Highway widening, Bringin’ in the birds eBART to (re)start by Dave Roberts Staff Writer There’s good news for thousands of East County commuters stuck in a bumper-to-bumper grind every weekday morning and afternoon. More than a year after the completion of the widening of Highway 4 to Railroad Avenue, construction on the widening will begin again in a few months. Work is scheduled to start in February or March on the highway widening from Railroad Avenue to Loveridge Road. The $172 million Loveridge Project will provide eight lanes (four in each direction), including a car pool lane, room for eBART tracks in the highway median and a new bridge at Loveridge. As occurred with the past widening, there will be delays and detours, mostly after midnight, during the three years of construction. “Obviously, there’s going to

be slowdowns,” said Susan Miller, project director for the Contra Costa Transportation Authority. “I’m just optimistic that people will be so excited to finally see construction going on that they will deal with it.” Motorists haven’t seen much construction in a while because the past year has been devoted to redesigning the widening to accommodate an eBART line in the median from the Pittsburg/Bay Point BART Station to Hillcrest Avenue in Antioch, acquiring additional land right-of-way, relocating utilities and obtaining necessary permits. But things will be heating up soon along the entire corridor and continuing for the next five years until it’s finished in 2015. Hard on the heels of the Loveridge Project will be the $436 million Somersville Project, which has been broken into four segments to

AUSD trying not to leave children behind by Dave Roberts Staff Writer

The Antioch Unified School District has made improvements on a number of fronts in recent years: passing a $62 million bond to repair old schools, remaining fiscally sound despite budget cuts, implementing uniforms in most of the lower grades and establishing specialized learning academies. The one thing the district has not been able to do? Teach students as much as they should be learning. “The brutal fact is that we are not really showing much traction” in academic improvement, said AUSD Board President Walter Ruehlig. “And that particularly disturbs me because we have had success in so many other areas.” The district has improved its Academic Performance Index by just four points over the last three years. “At that rate it will take us

“ At (this) that rate it will take us 84 years to get to the state benchmark of 800 ... Obviously, three points a year ain’t gonna get us there.

”

AUSD Board President Walter Ruehlig 84 years to get to the state benchmark of 800 – the year 2093,” said Ruehlig. “Obviously, three points a year ain’t gonna get us there. So we have got to do something different. Whatever we have been doing isn’t working.” At the Oct. 14 school board meeting, Stephanie Anello, AUSD director of program improvement, delineated several of what she called “the brutal facts”: • Fewer than 7 percent of the more than 1,000 ninth-grade students who took the Algebra I test scored proficient or better – “10th

grade doesn’t look much better, and 11th grade looks worse,” said Anello. • More than half of Antioch students are not proficient in English or math. • Six schools – Jack London, Lone Tree, John Muir, Sutter, Turner and Park Middle – ranked 3 or lower on a scale of 1 to 10 when compared with similar schools in other districts. AUSD’s newest school board member Wade Harper said that when he read Anello’s report, “it was like a sock in the stomach,” and

asked how often the board receives updates on academic progress. Anello said there will be more frequent reports in the future because in the past “we have spent time looking at student outcome and being surprised that the patient doesn’t come back to life. (In the future) we won’t be performing an autopsy. We will know the patient is sick earlier on.” The school district has failed to meet the No Child Left Behind requirements for the second year in a row. Failure to meet those requirements in the coming years could result in federal sanctions, including replacing district officials, transferring students out of failing schools, cutting funding and implementing a new curriculum. To avoid that, district officials are hoping to get back to basics see AUSD page 26A

Brentwood gets to revisit Compassion For the second year, members of a local church will spend this Saturday, Nov. 21, helping those who need it. Last March, the Harvest Time Assembly of God Church’s Day of Compassion provided hundreds of residents free bags of groceries, plus medical, dental and eye screenings – even haircuts. Organizer Larry Botelho said this weekend’s event promises to do even more. “It’s going to be the same routine this time, but a little bit bigger with some additional services and more volunteers,” he said. This year’s event will include a limited number of swine flu and seasonal flu vaccines available to qualified recipients, courtesy of

Also, Gorilla Rilla, the Oakland Raiders’ unofficial mascot and recent Pro Football Ultimate Fan Association Hall of Fame inductee, will be on hand to help with the event and welcome visitors. And each family who attends the Day of Compassion will go home with a free turkey dinner. The communitywide event will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parking lot of the church, 2200 Ventura Road (across from Krey Elementary School) in Brentwood. A free brunch will be served from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. and all are welcome. For additional information, call the church at 925-516-1908.

Donner artifacts donated to historical society by Samie Hartley Staff Writer Two porcelain dolls that belonged to Francis Eustis Donner Wilder, one of the surviving members of the doomed Donner Party, will grace the East Contra Costa Historical Society Museum’s collection of treasures when it opens for the 2010 season. Frances moved to Byron in 1866 after she married William Wilder, and she remained in East County until she died in 1921. Her granddaughter, Doris Wilder Shera, recently donated the dolls to the museum, along with a few antique clocks from the 1920s. According to local historian Kathy Leighton, more artifacts are likely to be donated in the future. “A lot of people don’t know about the Donner Party’s connection to Byron,” Leighton said. “It’s always been one of those ‘Did you know …?’ kind of things. We have some books on the Donner Party and a file with information about the Wilder family, but to receive these dolls – it’s such a treasure. We’re very thankful that Doris has decided to share this gift with us.” Leighton doesn’t believe that the dolls, which are at least 100 years old, came with Frances during her journey westward, but they could have been among the first toys she received upon arriving in California in 1847. Frances was the daughter of George Donner, the leader of the legendary Donner Party that became trapped in a snowstorm in

Frances was 6 when she and her family left Illinois in April of 1846 seeking a better life in California, where her father hoped to make it rich farming the fertile soils he’d read about in the newspapers. Six months into their journey, the party of 83 became trapped in the mountains and set up camp at Adler Creek near Lake Tahoe in hopes of riding out the storm. The winter of 1846-47 is still one of the most brutal on record in the Sierra, but a group of 15, later known as the Snowshoe Party, continued

on toward California. Only seven made it to Fort Sutter. In January of 1847, a relief party was sent out to what is now known as Donner Pass. When the party reached the camp they discovered evidence that, as food supplies had dwindled to nothing, those remaining at the camp had resorted to cannibalism in order to survive. Frances and her younger sisters, Georgia and Eliza, stayed behind with their parents until March. George Donner, who was in his 60s, was nearly dead and their mother, Tamsen, refused to leave his side, so she sent

Liberty teacher urges students to Get Real by Samie Hartley Staff Writer Twelve years ago Beth Decker had a revelation. The high school English teacher was going over an assignment with her students, but no one was participating. When she realized no one had done the assigned reading, something became very clear. “They told me they didn’t see the point in doing the work,” said Decker, who now teaches at Liberty High School. “They didn’t make the connection between high school and the real world. They had no fear – no concern about failing their classes and not graduating. They saw high school as something that had to be endured – not something that will give them a foundation for the rest of their lives.” Alarmed by her discovery, Decker reworked her lesson plans to incorporate realworld concepts so that students could see how the content applied to real life. Then she stepped away from the classroom to do some her own studying, researching adolescent literacy through the Strategic Literacy Initiative to find the best way to get teenagers engaged in the classroom. After years of compiling her own research, Decker developed Get Real! A Reality Project For Teenagers, which was recently recognized by George Washington University’s Freshman Transition Initiative as a curriculum that successfully aids freshmen in their shift to high school. Get Real! is only the second program to be recognized by the

Liberty High School teacher Beth Decker leads a discussion in her Foundations For Success class in which she uses her own curriculum Get Real! A Reality Project For Teenagers. university since the initiative was established in 2004. Get Real! is designed to prepare students not only for high school but for life beyond high school. Through the program, students learn about goal setting, time management and prioritizing, but they also examine a question they’ve been asked their whole lives: what do you want to be when you grow up? But Get Real! takes it a step further and asks who do you want to be? “There is this huge hole in the way we think about education,” Decker said. “Students aren’t seeing the urgency of what’s ahead for them after high school. They don’t realize this is their transition to grown-up land, and they need to think about their futures. They

need to think about what kind of human beings they want to be.” Decker compiled the Get Real! lesson plans she developed over the years into a workbook, which she uses in her Foundations For Success courses that all Liberty High School students take their freshmen year. In the class, students learn essential skills such as note taking and summarizing, but they do so while learning about concepts such as budgeting and cost of living. In one assignment, students use a computer program that asks them to decide what type of life they’d like to live, including the type of house, the number of cars, the type of clothes they want to wear and whether or not they want children. After clicking on all the

details they’d like to see in their future life, the program calculates how much that lifestyle will cost, what type of job they’ll need to support that lifestyle and what type of education is needed to get that job. Decker said the program’s reality checks change students’ attitudes by the end of the school year. “I’ve had students tell me that the assignments and discussions we have in class make them nervous about the future, but I tell them that’s a good thing. The world is a scary place, so it’s good to be nervous. At least they are thinking about what lies ahead. “As teachers, we want to create the most well-rounded adults we possibly can. Get Real! is a gateway for students to realize that there really in a purpose to high school. With the workbook, they do journal writing and it gets them thinking about the bigger picture, and they need to do it now. They can’t put it off. The real world is closer than they think. They need to know the consequences of their actions.” Decker brings in newspaper articles to keep the content real and up to date, and keep the students informed about the economy, the housing market and unemployment rates. They discuss these topics in class and she encourages students to continue the conversation at home. She even created a parent companion for the Get Real! workbook to facilitate the dialogue. “I’m not trying to tell people how to see Get Real page 21A

All are welcome to attend. We are usually blessed with more than enough physical help the day of the event to serve the meals, but we could always use more canned goods and/or clothing.

Other needs for the day of the event will be pies, sweet potatoes and stuffing. You can stop by my office and pick up some information sheets on exactly what to bring and what to do.

Homecoming honorees

78 The number 78 can be great news for a golfer, depending on where they are playing and the conditions they’re playing in. With the 2nd Annual Support Matters Troop Drive set to kickoff next week – please feel free to call me directly with questions regarding drop-off locations, etc. – it is only right to examine what Sports Illustrated has dubbed “the world’s most dangerous golf course.” Located in South Korea, and built back in 1972, the golf course at U.S. Army Camp Bonifas was the only form of entertainment and emotional outlet for some 700 troops once stationed at the otherwise slow paced post that is now manned by 50 or so troops. The links are as challenging as it comes; natural hazards such as water and sand have been replaced with military bunkers on the left and 18foot high barbed-wire security fences on your right. Fairways are only 40 yards wide, and, to earn the title of the most dangerous golf course, a 192 yard Par 3 comes with the warning, “Danger. Do not retrieve balls from the rough. Live mine fields.” The number 78, as in a 78 percent loan-to-value, can also be great news for homeowners that used Federal Housing Administration (FHA) financing. All 30year FHA loans, regardless of down pay-

ment or equity, require an annual mortgage insurance premium which cannot be removed until two qualifications are met: At least 60 mortgage payments have been made (five years), with no late payments in the last twelve months; and, the home’s equity has reached at least 22 percent. Once both of the above qualifications have been met, contrary to what you might hear, you do not need to refinance in order to remove your mortgage insurance. In a case like this, the homeowner would simply contact their current lender, request an appraisal be completed in order to verify the loan-tovalue is 78 percent or less, then have the lender send the needed documentation directly to the FHA. If your average golf score is already 78 or less, simply put, I’m jealous. If you have any real estate lending related questions or concerns, or wish to be walked through how to remove your mortgage insurance please don’t hesitate to write me at tfreymortgages@yahoo.com or call me directly on my cell phone, (925) 726-1444.

Wheeling out miraculous Meals by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer November is Meals on Wheels month in Contra Costa County, but for the thousands of area residents who rely on the program, Meals on Wheels is an everyday miracle. “Everybody is feeling the financial pinch right now, and we (Meals on Wheels) are no different,” said Sandy Warren, executive director for Meals on Wheels by Senior Outreach Services. “East County is our biggest rate of growth right now and we thought this would be a wonderful opportunity for both the program and the local business owners. It’s a great way to help.” Now through the end of the month, residents in East County can help make a difference during the holidays by making a donation to the Meals on Wheels program through the countywide Dine Out for Meals campaign. Guests who dine at one of the many participating area restaurants can simply leave a donation for the Dine Out program at the establishment when they are finished dining. According to Gary Noe, owner of Mac’s Old House in Antioch and one of the participants in the Dine Out for Meals program, customer donations have been abundant. “I don’t know exactly how much we’ve collected but I’m seeing a lot of envelopes going out to the customers and coming back, so that’s nice,” said Noe, who added that his mother was a long-time recipient of the Meals on Wheels program. “I’m very happy to do this and hope we’re making a difference. It’s a wonderful program and something that’s close to my heart.” Meals on Wheels of Contra Costa, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that relies primarily on contributions from individuals, the private sector and foundations to provide nearly 300,000 meals each year to the more than 1,200 homebound seniors throughout Contra Costa County. A donation of just $4 provides a hot meal for an elder, and a $120 guarantees a month’s worth of daily meals to someone in need. Some 650 meals are delivered every Monday through Friday by volunteer drivers to low-income, frail or disabled clients over the age of 60 who are unable to cook or shop for themselves. The average age of a Meals client is between 75 and 84. The services provided by Meals volunteers include daily health and wellness checks and ongoing client monitoring, including in-home visits by outreach workers, all of which help seniors to live at home in safety, comfort and dignity. It’s fundraising programs such as the Dine Out Meals campaign that helps the nonprofit group make ends meet. And so far, the response has been heartening. “It’s been very nice, from both the restaurant owners and their patrons,” said Warren. “The more people we can get to go the restaurants, the better for the owners, and the better for us as well. It’s a win-win for everyone.” Restaurants participating in East County include:

Antioch Celia’s Mexican Restaurant, 523 W. 10th St. Denny’s, 4300 Lone Tree Way Mac’s Old House, 3100 E. 18th St. Uno’s Chicago Grill, 4827 Lone Tree Way

“ East County is our biggest rate of growth right now and we thought this would be a wonderful opportunity for both the program and the local business owners. It’s a great way to help.

Winter wonderland back It’s back! The second season of Brentwood Holiday on Ice has begun at the Streets of Brentwood, and it runs until Jan. 10. “This is so cool!” said Daniela Sorrel,14, as she sped around the near-Olympic sized rink Friday evening. “It’s really not that hard to do, and it’s way better than hanging out watching TV at home.” Hours are from 2 to 9 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday; 12:30 to 10 p.m. Wednesday and Sunday; and 12:30 to 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Admis-

sion is $10, skate rental $5, and if you’re not sure how to manage on the ice, don’t worry: there are learn-to-skate clinics for youths 5 to 15 on Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. to noon, and for adults on Sundays at the same time. Clinics are $20 per student. Private ice parties can be scheduled before public hours. On Nov. 29, a special Holiday on Ice Show featuring professional skaters is scheduled.

Under pressure to allow residents additional time to express their views on the 2-Gates Fish Protection Demonstration Project, the Bureau of Reclamation has extended the public review and comment period an additional two weeks to Nov. 30. The public comment period is part of the Draft Environmental Assessment/Finding of No Significant Impact (EA/FONSI) for the proposed 2-Gates Fish Protection Demonstration Project, a five-year experimental program designed to save the Delta smelt by rerouting them away from the water pumps on Old and Middle rivers in Byron. Hundreds of letters were received by the Bureau of Reclamation from residents in Discovery Bay and surrounding areas following the bureau’s public forums held last month in Fresno, Stockton and Discovery Bay. Pete Lucero, public affairs officer for the Bureau of Reclamation, said the extension of the comment period would allow more residents to weigh in on the project: “We’ve heard some of the requests from folks and they have some pretty compelling reasons for wanting to have their voices heard. This will give them more time to cogitate over the project and to give people a chance to have

their say.” Karen Mann, vice-chair of the newly formed Discovery Bay coalition called the San Francisco Bay and Delta Foundation (SFBDF), a group dedicated to putting a halt to the gates project, said she is heartened by the extension but knows the war is far from over: “We’re still persevering and moving forward. We’re getting the word out, and people just can’t believe it when we tell them what is going on. We’ve won this skirmish but we still have a long way to go. But we’re encouraged and we’ll keep going.” A question-and-answer meeting of the SFBDF will be held Monday, Nov. 23 at 6:30 p.m. in the Discovery Bay Elementary School gymnasium. The meeting is open to the public and all are encouraged to attend. Mann added that the SFBDF continues to look for volunteers to hand out comment applications before the Nov. 30 deadline. For additional information, call Mann at 925-513-6525 or e-mail at karen@ mannappraisal.com. To get more information on the SFBDF or to get a copy of the draft EA/FONSI go to www.nodeltagates.com. Public comments should be sent to Mario Manzo, Bureau of Reclamation, 2800 Cottage Way, MP-730, Sacramento, CA 95825, e-mailed to mmanzo@usbr.gov or faxed to 916-978-5094.

Members of Delta Diablo 4-H Club can’t suppress their joy after recieving a $15,000 donation from Oakley Councilman Jim Frazier on behalf of Radback Energy, Inc.

4-H gets a boost At the recent 4-H Achievement Night, Oakley Councilman Jim Frazier received a plaque in appreciation of his efforts to save 4-H in Contra Costa County. As a surprise reciprocal gesture, Frazier presented the Delta Diablo 4-H Club with a check for $15,000 on behalf of Radback Energy, Inc., which is proposing to build the Oakley Generating Station. Impelled by cuts that eliminated 4-H funding throughout Contra Costa County’s co-operative offices, members of the Delta Diablo 4-H Club reached out

to the community to help save the program. Frazier’s check will help the club continue its efforts to encourage youth to practice citizenship in the community through leadership training and community outreach programs. 4-H is not just about livestock and animals; 4-H youth are involved in a wide range activities, from forensics to cooking, health safety to animal care and training. In the words of 4-H spokesperson Alexandria Hanlon, “Councilman Frazier, you rock! Radback Energy, thank you from all of us!”

Grappling for education Top pro wrestlers will compete in Brentwood this weekend to benefit education and in memory of one of their own. The Super Rizz Memorial Cup Tournament will celebrate the life of Jason Lee Smith, an Antioch-based professional wrestler known professionally as DJ Rizz who was killed in an automobile accident in August. The event will be held at Liberty High School and raise money for the Jason Lee Smith Scholarship Fund as well as a trust fund for Smith’s 2-yearold daughter. Joe Appelbaum, known professionally as the Pogo the Clown, has performed around the world for Xtreme Pro Wrestling (XPW), Juggalo Championship Wrestling (JCW), and Frontier Martial Arts Wrestling (FMW) in Japan. As a close friend and mentor of Smith, Appelbaum was deeply moved by the untimely passing of his comrade and conceived this memorial tournament to celebrate

THEPRESS.NET

the all-important gift of life. “The Super Rizz Memorial Cup Tournament is a fitting tribute to a great friend and inspired performer who gave it his all in the ring and in life,” Appelbaum said. “With the Jason Lee Smith Scholarship at Liberty High School and the trust fund for his beautiful daughter, I’m doing this to celebrate life, remembrance and giving back. It’s going to be an explosive show, and the community support has been amazing.” Tournament participants include Rik Luxury, El Chupacabpre, Funnybone, Adam Thornstowe, Dante, Mike Hayashi, Johnny Plinko, and “Money” Mike Rayne. A special tag team attraction match will feature The Suburban Commandos against Joe “Pogo The Clown” Appelbaum and A.J. Kirsch. The event will be held Saturday, Nov. 21 at 7 p.m. and tickets are $10. Liberty High School is located at 850 Second St. in Brentwood.

Contra Costa Health Services has relocated a scheduled H1N1 and seasonal flu clinic and announced plans for additional clinics in East County. The clinic planned for Nov. 21 at Ygnacio Valley High School in Concord has been relocated to the Sleep Train Pavilion, 2000 Kirker Pass Road in Concord. The drive-through clinic will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. An East County clinic has been rescheduled as an indoor, walk-up clinic for Sunday, Dec. 6 at the Pittsburg Health Center, 2311 Loveridge Road, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Nov. 21 drive-through clinic in San Ramon will be held as planned from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the PG&E San Ramon Valley Conference Center, 3301 Crow Canyon Road. Information is subject to change. Before

attending a clinic, check for updates at the Contra Costa Health Services Web site, www. cchealth.org, or call 888-959-9911. H1N1 and seasonal flu vaccine will be available for the following priority groups only: Pregnant women; all children 6 months through 4 years old; children 5 through 18 with chronic medical conditions; and those who live with or provide care for infants under 6 months of age, including parents, siblings and daycare providers. Seasonal Flu Priority Groups are all those 60 and older; pregnant women; and all those age 4 and older with chronic medical conditions. Chronic medical conditions include diseases of the lung (including asthma), heart, kidney (including diabetes) and liver, as well as neurologic disorders and immunosuppression.

Pets to be given holiday homes H.A.L.O. (Homeless Animals’ Lifeline Organization), an Antioch-based dog and cat rescue, is participating in the national Foster A Lonely Pet For the Holidays pet-fostering program. Across the country, more than 13,000 pet rescue organizations are trying to empty their kennels for Christmas, encouraging members of the public to invite a pet home for the holidays. Fostering a homeless pet for the holidays is rewarding experience that enriches the human-animal bond and provides assistance for rescue groups who are already overextended. H.A.L.O. is happy to answer questions

about the program for people interested in making this Christmas a happy holiday for a pet in need. Those interested in welcoming home a pet for the holiday season should call H.A.L.O. at 925-473-4642. H.A.L.O. will provide all needed supplies to care for the animals from Dec. 20 to Jan. 3. No further commitment is required, although hosts will be given first chance to adopt their guest if they choose to. Dozens of adoptable dogs and cats are available. You can view all of the pets online at www.petfinder.com. The goal is to put each of these pets into a home by noon on Dec. 20.

Counting our East County blessings There is much to bemoan and complain about in today’s world: two years of the Great Recession with its double-digit unemployment, high gas prices, high taxes, ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, terrorism around the world, killings at a Texas Army post and on and on. It’s easy to give in to doubt and pessimism. Fortunately, we set aside one day of the year (this year DITORIAL Thanksgiving falls on Nov. 26) to reflect on all we have to be thankful for, the many blessings of life that too often get overlooked in the daily grind of living. Here are a few things we’re thankful for: • We live in the wealthiest, freest country on Earth, where the African-American son of an unwed mother can become president of the United States. • We live in an area with the best climate in the country (if you don’t mind putting up with a few days or weeks

of triple-digit temperatures in the summer). • We live in an area that’s a short driving distance from one of the world’s cultural centers but is still surrounded by farms, orchards, a scenic mountain and the greatest wetland habitat on the West Coast, the Delta. • We live at a time when medical miracles like doublelung transplants are not only possible but increasingly commonplace. • We live in an area filled with generous, good-hearted people who gladly raise funds so that a high school student can get that transplant and have a chance at a long, productive life. • While there’s still a long way to go, our roads are slowly but steadily improving –the first phases of the Highway 4 Bypass are complete and future upgrades are planned, Highway 4 is set to be widened through Antioch by 2015 and an eBART line to Antioch is planned to be built.

LETTERS Legends lauded Editor: The Antioch Sports Legends Committee staged the third group of Inductees into the Antioch Hall of Fame. Antioch Sports Legends is in conjunction with the Antioch Historical Society at 1500 W. Fourth St. in Antioch. On Nov. 6 there was a welcoming reception at Antioch High School’s Don Richardson Gymnasium. The gym was decorated beautifully and the inductees of 2009 were recognized by Mr. Tom Menasco, one of the founding members of Sports Legends, as well as Mr. Eddie Beaudin, Mr. Jim Boccio, Sr. and Mr. Leo Fontana, also founders of the Sports Legends. Mr. Dave Sanderson was not present. There was wonderful mingling in the gym with former athletes and their families and friends. The athletes were telling stories of days gone by on the athletic fields and reacquainted themselves with the place where they originally gained their

fame in Antioch. The inductees were from many eras and they spoke of their days with their respective sports. We then walked to the game between the Antioch Panthers and the Deer Valley Wolverines. The inductees and representatives were seated in the south area of the field just behind the end zone and goal post of “Dutch” Eells Football Field. At halftime, the cheerleaders and mascots from both teams escorted the prestigious former athletes and coaches onto the middle of the field to the approval and applause of the crowd in attendance. The cheer squads and mascots were very colorful, friendly and enthusiastic about the historical Antioch event. It was fun going back into time with these athletes. By the way, Deer Valley won the game against Antioch 42-14. These players could someday be future Antioch Sports Legends inductees. Another milestone was the Antioch place-kicker, Dallas Butterfield. She is a young lady who kicked two extra points for the Panthers. On the morning of Nov. 7 there was a presentation of the select athletes, coaches and other inductee representatives. They had their chance to speak on their careers as well as to thank a coach, parents, teacher or friend that helped boost their education and athletic career. Also in attendance were two previous inductees from 2007 and 2008. The award winners for 2009 are: football – Grover Garvin; Jim Boccio, Jr.; Dan “Buck Shaw” Sweeney; “Itsie” Marchetti and Bob White; baseball – Mike Lucido and Larry Hopwood; track – Pat Zech; softball – Sue Cardinale and Debbie Nelson; community leader – Walter “Dutch” Eells; coach – Marv Comstock; golf – Robert “Bob” Heaton; wrestling – Bob Koupeny; and all-around athlete – Nick Rodriguez.

• The retail explosion along Lone Tree Way and the opening a year ago of The Streets of Brentwood shopping center means it’s no longer necessary to drive “over the hill” to do most of your shopping. • Oakley celebrated its 10th anniversary as a city this year, and did so in an attractive, expanded City Hall. Brentwood recently broke ground on a civic center worthy of the city’s ascendancy as the cultural and economic heart of East County and which promises to revitalize its downtown area. Antioch is constructing a new community center in Prewett Park that is due to open next year. There are, of course, countless things to be thankful for. We welcome your contributions either in comments that you post to the online version of this editorial by clicking Opinion at thepress.net or in letters to the editor e-mailed to editor@brentwoodpress.com. Have a happy Thanksgiving.

Also inducted were the 1970 Antioch Panther High School baseball team: Gary Scheide, Alan Brown, Dan Tuck, Mike Lucido, Vic Thornhill, Art Acosta, Larry Hopwood, Bruce Moar, Vern Martin, Harold Turley, John Beaudin, Dave Tassell, Junior Grant, Greg Scheide, Steve Parks and Greg Glod. Manager Kyle Kline and Coach Bill Snelson were also inducted. Also in attendance at the induction ceremony were Antioch Mayor Jim Davis; City Council members Reginald Moore, Martha Parsons and Mary Rocha; as well as dignitary Nello Baldocchi. The school principals and co-principals in attendance were Scott Bergerhouse and Clarence Isadore from Deer Valley and Louie Rocha of Antioch. Saturday night’s dinner was held at the Lone Tree Golf Course, which closed the wonderful weekend for the inductees. Antioch Sports Legends is located in the lower part of the Antioch Historical Society building and features memorabilia, photos, jerseys, equipment and other materials donated to the program by family and friends. It is a well-represented and colorful room that includes Visio TVs, which show what has been going on the world of sports in Antioch. In order not to leave anyone out, thanks go to the other helpful people that do all the upkeep designs on the displays and the investigating of the new athletes who might someday have their names and faces in this very display. Thank you to all these hard-working, community-minded volunteers. Richard Burke Former Panther ’63

Look into Delta developments Editor: I’ve lived at the Gateway to the Delta for 20 years and was here when the

pump house was built at Roger’s Point. Now the rules affecting the Delta and Antioch’s water may change with legislation just passed in Sacramento. The Delta Unit of the League of Women Voters of Diablo Valley is sponsoring a panel discussion to explore the implications of these changes on Saturday, Jan. 23 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Antioch Historical Society Museum, 1500 W. Fourth St. in Rivertown, Antioch. Panelists include Dr. Gregory Gartell, assistant manager of the Contra Costa Water District; Susanna Schlendorf, 15th Assembly District representative for Joan Buchanan; Kari Fisher, counsel to the Farm Bureau; Karla Nemeth from the Natural Resources Agency; David Nesmith of the Environmental Water Caucus and Dr. Lawrence Kolb, retired assistant director for the Water Quality Board. As a league member, I’m hoping for a large turnout and answers to my many Delta water questions. Martha E. Goralka Antioch

Letters from page 18A ementary school, just 0.6 miles from the site,” and so forth. At the location, there was just a single row of Eucalyptus trees, defining its northern border, adjacent to 20 acres of vintage Klein grapevines scheduled to be torn up, paved over and built upon. A sandy dirt road, bordering the vines, was where the “tour guides” suggested we walk to look at the area. Not much to see. Following this non-magical mystery tour, a hearing was held at Oakley City Hall, where members of the California Energy Commission and the petitioners – Radback Energy, the builders of the plant – explained the project in more detail and then answered residents’ questions. My first question was, “How much greenhouse gas emissions would the plant emit?” Answer: one million tons per year! (Yet the Radback representatives were delighted that the plant would emit 313,000 tons less per year with their new technology!) Think about it: one million tons per annum equals 83,333 tons per month; 19,231 tons per week or 114 tons per hour! I also suggested that as well as channeling the expected millions of dollars of tax income toward more emergency services, it might also behoove the users of those tax dollars to apply some of it to more renewable energy projects, such as solar and wind – after all, the plant has a shelf life of only 20 to 40 years, whereas

sun and wind are in abundance out here in East Contra Costa County – and their shelf life is way longer! I did not receive a satisfactory answer. I was astonished that almost all of the other speakers approached the podium, fell to their knees and worshipped at the Altar of The New Power Plant. No one else brought up pollution – neither environmental nor noise – nor any other similar concern. I do understand the joy of the union workers that this project will create jobs for our residents, albeit for just a couple of years, after which time the plant will be staffed with only 20 “professionals” – and a couple of janitors, I expect. However, the questions of pollution, public safety, etc. were largely ignored by the residents, who were too busy worshipping at the altar. Dollars make people’s eyes sparkle and glaze over … There will be eight more hearings held before the plant is finally approved and I certainly hope that Oakley will seriously consider the safety of its residents, its air quality and the idea of renewable energy as an inevitable course for the future, during its decision-making process throughout these hearings. Oakley citizens must get involved before their City Council, once again, runs roughshod over us all to approve something without listening to what we want and need. Eve Diamond Oakley

Donner from page 4A which were too large for the child’s feet. She often got stuck in the snow, much to the frustration of her handler, William Thompson, who eventually told the young girl to leave the shoes behind and walk in her stockings. He later felt guilty about the decision and gave Frances his mittens to put over her feet. In Rarick’s book, Frances recalls the journey and how Thompson motivated her by promising her candy if she persevered and worked her way up the hills. In a collection of family letters compiled by Barbara Wilder Politano, Frances is remembered for always carrying crackers or peppermint candies with her in case she, or anyone around her, got hungry – a trait which is believed to be a result of her childhood ordeal. The girls reached Fort Sutter in April, and soon after, the fourth and final relief party returned with news that their parents had died. Only 45 of the original 83 members of the Donner Party made it to California. Frances was taken in by James Reed and his wife Margret, who moved their family to San Jose after they recuperated from the journey from Adler Creek.

Get Real from page 6A parent their children. I’m not saying that parents are failing their children, either, but I know from experience that it can be difficult to talk about these bigger issues, and the parent companion is designed to guide the conversation and open up the channels of communication.” Decker said the recognition from George Washington University is welcome validation that her program is working, and she’s already been contacted by school districts across the county that have heard about her program and are considering incorporating Get Real! into their curriculum. “It’s good to have feedback from experts who have looked over the program and have decided that this is something worthwhile. That stamp of approval means a lot. Until now, I’ve only had my own experience, and in my classroom, I’ve seen the failure rate go from about 35 percent to less than 10 percent. I saw a problem and I developed a program to try and fix it – to fill that need. I put it all in the book to save other teachers the work. “Students need a program like this. They need to make the connection between high school and real life. I can’t be the first person to see a need for a program like this. Every adult I talk to tells me they wish they’d had a program like this growing up. I’m not saying my program is the best. But students need a class that will help them make these connections. They need to do it now before it’s too late.” Decker said her students have asked her what she’ll do if the program goes national and she becomes famous, but she laughs at those ideas. “They ask me if I’m going on “Oprah,” and I tell them that if I do, they’re coming with me. They have helped me shape this program and make it what it is. They inspire me and I couldn’t have done it without them. Who knows what the future holds – but I could never walk away from this. This is what I was born to do.” For more information about the Get Real! program, visit www.getreallearning. com.

Frances went on to attend St. Catherine’s Academy in Bencia. When she was 18, she married William Wilder, and after a few years of living in the Sacremento area, moved to Byron, where they raised their five children. Their property was located along what is Hoffman Lane today. She lived on the ranch for 55 years until she died in 1921 at the age of 81. Frances is buried next to her husband at Union Cemetery in Brentwood along the Donner Pass path. Leighton said Frances’ dolls, along with the clocks, will go on display when the ECCHS Museum reopens in March. Shera also donated to the museum some articles and a few family books chronicling the history of the Donner Party and the Wilder family.

“ It’s kind of like Oz behind the curtain – we’ll pull all the levers to make it work.

”

Troy Emry Press Publisher Greg Robinson agreed: “We’re very excited about the directory. The way people are finding their information is changing, and we’re positioning ourselves for the future. The benefit of the online directory to customers is that their business is featured on the local community Web site, the place where

their customers go for information. It’s a local site (thepress.net) that supports local business. And their businesses can now be found on the first two pages of Google as well – guaranteed.” Signing up for the online directory is easy to do and easy on the pocketbook: The three packages range from basic (a free listing of the company and its contact information) to gold and platinum, which will eventually offer e-commerce options. “The nice part of all this is that we set it up for customers and it’s up and running in 48 hours,” said Emry. “It’s very low maintenance and we’ll update, correct and improve it all for the customer as needed. It’s kind of like Oz behind the curtain – we’ll pull all the levers to make it work.” “It’s very user-friendly,” added Phillips, “and the response in the past few months has been fantastic.

OBITUARY Gary Neil Robertson Gary Neil Robertson, a 22-year resident of Discovery Bay, an avid fisherman, bowler and friend of many, passed away on Nov. 2. He was 72. Gary was an excellent bowler, loved the game and bowled in several leagues at Harvest Park Bowl in Brentwood. He was very involved in coaching the youth bowlers at Harvest Park. As a coach he was a teacher, friend and a positive role model for many. Gary touched so many lives in the bowling community that Jim Wangeman (proprietor of Harvest Park Bowl) felt it appropriate that his memorial be held at the Bowling Center, where Gary spent so much of his time. His Celebration of Life was held on Nov. 14 and was attended by his many friends and family. After the many verbal tributes to Gary, the Youth Bowlers released white balloons to the heavens in Gary’s honor. He made an impact on so many lives and will never be forgotten.

In Memoriam Hey, Megan! On Nov. 19 you would have celebrated your first teen birthday – 13. We were thinking about celebrating by possibly bowling with some of your buds. We went to your favorite birthday dinner last night and shared some laughs – about your “singing,” your laugh, your beautiful smile and the joy, chaos, fun and excitement you brought into our lives. And we cried … It’s so difficult to understand that you are truly gone. “Amazing”: it’s the one word that describes you. We are missing you! With love, your Daddy, your Momma, your Bro and your many, many friends.

Highway from page 1A make it more manageable. Construction is expected to start next spring on Segment 1, which reconstructs the Somersville Road interchange. Also next spring construction will begin on Segment 3A, which reconstructs the Lone Tree Way/A Street interchange and Cavallo Road undercrossing. In doing so, project planners will be jumping over Segment 2, which is the Contra Loma Boulevard/L Street interchange and G Street overcrossing. That segment isn’t scheduled to start until the spring of 2011 due to the extra difficulty in working around Kirker Creek, which passes through the area. A date hasn’t yet been set for starting construction on the final portion of the project, Segment 3B: the Hillcrest Avenue interchange. There’s a possibility that the Hillcrest bridge won’t need to be reconstructed, saving millions of dollars, according to Miller. The big question mark concerns the location of the Hillcrest eBART Station. Funding is available to build it near Hillcrest Avenue, but Antioch officials are hoping more money will be found to place it further east to tie in to a planned transit-oriented development of townhouses, offices and stores. In addition to the highway widening, construction is planned to start next spring or summer on the eBART line, focusing first on the transition platform where East County riders will get off the eBART train and walk across to a waiting BART train. Unfortunately, due to a lack of funding it does not appear that much construction activity will take place on the Highway

AUSD from page 1A after several years of dealing with just about everything but improving test scores under the leadership of Superintendent Deborah Sims, who resigned in May and has been replaced by Donald Gill. “I’m so glad to hear the refreshing stress on fundamentals,” said Ruehlig. “I’m just now starting to recover from the dizziness. There were so many balls in the air it was dizzying.”

4 Bypass next year, according to Dale Dennis, program manager for the State Route 4 Bypass Authority. The only scheduled work will be the placement of a rubberized asphalt overlay on Marsh Creek Road next May or June. That will mark the completion of the entire project to Caltrans standards, allowing it to be transferred to state control, and returning the old Highway 4 – Main Street in Oakley and Brentwood Boulevard in Brentwood – back to the control of those cities.

“That will make it much easier for the cities of Brentwood and Oakley actually to make improvements,” said Dennis. “Dealing with the state can be somewhat arduous. Some city staff have indicated putting a (traffic) signal in has taken three years to get through the bureaucracy of the state.” Next June, trucks will be allowed to travel the length of the bypass without being required to get off at the middle segment from Lone Tree Way to Balfour Road. While many residents would welcome

getting trucks off city streets, Val Tompkins, who owns A&A Auto Parts on Brentwood Boulevard between Delta Road and Lone Tree Way, is concerned about its effects on local business. “When they bypassed downtown Tracy and moved traffic off of old Highway 50, it destroyed all of downtown,” said Tompkins. “There were places that you couldn’t give away. Restaurants, service stations, dealerships closed up because of the lack of traffic through there.” Because funding for the bypass comes almost entirely from fees on development of local housing and businesses, which has nearly come to a halt during the recession, plans for further road improvements have been put on hold. Those include interchanges at Sand Creek Road, Lone Tree Way, Balfour Road and Highway 160, along with widening of the Lone Tree Way-Balfour Road segment to four lanes. Enough land right-of-way has been acquired to eventually accommodate an eight-lane highway with an eBART or other mass transit line in the median. Dennis said officials are trying to obtain some of the federal stimulus funding for the bypass, which has proven to be a tall order so far despite the advantage of several shovel-ready projects. When the $789 billion stimulus “was first discussed, there was supposed to be somewhere between $80 billion and $120 billion for transportation projects,” said Dennis. “As it worked its way through the sausage production process in D.C., that was reduced to $30 billion. California ended up getting only $2.7 billion, which for a state the size of California is really, really ineffective.”

He believes that Anello is the right person for the job. She supervised the tripling of math scores and mainstreaming of specialeducation students when she was principal of Antioch Middle School. “I think we have to break away from a very theoretical construct,” said Ruehlig in an interview. “I think we were very heavy on theory and not so much on practice. That’s one thing I do like about Ms. Anello. She brings that sort of down-to-earth, common sense, dirt-under-the-fingernails approach.”

It might require a lot of fingernail dirt to turn around Antioch’s schools. The district has taken several steps in the past month to begin reversing the academic malaise: • Converting academic coaching/mentoring to a district-wide responsibility instead of focusing on one school at a time. • Asking principals and vice principals to spend at least 30 percent of their time in classrooms observing, coaching and mentoring students and teachers. • Emulating the success in high-performing

schools and districts such as Los Medanos Elementary in Pittsburg, where the students have been scoring in the 800s for several years. Board member Claire Smith used a culinary analogy to describe the district’s newly focused approach. “Put too much on the plate and it’s a big pile of nothing,” she said. “If we separate the peas and potatoes and steak, we can work on it better than if we throw it into one big pot and say, ‘Here it is, have some ketchup.’”

Wolverines remain perfect against Patriots by Kenny Lee Correspondent

Appropriately for Senior Night last Friday, Deer Valley seniors Brandon Williams, Damon Collins and Kristoff Williams led the offensive charge in a 31-18 victory over Heritage, allowing the Wolverines to remain unbeaten. In addition, Deer Valley’s defense and special teams forced four turnovers, three of which accounted for 17 first-half points. While the Patriots can look back on their regular season with a sense of accomplishment, they might look back on this game with a groan of what might have been. Their first three possessions essentially decided the outcome of the contest: punt, fumble and interception. After the Patriots’ first punt, Deer Valley needed only five plays to get on the board, culminating in Collins blowing through the line and streaking down the sideline on a 75-yard TD jaunt. After going three-and-out, the Patriots’ punt snap attempt sailed over the head of Chazz Griffiths and was recovered by Wolverine John Lewis, giving Deer Valley first-and-goal on the 10. But the Heritage D held, and the Wolverines were forced to settle for a 27-yard field goal from junior Brierly Lindberg for a

10-0 lead. The Patriots’ next possession was even shorter. A halfback option play was wide open for a touchdown, but the pass was underthrown, intercepted in Heritage territory and returned to the Patriot 19. Four plays later Brandon Williams punched in a three-yard score for a 17-0 lead. But as the quarter wound down, the Patriots began to move the ball on the ground. Unfortunately, what had started as a promising drive ended in disaster when quarterback Brent Eikanas was intercepted by Brandon Williams, who broke on an out pattern and raced 86 yards for a “pick-six” and a 24-0 lead. Heritage recovered an onside kick to start the second half, but another turnover gave Deer Valley the ball near midfield. The Heritage defense forced a turnover on downs with 7:51 remaining in the third. A methodical 12-play drive ended in a sixyard TD run by Tyler McDonald, narrowing the deficit to 24-6. Another three-and-out for the Wolverines gave Heritage possession at its 31 with the quarter winding down. This time, an equally impressive 14-play drive resulted in a seven-yard score by Kruger Story Jr. – and, surprisingly, the Patriots were back in the game, trailing 24-12. see Wolverines page 3B

Pittsburg cruises in Big Little Game by Michael Dixon Correspondent

A Pittsburg player is all over Antioch’s Jordan Hoyle as he attempts to catch a punt.

The Antioch football team couldn’t overcome a poor start at Pittsburg Stadium and lost the 91st Big Little Game to Pittsburg for the third consecutive season, this time by a score of 35-14. After the Panthers went three-and-out on the opening possession, their punt was shanked, handing the Pirates the ball at the Antioch 27-yard line. Three offside penalties by Antioch gave the Pirates the ball on the 5-yard line, and quarterback Julius Mozee scored on a quarterback sneak from the one. On the next Panther possession, Pirate linebacker Jerrick Page intercepted a pass from Billy Cloninger and returned it to the Antioch 15-yard line. Breon Butler then scored the first of what would be three touchdowns on the

afternoon, this one from one yard out. Antioch moved the ball relatively well for the rest of the half, but couldn’t score. Cloninger underthrew an open Greg Arroyos on a play that, had it been completed, would have given the Panthers the ball in at least the red zone. Instead, Pirate defensive back Robert Jiles intercepted the ball, thwarting the Antioch drive. The next Antioch possession brought similar results. The Panthers started from their own 1-yard line and moved the ball to the Pittsburg 20. Unfortunately for the Panthers, a fumble stopped that drive. Late in the second quarter, the Pirate offense got back on track with a 59-yard drive that ended with a nine-yard run from Butler that gave the Pirates a 21-0 halftime lead, effectively putting the game out of reach. After the Pittsburg band, which will be a

part of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York, entertained the fans at halftime, the Pirates picked up where they left off, scoring on their second possession to go up 28-0. Antioch finally got on the board. On fourth and long, punter Jordan Hoyle improvised from a bad snap and ran for the first down. The drive culminated with a 10-yard touchdown strike from Cloninger to Hoyle. The teams exchanged fourth-quarter touchdowns to provide the final score. Jiles returned a punt 64 yards for the Pirate TD. Antioch answered with a 72-yard touchdown pass from Cloninger to Shamawn Wright. “We just made too many mistakes – the penalties and the turnovers,” said Panther coach Randy Autentico. “That’s been kind of our season. Turnovers, mistakes, mental missee Big Little page 3B

Deer Valley coach wins NCS award by Dave Roberts Staff Writer

Before the Deer Valley girls volleyball team’s North Coast Section playoff opener last week, Coach Lou Panzella was awarded NCS Volleyball Honor Coach of the Year to the applause and cheers of fans in the Wolverines’ gym. And then his players awarded him one of their best games of the year, whupping an overwhelmed San Leandro squad 3-0. San Leandro was never in the match – losing 25-15, 25-7 and 25-10, presumably leaving the Pirate fans grumbling “aargh!” or some variation of that on the drive home. “Right from the start it seemed, I think, that we were a little more experienced coming into playoff games,” said Panzella. “They looked a little nervous. I think they are pretty young, too. They look young. We did the things that we had to do. I thought our ball control tonight was as good or better than it’s been all season. When we have good ball control, we have people that can hit.” The hitters are led by 5-foot-11inch Sandra Foster, who scored 12 kills, and Tyler Harper, who notched 10. Kara Stark finished with six kills. Panzella also noted the superb play of center Keesh Tolentino, who made 32 assists and this sea-

son replaced “probably the best center the school ever had last year, Iris Tolenada, who is starting as a freshman at San Francisco State. Those are big shoes for Keesh to come in and fill. And I think she’s doing a great job. She didn’t let the pressure of that get to her. She’s done a great job all season. “We’ve been playing really good defense. We have a couple of players who stand out a little bit, but it’s really a team effort. If you just go through the whole eight people that are in the regular rotation, they play really good defense, they pass well, they do what they got to do to be successful. That’s the key to our success. I just thought we really did a good job tonight.” Panzella has also really done a good job for most of his 20 years of volleyball coaching, first at Antioch High and then at Deer Valley, amassing 317 wins and helping his teams get to the NCS semifinals four times. An NCS official in a five-minute speech before the game praised Panzella not only for his outstanding record, but also for being “humble and gracious,” having so much “integrity in everything that he does” and raising funds to fight breast cancer and diabetes. Asked if he wanted to say a few words, Panzella lived up to his humble label, saying, “I don’t want to speak now. Just, can we play volleyball?”

Deer Valley Coach Lou Panzella shows off his NCS Girls Volleyball Honor Coach of the Year award as Jessica Ewert (21) and Keesh Tolentino provide support. Afterwards he acknowledged that the award “is kind of a big deal. You can only get it once in a lifetime. It’s nice. It’s a little embarrassing.” Asked how he’s been able to put together such a successful program (this is the second season in a row his team has won the BVAL title), again the humility emerged: “I have really good players. I’ve been at Deer Valley for 13 years – I’ve never scored a point. We have good players that work hard. We have a system and it helps that I’ve been here – the consistency. It takes good players, players that are going to work hard, that have athletic

ability, that are intelligent, that are willing to do what it takes to be successful on the court. It takes good players. We are pretty lucky that we have had consistently good players year after year after year.” Deer Valley’s playoff run continued Saturday night on the road against Mission San Jose, winning in four games after dropping the first. They faced topseeded Amador Valley in the semifinals on Wednesday after the Dons knocked off Heritage in three games. The results of that match were not available at press time. The winner plays in the finals Saturday, Nov. 21.

Bell from page 1B unfortunately, couldn’t execute that. But give their offensive and defensive line a ton of credit today.” Although it was billed as the Bell Game, it could also have been dubbed the Consolation Bowl – both teams were vying for their first league wins in the last game of the season. Coming into the game, it appeared the contest might be close – and for a scoreless first quarter, it was. But Freedom broke it open in the second quarter, scoring three touchdowns. Cooper began the spree with a 13-yard run on the first play of the period to take a 6-0 lead after the extra point kick hit the left upright. Eight minutes later he scored on a 20-yard TD run, which was followed by a two-point conversion. After a blocked punt by Michael Sutherland gave Freedom the ball on the Liberty 43, quarterback Stephen Rodriguez passed to Kenneth Walker on the 28 and Walker ran it in to put the Falcons up 21-0 at the half. After a scoreless third quarter, Cooper notched his third TD nearly midway through the final period by barreling from the 12-yard line into the end zone, shaking off would-be tacklers as he went. Liberty finally got on the board with less than three minutes left in the game on a 14-yard run by Caleb Moravec. But Freedom scored again just a minute later when

The learning process keeps them more interested.” Making the Patriots girls’ success more impressive is the fact that all of the players, with the exception of sophomore

Len Del Chiaro of the Brentwood Kiwanis Club chats with seniors from the Freedom Falcons football team during the annual Bell Game Luncheon last Thursday at Oakley’s City Hall. Each year the Kiwanis Club invites seniors from both Freedom and Liberty (seen behind Del Chiaro) to celebrate the friendly rivalry, and after the game, awards scholarships to the MVPs from each squad. Jessie Smith broke through the middle and ran 35 yards for the TD. Hartwig is looking for bigger and bet-

ter things from his young team next season. Similarly, Liberty, which has not won a league game the past two years and was

able to muster only 19 points in five league games this season while giving up 244 points, can only improve from here.

Arlesha Sumuda, first picked up a racket in their freshman year. Sumuda’s experience and skills paid off, getting her to the BVAL championship finals, which she lost in two sets to Antioch’s powerhouse senior Kaitlynn Simarro. “She’s young,” said Molsberry of Sumuda, “so I think we’ll see big things from her in the next couple of years.” Ironically, Heritage’s number-one doubles team of Megan Ward and Victoria Seyoum suffered its first loss of the

season in the doubles final at the hands of Heritage’s number-two doubles team of Korin Dizon and Sarabeth Panela. Both teams qualified for the NCS playoffs Tuesday in Santa Rosa, the results of which were not available at press time. The Heritage team got shut out last week in its NCS playoff match against third-seeded Miramonte. Molsberry brought along the JV team so that the younger players could witness the level NCS competition, which is a significant

leap above the BVAL due to most of the players having taken lessons and competed from an early age before they get to high school. For example, Miramonte’s three best players are freshmen. “This league (BVAL) is a good starter league, but it’s not as deep when you go on the other side of Mt. Diablo,” said Molsberry. “They have a lot of teams that are very deep. They come to play. It doesn’t mean they are any better than you, but they have had more practice.”
