Correspondent

Oakley's Economic Development Manager Dwayne Dalman presented the Oakley City Council with a battle plan for moving the city's trade and commerce engine f01w ard during this week's council meeting. Not only did he discuss a strategy for the 2014-1 5 fiscal year, he also introduced a new incentive program to help build economic growth in the downtown sector. " Before we can address the needs of businesses, we have to have a relationship with them to understand what their needs are," explained Dalman as he detailed a five-step strategy to boost Oakley's economy.

First, Dalman recommends city officials examine incentives that could be used to make Oakley a more appealing destination for entrepreneurs - a necessity for any healthy economy. The second step

would be to highlight those incentives as well as other city achievements to prospective business owners and developers. While working on making the city a more desirable economic and commercial hub, the

city must also focus on fostering relationships with existing businesses to help them flourish in step three of the plan. Finally, in steps four and five, the city would need to continue to facilitate fresh business opportu-

nities in the community wllile focusing on ways to improve the look and feel of the city while staying true to its hist01ical small-town roots. see Economy page 22A

Memory of local volunteer lives on

by Corey Hunt Correspondent

The legacy of a Liberty High School and UC Berkeley graduate turned Peace Corps volunteer is receiving international attention as questions mount regarding the health practices that preceded his death while serving overseas.

Nick Castle succumbed to what has been desctibed as a short but turbulent gastrointestinal illness in February of 201 3, just seven months after he arrived in southern China to teach English in a rural community. He was 23 years old.

His untimely death is now the subject of a New Yo rk Times investigatio n that is pushing the Peace Corps to answer questio ns about both alleged and acknowledged flaws in its healthcare system. As his story gains international atten-

tion, Castle's fanlily hopes Nick's legacy will serve as an inspiration to others.

"Nick was kind of a born diplomat. He liked helping people and was always civic-minded," said Castle's father, David, a sergeant with the Brentwood Police Department.

"I inmgine he probably would have come back, studied for his master's degree and then gone on to work at the state department."

His mother Sue remembers her son as a driven young man who flowished when he arrived at the UC Berkeley campus after spending his high school years volunteering around his hometown in Brentwood. " He really ma de it a ho me fo r himself and would go out of his way to make people feel see Volunteer page 22A

Caring Closet gets community boost

by Amy Schrader Correspondent

When a local church learned that Oakley Elementary's Caring Closet program, which offers school supplies to children in need, was running low on donatio ns, the congregation's yo ungest members decided to take matters into their own hands. The mission to replenish supplies has blossomed into a long-term partnership between the school and the church, and the symbiotic relationships benefits everyone involved.

"T here are tremendous needs for the basic supplies in school, which many people take for gran ted," sa id Donna Williams, director of the yo uth and young adu lt ministry at Bread of Life Community C hu rc h.

"There are so many ch ildren who attend school and don't have the necessary supplies, and mo re and mo re teachers are using money from their

own sala ries to pay for supplies."

The church's youth ministry collects paper, pencils, glue sticks, composition notebooks, scissors, colored pencils, crayons and other school supplies to keep the Caring Closet stocked for children in need - a need that is especially great at the beginning of the school year.

"We are honored to have tllis gift," said Co rrine Evans, Oakley Elementa ry School office manager.

"There is a strong need for this type of support. It's hard for families, especially with more than one child , to purchase all of the supplies needed.

Now, when we have a student in need, we can take them to the Caring Closet and let them fill up with all o f the goodies they need. With the Caring Closet, those students will be ready for the school year."

The Caring Closet opened July 25 for the 20 14-1 5 school year and fanlilies in need have already taken advan-

tage of the community's generosity.

"We are showing that we care about our schools," said Erin Grimes, a Bread of Life Church youth member.

"We want to help others."

Fellow member Jailin F ussell agreed: "We respect our schools and want to do what we can to support them" The small congregation with a big heart will continue to collect donations throughout the year as the need for school supplies is ongoing.

"If our efforts ca n help one teacher, student o r family, it is worthwhile," said Williams.

To find o ut mo re abo ut The Caring Closet or to donate, email Donna Williams at bolccyyaml4@gmail.com or call 925-627-6948. The Bread of Life Community Church is located at 18 O'Neill Court in Oakley.

Divas know how to network

by Amy Schrader

The Delta Divas is an all-fema le networking group that supports and empowers it's members while having plenty of fun along the way.

Correspondent We've all heard the old adage, "It's who you know, not what you know that matters."

Relationships build trust and camaraderie and create opportunities. In today's competitive economy, a person's ability to get hired or even interviewed can be influenced by one's personal network. For women looking to connect in East County, Delta Divas has the answer.

The Delta Divas is a networking group that strives to support, empower and open doors for women. New members are always welcomed with open arms.

"Our goal is to connect all of the cool and divalicious ladies of the Delta and to get everyone's business booming while serving as a referral source for anyone who needs to know where to go for just about anything," said executive health coach Deb Dutcher, who co-founded Delta Divas with Jennifer Jost in 20 12.

The group is open to any woman who has a desire to connect with other women.

The Divas hosts monthly meetings where members meet to connect, socialize, and support each other's needs. The Divas do more than exchange business cards. They know how to have fun. Members drink wine, socialize and share their experiences. Members can bring coupons or samples to promote their businesses. Members are invited to briefly share information about themselves or their business at each meeting, and once a

month, one Diva member is selected at random to deliver a long form presentation to help promote her business and services.

"Being able to put women in a room and have them connect, share what they do and support each other is amazing," Dutcher said.

Pat McCaskey, a senior consultant for Thirty-One Gifts, agrees: "Being part of the Delta Divas is a great experience. I love supporting women in business, and this is a great group of professional women. It's a fabulous, relaxing evening, and it's great to share a glass of wine after a long day," said McCaskey.

Best of all, Delta Divas members do not have to be business owners or even work to take advantage of the networking benefits.

The Divas are about supporting their fellow women, so ladies who are new to town and looking to socialize and make new friends are welcome to join as well. While their is a focus on women's business endeavors, there is also

a focus on building relationships and having fun that appeals to all women. ''The more people you are connected to, the more you flourish," Dutcher said. ''You can network over social media sites, but nothing replaces the trust and rapport created by meeting people face to face."

The Delta Divas meet on the second Tuesday of the month at Co. Co. County Wine Company, located at 633 First St. in downtown Brentwood, from 6:15 to 8:15 p.m. Membership is free. The next meeting is scheduled for Sept. 9.

To learn more about the Delta Divas, visit the group on Meetup at www.meetup. com/Delta-Divas-Networking or like them on Facebook at www.facebookcom/ DeltaDivasNetworking.

Library supports pets in need Each month, the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano distributes food to 600 homes with hungry pets. To support the effort, the Brentwood Library invites volunteers and animal lovers to the Brentwood Community Center, 35 Oak St., Aug. 20, at 4 p.m. to help package pet food donation.

You can lend a hand by scooping kibble into baggies and decorating treat bags to distribute to needy dog and cat owners.

For more information, call 925-5165290 or visit the library website at www. ccclib.org/programs.

Rotary recognition Vicki Sexton has been named Brentwood Rotarian of the Year. Sexton serves as Rotary treasurer and community services officer.

Sexton, the vice president and manager of First Bank's Brentwood branch, received the prestigious honor for her role in updating the civic organization's bookkeeping system. She is also an instrumental force behind the club's Dictionary Project, which donates dictionaries to incoming third graders each year.

The Brentwood Rotary Oub meets Mondays at the Wedgewood Banquet Center, 100 Summerset Drive, at noon. For more information, visit http://brentwood.rotary5160.net.

Business Owners Are Busy.

Bank with a Bank that Understands. "... We began worki ng with First Bank on Lone Tree Way about two years ago. I could not be more delighted with the level of service that I am now receiving.

Our accounting and tax practice has been serving clients from around the world for over 36 years. We maintained a banking relationship with another bank for the better part of those years and that relationship began to suffer. The policy of that bank changed and their commitment to local businesses began to wane.

I met the manager of First Bank at a meeting of a local service cl ub and decided to bring my accounts to that bank. I could not be happier.

The service is outstanding and they make every effort to accommodate their customers' every need. This is particu larly important to me when I am traveling. The bank manager and her staff are kind, courteous, and professional in every way. They make banking enjoyable."

CO MMUNITY

By Attorney Rhonda Kraeber

Upside: The economy is up and businesses are hiring. Downside: Employers are routinely (oftentimes unknowingly) violating the Labor Laws with those new employees and opening themselves up to trouble from the courts, the Labor Commission, the EDD, and/or the taxing authorities.

Businesses-new and existing- all too commonly find themselves in hot water with at least one of the various government entities that interject themselves into the employer-employee relationship because their personnel policies and procedures either don't exist, are not written in compliance with the laws, and/or are not followed routinely. The California Labor Laws leave no room for mistakes; you're either in compliance or you're not. And if you're not, the penalties for your mistakes can be extremely costly.

Some examples: Independent contractors.

Very simply, most workers do not qualify as an independent contractor. Consequences for this mistake include significant back taxes, penalties, overtime pay, meal and rest break pay, and on and on. Another example: Misclassifying all salaried employees as exempt. just because a worker is

salaried does not mean they are exempt from the overtime laws. Similar consequences flow from this mistake. More examples: Not understanding the various and complex leave of absence laws, failing to provide meal and rest breaks, taking improper deductions from paychecks, failing to provide final checks when required, failing to w1derstand, train, and enforce the anti-discrimination and harassment laws, enforcing illegal vacation policies, failing to understand and pay according to the overtime laws, and failing to have an employee manual specific to your business. Consequences: Too many to list.

So what do you do? Don't wait until you've been served with a lawsuit, Labor Commission claim or notice from the EDD or IRS. Get legally compliant policies and procedures in place and then use them-always. No exceptions.

As the only employment law specialist in East Contra Costa County, I have been assisting employers and employees for over 23 years with all aspects of the employment relationship.

Gabbing with Guy

Brian,.s Real Estate Update ~~

By Brimt Sllnrp

BRENTWOOD = SEAHAVEN? Seahaven is a fictional town from "The Truman Show;' a movie that came out in 1988. The whole town was built in a dome and then staffed with actors to convince the main character, Truman, that it was all real.

They didn't want Truman to ever attempt to leave, so Seahaven was continually voted as "Best Place to Live" and this fact was trumpeted to Truman every at every opportunity.

Well, the City of Brentwood was recently named as the best city in California for homeownership! No, really! This is a real award. (And no, you aren't living in a reality show unbeknownst to you. At least, not all of you! ) There is a consumer advocacy website called Nerd Wallet that ranks cities as best for job seekers, best for young families, etc.

O ne of their categories is for homeownership. They look at three factors. 1. Are homes available? 2. Can you afford to live there? 3. Is the area growing?

If you've tried to buy a home here in

ioh

---:.·

the last few years, you may disagree with factors #1 and #2 above. However, Nerd Wallet looks at the ratio of homeowners to renters to factor if homes are available, not at how many homes are actually for sale. They figure that if most properties are owned by landlords, that means it's too hard for owner-occupant buyers to buy a home.

Around 75% of Brentwood homes are owner-occupied, which is considered a good sign for this ranking. In regards to affordability, even though our prices have risen drastically over the last few years, we are still very affordable compared to the high-priced communities west of here, as you get closer to the major job centers.

in the summer, when farmers' markets and grocery stores are filled with fresh, colorful produce, it's easier than ever. From juicy red tomatoes and yellow sweet com to vibrant green broccoli, seasonal produce can be even more enjoyable with the addition of spices and herbs.

"I'm always thinking about ways to make vegetables taste great other than just adding butter and salt," said registered dietitian Wendy Bazilian. ''Adding spices and herbs is easy to do, and they only cost pennies per serving. Plus, they're already in your kitchen."

To add flavor to everyday vegetable favorites like zucchini and carrots, Bazilian recommends an easy rule of thumb: start with V4 teaspoon of spices and herbs, such as basil and oregano, per cup of veggies, and add a splash of citrus juice or olive oil. ''You can also dial up the flavor depending on the cooking method," Bazilian said. "Roasting vegetables like broccoli and tomatoes creates a caramelized flavor that pairs deliciously with garlic, basil, oregano, honey and white vinegar. Grilling vegetables gives a smoky, charred flavor. Or, let the natural flavor of green beans shine by steaming them with rosemary and thyme."

Land purchased for Deer Valley Regional Park The Eas t Bay Regio na l Park District recently announced the completion o f two substantial land purchases in East Contra Costa County. Toge ther the 960-acre Dainty Ranch a nd the adj acent I ,885acre Roddy Ranch encompass three valleys and ridges (Deer, Briones and H orse valleys), providing the potential to create the body of the future D eer Valley Regional Park as envisioned in the District's 201 3 M aster Plan.

"This is a significant conservation victory for the East Bay," said General Manage r Robert E. D oyle.

"The combined acquisitio ns prese rve a huge a nd beautiful a rea of open space with a rich loca l history."

The new additi ons to the pa rk district will pro vide excellent public access enh a ncements, such as oppo rtunities fo r new tra il co nnecti o ns between Black Diamo nd Mines and Ro und Valley regional parks.

"Along with property owned by Contra Costa County Water District and the unopened Ma rsh C ree k State Park, these acquisitions will create a circle o f public property connecting the northerly side of Mount Diablo State Park to the southeasterly side adj acent to the Morga n Territo ry Regional Prese rve," said District Land Acquisitio n Manage r Liz Musbach.

D ainty Ranch is located a lo ng Briones Va lley Road in an unincorpo rated area, approximately three miles west o f the City of Brentwood and 2.5 miles so uth of the City o f Anti oc h; it abuts the so uth west co rner o f the Roddy Ranch property.

The Da inty Ranch property encompasses an impo rtant open space co rrid o r fo r wildlife movement, connecting pro tected la nds to the no rthwest at Black Dia mo nd Mines Regio na l Preserve to protected lands in so utheast Contra Costa Co unty such as the Marsh

East Bay Regional Park District Creek State Park, Round Valley Regional Preserve and Los Vaqueros Watershed lands. The property includes substantial grassland a nd oak woodla nd habitats as well as areas of chaparral, oak savanna, we tlands, ponds and the wa ter areas of Briones Valley Creek.

Roddy Ranch also offe rs important biological resources, as well as outstandin g public access o pportunities. The irregula rly shaped property features va ried topography. D ee r Valley traverses the ce ntral area and is fl anked by pro minent rid gelines o n bo th sides.

H o rse Va lley, a seconda ry geographic feature, is located in the north-central po rtio n of the property. Deer Creek runs alo ng the no rtheas t edge o f Dee r Va lley.

Both ranches have historically been used for cattle grazing. On the Roddy property, two sites related to historic ranching a nd farming complexes have been found to be potentially eligible for the California Register of Historic Resources. Continued grazing of the properties will be under the authority of the Park District consistent with the district's wildland vegetation management policies.

The Pa rk District purchased bo th properti es in pa rtnership with the Eas t Contra Costa County H abitat Conse rvancy (ECCCH C) . D ainty Ranch was purchased on July 15 fo r $5.4 million with funding pro vided throu gh the Ca lifornia Wildlife Conse rvancy Boa rd by a Fed eral Section 6 gra nt a nd a Califo rni a State Propositio n 84 gra nt, toge ther with the Park District's Measure WW. The Roddy Ranch purchase was finalized on July 24 for $ 14.2 millio n with funding from the California Wildlife Conservancy Board, Meas ure WW, and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.

District Boa rd Member Ted Radke said, " We're d elighted to prese rve these beauti ful open spaces, in partnership with the ECCCHC, as wildlife habitat a nd the site o f a future regional park."

Before the land may be opened to the public, the district will conduct environmental studies and create the la nd use pla n fo r th e future Regio na l Park.

In the mea ntime, bo th sites will be placed into la nd bank statu s. " It's a large a rea to study and pla n fo r, and this is just the beginning of the process," sa id D oyle, " but it's a n impo rta nt first step towa rd the envisioned D ee r Valley Regional Pa rk. " For mo re informatio n, visit www.ebpa rks.o rg.

Laughing through life's tearjerkers Many years ago, a young comedian entered the small comedy club wearing a long raincoat. He wore cufflinks a nd long pants, a nd took the room by storm. He had us laughing so ha rd we cried. We were in our early twenties, and the night was filled with hila rious antics courtesy of a SENIOR young speed-talking, CORNER fast-moving genius who went a round the room mercilessly throwing jokes at us at high speed. At the end of his routine, he threw open his coat and revealed MARLA he had nothing on LUCKHARDT underneath but the legs of the pants and the sleeves of his shirt. Quickly he closed his coat, yelled "good night" a nd left the room.

That was the first time I saw Robin Williams, and the la ughter from that night, combined with his movies and TV appearances, has lasted 40 years. My heart goes out to all who knew and enjoyed Robin Williams, including his good friend Billy Crystal, his wife and family, and his fa ns, as we cope with our sad Joss.

When we Jose a celebrity or watch the memorials during the Oscars or Emmys, we feel nostalgic, but the passing of Robin

Willia ms has hit me ha rd. Perhaps it's the fact that we a re a month apart in age or that I was lucky eno ugh to see him at Catch a Rising Star in New York all those years ago for a n up close and personal performance. Maybe it's because I'm able to share the joy of his performances with my grandchildren in family-friendly roles such as the genie in "Aladdin." I identify much of my life with the snippets of his movies. I can even remember back to what was happening in my life when he bellowed "Good Morning Vietnam!" Fo r all of these reasons a nd many more, I will miss this brilliant comic and acting icon.

They say la ughter is the best medicine, and I choose to ignore the naysayers who claim it isn't true. Did you know it takes fewer muscles to smile than it does to frown? You might be surprised to learn that it takes 26 facial muscles to smile and more than twice that to frown. Although these numbers are a little arbitrary, it's still important to know that smiling is less strenuous o n the face muscles, so those laugh line wrinkles need to be rethought.

Frown lines a re much worse!

Facial expressions are our way of silently communicating to others how we are feeling at a particular moment. When we smile, it's a sort of a welcoming into see Tears page 1 SA

Friends surprise cancer survivor

Susa~ Schmidt, seen here with husband George was recent! sur~ns~d by a group of friends and family who festooned he~ d home last month to offer their Friends of Susan Schmidt gathered at her Brentwoo nd show her some love. suppo rt a usan Schmidt was disappointed. Due to an unexpected fever, her oncologist was sending her home early and postponing her chemotherapy appointment, a much-needed treatment in her fight against breast cancer, which she's been battling since May. Discouraged, she and her husband George returned to their Summerset III home in Brentwood, but something was noticeably different. A cutomized sign on their garage door read "Bras For The Cause - Honoring Susan."

But that wasn't all. Colorfully decorated bras hung from the trees and adorned her front gate. A friend greeted Susan and escorted her to the backyard where dozens of friends and family - all dressed in pink - gathered to offer their support, showering her with love, hugs and a check for $3,500 to be donated in her name to the American Cancer Society.

"I was completely speechless," Susan said.

"There were bras hanging from every tree limb and birdhouse. They were displayed on wire

S

racks, in the planter boxes and on the doors.

There were bras hanging from the clothesline.

I was so surprised and caught completely off guard. I've never felt so loved."

The presentation of affection occurred July 24, but Susan's friends from her book club had been planning for weeks, hosting a bra decorating party and collecting donations for cancer research.

"When our book club learned that Susan was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer, we knew we had to do something to show our support for this very special lady," said friend Sharon Becker.

The group of girlfriends decorated dozens of bras, using everything from buttons and flowers to feathers and stickers. But the most cherished of all was a bra adorned with small framed-photo charms, featuring her children and grandchildren.

"I still can't believe the love I felt from every single person," Susan said. "I'm completely blown away. I feel very blessed."

Motocrosser catches air at national event

Photo courtesy o f Hunter Cross

Discovery Bay's Hunter Cross, center, recently completed a successful run at the American Motorcycle Association's Amateur Motocross Nationals in Tennessee

Discove ry Bay 11-year-old Hunter Cross wasn't perfect at the American Motorcycle Associatio n's Amateur Motocross Nationals in Tennessee in early August.

He still managed to pull off a series of nice performances.

Battling some of the nation's top Motocrossers in his age group, Cross fini shed seventh, fifth and eleventh in the 65 stock-age class for an overall eighth place fini sh, and 19th, third and seventh in the 65 open-age class to finish ninth .

C ross earned the trip to the prestigio us event after beating out more than 20,000 hopefuls from across America to earn one of the 1,446 qualifying positi ons. " I finished out the week with a few really good races and a few really bad races, which brought down my overall race average," Cross said.

Cross was curtailed by a fall, suspension problems and mechanical issues from the start of the event, which featured 42 competito rs in each o f his races.

His 19th place finish came as a result of his power valve not being reconnected after work to adjust his suspension.

Luck a lso wasn't on his side during his second open-class race. H e led fo r all but the final lap befo re ta king a spill, which pushed him into third. " I tried to catch the two riders in front of me but when I fell I had broken my clutch lever and it was difficult to race hard without being able to use my clutch," C ross said. " 1 did finish the race in third place and was interviewed on the podium with Wes Kain."

C ross, who has been racing since he was 7, isn't discouraged by challenges posed by the spo rt. H e's bro ken his tibia, fibula and ann, and must co nstantly face competitors that have the luxury of being homeschooled to focus on the sport.

Each time he encounters an obstacle on o r off the track, he figuratively or literally moves fo rward. " We've tried to ge t him to try a new sport," said Ka ri C ross, Hunter's mother. " He just loves it. He loves the speed and loves the big jumps."

Former Falcons find success away from spotlight

by Nate Smith Correspondent While the Freedo m High School football program has made a name fo r itself nationally with top Division I recruits over the past few years, it is a handful of former Falcons playing at smaller colleges who are excelling and leading their programs to success.

Away from the spotlight of national television and massive social media followings, student-athletes like David Ternes, Timazray Shepherd and Stephen Rodriguez have been making an impact on their college campuses, showing current high-school student-athletes that there are great intercollegiate options beyond the allure of Division 1. While lower-level Natio nal Collegiate Athletic Association and National Associatio n of Intercollegiate Athletics football may be nonexistent in Northern California, it is thriving in other regions of the state and country.

These three local alumni are reaping the benefits of their opportunities.

Ternes, the 2010 Bay Valley Athletic League Defensive Player of the Year and Freedo m's all-time leading tackler, has found a home at linebacker fo r G rinnell College in Iowa. Now entering his senio r season, Ternes has racked up numerous accolades in his first three seasons playing fo r the academically prestigio us liberal

arts school. Recently named as a USA College Football Preseason F irst-Team All-American for Division III, Ternes has ea rned first-team all-conference awards in each of the past two seasons, been academic all-conference all three seasons and was named a Cliff Harris Award finalist in 201 3.

The Cliff Harris Awa rd is awa rded to the nation's top small college defensive player. Ternes was recognized as one of fift y players in the country to make the cut as a finalist. Alo ng with his standard of excellence on the gridiron, Ternes has found a home on a campus with stringent academic admission requirements, and enj oys the feel of a tight-knit college communjty. " Going somewhere different has been a great experience," stated Ternes, o n his decision to move to a new pa rt of the country with no previous ties. " We're ve ry close knit, like a family. It's not all about football. We help each other with academics and life in general."

Shepherd will not only be taking advantage of the opportunity to go play college football at Divisio n II Pace University in New Yo rk, but he will also continue his success as a multi-sport collegiate athlete, specializing in short sprints on the track and field team after fini shing fourth in the I 00-meters at the California see Freedom page 19A

Brentwood's Ryland zooms past finish line " Fast Freddie" Ryland of Brentwood lived up to his name Saturday night - flying past the competition to win two features in two different divisions at Antioch Speedway.

First, Ryland strapped into the H obby Stock car that was qualified by his wife, Patti, in a heat race. He drove for 72 1aps, which was the predetermined refueling break for the I00lap Delta Classic.

While the Hobby Stocks made their pit stop, the International Motor Contest Association (IMCA) SportMod feature took place. While guzzling a sport drink, Ryland jumped from his wife's car and into his SportM od. He chased down and passed nationally ranked 2nd-place driver Nick Spainhoward of Bakersfieid in the final two laps of the IMCA race.

If that wasn't enough, Ryland slid back into the driver's seat of the H obby Stock for 28 more laps of racing. He battled crosstown 1ival Brad Myers and Vacaville's Nick Viscussi, Ill to the finish line to win the Delta Classic.

"This ranks as the best night of racing l ever had," Ryland said. " I do not know which of the two wins was better. I always race to win, but I was not expecting these results."

Both wins came by way of passing the field, because Ryland started near the back of the lineup. In the IMCA SportMod feature, Ryland broke free from the pack after passing Rob Gallaher of San Jose and Megan Ponciano of Oakley.

"I'm just frustrated," he said. "The caution erased my lead. What a great race."

Late in the race, Gallaher passed Ponciano, who finished fo urth. Jeremy Hoff of Copperopolis passed Jordan H agar of Bakersfield

Brentwood's Freddie Ryland (purpl e) took the checked fl ag in t he Hobby Stock race last Sat urday at t he Antioch Speedw ay.

Spainhoward raced to have a quarter-lap lead by the mid-point of the SportMod event. " Witho ut a caution I would never have caught him," Ryland said.

Luckily, a spinning car brought out the yellow flag and put Spainhoward and Ryland side by side with five laps to go. " I went for the top line on the restart," Ryland said. "I did to him what he d id to me

at a race in Watsonville. l drove high on the track."

Ryland used the same strategy two weeks ago at Antioch Speedway, when he u pset Spainhoward on his first visit to the track. " I've raced against him several times at several tracks," Ryland said of Spainhoward.

"But I've only been able to beat him here."

Spa inhoward was in disbelief at the finish.

for fifth.

Cars broke down and engines failed as the hobby stock d1ivers tried to get their cars to last I00 laps. They normally compete in 20lap feature events.

"Things come loose on the car when you race that long," Ryland, who is an auto mechanic, explained. "Maintenance is a key factor in a long race. So is patience. I started way in the back and just took my time."

After the break, the cars were allowed to draw for restart position. Patti Ryland drew " first" for her husband and her car. " I wanted to drive her car in the big race," Ryland said. "She's the best. She said she could help me more in the pits - and she was right."

Myers emerged as Ryland's top challenger in the final 28 laps.

When Ryland took a comfortable lead, Viscussi III made his move on M yers as they came down the fron t stretch to the checkered flag. Viscussi Ill's fro nt bumper crossed the fi nish line just inches ahead of M yers' bumper.

Following third-place Myers was Dan McCown of Oakley. F ifth went to Danville's Jim Freethy. Top-runner N ick Baldwin of Oakley took sixth after missing laps to repair a broken ball joint.

Freedom from page 17A Junior College State Championships this past spring.

Shepherd, who just completed his first three post-secondary years at Butte College, not only proved himself to be among the fastest athletes in the state of California, but also earned Offensive MY P honors in the junior college state championship game. ' Shep' was recruited to Pace by Setters first-yea r head coach Andrew Rondeau.

"Timazray will be evidence that good things come in small packages," he said. " With his legitimate speed, he will bring another component to our offense. H e will also be an ambassador for our program on campus and in the community."

After scoring five touchdowns for Butte last season, and averaging nearly 25 yards per carry in the run game, Shepherd is eager to make an impact at his new school.

"I'm looking to go there and help rebuild, use my expe rience wi th one of the top programs in the nation," Shepherd said. "Coach Rondea u did a good job recognizing how I co uld fit in there, and I'm just eager to raise the program to the next level."

Rodriguez, meanwhile, chose to stay in-state and join the football program at the University of Redlands. After catching ten passes and scoring one touchdown last season, the junio r is looking for a breakout season after earning a starting wide receiver spot during the season. The

former first-team all-league wide receiver at Freed om, Rodriguez spoke about the importance of the solid academics at a school such as Redlands, but also acknowledged that even in the world of Division III football, it was the opportunity to play in a successful program that was the difference between the Bulldogs and other schools that recruited him out of high school.

Redlands returns to camp on Aug. 20, and after qualifying for the national playoffs in 20 13, find themselves with two large challenges to open 20 14, opening with nationally ranked Mary-Hardin Baylor (MHB) of Texas and Linfield College of Oregon. It will be the fourth time in the past three seasons that the Bulldogs have faced MHB, including twice last season; in the opener and again in the first round of the playoffs. Redlands has not won any of the past three meetings. ''I'm excited to be an upperclassmen and a leader now," said Rodriguez, discussing his transition into a starting role on the field. " We have some big challenges early, and will definitely have to get creative, but we expect to win another Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title and contend in the playoffs. " Rodriguez added that the success of the athletics program, which included a conference title in 20 13, also carries over to the general feel on campus.

"We have a lot of students who are involved in athletics, and the faculty knows what you are doing away from the classroom, and t hey support that."

Do Your Children Owe You Money?

Handling the Issue in Trust

by Joan Grimes, Esq.

BFF - Botox Friends Forever INTRODUCE A FRIEND TO BOTOX Presented by

ALLERGAN and the Only Diamond Office in our area BALFOUR DERMATOLOGY!

Many times an Estate Planning Client comes into the office saying that their children, grandchildren or another person (maybe the gardener) owes them money. Sometimes it is only a few hundred dollars, but other times it is hundreds of thousands of dollars. The loan could have been for a car or down payment on a house or business. Under the best of circumstances, there is an actual promissory note, but most of the time it is just a verbal agreement.

If the loan is not large and you will not need the money in the future, we recommend that you try to cancel the obligation before your death and make any necessary distributions to other beneficiaries to equalize treatment.

If it is not possible or desirable to forgive the debt prior to your death, the debt and disposition of the debt should be specifically addressed in your will or trust. There are 2 specific issues that you need to be aware of with regards to addressing a debt in a will or trust. First, your financial situation may be very different at your time of death than it is today. If you forgive a home loan to your son, which you secured by a Deed of Trust in your \viii, but your son dies before you, what will happen with the loan? Is it your intent that the beneficiaries go after the owner of the property to pay back the loan? Second, what are your intentions if there are not sufficient assets to equalize payments to other beneficiaries based on the loan made to one beneficiary?

Loans to children or other people can be a tricky issue in estate plaru1ing. If it is your intention that any loans be canceled upon your death, you should specifically list the borrower,

the amount and date of the loan in your will. In addition, you should indicate whether any estate or inheritance taxes attributable to this forgiveness of debt shall be paid by the individual or should be a charge against the estate. Another alternative is to specify that the debt is an offset against that person's share of the estate. However, if the debt is large and there are not sufficient assets to equalize a distribution to other beneficiaries or make any other distributions called for under the terms of the will or trust, the question of the balance still due to the estate on the loan should be addressed In conclusion, it is a great thing that parents are able and willing to help their children, grandchildren or other people. However, failure to address assistance given in a will or trust has caused numerous problems among beneficiaries.

It all goes back to "he or she is getting more ...:· In order to avoid this problem, I strongly urge you to review your will or trust and see how any loans or advances are handled If you have questions about your will or trust, I would be happy to review it with you at no charge.

Economy from page 1A "I think [Oakley is] right on track," Councihnember Diane Burgis said after hearing Dahnan's report. "Identifying what we want to be and then creating a plan to become that are great steps."

One way to improve Oakley's business curb appeal is to offer what Dahnan is calling a downtown revitalization loan program. Through this program, loans would be available to downtown businesses to improve their facades to coincide with the new

Volunteer from page 1A comfortable," she said, describing her son as the type of person who would see other students struggling socially and quickly offer his friendship to them.

In college, Castle was a member of the campus Peace Corps club and tirelessly worked as a manager for the Student Union Program Entertainment and Recreation Board, a position that allowed him to contact and meet various celebrities, including Johnny Depp, Ryan Reynolds and Michael Moore.

Before he died, Castle was volunteering in Tongren, a small city in southern China known for its monasteries and a blend of Tibetan customs that mix with the country's larger national identity. Like his peers at UC Berkeley, the students be taught at a local university adored him, and the affection went both ways. Castle shared his experiences in a blog and on social media accounts he maintained during his service.

Behind the success of his volunteerism, however, Castle began suffering from weight loss, and on at least one occasion, a stomach aihnent that prompted him to consult

look of Oakley Plaza. Applicants would be eligible for up to $75,000. Loans would be available on a first come, first serve basis "The goal of this program is to continue the momentum ... to accomplish the overall goal of enhancing the physical appearance of the downtown as well as the economic vitality," said Dahnan, insisting that both businesses and their clientele are more inclined to stay in a well-maintained, pleasant vicinity. "The more attractive the area is, the more vital it is."

Oakley Ace Hardware manager Trey

Ormsby knows first band what the downtown facelift can do for business. The hardware store relocated to Oakley Plaza earlier this year. After months of renovations, the store finally opened its doors last month. ''We're still kind of feeling it out a bit and getting used to the change," he said. "But, as far as a contrast between where we were and this plaza - in terms of the number of customers - it's very good. Overall, it's definitely improving."

Carpaccio Ristorante Italiano Manager

Asblee Schmidt agrees that things are looking up for downtown Oakley. "Business has been going well here," she said. " In fact, it's been picking up in recent weeks."

To read Dalman's complete report, visit www.ci.oakley.ca.us. The Oakley City Council is expected to vote on the implementation of Dahnan's economic proposal and the downtown revitalization loan program during its next meeting in September.

with a Peace Corps doctor. He would later come down with a more violent illness three months later and fall into a coma while attending training in the city of Chengdu at the end of January. He died 10 days later.

When asked about any lessons that have been learned since Castle's death, Peace Corps spokeswoman Shira Kramer directed inquiries to an official response drafted shortly after the New York Times ran its article about Castle in July.

"In the aftermath of a volunteer death or major illness, the agency goes to great lengths to ensure that the emergency response is managed with the utmost sensitivity and respect for both the volunteer and the volunteer's loved ones," the statement reads. "Each case also invites reflection and introspection to determine what we can learn, so we can build a stronger, more effective Peace Corps."

The statement goes on to say that although deaths have been rare since the agency's founding, every loss is personal and that "one death is still one too many."

According to the New York Times investigation, an American medical expert concluded that although the doctor who treated Castle may not have followed protocol, it is

unlikely his death could have been prevented.

Despite the frustrations they have faced in obtaining satisfactory answers, the Castle family firmly insists they stand behind the mission of the Peace Corps.

"I wouldn't discourage anyone from joining," David said. "It's a worthwhile commitment, and it helps the United States to be perceived in a more positive light around the world."

Sue adds a point they both feel is important, though: "These volunteers do some remarkable work .. .I don't think it's much to ask for them to be looked after properly."

The Castles find solace in the accomplishments their son left behind. Specifically, they referred to a touching moment when they saw his obituary in the San Francisco Chronicle last year. Above the story of the fallen volunteer's life was a memoriam for a 90-year old Stanford alumni who had lived a life of accomplishment and passion - accomplishments that were nearly matched by the 23-year old described below. " In 23 years of life, Nick left his mark on so many things," said David. "We miss him terribly every day, we are so proud of what he did."

In addition to his parents, Castle is survived by his three brothers: Chris, Matthew and Joe. To read the report detailing the New York Times' complete investigation, visit http://nyti.ms/llEmVJE. To comment, visit your Hometown Weekly Newspaper online at www. thepress.net.

Lions hope to leap to top of BVAL

by NATE SMITH Correspondent Fans of Liberty High School football are excited about the 2014 season. The Lions return nine full or part-time starters on each side of the ball and will look to build on a 2013 campaign that saw them reach the playoffs for the first time in 10 years and win the Brentwood Bowl for the first time in school history.

After their win over the Patriots catapulted them into the section playoffs, the Lions nearly knocked off perennial section contender James Logan, falling just two inches short of an opportunity to defeat the Colts on the road last November. The Lions have beefed up their non-league schedule this season, attempting to prepare for another grueling run through the Bay Valley Athletic League.

"You try your best to challenge yourselves in those first five games," said second-year head coach Jeff Walters, referring to the more difficult start facing his squad in 2014. "Our league is improving, and we need to be ready for it."

FREEDOM

Reloaded Falcons hope to perch atop BVAL

by JUSTIN LAFFERTY Correspondent Despite losing some athletes such as running back Joe Mixon and receiver Nick Garcia to graduation, the Freedom High Falcons varsity football team is reloaded and ready to compete in the Bay Valley Athletic League.

Head coach Kevin Hartwig loves the team effort he's seeing from the Falcons so far. With solid continuity from last year's squad (which went 6-6, but fell to BVAL rival Pittsburg in the second round of the playoffs), and some talented newcomers, the Falcons are poised for contention.

Returning players: Freedom returns seven starters on offense and six starters on defense, giving Hartwig plenty of reason for optimism.

Quarterback Joe Sweeney will build upon a solid sophomore year, where he passed for 1,718 yards and 13 touchdowns. Sweeney will have familiar hands in tight end James Allen and wideout Scott Sanders, seniors who caught four of those touchdown passes last year.

The Falcons also have talented senior linemen Dominic Fredrickson, Tyler Burton and Arturo Hurtado, who will open up holes for senior running back Stephen Costello.

Defensively. senior Michael Wright will be a

steady force in the secondary.

New players: Freedom ballcarriers will be helped out by the addition of junior lineman Derek Furr.

Running back Sean Pinson, a senior transfer from Lakewood, Colorado ran for 698 yards and seven touchdowns last year as a Lakewood Tiger. He was also the team's second leading receiver with 384 yards.

Junior tight end Gio Fauolo and senior receiver/defensive back Brandon Birk are also expected to contribute.

Overview: Hartwig said the team is confident they can make strides to reclaim the BVAL title the Falcons won in 2012.

ANTIOCH

Panthers primed for bounce-back season

by MICHAEL DIXON Correspondent When Antioch's football team takes the field for the season's first game in two weeks, they'll have a lot of players who have been there before as the Panthers have 28 players returning from the 2013 team.

"We have looked really good this year," said head coach John Lucido. "I'm happy with where we're at right now. It's a very close team. They've had lot of good bonding; they trust each other. I have definitely seen that over the summer, and we're going to need to do that to get to where we want to be."

Returning Players: Perhaps Antioch's biggest advantage is what they can do running the ball.

Senior Michael Gray will be joined by junior Nick Perry and sophomore Najee Harris, who played on the varsity team for most of the 2013 league season.

"We have three or four really good running backs that would be starting on a lot of teams," Lucido said. "It's a good problem to have."

The running backs will be charging behind an offensive line that returns four starters from last year: Michael Fonteno, Jonathan

They'll also be blocking for senior quarterback Harrison Ong. When Ong passes, he'll be targeting more experienced players junior receiver Ryan Payne, senior receiver KJ Wilson and junior tight end Kobie Beltram.

New Players: Abram Karnthong, who is the younger brother of former Antioch quarterback Hunter Karnthong, is expected to see quite a bit of time on the field.

HERITAGE

Patriots look to rediscover winning form

by MICHAEL DIXON Correspondent Heritage High School's varsity football team was undeniably competitive in 2013. Four of its 10 games were one-possession contests, while three more were two-possession games.

Unfortunately for the Patriots, all seven of those games were defeats as the Patriots finished 1-9 on the season.

But many of the key players from the 2013 team return to the gridiron this year with a season of varsity experience, which is often a deciding factor in close games.

"We're definitely improving," said head coach Don Sanders. "We've got a lot more continuity with the offense that we're running.

I'm pretty happy with where we're at right now."

Returning Players: On both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball, Sanders and the rest of the Patriots will rely a lot on three seniors: Leeandre White,Trey Edwards, and Sam Hinn.

White and Edwards play running back and defensive back, while Hinn is a receiver and linebacker. Their jobs on defense will be much easier if a defensive front anchored by junior David Letuligasenoa- who won the defensive linemen MVP award at Oregon's Nike Football Training Camp this summer - can get consistent

PITTSBURG

Pirates aim to return as class of BV.AL

by NATE SMITH

SCHEDULE

Correspondent After winning its third Bay Valley Athletic League title in t he last four years and reaching the North Coast Section semifinals in 2013, Pittsburg High School is setting its sights even higher in 2014.

After an up-and-down 201 3 season ultimately resulted in an undefeated run through league play, Pittsburg fell to Calif ornia in the NCS semifinals. This year, the Pirates will be looking to add some balance to their offense in order to successfully defend their league crown. They will also need to be prepared to start fast out of the gate as head coach Vic Galli has once again put together a daunting non-league schedule.

Returning players: Despite losing standout running back Harris Ross, coach Galli believes that the returning depth at running back could make this position a great strength on the team. Jaylyn Morgan earned all-league status as a junior last season after running for eight touchdowns and averaging over seven yards per carry. He is joined in the backfield rotation by senior Nick Moore, who contributed on both sides of the ball last season.

It is the talent level of the returners at the receiver position and in the defensive secondary

defense from his middle linebacker position.

He racked up 108 tackles to go with 13 tackles for a loss last season in route to a unanimous first-team all-league selection. His posit ion is made easier by a few returners on the defensive line, especially senior defensive end David Lui.

Lions from page 28 multiple injuries led obseNers to take notice of his ability to carry the team's passing attack. His 123 rushing yards and three touchdowns on the ground show that he is also capable in the running game.

The offensive line in front of all those skilled athletes has not been left bare either.

Senior Nathan Sharma is a three-year starter on the offensive line and has moved to left tackle.

Kyle Jordan, a part-time starter last season, returns at center for much-needed cohesion with Tolentino.

New players: For a team with so many returners, there are few question marks being filled with new varsity players. One of those spots is at guard, where junior Brandon Hocter

will look to be the answer after shining on the junior varsity squad last season. The other glaring opening vacated by graduation was at kicker and punter, where junior multi-purpose athlete Stirling Strong will handle the duties after showing that he was capable at the lower level in 20 13.

Though already strong with returning athletes, the veteran corps of receivers and secondary players have been bolstered with seniors Willie Williams and Anthony Leslie. The returning group of linebackers also got a shot in the arm from two transfers and a senior who has returned for his final season. Jesse Gregerson, who focused solely on wrestling last season, returns for his senior year at linebacker, where he was among the best on the team

in his junior varsity campaign. Ravin Nasilai (Monte Vista) and Christian Perez (San Leandro) add needed depth at the position.

Overview: Liberty looks to be extremely battle-tested by the time league play starts, so its big challenge will be opening the season at full speed and staying healthy with an abundance of key two-way players throughout the lineup. The Lions have not won three league games since 2005, so t hat is another major stepping stone that the team hopes to clear this season. Coach Walters feels that his team will find out quickly how much work they need to do in order to be a major contender in the 2014 campaign.

"Central will really let us know where we are at," said Walters, referring to his team's

season-opener in Fresno. "Can we deal with the distractions of a long road t rip combined with a hostile game against a well-known opponent? We get to learn these things early."

Future: Despite winning just two games on the freshmen level last season, the coaching staff is excited to see how the JV team has progressed in the system. Matt Marchetti will be the one making plays at quarterback, while Christian Liscano returns at running back after learning on the junior varsity as a freshman last season. Trey Hawkins is a threat at receiver while Ryan Vanderwerf looks like a much improved player on both lines. Keegan Federwisch also has the potential to be a leader among the group.

Falcons from page 38 are the two members of that team remaining on this year's squad. " I'm excited," Hartwig said. "It's the first time we've had a good team atmosphere in a while. We're not relying on one guy. We've just got a great solid team."

Freedom faces tough competition in traditional BVAL powers Pittsburg and Deer Valley, who were the two league losses for the Falcons last year. The team has a home field-friendly schedule with six straight games in Oakley.

Game to watch: Oct. 31 vs. Pittsburg Future: JV head coach Don Burke is excited about the JV squad - most of whom were on last year's 9-1 freshman team- he'll lead this season,.

Running backs Milan Johnson and Khyree Foster will set the tone in the backfield, and Burke likes what he sees from quarterbacks Dominic Mather and Jonathan Pierce.

Linemen Avery Waddell and Marcellas Fejerang will do the dirty work up front for the JV Falcons. Burke is also excited about linebackers Kevin Lonergan and Jason Ternez.

Panthers from page 48 the road, and they won't play a home game until their fifth game of t he season - against Liberty- at Los Medanos College in Pittsburg.

Last year's squad struggled but managed to stay competitive in tough match ups against Freedom and Pittsburg. The squad hopes another year of experience will help it take a step forward in 2014.

Game to watch: Oct. 10 at Freedom.

The Panthers rivalry games are against Deer Valley and Pittsburg, but no game will tell the squad where its stands more than the first game of the BVAL season against Freedom.

"The first game in league is where we measure where we're at, " Lucido said. "In the preseason, we have some tough teams, but in that first league game, we getto know where we stand."

Future: Much of the future will be on display during the season. The 2013 varsity squad had four sophomores and one f reshman. While plenty of seniors will take the field in 2014, the 2015 team will not be young and inexperienced. A lot of Antioch's future will be represented by sophomore running back Najee Harris. His graduation date is a long way out, but he has already received offers from a handful of Division I schools.

DEER VALLEY

New-look Wolverines aim to surprise

by KYLE SZYMANSKI Staff Writer Fresh off a run to the North Coast Section semifinals, Deer Valley is looking to reload in 2014 after the graduation of 29 of its players.

Gone are MVP quarterback Nsimba Webster and six other first-team players who guided the Wolverines to an 11-2 record, but head coach Rich Woods doesn't expect his newlook squad to struggle this year.

"We are going to have to simplify some things a bit," Woods said. "We have a young group that doesn't have a lot of experience, but they are athletic and they work hard."

Returning players: Seniors lineman Antwon Evans (30 tackles in 12 games) and receiver and defensive back Anthony Hamilton, who played in only three games last season, will anchor the defense as well as provide leadership as two of only a handful of returning players who saw significant playing time last year. Junior lineman Troy DeCuir on the defensive line, and Jonathan Farmer in the secondary. are also expected to contribute, Woods said.

New players: Senior Jahlil King, who garnered some attention for his athleticism at a recent Nike camp, and last year's junior varsity quarterback Devin Gould are locked in a battle to replace the explosive Webster at quarterback.

Junior linebacker and full back Brandon Faatalale and defensive lineman Javoni Tuitasi have firmly established themselves on the varsity squad after being brought up from the junior varsity squad toward the end of last season.

Overview: Replacing Webster at quarterback, who passed for 2,026 yards and 22 touchdowns and rushed for another 1,544 yards, will be nearly impossible, but Woods feels the big and fast squad is developing nicely. On paper, losing 29 players, including 12 all-league selections, makes the Wolverines look more vulnerable than in recent years. A nonleague schedule that includes Elsie Allen (1-9 in 20 13) and Oakland Tech (4-7 last year and Santa Rosa (2-8 in 2013) will allow the Wolverines to ease into league play.

The Wolverines will compete in an elite scrimmage against powerhouses De La Salle, Logan and Pittsburg, which will serve as a good test before the season begins.

"The kids have worked hard and are in good shape," Woods said. "Now we just need to hone their skills."

Game to watch: Oct. 10 against Pittsburg. The Wolverines will open league play against arguably their best competition of the season.

Deer Valley's performance will set the tone for the remainder of league play.

Future: The need to replace 29 players on the varsity squad means a great deal of Deer Valley's starters will be juniors, Woods said.

Regardless of how this year plays out for the teal and black, Deer Valley is setto be an elite squad next year.

Patriots from page ss joined San Ramon Valley in playing the toughest schedule in the North Coast Section last year.

Whether the Patriots return to the NCS playoffs for the first time since 2011 or not remainsto be seen. But heading into the season, Sanders likes what he's seen from this

Pi rates from page 6s Junior Saia Fonongaloa returns at the opposite defensive end position, with Harland Tautalatasi back for his senior year at defensive tackle.

Keith Walker also returns for his senior season at quarterback, though it may feel like his first season after missing all but parts of two games last year with a broken collarbone. Galli says Walker has the ability to be one of the best quarterbacks he has ever had at Pittsburg. He will have to hold off a challenge, though, from junior Christian Young, who got a glimpse of varsity action last season and is described as being right on Walker's heels in a very

year's group over the last several weeks, which makes him optimistic about the upcoming season.

"This year's group has impressed me with their hard work and everything that they have done this summer," Sanders said. "Between that work and the coaching staff this year, I'm

expecting good things."

Game to watch: Oct. 10 at Liberty The BVAL routinely sends at least three teams to the North Coast Section playoffs, so no breaks are expected. The Lions defeated the Patriots for the first time last year, and Heritage is eager to get the Brentwood Bowl back on its

side of town.

Future: The junior varsity team finished 7-2-1 in 2013, while the freshman team was 7-3. By the time most of those players are upperclassmen and on the varsity team in the fall of 2015, they will have a lot of experience winning games.

supportive and friendly competition at a critical position.

New players: Freedom transfer Isaiah Johnson, junior Jordan Parker and junior CJ McClure have all been described as special new additions to the Pirates, especially on the defensive side of the ball. All three are competing for starting spots in the defensive secondary, a position that Galli describes as a true strength of the team.

"We could have as many as five Division I guys playing in our secondary," said Galli. "We will be a lot better defensively this year. Where we really will have some new faces to step up,

though, will be on our offensive line, and we're still waiting to see which guys will emerge."

With Fonongaloa as the lone returner on the offensive line, it will be one of the youngest Pittsburg lines in recent history. Galli feels confident in their ability to put a good, competitive unit on the field, but still needs to see which candidates will take a spot.

Game to watch: Sept. 26 at Archbishop Mitty The battle with the Monarchs will arguably be the Pirates' biggest test of the season and will take place one week before the start of league play.

Overview: The Pirates open with a rematch at California, where they will be looking to atone for last year's semifinal loss. If Walker and his group of receivers can emerge as legitimate threats offensively, Pittsburg will be able to keep defenses off-balance, something they were not able to do last season.

The Pirates' non-league schedule will test them defensively in a variety of ways. If their returning experience on defense can let their offensive line get their feet under them early in the season, they once again have the talent to become a dominant program down the stretch and make a run for back-to-back league titles.
