Past and present Clayton police officers are preparing to take to the greens in the annual Contra Costa Kops for Kids Golf Classic, which will again be held at the Oakhurst County Club in Clayton on Monday, Sept. 15. Police Chief Chris Thorsen, former Police Chief Dan Lawrence, and officers Allen White and Allan Pike from the Clayton Police Department are long-time supporters of the event, which supports the charitable efforts of Kops For Kids. Contra Costa Kops for Kids is a group of active and retired police officers who work to help prevent violence, drug abuse, and juvenile delinquency in Contra Costa County. All proceeds from the Kops for Kids Golf Classic will go to support at-risk youth in Contra Costa County. Two of Kops for Kids’ primary programs for assisting youth are the Kops for Kids Youth Mentoring Program and the Positive Mental Attitude Seminars and Sports Clinics Program. Volunteer officers who mentor a single youth are offered grants of up to $250, and up to $1,000 in grants are provided for a group of four or more. Kops for Kids has awarded more than $120,000 in youth

Use a low number if you are in good health and sedentary, use a higher number if your under stress, pregnant or recovering from an illness, or if you are consistently doing intense weight and endurance training. For example, a 154-pound male who is a consistent exerciser and lifts weights: • 154lbs divided by 2.2 = 70kg • 70 kg times 1.5 = 105 gm protein/day Another way to calculate how much protein you need is by using daily calorie intake and the percentage of calories that will come from protein. To do this you will need to know how many calories your body needs in a day. First find out what your Basal Metabolic Rate. Next, figure out how many calories your burn through activity daily and add the number to your BMR. This gives you an estimate of how many calories you need to maintain your current weight. Then figure out what percentage of your diet comes from protein. The percentage you choose is based on your goals, fitness level, age, body

mentoring grants over the life of the program. “We believe we are making a difference in the lives of some of these youth,” Chief Thorsen said. “Many of these youth come from difficult environments where positive role models simply do not exist.” The Positive Mental Attitude Seminars and Sports Clinics programs, which are offered at no charge to local schools, reached 6,242 youth during the 2013-14 school year — the highest number in the history of
Fitness, from page 16 require more protein but any more than the recommended daily allowance (RDA) won’t necessarily help build more muscle. Three groups of bodybuilders were studied, one lowprotein group, one moderateprotein group, and one highprotein group, and found that there were no effects varying protein intake had on lean body mass. Essentially, the more you exercise, the greater your protein needs will be. However, taking in excess or doubling your protein intake won’t necessarily help build muscle. Here is how to calculate your protein needs: 1 weight in pounds divided by 2.2 = weight in kg. 2 weight in kg. times (0.8-1.8 gm/kg) = protein grams.

the program. When the program first began more than 18 years ago, officers hoped to reach a few hundred youth per year. “There is a tremendous need for our services in Contra Costa County,” Chief Thorsen said. “The more we can do to support Kops for Kids, the more the organization can do to assist young people in our community.” The cost for attending the Golf Classic is $175 per golfer or $675 for a foursome. The
