Explore the Horizons of your Life!

A flexible retirement tool, puts you in charge of your cash flow. East County is a picturesque, welcoming, lively region located in Contra Costa County, with Mt. Diablo on one side, and the Sacramento San Joaquin Delta on the other. You could not ask for a more idyllic setting. It is full of life, laughter and fun. The city started as a small farming community where everyone knew each other – there was one school and the Corn Festival was the big annual event enjoyed by all. It has grown into a bustling city with everything a person could want within close proximity. One of the things I love most about the area, is that there is always something to do. Activities abound, every day, every week, every month. From crab feeds and hiphop concerts, to art and wine festivals and 5K runs, to winetasting and outdoor movies, to great shopping and wonderful restaurants. And, of course, there are still famous festivals aplenty, from the Delta Blues Festival, to Hot Rods for Paws, the Asparagus Festival, and more craft beer festivals than you can count. East County is known for their festivals and they draw crowds from all around the Bay Area. We are so glad you are considering making our beautiful area your new home. I would like to introduce

myself and my team. My name is Beth Miller-Rowe, and I am your local reverse mortgage lender. I live and work in our local communities. I stay local because I think a reverse mortgage transaction requires face to face interaction. It is a complex product with many nuances. I need to see you, talk to you eye-toeye, to be sure you understand each of those nuances and how they may impact you. I can only do that if I stay local. The first step is education. With me, that takes place in the comfort of your home. No call center, no Fed Ex, no high-pressure sales tactics. I will explain what a reverse mortgage can do and what it cannot do for you. I will explain the program, the process, the costs, as well Beth Miller-Rowe BRANCH NMLS: 294774 DRE: 00950759/01215943 as what you can expect now and what your heirs can expect BRANCH MANAGER AND when the time comes.

Reverse mortgages are loans offered to homeowners who are 62 or older who have equity in their homes. The loan programs allow borrowers to defer payment on the loans until they pass away, sell the home, or move out. Homeowners, however, remain responsible for the payment of taxes, insurance, maintenance, and other items. Nonpayment of these items can lead to a default under the loan terms and ultimate loss of the home. FHA insured reverse mortgages have an up front and ongoing cost; ask your loan officer for details. These materials are not from, nor approved by HUD, FHA, or any governing agency.

HISTORY Davis Auto Camp and Davis Camp children, circa 1935.

Frank said he couldn’t recall anyone ever going hungry. Without electricity, there was no radio for entertainment, so children found ways to entertain themselves when they weren’t working in the fields. A boxing ring was erected in camp, and mile-long foot races along the sycamore-lined road from the camp to downtown Brentwood were common. Children cared for pets and played along the banks of Marsh Creek, which, in the days before flood control tamed it, flooded annually. Davis Camp served as an intermediary step for many families. Factories in the area provided steady work and a good paycheck, allowing former camp residents to purchase homes. The outbreak of World War II broadened those opportunities even further. “As that story progresses, you’ll find that these guys improved themselves,” said Frank, who lived at the camp for seven years. “They would move out of Davis Camp, get a home somewhere around here and live in it. They would live their whole life, raise their families here and prosper here.” Davis Camp remained occupied, at least in part, until 2007, when the city purchased the property. Residents were given relocation assistance because the homes had become unsafe, and they were demolished. The same fate awaits the Davis Log Cabin Grocery. “The city owns the store now,” said Hiwanah. “Pretty soon they’ll tear it down. We don’t know what they’re going to put up there eventually, but we would like to have a historical marker on that site. The people that come after our generation is gone will have no idea what went on there.” W

and Arkansas — fled the Dust Bowl in search of the promise of work in California. A story published by The Press in 2009 said by 1934, more than 1,000 people were living at Davis Camp. Many people — like Brentwood resident Sharon Ellingson’s family who also arrived from Oklahoma — lived in canvas tents with wooden floors when they arrived at Davis Camp. “If you read ‘The Grapes of Wrath,’ that’s it,” said Ellingson. “The camp (Frank’s) uncle founded was just like the camp in that book. He had a little store, a bath house, a place to do your laundry. Everything was right there.” As Cal got established in Brentwood, he urged family members still in Oklahoma to move west. Frank’s parents answered that call, and with their 13 children in tow, they began their migration to California. “My mother and I got to go on this flatbed truck with a canvas over that back section and a bed up in there,” he explained. “Me and my mother traveled in that bed from Oklahoma to California on the plank roads over the sandy soil. That’s the way we traveled out here. We arrived in this place right down here, near the creek, in 1936. I was nine days old. My story begins right there.” Work is what drew families to Brentwood, and work is what they found. “The farmers around town would come to Davis Camp and say, ‘I need 20 workers,’ or whatever, to pick or plow for that farmer,” said Ellingson. “That’s how they got their work. “ Farmers often sent workers home with a share of the bounty they picked. While money was never plentiful,

WELCOME! 2022

Sitting largely unnoticed alongside Brentwood Boulevard is a nondescript building, boarded up and falling into disrepair, with little left to indicate the central role it played in the lives of many families who moved to Brentwood during the early part of the last century. Descendants of families who passed through those doors and shopped in what was once a grocery store and gas station are still common in East County. One man, Frank Davis, is the nephew of O.R. “Cal” Davis, who built that general store and camp that grew up around it: Davis Camp. “Cal Davis came on out to California because we were all starving to death in Oklahoma,” said Frank Davis. “The Depression hit. They were losing their farms left and right. So, Cal and his brothers and two sisters came to California ... They could find work in the fruit fields. That’s what brought us out here.“ Davis Camp was situated along Marsh Creek, on the southeast corner of Brentwood Boulevard and Sunset Road. In the days before the Highway 4 bypass was built, Brentwood Boulevard was Highway 4, and the paths of it and Sunset Road have been moved in the years since the camp got its start. When Cal Davis arrived in the late 1920s, the property was used as a dump. Frank Davis explained that Cal Davis cut a deal with Contra Costa County to take over the property in exchange for cleaning the area. Using scrap materials, Cal Davis began building the Davis Log Cabin Grocery, small cabins and other facilities at the camp. The population quickly grew as farmers from the Great Plains — primarily Oklahoma, Texas

Davis Camp – a piece of East County history

HISTORY

Bettencourt Family in the Vasco Hills.

East County’s storied past More than 1,000 years ago, Native Americans called the East County area home. The Bay Miwok and Yokut Indians preceded Spanish explorer Pedro Fages, who in 1772, led the first European parties through the area. More than a century passed before European settlers arrived to put down roots.

ANTIOCH

On Sept. 16, 1850, the first settlers arrived at the foot of what is now F Street in Antioch. The town was named after the ancient, biblical city in Syria. The town incorporated in February 1872, with a population of only 600. The year 1876 saw the introduction of a narrow-gauge railway between Antioch and the mining town of Stewartsville 6 miles to the south, at the site of today’s Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve. In 1851, Antioch got its first school, provided by a ship owner who donated the galley of his beached vessel to serve as the building. Some of Antioch’s early businesses included brick kilns, coal mining, a copper smelter, several potteries and a distillery. By the early 1900s, Antioch was

only about 700 residents strong, but the population began to skyrocket in the 1920s with the construction of the Antioch Bridge and Fulton Shipyards. During World War II, 27 vessels were built in Antioch for the U.S. Navy. By 1970, Antioch had grown to 28,500 residents. Built on inexpensive land, residential development further increased the citizenry to an estimated 47,000 by the mid-1980s. Today, the population tops 115,200. BRENTWOOD One of the first pioneers to settle in the Brentwood area was a doctor named John Marsh. He built a stately mansion out of stone, which still stands today on Marsh Creek Road. Marsh was murdered in 1856 before he ever moved into the house. The name Brentwood is believed to have come from the Marsh family’s hometown of Brentwood, England. City development was hastened by the discovery of coal in the Mount Diablo foothills. By 1874, the first structures were popping up on Oak Street. Fertile soils and the coming of the railroad in 1890 helped make the area the largest shipping point

for grain between New Orleans and San Francisco. The English land speculation company Balfour Guthrie installed a vast irrigation system that improved land values, allowing farmers to grow row crops and fruit trees and firmly establish the town’s agricultural core. Brentwood incorporated as a city in 1948. It remained a small agricultural community until the last decade of the century, when its proximity to the financial centers of the Bay Area and its relatively affordable housing triggered rapid growth. The population grew nearly five times from 1990 to today’s 66,000-plus, bringing a suburban lifestyle and the related influx of goods and services to the formerly rural area. Efforts to preserve its agricultural heritage continues today. OAKLEY The discovery of Native American artifacts in Big Break clearly establishes Oakley as a site of that earlier culture. The first evidence of European settlers in the city can be traced to Randolph C. Marsh, one of its first landowners (no relation to pioneer Dr. John Marsh).

HISTORY

Delta Theater, circa 1938–1939.

WELCOME! 2022

www.eastcountywelcomeguide.net

The historic Delta Theater is currently being renovated and expected to reopen in fall of 2022.

In 1897, Marsh arrived and foresaw that the area could produce successful crops. He purchased 12 acres of land, plotted the town and named the first five streets Main, Acme, Ruby, Star and Home, spelling MARSH with the initials of each street name. Nicknamed “sandlappers” by critics who said crops would never grow in the sandy soil, the early settlers proved otherwise, turning Oakley into a bountiful source of fresh fruits and vegetables. In the 1930s, Oakley’s Main Street was dotted with packing sheds, and agriculture was shipped via the railroad throughout the nation. Oakley became a city in 1999. DISCOVERY BAY Discovery Bay is a unique community in Contra Costa County. The idea was born in 1970, when the Veronica Development Company envisioned a water-oriented community where you could “live where you play,” which became the town’s motto. Those who put their faith in the project haven’t been sorry. Lots they

purchased for $15,000 have sold in recent years for 10 to 15 times that amount. Developer Ken Hofmann opened sales in 1978, and buyers slept in the streets in order to get the lot of their choice. In 1984, Discovery Bay unveiled its crown jewel: an 18-hole championship golf course. The final bays of the original Discovery Bay development opened in 1988. In 1997, Discovery Bay became a community services district, assuming oversight of most of its own activities beyond land-use decisions and emergency services. Land-use regulations and police services are overseen by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, while fire service is provided by the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District. The expansion of the community, Discovery Bay West, began in 2000, at which time the official name of the community became The Town of Discovery Bay. In 2007, Discovery Bay was granted its own ZIP code, 94505, as its population grew past 14,000.

BETHEL ISLAND In 1860, a Mr. Stone reclaimed the land known as Bethel Island under the Swamp and Over Flowed Act of 1855. It was named Stone Tract. Ten years later, he sold the land to Maj. William K. Bethel, who used it to grow feed for the dairy herd on the island. Though it was officially named in 1898, Bethel Island actually became an island in the 1890s when surrounding sloughs were dredged. The Bethel Island Bridge, a onelane wooden plank structure, was built in 1918. During this same time, the island was farmed by William J. Hotchkiss who purchased 1,317 acres to grow potatoes, beans and sugar beets. During the 1920s and ’30s, Bethel Island became known as a fishing paradise and haven for hunters. Harbors were built along the island’s waterfront, and recreation flourished. Electricity was first brought to the island in 1946. In 2010, a new Bethel Island bridge replaced the aging wooden structure that provided the only access to the island.

BYRON

KNIGHTSEN Knightsen was founded in 1898, when the Sante Fe Railroad made its preliminary survey through the area.

HISTORY

The town of Byron was founded in 1878, when the San Pablo and Tulare Railroad Company built a track connecting Contra Costa and San Joaquin counties, though settlers had been in the area for many years. After finding no luck in the Sierra Nevada gold mines, German immigrant Henry Wilkening built a house on land he purchased near a planned railroad station. He became Byron’s first postmaster and built the town’s first hotel, saloon and livery stable. In the 1860s, R.O. Risdon discovered the Byron Hot Springs. His nephew, Lewis Risdon Mead, discovered more than 50 springs, ranging in temperature from 52 to 140 degrees. Mead developed the now-idle Byron Hot Springs, popular with the rich and famous in the 1920s and ’30s. In 1938, the resort was closed and sold to the government, which used it as a prisoner of war interrogation center during World War II. The property remains unoccupied.

Rolando Inn, corner of Oak and First Street, 1940s.

George W. Knight, a native of Maine, purchased 110 acres of land from Lazarus Barkley, acreage that eventually became the town of Knightsen. The name Knightsen was derived from Knight’s last name and the last three letters of his wife’s maiden name, Christensen. Dairies were established in the early 1900s. In the 1920s, the Knightsen Irrigation District brought water to the fields, allowing farmers to plant a wide variety of crops.

The Knightsen Farm Bureau was established in 1918, and the Farm Bureau Center is still a community gathering place. Recently, Knightsen received official historical designation for several of its downtown buildings. Historical information was compiled from “Footprints in the Sand,” by Kathy Leighton, the East Contra Costa Historical Society, the Antioch Chamber of Commerce and the Antioch Historical Society. W

CITY OF ANTIOCH

A big city sprinkled with small-town charm ANTIOCH — Antioch, one of the state’s oldest cities with origins dating to 1850, has developed into a modern-day population and development hub. The once small town’s population has shot up from 5,000 in 1940 to 115,000 today, becoming the third-largest city in Contra Costa County, offering an array of attractive affordable homes and business opportunities. What started as a quaint locale is now a cityscape with thousands of businesses thriving in the community, which offers all the amenities of modern life accompanied by nature’s pristine graces. Nestled amid housing developments, shopping centers and office parks, 16

untouched nature emerges at Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve, Contra Loma Regional Park and along the vast banks of the San Joaquin River as it spills into the California Delta. Not far in every direction, activity springs to life in a variety of sports and leisure activities within the city’s various parks. Other popular visitor attractions include the Dow Wetlands Preserve, the Antioch Dunes National Wildlife Refuge, the Lone Tree Golf Course, Lynn House Art Gallery and the Antioch Historical Society Museum. As summer temperatures climb, the annual Contra Costa County Fair pitches its tents at the Contra Costa Event Park,

and the city’s water park splashes to life just steps from the 35,000-square-foot community center. Visitors and residents looking to turn back the clock can stroll through the historic Rivertown District, which features quaint shops cuddled up to the San Joaquin River. The area is also home to the community’s long-standing entertainment destination, El Campanil Theatre, which was built in 1928 as a vaudeville theater. It saw several owners over the years, fell into disrepair and closed before major renovations in 2004 breathed new life into the building, making it the community hub for performing arts once again.

“Love Conquers All” mural created in Antioch This is a portion of the “Love Conquers All” mural Hermain Ambriz created in Antioch.

CITY OF ANTIOCH

The last two years have been riddled with tension, conflict, and anxiety. Despite the ongoing challenges that the citizens of Contra Costa County — and particularly Antioch residents — have had to face, there is still love and hope in the community. This is displayed in the “Love Conquers All” mural created by Hermain Ambriz. In the development of the mural’s theme, Ambriz discussed the impact of community and love in his life. “The inspiration came from motherly love,” he recalled. “It all came from how wherever I was at in my life, I’ve always remembered whether it was my mother or grandmother, I was raised by the strongest women.” Committed to bringing this mural to life, Ambriz brought his own brother, Josue Ambriz, to help finish the mural downtown just off Main Street. “We’re talking 215 feet and it ended up being 1,700 square feet of wall,” Ambriz said. “Me and my brother, Josue Ambriz, he came and helped me out. It took us six days to actually complete the wall 100%.” Ambriz said his art is never

something out of a book. The mural, and any other artwork that he did, were done as an expression from his soul. Ambriz’s passion for his art, along with the opportunity to work with his family on the project, resulted in an art piece that reflected the familial and artistic love visible in much of the Antioch community.

“An art teacher once told me, ‘Conformity destroys creativity,’” Ambriz said regarding art in the community and the ways in which he felt it needed to be seen. “He told me that in our life, we are always in conformity. With art, we just need to break down those barriers and let kids create and let them speak. We just have to listen to them.” W

CITY OF BRENTWOOD

A growing city with small-town roots BRENTWOOD — The City of Brentwood, with its deep agricultural roots, has blossomed into a growing community. The town’s population, which hovered around 23,000 in 2000, has grown to over 66,000. Even in its growth, many longtime residents say Brentwood hasn’t lost its small-town charm. Efforts to preserve the legacy of agriculture continue. The area boasts more than 40 local growers of farm-fresh produce sold directly to consumers. As the past is preserved, city leaders 20

are also hoping to create a prosperous future for the city. Plans are in the works for nearly 400 acres of job-oriented development along the Highway 4 Bypass between Old Sand Creek Road and Lone Tree Way. According to city documents, the plan “weaves the existing streets of Brentwood seamlessly through the site connecting future employers and employees with established shops, grocery stores, schools, theaters, newly built homes, access to parks and trail systems. Access to the site is supported by two freeway exits and a future eBart station. Parcel sizes are flexible,

and aimed to accommodate employer preferences.” While the future is unfolding, the city already has a lot to offer. Brentwood’s downtown features a year-round schedule of events for both residents and visitors, including concerts and movies in the park, a Saturday morning farmers market, Fourth of July parade, Hometown Halloween and a holiday parade. The downtown area is also the site of a city attraction, the Big Red Chair in City Park, which is complemented by an inviting Mayor Robert “Bob” Taylor City Park Gazebo and City Park Clock. W

CITY OF BRENTWOOD

The future of Brentwood The city of Brentwood has zoned over 200 acres for a mixeduse employment center designed to create a nextgeneration workplace community that prioritizes quality of life for employees.

It’s a development project that is being viewed as an excellent business opportunity for growth and the creation of jobs in Brentwood and the surrounding communities. City officials hope that this longawaited project will soon become a reality. The proposed Innovation Center at Brentwood is a 400-acre mixeduse project located along Highway 4, south of Lone Tree Way and north of Sand Creek Road, intended to attract development for a “next-generation” business park. According to plan analysis details, the project is expected to attract 8,383 employees and will also include the integration of 2,000 new housing units, local street and transportation improvements and a planned BART station in the area. “The Innovation Center is going to be the core mechanism to attract high-paying, corporate, tech, medical and other quality jobs and industries to Brentwood,” said Brentwood Mayor Joel Bryant. “It is designed to keep many of our residents working in our community in order to improve their

Image courtesy of city of Brentwood

quality of life.” The project has been on the drawing board for over two decades, when the Innovation Center at Brentwood was known as “Special Planning Area P” in the City of Brentwood’s 2001 General Plan. The location was already designated as a major employment area, providing land for regional commercial and professional office use, manufacturing and complementary integrated housing. Today Brentwood’s labor force has grown to three times the countywide growth rate, and the labor pool within a 20-minute drive of the area includes

over 167,000 people, statistics show. “The City of Brentwood has always had an eye on generating jobs close to home,” said Senior Analyst of Economic Development Joshua Ewen. “The Innovation Center, and its encompassing land area of 360 acres, will be built over time and as market conditions are ripe for various types of development. The City of Brentwood’s interest in developing a next-generation office and technology park by collaborating with the property owners, developers and businesses is a bold vision for the future of the community.” W – By Sean Tongson

CITY OF OAKLEY

A place for families OAKLEY — An area rich with history, the City of Oakley is a growing community situated beside the Delta’s flowing waters. Its first residents were the Miwok Indians, whose remains and artifacts from their daily lives have been found near Big Break Marina and Village Parkway. Randolph Marsh is credited for establishing Oakley as a town in 1897, after purchasing 12 acres. According to legend, Marsh and another settler couldn’t agree upon a name at the time, so they settled it with a cribbage game. Marsh’s idea to name the area Oakley — after its once-abundant trees — won when the game ended in his favor. 24

Since that time, Oakley has grown into a bustling city with a current population of over 43,000. Residents can find a variety of restaurants, parks, community events and more in what’s commonly referred to as a place for families. But business development is picking up steam. Amazon was the first tenant to occupy a portion of an eventual fivebuilding site — with almost 2 million square feet of space — that broke ground in January of 2020 for a variety of light industrial and logistics uses on a portion of the 375.7-acre property at 6,000 Bridgehead Road, north of the BNSF rail tracks and just south of Lauritzen

Yacht Harbor. Three of the five buildings are currently constructed, with all five buildings ranging between 150,000 and 480,000 square feet. The campus should be completed in late 2023. While the town sallies forth with development, much of the area remains true to its roots. Drivers passing through its country land can still find horseback riders traveling alongside the road, and Cypress Stables caters to the equine crowd. Dwelley Farms boasts a wide variety of fruits and vegetables grown locally along Delta Road. And Big Break Marina offers families a chance to get outdoors, while learning about wildlife and local geology in the heart of the Delta. W

Waterfront fun BETHEL ISLAND — Life on Bethel Island is comprised of a variety of residents who embrace the abundance of yearly waterfront events, including the Frozen Bun Run, ’50s Bash, Holiday Lighted Boat Parade and Opening Day on the Delta Boat Parade. The highly anticipated Delta Coves development, featuring waterfront homes with private docks, kicked off a grand opening in September 2019. In the water, the Delta’s long-standing abundance of black bass, striped bass,

catfish, crappie, perch, bullhead and sturgeon lure fishermen on a national scale. Boaters can also find fun times and friendships with the San Joaquin Yacht Club. The Bethel Island Municipal Advisory Council, established in the mid-1990s, is the voice of the residents on island and regional issues. The Bethel Island Municipal Improvement District (BIMID) provides levee maintenance and repair, and the Ironhouse Sanitary District (ISD) handles the island’s sewer services. W 25

A charming little town BYRON — One of East County’s smallest communities, the unincorporated farming Town of Byron, may be home to just over 1,300 residents, but it boasts plenty of charm. Byron is governed by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors. The Byron Municipal Advisory Council (BMAC) — composed of local residents — advises the supervisors on local land-use, planning and zoning issues and represents Byron on the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) regarding annexation and boundary issues. Another area agency, Reclamation District 800, is responsible for the maintenance and operation of levees in and around the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Reclamation District 800’s fivemember board of directors, elected by local landowners, governs the district. The Byron-Bethany Irrigation District manages Byron’s irrigation water. In 2010, the district completed work on a $3 million upgrade to the facility — the district’s first face-lift since it was built in 1958. Police services for Byron are provided

by the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff and the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District provides fire and emergency services. Tucked away in a corner of Bryon is one of the community’s best-kept secrets — the Patriots Jet Team (PJT) and Foundation. Located in a hangar in the Byron airport complex, PJT is made up of six pilots and a dedicated support crew from diverse aviation backgrounds. These men and women volunteer their time and knowledge to inspire a love of flight in local kids. Byron is also home to the famous Byron Hot Springs. Its hotel, built in the late 1800s, reached its peak of popularity in the 1930s and was a destination for some of Hollywood’s brightest stars, including Clark Gable, who was known to enjoy the springs’ healing waters, mud baths and luxurious accommodations. While the skeleton of the hotel still sits in ruins, plans to restore the structure are being visited by developer Robert Cort, who submitted a preapplication review to county officials that proposes turning the inn into a brewery or winery and event center.

Old-town charm preserved KNIGHTSEN — In a town where the number of humans and horses is nearly equal, Knightsen prides itself on maintaining its rural, agricultural heritage. While neighboring towns have fallen to track-home developments and ballooned in size over recent years, Knightsen has remained small and full of rural charm. Once a railroad station, the town was established in 1898 and named for its founder, George W. Knight, and his wife, Christina Christensen, whose names together formed Knightsen. The 4-H club later founded in 1927 is California’s oldest 4-H chapter. For a town with a long legacy, not

much has changed. Ranchettes dot the 14 square miles of land, which is also home to farms, produce stands, boarding facilities and a one-block downtown area with a few shops and a post office. Another change for the sleepy town was in the educational realm. Old River Elementary School opened in the fall of 2016 for kindergarten through sixth-grade students, making it the second school in the Knightsen Elementary School District. However, it’s the things that haven’t changed, such as the Christmas parade (with a host of hooved participants) or the Knightsen Days car and tractor show, that keep Knightsen a living, breathing document of a more genial time.

There are a lot of myths that swirl around the reverse mortgage program. Initially we will answer all those questions. You, no doubt, have a friend of a friend, who has an aunt, whose nephew in-law said that reverse mortgages are bad. No one is really quite sure why they are bad, but they think it has to do with somehow losing your home or having no equity left in the end. To be clear, as long as you pay your property taxes, homeowners insurance, live in the home, maintain the home and pay your association dues, if applicable, then no one can ever, ever, make you leave your home. Even if you live to be 115 years old, no one can make you leave your home as long as you do those 5 things. As a side note, all of these ‘things’ are requirements of a traditional “forward” mortgage as well. In 2017, HUD revamped the FHA insured reverse mortgage. With the new math behind reverse mortgages today, it is virtually impossible to use all your equity. You may very well be able to utilize a reverse mortgage to better enjoy your retirement years, as well as leave a legacy to your loved ones. I feel that one of the most important aspects of our faceto-face meeting is for us to spend time together talking about your goals, your hopes and dreams – what you

expect a reverse mortgage will accomplish for you. There are so many different ways people utilize a reverse mortgage. Each person is unique, and their goals and expectations are also unique. For some, it might be help with monthly bills, or perhaps provide a safety net for the larger unexpected expenditures. For others, it may pay for travel, replacing an old car, or remodeling your home. Some use it as a financial management tool. They may use a reverse mortgage standby line of credit to hedge the markets, so they are not forced to take money out at a bad time. Another financial management aspect is that reverse mortgage proceeds are tax-fee. You may decide to utilize the tax-free reverse mortgage funds instead of using other taxable retirement assets. Another great idea is to replace your current Home Equity Line of Credit with a Reverse Mortgage Line of Credit (RMLOC). There is no payment required on the RMLOC, but you can make payments if you want to do so. Also, your FHA insured RMLOC can never be reduced, frozen, or closed by the bank, no matter what happens to the value of your home. It gives you peace of mind, flexibility and security. And the best part is that the amount available to you grows larger over time. Because the Reverse Mortgage Line of Credit grows

larger over time, I have had several clients utilize it as a type of Long-Term Care insurance. Depending on the balance of your current mortgage, you may start off with a line of credit of, say, $300,000, and in 10 years you now have $475,000.

Whatever your goals are, this is a big decision. One that deserves the respect of time, conversation, exchanging questions and answers and interacting together, face-toface. If you would like to sit down and chat, give me a call. Welcome to East County!

Discovering the Delta with Captain Morgan’s

New to the Delta? Out of Town Guests? Planning a Special Party or Event?

ruise away on the Rosemarie, a 55-foot newly remodeled houseboat equipped to whisk patrons away for unique Delta adventures. You can either book the Rosemarie for private cruises and parties with up to 35 guests, or simply buy a couple of tickets to one of the many publicly-planned adventures posted on the website. Captain Morgan’s Delta Adventures can work with you to create your own memorable event, whether it’s a cruise to one of the Delta’s waterfront restaurants or a sunset dinner cruise on the Rosemarie.

Break away from a mundane house party and host a birthday, anniversary or engagement party while exploring the waters around Discovery Bay. Or get out of the office and throw a company party while enjoying the scenery and wildlife - both the two and fourlegged kind - that are found in and around the Delta. Cruises can be as simple as exploring the various bays of Discovery Bay, or setting course up Old River where the Orwood Railroad Bridge is open for the Rosemarie to pass under it. Public cruises include trips to Orwood Resort for brunch,

to the Sugar Barge Restaurant for lunch, and sunset dinner cruises with a buffet on board the Rosemarie. Special event cruises include Discovery Bay Opening Day in early April, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, fiesta lunch cruises, and the ever-popular Fourth of July trip to Mandeville Island for dinner and the Hilton fireworks. And of course, after Thanksgiving, the Discovery Bay Lighted Boat Parade is not to be missed as well as the regular evening cruises in and out of the bays of Discovery Bay, which are always popular and a great way to see the decorated

PARKS tons of coal – or black diamonds – were mined from Mount Diablo and mining town residents came from all over the world. Rising production costs and new energy sources eventually closed the coal mines in the early 1900s, but new inspiration was found in sand mining in the 1920s. A site between two of the deserted mining towns began supplying glass for the Hazel-Atlas Glass Company in Oakland, and a second mine provided Columbia Steel Works with casting sand. When the sand mines closed in 1949, more than 1.8 trillion tons of sand had been mined. Now, the parks district welcomes visitors to the Greathouse Visitor Center, built underground inside the HazelAtlas sand mine. “The visitor center is a great hollow room they made as they pulled sand out to make the silica glass,” Damstra said. “It’s something to see in and of itself. We have exhibits that focus on the sand mining history, the process of taking that sand and making it into glass – which happened in Oakland – and the coal mining history that happened before the sand mining.” Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve is at 5175 Somersville Road, in Antioch. For park hours, parking fees and more information, call 510-5442750 or visit https://www.ebparks.org/ parks/black-diamond. The Greathouse Visitor Center is open March through November on the weekends from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. To schedule a group tour, visit apply. ebparks.org. W – By Dawnmarie Fehr

some (beautiful) landscape,” said Erickson. “While there are not a lot of trees, the terrain varies in steepness and it feels so vast and remote. If one is interested in native California plants, there’s plenty to see.” Tom Lyster, another East County resident, said the tour in the mines is worth the trip. “I had no idea that the mines even existed, and it was a huge eye opener to see the bores throughout the foothills,” Lyster said. “It’s definitely a ‘must see.’” Damstra enjoys working outdoors, sharing his passion with the park’s visitors. He said the land’s geology sets it apart from the rest of East County, noting that even the hills in the park look different than the surrounding hills. “The geology that’s here has allowed everything else to be built off it,” he said. “The shape of the hills is stark and drastic, and the mining history is here because of the geology and that helped create the soil that allows for the farming the area is known for. The park is unique in appearance, and a lot of that has to do with the geology and what’s built upon that.” When Native Americans roamed East County, the park’s site was located between the Chupcan, Volvon and Ompin tribes, all of whom spoke the Bay Miwok language. With the arrival of Spanish, Mexican and American settlers in the late 18th century, the landscape began to change. From the 1860s through the early 1900s, five coal mining towns thrived in the Black Diamond Preserve area, which became California’s largest coal mining operation. Nearly four million

WELCOME! 2022

East County is home to beautiful scenery from rolling hills to cultivated fields to Delta shoreline. Tucked within the natural bounty of the area is Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve, an 8,500-acre park offering a variety of activities. Visitors with various interests and of all fitness levels can enjoy hiking, picnicking and nature study at Black Diamond, part of the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD). The park’s naturalists conduct a range of programs relating to the area’s natural and historic resources. From March through November, visitors can even tour the old sand mines peppering the hills. “I would definitely encourage people to come out to Black Diamond,” said Kevin Damstra, the park’s supervising naturalist. “The Greathouse Visitor Center will open in March, and that’s when our mine tours will begin. We will be offering tours that focus on the sand mining history and tours that focus on the coal mining history. But we are a year-round park even when the visitor center is closed. We have some pretty amazing places to come out and explore.” Activities in Black Diamond Preserve include hikes of varying lengths and difficulty levels and a backpacking site for overnight camping. The area is known for its sweeping views of Mount Diablo and the Delta. Dogs can be walked on leash, and trail runners and mountain bikers frequent the park. Caroline Erickson of Brentwood said she thinks the hiking is fabulous. “The Black Diamond hike has

WINERIES & PUBS

Serendipity Cellars takes drop-ins Serendipity Cellars in Brentwood is a bonded winery, family-owned and -operated by Bryan and Michele Lucay, operating as a vine-to-bottle boutique winery producing fewer than 3,000 cases per year. Producing small lots of wine allows Bryan to devote his time to winemaking, growing top-quality fruit in their vineyards and crafting quality wines in their cellars. You may notice “Lucier Family Vineyards” on the winery’s 2021 labels; Lucier is the original French spelling of Lucay, the name adopted by Bryan’s great-grandfather, and Serendipity Cellars resides on the Lucier Family Vineyards.

Serendipity Cellars is open to the public for drop-ins on Fridays from 3 to 7 p.m. and on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Check their website (www. serendipitycellars.wine) beforehand for scheduled closings for private events. Guests are invited to drop in and purchase wines by the glass or bottle during these visiting hours while enjoying the winery’s grounds, food trucks, music and sunset views of Mount Diablo. Tasting experiences are by reservation only, enabling staff to provide guests with personal attention. Serendipity Cellars is also looking forward to introducing their new 2021 wines along with their 2020 red wines. Their 2021 Vermentino, Sauvignon Blanc, and their Rose’ All Day (made of 100% Sangiovese) along with their 2020 reds, Zinfandel, Tempranillo, Sangiovese, and Red Barn Blend are available. A limited supply of their 2020 Double Gold Chardonnay is still available to pour for guests. This year, Serendipity Cellars is

presenting three styles of Chardonnay to provide guests with distinctly different tasting notes. Their first Chardonnay is no-oak and stainlesssteel aged, with only 24 cases produced. The second is their signature Burgundian-style Chardonnay, barrelfermented and aged nine months on the lees, with 144 cases produced. The third is a California-style Chardonnay available exclusively to club members, with only 24 cases produced. Michele has a full calendar of events planned for 2022, including private wine pick-up parties for club members, their annual Lobster Feed, and many other occasions. The event capacity at Serendipity Cellars is 175 guests to ensure a personable and enjoyable experience for all.

Whether you’re first time home buyers, raising a family, or have raised them already, our community has a wonderful small-town feel with so much to offer! Featuring over 50 parks, golf courses, a highly rated school district, wineries and vineyards, easy access for commuters, and farms, Brentwood truly is a Bay Area gem! It’s why Jamie not only runs her business in Brentwood, but lives here with her family. Upon moving to town, Jamie immediately knew this was the place she wanted to call home. She loves heading downtown on Saturday mornings to the farmers’ market, bumping into friends at the grocery store, grabbing breakfast at Willy’s Bagels, hosting her team’s annual Fall Festival Client Appreciation Event at one of the local farms, or just strolling around town. So whether you have lived here for years and are simply curious to learn more about the real estate market, or you are new to the Brentwood community, please give Jamie a call. She will be more than happy to share with you all the wonderful reasons you should call Brentwood your home. The Connors Real Estate Team is a proud member of

TRANSPORTATION

the end of 2023, Brentwood officials said. “This project is part of a regional effort to improve the transportation network in East Contra Costa County and will specifically benefit Brentwood by providing a quicker connection to (Kaiser PermanenteAntioch),” said Brentwood Assistant Director of Public Works Jagtar Dhaliwal. “It will benefit the circulation in the region in various ways.” Sand Creek Road currently runs from just east of Garin Parkway to its terminus just west of its interchange with Highway 4. Motorists traveling westbound on Sand Creek Road at Highway 4 will

notice the street abruptly dead end, with a section visible from the Sand Creek Road off-ramp from eastbound Highway 4 where a future right turn lane will exist, along with where the future extended roadway will start. For years, much of the proposed right of way for the future Sand Creek Road has been sitting on swaths of undeveloped land and open fields along the southern boundaries of Antioch. That changed recently when housing development projects, such as the Creekside Vineyards at Sand Creek Project, called for the addition of 220 planned new homes to the area, necessitating a need for road See Thoroughfare page 72

A long-proposed major roadway project a decade in the making in Brentwood and Antioch is closer to becoming a reality. The proposed extension will provide much-needed traffic relief in the region. Sand Creek Road, a major eastwest thoroughfare linking southeast Antioch with central Brentwood, is set to undergo construction to extend its current terminus in Brentwood just west of its interchange with Highway 4 to a new intersection at Heidorn Ranch Road in southeast Antioch. With an estimated cost of $14.5 million, this phase of the project is fully funded and is expected to start in early 2023 and be completed by

improvements. “The City (of Brentwood) is currently working on designing the Brentwood phase, consisting of two lanes, one eastbound and one westbound,” added Dhaliwal. “If the Bridle Gate development project is approved, they will be responsible for completing the remaining two lanes.” Bridle Gate is a proposed project of 286 single-family homes that includes two public parks on a 135.31-acre site, according to the city’s website. Ultimately, the Sand Creek Road project is part of a much larger project to extend it from Brentwood to Deer Valley Road in Antioch, adjacent to the Kaiser Permanente Campus. There have long been plans to connect the two sections, but the completion of this connection was contingent on development in the area. Considerable growth and development in the cities of Antioch and Brentwood have led to increasing traffic and gridlock on other roadways, necessitating relief, officials said.

“It’s been part of our general plan for a long time, but it has always been tied to development,” said Antioch Public Works Director and City Engineer John Samuelson. “So it was just a matter of development to start building.” According to Samuelson, the extension will be completed in phases, with a phase of the project consisting of the section from Highway 4 to Heidorn Ranch Road in Brentwood and the next phase from Heidorn Ranch Road to Hillcrest Avenue. The section from Heidorn Ranch Road to Hillcrest Avenue is already under construction, with underground utility work nearing completion and the road being prepared for paving, with an estimated completion time of a few months. The third phase is from Hillcrest Avenue to Dozier-Libbey Medical High School in Antioch. This section could be completed this year, due to the roadway already being paved and awaiting a local developer to finalize the roadway. The final phase to Deer Valley Road is in the process of having necessary right of way obtained by the development company, after

which the design process will begin. All in all, the entire project from Highway 4 to Deer Valley Road is estimated to cost $34.9 million. “With the Heidorn Ranch Road to Hillcrest Avenue phase, it’s finally triggered the conditions to build that section so they could build more homes,” said Samuelson. “That’s the driving force for these improvements.” The long-awaited completion of Sand Creek Road will alleviate traffic concerns on surrounding streets such as Lone Tree Way, Balfour Road and Deer Valley Road, providing another crucial link between Brentwood and Antioch, officials said. “The completion of the Sand Creek extension will enable the City of Brentwood to prepare essential infrastructure necessary to attract corporations and businesses that desire to locate to Brentwood,” said Brentwood Mayor Joel Bryant. “It sets the stage for completion of the Innovation Center and the arrival of high-quality, high-paying jobs that will vastly improve our residents’ quality of life by mostly eliminating a terrible commute for many.” W – By Sean Tongson

Ott-Bales’ family was changed forever when they rescued a border collie that had been trained as a hearing aid dog. Her husband being legally deaf, the dog’s ability to alert him of danger was invaluable for their family’s safety. This experience motivated Ott-Bales to help other families find their life changing companion, too. A volunteer from Homeless Animal’s Lifeline Organization (HALO) in Oakley introduced Ott-Bales to rescuing and fostering. She subsequently fostered over 1,000 dogs through HALO before starting TMAB. To get your paws on one of the puppies featured here, or to learn more about volunteering, contact Throw Me a Bone Dog Rescue at https:// throwmeabonedogrescue. org. W

dogs in foster homes while facilitating their adoption. “If someone’s interested in fostering, now is the time to get involved,” said Ott-Bales. “Fostering is everything. We need homes. Just one dog at a time is a life saved. We cover food, medical and any other expenses. It’s not a huge commitment most of the time, because the dog might be with them for just a couple weeks before it’s adopted.” Fosters are constantly in need, as TMAB’s team rescues dogs from several shelters in the Bay Area and beyond. Ott-Bales says fosters

are especially vital now that shelters have been overrun with “pandemic pets” — dogs hastily adopted and then abandoned as people return to work. Ott-Bales regards TMAB’s lack of a shelter as their advantage. Placing dogs in a home environment nurtures desirable qualities such as proper socialization, etiquette, and house-training, she added. Adopters can browse available dogs online and submit a completed application for adoption. TMAB will then interview potential candidates to determine their willingness to fulfill the dogs’ individual needs. They can meet the dog(s) at a foster location and, if selected, pay an adoption fee before taking them home. Adoption fees are used to provide food, medical and other supplies for fostered dogs.

Cindy Ott-Bales, founder and director of Oakley’s Throw Me a Bone Dog Rescue, has a propensity for finding fitting homes for dogs. This became apparent about five minutes into a recent conversation, when a passerby asked about all the puppies she was talking about. She quickly hooked the passerby with some German shepherd-husky photos and carried on with the chat. For a decade, Throw Me a Bone (TMAB) has been working to match dogs of East County with breedappropriate homes. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, TMAB operates solely on donations and adoption fees, receiving no other funding. With the help of Ott-Bales’ family and volunteers, they have managed to rescue over 1,000 dogs, averaging about 200 dogs a year for the past three years. TMAB houses their

Licensed by the Dept. of Business Oversight under the CRMLA * Reverse mortgages are loans offered to homeowners who are 62 years or older who have equity in their homes. The loan programs allow borrowers to defer payment on the loans until they pass away, sell the home or move out. Homeowners, however, remain responsible for the payment of taxes, insurance, maintenance, and other items. Nonpayment of these items can lead to a default under the loan terms and ultimate loss of the home. FHA insured reverse mortgages have an up-front and ongoing cost, ask your loan officer for details, These materials are not from, nor approved by HUD, FHA or any governing agency
