East County’s Rich History

8

More than 100 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 six 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 a school 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 100,000.

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 establishing the town’s agricultural dynamism.

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 50,000-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

10

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 citycan be traced to Randolph C. Marsh, one of its first landowners (no relation to Dr. John Marsh, who pioneered what is now Brentwood).

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 based on their dreams haven’t been sorry. Lots they bought 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, other than land-use decisions and emergency services. Land use 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 17,000.

BYRON

KNIGHTSEN

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.

Bethel Island, which was officially named in 1898, 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, construction was completed on a new Bethel Island Bridge, replacing the aging wooden structure that provided the only access to the island.

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. Plans to re-open the resort are in the works and include hotel, golf and hot spring spa facilities.

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

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 huge 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 County Historical Society, the Antioch Chamber of Commerce and the Antioch Historical Society. W

CITY OF ANTIOCH

Antioch High’s Najee Harris has put a national spotlight on his hometown this year, as the top college football prospect.

Following more than 30 offers from the top schools, Harris chose University of Alabama.

Nation’s Top College Prospect

16

This year’s college recruitment of Antioch High running back Najee Harris was nearly as action-packed as his performance on the gridiron.

His final decision came to a quiet conclusion, when he confirmed he’d landed in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, home of the University of Alabama.

“I’m here at Alabama and going to ‘Bama,” Harris told Brandon Huffman, Scout Media’s national director of recruiting.

The nation’s top prospect made his much-anticipated decision the day after playing in the prestigious Army All-American Bowl in Texas, with 89 of the nation’s top players.

The 6-foot-2, 220-pound Harris had at least 30 college offers on the table, according to Rivals recruiting service. For months, speculation had swirled around Harris choosing either the University of Alabama or the University of Michigan.

The back-and-fourth drama elicited daily decision projections on social media, with fans and media finding clues everywhere, including the clothes Harris was wearing any given day.

“Najee Harris is wearing a #Michigan shirt in his Snapchat story; it’s a Christmas miracle,” said recruiting analyst Steven Crompton on Twitter, days before Harris’ decision.

In the end, the Crimson Tide won out, much to the delight of Alabama fans.

“Najee Harris will be one of the best players by the end of the year,” said fan Bradie Gockle.

Harris ended his storied high school career as the area’s best-ever running back, rushing for 7,948 yards and 94 touchdowns in four seasons. He averaged 9.5 yards a carry and 193.9 yards a season.

Having graduated in December 2016, he started at Alabama the very next semester.

“Words cannot express how proud I am of Najee Harris,” said Antioch offensive coordinator Brett Dudley. “He has defied the odds, remained humble, worked so hard in the classroom to graduate a semester early and did it all with a huge smile on his face. He cares about his family, his community and is a great role model for kids.”

Harris’ contribution to Antioch football spoke for itself. Harris was key in turning the Panthers into one of the area’s best football teams. The squad improved from 1-9 to 7-5 in Harris’ first full year on the team in 2014 and only continued to improve. Antioch finished 11-1 the following year, which included completing the regular season undefeated for the first time in 38

years and reaching the North Coast Section (NCS) semifinals.

The Panthers finished 8-5 this season and charged to the NCS championship game before falling to Monte Vista.

Through it all, Harris remained humble, even as the media circus closed in around him and some of the nation’s top college coaches visited Antioch’s campus, including Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh and Alabama’s Nick Saban.

“I wouldn’t be able to get a yard if it weren’t for my (offensive line) and wide receivers blocking for me,” Harris told The Press during his third season. “What some people see are the touchdowns or whoever is scoring all the touchdowns; they think it’s a one-man show. That’s just a part of football.”

Harris’ acclaim is expected to rise in college. Alabama took home the national title in 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2015.

“Alabama has been the best college program over the last eight years,” said Steve Sanchez, Antioch High athletic director, after the decision was made. “(Harris is) looking for the challenge. He gets excited about football and knows he has an avenue there.” W

DUDE On The Beat

22

You’ve heard of flash mobs, but have you heard of flash thank-you mobs?

With the help of DUDE. be nice, a Southern California clothing company, students at Heritage High School in Brentwood showed that any season can be the season for kindness and that acts of gratitude can happen on any day.

The Heritage High School leadership team took kindness to a new level by surprising their school resource officer, Officer Mitch Brouillette, known on campus simply as Mitch, with a flash thank-you mob.

“Mitch is a very positive person,” said Heritage sophomore Julia Schroer. “He always brings a smile to my face whenever I talk to him.”

The thank-you event started with a ruse, when Brouillette was called to the student-learning resource center with bad news – he was asked to watch a video on social media of students smoking and doing drugs.

“I had a knot in my stomach,” said Brouillette.

But, when they hit ‘play,’ he was shocked. It was a heartfelt video made by the school’s leadership team, thanking him for everything he has

done for the students and making them feel safe and accepted.

In the video, Heritage High School senior Jason Miller interviewed students, asking them to describe Brouillette in one word and to thank him for a time that he helped them.

“I’m not the most emotional person, but that video brought tears to my eyes,” said Brouillette.

After watching the video, he was directed out of the building through a gauntlet of students chanting his name and a flash-mob of more students serenading him and dancing to his favorite song, “Downtown,” by Macklemore.

“He is the most genuine person,” said Heritage junior Jackie Broussard.

“He’d do anything for any of the students.”

The students led him to a stage where DUDE. be nice founder, Brent Camalich, thanked him for being a positive influence in the students lives and presented him with a signed Dan Marino jersey and tickets to the Miami Heat vs. Warriors game.

The students also chanted the Heritage “I believe” chant, repeating, “I believe. I believe that. I believe that Mitch is great,” as he stood on the

stage with confetti exploding overhead.

As the marching band played, students waited in line to give Brouillette a hug and thank him for being there.

When asked about his job, Brouillette replied, “I believe there’s good in everybody. I try to just get them to see it. These kids are unbelievable.”

The entire event was taped by the DUDE. be nice crew, which produces viral videos of youth recognizing impactful people in a fun and creative way.

DUDE. be nice is inspired by more than just the surf and skate vibe that resonates with young people everywhere – their biggest inspiration is kindness. A portion of every sale funds DUDE. be nice projects, which rally young people together in kindness, creativity and gratitude, while they acknowledge amazing people in their lives.

“We all want to be part of something that matters,” said Camalich. “We aren’t just a company that makes good clothes. We want to inspire kindness, compassion and help people perform good deeds.”

CITY OF OAKLEY

Several projects are slated for downtown Oakley in the future, including this two-story, 40,000-gross square-foot building – featuring retail space on the bottom level and office space above – along the north side of Main Street, between Second and Fifth streets.

Illustration courtesy of City of Oakley.

“Much is on the horizon, and the expectation is that private development will occur as these improvements continue to increase economic viability and set forth a vision of Oakley’s bright future,” Montgomery said.

The planned improvements are an extension of major projects that set the area’s revitalization in motion. The city constructed Civic Center Plaza in 2006, opened the new city hall in 2007 and renovated and improved Oakley Plaza in recent years.

“The revitalization efforts have had a number of milestones, and the very critical decision may have been to build the city hall and Civic Center Park in the heart of downtown, as an anchor and sense of place that every community needs,” Montgomery said.

“The redevelopment of the Oakley Plaza was another huge step.”

Longtime City Councilmember Kevin Romick said the city is now trying to take the next step to attract people to visit and invest in the city.

“What we are looking to do is to build and revitalize a mixed-use Main Street that will enhance its unique qualities, enrich the sense of community and elevate the economic vitality of Oakley,” he said.

story, 40,000-gross square-foot building by Orinda-based Nature Properties – featuring retail space on the bottom level and office space above – along the north side of Main Street, between Second and Fifth streets.

“Staff views this proposed development agreement as a winwin for both parties,” said Joshua McMurray, Oakley’s planning manager.

“This property is one of the longest, undeveloped stretches of Main Street within the downtown, and the development of a quality, mixed-use project would have several benefits to the community.”

In anticipation of an influx of visitors downtown, the city has applied for grants to build a 300-space parking lot and roadway connection behind the businesses on the north side of Main Street, from Norcross Lane to O’Hara Avenue. Plans also call for a new Amtrak train platform to be built adjacent to the rail line, east of O’Hara and west of Second Street. City officials are unclear when the platform and parking lot will be ushered in, since they are dependent upon grant funding, Montgomery said.

In the interim, the city plans to build a small parking lot and access points behind the businesses from Norcross Lane to about O’Hara Avenue.

WELCOME! 2017

The future of Oakley’s downtown is slowly taking shape, and more major projects are on the horizon.

In the coming years, the city plans to welcome a two-story, mixeduse building comprised of retail and office space; widen Main Street; usher in a new Amtrak train platform; and welcome expected private development.

“The overall goal, as outlined in the downtown specific plan, is to help the downtown be walkable and business-friendly – creating an economically viable and vibrant area people and businesses want to be in,” said Bryan Montgomery, Oakley’s city manager.

In the spring, the city will begin a series of improvements to the Main Street corridor, including widening Main Street; installing a traffic signal at Norcross Lane and Main Street; and adding sidewalks, safety medians and landscaping from Norcross Lane to Fifth Street. The improvements, slated to cost $3.2 million, are expected to wrap up by the end of the year. The bulk of the cost will be covered by federal grants.

“These improvements will greatly improve the safety, walkability, aesthetics and economic viability of the area,” Montgomery said.

Hot on the heels of those improvements are plans for a two-

TOWN OF BETHEL ISLAND

The Sugar Barge has resided in the community of Bethel Island for 20 years and continues to be a getaway for locals and tourists alike.

on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for lunch and dinner.

During the busy season, the Sugar Barge family sees a packed house on the outdoor patio, where patrons gather for live music, karaoke and open mic nights. While some events are staple crowd-pleasers, the owners have been concocting new attractions to incorporate in the schedule when the season slows down.

Recently, they hosted one of their first paint nights, in addition to a comedy dinner night, and they intend to add both to the repertoire of the following ticketed events: • Super Bowl party – Feb. 5 • Saint Patrick’s Day party – March 18 • Cinco De Mayo – May 6 (coined Seis De Mayo, as parties take place on Saturdays) • Halloween party – Oct. 28 With a local-centric spirit and a longtime presence in the Delta, Sugar Barge remains the place for those discovering or nurturing a love of water play.

lot on trying to promote that.”

Upon starting the business, Sugar Barge’s owners decided to take advantage of the lack of waterfront dining locations in the area, opening a bar and grill one year later in 1996.

To this day, it remains one of the few places where patrons can eat beside the water, offering complete destination dining in a casual atmosphere. The community privy to this gem in the Delta has responded warmly to its continued presence.

“I had the pleasure of spending last weekend tent-camping at this RV resort,” said Carolina Pasos, in a fivestar online review. “There is nowhere else I would want to come back to again! Sugar Barge has ruined every other campsite for me; in a good way!”

Sugar Barge has 114 RV sites, RV storage, a bar and grill, full-service marina with a two-lane launch ramp and kayak, fishing boat and pontoon rentals. The bar and grill serves food such as calamari, soups, bread bowls and salads, and is open year round,

Tucked away in the Delta, where roads seem to feed into nothing but water, a little resort bobs with the tide.

Sugar Barge is the locals’ best-kept secret, where outdoor enthusiasts retreat to play, dine and camp in unincorporated Bethel Island.

It has been in the community for 20 years and has become the place where many residents go to get away, without getting too far away.

In spite of being well-known on Bethel Island, owner Tracy Venable still thinks people might not be aware of all the opportunities the Delta can provide. Newcomers and even many residents may drive by the back roads that lead to tiny paradises throughout East County’s complex waterways without ever knowing they exist.

“I think the thing we’re always trying to get across is that this beautiful Delta is in (the residents’) own backyard, and they just don’t know it,” said Venable. “It is a gateway to the Delta, and Contra Costa County, unfortunately, has missed the boat a

Discovering the Delta with Captain Morgan & Crew When your last name’s Morgan and you own a boat, there’s not much left to decide. At least that’s how Frank Morgan, owner of Captain Morgan’s Delta Adventures, saw it.

“I’ve got the name and I’m a licensed captain so yeah, it seemed like a natural fit.”

Morgan’s pirate ship is the Rosemarie – named in honor of his mother who passed away in 2011 – a 55-foot newly remodeled houseboat equipped to whisk patrons away for cruising adventures up and down the Delta. Adventurers can book

the Rosemarie for both hourly and overnight adventures with up to 35 guests, or simply procure a couple of tickets to one of the many pre-planned adventures the Captain has posted on his website.

Captain Morgan and his crew can also customize cruises for you and your guests such as their Great Gatsby themed cruise. Cruises can be as simple as exploring the various bays of Discovery Bay, or setting course up Old River where the Captain radios the Bridge Tender at the Orwood Railroad Bridge to open the bridge so the

Call the Captain to start planning your Delta Adventure today!

Rosemarie can pass under it. Cruises out on the open Delta provide panoramic views from the top deck of the Rosemarie.

According to Captain Morgan, “one of our most exciting new adventures is our 4-day and 3-night mid-week adventure (you pick the dates) called “Discovering the Delta” - for up to 35 guests”. On this multiple-day adventure, the Captain combines both water and land excursions so guests can enjoy a relaxing, educational and fun adventure like none other on the Delta.

For Morgan and wife Melinda – the Rosemarie’s resident “wench” – the adventure cruises are all about showcasing the beautiful sites in and around the Delta. “This is not really about making money; it’s about letting people experience the Delta and enjoy themselves,” said Morgan. “It’s already been a lot of fun; we’re looking forward to the rest.”

ARTS & CULTURE

Theater, Arts, Drama: It’s All Right Here East Contra Costa County may be a long car ride from culturally rich San Francisco, but residents here don’t have to voyage over the hill to feed their souls with art, music and theater – exhibits, opera performances and awardwinning theater companies are all right here!

Brentwood Theater Company Hatched under the wing of the Brentwood Art Society, the Brentwood Theater Company was launched in 2009 and has risen from the ground up.

El Campanil Theatre Antioch’s historic theater was built in 1928, and to this day, hosts a variety of performances, from plays to opera performances.

Over the last year, Hadleigh Adam, baritone and soloist opera singer, held performances in the classical spirit of Broadway; the children’s theater group lit up the stage with “The Snow Queen,” and “The Nutcracker,” a ballet favorite, made its pointe during the Christmas season.

The theater is located at 602 W. 2nd St., in Antioch.

From private instruction to Saturday and home-school sessions, Kinsella believes in offering lessons in a nurturing environment.

“I think theater is an organic process,” Kinsella said. “You have to create an environment that allows artists to do their best and blossom within the constraints of the script and the music.”

Delta Gallery Brentwood’s popular Delta Gallery kicked off yet another year of all-new exhibits in 2016, and the community is excited to see what else it has in store for 2017 and beyond.

Located in the Streets of Brentwood, local artists, students and programs have featured their work in a colorful display of variety and participated in galas to showcase their unique talents.

Art, Jazz & Wine Festival The Brentwood Art Society is excited to take its yearly event, the Art, Wine & Jazz Festival, back to its traditional location in downtown Brentwood in 2017.

“We’re a very traditional organization that has stayed the same from year to year,” said Jack Gaughan, a member of the society’s board and one of three coordinators for the festival.

“But we’re able to expand on the event, because now we have the space to do it.”

The funds earned from the festival directly benefit the Brentwood Library, the Brentwood Theatre Company, art docent programs for local schools and scholarship funds, with a portion kept as reserve to seed the next year’s event.

Preserving East County’s Parklands

54

Conservationists, hikers and nature enthusiasts throughout East County have rejoiced over recent land purchases by the East Bay Regional Parks District (EBRPD), as hundreds of acres have been spared from developers and forever preserved as new state park land.

Three deals made at the tail end of 2016 saw the acquisition of about 596 acres. The first purchase added 76 new acres to a location between Brentwood and Antioch, near Deer Valley Regional Park. The land was initially purchased largely in part by the nonprofit organization Save Mount Diablo, which works to protect the mountain from the encroachment of urban development, and East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservancy, along with funds from Measure WW. The EBRPD then purchased the land from Save Mount Diablo.

The property was combined with a total of 3,087 other acres within the area, thus creating a future park that will connect Deer Valley Regional Park to Black Diamond Mines Regional Park.

“This beautiful property will be a tremendous asset for generations of East Bay residents,” said Diane Burgis, a former EBRPD director. “It’s also a critical part of the Marsh Creek watershed.”

The second purchase added larger parcels of land. In a December meeting with the Department of Conservation and Development, the EBRPD indicated its intent and gained

approval to acquire two different land parcels.

One consisted of 199.43 acres – the Coelho-Machado property – that shares a common boundary line with Vasco Hills Regional Preserve and Byron Vernal Pools. The latter territories are inaccessible open lands, owned and operated by EBRPD and are located east of Los Vaqueros Reservoir. The 199.43-acre subject parcel was then slated to become part of the Vasco Hills Regional Preserve.

The other parcel – Moller Ranch property – was formerly owned by the Antioch Unified School District and made up 191.45 acres near the Black Diamond Mines Preserve.

This particular parcel, located south of Antioch and Pittsburg and once intended to become land for a school site, was of particular significance. The EBRPD hoped to secure the entirety of the the Black Diamond Mines Preserve’s main entrance to Markley Canyon, but it was also invested in preserving historical buildings on the land. A ranch house and a dairy barn dating back to the early 1900s still stand between the grassy hillsides near the road that leads into the park’s entrance, and are now secured as part of the Black Diamond Hills Preserve.

The staff analyses for both parcels had been in the same vein of thought – the purchases promoted open space, the protection of ecological resources and the preservation of historic buildings and structures – thus, they recommended the zoning

commissioner to deem the proposals be in conformance with the county’s general plan.

The EBRPD’s third, and most recent, land acquisition involved a 50acre donated parcel, between Contra Loma and Black Diamond Mines regional preserves, in combination with an 80-acre property near Byron Vernon Pools Regional Preserve.

The 50-acre donation was another special acquisition, as the land itself was actually owned by a developer, Suncrest Homes and Antioch Holdings LLC, which could have used the area to build about 50 luxury homes.

Bob Nisbet, assistant general manager over acquisitions, stewardship and development for EBRPD, is thrilled with the new acquisitions.

“Each of the properties is very unique. If you look at the map, they’re not next to each other –they cover different regions – but each property is special in its own right, adding to our current and future parks,” Nisbet said.

“Several of them – not all of them – are in partnership with East Contra Costa Conservancy, which provides funding for habitat protection.”

When asked if the district had plans to purchase more land in the near future, he confirmed that his team was working diligently to evaluate potential areas for purchase.

While he could not specify the region, East County residents can count on the continued efforts of those who wish to preserve beautiful Mount Diablo. W

TESS’ COMMUNITY FARM KITCHEN

Creating a community around farm fresh, local food and a special environment Local Brentwood attorney Barbara Frantz opened Tess’ Community Farm Kitchen in August 2015 after 14 years of working with county officials to create a first of its kind farm market and commercial kitchen in the area.

Delighted customers can stop in for a bite to eat and purchase gift items in the farm market. They can also enjoy a farm-to-table experience for their weddings, bridal and baby showers, birthday parties and celebrations of life in the Orchard Room, the Vineyard Room and the outdoor patio.

Fans of the farm kitchen food will tell you that Tess’ is a healthy alternative, with vegetarian and gluten-free options in addition to ‘clean meals’ for breakfast and lunch. One of their best sellers is Tess’ famous chicken pot pies, all organic with a croissant crust. In 2017, Tess’ will expand to offer dinners to customers, as well as their already popular take-out meals and items from the deli.

“We are the only place in town where people with dietary restrictions can still get yummy food,” said Frantz.

“We have guest WiFi, and people can come in to relax, have a treat and enjoy our 10-acre farm.”

Tess’ has both adult, young teen and kids’ cooking classes on just about any food that you can imagine. There is a complete listing of classes on their website and Facebook pages.

They have also just completed their fourth romantic couples cooking class.

Public events such as their Food Craft Fair, Wellness Fair, Thanksgiving, Prime Rib Christmas and Easter brunch, offer full meals to take home. Other items are also available.

Event settings include the Orchard Room for up to 36 people, the Vineyard Room for 120, the back patio for 120 guests, the 10-person conference room

and unlimited space in the orchard.

If you haven’t visited Tess’, be sure to stop by and if you are a regular, take advantage of their loyalty program.

No matter how you feel when you come in, you will leave feeling reconnected to the joys of your life.

Tess’ Community Farm Kitchen is located at 8091 Balfour Road, in Brentwood, right across the street from The Lakes gated community in Discovery Bay. The kitchen is open Wednesday through Sunday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The chef leaves at 2 p.m. For more information, Call 1-800-8005373, or log onto www. communityfarmkitchen.com, or like them on Facebook at Community Farm Kitchen.

Harvesting The Bounty

60

With each passing season, East County continues to develop and mature, as the population increases and more businesses find their niche in our backyard.

Crops of houses have replaced many of the fields where fruit and vegetables once grew, but agriculture is still very much alive and well in East County. The Pacific Coast Farmers Market Association certifies annual farmers markets in Antioch, Brentwood and Discovery Bay. Antioch’s Somersville Towne Center Farmers Market, located in the Towne Center parking lot off Somersville Road, is open on Sundays, from May through October. The downtown Brentwood Farmers Market is scheduled to open in March and close in mid-November. Discovery Bay’s market runs Thursdays from May through September. For other farmers markets dates and times, visit www.pcfma.com, which is updated weekly to let you know which vendors will be present that week.

Tess’ Community Farm Kitchen in

Brentwood has added another layer to the farm-fresh experience here in East County. Offering cooking classes, fresh food items and room for public and private events, Tess’ is a perfect complement to the popular and prolific agricultural bounty.

Local supermarkets offer plenty of produce already picked and packaged for your dining pleasure, but East County offers foodies the special experience of gathering their own delectable delights straight from the orchard, from Bing cherries at Laird Ranch to apricots at Enos Family Farms.

During the summer, more than 30 produce stands offer scrumptious fruits, vegetables, jams, nuts, herbs and seasonings, plus oils and vinegars.

Stands continue to grow and offer a greater variety of products every year. In 2007, the county passed an ordinance, allowing growers to sell items not grown on the premises, such as water, soft drinks and pies, alongside their homegrown goods.

A list of all the local growers can be

found at the Harvest Time website – www.harvest4you.com.

While there are loads of local goodies to munch on, an impressive array of high-quality wine grapes are also grown right here in East County. In 2004, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors approved agricultural rezoning to allow local vineyards to feature wine-tasting rooms on their property. Hannah Nicole Vineyards in Brentwood took advantage of the development and now holds wine tastings as does Campos Family Vineyards in Byron, and local wines may also be tasted and purchased at Brentwood’s Co. Co. County Wine Company on 1st Street in Brentwood.

If you’re looking to share the flavors of Contra Costa County with friends and family who are unaware of its agricultural wonders, buy a gift basket from McCauley Brothers Olives Groves or Gursky Ranch Country Store. Share these treats with friends and neighbors – or keep it all for yourself. W

WELCOME! 2017 66

A New Winery On The Horizon New vineyards roll along the beautiful hills beside Vasco Road and Walnut Boulevard, a lovely sight for travelers and a symbol of hope and survival for agriculture in East County.

Ron Nunn, the patriarch of a family that has been farming in Brentwood since 1880, owns the vineyards. The family is commonly associated with Nunn Better U-pick cherries which attract agricultural tourists from all over the Bay Area.

With the local growth that has boomed over recent decades, this business step is yet another chance to evolve, find better ways to market the family’s products and stay relevant in a community growing with rooftops.

“I’ve always been interested in

grapes,” said Ron, who acquired the Orchard and Vine property about 10 years ago and aspires to open his winery in the fall. “About 30 years ago, I planted table grapes near my house. Since then, those vines have been pulled and replaced with olive trees, but that doesn’t mean I stopped thinking about grapes. About 20 years ago, I began trying to buy land that would be suitable for wine grapes.”

The land nuturing the wine grapes spans just over 400 acres, with 5 acres slated for three commercial-use buildings – a winery, a wine bar and a farm market. It is also blossoming with other Nunn Better fruits, such as olives and cherries, which may be ready for U-pick in the spring, but the Nunns

will still continue to grow and sell cherries at their large, Sellers Road location. The olives will contribute to the reserves for their Nunn Better Olive Oil, a culinary product they have been making for 20 years, and will eventually be sold at the Orchard and Vine farm market.

The winery and its companion buildings will all have an agricultural appeal, with architectural designs that reflect traditional American barns, and one of the buildings will be used as an event barn to accommodate weddings, galas and other important community events.

“Orchard and Vine is truly Ron’s vision,” said Kelli Nunn, Ron’s niece.

“It’s something that he’s wanted to

VINEYARDS & WINE BARS Artesa, Hahn and Gallo, and the plan is to continue to do so.

“There are so many grapevines out there, there’s no way we could bottle them all – that’s not the intent,” Kelli said.

The final steps of turning this dream into a true reality will hinge on the approval of the county in the spring, architectural approvals and licensing by the Alcoholic Beverage Control and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, but the family believes everything will move quickly once things are in order. Once they are, the winery, farm market and wine bar will offer residents and tourists alike the chance to explore the property, pick cherries, sample wine and soak up the agricultural history with deep roots in Brentwood.

make and bottle other growers’ wines.

We look forward to being a part of Brentwood’s winemaking community and helping to increase interest and draw visitors to enjoy all the wines of the area.”

Orchard and Vine’s next planting will feature white grapes, adding white wines to the lineup, which currently includes seven different reds.

Six of those seven – petit verdot, petite sirah, cabernet, merlot, grenache and mourvedre – will be bottled next fall.

The red Teroldego grape is part of their most recent planting, it will be a few years before those grapes are ready for wine.

As the vineyards have grown over recent years in preparation for the hopeful winery opening, the Nunns have sold their grapes to such winemakers as Orin Swift, Sebastiani,

WELCOME! 2017

do for years, and he got me on board with the project about a year and a half ago. Quite a few other family members are involved as well.”

Currently, 10 tons of the Nunns’ grapes slated for various wines are stored as juice at a custom-crush facility in Lodi, where it will likely be bottled in order to be ready for the big day. A master winemaker has been appointed to oversee the process, but the Nunns hope to begin bottling their own wine once they’re up and running, in addition to showcasing and selling their wines in their new tasting room.

“We look forward to featuring our wine onsite at winemaker dinners, educational wine classes, weddings and special events,” said Kelli. “We would like to become a custom crush facility; in other words, we’d like to

Tailgaters Sports fans and foodies all over East County know where to go to find a plethora of big-screen TVs and home-style food.

72

Choose from an array of specialty, half-pound patty burgers at Tailgaters, while catching the latest game and relaxing in oversized armchairs.

This restaurant stuffs burgers with everything from the Golden State’s beloved avocado to hickory-smoked pastrami and savory sauces galore.

“Our food is very important to us,” said Bill Lohr, co-owner. “We’re about 90 percent homemade, and every year, we get more and more homemade.

Our burgers are never prepackaged or frozen. We hand press all of the patties and the buns come from Bonami French Bakery in Pittsburg.”

Orwood Resorts There’s no need to jet around the world to feel like you’re getting away.

Orwood Resorts, hidden in the country and located beside the Delta, is accessible by boat or car, and the popular getaway is serving up hot gourmet burgers. Paired with fries or onion rings, you can take your pick of burgers from a variety of toppings, breads, produce and even patties.

“It’s a small community; a lot of

the customers come by water, and we’re busiest in the summer,” said owner Cindy Caprio. “We own the entire marina, which is 50 acres, so we have a lot going on here – an RV park, storage, a boat launch, a store and the restaurant. Most of our employees who work with us work at the restaurant. It’s a great group – like family. We have people waiting out the door to get tables, and we buy local corn. We also make our own patties – mix and hand press two different types of meat, which are fresh, never frozen.”

Lumpy’s Diner Choose from a number of burgers on the Lumpy’s ‘world-famous burgers’ menu section. The patties are all 1/3 pound of fresh ground beef, or you can substitute grilled chicken.

“Locally owned and operated since 2008, we work hard to keep our beloved Lumpy’s dream alive,” said owner Marci Sturgill. “Come in and enjoy a classic cheeseburger or spice it up with one of our delicious specialty burgers. Family friendly and affordably priced for everyone’s enjoyment.”

Byron Inn Café Even though the Byron Inn Café is located off the highway, you’ll have plenty of time to slow down for your turn,with signs enticing hungry drivers for miles in both directions.

Roberto Rose recently took over this down-home country joint and has implemented a farm-to-fork

philosophy, purchasing local produce for high-quality meals.

“We’re actually the only restaurant in the area that makes our own homemade milk buns,” said owner Roberto Rose. “We’re known for our burgers. We use local steer, which is ground fresh in house, and we make the 1/2 pound patties by hand.”

Digger’s Diner Another local hub for tantalizing burgers, Digger’s Diner is famous for its fresh ingredients and variety of choices.

Owner Diane Lei said, “We’re a local, family diner that’s trying to be a place for the community to come together in a small-town environment.

We’ve served the best burgers at the best prices for 23 years.”

Big Al’s Cafe Try out Discovery Bay’s awardwinning 1/3 pound Angus beef burgers, served with your choice of homemade potato salad, macaroni salad or fries at Big Al’s Café, which has been in the community since 1990.

From sautéed onions and mushrooms to avocados and bacon, choose from a variety of delicious additions to make for the ultimate burger experience.

“We have been voted best burger for the last three years in the local survey,” said Al Kulling, owner of Big Al’s Cafe. “We’ve also been voted best breakfast for the last 20 years. We really appreciate the many people who come here on a regular basis.” W

Paying for retirement in today’s world

By Beth Miller-Rowe

Branch Manager and Reverse Mortgage Specialist • The Reverse Mortgage Group • A Branch of American Pacific Mortgage

2017 is here! She’s arrived with a vengeance and is pushing her way into our lives like a brassy broad arriving for a whiskey over ice. We have gone from desperate water shortages to flooding in a matter of days. Retirement comes flowing through the front door as quickly as the next New Year!

to take on a monthly mortgage payment.

You may ask how it works. Instead of making a monthly payment to the bank, the interest that is payable is added to the loan balance, so the balance grows over time. Instead of using your checkbook to make a payment to the bank, you are using your equity.

So, here we are faced with retirement.

We are excited, a little scared and full of wonder about what the future holds. There are so many things we want to do, try and experience, and yet we also want to slow down and enjoy a more leisurely lifestyle.

We dream about all we are going to do, and all that we are not going to do, once we get that gold watch.

There are several myths that surround reverse mortgages so let’s address some of them.

In years gone by, we used to retire between 62 and 65, and generally, we would pass on at 75-ish … maybe 80.

That was 10 to 15 years of retirement to fund. With social security, Medicare and our healthy pension, we were going to live the high life, and we had earned it!

As we are well aware, things have changed. Some change has certainly been for the good, but some has created a bit of anxiety, to say the least.

Today we are retiring from 62 to 72, but we are living to 90, 95, even a 100 years of age or older. Of course, that is not always the case, but without any doubt, we are living longer.

So, we know we have many more retirement years to fund. We know that the cost of medical care is skyrocketing, and we know that the money we have saved may not get us through to the end.

The question is what do we do? How do we fund our extended longevity?

A reverse mortgage may be an option that could provide you with some muchwanted relief from financial stress. A reverse mortgage is an FHA-insured retirement funding tool that allows you to access your home equity without having

1. You must own your home outright.

MYTH. You can own your home with no current mortgage, or you may have a current mortgage that will be paid off by the reverse mortgage.

2. Reverse mortgages are scams to take advantage of seniors. MYTH. The FHA-insured reverse mortgage is a highly regulated loan program. It is filled with consumer protections to ensure you understand exactly what your responsibilities are and what the banks responsibilities are as well.

3. The bank owns your home or the bank takes your home when you die. MYTH. You own your home just like you do today. The only way the bank can take your home is if you default on the terms of the reverse mortgage. I call them ‘The Big 5,’ and they include paying your property taxes, your homeowner’s insurance and your HOA dues; maintaining your home; and living in your home.

As long as you do those five things, then the bank cannot take your home away from you. When you pass away, your heirs will need to repay the loan, up to the value of the house.

4. If one of us dies, the other one has to leave the home. MYTH. As long as one borrower is still living in the home and they cover ‘The Big 5,’ then the remaining spouse can stay in the home until they choose to leave or they pass away.

5. If I end up owing more on my home then it is worth, I am not responsible for the deficit and neither are my children. TRUTH! The FHA mortgage insurance will cover a deficit, if any, and therefore, there is no personal recourse to you or to your heirs!

A reverse mortgage is not 100 percent financing. We lend you a percentage of the value of your home, based on the age of the youngest borrower. You must be 62 years of age, although there are some allowances if one spouse is under 62. It must be your primary residence and you must ‘pass’ financial assessment in order to qualify for a reverse mortgage. You can utilize a reverse mortgage to refinance your current home or to purchase a new home.

If you would like more information about reverse mortgages, I am happy to come to your home and review the program, the costs and the requirements in detail.

I will answer all your questions and leave the information with you to review. If you decide it is the right path for you, then you give me a call and we will go forward.

This is why Jamie not only runs her business in Brentwood, but resides here with her family. Upon moving to Brentwood, Jamie immediately knew this was the place she would be able to call home forever. She loves bumping into friends at the grocery store, going downtown to MJs for Sunday brunch, hitting the Farmers Market, hosting her annual Fall Festival Client Appreciation Event at Smith Family Farm or going on a family bike ride around town.

So whether you are new to the Brentwood community, have lived here for years or are just curious to learn more, please give Jamie a call. She will be more than happy to share with you all the wonderful reasons you should be calling Brentwood your home.

The reasons my husband and I choose Jamie as our realtor is because of her remarkable reputation in the real-estate industry, and specifically in the Brentwood Community. Working with Jamie has been, by far, the best experience. Her advice is excellent, informed and backed by thorough local knowledge. She works tirelessly to optimize the outcome of the transaction, and nothing was too much trouble for her. We can confidently recommend her to anyone looking for an agent to buy or sell property. No matter what time of the day (or night), Jamie was always available. Her professionalism and character is testimonial to the great service that she provides to all her clients; it is contagious to the point that she is now not only our realtor, but also a dear friend.

In every regard, Jamie exhibits the highest degree of professionalism and knowledge of her craft. She earned our trust and confidence throughout every aspect of buying, selling and the renovating process.

Thank You Proud to live, work, and play in East Contra Costa County for more than 15 years. We’re happy and excited to help you with all your real estate needs!

East County Transportation Projects Driving Toward The Future

88

Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) will soon expand its options for East County motorists looking to ditch their cars.

The new, $525 million eBART passenger service, slated to open in 2018, will enable East County residents to board at Hillcrest Avenue in Antioch and arrive at the Pittsburg and Bay Point BART station in 10 minutes. The operation will run on the 20-hour BART schedule, and Antiochbound trains will meet riders at the Pittsburg and Bay Point station every 15 minutes. Passengers will also have access to and from a new station slated for the intersection of Railroad Avenue and State Route 4, in Pittsburg.

Unlike conventional BART cars operating on a heavy-rail system and are powered by a third rail that operates electric motors, the new system will use diesel, with multiple units operating on a standard-gauge rail. The new trains are equipped with an electric motor and diesel engine, with the engine providing the energy for the motor. Each car can carry 200 passengers, and three cars can be attached to carry up to 600 passengers at a time as demand increases.

BART officials project 4,000 riders a day will use the new system, which equates to about one freeway lane of traffic on Highway 4 per day.

Ridership is expected to jump to

10,000 riders a day by 2030.

“All these improvements create a quality of life improvement for the people out there,” said Construction Manager Ivan Ramirez.

The Contra Costa Transit Authority also approved a $36.9 million bid on work to add a bridge over Balfour Road along Highway 4. This will allow one lane each of eastbound and westbound traffic to bypass the Balfour signal en route to Byron and Discovery Bay. Work on the project could begin as early as this year and be completed by summer 2019.

“The great benefit of this project is safety,” said Ramirez. “We are going to put traffic at different grades, so there will be less conflict. In addition, it will be convenient for the public, because that intersection creates a backup at peak time. By having the grade separation, people will be able to just cruise over Balfour.”

The project bid, which came in $3.9 million below engineers’ estimates, is generating further excitement for the project, said Brentwood Mayor Bob Taylor, a CCTA commissioner.

“This has been a long time coming,” Taylor said. “This should eliminate that traffic jam, and it should keep people from going across Balfour at 80 to 90 miles an hour.”

The project is just the first of two for this stretch of road. In time, crews will add a second bridge parallel to the first, allowing a second lane each of east and westbound traffic to bypass the Balfour signal. The start date for that project, which is currently unfunded, is unknown.

Farther west along Highway 4, transportation options are also improving. Crews recently expanded the highway from four to eight lanes between Loveridge Road in Pittsburg to just west of State Route 160 in Antioch. The stretch of road between Lone Tree Way and Balfour Road in Brentwood has also been expanded from two to four lanes. In addition, motorists heading to and from East County can also now reach the Antioch Bridge without making a U-turn at Hillcrest Avenue or cutting through Oakley, thanks to recently opened connector ramps linking state Route 160, the bridge and Highway 4.

Oakley City Councilmember Kevin Romick, a CCTA commissioner, said the Balfour Road project would further improve conditions.

“Adding another lane in each direction to Highway 4, an overpass on Balfour and additional turn lanes and eliminating a traffic light for through traffic will make commuting in, out and around Brentwood a little easier for everyone,” he said. W

Rescue Group Wears HALO

110

When it comes to needy critters in East County, Homeless Animals’ Lifeline Organization (HALO) has proved it’s truly made up of angels.

The organization of volunteers has found homes for more than 500 cats and dogs in the past year and 10,000 since its inception in 2001. HALO does not have a shelter, as the organization is a foster-based rescue. This system helps the animals acclimate to home life.

Verlene Leonardo, HALO vice president, said her team goes to great lengths to match the needs and temperaments of both the animals and the humans who wish to adopt them.

“We try very hard to make the best matches,” said Leonardo. “That way, we have very successful adoptions. Also, we require indoor only for our cats and no declawing. If renting, you will need to bring proof that your landlord allows you to have pets. For our dogs, we require secure fencing and yards to be clear of fox tails.”

When it comes to raising funds for this heaven-sent organization, East County is happy to rise to the occasion.

Several scout groups, public schools and churches help from time to time, and have all contributed with fundraising.

The organization also receives donations from local pet stores where the adoption days are held.

HALO puts on its own annual fundraiser in October as well – the Charity Golf Tournament and awards dinner.

The dinner is open to the public and includes a raffle and silent auction, with a large selection of wonderful items. The raised funds make it possible for HALO to find homes for its animals and make sure they are spayed or neutered, up to date on shots and microchipped. In addition, for foster pet parents, HALO covers the cost of all food, supplies and medical expenses.

Adoptions are held on the weekends at local pets stores. On Saturdays, from noon to 3 p.m., in Slatten Ranch,

you can find their furry felines at Pet Food Express and both cats and dogs at PetSmart. On Sundays, from noon to 3 p.m., the kitties will be at PetSmart on Century Boulevard in Pittsburg and both dogs and cats on the second and fourth Sundays at Petco on Lone Tree Way. “Every time an animal finds its forever home, it’s an up lifting story,” said Gigi Boss, HALO’s president, board member and coordinator. “We get letters and photos all the time from adopters on how much they love their new additions to the family and what joy the animal has brought to them. Our volunteers put so much time and love into caring for these animals and to see them go to new homes and thrive is very rewarding.”

For more information or to view a current list of adoptable animals, visit www.eccchalo.org or www.facebook. com/ECCCHALO/ or email contacthalo@ yahoo.com. W
