Winery to open new Ag era

by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer

Hannah Nicole Vineyards – East County’s first winery – is set to open its doors to the public next month, ushering in what many believe to be a new era of destination locations on a par with the celebrated Napa Valley, and more recently Livermore Valley.

“It’s very, very exciting,” said Glenda Cohn, who along with her husband Neil owns Hannah Nicole Vineyards on Balfour Road in Brentwood. “It’s been a huge project and we’ve jumped a lot of hurdles, but everything looks beautiful and we can’t wait to open.”

The Hannah Nicole winery is an 18,000-square-foot facility boasting a processing area, banquet and tasting rooms and a catering kitchen. The Cohns plan to host weddings and special events on site and eventually hope to turn their seven-bedroom home into a bed-and-breakfast once their four children living at

It wasn’t long ago that vint-

ners such as the Cohns could only dream of popping retail wine corks on East County soil,

but thanks to an evolving county agriculture department and a supportive Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, the bountiful region is now better poised to reap what it sows.

“I’m very excited for the Cohn family, as they’re proof that we’re headed in the right direction,” said Supervisor Mary Piepho.

And as the Cohns have been pursuing their dreams, others like Barbara Franz have been quietly pushing ahead with their own commercial ventures. Franz, who owns 10 acres on the corner of Bixler and Balfour roads in Brentwood, has designed Tess’s Farm Market, a 5,000-squarefoot, community-oriented, farmer-friendly organic venue.

She continues to work with the county and investors and plans to open soon.

Demolition a knock-down, drag-out affair

by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer

It took a year to build it and only six days to tear it down, but you’d never know by looking at the crumbling remains of Antioch’s Best Western Heritage Inn that the 1,700 tons of popping metal, cracking glass and snapping stucco were all part of a carefully orchestrated dance.

But Brentwood resident Tony Graunstadt knows, and he’ll be the first to tell you it’s a lot harder than it looks.

“It does take some planning as far as details and timetables go,” said Graunstadt, owner of Delta Demolition. “I’ve been known to lose a little sleep.”

And understandably. The aging three-story hotel was put on the chopping block for exactly

the reasons it was originally built: proximity to the freeway. Once a convenient stopping point for motorists along Sommersville Road, today the impending widening of Highway 4 is slated to go where the hotel once stood.

So it was Graunstadt’s job to bring down the hotel, and while no mushroom clouds or sticks of dynamite were involved, plenty of Transformer-like machines stood at the ready: excavators and bulldozers ripping open the walls of the hotel, bringing down overhangs and balconies in a single pass.

From there, debris was separated into recyclable piles (“we’re required to have 50-percent recycling but I’m shooting for about 75 percent,” said Graunstadt) and see Demolition page 18A

Boat Float protests Delta canal plan

by Dave Roberts Staff Writer The Million Boat Float through the Delta to Sacramento on Sunday to protest plans to construct a peripheral canal fell short by 999,977 boats, but the protestors felt they made a statement in defense of the Delta nevertheless.

“Some people have made a joke of the Million Boat Float,” said Oakley City Councilman Bruce Connelley in a speech during a rally on the steps of the state Capitol Monday. “Obviously it wasn’t a million. But what we are doing is representing the million people who are being affected by the activities in this Capitol.

My wife said maybe we should have called it the Delta Boat Float. We are here and got attention and brought a lot of light to the subject. We only had a few weeks to plan this thing.”

Connelley criticized former state Assemblyman Phil Isenberg, who chaired the Delta Blue Ribbon Task Force, for being uninterested in the concerns that Delta users expressed at a meeting. “He sat there and said nothing,” said Connelley. “It’s a sham, it’s been a sham and it continues to be a sham.

“I invited the governor to be here today. I got a response: ‘Sorry, he’s busy.’

I said I understand you may have some family issues with his mother-in-law, but I believe those issues are taken care of. I e-

Their response: ‘Sorry, he’s busy.’

have liked more trailerable boats where they drove around the Capitol. We weren’t there to disrupt people. We were there to make a statement and show we are concerned about the water issues.”

Lauritzen said the boaters gathered in the area of the Antioch Bridge at 8 a.m., passed through Rio Vista around 10 a.m., got to Walnut Grove at noon, Courtland at 2 p.m. and arrived in Sacramento just after 5 p.m. They were greeted along the way with people holding up signs read-

ing, “Save Property Values,” “Save Delta Farms,” “No Peripheral Canal!” “Save Our Delta” and “Let the People Vote!”

“It was a wonderful trip, fun,” said Lauritzen. “We traveled the same route that the Delta King and Queen did in 1927.

It’s somewhat historic on the old Sacramento River and the same way salmon go to spawn from the ocean.”

But the pleasant nature of a Delta boat cruise did not detract from the seriousness of its purpose. The issue the participants are most concerned about is the proposal to construct a canal, probably along the eastern edge of the Delta, that would take fresh water from the river near Sacramento and transfer it to the pumping stations near Byron to be sent south to Central Valley farms and southern California residents.

Delta users fear that this would result in a decrease in water quality, especially increased salinity, further harming the fragile Delta ecosystem, East County’s drinking water supply and fishing.

“The water issue is going to impact every person one way or the other in Northern California,” said Lauritzen.

“And if we don’t get behind it and fight it and come up with some solutions, we are going to be worse off than what we are now. The peripheral canal is not the solution. We only have so much (water) to see Delta page 18A

Earlybirds get the worlds A word of encouragement to those of us who haul ourselves out of bed when the sky is still dark: it might take a few minutes to brew that jolt of coffee, but it takes no time to experience a jolt of awe and wonder. Just step outside and look up.

If you’re an early TAKE IT riser, consider yourself UTSIDE fortunate. Right now, pre-dawn stargazing is as good as it gets. Slip into some footwear, pour your coffee and take it outside before the universe disappears behind the pastels of dawn. Find a spot GER with an unobstructed ERICKSON view east and draw an imaginary curve from due east to slightly below straight overhead (see the accompanying illustration). The curve describes the ecliptic – the disc of our solar system – along which the sun, moon and planets travel.

In order to visualize the staggering dimensions of space, let’s come to grips with the term “light year,” the distance light travels in one year. Light zips along at 186,000 miles per second, the equivalent of seven times around the Earth in one second. If you could hitch a ride on a wave of light, it would take you 8½ minutes to reach our Sun – and 4½ years to reach the next nearest star.

Let’s take it back outside and work from the ground up. The bright “star” just below the constellation Gemini the Twins isn’t a star

at all, but our planetary neighbor Venus, 10½ light minutes from Earth. Only the Moon reflects the light of the Sun more intensely than Venus.

The pre-dawn sky is filled with intriguing illusions. What looks like the single star Castor in Gemini is actually a six-star system – three pairs circling each other cheek-tocheek on the black marble of the celestial ballroom at a distance of 49 light years.

Above Gemini hangs the constellation Auriga the Charioteer. Its prime point of light, Capella, 45 light years away, is also a double star. Capella A and B complete their

orbital whirl a breathtaking once every 104 days, earning them the title “close binary.”

Along the ecliptic above and right of Venus you’ll find two ruddy points of light. The lower object, 13.8 light minutes from Earth, is the ancient god of war, the planet Mars.

The upper of the two is the star Aldebaran in the constellation Taurus the Bull. Aldebaran measures almost 5,000 Earth diameters across and is 65 light years distant. Mars and Aldebaran share the same deep orange color, but the color springs from a radically see Outside page 10A

Swinging for the fences in Rivertown

by Dave Roberts

General Manager Randy Cross and owner Terry Karp in front of the large TV screens on the back wall of the recently opened Bases Loaded restaurant at Fourth and G streets in downtown Antioch.

Staff Writer It’s taken six years and $3 million, but Terry Karp has finally opened Bases Loaded restaurant that he and the city officials who gave him $300,000 to help make it a reality hope will be a walk-off grand slam rather than another Rivertown strikeout.

Located at Fourth and G streets, the restaurant opened without fanfare last week, but already has fans filing in and loading up.

Customers are greeted by tributes to Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson in the vestibule before walking into a wide open space with large windows, the requisite sports memorabilia on the walls and a giant assemblage of TV screens on the back wall along with small TVs at each booth.

“One thing that you never know: you can build a building and you can open it to the public, but the people kind of define what you are,” said Karp. “So far I’m just totally thrilled about the people who have come here and are enjoying the place. The early indication is it’s going to be great. I plan to be here for a very, very long time. We don’t have any short-term goals of leaving. I want to be a mainstay in the downtown for as long as we can. I care about the downtown. I’ve always loved it down here.”

And city and business officials love the fact that a major new restaurant has opened in Antioch’s quaint, historic but economically challenged downtown area. With businesses coming and going – and mostly going lately

– those officials are hoping that a popular anchor destination restaurant will bring people downtown to not only eat and drink but also stick around and shop.

“I think it’s really a wonderful project,” said Mayor Jim Davis. “What better way to capture the experience of Antioch – we have always been a sports town. I am really excited about what it can do for downtown. I think the synergy from that one corner will expand through the downtown. I am glad the city was able to participate, to provide money to jump-start the downtown. I think this is the beginning and will be good for everyone.”

Ralph Garrow, Jr., chairman of the Antioch Chamber of Commerce, said his organization is also excited about the restaurant, which is opening across the street from the chamber office (until the chamber moves into the renovated Casino building on Waldie

Plaza). “It has the potential to be quite successful and a big draw,” said Garrow via email. “Rivertown needs quality destination attractions like this to encourage people to go downtown, experience the area, patronize the other businesses and continue to return.

The river and storefronts create a pedestrianfriendly atmosphere different from the big shopping malls.

“A heightened awareness of Rivertown is important, and a critical mass of businesses such as Bases Loaded needs to be developed downtown to achieve progress toward its renaissance. It could be a catalyst. We applaud the commitment Bases Loaded is making to Rivertown and wish them much success.”

For Karp, a sports nut who has made his living in real estate, opening his own sports bar/restaurant is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. He grew up in Central County but

got to know Antioch’s downtown after marrying Sandy Karp, an Antioch High Class of ’84 graduate, 19 years ago. When he saw the vacant corner lot, he decided to go for it, not realizing it would take twice as long and twice as much money as he had estimated to make it a reality.

“My whole thinking from day one was: take it one day at a time, keep it moving forward and don’t stop the project until things came crashing down and someone told you a legitimate reason why you couldn’t do it,” he said. “I’m very pleased with how it looks.

It’s what I envisioned: high ceilings, real airy, great sight lines. You can look around from anywhere and see all of the TV screens, see your friends on the other side of the restaurant.

“We’ve gotten a very diverse group of young and old, male, female – it’s just been great. We have young families with kids and a lot of groups of senior citizens come in. They all get along and are having a good time.”

So, despite the numerous vacancy signs downtown, including one at longtime fixture Getty’s music store, Karp is glad he’s stepped up to the plate and is swinging for the fences.

“My worst fear was nobody would come,” he said. “Now we will start doing some marketing and hopefully get slammed (with customers).”

Bases Loaded opens every day at 11 a.m., closing at 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and around midnight or later Friday and Saturday. Reservations are not necessary, but large parties should call ahead. The

Loaded for fun New eatery a family affair for columnist

“If you build it, they will come.” Finally. My prayers have been answered. A fun place to go in Downtown Antioch! When I heard that a new sports bar was coming to town, I didn’t hold my breath; it sounded too good to be true. But last week, Bases Loaded opened its HANGIN’ IN doors and I was there.

The place is beauHERE tiful: hardwood floors, baseball memorabilia everywhere, and two beautiful, large blackand-white portraits of “the Babe” and Lou Gehrig as the centerpiece of the back wall.

VICKI You can’t turn your MCKENNA head in any direction without catching a glimpse of at least two TVs – some even shaped like baseballs!

When we arrived, the place was already buzzing with excitement. The beautiful bar, offering 16 beers on tap (including my favorite, Sierra Nevada, and a Midwest favorite, Pabst Blue Ribbon), was roomy and welcoming. Bases Loaded also offers a wide selection of cocktails and shots cleverly named after baseball legends.

My 7-year-old found the hardwood

T

floors the biggest attraction as she spun around in her slippery party shoes, nearly colliding with a waitress – but no harm, no foul. The waitress was my oldest daughter.

She looked happy to see us and seated us in her section, which offered large windows and a view of G Street. Passers-by slowed down to check out the new establishment that will also ignite long-awaited night life on the weekends. At last, a place to get my groove on!

We ordered up some nachos, made surprisingly with kettle chips, and a plate of hot wings. My two sons are hot wing connoisseurs and can devour a plateful in minutes. Surprisingly, my 7-year-old did not spill her drink within the first five minutes, a McKenna Family tradition, and busied herself with coloring the kids menu.

At the next booth, I spotted Mayor Jim Davis enjoying dinner with his wife!

Looking around, I saw even more familiar faces. The place already had a hometown feel. Most importantly, the food was incredible! “Thumbs up” for the wings, motioned my sons sporting saucy orange grins. I could have easily eaten another plate of the delicious nachos, but decided to save room for my slab of smoked ribs.

The menu offered something for everyone, including brisket and pulled pork, meat loaf, fried chicken, salads and sandwiches, burgers and five varieties of hot dogs. The kids were happy to see chicken see Hangin’ page 10A

DEBT-TO-INCOME RATIOS The debt-to-income ratio is back in vogue in real estate. During the real estate boom, lenders seemed to be exclusively focused on credit scores. If you had good credit, they’d find a way to make you a loan, and ignored whether or not your income could actually justify the loan. Well, that’s all changed. We are back to sound loan underwriting. Credit score is still important, but now they actually want to see if you can afford the loan (imagine that…).

And this is usually based on the REAL payment, not some teaser-rate.

There are two general types of debt-ratios, front-end and back-end. Each lender may have their own variances on these, but I’ll give you the general idea behind both of these.

Your front-end ratio is your monthly housing costs divided by your monthly gross income. For housing costs they use your principal, interest, taxes, insurance and HOA obligations.

Your back-end ratio is the sum of ALL your monthly expenses divided by your

monthly gross income. So this is for ALL your installment and revolving debts— house, car, credit cards, etc. They don’t include living expenses like food, utilities, transportation costs, etc.

What varies greatly from lender to lender is what maximum debt ratios they will allow. Usually it’s around 35% for your front-end debt-ratio, and 45% for the backend ratio. But this can vary greatly depending on your credit, your income, how much you have in reserves, etc. The better each of these factors is, the higher your debt ratio can be.

In the past, debt-to-income ratios were only talked about in regards to when you applied for a loan. But it’s now also important when you apply for a loan modification or a short sale. I’ll discuss that in my next article.

Boosters still truckin’ Headaches, Neck Pain or Jaw Pain (TMJ) Bothering You? Neck pain and headaches can be very disabling and can significantly alter a person’s normal pattern of living.

Simple things like reading the newspaper, cooking, driving a car, and/or looking down when feeding a baby, can become almost intolerable. Canceling plans for the day or saying “no” to vacations can be very disheartening and often occurs because of severe neck pain and/or headache making these activities simply, “no fun.” The cause of the headaches associated with neck pain and dysfunction is usually due to the compression caused by the tight neck muscles squeezing the upper three nerve roots in the neck region, resulting in radiating pain into the head. Frequently, light and noise sensitivity, as well as nausea, can accompany a severe headache, which only adds to the activity limitations associated with neck pain. In fact, there are many experts who feel most headaches, even migraines, stem from the neck or are at least are very closely related. Since neck pain affects approximately two thirds of the population at some point during their lifetime, it becomes clear that headaches, in the absence of neck pain, are quite uncommon.

Another interesting and lesser-known relationship is the jaw (frequently referred to as the TMJ) and its association with neck function, especially the upper cervical vertebrae, as well as headaches. The muscles that move the jaw/TMJ are largely innervated by the 5th cranial nerve, also called the trigeminal nerve. Several studies have found that when stimulating structures innervated by the trigeminal nerve, neck and/or jaw pain was created.

Similarly, patients with jaw problems (TMD) often report neck pain.

The neck is always moving when we chew, yawn, talk, and clench our teeth. In fact, all of these every day activities result in jaw, head, neck motion extending from the base of the skull and first cervical vertebra (C1) and continues down through the entire cervical spine. This was investigated in a study where the relationship between neck symp-

toms, jaw function and pressure pain sensitivity in a trigeminal nerve innervated region was observed after a spinal manipulation was applied to the upper neck vertebrae. Here, 37 female patients with neck pain were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 groups (1, receiving upper neck manipulation; and 2, the non-manipulation group) and, before and after treatment, exams of mouth opening and pressure pain levels were measured. The group receiving the upper neck manipulation showed a significant increase in active mouth opening motion as well as improved pressure pain tolerance compared to the non-manipulation group.

This study is very important as many people suffer from neck pain, headaches and TMD. In order to properly treat these patients, one must focus on multiple regions, not just the neck area. It has been demonstrated when we bite down, there is a corresponding tightening of two important muscles in the neck and upper back region.

Similarly, studies show relaxation of muscles in the neck, upper back and TMJ after spinal manipulation to the neck is applied. Injuries to the TMJ are common but often not pursued by patients as often they’ll say, “my jaw clicks and snaps but I don’t think about it much.”

Hangin’ from page 7A strips and fries on the children’s menu.

From time to time cheers erupted from the large room as the 49ers made a great play, then a few groans when they didn’t, but it all filled the room with electricity. The nice thing was that families and sports fans alike were all having a great time.

My daughter decided it was time for a stroll through the place. Outside we found a bar and seating area decorated with ivy traveling up the brick walls, simulating Chicago’s Wrigley Field. There’s a patch of Astroturf that beckons to children itching to perform a somersault or two – yes, that would be my kid, but it’s all good. The owner must be a parent. It’s the perfect place to bring an antsy toddler.

Are you joking me? Fried candy bars? I can feel my hips getting wider just reading the description! How about home-made bread pudding or cheesecake for dessert? My kids couldn’t decide, so we tried the Fried Oreo Sundae, and the fried Twix and Snickers! Visions of the treadmill at the gym kept rudely interfering with my enjoyment of the delicious crunchy coating and gooey caramel filling of my fried Twix. Hey, you only live once, right?

But I know I’ll be back to Bases Loaded soon, and on a regular basis. My kids loved it, my husband loved it, and I’ll be loving the night life that’ll give me the opportunity to dance off those fried candy bars.

Above Aldebaran floats one of the loveliest sights in the heavens: the Pleiades, the brightest “open cluster” of stars seen from Earth. Suspended in the sky like a necklace of blue-white gems 370 light years away, the Pleiades is composed of about 400 stars spread over 50 light years of space. It has stirred the imagination of stargazing civilizations as far back as China in the third millennium B.C. Yet by cosmic standards, the Pleiades cluster is young. Were we to hop into a time machine and zip back to the dinosaur age, we’d find no sign of the Pleiades in our night skies. Its stars wouldn’t be born for another 50 million years.

To the right of Venus rises one of the most recognizable constellations to this or any stargazing civilization: Orion the Hunter.

Orion breaks the horizon as a tilted rectangle imbedded with three “belt” stars. Hanging from Orion’s belt like a glowing sword is a string of stars harboring M42, the Orion Nebula, a vast spray of interstellar gas and dust 1,400 light years from Earth.

All of Orion’s four perimeter stars qualify as “supergiants.” Of them, Rigel and Betelgeuse are diametric opposites. Think of them as Britney Spears and Tony Bennett.

Rigel is a young, hot star that shines a mindnumbing 50,000 times brighter than our Sun. It spends its hydrogen capital at an alarming rate and, as stars go, won’t be long for this universe.

Betelgeuse, on the other hand, is a veteran of the stellar scene. After billions of years of solid-gold thermonuclear reactions, Betelgeuse is nearing the end of its career, burning at a cool, red 5,000 F compared to our yellow Sun’s 10,000 F surface temperature. In its twilight years Betelgeuse has ballooned (unlike Tony Bennett) to a confounding 800 times our Sun’s diameter (you could stretch 109 Earths across the Sun’s diameter – do the math), making it the largest star within a radius of a thousand light years from Earth.

Imagine planet Earth as a ship circumnavigating the globe, exposing its crew to exotic landscapes, exposing us summer stargazers to a new quadrant of the universe as we sail toward the winter arc of our orbit and the most dazzling light show of the year.

Cheer up, earlybirds; the best is yet to come – right over the eastern horizon.

Devious orchestration Editor: I don’t believe Supervisor Mary Piepho is supportive of local input that may tend to thwart her personal agenda, and the recent dismantling of the East County Regional Planning Commission demonstrates this.

First, Supervisor Piepho fired the sitting rep. Then she installed a long-time political ally without interviewing all of the candidates who had applied for the position. Then the ally recommended disbanding the commission, thus eliminating the local input to the county.

I believe this is simply an orchestrated attempt to remove local decision makers so that she can pursue her own agenda of growth without the necessary infrastructure support, and I don’t like it.

Don’t doom Delta Editor: The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta is in ecological crisis. Urban growth, pollution discharged into the Delta, invasive species and aging levees will have an ever-increasing negative impact on the environmental health and economic sustainability of the region if left unmanaged.

However, the greatest threat presently to the Delta is the Department of Water Resources’ plan to build new conveyance to move water out of the Delta.

Starting in 2000, water exports to Central and Southern California reached record high levels under the current practices of the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) and the Federal Bureau of Reclamation. This increase in pumping Delta water increased salinity in waterways that were primarily fresh water, and changed water quality in a way that is more favorable for the reproduction of invasive species.

While exports have been reduced due to recent court rulings, the DWR, in its recent analysis of dual conveyance, affirms that with the construction of a peripheral canal, water exports can increase to 8.5

Part two of too heavy books Editor: I want to thank Freedom High for responding to my last letter regarding how heavy my child’s backpack is with all the books she was required to bring. The school called me to let me know they will be getting classroom sets of books to have in class so the students will no longer be required to bring their books. Thank you.

advantage of and to exploit. Eating animals for the taste or for human survival is nothing new. An issue that many people take, however, is must we cause them extreme suffering in the process?

It is common knowledge the abhorrent conditions many animals are forced to endure in the process of leading up to the supermarket. Meat industry animals often live their whole lives in tiny cages that prevent any movement. Many times their conditions are filthy and possibly disease ridden, other times they are needlessly slaughtered in overly painful ways.

A question that could be put forward is this: must animals be subjected to these horrors just because it is more profitable for the meat industry and because they are animals and not humans? These are points that animal-rights organizations underscore in the eyes of the population when they chastise the president for swatting a housefly. It does not help the cause of ending animal suffering.

Ron states that he listens in disbelief as he hears “… that we lost our moral compass by ‘torturing’ a few war combatants, who would slit our throats in a nanosecond …” I’m sure Ron has heard the phrase “innocent until proven guilty” before. This concept of presumption of innocence has been in our system of justice so long, coming from English jurisprudence, that it is considered common law. Our founders felt so strongly about this concept that they took the time to embody it in several provisions of our Constitution.

This safety valve has worked, mostly for the betterment of man, for over 233 years. We must not pervert it in wartime simply because it is “inconvenient” for us to adhere to. If we as a nation condone the torture of prisoners today, what’s to prevent Ron and myself from being labeled “citizen combatants,” tortured and denied due process tomorrow?

It is obvious Ron feels very strongly about protecting the rights of unborn children and I agree that abortion should not casually be used as a form of birth control.

The problem with banning all abortions is that it is driven underground and out of sight. Many women can still remember the days when all abortions were criminalized.

There were many forced miscarriages and backroom abortions injuring young girls as well as dangerous unsanitary conditions.

Now that abortion is not underground, a woman can make an informed decision in the instance that something terrible is wrong with her baby, or if her life is in jeopardy during her pregnancy, or if she was raped by someone and can’t handle the pregnancy psychologically. It is also important that young people have ready access to contraceptives and sex education to prevent STDs and abortion as a form of birth control.

Many individuals feel that people should practice abstinence until marriage.

My question is, “Why should we have to?”

What about those individuals that have no interest in marriage and want to remain single for the rest of their lives? Or those gay people like me who possibly might like to marry but are denied the right to do so?

Are we all supposed to deny ourselves the right to have sex until we are allowed to marry and or will marry?

Band gets boost Editor: Heritage High School Band students would like to thank everyone for supporting the car wash we held at Les Schwab on Lone Tree Way in August.

Some residents of our community donated very generous amounts, and we would like to say thank you!

The band has an opportunity to attend an International Event in March of 2010. We are working hard to meet our goals. We will be holding another car wash on Sept. 19 at Les Schwab on Lone Tree Way. Your support will be greatly appreciated.

million acre feet per year. Water exports, prior to Judge Wanger’s ruling, were too excessive to sustain the Delta, yet even then, water exports never exceeded 6 million acre feet annually.

How will building a new conveyance facility reduce water exports – especially seeing that the state is planning for a facility that will move more water than ever from Northern California to large corporate farms throughout the San Joaquin Valley?

What the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta needs is the restoration of fresh water flows so that fisheries can heal and family farming can continue to be part of California’s natural heritage and cultural legacy.

I believe that any reduction of flows from the Delta will allow so much saltwater intrusion as to kill all of the existing freshwater life. Many animals come to the water to drink; they will all die. The Delta is on the path for millions of migrating birds that will have no place to stop along the way.

Thousands of residents use wells to sustain themselves. That water will become too brackish to use. Depleting fresh water from the system is a bad idea. Let’s use some of the many water storage ideas that do not damage the ecosystem.

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage Matters

By Trevor Frey

Looking Out for Number One More times than not the above expression is heard when someone is doing for self, looking out for their best interests and putting themselves first. However, in the world of real estate – whether it be a listing agent, a buyer’s agent, or a loan officer – the phrase “looking out for number one” actually means looking out for, and protecting, the client. A great agent or lender knows they truly work for the client, and that without the client, they as a real estate professional have no profession.

A true example of this is the California Association of Realtors Housing Affordability Fund (C.A.R.H.A.F) which began in 2002. Originally put in place to help Joe the Plumber realize the American dream of homeownership in the face of skyrocketing prices, the Housing Affordability Fund has once again stepped up by way of its Mortgage Protection Program. Announced April 2nd, 2009, the C.A.R.H.A.F Mortgage Protection Program offers itself to W-2’d, first-time home buyers (no ownership during the last three years), who purchase a home using a California Realtor between April 2nd and December 31st 2009. The program is a three-headed helper consisting of ‘involuntary unemployment, accidental disability and accidental death insurance protection’. According to California Association of Realtors President James Liptak, “…C.A.R.’s Housing Affordability Fund is dedicating $1 million to the program this year, and estimates that as many as 3,000 families will benefit from the program throughout 2009.”

One out of every ten Californians is

currently unemployed – the highest rate we’ve seen since June of 1983 – making job security just another reason why so many families are currently passing on the idea of home ownership. However, with the Mortgage Protection Plan now in place, potential buyers can feel better and have peace of mind about covering their monthly payment in the face of adversity. Although the program mandates a six month “vesting period”, as well as a four month “actively at work” requirement before a new homeowner can apply for any of the benefits, should said owner be released from his/her job they would then be entitled to $1500.00 in aid towards their mortgage for six months. And while the vesting period and actively at work requirement are two different notions, they can be fulfilled concurrently to ensure the new owner meets the requirements sooner than later. Also if there is/was a co-borrower involved, than there is potential for an additional $750.00 in non-repayable assistance.

C.A.R’s Housing Affordability Fund Mortgage Protection Program is again a great example of how professional Realtors look out for their clients first. The actual application has to be turned in by your Realtor, and if this free program is not something your Realtor has mentioned to you yet, call me. My new number is (925) 726-1444. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns pertaining to real estate financing, or to help point you to true local real estate professionals. tfreymortgages@yahoo.com – Advertisement

Winery from page 1A family business might be considering a more profitable commercial move to onsite wine making.

But it’s not just grapes that are increasing the agricultural profitability of East County. Roadside fruit and vegetable farmers now can now increase their income thanks to Assembly Bill 2168, passed in January of this year. The bill allows farmers to stock jams, jellies, olives and other “value-added” items that are grown on or near local farms. The bill permits farmers to sell fresh produce as well, including eggs, and even items such as water and sodas, as a way to boost their income.

All of which is good news for the region, said Piepho, although the enterprise is far from finished: “I’ve worked very hard to amend and adjust county policies in order to support our local farmers and agricultural economy. However, I know we have much more work to do. I look forward to these ongoing efforts and making Contra Costa a partner with our county’s agricultural future.”

Delta from page 3A divvy out. The peripheral canal is not a water plan.”

County Supervisor Mary Piepho is following in the footsteps of her late father, former state Sen. John Nejedly, by working with representatives from the other four Delta counties to fight the canal plan.

Nejedly and others were able to get an earlier canal plan killed through a ballot initiative in 1982.

“The governor’s getting ready to slam that canal down our throats once again,” said Piepho. “There’s significant legislative support for it. We are at great risk from the legislative process and the governor’s desire to build a legacy project that is the size of a Panama Canal right through our Delta. They are anxious to send more water around our Delta, which would be devastating and sucking more water than is available through a conveyance facility.

“We may have to go into the initiative (process) and full-on war. My dad said, ‘When I die they will bring back the peripheral canal.’ We are working hard (to fight it). Public awareness is very low on this. We should all remember the water shortages and limits on showering and brown lawns. That awareness should be front and center in our minds and advocacy.”

The pins are available for purchase at City Hall and during upcoming decennial events such as next month’s Almond Festival and the tree lighting ceremony in December. The limited-edition pins will be available through the culmination of the decennial celebrations in May of 2010.

Proceeds from sale of the pins go toward the Oakley Youth Advisory Committee’s efforts to plan youth-oriented activities in the city.

The committee, which formed in 2006, consists of 11 Oakley residents between the ages of 12 to 18, whose primary goal is to advise city leaders and staff on cultural awareness and related topics that affect local youth. The committee also participates in community service projects such as the Marsh Creek Clean Up, scheduled for Sept. 19. Money raised through pin sales will help the committee host events such as the summertime Movies in the Plaza.

Rays dazzle at state tourney KETCHEL

Hoop phenom Adams Middle School sixth-grader John Ketchel, 11, has been honored with the designation of Junior Phenom by Adidas, earning an invitation to the Adidas Junior Phenom National Camp at Alliant International University in San Diego. John was one of only eight players from the Bay Area to be selected to the camp, which invites 120 of the nation’s top basketball players in grades six through eight.

John plays point guard for the Titans and Bay Pro basketball clubs, and is also a demonstration shooter for Shoot-A-Way at major coaching clinics. This year he was named MVP at the Berkeley Twilight Spring League in the 11-13 age group, as well as MVP at several camps this summer. He has also been selected as SportsKid of the Month for August by Sports Illustrated-Kids, and his profile has been published on the SI-Kids Web site.

The California Rays Baseball Club is no stranger to championship victories, having won four in its first season of competition. The season-ending State Championship tournament marked a perfect – as in 6-0 – climax to a remarkable year for the 12U team.

The Rays were the only team to go undefeated in the state tournament. In their first game, they overwhelmed the Tracy Outlaws 15-0 by the third inning, invoking the eight-run rule. The Danville Devils suffered a similar fate, ousted in the fourth inning. The Rays clinched their third game of the day against the Pleasant Hill Mohawks, 13-2.

Early Sunday morning out at the Big League of Dreams in Manteca, the Rays eliminated the Walnut Creek Vipers 10-1 by the fourth inning, and in the semi-finals, they squeezed out a 2-1 win against San Anselmo, landing them in the championship game.

Cameron Pham started off the first inning with a roar – a grand-slam homer – and the Rays never looked back, notching nine hits and five more runs in the second inning. Dustin Dibble closed out the semifinal game and then pitched his final four allowable innings in the championship game, throwing untouchable heat. Matt Stahli closed out the 10-4 Rays victory.

Other highlights include a first-ever home run by Stahli, exceptional pitching by RJ Prince, Cole Santos, Pham, Stahli, and Dibble. Zack Negrete behind the dish read

The 12U California Rays players and coaches, front row from left, are Cole Santos, Junior Romero and Joey O’Neal; middle row: Matt Stahli, Zack Negrete, Cameron Pham and RJ Prince; and back row: Manager Tim Santos, Dustin Dibble, Jaelin Ratliff and Coach Darrell O’Neal. and reacted, protecting his plate and defensive players Joey O’Neal, Junior Romero, Jaelin Ratliff, Santos and Stahli, restricting the Rays’ runs allowed to an unprecedented seven in six tournament games.

The Rays had just returned from Cooperstown, N.Y., where they played at Cooperstown Dreams Park and were inducted into the Original American Youth Baseball Hall of Fame, placing 28th out of 102 teams across the United States and Canada.

They were one of only two teams representing California that week, and their families and fans were recognized as “The Cowbell Team” – featuring the most positive and

supportive fans for their own team as well as for their opponents.

Manager Tim Santos described the season as an “unexpected blessing. This group of talented kids, and the amazing families that support me, my staff, everybody’s children, is more than I could ever ask for. We aren’t just a baseball team; we’re a baseball family. It’s the icing on the cake to end such a successful season with a state championship. I’m so proud of my team, thankful to my players’ families, and look forward to another successful season.”

Congratulations to the California Rays, 12U state champions!

tons of looks as a football player. He’s the strongest kid in the program.”

Another returning starter to watch is senior defensive back Will Lewis, who will also be a receiver this year – “he’s a big part of what we do,” said Hartwig.

When asked what he’s expecting from his team this season, the coach said, “Every year it’s different. Every year expectations, for me at least, are the same in the way I approach it. Every team kind of finds itself. This group has the potential, I think, to do some of the great things we did last year. They have got to be able to see that. I think they can.

“We definitely should be back in the playoffs. But you never know. It’s a long time between now and November. You not only need to be good, but you have to have the breaks here and there. I am excited. The kids are working hard and can do some great things this year. Our league is going to be wide open this year.

There’s a lot of good quality teams this year. It’s going to be a good one.”

Freedom fans will get a chance to find out for themselves at the home opener on Sept. 4 against Amador Valley followed by another home game on Sept. 11 vs. Berkeley. The Falcons are on the road Sept. 18 at Fairfield and Sept. 25 at West before returning home Oct. 2 vs.

College Park. After a bye week, league action kicks off Oct. 16 at Deer Valley followed on Oct. 23 at Antioch. The Falcons then host Pittsburg on Oct. 30 and play away games on Nov. 6 at Heritage and Nov. 14 at Liberty.

We are building on our strength as a group right now. The kids are working hard. We will have a lot of new faces that don’t have much varsity experience. The kids went to camp this summer and did some good things.”

Hartwig will have a better idea of his team’s strengths and weaknesses after its Aug. 28 scrimmage at Las Lomas against that school, San Leandro and Concord.

But Hartwig said his team’s experience level is both a strength and weakness. He can no longer rely on last year’s star trio, but seven sophomores gained varsity experience in the last four weeks of last season and 10 players in all with varsity experience are returning.

“They are a close group – that’s huge,” said the coach about one of his team’s strengths. “We really preach ‘team’ and ‘family.’ This group has that.

Just their ability to work hard is huge.”

Jordan Willis, a junior who led last year’s 7-3 JV team, will be at quarterback this season. “He’s had success as a freshman and JV,” said Hartwig. “A lot of that was his ability to lead a group of kids. He doesn’t have the strongest arm, but knows how to put the ball in the right places and keep us out of trouble.

He’s learning to be a good leader, which a quarterback needs.”

The coach is also looking for big things from a big guy: 6-foot-3-inch, 270-pound senior tackle Daniel Marcel.

Aquaknights make spectacular splash

by Dave Roberts Staff Writer

The Aquaknights swim team, which had humble beginnings more than 30 years ago as a small group swimming in the Knightsen Elementary School pool, has grown into a powerhouse of about 300 swimmers now making a splash in the brand new pools at Diamond Hills Sports Club in Oakley.

The team took first place in the TwinCounty Swim League Championships last month at which three relay teams broke league records and set four individual records. The Aquaknights have also been undefeated in league dual meets.

After leaving the Knightsen pool about four years ago, the team shared the Freedom and Heritage high pools with other teams, which can be awkward as the teams must juggle schedules for pool time. The partnership with Diamond Hills to provide a home pool once again and bringing on Cindi Coats as head coach this season have led to a major increase in the team’s quantity and quality of swimmers.

The Aquaknights took first place in the Twin-County Swim League Championships last month.

But as swimmers are now required to number of swimmers. It turns out they nearjoin Diamond Hills to be on the team (in ly doubled that number, from less than 170 addition to the $250 team fee), the Aquak- at the end of last year to about 320 at the nights had hoped to just maintain last year’s beginning of the season that began in April.

Coats, who has been coaching for 20 years, attributes it to the team’s allowing everyone to swim and compete.

“The Aquaknights in the past have not had the best competitive reputation,” she said. “The East County Stingrays has been the team for the elites or cream of the crop as far as league swimming, with the Dolphins behind them. The Aquaknights’ philosophy has been that even if your kid can’t swim competitive strokes, that’s OK; we will have them on the team.”

Although that’s the emphasis, the Aquaknights have also made great strides in competitiveness. They scored 3,487 points in the league championship, easily outdistancing second-place finisher Hercules, which scored 2,299. The Aquaknights placed in the top three overall in every age group.

Their success is all the more remarkable considering where they’ve come from.

According to Coats, “Last year was the first time they ever won anything at a meet as far as team scoring in many years.”

Wrestler sets sights on Olympic qualification

by Michael Dixon Correspondent David Klingsheim, arguably the best wrestler in Liberty High School history, is not resting on his many laurels. As he gets set to attend and wrestle at the University of Nebraska later this month, he’s also taking aim at the Olympics.

Klingsheim hopes to qualify for the 2012 Summer Games in Greco-Roman wrestling and the 2016 games in freestyle wrestling. If he’s able to accomplish both, he’ll be the first person to qualify for the Olympics in both disciplines. He also wants to qualify for the World Team competition

next year. This past year, he qualified for the World Team Trials but was unable to go due to his school schedule.

His more immediate goal, however, is to do a good job wrestling for head coach Mark Manning at the University of Nebraska, which, along with Iowa State, won the 2009 Big 12 Conference championship tournament. In addition to their conference tournament success, the Cornhuskers finished third at the NCAA tournament.

Klingsheim said he wants to be “at least a four-time NCAA placer and also win a national championship” while at Nebraska. Although he could have gone to school pretty much anywhere, he chose Nebraska

because of its elite wrestling program, as well as the school’s academic reputation.

To say that Klingsheim had a successful high school wrestling career would be an understatement. As a junior in 2008, he won the California Interscholastic Federation State Wrestling Championship in the 112-pound weight class. As a senior he won the same tournament again – only this time he was wrestling in the 119-pound class. His record in his senior year was a perfect 56-0.

Although his state championship victories came in his final two years, he was successful for all four years. In his sophomore year, he finished in fifth place in the 112-pound weight class. As a freshman, he

finished in eighth place in the 103-pound class. In total, Klingsheim was only the 18th person to ever place all four years at state.

Despite his accomplishments, Klingsheim acknowledges that he couldn’t have done it by himself. He credits his family, coaches Greg Chappel and Roy Rios, Ken Turnage at K2 Construction, and Rudy Dizon, who helped him get his scholarship with Nebraska, as well as the Brentwood community as a whole.

“Wrestling opened doors and created opportunities,” he said, adding that wrestling helped him build relationships that would otherwise have passed him by.

of each turn.

Like most of the USA Team in Rome, she was wearing the Jaked swimsuit that has been making major waves in the swimming world due to its extra buoyancy, resulting in world records dropping like drunken flies – and also spurring a backlash from swimming purists. It was temporarily banned by the International Swimming Federation and caused one top swimmer to withdraw from a meet when her skin-tight suit split, exposing her derriere.

“One person said, ‘If it doesn’t look like it’s spray-painted on, then it’s too big,’” said Dwelley. “It takes an hour and a half to put on. It’s kind of like wearing a corset. It makes you swim different. You can be more on top of the water.

Those suits allow you to swim so much faster than you ever could.”

And that can be a good thing for swimmers who are always looking for ways to shave a tenth of a second off of their times. But it can also be too much of a good thing as well as being a bit unfair to have races won in laboratories rather than in the swimming pool, according to Dwelley.

“I do not like the technology at all,” she said. “I feel to some extent it gives an advantage to people who don’t necessarily work as hard. At the meet (in Rome there were) 40 world records broken. The fans don’t even get excited when a world record is broken. That’s not how the sport of swimming should

AUGUST 21, 2009

be. You swim fast because of the suit you put on – and not all of the hours you put in.”

But, aside from that controversy, Dwelley had a great time on the world stage. She spent 10 days in Italy before she swam and then hung around to cheer on her teammates and do some sight-seeing. “It was an incredible experience,” she said. “I learned so much and I have had a lot of fun.”

Now she’s gearing up for her junior year at Stanford, where, of course, she’s on the swim team as well as majoring in psychology.

“I absolutely love the team at Stanford,” she said. “I am just really excited to be there. The coaches are great. The team atmosphere is one of a kind. We are all so positive and love working hard.

Hopefully, in my next two years at Stanford I continue to improve and the team continues to move up at the NCAA level.

I will probably have to take a fifth year at Stanford to graduate. At that time I will probably compete in the 2012 Olympic Trials. So hopefully I will make the team.”

And after that she’s not sure yet what she will do for her career. She might go into sports psychology or perhaps return to Brentwood and help run the Dwelley family farm on Delta Road.

One thing she’s sure about, however, is that she made the right move by getting into swimming.

“I love every minute of it,” she said.

“I can’t imagine my life without it.”

Heart attack response expanded to East County Heart attack victims in East Contra Costa have a better chance of surviving with the addition of another hospital to the county’s heart attack response system.

Contra Costa Health Services’ (CCHS) Emergency Medical Services Division (EMS) has added Sutter Delta Medical Center (SDMC) in Antioch to its STEMI (ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction) system. The STEMI system is designed to allow paramedics to rapidly identify and transport high-risk heart attack victims to specially equipped hospitals or STEMI receiving centers.

“The addition of Sutter Delta Medical Center to our STEMI system will improve access to lifesaving cardiac interventions for

patients with high-risk STEMI heart attacks,” said EMS Medical Director Dr. Joe Barger.

“We anticipate EMS transport time to a STEMI center will be improved by up to 10 minutes or more for patients in East County with the strategic location of this facility.”

Barger said a STEMI, a high-risk heart attack, could be reversed by specialized cardiac procedures that are best given within 90 to 120 minutes of the heart attack victim’s first sign of chest pain.

“During a heart attack, a clot blocks the flow of blood to the heart, and heart muscle begins to die,” said Barger. “The sooner treatment is started, the better the chance of preventing or limiting damage to the heart. Add-

ing Sutter Delta as a STEMI center provides one more option for patients” Barger said the STEMI system begins when fire and ambulance service paramedics, who respond to about 7,000 chest pain calls per year, use a 12-lead EKG to identify STEMI heart attacks on scene. A STEMI receiving center is notified to activate its cardiac team and provide specialized treatment as soon as the patient arrives.

“We currently average 83 minutes from the time 911 is called to the time intervention by the hospital cardiac team takes place.

The STEMI national standard is 90 minutes from arrival at the Emergency Department to intervention,” said Barger. “This makes us

Symptoms include discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes or that goes away and comes back; pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach; shortness of breath; cold sweat; nausea; or lightheadedness.

For information on the STEMI system and the six STEMI receiving centers in Contra Costa that provide 24-hour specialized cardiac catheterization services, visit www. cccems.org.

Roadhouse to rock at Nines next week Fresh off the release of his new live album, “Greetings From the Roadhouse,” East Bay bluesman Michael Robinson and his band will perform a series of outdoor shows at Nines restaurant in Brentwood from 6 to 9 p.m. on Aug. 28 and Sept. 25.

“We’re really excited to be appearing in Brentwood for the first time,” Robinson said. “Nines is a great venue, and we hear the patrons are really receptive to our style of music.”

Released in mid-June, “Greetings From the Roadhouse” is the former journalist’s first full-length CD in nearly three years. Recorded over two nights at Meyer Sound Hall at Expressions College in Emeryville, it’s also is Robinson’s first live album. The disc will be available for sale at the Nines shows.

“I think we’ve succeeded in staying true to the original impact of these crowd favorites and yet put our own stamp on them,” Robinson said of the new CD. “We also have live versions of three of my originals. So this disc is a pretty accurate depiction of our live performances.”

A former newspaper reporter and published author, Robinson burst onto the Bay Area music scene in 2006 with the release of “Playing in the Dark.” Since then, he has performed roughly 50 shows per year while maintaining his own busi-

ROBINSON ness as a freelance writer and media-relations consultant.

On “Greetings From the Roadhouse,” Robinson and his four-piece band tear through three originals and nine classic covers such as “Bad to the Bone,” “House is a Rockin’,” “Johnny B. Goode” and “Got My Mojo Workin’.”

In addition to Robinson on guitars and lead vocals, the disc features veteran performers Rich Rogers on keyboards and vocals, Jay Kristensen on bass, and Tom Hushmagosh on drums and vocals.
