal watercraft. All persons on a personal

watercraft are required to wear an approved life jacket. • Boats more than 16 feet long are required to carry a throwable flotation device, which must be readily accessible. • Always travel at a safe speed. Slow down in narrow channels and blind areas and navigate on the right side of the waterway. At a cross waterway, the boat on the right has the right of way. • Always carry an emergency kit that includes a flashlight, warm clothing, cell phone, VHF radio and chart. Boaters are encouraged to call Sheriff’s Dispatch at 925646-2441 for emergencies on the water. Be sure to file a float plan before you depart. • The Marine Service Unit will be enforcing the no-tow zone in Indian Slough from Discovery Bay to Orwood Resort. This includes Werner Cut. • Boating under the influence (BUI) enforcement will be a high priority for Marine Services deputies. Those arrested for BUI will face the same consequences as those who drive a motor vehicle under the influence, including fines and possible incarceration. The Marine Services Unit arrested 30 people for boating under the influence during 2008, an increase of nearly 100 percent over 2007.

The “ABC’s of Boating,” a handbook of boating rules, is available from most boating shops. Boaters can also go to the California Department of Boating and Waterways Web site, www.dbw.ca.gov, for more boating safety information. For more information, call Public Information Officer Jimmy Lee at 925-313-2643.

Susan Robertson signs her letter of intent to play softball for Holy Names College.

On the dotted line Susan Robertson recently signed her letter of intent to play softball for Holy Names College. Holy Names, an NAIA private college located in the Oakland Hills, has a student body of approximately 1,100. Susan has played softball for Freedom all four years and has been a varsity starter since her sophomore year. She helped lead Freedom to BVAL and NCS titles in 2008, and the team

clinched another BVAL title with a win over Deer Valley last week. Susan also competes on the ASA travel team USA Elite as a catcher and second baseman. Susan has made a lasting impression on her coach, Jeff Jonas, who said, “She’s the backbone of our defense and one of the best clutch hitters I’ve ever coached. We’ll be hard pressed to find anyone to fill her shoes.”

it held Freedom to six runs, after having lost to the Falcons 11-0 and 8-0 in previous encounters. After the game, Freedom Manager Jeff Jonas counseled his players, who were sitting on the right field grass, to not rest on their laurels, with the North Coast Section playoffs looming ahead. While the Falcons have been unbeatable in league play, they did narrowly lose three non-league games by a combined score of 0-4. “It’s a whole new season,” Jonas told them. “There’s no second time – you either win or lose, period. You have been through it once, for the most part. What we have to focus on is playing our best ball. It doesn’t matter what we have done to this point. We have to play our very best softball the next three games. We have a real good opportunity to run the table and win this thing.” In a post-game interview, Williams discussed the win. “First of all, we came out hitting the ball really well. Our mind-

My main ones are my rise ball, my drop and my slow curve. It’s just been something that I have practiced a long time. My dad (Steve) is a big part in how good I am. It’s been good; I’ve had a good career.” Her career has been so good that she’s lost only three league games in three seasons. With the Falcons getting a bye in the first round of the playoffs, Williams is looking forward to capping her career with a strong playoff run, beginning tomorrow, Saturday May 23, 5 p.m. at Freedom.

WatchDOGS tackle childhood obesity Antioch’s Diablo Vista Elementary School’s WatchDOGS (Dads Of Great Students) – an on-campus mentoring program – are working to combat obesity among area youth. Local DOGS dad Dr. Val Tompkins has spearheaded a voluntary morning exercise program for Diablo Vista students. Every Tuesday and Thursday mornings, the group meets at 7:40 a.m. for stretching and aerobic workouts that include jogging, push-ups, sit-ups and jumping jacks. According to Tompkins, it’s well documented that there are more overweight kids in the United States today than ever, and that physical exertion enhances not only students’ health, but their ability to learn. “This program is a tool to help more kids have an opportunity to be healthy and to achieve in the classroom,” said Tompkins.

According to Tompkins, as a child moves, the sensory neurons throughout the body are activated and send messages to the brain. As the brain receives that information, more brain centers are activated, the scope of the brain is increased, and the child has a better opportunity to learn, pay attention and retain information in the classroom. Each student enrolled in the program receives a participation ticket. Names are drawn each week for Prewett Water Park day passes (thanks to the support of WatchDOGS efforts by Dave Sanderson of the City of Antioch). A grand prize drawing is scheduled for June 9, when two students will be awarded San Francisco Giants tickets (courtesy of an anonymous donor) and two other students will be awarded new bicycles.

Breaking down bone health myths for girls What’s in your daughter’s drinking glass? If it’s not a calcium-rich beverage like milk, fortified orange juice or soymilk, she might not be building the strong bones she’ll need for life. Many girls don’t drink milk because they worry about weight gain. Others steer clear of dairy products because they’re lactose intolerant. Avoiding calcium-rich foods, combined with a lack of exercise, puts girls at risk for osteoporosis later in life. Girls 9 to 18 need three cups per day of low-fat or fat-free milk plus another serving of a calcium-rich food such as yogurt and cheese. Girls also need 60 minutes of physical activity each day, including activities that are best for bones like running, jumping rope, walking, basketball, volleyball or cheerleading. Below are some of the most common myths and misconceptions regarding bone health. Surprised? You’re not the only one. Myth: Dairy products cause weight gain. Fact: Dairy products aren’t automatically fattening. Choose low-fat or fat-free milk, yogurt and cheese. Low-fat and fatfree milk and soy drinks contain the same amount of calcium as whole milk – without the added fat. Myth: People with lactose intolerance can’t drink milk. Fact: Many people with lactose intolerance can still enjoy small amounts of milk and other dairy products. You can also try

lactose-reduced milk or a soy drink. Myth: You don’t have to worry about osteoporosis until you’re older. Fact: Girls 9 to 18 are in their critical bone-building years. By age 18, girls will have built close to 90 percent of their bone mass. That means right now is the best time to build strong bones to prevent osteoporosis. Myth: My daughter gets enough exercise at school. Fact: Very few schools require physical education every year. Make sure she gets enough by encouraging after-school activities such as dance, gymnastics or playing outside with friends. Get active as a family by taking a walk after dinner or a long hike on the weekend. Myth: Dairy products are the only way to get calcium. Fact: Milk is still the best source for calcium, as it contains vitamin D, essential for bone health, plus nutrients such as potassium. However, your daughter can get the calcium she needs from foods such as spinach, tofu, almonds and calcium-fortified bread, tortillas and cereals. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office on Women’s Health leads a national bone health campaign for girls 9 to 14 to encourage bone-healthy habits.

MILESTONES

OBITUARY Dennis Patrick Packer Beloved husband, devoted father, loving son and brother. Dennis was born on Nov. 19, 1966 in Idaho Falls, Idaho and passed from this life on May 9, 2009 in Brentwood. In 1971, his family moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, where he attended local schools and graduated from high school in 1984. His love for the outdoors started early and lasted throughout his lifetime. He loved to read, learn and teach. He touched many lives with his beautiful smile and his gentle warm spirit and positive outlook. He married his soul mate, Christine Stott, on March 12,1988. She shared his love for life. They have four beautiful children: Benjamin, Alexander, Elizabeth and Sarah. He shared all his adventures with his family – fishing, hiking, boating, skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, sailing and windsurfing. He rode and raced bikes (BMX and Moto Cross) with his children. The family moved to Brentwood in 2004. Patrick’s career in the automotive collision industry was defined by the contribution he made to the industry by way of teaching

and coaching. He held numerous offices in the industry’s professional associations. He is survived by his wife, Cris, and their children, Ben, Alex, Elizabeth and Sarah; his parents, Dennis R. and Andra Packer of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho; brother, Jonathan R. Packer of Portland, Ore.; and many loved family members: Bob and Pat Nosack of Sandy, Utah; Verl Stott of Midvale, Utah; and Laurie Stott of Salt Lake City, Utah. Patrick has described his life perfectly in a few words he wrote recently: “Life, what an adventure!” About me: I married the girl with a special something that still drives me crazy and we have four great children … Ben, Alex, Liz and Sarah. I do my best to provide an enjoyable adventure for these five souls … they are everything to me. A celebration of Patrick’s life was held Saturday, May 16 at the LDS Church in Brentwood. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations to The Dennis Patrick Packer Memorial Fund be sent to Bank of the West, 4540 Balfour Road, Brentwood, CA 94513. For further information, call 925634-2161.

Engagement Grant and Stacy Gibbons of Oakley are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter, Sarah Gibbons to Timothy Sain, son of Rick and Susie Sain of Redding.

Local metal artists steel the show The metal sculptures of Samuel Gill and David Mudgett will be on display at the Lynn House Gallery in Antioch through Saturday, June 6. The exhibit kicks off May 23, with an artists’ reception at 4 p.m. Since his retirement as a welder, Gill has devoted his time to creating one-ofa-kind metal sculptures. His early work was predominately Western themed, but his artwork has progressively become more abstract. He is currently experimenting with the combination of steel, copper, stone and glass. In addition to creating art, Gill is an advocate for East County art organizations, supporting and encouraging artists to show and share their art. Mudgett started his own metal fabrication business in 1986 after years of working as a pipe fitter. He designs uni-

que metal sculptures consisting mainly of steel, plus natural elements combined with steel. He specializes in large outdoor abstracts, unique steel and stone garden tables, as well as finely detailed indoor pieces finished in a range of patinas. To view his work, visit www.davidmudgett.com. The Lynn House Gallery is located at 809 W. First St. in Antioch and is open from noon to 5 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Admission is free. For more information, call 925-779-7018. Metal sculptures by Samuel Gill such as this bronze piece entitled “Great Horned Owl” will be on display at the Lynn House Gallery. The new exhibit will also feature the works of David Mudgett.

Seen in Maui

Seen in Puerto Vallarta

n celebration of their 60th wedding anniversary, longtime Brentwood residents Robert and Barbara Van Buren spent a week with their family – and the Brentwood Press – in glorious Maui. They report that their Hometown Weekly Newspaper sets a sizzling pace for the local Maui tabloid. Thanks, folks, for letting us stow away for a pleasure trip to paradise.

onathon Knittel, 8, took the Discovery Bay Press on his spring-break Carnival Cruise to Mexico with grandparents David and Cynthia Rardin. While in Puerto Vallarta, Jonathon made a splash with a sea lion that took more interest in the ﬂavor of Jonathon’s hair than the journalistic virtues of his Hometown Weekly Newspaper. Aside from a chlorinated water stain or two, Jonathon’s mother, Julie Knittel, reassures us that no newspapers were harmed in the making of this photo-op.
