Fire board to poll residents

by Rick Lemyre Staff Writer

The East Contra Costa Fire Protection District will soon ask residents what kind of fire service they want, how much they’re willing to pay, and how that money should be collected.

The ECCFPD Board of Directors this week voted to spend $40,000 on a poll to help give it direction in dealing with chronic under-funding that could see the 250-square-mile district run out of money by late 2011. Board Chairman Erick Stonebarger said the poll will probably be conducted after the November election, but in time to analyze the data and put a possible tax measure on the ballot next June.

“It has to be all-encompassing,” Stonebarger said, adding that

he wants it to answer questions such as whether residents want paramedics on the engines, are in favor of two levels of service – suburban in some areas, rural in others – and what type of tax they would prefer, if any.

“We need a snapshot of what the community wants in the way of service,” he said. “It’s not just about how much we can get passed. It’s about finding out what kind of service people want and then putting a package together to get them what they want.”

The poll is expected to take about 15 minutes to complete. The questions will be brought to the board for “reviewing and tweaking, if we deem it necessary,” prior to the poll going forward, Stonebarger said.

Foster care gets a helping hand

by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer

Oakley resident Sue Hobbs, front row right, is part of a team of researchers at the Center for Public Policy Research at UC Davis. The Center is helping to assemble the National Youth in Transition Database, which is aimed at improving foster care through a survey of youth preparing to leave the system.

Next year, an estimated 6,000 California foster-care youths will be emancipated from the state-run system. For many of these 18-year olds, new-found freedom is often fraught with fear and uncertainty.

But now, thanks to a bill signed into law last week, California foster youth will be offered a helping hand into their futures.

“It’s great, a great thing,” said Oakley resident Sue Hobbs, who is completing her doctoral degree in psychology at the Center for Public Policy Research at UC Davis. “We (supporters of the bill) believe that if foster youth can stay in the system with families for longer, they will have more time to mature and transition. It will be a lot less fearful for them.”

the foster-care system, being forced out on their own when they turn 18 leaves them without a support network, few life skills and fewer prospects. It’s the hope of proponents of the bill that the extend time in the care of the foster system will make their eventual transition smoother.

The voluntary extension program – slated to begin in 2012 – will be offered to youth who are not mentally or physically disabled and are in school or working at least 80 hours per month. The new law will allow the state to draw on federal funds to replace the more-than $52 million of state money now being used to place foster children with relatives.

And while participants will still be in contact with social workers and the juvenile court, their relationship will be less stringent and more flexible. see Foster page 22A

A new spiritual path at Kaleidoscope Staff Writer True to its motto, “Life’s Changing Patterns,” the Kaleidoscope cancer support group is broadening itself to include a new pattern, and share it with everyone.

“We live in such a chaotic time,” said Gloria Good, who spearheaded the installation of a new labyrinth dedicated last weekend at the Byron United Methodist Church (BUMC). “We all need a place where we can be quiet, walk, meditate, pray, heal and grow.”

Labyrinths are spiritual walking paths that have been in use around the world for 5,000 years, Good told the assembly gathered at the church Sunday, and have enjoyed a major resurgence in the last 20 years. There is no “correct” way to use one, she said, but most methods are designed to reduce stress, quiet the mind and allow body and spirit to interact.

The BUMC labyrinth is wrought of red brick and sand, replete with symbols such as the stand of water in the center. “Water is nourishing, sustaining, cleansing and comforting,” she said. Blessing stones, available at the path’s entrance, can be inscribed with custom messages, carried to the center and left in the water there. Still to come is a planned grove of trees surrounding the path, giving the labyrinth experience a dimension of serenity, shade and the soothing sound of breezes through leaves.

On sale: A year’s worth of memories

by Samie Hartley Staff Writer After a successful venture into the calendar business last year, the East Contra Costa Historical Society is now distributing its 2011 compilation of local photos, trivia and milestones.

Last year’s effort raised more than $1,000 for the organization, which uses the funds to maintain its museum and grounds on Sellers Avenue. This year, historian Kathy Leighton decided to make the calendar even more fun for East County residents by including more rare photos from Brentwood, Oakley, Byron, Bethel Island and Knightsen, plus little-known fun facts about the area, such as the date of Contra Costa’s establishment as a county: Feb. 18, 1850. Calendar owners might also be surprised to know that 12 inches of snow fell on East County on Jan. 6, 1883 and that Byron Methodist Church was dedicated on June 3, 1884. By flipping through the new calendar, residents will learn all kinds of details about the area they call home.

“We’ve got a better-quality calendar this year,” Leighton said. “We learned a lot from our first go-round, and with more time to plan it out than last year, we’ve ended up with a great calendar that offers a lot more history. I’m really pleased with it. Each page has a photo and a story explaining the picture. This time we’ve included more trivia and we’ve expanded the calendar and made

The picture is included in the East Contra Costa Historical Society’s 2011 calendar, now on sale. it a 13-month calendar, so you can hang it up as soon as this December.”

Leighton said the calendar, now available for purchase, makes a perfect gift for that new East County resident on your holiday shopping list. In fact, many old-timers

are unaware of the history of their region.

For example, Lone Tree Way was named by Joseph G. Prewett in 1905. He chose the name because a solemn sycamore tree grew in the plain between Brentwood and Antioch where the road connecting the

two towns was to be constructed. The calendar features an image of a crew of more than 30 men who helped pave the road with gravel collected from Marsh Creek. The calendar also showcases photos of downtown Brentwood, the Marsh House and the Oakley Hotel.

One of Leighton’s favorite pages in the calendar, created with the help of John Gonzales and Shirley McCall, is the month of August. It features Farrar Park, a local swimming hole that the people of Bethel Island used to enjoy. The park featured picnic tables, a café, a public campground, a motorcycle racetrack and a general store, among other amenities.

Leighton said when she debuted the calendar at the East Contra Costa Historical Society’s annual barbecue last month, attendees flipped through the calendar and began to reminisce about their summers at Farrar Park.

“People were looking at that picture and sharing their memories of swimming there by the bridge in the summer,” Leighton said. “It’s amazing how a photo can bring back so many memories.”

The 2011 East Contra Costa Historical Society Calendar costs $10 and may be purchased at the Brentwood Press office, 248 Oak St., or at the Brentwood Chamber of Commerce office, 8440 Brentwood Blvd., Suite C. For more information, call Leighton at 925-634-0917.

A walk for awareness

ore than 100 people laced up their walking shoes and hit the Marsh Creek trail Sept. 25 for the first Strides Walk for Diabetes Awareness sponsored by the Brentwood Lions Club and Sutter Delta Heath.

“I was encouraged that so many people recognized the need to focus their energy for this cause,” said organizer Fred Ginsler of the Lions. “Family and friends showed up to support loved ones with diabetes. The team spirit and expression of concern gave these kids a feeling of hope that they may live their lives with a certain degree of normality.

We saw families participate as a gesture of love.”

The event raised more than $3,000 for the Diabetes Society, which runs a summer education camp in Santa Cruz where children can learn about how to cope with their illness.

“We’re psyched to make it even bigger and better next year,” Ginsler said.

Tryst with the mythic trickster There was nothing ominous about that morning. No warning signs. It began like most of my adventures at Round Valley: I stretched out at the trailhead – Achilles, hip flexor, lunge – and fired up my GPS. In two hours, 6½ miles and 1,760 feet of elevation gain I’d be standing TAKE IT on the sandstone ledge UTSIDE off Morgan Territory’s Prairie Falcon Trail, gazing at Mt. Diablo veiled in the hot haze of distance.

The Miwok Trail westbound ushered me beneath the shadows of blue oaks anchoring GER the lower lobes of ERICKSON ridges rippling toward the valley. The shade was welcome; the forecast called for the mercury to hit 98 F. I was hauling all the water I could cram into my pack.

Water would be the least of my concerns.

I came to the familiar Miwok/Hardy Canyon split. Not the least bit unnerving. A mile and a half south towered the huntergreen oak and chaparral of Bob Walker Ridge: my up-staircase to scenic splendor. I lowered my gaze and heard the valley’s tall, dry grasses seethe in a southeast breeze like shale hissing in the retreating surf.

A mile later, just short of the Los Vaqueros gate, and still oblivious, I saw him: a solo coyote loping toward the arroyo

He was about 200 yards left and moving with a purpose, probably to trade the withering light for the darkness beneath valley oaks and arroyo willows.

Since he kept coming, it was clear he hadn’t seen me (every coyote I’ve come across has steered the other way). I’d also gotten lucky – the southeast breeze kept me upwind of his nose and ears.

The moment he disappeared behind

a stand of buckeye, now about a hundred yards distant, I bounded off the trail toward a large oak on the arroyo’s east bank and set up my shooting zone. Out came the camera.

On. Exposure: minus two clicks. White balance: shade. Mode: scenery. Zoom: full. I trained the lens on the only open area across the arroyo: a rock spattered with white lichen and dormant brown mosses. Then I scanned the scene for my quarry.

Animals are infuriatingly uncooperative photo subjects. My dog and cats, for cryin’ out loud, rarely hold a pose.

Out in the wild, I’m lucky to get close enough to a coyote, bobcat or turkey vulture – and be quick enough with my equipment – to bag a single respectable snapshot.

But lo and behold, this Round Valley coyote trotted out from behind the bramble, hopped up onto the rock and into a photogenically optimal dappling of sunlight and shade … and just stood there while my shutter went ka-CHEE, ka-CHEE, ka-CHEE. As if he knew the last shot was as good as it was gonna get, and the photo-op was over, the creature hopped off the rock and disappeared behind the foliage. I reviewed my shots for a minute, all the while shaking my head at the colossal blindness of my luck.

Time to go. I turned on my heel to high-step it through the thistle back to the trail – and jumped straight back. “YOW!” The shock lasted only a moment, but it was a moment of heightened electrification, a single synaptic flash short of panic. The next moment, crouched in a defensive pose, I heard myself laughing at myself.

Some guy was standing right behind me. Arm’s-length behind me.

disorientation. “I have that effect on … people,” he said.

I resolved to not admit that this was happening. It was simple: I’d keep the conversation mundane and dispel this bad dream through sheer tedium.

“Did you see the coyote?” I asked.

“Did I see him? Hm. I would not put it that way. Are you seeing yourself right now?

Geez, this guy was hard to distract.

“Ger Erickson,” I said, extending my hand.

I stood there, my arm obstinately outstretched in empty space. Hey, this was my dream and I could survive the most awkward posture.

The guy looked at my hand as if it were radioactive, raised his arm and pinched the wide brim of his hat, the crown of which was tapered upward to form two pointed … wings, leaves, ears? Definitely not a Stetson.

“Ohlétteh,” he replied, returning the introduction. “You stole my image with that black box,” he said, his eyes boring a hole through my camera. “Well done. Now give it back.”

He was tall and spindly, as if he’d skipped a few meals. The ravines in his face were chiseled deep. A scraggly, rust-brown mustache flared across his cheeks. His long face was leather. But the eyes: the eyes were narrow and grey – and something else, something that sent an icy current up my spine and into my scalp. I took a step back.

In all my wanderings I’d never seen anything as terrible as those gaunt and hungry eyes.

They were not human.

So I blurted out at random, “Nice scenery.”

He paused and the corner of his mouth twitched. “I believe I did a pretty good job,” he said in a tone as smooth as cream but expressionless.

So fixated was I on his eyes that it took a moment to register a disturbing fact: the hills behind him were undulating like a desert background blurred by heat ripples.

The anomaly formed an oval just behind his head, like the halo in an Eastern Orthodox icon.

What was especially interesting is that was going to apply to loans currently on the books, not just new loans made after it passed. One of the big sticking points to many loan mods, short sales and foreclosures is whether the loan is purchasemoney or recourse. Many lenders will negotiate more on purchase-money loans, because they have fewer options to pursue the borrower after.

If a borrower tries to “walk away” from a recourse loan, their lender may be able to pursue them later, so the lender tends to take a harder line in negotiating on those loans.

Well, unfortunately, our Governor vetoed the bill as he felt this new law was amending a prior contract after the fact. I have to grudgingly admit that he is technically correct. I was still hoping it was going to pass because it would have helped so many people.

THANKS, ARNIE I told you a few months ago about a bill pending before the California legislature called SB 1178 that I was hoping was going to pass. Here is the background info: In California, “purchasemoney” loans have some special legal protections.

In general, if you get a loan to purchase a principal residence, the lender can only pursue the property in the event of non-payment. This means they can’t pursue you personally for any deficiency. This even applies to junior mortgages IF they were truly used to purchase the property.

The problem lies in that once you refinance a purchase-money loan, it loses that special legal protection and becomes what’s called a “recourse” loan. This means the lender CAN now pursue you via judicial foreclosure, or a junior lender who gets wiped out after the 1st lender forecloses can pursue you in the courts. Many (if not most people…) were not aware that they were losing this legal protection when they were refinancing their loans.

SB 1178 would have changed this to where purchase-money loans would have retained this legal protection, even after a refinance. (It would not have covered any equity money that you had

Tiki Too sets sail for Fleet Week

by Samie Hartley Staff Writer

Some girls enjoy shopping while others like getting their nails done, but for the girls of the Sea Scout Ship Tiki Too, nothing beats sailing. The 11-member crew features eight Oakley teens who are preparing to close out their fall vacation on a high note by showcasing their skills at this weekend’s Fleet Week in San Francisco.

The crew’s vessel, PTF-26, also known as Liberty, was the last boat of its kind to serve in the Navy during the Vietnam War, and now Liberty is a training base for the Sea Scout crew.

But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t get out on the water for some fun. This Saturday, the Tiki Too crew will help maneuver Liberty through Fleet Week’s Parade of Ships. On Sunday, the girls will be available to chat with visitors about their program and the ship they train on.

“This weekend’s Fleet Week will be really exciting,” said Sierra Baca, a Freedom High School student and crew member for a year.

“Our boat, the Liberty, will be docked at Pier 45 and people can come see it and learn all about it. The Blue Angels will also be there, so it should be an exciting time. I hope to see lots of people there.”

The crew consists of Baca, Allegra Buch, Sabrina Caster, Jessica Curiel, Kayla DelaTorre, Selina Martin, Katie McCrummen, Liz Morine, Sam Morine, Cierra Stevens and Anna Subias. Mary Eldridge, Kalia Kaddoura, Britnee Panell and Alicia Turner are also members

of the crew, but they’re off at college and don’t train regularly with the crew, which meets twice a week to practice.

Captain Jim West, who is both the director of the Liberty Maritime Museum and the Tiki Too skipper, said the girls have been hard at work preparing Liberty for her voyage to the Bay, cleaning, painting and managing engineering preparations for the weekend. When they’re not polishing the ship, the girls are preparing for regattas – sea scout competitions that include events such as rowing, sailing, rope climbing and knot tying.

True to Liberty’s spirit, the girls must also know historic maritime skills such as breeches buoy and hoisting the scuttlebutt. West said Tiki Too is the most successful Sea Scout group in Northern California, taking 14 first-place awards last season.

Liz Morine, a Freedom High School student, said she enjoys being a part of the crew because of all the activities she gets to participate in with the team, whether it’s cruising to the Channel Islands or preparing the ship for events such as Fleet Week. Even the regatta competitions are fun because they’re working together.

West hopes to recruit four new active members for next season. Girls between the ages of 13 and 17 who are interested in learning more about the sea scout program should call crew member Katie McCrummen at 925-978-7082.

For more information about Liberty, visit www. libertymaritime.org.

Each year, American drug consumers give billions of dollars to the drug cartels that have plunged Mexico into civil unrest.

According to the United States Government Accountability office, the Mexican cartels take in as much as $23 billion in revenue every year.

In many ways, the American population’s refusal to give up illicit drugs – a 2008 World Health Organization report concluded that the United States has the highest levels of illegal drug use in the world – bears direct responsibility for the beheadings and the massacres that now take place on a daily basis, because the cartels would be unable to operate without a reliable and eager customer north of the border. But there are other factors in play as well.

Los Angeles has been a breeding ground for gang activity since the days of alcohol prohibition. Today, its location between the drug routes originating from Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez make it a prime destination for drug dispersal throughout the southwest. The Los Angeles metropolitan area of 10 million residents guarantees local drug dealers, street gangs and the drug cartels who set the illicit trade in motion an abundant population of customers.

The city of Los Angeles, however, has played a far greater role in the crisis that has entrenched itself in Mexico and Latin America, knocking on America’s door.

Some of the roots of today’s increasingly grisly conflict can be traced back the City of Angels.

The roots of the crisis date back decades. Officer Alfredo Aguayo of the LAPD’s Gang Enforcement Unit explained that the 1980s and early ’90s saw the rise of brutal street gangs that brought chaos to the streets of Los Angeles, the most infamous being MS-13, the Mara Salvatrucha – and its rival, M-18, also known as “18th Street.”

“MS-13 and M-18 are funded by criminal activity – robbery, extortion, human trafficking and street-level narcotics sales,” said Aguayo. “Just recently, these gangs have been implicated in three or four murders in the Hollywood area.”

According to Aguayo, because the gangs consist largely of illegal residents from Central America, the government has tried to keep them off the streets by means of mass deportations after arrests are made. In 2009, nearly 130,000 criminals were removed from the United States, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. About a third of them were reportedly arrested for drug-related crimes.

“This has been happening since the 1980s and ’90s. Criminals do their state

time and then are handed over to the feds and deported – ‘deported felons,’ as they are called,” said Aguayo. However, Central America – a region made up of fragile governments and traumatized populations emerging from years of war and dictatorship – has not been able to handle the brutality of the hardened criminals, and the result has been staggering. An area known as the northern triangle, consisting of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, now has some of the highest murder rates in the world.

An article in the Latin American Herald Tribune, published at the beginning of the year, showed that El Salvador recorded more than 4,300 murders in 2009 – the

highest in more than a decade – in a nation of only 6 million. Crime is rampant, and the deteriorating security has allowed Mexico’s drug cartels to gain a foothold on the streets of national capitals and in the lawless jungles.

In June, Guatemalan National Police pointed its finger at the ferocious drug cartel Los Zetas after four people were decapitated – one of the severed heads placed near the steps of the Guatemalan Congress. The gruesome discovery proved that America’s southern border is not the only boundary that Mexico’s spiraling drug viosee Habit page 15A

Troops honored, supported in Antioch The parking lot at Antioch’s Straw Hat Pizza was packed with cars and bikes on display for the first Troop Fest fundraiser, held in support of combat veterans and their families.

People attending Troop Fest last weekend had a chance to jot down their messages of support for inclusion in care packages to troops overseas.

by Rick Lemyre Staff Writer

It wasn’t so much a surge as it was a constant flow, as motorcycles, cars, trucks and people flowed into Antioch’s Straw Hat Pizza last weekend in support of combat veterans.

“I was worried about not having enough cars and bikes in the show, wondering if people would come,” said organizer Josie Monaghan of East County Military Families and Friends. “I was so elated the whole day, watching car after car with groups of people fall in line. Everything ran as smooth as can be and the atmosphere was delightful.”

The event was part of an effort to raise $10,000 for a Veterans Peer to Peer Resource recreation center, run for and by veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.

Members of the Warriors Watch Riders and Blue Star Families helped put on the event, which included a bake sale, raffle, music from DJ Mo and live entertainment by Strumming Veterans. Straw Hat owner Sal Listek donated a portion of his store’s proceeds for the day to the cause as well.

In the car and bike show, top honors – the People’s Choice Award – went to Denise Aragon and her 2010 Camaro, purchased in memory of her son Sgt. John D. Aragon, who was killed in ac-

Two East Bay pipelines on PG&E watch list

by Justin Lafferty Staff Writer In response to the September pipeline explosion in San Bruno, Pacific Gas & Electric has released a list of 100 pipeline segments throughout the state that the company is watching for possible repairs – two of which are located in East Contra Costa County.

PG&E is evaluating 2,066 feet of underwater natural gas pipe near Sherman Island Levee Road and the north side of the Antioch Bridge to make sure it can withstand earthquakes or soil erosion.

PG&E spokesman Joe Molica isn’t sure when the engineering evaluation process begun within the past year will conclude, but according to Molica, “We regularly check the river crossing and have found no liquid accumulation.”

The utility company is also monitoring five segments totaling 7,777 feet between Jersey Island Road and Taylor Road on Bethel Island for possible corrosion, but no work has been planned yet.

Molica said the Antioch Bridge and Bethel Island segments were not included in the company’s top 100 list in 2007 or 2008, but their potential for problems has merited their inclusion in the 2009 list.

He stressed that neither pipeline is currently displaying any problems, but are being monitored to see if any work needs to be done in the near future.

John Carter/Press Graphic

PG&E is monitoring 100 pipe segments for corrosion and other potential hazards. There are two such segments in the East Bay: No. 15, on the north side of the Antioch Bridge, and No. 36, in Bethel Island.

PG&E spokeswoman Katie Romans said the natural gas pipeline segments on the list are in no immediate danger, but are marked for long-term planning.

PG&E customers can also look online to see maps of any pipeline in their area.

Romans added that the company’s regulators at the California Public Utilities Commission asked PG&E to release this

information to the public following the San Bruno disaster.

“None of the projects listed represent urgent projects or projects that present a public risk,” Romans said. “Our crews make real-time repairs.”

The only other Contra Costa County segment on PG&E’s list is located in San Pablo, where 294 feet of pipe are being

examined for earthquake readiness. According to the company’s website, construction will begin next year,.

Romans said the local pipelines (Nos. 15 and 36 on the list) are transmission pipelines, the main high-pressure arteries of PG&E’s system. Once a year, pipelines are checked by foot and by using gas detection meters in helicopters. Molica said corrosion is also evaluated every two months and that maintenance work is done once a year to pipeline valves.

Romans said there’s no precise correlation between ranking on the watch list and need for repairs – for instance, a pipeline labeled No. 1 on the list doesn’t mean it’s the highest priority or the one that will be handled first. She said the rankings are an algorithm used by engineers.

Pipelines make the list based on the potential of third-party damage (such as construction work), corrosion, ground movement and damage to the physical design of the pipeline.

“I think we’ve seen a greater interest in the steps that PG&E takes to ensure the safety of our system,” Romans said.

“Due to the serious consequences, we use very conservative assumptions.”

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage Matters

By Trevor Frey

It’s MGIC Below is a previous article based on the Federal Housing Administration’s (FHA) recent increase in monthly mortgage insurance.

Private mortgage insurance now makes even more sense for those who qualify…

Okay, not David Copperfield type magic but in the “Tri City” sales area (Antioch, Brentwood, and Oakley) inventory sure is disappearing. In March and April of 2009 alone over 850 homes were sold between the three cities, compared to only 516 homes for March and April of this year. What this has created is a substantial increase in the actual sales price based on the substantial lack of actual inventory; a 16.7% increase in March, and an 8.7% jump in April. The amount of potential buyers has increased, while the amount of inventory has decreased…not magic, statistics.

Statistically speaking, the private mortgage insurance company MGIC has noticed the median increase in sales price, and adjusted their guidelines accordingly.

If you are an FHA buyer, and you have a credit score above 680, you’ll want to hear this: Effective May 1, 2010 MGIC is moving seven California regions up from their Tier 2 “risk level” to their Tier 1 “risk level”.

This HUGE change in guidelines will allow would be buyers with a 680 score, versus the previous Tier 2 score of 720 many positives; they can purchase a home using 95% conventional financing, versus 96.5% FHA financing; there is no upfront mortgage insurance premium (MIP) that only in-

creases your loan amount, and debt, from the start; buyers are able to take advantage of any home improvements or appreciation as most lenders allow for a new appraisal to cancel MGIC’s mortgage insurance, versus FHA where you either need to refinance or wait five years to remove the mortgage insurance; a substantial overall savings in both three and five year periods.

Assuming a purchase price of $250,000, and an interest rate of 5.00%, MGIC’s private mortgage insurance costs over a three year period would be $3,308, versus FHA at $8,438. Again, there is no upfront MIP to deal with and the actual coverage rates are lower than those of FHA. Now that’s truly MGIC! With the spring and summer real estate markets right around the corner it is important to arm yourself with as much information as possible. The beginning of this article touched on the dramatically low inventory our market has to offer, and if you are an FHA buyer continually being turned down because of either cash, or conventional offers, it might be time to rethink your approach. Now that private mortgage insurance is available at 95% with a 680 FICO score, if you’re able, you should magically convert yourself into a conventional buyer!

Habit from page 9A lence and those perpetuating it are willing to cross.

Unfortunately, the deportations provide little, if any, silver lining for the United States. MS-13 and other street gangs have maintained their presence in Los Angeles and expanded their operations across the country as far away as Virginia, New England and Alaska. The FBI estimates that their membership across North America is well into the tens of thousands.

“They are all over the USA … there is MS-13 activity at a city, state and federal level,” said Aguayo, adding that the problem extends to the San Francisco Bay Area. “As for me personally, I have had contact with MS members in San Jose.”

According to a report by the Center for Immigration Studies published in September of 2008, the group is involved in trafficking drugs, weapons and people over the border, and is unifying at a continental level, making it far more disciplined, efficient and dangerous. The report goes on to say that the northern triangle is the epicenter for transnational gang violence, suggesting that the need for international cooperation – from the United States and Mexico to the rest of Latin America – is more important than ever.

Some of that much-needed cooperation is already taking place. As the violence crosses borders, the LAPD and police departments from Central America have put together an “exchange program,” giving police officials the chance to see the

COMMUNITY

situation from an international level.

“There are officers from Guatemala doing ride-alongs with the LAPD, while our officers are going down to Central America,” said Aguayo. “It’s clear they don’t do things the same way we do,” alluding to the struggles police in Central America are trying to overcome. At the beginning of 2010, Guatemala’s National Police chief and top anti-narcotics official were arrested for cocaine trafficking, highlighting how serious the drug traffickers’ hold over Central American governments and security forces has become.

While the ride-along program gives North American law enforcement a chance to work together, Aguayo stresses that the LAPD’s primary function is to protect the streets of Los Angeles, not assess whether or not an incarcerated criminal could pose a threat to the security situation in Central America.

“We don’t evaluate whether or not we should deport someone,” he said. “As far as we are concerned, this is a matter for the feds to decide.”

As the federal government’s attention shifts to the remote tribal areas of Pakistan and Yemen, it seems unlikely that serious action will soon be taken to help alleviate the ills that threaten to define the future of Latin America, a region once high on America’s priority list when threatened by the Soviet Union.

The communist empire is long gone, but the drug cartels that rose from the ashes of war and instability have slipped in through America’s back door.

Gang summit to focus on prevention

by Justin Lafferty Staff Writer

In an effort to prevent an incipient local gang problem from growing into a major one, East County leaders will hold a summit this weekend, educating teens and parents on making smart choices.

District 5 Supervisor Federal Glover, along with members of local police departments and the District Attorney’s office, are holding a gang summit – emphasizing the dangers of aligning with street gangs – on Saturday, Oct. 9 at 4 p.m. at Deer Valley High School. The event is free and open to the public “There are alternatives to getting involved in gangs,” Glover said. “I think that throughout the nation, we start to see more as we continue to grow. It’s like anything else.

Some things come along with the growth.”

Glover said he wants to work with other agencies to prevent teens and young people from joining gangs, since they are the most susceptible to temptation. He last held a gang summit in 2007 in Pittsburg, but wanted to organize another one now for the fresh crop of high school students. While the earlier summit informed the public about gangs, the upcoming summit will focus on early prevention.

Ed Diokno, a policy analyst in Glover’s office, said that while the problem isn’t as bad

as in other parts of the Bay Area, gang activity has increased over the past few years.

While groups align themselves primarily with Norteños and Sureños, gangs affiliated with the Crips, Bloods and MS-13, as well as smaller groups, are also active in the area.

“The ties between local gangs and their affiliates are getting stronger with gangs from other areas,” he said. “We’re focusing in on parents and students, and the main message we want to tell them is that there’s help out here. There are choices you can make to address your needs without going into gangs, without resorting to criminal activities.”

The Antioch Police Department will lead a Gangs 101 class at the summit, teaching parents the early signs of gang recruitment and how to address them. The event also features presentations by other police departments and the District Attorney’s office, showing the consequences of bad decisions. A panel of former gang members will talk with students and parents about the ugly realities of gang life. Glover said he is also working heavily with faith-based organizations for this year’s event.

“Gangs themselves are only the symptoms of what’s wrong in people’s lives,” Diokno said. “It could be alienation, drug abuse; it could come from dysfunctional families.

The need for protection, the need to belong – all these factors contribute.”

Vote Moore out Editor: How can Reggie Moore’s slogan be “Stronger Together” when all his actions try to divide the community?

He refuses to meet with community groups like United Citizens for Better Neighborhoods and Friday Morning Breakfast Club. He has refused to appear at two candidates forums and refused to participate in the Quality of Life Forum.

He doesn’t use his monthly stipend for his phone and Internet so he doesn’t have to answer to his constituents. Seems to me he doesn’t want any “coming together.”

Vote smart. Vote out Moore.

Deceptive ballot statement Editor: In my preparation to vote for the November election, I recently had the pleasure of reading the ballot statement of candidate and current Councilman Reggie Moore, which states, “I led the way on building the Prewett Park Community Center, which will provide a safe place for our children to study and play, and increase library access to Antioch residents.” Intrigued by Councilman Moore’s “claim to fame” statement, I decided to research this matter to assist me and my family in casting our votes for City Council.

According to the City of Antioch’s website, a City Council subcomittee was formed in 1989 to establish a master plan for the community park funded through Mello Roos bonds in the amount of $50 million.

The park master plan, approved by the council in 1991, included the new community center to be completed in Phase 2 of the project. Further investigation revealed that in 2006 Mayor Don Freitas and City Manager Jim Jakel brought Lonnie Karste on board to act as project manager to move forward with building the community center.

After concluding that Councilman Moore’s ballot statement was purposely and inherently deceptive, I contacted Moore by

Furthermore, I asked Mr. Moore to “please explain why you are attempting to take personal credit for a MAJOR community development project (during an election year) of which you played no part in its creation yet decided to place this fraudulent claim on your ballot statement in order to deceive Antioch voters.”

In light of a recent poll that indicated 63 percent of Antioch residents are dissatisfied with the performance of our current elected officials, I passed this information on to several members of our community and collectively we contacted Councilman Moore and asked him to explain his actions. As he has done throughout his four-year term on the Antioch City Council, Moore refused to respond to our questions.

Given the current state of the financial crisis affecting our city and the severe crime issues negatively impacting our neighborhoods, do you really want someone like Reggie Moore, who files deceptive ballot statements and refuses to meet with or communicate with concerned citizens, representing our community?

Vote Yes on Measure P Editor: It’s time for everyone who cares about the City of Antioch to literally “Put your money where your mouth is.” And frankly, I can’t believe I just said that. These are hard financial times for all of us, my family included, but I can’t in good conscience ignore the fact that if we don’t vote for Measure P, we’re going to lose even more than we’re going to gain by saving a few cents on the dollar.

Do I want to vote for yet another tax?

Of course not! The real question is: do I want to see the city I’ve lived in for almost 30 years slide deeper into debt with nothing to show for the sacrifices made by so many who used to work for all of us and are no longer here because revenues from parcel taxes, home sales and funds from the state have dropped to a bare minimum?

Enough is enough! It’s time to bite the bullet and do what needs to be done: protect what we still have and fight to keep the few police and personnel left that keep our city safe and running smoothly. I don’t want to pick up the phone one day and call for help and find out that there’s no one left to answer the phone.

You can believe me when I say this isn’t an easy decision for me to make, but it’s the only choice on the ballot we have that can help stabilize the city budget.

A better vision for Oakley Editor: I’d like to address frustrated Oakley residents who feel their council doesn’t pay attention. Time and again we have gone before them, voicing our dissatisfaction with the direction in which they are taking our city.

The current City Council believes it is acceptable to heap more and more highdensity housing projects springing up like weeds, and pleading with big-box stores and developers to pave over every last inch of agricultural land and cover it with concrete. Do we want our city to become just another East County Shopping Center with traffic, air and noise pollution even worse than it is now?

I agree with candidates Rodger McKeon, Paul Seger and even Bruce Connelly that Oakley should be a destination not only for shopping, but for its inherent characteristics.

For example, the city’s entrance at Highway 4 and Main Street has a vineyard boasting the oldest vines in the state of California still producing delicious wine. Surely we don’t need to bulldoze the whole lot!

Our city is comprised of many semirural areas with farms, vineyards, equestrian activities, and superb bass fishing. In fact, the local bass fishing tournaments attract anglers from all over the world.

So why can’t we make Oakley become a better version of itself? How about having a wine-tasting room on some of our vineyards with picnic areas, charming bed-and-breakfasts and nice restaurants on site so visitors could plan to spend a couple of days here and enjoy our heritage? Let’s share the bass tournaments equally among Oakley’s two marinas so anglers can fish, eat locally, taste local wines and stay over a night or two.

Oakley’s residents have a unique opportunity here to craft our city they way we’d like it to be: a city whose council and residents can work together for its future growth yet still retain its semi-rural charm.

Oakley is still small enough that, with reasonable compromises, it could encompass all the things we hold dear: rich agricultural farmland producing a plethora of locally grown fruits, nuts, vegetables and outstanding wine grapes; aim for medium-density housing with gardens and trails contributing to a stress-free environment; small, locally owned businesses not only in an attractive, revitalized downtown, but throughout Oakley as well.

Oakland has a goal of growing at least 5 percent of their produce locally, and their redevelopment agency is committing to that goal. A new report entitled “Cultivating the Commons: An Assessment of the Potential

for Urban Agriculture on Oakland’s Public Land” released in 2009 identifies 1,200 acres of vacant and underutilized public land in Oakland that could potentially be used for food production (www.oaklandfood. org/home).

Oakley has the means and resources to do exactly the same, yet the council sees fit to destroy our agricultural heritage by selling our farmland and building on it. If we want change, then we must do it now! Don’t forget to vote on Nov. 2.

Eve Diamond Oakley

Act with determination and focus Editor: This November, America will speak up by way of casting their vote, and those voices must be heard, from the city to the federal level. Being a citizen of Antioch, I have been victimized over the last few years by the poor choices, ineffectiveness and non-engagement of two Antioch council members, namely Reggie Moore and Martha Parsons.

We “victims” have the opportunity to oust these two in November. It will not be easy, having recently heard that Reggie Moore will have union backing.

Councilman Moore’s exploits regarding the following: the $40,000 he requested for the Halloween Carnival; refusal to meet with law-abiding citizens without attorney approval; refusal to participate in City Council candidates forum; voted against the teen curfew; pushed to settle the Section 8 lawsuit; tried to force the council into creating a Civilian Police Oversight Committee to help bolster the plaintiffs’ Section 8 lawsuit; and sympathizing with the Oakland cop killer.

And most recent: lying on his ballot statement that he “led the way on the community center project.”

Councilman Moore has been toxic and harmful to our community. Reggie Moore’s continued presence on the City Council for the next four years will destroy our quality of life.

Now is the time to act and to act with determination and focus. If citizens do not work together, collectively, to defeat Reggie Moore’s re-election campaign, Antioch will be stuck with him for another four years.

This November’s candidates will feature Arne Simonson, Gary Agopian and Wade Harper, all of whom truly emphasize the integrity, compassion and focus necessary to guide Antioch into the future.

Lastly, some of us have children that will vote for the first time in their lives this November. Be a parent – ensure that they are indeed registered to vote, walk them through the voting process and spend time with them explaining the importance of their privilege to vote and what it means to their future.

Letters from page 16A Supporting Dawson, Graves and Steele Editor: I am writing this letter to support three candidates for the Town of Discovery Bay Community Services District. Each of these three candidates offers something unique and important to our community, and I know they will each work diligently for our town: Both Kevin Graves and Brian Dawson were appointed to the board last year, and in the time they have served as appointees, they have accomplished much: • Kevin Graves is the sitting board president, and under his leadership, the board has worked productively and efficiently to get the town’s business done. CSD meetings are often shorter than they have been in recent years, which audience members appreciate.

Kevin helped to focus the board on key issues and worked collaboratively with all directors as well as staff to ensure that progress was made on areas of concern to the community, including landscaping, water and wastewater planning, fiscal planning and more.

• Brian Dawson is both a CSD director as well as the treasurer of the Discovery Bay Elementary PTA. He vigorously advocated against shuttering fire stations and helped bring the issue out to the community at large.

He contributed to the formation of the P6 Committee, and advocated for improved parks, including the forthcoming basketball court at Regatta Park. Brian has urged greater transparency with the community via a professional website with posted agendas

as well as official e-mail addresses that are subject to public records requests.

• Both Kevin and Brian urge fiscal responsibility, understanding that the current economy as well as the community as a whole demand that the district run lean while still providing necessary services. They also contributed to the board actions that are leading to the development of a new longrange plan for water and wastewater services.

I am also supporting Chris Steele, who will bring another dimension to the board: • Chris is a local small-business owner and an active member of the Discovery Bay Chamber of Commerce, serving as CEO/ president of the chamber in 2009. In this capacity, he has already demonstrated his commitment to the town, but also represents a key audience that has not been served well by the CSD in recent years – local businesses.

As a business owner myself, I think it important that our local governing board consider the needs of both residents and businesses, and know that Chris will help to ensure that happens.

As an active member of the Discovery Bay community, I frequently attend our CSD meetings and understand the dynamics of our town, and know that all three of these candidates will take a proactive approach to all issues.

For all of these reasons, I am supporting Kevin Graves, Brian Dawson and Chris Steele in their candidacy for CSD director. I know that if they are elected, each will build on the good work of this year’s CSD board, and the community will continue to progress see Letters page 19A

Voice For Us.” That statement couldn’t be further than the truth. He is “An Independent Voice From Us.” Look at his voting record since he has been in office and you will see that he votes in lockstep with Queen Pelosi 95.2 percent of the time and gets 15 percent from Pelosi’s Donor Network.

He does not work for us constituents but relies totally on maintaining his office by hanging onto Pelosi’s skirt. He voted for the Healthcare bill that will not only bankrupt the country; it will bankrupt most of us also.

Read the fine print. We can’t afford any more puppets in Congress.

Robert Schwenke Discovery Bay

Main St.

Editor: Oakley’s General Plan (GP) requires the city to “Continue to implement (and refine as necessary) a Right to Farm Ordinance, which protects ranchers and farmers within an historically agricultural district from nuisance complaints and unreasonable restrictions and regulations on farm structures or farming practices” (GP, Conservation Element 6.1.E).

I believe that Oakley is out of compliance with the spirit and intent of the GP and many of its residents, in its transparent quest to attract big-box retail by maximizing our population. Their arguments are paper thin in dismissing those wanting a full GP review.

The council is relentless in its pursuit to change residents’ perception of traditional Oakley, honoring it in concept only. They are visibly hostile toward those wishing to change to our General Plan. It doesn’t really matter if they get 100 or 500 people to applaud another high-density project; they are not acting in an honorable manner when they dismiss us.

As evidenced by their continued stalling in the East Cypress Corridor lawsuit, where two separate rulings require “adequate mitigation for significant impacts to agricultural resources.” Greenbelt Alliance failed attempts at reasoning with Oakley suggests, “when farmland is converted to urban use, a requirement that conservation easements be obtained on other land will not replace the converted land.

However, conservation easements can diminish the development pressures created by the conversion of farmland and can provide important assistance to the public and private sectors in preserving other farmland against the danger of the domino effect created by the project.”

Setting aside acreage or establishing fees to maintain farmland will enhance Oakley’s character when the city finally fulfills its legal obligation. I would contend they are deliberately tying up the plaintiff’s resources while development consumes farmland without mitigation, and have no intention of complying until it’s too late. Unfortunately, in the meantime, nearly all of Oakley’s aging farmers are instead vulnerable and sell their lands to prospecting developers to aid in their retirements.

Oakley politicians abuse the concept of traditional Oakley when marketing the “country feel” and “country charm” sentiment but they don’t care, and it shows.

Meanwhile they charge unabashed toward complete urbanization without committing to the merging of urbanization and, as obligated, “Allow agriculture to continue as a viable use of land that reflects the community’s origins …” (GP, Goal 6.1).

We need action: Oakley’s Right to Farm Ordinance, residential and commercial design guidelines and the GP all need revision or soon to develop Oakley more wisely; Oakley developers choose guidelines compatible with profit maximization, not character.

With the assistance of local 4-H clubs and sustainable-growth advocates, I will

promote community gardens near highdensity developments and within new neighborhoods to satisfy desires to urbanize while maintaining the historical character of Oakley, and satisfying the courts’.

By planning near low-income neighborhoods, we can provide a greater sense of community, increase purchasing power by providing food. Redevelopment funds eliminate blight, grow food and guard our General Funds for city services.

Jumping on the JumpBunch wagon

by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer The last time Johann Vethavanam enjoyed a coaching gig so much, he was managing his daughter’s softball team. But lately the owner of JumpBunch Sports and Fitness for Kids has been seeing a different side of sports, one that includes three-legged races, freestyle dancing and a healthy dose of tugof-war.

“Oh, my gosh – this is so much fun,” said Vethavanam, owner of the East Bay franchise.

“I love sports and I have always wanted to teach. I coached my daughter’s softball team in 2000 and we went undefeated and I won manager of the year. So I took a look at things and thought, ‘I’m good at this’ and I jumped in.”

Jumped into the JumpBunch to be exact, a mobile sports and fitness program for ages 2 to 12. Convinced that exercise is not only healthy but entertaining, Vethavanam is taking his enthusiasm – and his gear – on the road; offering half-hour to 45minute sessions of frivolity, fitness and education to schools, city recreation programs, private parties and summer camps.

Begun in the late 1990s, JumpBunch locations are scattered throughout the country, specializing in structured programs that introduce children to a wide range of sports and activities while building coordination, self-esteem and, Vethavanam hopes, a lifelong love of fitness.

But the real appeal of JumpBunch, according to Vetha-

Johann Vethavanam, owner of JumpBunch, teaches kids that exercise and fitness can be fun and healthy. vanam, is one thing kids crave – variety. “We offer something that other programs don’t and that’s change,” he said. “One day it might be the balance beams and tunnels, the next it might be croquet or field hockey or soccer. We do more than tumbling and gymnastics; we like to mix it up.”

While the JumpBunch programs are structured in terms

of plans that instructors follow and age-appropriate activities and toys, Vethavanam also has the advantage of tailoring his sessions to the group and setting.

“If we’re working with a regular school we have a weekly program. The city recreation programs are six-week sessions, and for birthday parties or summer camps, the time period is different too,” said Vethavanam. “But whatever the group, it’s always, always fun.”

But beyond the fun, there are lessons to be learned from JumpBunch. “We try to instill in the kids the importance of a healthy lifestyle, such as eating right, making sure you have a good breakfast and how it all goes together,” said Vethavanam.

“We do a lot of talking about health as well as fitness.

“You know, I worked for corporate America for the longest time and I was ready for a change, something different from what I was doing before, and this is it. It’s a fantastic feeling to know that the kids are enjoying and benefiting from this (BunchJump programs). It’s wonderful to show up at a school or class and have the kids cheer to see you. It’s good for them, and it’s good for me. It’s a perfect match.”

JumpBunch classes will be offered through the Oakley Recreation Department beginning Oct. 20, and at the Ambrose Center in Bay Point on Oct. 16. BunchJump sessions are currently underway through First 5 in Antioch and space is still available. For registration or additional information, call 925-457-9374 or 925-754-7173.

Shea’s Trilogy makes positive economic impact Trilogy at The Vineyards recently unveiled its grand $19 million, 34,000-squarefoot Club Los Meganos, the centerpiece of Contra Costa County’s premier Active Lifestyle residential community.

Located in Brentwood, the expansive project by Shea Homes Trilogy generated hundreds of much-needed construction jobs and is expected by local civic leaders to make a substantial economic impact on hard-hit East Contra Costa County.

In recent years, Brentwood and the surrounding region have seen a significant slowdown in new-home construction, so the creation of more than 200 jobs were created over the past two years, 40 of which were fulltime positions, thrilled Brentwood Economic Development Director Hazel Wetherford.

“Companies and workers involved in Trilogy’s construction had a positive economic effect on Brentwood, which is most welcome,” said Wetherford. “The result has been much-

needed revenue and growth for our community businesses and the city itself.”

“The Shea Homes mission is to be the most respected builder in the U.S. by enhancing people’s lives, and through the construction of this project during these trying times we will certainly enhance the life of our local community,” said Dan O’Brien, area president for Shea Homes Active Lifestyle Communities. “In addition to job creation, it has the potential to become a new wine country

destination with economic, social, recreational and cultural benefits that extend beyond The Vineyards to Brentwood at large.”

Shea Homes has been creating jobs and actively reinforcing market positions by acquiring other properties across the United States, including a recent $10 million purchase of Jubilee in Lacey, Wash., southeast of Seattle. In June of 2010, Shea also completed a $10.5 million multi-phase purchase of The Cascades of Groveland community near Orlando, Fla.

Cornfields yield $30 million in pot

Members of the Knitting Circle meet each week to share projects and swap ideas.

Seniors in stitches

An anonymous tip led law enforcement officials last week to nearly 15,000 marijuana plants hidden in the cornfields of Byron near the Orwood Resort. Officials placed the estimated street value at more than $30 million.

“I have been working narcotics since the ’90s and this is one of the largest busts I’ve ever seen,” said Commander Norm Wielsch of the Contra Costa County Narcotics Enforcement Team. “We’ve definitely put a dent in somebody’s business, at least for a while.”

Wielsch said the mature plants were hidden between rows of corn stalks on approximately 100 acres of private fields on Orwood Road. Detectives from the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department and mem-

bers of the Campaign Against Marijuana Task Force from the Dublin, San Ramon and Walnut Creek police departments descended on the property around 6 a.m. on Sept. 30. They found a deserted encampment near the crops.

“I think they (the growers) heard us coming and had time to take off,” said Wielsch, who added that the owners of the property live out of town and are not connected with the case. “The chances of us finding them are, I’d say, slim to none; you can’t pull prints off the plants. But we’ve had a few leads and we’ll see where it goes.”

The 14,792 plants, varying in size from 4 to 15 feet tall, were confiscated and buried in an undisclosed landfill.

The Brentwood Knitter’s Circle meets every Wednesday from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. at Brentwood Senior Activity Center, 193 Griffith Lane. Circle membership is free to Brentwood Senior Citizens’ Club members, but anyone interested in yarn crafts is welcome.

The knitting club’s founder, June Peters, said she got the idea for the club earlier this year, but wasn’t discouraged when no one showed up for the first meeting in March.

By the second week, Peters’ circle grew to two, and now 15 regular members meet each week to share projects and swap ideas.

“Since March more women have joined, fine-tuning a craft they learned years ago, or learning a new one to master before more time passes,” Peters said. “We laugh with happiness at our newfound successes and

laugh at our errors in the learning process.

Along with learning knitting techniques, we learn about families, foods and customs.”

Peters said the Knitting Circle includes members from Sierra Leone, Fiji, England, Germany, Norway and Chile as well as the United States.

Peters has many patterns and ideas to share and maintains a needle/hook lending library. Bring an old unfinished project or start a new one. Donations of yarn, knitting and crochet tools are always welcome and greatly appreciated.

Non-members of the seniors club are welcome, but must purchase a $12 activity card, which is good for six meetings.

For more information, call Peters at 925-626-7889 or e-mail junepeters@yahoo. com.

Roping up family fun

Foster from page 1A

Designed to solicit information on a variety of topics from 17-year-olds about to exit the foster-care system, NYTD is looking for volunteers, by means of the survey, to document foster-care youths’ thoughts and questions on health care, positive relationships with adults, educational goals, financial self-sufficiency and high-risk behaviors. The resulting database will track the youths, conduct a second survey when they turn 19, and another when they turn 21. All states will collect and report their information on a new youth sampling every three years.

“The purpose of the foster survey is to find out ways to help foster youth when they emancipate and help them transition into adulthood,” said Hobbs. “We’re trying to determine (through the surveys) how

the current programs that are in place are working, and what needs to be changed.”

Hobbs is hopeful that the new California program will give foster kids a variety of options and a fighting chance at a normal, productive life. “It (the Senate bill) does coincide nicely with the NYTD,” said Hobbs.

“The more help we can give these kids, the better – the better chance they have a happy future.”

To make a donation to the survey project – money, postage stamps, gift cards such as Jamba Juice and Starbucks (as a thank-you to the survey participants) – call Gail Goodman at 530-752-6981 or e-mail ggoodman@ucdavis.edu. Checks should be made to the Center for Public Policy Research.

“Many of these foster youths come out of the system without the basic skills such as how to balance a checkbook, how to pay bills and how to apply for college or find a job,” said Hobbs. “Many foster youth move from home to home and neighborhood to neighborhood. We know they have problems with mental health, welfare and unemployment, and we’re looking for ways to help.”

One way might be the implementation of the National Youth in Transition Database (NYTD), a program mandated under the provisions of Social Security, which provides states with funding to assist foster youth in the transition from the care program to independence.

Brentwood Police Activities League (PAL) is inviting residents to attend the Grand National Rodeo on Wednesday, Oct. 20 at the Cow Place in Daly City. So far, PAL has given away 30 family passes valued at $40, but there are more to share with the community. The Grand National Rodeo showcases the best horses and livestock on the West Coast in seven profes-

sional competitions. The event also features a barbecue, music, dancing and a Western marketplace.

To learn how you can get a free family ticket to the show, call Harvest Park Bowl at 925516-1221, Greg Robinson at the Brentwood Press at 925-634-1441, or Brentwood PAL at 925-634-6911.

Fire from page 1A Stonebarger said that if the district chooses to put a tax measure on the ballot in June, he wants voters to also have a chance to begin directly electing board members.

“If we’re going to go ask for more money, then you have to let the people elect the people who are going to be spending that money,” he said. The current board was appointed and consists of four Brentwood City Council members, three Oakley council members and two representatives from the unincorporated areas of the district.

The full board has yet to address the question, Stonebarger added, so no discussion has occurred as to whether all nine representatives might be up for election initially or whether the elections would be staggered.

Vacaville crashes DV homecoming Freedom 42, College Park 25

by Michael Dixon

Freedom High’s offense took control on Friday afternoon in a 42-25 victory over College Park in Pleasant Hill.

College Park, which limited Deer Valley to only 14 points on Sept. 24, was no match for a Freedom team that has been progressing throughout the season.

The win moved Freedom to 3-2, thanks to the efforts of senior running back D’Amora Cooper, who ran for 180 yards, and sophomore QB Dante Mayes, who hurt College Park through the air and on the ground.

Correspondent

On Friday night, Deer Valley High’s varsity football team was subjected to an uncommon experience – defeat.

The visiting Vacaville Bulldogs ran up and down the field on the Wolverines for most of the game, totaling nearly 600 yards to handily defeat Deer Valley 47-26.

It was the Wolverines’ first regular season loss since Oct. 25, 2008.

“They were just better than us tonight; that’s all there is to it,” said head coach Rich Woods. “This is a good football team that we played tonight and they just rolled it up on us.”

After falling behind early, the 4-1 Wolverines clawed their way back into the game. Senior running back Lamontay Marshall scored twice on runs of nine and 38 yards to tie the game at 13. Junior wide receiver Miles Walker then scored on a 27yard run to take a 20-13 lead. Vacaville’s Melvin Mason scored on a 19-yard run, but when the Wolverines halted a twopoint conversion attempt, it appeared they would take a 20-19 lead into halftime.

A Deer Valley fumble by sophomore tight end Elijah Iakopo with less than two minutes remaining in the opening half gave the Bulldogs the ball deep in Deer Valley territory. Vacaville (4-1) tailback Quincy Forte proceeded to score the first of his three touchdowns, and the ensuing

Woods felt that the fumble and ensuing eight points was the turning point of the game: “I thought we got back into a 20-19 halftime lead and then we fumbled the football. From that point on, it was downhill for us.”

Marshall rushed for 55 yards and two touchdowns. Fellow senior running back Brian Thomas led the Wolverines with 89 yards. The Deer Valley passing attack never got going; Behr completed only three

passes on the night.

The night was no better for the junior varsity team as Vacaville downed them 2821.

Woods and the Wolverines will take advantage of their bye week – along with every other Bay Valley Athletic League team except Liberty – to make adjustments. Deer Valley’s next game is slated for Oct. 15 in their BVAL home opener against Pittsburg.

Antioch High’s varsity football team will not go into its bye week empty handed. In the Panthers’ final nonBay Valley Athletic League game, they handily defeated Mt. Diablo at home, 41-21.

Junior running back Eddie Robinson finished with 134 yards on 17 carries. Senior quarterback Billy Cloninger went 4-for-9 through the air, racking up 120 yards and one touchdown. Junior Josh Oseguera caught four passes Friday night for 79 yards.

With the win, Antioch advances to 1-4. The Panthers will start BVAL play on Oct. 15, going to Oakley to face Freedom.

Panthers looking up Staff Writer Antioch High girls varsity golf head coach John Luis admits to doing some double dipping.

Also the Panthers’ softball coach, Luis supervises a golf team peppered with athletes from the diamond. So far this season, the team looks improved and ready to move up in the standings. “They’ve just been more consistent in their scores,” Luis said.

“They’ve played three years and every year improved. They’re not as intimidated.”

Antioch is off to a 3-2 start following a 277-293 win last Thursday over Freedom. Luis points to athletes such as senior

top golfer Kelsey Cast, a first baseman and pitcher for the Panthers softball team, and No. 2 golfer Nicollette Redfearn, a junior and utility player in the spring, as two reasons for the team’s success. Last season, six Panther softball players pulled double duty.

Antioch placed fifth in the six-team Bay Valley Athletic League last year, and Luis believes this season’s team could move up to third behind teams such as Deer Valley and Liberty. As four of his eight players are seniors, Luis said this year could be the team’s best chance to compete in the BVAL. The Panthers need to get better at the short game, the coach said, in order to solidify their standing: “They’re athletic, so they should be able to adjust to play decent golf.”

SoCal native digs Liberty volleyball

by Justin Lafferty Staff Writer

Photo by Justin Lafferty

Liberty High varsity volleyball player Kiana Pinkowski has become a bright spot for the Lions this season, starting at libero and occasionally setter as a sophomore.

Over the summer, Liberty High varsity girls volleyball head coach Linda Ghilarducci received a curious e-mail.

Kiana Pinkowski’s grandmother notified the coach, saying that her granddaughter was moving from Yorba Linda, in Orange County, to Brentwood and would be attending Liberty.

When Pinkowski’s mother told Ghilarducci that the girl plays volleyball, the longtime coach received a welcome surprise.

After the first practice, Ghilarducci could tell that the sophomore Pinkowski was a natural on the court and could probably be a solid contributor for the Lions for years to come.

“She was very quick and her level of skill was like some of my Division 1 players,” Ghilarducci said of the first impressions Pinkowski made. “She had been well-coached.

You could tell she was at a high level.”

In Southern California, volleyball is more popular than it is up here. The sport is Pinkowski’s passion and she’s been playing it since she was 9. Before transferring to Liberty, Pinkowski was a promising player on an El Dorado High team in Placentia, for whom playoff appearances are as common as ribbons in ponytails. She spent most of last year on the Golden Hawks’ freshman squad before being promoted to varsity for the postseason.

“It’s way different from SoCal,” Pinkowski said. “It’s a little more slow-paced, but I like it here. Everyone’s super nice.”

Pinkowski’s teammates said she’s been able to blend in and get used to life at Liberty pretty quickly. They’ve also learned a lot from Pinkowski, who leads the team with an average of 3.5 digs per game and is also second on the team in assists.

“She picks us up when we’re down and she’s always wanting to go for the ball,” said sophomore outside hitter Taylor Scriven. “She can help us get to know (volleyball) better because she might know more of the game than we do.”

Now, Pinkowski is trying to help the Lions return to where they used to be. While North Coast Section pennants from recent years decorate the south wall of Liberty’s gym, the team went through preseason this year with an uncharacteristic 1-10 record.

Ghilarducci, more commonly known as “Gooch,” has been able to move Pinkowski around, starting her at the libero or the setter position when necessary. She said she’s been impressed with how the sophomore has responded to earning a spot in Liberty’s starting lineup.

“I think she just works hard,” Ghilarducci said. “I don’t think she expected anything. I’m really excited that she’s able to give us something.”

The Lions started Bay Valley Athletic League play on Tuesday and will continue facing close competition when they travel to Antioch to take on Deer Valley on Tuesday, Oct. 12, at 6 p.m.

Tips for choosing your health plan

by Christine Paige Senior Vice President, Kaiser Permanente Choosing health-insurance coverage is one of the most important health-care decisions Americans make. And for millions of Americans with employer-based coverage, that decision is made around this time every year during open-enrollment season.

What should be a thoughtful decision, though, is often made in matter of minutes – and that’s a mistake. Employees need to carefully evaluate their options when considering health care coverage for themselves and

their families, and they should consider these five important steps before making their decision: 1) Review your past health care experiences.

2) Estimate your health care needs for the coming year.

3) Consider what you want from your physicians and health care providers.

4) Determine which online support tools are important to you.

5) Examine all costs involved in maintaining your health – and the plan’s total value.

First, thoroughly review your past

health care experiences. Assess your current health plan’s overall value to you and your family. What do you like – and what do you want to change? Are you happy with the level of service and support you receive? In California, we have easy access to independent, online comparisons of health plans’ quality and service. The State of California Office of the Patient Advocate (www.opa.ca.gov) offers ratings of plans based on the quality of care members receive and what members say about their care.

Next, assess your health-care needs for coming year. What has changed for you in the past year, and what changes are coming next year? For example, maybe you’ve developed a chronic condition that will require more doctor visits or prescriptions. Or maybe you plan to have a baby. Review your options based on how you live your life.

Next, evaluate a plan’s care delivery system or network based on your specific needs.

Do you want the option of going to a large network of doctors, specialists and hospitals? Do you prefer a PPO? Or do you prefer a health system with a strong emphasis on prevention and where care is coordinated among physicians?

You should also understand the full ex-

tent of what a plan offers in terms of online tools. Consumers have more demands on their time, and they want easier and faster access to information so they can manage their health at their convenience. At Kaiser Permanente, for example, members can e-mail their physicians, order prescriptions online, view their test results, and make appointments for themselves and family members at their convenience – at no additional cost.

Finally, consider all your health-care costs and services before selecting your plan.

Don’t automatically sign up for the plan with the lowest premium. Look at the total value you are getting in terms of services and costs.

How much did you spend on health care in the past year – including premiums, deductibles, co-pays for physicians, hospital stays and prescriptions? And what did you get for it?

Then look at your options for the coming year. For example, what services does the plan provide, and what are the plan’s co-pays for office visits, hospital visits and prescription drugs? What’s the deductible? Once you know the answers to these types of questions, you’ll be prepared to choose the health plan that’s right for you.

It takes time to be an informed healthcare consumer, but it’s time well spent.

Energy drink dangers Sleep and exercise are proven stress relievers and promoters of health. But more than 90 million Americans don’t get a good night’s sleep, and many find it difficult to develop daily exercise routines. People are constantly seeking new products and looking for more ways to become energized.

Many athletes, weekend warriors, business people and homemakers have turned to various energy boosters, including very popular and highly promoted sport and energy drinks such

as Amp and Red Bull.

The researchers immersed pieces of human enamel (outside covering of the tooth and the hardest substance in the body) in 13 popular beverages. The study found that non-cola soft drinks, energy/ sports drinks, and commercial lemonade “showed the most aggressive dissolution effect on dental enamel,” and in fact, were up to 11 times more erosive than cola.

Those who took advantage of earlybird discounts are finding that restaurants have switched to coupons or club memberships. I say join them all! Red Robin, Johnny Carino’s, Uno’s and Mimi’s (to name a few) are local Brentwood/Antioch eateries that offer free memberships and occasional coupons. It makes sense to sign up and receive the two-for-one dinners, free muffins or birthday burgers. If your favorite seniors have no Internet access, do it for them. Then join yourself and take them for an inexpensive and fun dinner. With nine grandchildren, I joined everything. No laughing, but I’m officially a member of the Chuck E. Cheese Club.

When you sign up for our local J.C. Penney’s free club and spend $250 in one month, you’ll receive a $10 gift certificate.

Another fun way to save is by participating in Penney’s online survey. When you make an initial purchase at the store, you’ll find a Web address printed at the bottom of your receipt. Simply log on, complete the short survey and print out your 15-percent discount coupon.

If you join the Carter’s and Oshkosh

B’Gosh clubs, you’ll receive a coupon each month for 20 percent off, plus … yup, you got it: money! You get quality merchandise at deep discounts and the store gives you bonus money to get those birthday gifts for the grandkids and great grandkids.

Now for some free stuff. The California Telephone Access Program offers free telephones to California residents (with existing telephone service) who suffer from hearing, mobility, speech or vision problems. The program offers free top-of-the-line cordless phones with all the bells and whistles – literally – for seniors who qualify. All you need is your primary care physician’s signature on the application form. To get an application, call 800-806-1191, or call me at 925-922-0314 and I’ll have an application sent to you.

MedSolutions in Brentwood offers form-fitted shoes that are free with a prescription from a doctor stating that you have been diagnosed with diabetes. There are several types of shoes to choose from featuring heat-molded inserts to perfectly fit your foot.

You can get one pair per year – and they are quite stylish. Call 925-634-7791.

OBITUARIES

Robena “Ruby” Brown Jan. 5, 1935-Sept. 22, 2010 Ruby passed away at home from lung cancer. She lived in the Richmond area for many years until she moved to the Brentwood/Oakley area in 2001.

Ruby is survived by her loving husband, Duane Brown; daughter, Lori Freels of Oakley; two sons, Randy Miller of San Leandro and Danny Miller of Portland, Ore.; and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren who will miss her greatly. The family requests that donations be made to the Cancer Society or Contra Costa County Hospice.

ourselves into every activity imaginable.

In May we took a trip to Montana and visited our family and Yellowstone. Dad also enjoyed going on almost every play date that his grandson had.

Dad was a resident of Santa Rosa, Pittsburg, and most recently Discovery Bay, where he lived with my husband, son and I. Dad loved to read Zane Grey and Louis Lamour and he also enjoyed putting together photo albums for his grandchildren.

His brother, Fred Rickard of Santa Rosa, survives Dad; as do sister, Betty Smock of Portland, Ore.; daughter, Zeta Scollard; son-in-law, Chad; grandchildren, Zeta Marie and Justin Scollard of White Sulphur Springs, Mont.; and daughter, Brenda Rickard Jenlink; sonin-law, Jeff; and grandson, Wes Lowell Jenlink of Discovery Bay.

Worth, Texas and Deanne of Fremont; and grandson, Evan Farley of Fremont.

Also surviving him is his devoted sister, Greta von Uhlit of Napa, and a brother as well as many nieces and nephews.

In 1977, Ray and Carol moved from Napa to Fremont, where they started their own successful business, Fremont Industrial Lift. But with Ray’s love of farming, he wanted a fruit farm, so in 2002 he and Carol purchased 46 acres of land and started building. He planted 1,600 fruit trees and farmed more than 33 acres of hay. They built their dream home together on the farm and that is where he

lived, loved and died. He felt he was very blessed to be in Brentwood on his beloved farm.

He also loved and built custom cars and would never miss Hot August Nights in Reno, Nev. and spending time with his fellow car friends.

He was so loved by his family and friends. He touched many lives with his gentle spirit and his kind and loving ways.

He will be greatly missed.

A celebration of his life will be held Sunday, Oct. 24 from noon to 4 p.m. at their residence, 1400 Chestnut St. in Brentwood.

Talented local singer does Sinatra

by Ray Carter

Professional Acting Classes for Children!

Now Open in Antioch!

Correspondent Frank Sinatra epitomized the sentiment and swing of big-band singers in a multi-faceted career that spanned five decades, and East County music lovers will get to enjoy a cocktail, a nice meal and a gifted performer singing Sinatra classics on Oct. 22 at 6:30 p.m. at the Lone Tree Golf Course Event Center in Antioch.

The performer is Mike Spellman – karaoke star, drummer and bass section leader of Brentwood’s Summerset Singers. Over the years, Spellman has taken advantage of East County’s many karaoke venues to hone his performing skills, taking Ol’ Blue Eyes’ music to new heights by creating an act backed up by a seven-piece band playing original Sinatra arrangements.

Spellman’s concerts feature around 18 Sinatra tunes augmented by Spellman’s running commentary about the crooner and his music. Spellman doesn’t try to impersonate Sinatra; his performances are heartfelt tributes to his musical idol delivered in a style that’s both Frank and Mike.

Spellman worked with local producer/director Steve Kinsella to construct his concert and, back in February, nearly packed the Del Valle Theatre in Walnut Creek for the initial performance of “Michael Spellman Sings Sinatra.” Since that auspicious beginning, he has performed six smaller shows, wowing audiences every time. Spellman can also be heard in

Tickets for the Antioch show can be purchased by calling the Lone Tree Golf Course Event Center at 925-7064232. The $45 price of admission includes dinner (appetizer, salad, main course – petite filet with prawns – and cheesecake). A no-host bar opens at 6:30 p.m.; dinner is served at 7 and the show begins at 8:15.

Henry from page 1B opinion is justified: Henry ranks third on the team with nine assists and second with 27 steals.

While the supporting cast is stronger than in years past and the Falcons win games with timely contributions from other players, Henry’s most valuable asset is her ability to score goals. On 83 shots through 14 games, she’d tallied 56 goals – more than three times higher than her closest teammate.

“She’s probably our best offensive player because she gets down the pool and gets open, which allows the other girls to release and give her the ball, which is nice,” said senior goalkeeper and co-captain Amanda Jennings.

Henry’s strongest games this season were a seven-goal performance in an 86 victory against El Camino and a sixgoal performance in a 10-7 win against Liberty in the league opener. As fellow superstar and defending league MVP Lindsay Hull of Liberty also notched six goals, Henry’s performance offset Hull’s, which allowed the other Falcons to beat their rivals.

Beyond her own talent, however, Henry’s teammates say her best trait is elevating the performance of her teammates. “I think it helps that Taylor is serious, but she knows how to have fun,” said Yeshewas. “So whenever we’re yelling at each other, if we’re losing, we know to look at what we need to do – and she picks it up for us.”

Tournament fundraiser tees off East Diablo Youth Soccer League’s Impact Competitive Division recently held its first Golf Tournament and Dinner Fundraiser. More than 85 golfers from area businesses and the soccer community plus 20 others gathered on a sunny afternoon at Shadow Lakes Golf Club in Brentwood.

Shadow Lakes’ panoramic vistas of the Diablo foothills set the scene for a relaxing round of golf. Some holes saw serious contests (a chance to win a car with a hole-in-one) and others quirky challenges (longest marshmallow-ball drive).

Cameron Martin won the tournament trophy as well as the Longest Drive competition. The winner of the Closest to the Hole contest was Brett Berridge.

That evening, the club hosted a dinner with raffles, silent auction and awards. Impact teams created themed gift baskets, many stocked with items donated from local businesses. The auction took bids for such treasures as a $375 photographic portrait package, a $1,000 gift certificate for dental services, an autographed Landon Donovan Los Angeles Galaxy jersey and an autographed Major League Soccer San Jose Earthquakes soccer ball.

Serious or fun, the event raised welcome funds for area soccer players.

EDYSL President Sash Migay celebrates a successful putt – soccer style. more than 2,000 athletes in Brentwood, Oakley, Knightsen, Antioch, Byron and Discovery Bay. Impact soccer teams travel outside the area to compete with other high-level teams throughout Northern California.

Players are trained at an advanced level by professional coaches and play games on grass fields at the city parks of Brentwood and Oakley.

The cost of field rentals, equipment, insurance and regional league fees cannot be covered by increasing fees to

families without preventing some welldeserving players from participating (the league already subsidizes financially challenged players with its Soccer Start program).

EDYSL is a federally classified 501(c) (3) nonprofit, volunteer organization. All funds raised go to athletic programs and their administration.

Wolverines keep winning One of the most impressive fall teams in the area, Deer Valley High’s girls varsity golf squad has expanded its win streak to 52 with a victory last week over Heritage.

The Wolverines’ Haley Edwards and the Patriots’ Megan Condor tied for the low score, shooting a 42 on the par 37 Lone Tree Golf Course. Deer Valley’s Taylor Cover carded a 44, Melissa Wilkerson finished with 45, Taylor Robbins shot

a 49 and Christina Gonzales a 54.

The win advanced the Wolverine record to 5-0. Deer Valley will try to keep the staggering streak going when it travels to the Sunol Valley Golf Club on Monday for the Bay Area Championship. The Wolverines will return to Bay Valley Athletic League play with a match at Shadow Lakes Golf Club in Brentwood against Freedom on Tuesday at 3 p.m.

Impact 94 Black takes third The East Diablo Impact Boys 94 Black team placed third in the recent Dublin Premier Fall Classic.

Despite many injuries and the heat, the team finished 2-1-1 in the tournament.

The Impact 94 Black scored seven goals and allowed only five.

Of the five goals-against scored, three were off penalty kicks, one from a foul outside of the area, and only one from open-field play.

The Impact 94 Black started with a 2-1 win over Bay Oaks Earthquakes. Next up was the Sunnyvale SC United 94 Red, ranked in the top 50 of Northern California U16 boys’ teams.

Since spring, Sunnyvale has notched two first-place finishes and one second in highly ranked tour-

naments.

But in the Dublin tournament, Impact 94 Black tied Sunnyvale 1-1 – Sunnyvale’s only goal coming off a penalty kick – earning Impact 94 Black enough tournament points to qualify for the semifinals.

In the semifinals, another team ranked in the top 50 was waiting: Central Valley YSL Dynamo 94 Red, boasting three third-place finishes and one second this year. The Impact lost 3-0.

In the consolation game for third place, Impact 94 Black met a familiar opponent: Livermore Fusion SC 94 Maroon. Livermore, ranked 74th, had beaten Impact in the NorCal Spring Season 2-3. Impact got its revenge, soundly defeating Livermore 5-0.

East County Lions sweep The East County Lions headed west last weekend to Pleasant Hill’s Diablo Valley College to face the Rebels.

In the day’s opening game, the Lions’ Scout level dominated the Rebels on every down. The offense was led by Jay Butterfield, who completed several long passes to Sebastian Duran. Braxton Copeland and Joseph Luna scored touchdowns on long runs.

After scoring a rushing touchdown earlier in the game, Cole Gregerson completed the day with a 45-yard TD strike to Sebastian Duran. The defense was led by Giovanni Lorrea, Peyton Borrelli, John Puckett, Mason and Jacoby Padilla. Eric and Justin Bergen, and Gregerson, supplied the bone-rattling hits. The Scouts, dominant in their games thus far, are coached by Jeff Houston, Mark Butterfield, Danny Gutridge and Steve Borrelli.

The Pee Wee Lions went to DVC on a mission and didn’t disappoint, registering a 34-0 thrashing of Pleasant Hill. The offensive line of Jason Ternes, Reno Thomas, Emiliano Diaz, Angelo Page, Arnold Cuevas and tight end Jonathon Davis led a dominant rushing performance by running backs Ronnie Rivers (two touchdowns), Abel Ordaz, Bubba Dentoni (one touchdown), Tanner Cooper, Travis Baxter (one touchdown) and Izaiah Paopao.

The Lion line opened massive holes, allowing the running backs to rip off huge chunks of yardage on almost every carry.

Rivers and Dentoni scored on long runs, and wide receiver Jaxon Palomo put up six on a reverse. The defense dominated the Rebel offense, limiting it to a couple first downs and never letting it cross midfield. The Lions now brace for an undefeated Benicia team coming to town this weekend.

East County Lions, Jr. Midgets also topped Pleasant Hill’s Rebels in a 34-0 victory on Saturday behind the scoring drives featuring Dominic Espino, Jesse Gregerson, Victor Saude and Christian Divilla. The Lions got strong contributions from offensive and defensive lines to even their record to 2-2.

It was the Lions’ first recorded shutout of the season behind a defense that forced two critical turnovers to set up scoring drives on both possessions.

The Lions, coached by Dave Smith, scored in all four quarters of the game and enjoyed solid performances on both sides of the ball. Behind a strong running game and an efficient and effective passing performance, the Lions evened their season record to 2-2 and looked poised to make a strong move to improve their standings in the DVYFC. The East County Midgets started slowly against a tough Pleasant Hill Rebels team. An error by the Rebels resulted in a 45-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown by Walter Cruz; Dominic Visentin kicked the extra point.

The next TD was scored by Cruz on a pass from Lance Coleman, followed by a Jamaun Charles interception returned 30 yards for a touchdown. The defense of Qinn Sipsy, Christain Cecchi, Alex Camilli, Jamaun Charles, Isaiah Cambell, Alex Barlett, JT Permente, Lance Coleman, Walter Cruz and Gabrial Qureshi played an outstanding game.
