Antioch council denies Walmart expansion by Dave Roberts Staff Writer After nearly four hours of emotional and contentious debate in a standingroom-only meeting that ended after 1 a.m. last week, the Antioch City Council denied Walmart’s request to add a grocery department to its store in Williamson Ranch Plaza on Lone Tree Way. The vote was 3-2, council members Reggie Moore, Martha Parsons and Mary Rocha opposing the expansion. Mayor Jim Davis, in an unusual criticism just before the vote, accused council members of playing politics and basing their decision on emotion instead of facts. “I have to tell you, I’m ashamed of this council at this point if they vote it down, and I’m embarrassed,” Davis said. “We have asked the public to increase the (sales) tax rate, but we are going to deny good paying union (construction) jobs and deny Walmart when they have done everything they can do to meet our requests: downsize the building (expansion), increase security, the whole gamut. “And they have every single right to sue the city. If they sue the city, where are we going to have the income to defend ourselves? I don’t see that happening. I think what I am seeing here is the gearing up for the November election. It shouldn’t be, but it is. We have been advised by legal counsel that we are subject to a lawsuit

Walmart has done everything that’s been asked of them to do. And here we are again looking like it won’t be approved. We need to make the decisions that are correct for this community based on the facts and not by our emotions.” This is the second time the council has denied Walmart’s expansion on a 32 vote. Councilman Brian Kalinowski joined with Moore and then-mayor Don Freitas to deny a much larger expansion

and 24-hour operation request in 2007, based on what they viewed as inadequacies in the environmental impact report (EIR). Walmart then dropped the 24-hour operation request, scaled back the expansion to a grocery department and paid for a new EIR. But the EIR was again cited as cause to deny the expansion. Moore, Parsons and Rocha are concerned that allowing Walmart to sell groceries would result in the closure of several other grocery stores
in Antioch that charge higher prices and employ unionized workers making about $22 per hour versus Walmart’s lower prices and non-unionized employees starting at $12 per hour. They believe closure of other grocery stores such as Save Mart, Lucky and Food Max would lead to urban decay when other stores fall in domino fashion and shopping centers shut down. “I’m the only council member who lives on the north side of the freeway,” said Parsons. “Part of my area is a redevelopment area. Save Mart is my store, although I do shop at other stores. A good many of my neighbors shop at the store. That store is a neighborhood store. It’s not one that you go to normally from the south side of the city. There’s people I’ve grown up with that walk to that store. They don’t have another way to get to that store. That store is barely making it. I have noticed how it’s decreased. People don’t have a full grocery cart any more. They are living paycheck to paycheck, many of them. I just can’t believe that (according to the EIR) it would be insignificant to the older part of Antioch if that Save Mart would close. I do believe it would close. That is significant to people.” Many Save Mart and Lucky employees told the council they would lose their jobs when their stores close after Walmart starts selling groceries. “We are going to see Walmart page 22A

Veterans Hall renovations underway by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer
If you’ve been inside Veterans Memorial Hall in Brentwood lately, you’ve probably noticed some changes to the interior of the 85-year-old structure at 757 First St. At least that’s what Dave Martinez hopes. “Every memorial building that I have ever been to had a real nice place to meet and talk and host events,” said Martinez, who is retired from the Marine Corps. “But what we had was a basement that looked like a garage sale gone bad. It was time to make some changes.” Understanding that economic times are tough right now, Martinez set to work a few months ago, recruiting local talent to help create a warmer, more welcoming lounge area in which veterans can relax and socialize. What he got was an impressive punch list of supplies and items that are slowly replacing the remnants of more than 80 years of smoke and cobwebs, while leaving the memories and mementos of lifetimes lived and lost in the service of their country. “What we’re trying to do is create an environment where our veterans want to come and hang out,” said Martinez. “A place where we can talk about things. There is a bond among veterans that no one else has. There are things that we have

for handicapped veterans – a poker table that can be covered to double as a conference table, a pool table and the creation of a work station area with office desks and partitions. A wheelchair lift will be installed to improve access to the re-
vamped room. “We would also like to replace the old furniture and get a nice leather couch, a flat-screen television and create a comfortable area to sit down and relax in,” said Martinez. “So far we’ve had paint and lumber donated, my neighbor Toni Vornhagen, who is an interior architect, did the design, and all the work has been done by volunteers who come out every Saturday and do what needs to be done.” George Martinez (no relation to Dave) is in charge of the upstairs projects, which include restroom renovations – Latrine Lieutenant Duty, as he calls it – as well as new front doors and a handicapped-accessible ramp at the entrance. “We redoing the restrooms so that they can be ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant,” said George. “We’re expanding the bathroom areas because they were so tiny it was impossible to turn a wheelchair around in there. It’s going to make a big difference.” While the renovations are separate projects – the basement remodel, which is funded exclusively through community and private donations; and the restroom, front doors and handicap ramp, which were paid for primarily through government grants – both will considerably upgrade the look and feel of the facility. And attract more community busisee Veterans page 21A
THEY SAID THEY’D POSTPONE You’ve probably heard the saying, “The right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing.” Well, that hardly even begins to describe most banks right now. They are swamped with collections, loan modifications and bank-owned properties. Most of these banks hardly had any staff for these functions as short as 4-5 years ago. So not only are they trying to ramp up their staff and computer systems, but they are dealing with new government regulations and programs that seem to change constantly. More than once I have come across the following frustrating situation: Someone is behind on their mortgage and trying to work out a loan modification. They’ve sent in all their financial documents, returned all the lender’s forms, and jumped through all the hoops. Meanwhile, they keep getting letters from the collection department demanding money on the account, and eventually they threaten to foreclose, even giving a scheduled sale date. They’ll call in and speak to the person working on their loan modification and is told not to worry because the foreclosure will be postponed because the loan mod looks
likely to be approved. But then the date comes and they go ahead and foreclose! It is hard to fathom, but the banks often have separate collection, foreclosure and loan modification departments. Sometimes they are on different floors of the same building, but other times they are in different states! What’s even more mind-boggling is how these departments not only often don’t talk to each other, but they can’t even access your records at the other departments. So the loan mod department may have no idea about the upcoming foreclosure date. So if you are in this situation, be sure you verify with the foreclosure department of your lender that the foreclosure has been postponed. Also, as part of the foreclosure notification process, you should get a notice of sale posted to your front door. On that form will be a number you can call to verify the status of the foreclosure.

by Samie Hartley Staff Writer When pink slips were issued to teachers throughout California earlier this year, and districts began making monumental budget cuts, Leann Weibert decided to take matters into her own hands – and other peoples’ feet. As a parent of students attending schools in the Brentwood Union School District, Weibert didn’t want to see more programs and resources taken from her kids as well as the approximate 8,000 kids in the district, so she started talking with other parents to get ideas for a fundraiser. After a few weeks of bouncing around ideas, Weibert and her fellow parent and friend Carrie Ellcessor established the Brentwood School Run For Fun’ds, a walk/jog-a-thon. “With all the budget cuts that have hit the district this school year, you have to do something; this is our kids’ education,” Weibert said. “Class sizes have increased, teachers have lost their jobs and programs such as music, art and computer courses have been reduced or eliminated. As parents, we feel the need to get involved to help protect our children’s future.” The event is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 11, from 8 a.m. to noon at the field between Garin and Edna Hill schools. Participants must pay an entry fee (pre-registration
is $10 for BUSD students and teachers or $15 for adults; registration the day of the event is $15 for BUSD students and teachers or $20 for adults), and once they’re signed up, they’re are asked to seek pledges to support the Run For Fun’ds cause. “We’d like every participant to raise at least $20,” Ellcessor said. “It’s a realistic goal. We know times are tough and people are more frugal, but just a dollar or two can go a long way for this cause.” Ellcessor said the Run For Fun’ds Committee’s goal is to sign up 1,000 participants, but committee co-chair Janna Stonebarger noted that since the school district serves more than 8,000 students, if those students can get their family and neighbors to join in, the number of participants could easily exceed a thousand. “This is our first year, so we don’t want to set the bar too high, but we’re hoping for a big turnout,” Stonebarger said. “This is a community event so we want everyone to come – even if you don’t have a student in the Brentwood school district. The proceeds will go to the schools, and the students will benefit from the effort. People need to remember that the kids are the heart of the community, so by contributing to the fundraiser, you’re not only supporting the schools but you’re investing the see Run page 14A

East County child care provider Aim-High is expanding to fill the void left by the bankruptcy of the Delta Family YMCA in Oakley.
Aim-High fills child care gap by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer
Last spring, when the Delta Family YMCA closed the doors of its location on O’Hara Avenue along with its childcare at some of the Oakley school sites, many families were left with limited options. But now, thanks to the Aim-High organization, parents can find solutions to their before-andafter school care right here in town. “When the Y bailed on the daycare programs, I contacted the gal at Aim-High to see if there was something we could do to broker a deal for our families who were looking for care for their children,” said Oakley
School Superintendent Rick Rogers. Aim-High Child Care Center is a nonprofit corporation that provides before-andafter school care for students in grades K-5. Following its successful establishment of sites in the Brentwood Union School District, the Aim-High group had long considered moving into the Oakley area, but lacked the demand to justify its own facility. Last year, in an effort to accommodate families in Oakley who wanted to participate, AimHigh bused a handful of students from Iron House Elementary to the Brentwood locations. see Aim High page 21A

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage Matters By Trevor Frey
Be S.A.F.E. Out There “demonstrate financial responsibility, character, and general fitness such as to command the confidence of the community and to warrant a determination that the mortgage loan originator will operate honestly, fairly, and efficiently.� Better yet for any borrower, each residential loan officer who passes the exams will be assigned an individual NMLS ‘license number’ which will be theirs for so long as they are a loan officer anywhere in the U.S., and consumers anywhere in the country can check up on them – their professional background, their past performance, and whether or not they were ever the subject of any criminal or fraud or disciplinary actions. If ‘Joe Blow loan officer’ was bagging groceries a month before you handed him your application, or was ever convicted of mortgage fraud anywhere the country, you’ll know, and more than likely you’ll rethink your lender of choice! Although these major changes to residential loan origination are not yet 100% in place, they are right around the corner and are sure to create a whole new wave of lender fallout. If you are in the process of applying for a home mortgage, whether it be for a purchase or for a refinance, be safe, and make sure you are working with a professional. If you have any real estate lending related questions or concerns please don’t think twice to call or write. I’m always here to help, my cell phone is always on, and I will be available all weekend!

As part of the original Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, the Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008 (“S.A.F.E.â€?) was passed into law on July 30, 2008, for two main reasons: consumer protection and anti-fraud. Currently 43 states have put at least the minimum requirements in place to meet the nationwide “S.A.F.E.â€? protocols and California’s deadline for bringing all loan officers doing business in California ‘in line’ is July 31st of this year. What does ‘in line’ mean? By July 31, 2010, all loan officers originating residential loans in California will have been required to pass the newly instated Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System (NMLS) test, submit their fingerprints to the FBI, and undergo a full personal and criminal background check. In order to register for the NMLS test, a loan officer will have had to complete a comprehensive 20-hour “S.A.F.E.â€? training course, and then within a set timeframe follow that with an additional 8 hours of training in ‘continuing education curriculum’ approved by the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System (NMLS). So, after July 31, 2010, any residential loan officer doing business in California who has NOT passed both the federal exam and background check will not be allowed to take a residential loan application, quote a rate, or even give any advice about any loan program‌they will not be doing business. Per the “S.A.F.Eâ€? Act requirements, the purpose of this is to make all loan officers doing home loan business in the state of California

New superintendent ready for the job by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer If Theresa Estrada was worried that slipping into the Knightsen superintendent’s seat might be anti-climatic, she needn’t have worried. In her first week at the helm, Estrada voted with her school board to place a $5 million bond on the November ballot, worked to balance the district’s operating budget and, oh yes, stayed late the day before school started pumping up the playground’s four-square balls. “We’re a hands-on district; it’s a handson place,” said Estrada, who officially took over as Knightsen’s leader this year from longtime superintendent Vickey Rinehart. “It’s what I love about Knightsen.” And it’s what Knightsen loves about her. For the past 16 years Estrada has been an active participant in the district’s growth and progress, first as a classroom teacher, assistant vice principal, then principal, and now as the incoming superintendent. The married Oakley resident and mother of five is characteristically low-key about her new responsibilities, but keenly aware of her role. “We have some challenges ahead, no question,” said Estrada. “We (as a district) want to make sure we maintain the quality of education that the community expects and that we expect. There is no question we have some challenges ahead, but we’ll meet them.” The $5 million bond measure is the

The school board hopes that passage of the bond (which will impose a tax of about $30 per year per $100,000 in property value) will stabilize the district’s financial situation and lead to the eventual re-opening of Old River. “I hope the bond passes and hopefully it will go well,” said Estrada. “It’s a difficult balance because we are looking to make

due with less but want to make sure that the kids don’t feel the financial pinch. So far everyone has been very supportive.” And although the job of superintendent is considered a part-time position (Estrada will also co-principal with Ray Witte, former principal of Old River Elementary) Estrada understands that she comes on board at a critical time to the district and its future. Outgoing superintendent Vickey Rinehart, who had been grooming Estrada for the position since last year, said the choice for superintendent was obvious. “She’s one of those people that is
a bright, divergent quick thinker,” said Rinehart. “Kids are her first priority and she is a very, very capable person who will make the decisions that are necessary for the good of the district. She makes it very easy for me to retire knowing everything is in her hands.” “There’s plenty to do and lots going on,” added Estrada. “At least I know I’ll never be bored. I hope to do well; a lot of people have put their faith in me and I don’t want to let them down. I’m looking forward to the coming year.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Thinking About a Short Sale or Foreclosure? The Law you Should Know by Joan Grimes, Esq. Before you consider a short sale or foreclosure, here is the law you should know. First, there are two types of debts. They are unsecured and secured. Unsecured debt is the bare promise to pay. The most common form is credit card debt. Secured debt, on the other hand, has two parts. The first part is the bare promise to pay which on a car loan or real estate loan is the Promissory Note. What makes secured debt different than unsecured debt is the security given by the borrower to ensure the promise is kept. This security on real property is called a Deed of Trust. Second, on real estate loan, there are two different types of promises to pay. Non-Recourse or Recourse. A Non-recourse loans is (1) the loan or loans obtained to purchase a 1-4 unit property in which the borrower occupies at least one unit or (2) seller carry back. Everything else is recourse debt i.e. the refinance of the real property, lines of credit, the loan or loans used to purchase a rental property. Third, personal liability depends on whether you do a short sale or foreclosure and whether you a non-recourse or recourse debt. If you do a short sale, you can have personal liability unless it is waived by the lender. Remember, a short sale is just like any other sale and if you don’t pay the full amount, the lender can request payment. If a property is foreclosed in a non-judicial trustee sale, you will not have any personal liability as to the loan that is foreclosed on because California is an anti-deficiency state i.e. the lender waives its right to come after you on the loan that they foreclosed on. However, if there are junior liens to the foreclosing lien, they will have the right to sue you after the foreclose. They are called “sold out” junior i.e. they lost their lien, but they still have the promise to pay and thus have the right to sue you on the promissory note.
AUGUST 6, 2010

Fourth, in every short sale or foreclosure, there are tax implications. The IRS wants to know two things. (1) Did you make any money on the deal and (2) Did you borrow any money which was not repaid. If you made money on the deal including taking out cash to buy another house, buy another car, pay off credit card, you may have gain. If you borrowed money which is not repaid either through a short sale or foreclosure, you may Cancellation of Debt Income (“CODI”). There are exceptions to the CODI, but you should “know” not “think” the tax implications before a short sale or foreclosure. In conclusion, a short sale or foreclosure without legal advice is like jumping into the middle of the ocean with no life vest. Don’t do it. A short sale or foreclosure can stay on a credit up to 7 years. Do not take on liability which could have been eliminated or reduced with first obtaining legal advice. Help is available to you. I see people every day for consultations on short sales and foreclosures for a flat fee of $300. If you end up needing to filing bankruptcy, the fee is a credit against the bankruptcy fees.

Schools, parents take on Rachel’s Challenge One person’s tragedy can be an inspiration to many, as the Brentwood community will discover next week when Rachel’s Challenge comes to town. Rachel Scott was the first person killed at Columbine High School in 1999. Her acts of kindness and compassion coupled with the contents of her six diaries have become the foundation for one of the most life-changing school programs in America. Powerful video and audio footage of Rachel’s life and the Columbine tragedy holds students spellbound during a one-hour school presentation and motivates students to change the way they treat others. The program will visit Edna Hill, Adams and Bristow middle schools next week. Following each student presentation, a presentation will be held in the evening for parents
and residents. The sessions will end with a challenge to parents and community leaders, showing them how they can reinforce the decisions their youth are making. The aim of Rachel’s Challenge is to inspire, equip and empower students and adults alike to create a permanent positive culture change in their school, business and community by starting a chain reaction of kindness and compassion. The Edna Hill community presentation will be held Monday, Aug. 9 from 7 to 8 p.m. at 140 Birch St.; the Bristow presentation will be held Wednesday, Aug. 11 from 7 to 8 p.m. at 855 Minnesota Ave.; and the Adams presentation will be held Thursday, Aug. 12 from 7 to 8 p.m. at 401 American Ave. For more information, visit www. rachelschallenge.org.

Reservoir expansion could impact wildlife by Dave Roberts Staff Writer The expansion of the Los Vaqueros Reservoir will be a boon to the humans who rely on it for their drinking and irrigation water supply, but it could affect the wildlife living in and around the reservoir, particularly during construction, according to a recent study. The Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) approved the expansion by 60 percent in March. Construction planned to begin early next year will increase its capacity to 160,000 acre-feet of water from the current 100,000 acre-feet. The benefits include providing a reliable water supply in drought periods, improving water quality, helping the environment and creating jobs, according to a CCWD press release. “The expansion to 160,000 acre-feet will provide immediate local benefits, but does not preclude future consideration of further expansion with commitments from partners regionally and statewide,” stated CCWD General Manager Walter J. Bishop. That further expansion could total 245,000 acre-feet, more than doubling the current size of the reservoir, which would increase the impacts on wildlife in the area, according to a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) report. Animals in the 18,000-acre Los Vaqueros Watershed include endangered or threatened species such as the San Joaquin kit fox, bald eagle, California red-legged frog, Alameda whipsnake, California tiger salamander and vernal pool fairy shrimp. Expanding the reservoir to 245,000 acre-feet “would have the most extensive terrestrial impacts,
2010
including permanent and temporary impacts to existing conservation easements, existing mitigation areas, critical habitat for federally-listed species, proposed critical habitat for federally-listed species, and potential impacts to sensitive fish, wildlife, and plant species,” concludes the USFWS report. In addition, the increased diversion of water from the Delta to the reservoir “may incrementally affect aquatic habitat characteristics in the Delta, and contribute to conditions that negatively impact sensitive species in the Delta.” Expanding the reservoir to just 160,000 acre-feet would reduce the wildlife impacts, but it “would still result in impacts to grassland habitat within the Los Vaqueros watershed, in addition to impacts to other habitats within the watershed,” the report states. The USFWS is withholding support for either option for now, awaiting more information on what CCWD and its possible partners plan to do to minimize the impacts, “including where and how much mitigation habitat would be acquired, loss of dedicated conservation easement lands preserving movement corridors, uncertainty regarding water operations agreements” between CCWD and other agencies and completion of further studies. On the plus side, the expansion is expected to reduce the current impacts to Delta fish by changing the timing that water is diverted from the Delta, improving flow conditions during certain times of the year and during drought years and improving other aquatic characteristics, according to the report.

Antioch wrong to deny Walmart expansion In one sense it’s understandable that the Antioch City Council denied Walmart’s expansion last week after hearing from dozens of Lucky and Save Mart employees that their stores close and DITORIAL would they would lose their jobs if Walmart is allowed to expand to include a groceries department in its store on Lone Tree Way. You have to feel sympathy and want to do something to help when people are pleading with you for their livelihood. But in many ways it was wrong for council members Reggie Moore, Martha Parsons and Mary Rocha to deny the 33,000-square-foot Walmart expansion (which is smaller than the 40,000 square feet in most large supermarkets): • Walmart won’t kill the grocery stores. The voluminous Walmart environmental impact report concluded that the impact of selling groceries in Walmart would be negligible to Antioch, including that it won’t lead to urban decay. “The increased competition resulting from the project is not expected to cause
E
or contribute to the closure of any existing food stores in the area,” the EIR states. “As such, it is very unlikely that the project would initiate or contribute to a chain of events resulting in physical deterioration of properties or urban decay.” Walmart’s grocery store would amount to less than 10 percent of the existing grocery retail space in Antioch (340,000 square feet in eight major supermarkets). • The poor are hurt most. They are the people who, as Parsons put it, “are living paycheck to paycheck.” Many of them also are Walmart customers who need to save every dollar they can when shopping for a necessity like food. They might be able drive to the Wincos in Brentwood and Pittsburg – unless they don’t have a car or have limited mobility. The council decision forces many of the neediest Antioch residents just trying to feed their families to pay more of their limited dollars in higher-priced food stores. • Competition is good. Cynthia Anderson, a Walmart pharmacy technician who formerly worked in Target, said it best at last week’s meeting: “I can un-

derstand those people might be scared. When Walmart opened I thought, ‘There goes my job.’ As time went on it came to be that Target and other pharmacies lowered their prices. Walmart is here in Antioch, and we want to offer another service that causes competition in the area. It’s not like we want to put somebody out of business. Competition is a good and healthy thing.” • A deal’s a deal. When Walmart became the anchor tenant in a 142,000square-foot store at Williamson Ranch Plaza in 2000, the deal included the city’s approval to eventually expand to 245,000 square feet, as former councilman Allen Payton pointed out to the council. The current 33,000-square-foot expansion request is less than a third of the expansion space that store officials were promised when they decided to move to Antioch. “This is about commitments,” said Payton. “When the city makes commitments, you need to keep them. You don’t have the right as a government to decide who will and won’t compete and win in the private sector.” • It’s bad for business. The council

More experienced leadership needed Editor: This letter is in response to appointed (not elected) Director Brian Dawson’s criticism of Walter MacVittie’s statement at the June 16 meeting about the budget being passed with a 9-percent increase in fees to the community. I do not believe Dawson listened to or comprehended what Mr. MacVittie was saying to the board. For Mr. Dawson to expect Mr. MacVittie to share his analysis of all the budget items in his allowed three minutes of input exhibits his inexperience as a director. I would like to repeat what I believe Mr. MacVittie was trying to get across to the directors: Why did this board have to pass a budget with an $800,000 increase over last year and was only able to delete line items worth $19,000? And, with $3 million in reserves, why did this board pass on a 9-percent increase to the rate-
members are painfully aware that the city is facing possible bankruptcy if more tax dollars don’t start rolling in. So they have placed a half-cent sales tax measure on the ballot in an attempt to bring in $4 million per year for eight years – despite objections by Antioch’s business leaders that it would hurt business. Just hours after placing that tax on the ballot, the council slapped down Walmart – a business that has been pouring tens of thousands of sales-tax dollars into city coffers every year for 10 years. That’s the wrong message to send when you’re trying to attract new businesses to Antioch. The result could be a lawsuit by Walmart – the defense of which could bankrupt the city – or that Walmart will close its Antioch store and move to where it’s welcomed, such as Oakley. Council members are scheduled to take final action to deny the Walmart expansion on Aug. 17. We hope they’ll reconsider and allow what has been recommended by their own city staff and been unanimously approved by the Planning Commission. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

payers in these difficult fiscal times? Why did Mr. Dawson, treasurer, rubberstamp the budget without doing more to ease the burden of increasing the rates to the public? Dawson uses the excuse that Veolia Water is raising its rate by 19 percent. In Dawson’s world that means the district passes the increase on to those who pay the tax, and Dawson has not paid the county tax bill. He has lived in Discovery Bay for less than two years, owns no property and doesn’t pay these fees that he rubberstamped. Director Piepho and Supervisor Mary Piepho should have considered this before befriending him and appointing him to the CSD last fall. Dawson has no firsthand knowledge of this, but in the real world, experienced board members take steps to control contract negotiations with their key vendors. Did the board investigate other providers, look for alternatives, manage the contract and budget schedule proactively, or even attempt to negotiate? I believe not. Dawson voted to rubberstamp the new proposal, then approve the new budget and pass on the rate increase to his taxpaying constituents. Dawson attempts to make himself look like he is watching the cookie jar of a fine-tuned machine. Actually, this district has been fined and has wasted more than a half million dollars in wastewater violations (many recently). No,
in this new budget, we are paying a new highly qualified general manager and another $93,000 plus for a wastewater and drinking water manager who doesn’t have wastewater or water operator state certifications. The district is forced to depend on Veolia Water for state licensing just to operate the facilities. It is no wonder Veolia raised its rates, but it is a shame that Dawson doesn’t recognize the situation for what it is: a district in need of a new, businesslike approach. We shouldn’t expect him to be part of the solution in these tough times. The voters need to replace him with experienced leadership in November. Carol Jackson Discovery Bay

America’s habit, Mexico’s war
Drugs, violence cross the border
by Corey Hunt Correspondent
This is the third in a series of reports by Brentwood resident Corey Hunt tracing the impact of Mexican drug trafficking from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico to East Contra Costa County. This week, Hunt’s story crosses the border as he reports on what he found in and around Phoenix, Ariz. For parts One and Two, log on to www.thepress. net. America has always been known as a place of refuge and security among people all over the world. It is the place where the victims of some of the world’s worst tragedies can start over again and put the past behind them. There is law and order. People can live the lifestyle they choose without fear of being snatched off the street when they step outside their homes. At least that’s the way it’s supposed to be. A city that the Los Angeles Times estimated sees 1,000 kidnappings per year would seem like a place whose citizens

But the rude awakening for the sprawling urban area and proximity to industrialized world is that this city can- the Mexican border have made it the ideal not be written off as a poverty-stricken distribution center for massive shipments shantytown in the developing world: it’s of illicit substances that arrive from Mexthe fifth largest metropolitan area in the ico, including Ciudad Juarez, the murder capital of Mexico and the flashpoint in the United States – Phoenix, Ariz. Phoenix lies at the center of the drug global drug war. While a growing demand
for drugs have turned Ciudad Juarez into an urban killing field, the $30 billion industry has raised kidnapping to alarming levels in Phoenix. But it’s a different kind of violence – refined, targeted, and suited to its goals north of the border. The police headquarters in downtown Phoenix is only 400 miles from the Federales Headquarters in Ciudad Juarez, but it seems like an entire world away – and in terms of third and first world, it is. Sgt. Tommy Thompson, a police officer with more than 16 years of anti-narcotics experience, said the drug cartels operating in Mexico cannot get away with their ruthless shoot-first, ask-questions-later mentality in the United States, where most of their customers and profits are located. “We are aware that the cartels control everything in Mexico,” said Thompson. “Just about everything (drugs) on the streets of Phoenix comes from Mexico. It’s almost a given. We have drug traffickers, but nowhere do I know of a specific cartel operating in Phoenix. It’s easy to understand why. Think of El Chapo Guzman and his rivals as Costco. They want the money and don’t care which gang of local drug dealers comes down to buy from them.” I ask Thompson about the kidnapsee Drugs page 19A

Drugs from page 18A pings that have been taking place in Phoenix. He states that there are generally two kinds of kidnap victims: illegal immigrants who have been kidnapped by their handlers or drug dealers and their family members who have been abducted by rivals. In both cases, they’re usually extorted for money. “Sometimes, immigrants are smuggled over the border only to be kidnapped and held hostage by the coyotes – human smugglers – who get them over,” said Thompson. “Often, another group of coyotes will steal them. We’ve found 50 to 60 people being held hostage by armed men in drophouses.” Thompson added that those abducted are often in rough shape when they’re rescued. Then there are the kidnaps for ransom. Thompson said these are more complicated because so many go unreported – either because the families are afraid of retribution from the kidnappers or are afraid the police will discover their own illicit business. In many cases, the ransoms are paid and the victims are released – though it doesn’t always end so cleanly. “There are occasions where they are tortured … it’s brutal stuff. There’s nothing more horrifying than hearing your relative being tortured over the phone,” said Thompson. This, he added, can be effective in getting a ransom payment. To fight back against kidnapping, the Phoenix Police Department created HIKE (Home Invasion Kidnapping Enforcement) in the fall of 2008. The unit appears to have seen some success, as the level of reported kidnappings has dipped. However, the actual number of kidnappings taking place is not known. Almost 360 were reported in 2008, but that is thought to represent only about a third of the incidents. “We get about 30 to 40 percent being reported, and that’s being conservative. There’s probably much more,” said Thompson. The problems are branching out past Phoenix. A walk through the neighboring city of Tempe reveals a laid-back college town with small bars, pizza parlors and bike shops centered around Arizona State University. Yet even here, drug traffickers have found ways to operate. Last year, the Tempe Police Department conducted a raid after a nine-month investigation, seizing hundreds of pounds of methamphetamine and cocaine along with dozens of guns – including assault rifles – and more than $1.5 million in cash, according to Officer Steven Carbajal and a press release put out by the department in December. “We have been proactive in identifying, locating and arresting those dealers who have chosen to peddle their poison in our city,” said Carbajal. Despite their complex networks throughout the demographics of Phoenix and its suburbs, it is the Hispanic community that often suffers.

the victims of violence in Ciudad Juarez, I learned that the market had been raided last year by agents under the command of Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who is both loved and hated, depending on which side of the immigration debate you find yourself on. According the Sheriff’s Office, some vendors were selling smuggled goods such as DVDs and other electronics. “Phoenix has long enjoyed its Hispanic heritage,” said Thompson. “The drug traffickers and other gangs take advantage of this and exploit our community to blend in among the population.” Corey Hunt can be reached at his email address unitedworld.ch@gmail.com.

Farmers’ Market gets stamps of approval The Somersville Towne Center Farmers’ Market is offering food stamp recipients a special incentive this summer: Spend at least $10 in SNAP (food stamps) at the market, and receive $5 for free to spend at the market. “Our goal is to encourage SNAP recipients to take advantage of fresh, locally-grown fruits and vegetables,” said Sarah Nelson, Special Projects coordinator for the Pacific Coast Farmers’ Market Association. “By offering an incentive that lowers the price of fresh produce, we are helping shoppers stretch their food dollars while keeping their families healthy.” The incentive program began in June and continues through the end of August. The market has already seen a 100-percent increase in SNAP redemption. “I’ve been managing different farmers’ market for over 10
years and I’ve always made it a point to bring together all the diversity in the surrounding areas,” said PCFMA Market Operations Manager Vince Scalise. “A lot of people don’t know that they can use their food stamps at the market.” Community outreach volunteers have been visiting social service offices, low-income housing sites, schools and clinics, handing out flyers and educating staff and clients about the program. This effort at the Somersville Towne Center Farmers’ Market is funded by Kaiser Permanente Diablo Region. The Somersville Towne Center Farmers’ Market is open every Sunday through Nov. 21 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. between Macy’s and Sears on Delta Fair Blvd. For more information about the project, call Sarah Nelson at 925-825-9090 or e-mail sarahnelson@pcfma.com.
Patrons who spend $10 in SNAP vouchers (food stamps) at the Somersville Towne Center Farmers’ Market can now get $15 worth of fresh produce, such as these plums.
Hospice volunteers receive by giving “Destiny is not necessarily what we get out of life, but rather, what we give.” – Cary Grant That giving nature Cary Grant spoke of is what helps make Hospice of the East Bay thrive, and the organization is pleased to acknowledge it. Hospice honored its volunteers with a reception and awards ceremony this past month. “The appreciation event was an opportunity to thank all our outstanding volunteers for the work they do all year
long,” said Hospice of the East Bay CEO Cindy Hatton. “Volunteers do everything from providing hospice patients companionship and support to helping with home maintenance and repair to sorting merchandise at one of our six thrift stores.” Volunteers have been an essential part of Hospice of the East Bay from its beginnings in 1977. At that time, all medical and support staff were volunteers who worked out of donated office space. Over the years, demand for servic-

Today, Hospice has nearly 300 volunteers who are, as in the beginning, essential members of the care team. “Why do I volunteer for Hospice of the East Bay?

Residents from page 1A Randa Reynolds, her husband Kevin and sons Nathan, 3, and Carter, 9 months, attended a gathering hosted by Kathy Strauseer and Yildiz Karaibrahimoglu on Torrey Pines Way. Reynolds said her family had moved to Brentwood from Pleasant Hill about 18 months ago, and in addition to the security that comes with knowing your neighbors, there are practical, day-to-day benefits as well: She recently discovered a playmate for Nathan who lives just down the street, and the skills of her neighbor across the street came in handy helping to repair a broken window. One of the larger gatherings was held at Summerset 4, where Jim and Joan Carter arranged for their Boulevard Nights car club to attend, filling the community center parking lot with shiny chrome and brilliant paint. Inside, artist Saunie Fridley and her fellow artists put on an expansive art show, while barbecued tri-tip dinners were served outside. More than 100 people were on hand, and anyone who missed it will get another chance next year. “This is our first annual Neighborhood Night,” said Joan Carter. “We’re going to do it every year.” Across town on Honeysuckle Court, children decorated swords and shields to “fight back” against crime and strengthen the already-strong neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships, said Darlene Spaulding. Brentwood Police Capt. Brian Strock handed out stickers and tattoos to members of the self-described “Honeysuckle Gang,” as well as a few signatures to boot. The “kids were so excited they asked for his autographs,” Spaulding said by e-

The kids will have a free run of the place. You will have urban decay at that shopping center. There will be no shopping center any more.” There was also a large, but not quite as vocal, contingent of Walmart employees who told the council their store is a great place to work with good benefits, and they welcome the advancement opportunities and 85 new jobs that managers say would come with the store’s expansion. Numerous residents, including community and business leaders, also asked the council to approve the expansion. Kalinowski voted for the Walmart

mail. “Target in Antioch donated chalk for all the kids to play with. Then we had a build-your-own sundae dessert bar, all right in our driveway!” Community Service Officer Michele Keady, who also runs the city’s Neighborhood Watch program, helped the groups put on the events and coordinate officials’ visits. Asked for an example of how Neighborhood Watch helped fight crime, she didn’t hesitate. “A resident on St. Regis Place observed a suspicious car and called us, and another one saw someone kick in a door and called,” she said. Police arrived before the burglary was completed and the suspects took off down the street. “Neighbors had a phone in one hand, calling each other, and another phone in their other hand, calling us and telling us where (the fleeing suspects) were,” she said. The resulting arrests were among the most gratifying rewards she gets, and did a lot for the neighbors as well. “They were excited to be involved, to be part of the process,” she said. “The experience bonded them even more. They did it, instead of just talking about being involved.” Keady said she’s hoping even more Neighborhood Watch groups will form. Call her at 925-634-6911 for more information. Tuesday’s activities also included gatherings on Presidio Court, Waterville Drive, Turnhouse Court, Corrie Court, Inverness Drive, the Marsh Creek Apartments, the Arbor Ridge Apartments, Brampton Place, Snapdragon Way, Collis Street, Chelmsford Drive and Chaucer Drive.

Byron Highway head-on
Photo by Richard Wisdom
wo drivers were killed and another injured Saturday afternoon when a Toyota pickup truck crossed over the double yellow lines on Byron Highway near Herdlyn Road and crashed head-on into a GMC pickup truck. The driver of the GMC, Tracy resident Ernesto Licea, 40, was traveling northbound south of Herdlyn Road when Tracy resident Jessie Fetalino Bandiola, 31, collided with Licea. Bandiola died at the scene and Licea was airlifted to John Muir Medical Center, where he died of his injuries. Above, firefighters use the Jaws of Life as they attempt to free one of the victims. The cause of the accident is still under investigation, according to CHP Officer Mike Wright.

makes more sense not only for the parolees, but the staff and officers as well. Brentwood has its own parolees, he said, but they don’t require a location staffed with 17 officers. “We could support one, maybe one and a half,” he said. Bridgewater confirmed that the letter was a 60-day notice beginning an
evaluation process that would include talks with the Brentwood Police Department and City Council. He did not know what site the CDCR was considering, or how far the evaluation had progressed. Several calls to the Oakland CDCR office from which the letter was sent were not returned.
The letter, dated June 29, said the CDCR guidelines for parole offices include it being a minimum of one-quarter mile from K-8 schools, parks and bus stops used exclusively for children. “I think our guidelines might be a little tougher,” Richey said. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.
expansion this time, despite the store’s management having funded an advertising campaign against him in the 2008 election after he had denied the first expansion request. He noted that Walmart had addressed all of his original concerns with its revised expansion proposal. “It would be, I think, inappropriate or I wouldn’t be holding my position and responsibility in a true ethical standard to create another reason why I wouldn’t support this project,” said Kalinowski. “Kind of like a ‘smoke and mirrors’ approach. If I said this EIR was … flawed it would be less than genuine on my part, and I would have an ethical dilemma.” But Moore, who said calls and emails to him were 3-1 or 4-1 against the expansion, said the EIR is inadequate on a number of scores, but mainly that it doesn’t adequately address the grocery workers’ concerns about losing their jobs. “What happened to the middle class in America?” he asked. “Single moms raising
families on one income speaking about how this job is important to me and my community. That struck me. The middle class in America is diminishing day by day. As a country we have to do something to turn that around. “I believe we turn that around with good paying, good benefited jobs. I have a strong belief in that area. Reagan said a rising tide rises all ships. I really believe that. We have an obligation to turn around this drive to the bottom and lust for low prices because we have no other opportunities. We are making wages that force us to look for the cheapest price. How we turn that around as a society – I don’t have all the answers. We have seen so many jobs shipped overseas. The downsizing of the economy is rough.” Rocha shared the concern about the loss of good-paying jobs. “I truly can’t believe this will not affect the other stores … when you have something that’s close to so many,” she said. “I cannot believe
how you can trade one group for a small amount of money with another group of people making a living wage. This is what bothers me. I have to vote how I feel. I know it’s the right thing for me and the community; what’s important for families. It will displace a lot of people. We cannot afford it right now. The livelihood of our families is very important.” City Manager Jim Jakel offered to provide the council with more explanation from the EIR consultants on their finding that opening a Walmart grocery department would not lead to urban decay in Antioch, but the council did not take him up on it. Because city staff had not prepared a resolution to deny Walmart’s expansion (staff had recommended approval after the Planning Commission voted 7-0 to approve it), the council is scheduled to officially deny the expansion at its Aug. 17 meeting, based on findings drawn up by City Attorney Lynn Tracy Nerland.

Ajax United sweep highlighted by OT Fresh off the heels of a finals appearance at the US Club National Cup Regionals in Ripon, Ajax United East Bay 99G competitive girls soccer team from the Brentwood area beat several formidable opponents en route to taking the recent Diablo FC Summer Classic tournament championship. In the opening games, the Ajax girls beat the host Diablo FC Black 10-1 and Diablo FC Blue U12 4-0. The Ajax defense, led by midfielders Delanie Sheehan, Tessa Cortez, Shania Dean and Lauren Sisneros, was stifling in both matches, augmented by the strong backfield defense of Robin McCarthy, Lynzie Hudson, Kyleen Nelson, Carolyn Buxton and goalkeepers Caylin Stanley and Michaela Vanderklugt. The Ajax girls were explosive on offense, spearheaded by multiplegoal-scorers Devyn Gilfoy, Sheehan, Toni Melissare, Dean, Julie Tapia and Sisneros. The competition got tougher on day two of the tournament, as Ajax faced the Livermore Fusion Maroon U12. Both teams played hard-nosed defense, and the match ended

in a 0-0 tie. As the only undefeated team in the tournament, the Ajax girls advanced to the championship match as the No. 1 seed versus the Diablo FC 98 girls premiere team. The championship match was another hard-fought contest, featuring high-contact play from both sides. Once again, the Ajax defense stood strong, limiting Diablo FC a mere handful of shots on goal. Offensively, Ajax shots continued to miss their mark, flying just wide and high of the Diablo goal on several occasions. The championship game ended in a 0-0 tie and went to overtime. Despite two five-minute overtime halves, neither team could put the ball on net, and the game was decided on penalty kicks. Each player lined up to alternately take her shot at victory, and the Ajax shooters took the match easily, thanks to goals from Dean, Sheehan and Melissare. The player of the game, however, was Ajax goalkeeper Vanderklugt, as she turned away two of Diablo’s first three shots to secure the victory. – Contributed by Shawn Gilfroy
Antioch Speedway features clash of class by Jack Menges Correspondent Talent was on prominent display at the Antioch Speedway last weekend, when two drivers at the top of their game split honors in the co-features. In the dirt modifieds it was Scott Busby, who has built a legendary reputation in his division over Northern California tracks. Busby doesn’t race as much as when he was the king of Grand American racing.
However, the Martinez businessman still can show the younger drivers some excellent racing techniques when the chips are down. At the completion of the dirt modified main event last weekend, it was Busby finishing ahead of Jeff Thomas and Chester Kniss. The winner of the wingless sprint main event survived some yellow flag action in the closing laps of the race, as four racers were knocked out with five laps to go and three more fell victim on the last lap. That left Rowdy McClenon, who calls
the Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico his home track, to take the checkered flag. Veteran former champion Jim Perry took second and championship contender David Press finished third. The dirt modifieds will return to action Saturday night and be joined by the super stocks, dwarf cars, four bangers and hard tops. Dirt Modifieds: Heat Winners – Chester Kniss and Troy Foulgers; Main Event – Scott Busby, Jeff Thomas and Kniss. Wingless
Sprints: Roy Fisher and Tommy Laliberte; Main Event – Rowdy McClenon, Jim Perry and David Press. Pure Stocks: Heat Winners – Dan McCown and Wes Bentley; Main Event – Brad Myers, Jim Freetheys and Bentley. Mini Trucks: Heat Winner – Travis Dutra; Main Event – Dutra, Dean Cline and Ron Mayberry.

Pole Vault from page 1B than a crossbar to mark the height that the vaulters must surmount in practice. “Landing on that crossbar can hurt,” said Ambrose. “It takes the fear out of it and lets them not worry about that. Then they can work on some things to practice.” This is the second year Ambrose has sponsored what is known as a street vault. Last year it was in Brentwood City Park, which is unavailable this year due to construction of the new City Hall. The vaulters ranged in age from 10 to 54, and last year included the NCAA Division II champion. Streets General Manager Tracey Nobil was happy to welcome the vaulters to the center. “We have the opportunity to be a really unique venue,” she said. “We do a lot of interesting things out here. We’ve got the soccer field. We’ve got musicals this summer. We have a concert series. We are able to interact with the community in a lot of different ways. In addition to, of course, wonderful stores, restaurants and a fabulous place just to be. So we are happy to be able to participate with everybody. It’s a great community. So the more we can do and the more interesting things we can do – it’s really getting Brentwood’s name out there.”
Although it’s a lot of work to set up all of the pole vault equipment, Ambrose – who can still vault himself with the help of several Advil to ease the pain from past sports injuries – was glad to put on the event. “Years ago in Clovis they started a street vault, and it really got a cult following,” he said. “And pole vaulters are kind of that way anyways. So any time they have a chance to vault some place different, some place special, they usually flock to it. It’s just a fun activity. Vaulters love to do these kinds of things. It’s just a way to promote the sport.” It’s a sport that almost disappeared at the high school level. “Pole vault about 15 years ago was really on its way to being banned from the high schools,” he said. “They were getting about two deaths a year (nationwide from) missing pits, landing in the box. So they have done a lot of things to help make it safer, help educate the coaches. Because a lot of times the coaches didn’t really know what they were doing.” In case you missed it, Ambrose plans to do the street vault again Labor Day weekend at the Streets. “It promotes the sport, puts it in the spotlight and makes it visible to the public,” he said.

Sports are important; keep them out of trouble.” In addition to keeping kids out of trouble, sports help bond them with their school’s community, according to Clare. “Freshman sports is the lead-in for the young people; connects them up with high school,” he said. “It’s extremely important for young people to get connected and get involved in activities such as sports their freshman year, so they have a good four years of high school. It connects them to the high school experience.” In between dunks, Halloran cited the
motivation that sports provide for kids to keep up their studies or risk losing eligibility to participate. “A lot of students, a lot of athletes, do better in school with sports just because they have to maintain grade point average,” he said. “So they generally get better grades. If that’s the reason they come to school, that’s what gets them to school.” Scheduled to follow Halloran in the dunk tank were Heritage Principal Andy Parsons, Freedom Principal Eric Faulkner and Assistant Superintendent Eric Volta.

Mr. San Jose Antioch resident Tim Hammett recently earned the title of 2010 Mr. San Jose Overall Champion, a premier Bay Area bodybuilding event. The win qualifies Tim to compete in national bodybuilding events leading to professional status. This year’s competition had HAMMETT special meaning for Tim, as he honored his good friend Dan “Danco” Zamora, an award-winning East Contra Costa bodybuilder who died of pancreatic cancer in December of 2008. Inspired by his friend’s courage and his lifelong commitment to bodybuilding, Tim decided last year that he’d return to the competitive sport to “win one for Danco.” Growing up in Antioch and training for 25 years, Tim is no stranger to the disciplined world of competitive bodybuilding. Since he last competed in 2005, Tim needed to get into top physical shape for the Mr. San Jose championship. According to Tim, “Competitive bodybuilding is about fitness and a healthy lifestyle. Not only does it take regimented workouts and heavy weight training, but also a special diet of high protein, low carbs and minimal good fats.” Tim trained with weights for an hour and a half and did two hours of cardio – every day for seven months. Food was another important component of his training regime, requiring up to two hours per day of preparation and cooking for the high-protein meals he needed every two to three hours each day. Tim acknowledges the support from family and friends, especially his girlfriend, Jessika Green, who helped prepare his special diet with foods such as six 9-ounce servings of Tilapia every day. Tim’s advice to those interested in competitive bodybuilding is “you must live the sport, commit to the weight training, stay true to your diet and have a very supportive team behind you.” Tim’s support team included his colleagues at Delta Diablo Sanitation District, where he works as a Collections System Worker II. Tim’s next competition is Mr. USA in July of 2011. You can follow his journey to the national stage at his Web site: www. tbonehammett.com. – Contributed by Angela Lowrey

Just horsing around Freedom High School senior Brittany Craker has qualified for the United States Pony Club’s Championships West at the Woodside Horse Park. United States Pony Clubs is a national nonprofit youth equestrian organization. Brittany and her horse, Dylan, will represent the Middle California Region on the Novice Eventing Team during the weeklong championship competition. Each Pony Club region in the Western United States will send two eventing teams at each level to the championships. Brittany completed the qualifying process last May at the Middle California Regional Qualifying Eventing Rally in Woodside, where her team took first place in Horse Management and fourth overall in Eventing. Brittany also competed successfully at the Ram Tap Winter Horse Trials in Fresno and Twin Rivers International Spring Horse Trials in Paso Robles as part of the qualifying pro-
cess for championships. The sport of Three-day Eventing, one of eight disciplines offered by the United States Pony Clubs, has evolved into an exciting sport attracting all levels of sports enthusiasts. Eventing is an equestrian triathlon, featuring the three phases of Dressage, Cross-country and Show Jumping. Brittany has been a member of the Clayton Canyon Pony Club, a local chapter of United States Pony Clubs, for the past six years. She is also a member of the United States Eventing Association (USEA) and competes in recognized three-day event horse trials. Brittany has been training with Dylan, an off-the-track thoroughbred gelding, for the past two years under the instruction of Janelle and Heidi Riddle of Half Halt Farms in Martinez. While not in training, Brittany boards Dylan at B&B Quarter Horses in Brentwood. – Contributed by Karen Twyford

Sutter Delta received the 2010 Emergency Medicine Excellence Award from HealthGrades, which studied emergency medicine in 4,970 hospitals across the nation. As a group, Sutter Delta and the other award recipients recorded a 39 percent lower mortality rate for the 11 conditions studied. “We are very proud of our physicians,
nurses and support staff,” said Sutter Delta CEO Gary Rapaport. “They work day in and day out to provide our patients the highest quality health care. This award is a direct result of their commitment to superior patient care – from ED visits to hospital admissions and all the way through discharge.” The study examined 5 million Medicare patients who were admitted to an emergency department with any of the 11 most critical diagnoses, which include heart attack, pulmonary embolisms, diabetic emergencies, respiratory failure, strokes, gastrointestinal bleeding, sepsis and pneu-
monia. And it followed patients admitted to the hospital from the ED. “The HealthGrades study wasn’t limited to our Emergency Department,” said Dr. Brion Pearson, vice president of Medical Affairs at Sutter Delta. “Since it followed patients admitted to the hospital from the ED, the ranking also speaks to the quality of care received by our patients throughout the entire hospital.” According to the HealthGrades study, hospitals receiving the Emergency Medicine Excellence Award averaged a 38.97 percent lower risk-adjusted mortality rate than other hospitals. That means if all hospitals emulat-
ed Sutter Delta, 118,014 people could have potentially survived their emergency hospitalization over the three-year study period. “With the CDC showing that 50 percent of hospital admissions are now beginning with hospital emergency rooms, it’s more important than ever for hospitals to reach the level of excellence achieved by those in the top 5 percent of this study,” said Dr. Rick May, a vice president with HealthGrades and co-author of the study. “Those living in a community with a top 5 percent hospital in emergency medicine should feel extremely confident that, should an emergency arise, they will receive top-notch care.”

Lightning champ to strike at Cap’s Hawaiian comic Sean Peabody will perform at Cap’s Oak Street Bar & Grill, 144 Oak St. in Brentwood, on Friday, Aug. 13 at 9 p.m. Admission to the show is $10. Peabody recently took home first place at the NorCal Lightning Comedy Challenge at Tre Restaurant and Lounge in Sacramento. Vallejo resident Peabody
won the room instantly with a hilarious account of life with teen children who believe that music didn’t exist before the iPod. His high-energy but teddy-bear sensibility had the crowd eating out of his hand in the second round when he announced, to no surprise, “I love food! And so do you!” He was right. The judges also loved Peabody.
