When life became stagnant for East County resident Annie Martin four years ago, one decision to help change lives changed her own. Inspired by her mother, Gail Martin, whose work with guide dogs 20 years earlier left them both with fond memories, Annie had an idea. “I was stagnant at work and felt like I wanted to do something for my community,” said Annie. “So I asked my mom, ‘What do you think about raising (guide dogs) again?’” The two attended classes and met with industry insiders like Lois Caldwell, and soon Annie see Dogs page 26

Five-year contract for fire chief by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer
The East Contra Costa Fire Protection District Board recently approved a five-year contract with Fire Chief Brian Helmick. Helmick will earn $15,750 a month ($189,000 a year) for about the next year and a half and will be eligible for 5 percent raises each July, beginning 2019, contingent upon him receiving satisfactory performance reviews. If the raises are granted, Helmick will earn $229,746 a year at the height of the contract, beginning July 2022. He previously received $11,758.07 a month, plus benefits, since being named interim chief in March. He took over the permanent position in October. Former Chief Hugh Henderson was earning $11,637 a month when he retired in early 2017 after 12 years with the district. “I am excited that the district has decided to invest in me as the next fire chief,” Helmick said. “I am the fifth fire chief of

Fire Chief Brian Helmick East Contra Costa, and I do not take this opportunity or privilege lightly … Obviously, it’s a huge honor and privilege, but it comes with a ton of responsibility.” Joe Young, chair of the district board’s finance subcommittee, said that even with Helmick’s salary increase, his pay is currently only the 10th highest among 15 agencies in and out of the county, according to a recent fire chief salary survey. The salaries ranged from $13,737 to $20,417 a month, Young said. “This does represent a good salary increase,” Young said. “However, we are no-
where near the top of the 15 agencies … Chief Helmick is very deserving of this, based on the excellent performance he has offered us since he took over as chief.” Helmick will guide the organization during a precarious time. The district’s long-term budget is sound, but it allows only three stations serving over 114,000 residents over 249 square miles to be staffed. An independent 2016 deployment performance and headquarters staffing adequacy study recommended the district have nine stations. Despite the staffing shortage, Helmick has moved the district forward since he took the reins of the department in April. He helped uncover $6.2 million in an account that was erroneously left behind when the district transferred its funds and financial operations from the county to the district; he jump-started an effort to complete 2014-2015 and 2016-2017 budget

Bend it in Brentwood by Dawnmarie Fehr Correspondent
This month, Brentwood will be the scene of a soccer game played with an official Manchester United (MU) team ball. Brentwood resident Chris Guidry won the opportunity to host a soccer game with a dedicated match ball the team is sending around the world in a global promotion. “This was something they advertised on social media – you click on it, fill it out and send it off and assume you’re never going to hear anything,” Guidry said. “Then a representative from Manchester in England called me and got this thing started. It’s just a cool thing that’s happening. The ball we’re going to play with was played with in Saudi Arabia, India, Europe, all over the East Coast and Canada.” Commonly referred to in Europe as ‘football,’ soccer is one of the most popular sports on the planet, and MU is giving its fans the opportunity to host games in their own hometowns. Megan Gervais, the MU representative who has been working
with Guidry, explained that the club wanted to deliver a piece of the Manchester team to fans all over the world. “We are creating opportunities for fans to play a match with one football, which will continuously tour the world,” Gervais explained. “The football tour officially began at Old Trafford where players sent the ball on its journey worldwide – where it has now been played in nearly 40 matches.” She added that Guidry was chosen because his love of the sport stood out so clearly in his application. After hosting his game, Guidry will be entered to win a trip to watch the team play in its home stadium, Old Trafford. The ball on its way to Guidry has already traveled thousands of miles. It will be delivered to Guidry with goals and cones to set up a soccer field. A lifelong fan of the team, Guidry grew up watching MU play on TV. He is now passing on that tradition to his family. Guidry’s wife, Marchelle, will be at the game taking pictures of their three children playing with friends and family. “This is a really exciting opportunity for Chris, specifically – our lifetime Manchester United fan gets to play a match with a piece of their game history,” Marchelle said. “How rad!” For the game’s location, Guidry turned to his high school alma mater, Deer Valley.

Local fan to host soccer game with MU match ball
Photo by Tony Kukulich
Lifelong soccer enthusiast Chris Guidry won the chance to host a soccer game with a dedicated match ball from Manchester United. The ball is making its way around the globe via a promotion by Manchester United. “I used to coach cheerleading there, my friend teaches over there, so they let me use the practice field,” he said. “It’s a good spot.” Guidry numbers among the 75 million fans that MU boasts worldwide. The soccer team, also known as the Red Devils, was founded in 1878 and has won a record of 20 league titles. The team has always made an effort to be part of the worldwide soccer community and support its fans. “I grew up playing soccer, I love the
game and I think what they’re doing is great,” Guidry said. “They’re just trying to spread the love of the game, and it’s a game I’ve played all my life. I like that they’re passing that on.” The final game on the ball’s tour will be played in April. Until then, fans can follow the ball’s journey on social media, using the #DHLUnitedDelivered hashtag.

Bay Area prom fashion show hits the Brentwood runway at J. James Bridal by Amy Schrader Correspondent
With prom season just around the corner, it’s time for high school students to search for the perfect dress, shoes, jewelry or tuxedo. Prom Palooza, a prom fashion show, can make that search effortless and fun. The event, hosted by J. James Bridal in Brentwood and Heritage High School’s varsity cheer squad, takes place Jan. 27, from 1 to 4 p.m., in Heritage High School’s multipurpose room. Seniors from over 10 different East Bay and Central Valley high schools will model this year’s hottest prom fashion trends as they walk the runway. “We thought about how much fun it would be to bring people to one location to plan one of the most memorable nights in a high schooler’s life: prom,” said Michele Lucay, Brentwood resident and parent of a Heritage High School varsity cheerleader. According to Crystal Rice-Morfin, manager of J. James Bridal, this year’s fashion trends will sparkle and shine. “Rose gold is a very hot color that is an elegant touch for the season,” said Rice-Morfin. “Metallic and sparkle are always favorites. Something new this year is a lot of requests for ball gowns, which is different from the typical silhouette from previous years.” Besides showcasing the latest trends in designer prom gowns and tuxedos, the event will also include local vendors ready to book appointments for all things prom-related while offering a special discount for attendees. “We have hair stylists, Lipsense representatives, nails, makeup artists, skin care, photographers, jewelry, tanning,

brows and floral and prom-related accessories,” said Lucay. “We are hoping to confirm limo companies and food vendors as well.” Those who attend will also have the opportunity to win a free prom dress or tuxedo rental package from J. James Bridal. “Each vendor will also be doing their own giveaways and event specials,” said Rice-Morfin, who added that J. James Bridal will be transformed into prom central. “We are working closely with designers to have gowns that will be setting the bar high for prom trends, and we hand pick our gowns that are cost effective and inclusive of all sizes.” Proceeds from the event benefit the Heritage High
School varsity competitive cheer team, which is heading to Orlando and Anaheim this February to attend nationals. Team members are looking forward to the event. “I’m so excited to work with girls from all over the Bay Area,” said Heritage senior Mandy Lucay. “This is such a great opportunity to get ready for prom and help support our team.” Prom Palooza is Saturday, Jan. 27, from 1 to 4 p.m., in Heritage High School’s multipurpose room, 101 American Ave., Brentwood. Tickets are $10 in advance or $15 at the door. To purchase tickets, visit www.gofan.co/app/events/19930 or contact Dianna Gonsalves at 925-382-2852.

Rotary building blocks to brighter futures Rotarian Tom Hartrick hands Rotary Club of the Delta President Mike Green, seen on the ladder, a brick to place on the expanding structure that will become a family’s home in San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico. The two were part of a Rotarian effort to help bring relief to this poverty-torn area.
by Aly Brown Staff Writer
In keeping with the motto of ‘Service Above Self,’ Antioch’s Rotary Club of the Delta members have been working overtime to help others in their own community and beyond. And with 2017’s theme being ‘Making a Difference,’ Rotary President Mike Green was excited about two particular projects – senior outreach and a trip to Mexico to build houses. “I have a great Rotary club,” said Green. “We do really neat things in the community, and I’m proud to be a member.” The senior outreach effort is coordinated through Episcopal Senior Services, which generates a list of seniors in need of home repairs. Green and his team venture to different homes on the weekends to help. He said the work is as light as changing light bulbs or smoke-detector batteries and as heavy as replacing a leaky sink faucet or mending a downed pergola. “The cool thing is that even those members of the club who don’t feel they have a lot of skill are finding themselves to be helpful by sitting with the senior and talking to them while the job is completed,” he said. “The seniors love the help, and we’ve run into really incredible people.” Another undertaking that wrapped up in late December was a voyage to San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico, to build homes and supply drinking water. The members wrote to Rotary Interna-

tional for a building grant and were able to purchase a compressed earth block-making machine and a reverse osmosis water purification system, which would help provide usable drinking water at an inexpensive price.
“We started making giant concrete blocks with a little bit of cement, clay, sand and water,” said Green, who said the use of the plentiful sand in San Luis was not only more economical than cement but more en-
vironmentally friendly. “It’s less raw material. What we’ve also noticed is the homes we’ve built have typically been cool in the summer and warm in the winter.” A significant part of the Mexico trip for Green and other Rotarians who accompanied him was getting local youth involved and inspired to help their neighbors, no matter how far those neighbors may be. “New volunteers from 16 to 80 got to see how there are other ways of living in our world,” said Rotarian Tom Hartrick. “It is more important to raise awareness and show our youth, so they will be able to raise awareness for future generations until these living conditions are eliminated.” For Kevin Landski, Rotary presidentelect, who together with his wife and daughter has participated in multiple relief efforts in the region found the experience shaped his daughter as a person. “It had a profound impact on (my daughter) to see the depth and scale of poverty that exists down there,” said Hartrick. “It affected her so much that it became a frequent topic of discussion at home. Soon after that, our conversations have turned toward education, as she thinks that is the best way out of poverty.” Rotary Club of the Delta is always in need of extra helping hands.

County to enforce new tobacco sales laws
come in candy and fruit flavors that appeal to new, young smokers. A recent UC San Francisco study showed that many teens who vape would not have started smoking if only traditional tobacco products were available. Other research shows that teens who vape are four times more likely to begin smoking cigarettes a year later than those who do not. Under the new regulations, no new tobacco retailer licenses will be granted to businesses located within 1,000 feet of schools, parks, playgrounds or libraries or within 500 feet of another business that sells tobacco. Another provision adopted by the board of supervisors that bans sales of tobacco products in pharmacies won’t take effect until July 2018, after their tobacco retailer licenses expire. Retailers not complying with the new rules can be fined up to $500 for each day they are in violation and may face suspension or revocation of their tobacco retailer license. Contra Costa joins many other Bay Area cities and counties to prohibit the sale of flavored tobacco products, including Santa Clara and Yolo counties and the cities of El Cerrito, Novato, Los Gatos, San Francisco and Oakland. For more information, visit www. cchealth.org/tobacco.

So, you’re buying a brand-new home from a builder, and you are all excited. You get the call from the sales rep that it’s time for you to head down to pick out your options. You sit down with the rep and start going over the thousands of choices available to you, and your head starts to spin. A few hours later, you think you’ve got your dream house outfitted perfectly. Then, you get the total for all the lovely upgrades you’ve just picked out, and you just about faint! Now it’s time to cut back, and you start slashing and cutting in areas to get back under budget. Usually, the carpet is one of your larger upgrades, so you focus your attention there. You are faced with a choice of cutting back on the quality of the carpet or the quality of the pad. I’ve heard many buyers say, “Well, you can’t see the pad, so let’s cut back on that, so we can get the carpet we want.” I think that is a mistake! T ANNE VILLAG AIN

Do yourself a favor and go with the highest-level pad they have. Going with a higher quality pad will make your carpet FEEL like more expensive carpet. When your guests step onto your carpet, you want them to feel like they are sinking in. A better quality pad will also help your carpet last longer, which will pay you back in the long run. Upgrading the pad is not nearly as expensive as upgrading the carpet a few levels, and it will be money well spent! A warning – don’t be surprised if the higher-quality carpet pad is actually thinner material than the cheaper pad. It’s all in the material itself that provides more support and more of a feeling of depth, rather than the actual thickness of it.

New laws to protect youth from tobacco influences went into effect this month, and local health officials are enforcing the regulations. The regulations include prohibiting the sale of flavored tobacco products, such as menthol cigarettes and flavored e-liquids, within 1,000 feet of schools, parks, playgrounds and libraries in unincorporated parts of the county. The sale of cigars in pack sizes under 10 is also prohibited in unincorporated areas of the county, with cigars selling for $5 each excluded from the regulations. The Contra Costa Board of Supervisors passed new rules last summer, and retailers were given a period of time to prepare. The county’s Tobacco Prevention Program conducted education and outreach to all tobacco retailers in recent months to help ensure compliance with the new youth protections. A 2016 survey showed that more than 80 percent of stores licensed to sell tobacco located near schools in Contra Costa County carried flavored products, such as ‘watermelon’ or ‘tropical blast’ cigarillos or little cigars. Many small cigars and cigarillos are sold for less than $1, making them attractive and affordable for youth. The new regulations prohibit the sale of flavored ‘e-liquids’ for use with electronic smoking devices, which also

The California Geological Survey has released the first regulatory seismic hazard zone maps for Contra Costa County. The maps cover portions of the cities of Antioch, Brentwood and Oakley. These maps are released under the authority of the Seismic Hazards Mapping Act of 1990, which was passed following the devastating 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The act is a state law designed to reduce the threat to public safety and to minimize the loss of life and property by identifying and mitigating seismic hazards. Seismic hazard zones are regulatory zones that identify areas where the potential for liquefaction – or earthquake-induced landslides – is relatively high. Liquefaction is a condition in which strong shaking mixes groundwater with soil, causing the surface to temporarily soften. In turn, that can cause buildings and infrastructure to sink, tilt or even collapse. There are four maps covering parts of the county, including the Bouldin Island, Brentwood, Jersey Island and Woodward Island quadrangles. The maps delineate areas within which soil conditions, topography and the likelihood of future ground shaking indicate sufficient hazard potential to justify a site-specific geotechnical

Vaccination side effects Certain vaccinations for companion animals are recommended or required, depending on where the pet will live. Just like immunizations administered to humans, pet vaccinations are designed to help pets develop immunities to certain diseases. The American Veterinary Medical Foundation notes that vaccinations are often accompanied by mild side effects, but some pets might experience more serious reactions to some. Vaccines remain one of the most important weapons in the fight against infectious diseases in companion animals, but if the vaccine reactions prove to be worse than the disease itself, the ASPCA notes that pet owners will need to work with their veterinarians to determine the best course of action. Minor reactions to vaccinations may include local swelling at the vaccination site and some discomfort. Sneezing, mild coughing and low-grade fever also can be common. More serious side effects generally involve allergic reactions. Such reactions can last anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours. Some indicators of vaccine allergies in-

clude facial swelling, itching, weakness, difficulty breathing and even shock. According to the medical team at Petfinder.com, allergic reactions are often treated with antihistamines, epinephrine and supportive care. In combined vaccines, which are those that administer two or more vaccines in a single shot, it may be difficult to determine which vaccination triggered the allergic reaction or if the reaction was caused by a preservative or other foreign matter in the vaccine. It may be adviseable to have new pets receive only one vaccination at a time to best monitor reactions. If an allergy is noted, and the allergy arises again with revaccination or a booster shot, then steps must be taken to reduce the propensity for the reaction moving forward. This may include administering antihistamines prior to the vaccine. Animals can experience mild to serious side effects after receiving routine vaccinations. Pet owners should weigh the benefits of the vaccines with their veterinarians to develop the best health plan for their pets. – Courtesy Metro Creative

Volunteers needed for Mock Trial Bay Area soon-to-be, practicing and retired law professionals are needed to provide assistance at the upcoming 37th annual Contra Costa County High School Mock Trial Program held on seven weekday evenings during January and February at the Martinez Court Rooms. Last year, close to 100 Bay Area practicing and retired attorneys and sworn judges, as well as third-year law students volunteered their time with Mock Trial. Coordinated by the Contra Costa County Office of Education (CCCOE), Mock Trial is an academic event provided for high school students. The hands-on educational program was created to help students acquire a working knowledge of the U.S. judicial system, develop analytical abilities and communication skills, and gain an understanding of their obligations and responsibilities as participating members of society. This year’s case, People v. Davidson, is a criminal case involving first-degree murder and a pretrial argument on the Fourth Amendment. “I encourage all my fellow law professionals to join us in serving as Mock Trial judges and attorney scorers,” said Contra Costa County Presiding Judge Jill Fannin. “I have been volunteering with this program for over 15 years. I’m continually impressed with the dedication demonstrated by all the teams that participate in this challenging academic event. Every volunteer will tell you that the professionalism and skill these high school students demonstrate in our courtrooms
Area deputy district attorneys and deputy public defenders as well as public-sector, private-practice and corporate lawyers. In addition, seasoned law students are also welcome to participate. A practicing or retired judge or commissioner will preside over each trial and also serves as one of the trial’s scorers. Teams from the following 15 Contra Costa County high schools will compete: Acalanes (Lafayette), Alhambra (Martinez), California (San Ramon), Campolindo (Moraga), Clayton Valley Charter (Concord), De Anza High (Richmond), Deer Valley Law Academy (Antioch), El Cerrito (El Cerrito), Hercules Middle/High (Hercules), Heritage (Brentwood), Kennedy (Richmond), Miramonte (Orinda), Monte Vista (Danville), Pinole Valley (Pinole) and Richmond (Richmond). Schedule for 2018 Contra Costa County High School Mock Trials: -Preliminaries: Jan. 30; Feb. 1, 6 and 8, from 5 to 8 p.m. (Eight competitions each night) -Quarterfinals: Feb. 13, from 5 to 8 p.m. (Four competitions) -Semifinals: Feb. 15, 5 to 8 p.m. (Two competitions) -Final and Consolation: Feb. 20, 5 to 8 p.m. (Two competitions) Mock Trial will be headquartered at the A.F.

Students assume the roles of trial attorneys, pretrial motion attorneys, witnesses, clerks, bailiffs, artists and court journalists. Mock Trial judges and attorneys score their performance and provide immediate feedback. Winning teams advance through seven
rounds of competition. The county’s champion advances to the state finals. This year, there will be 15 Mock Trial teams competing, representing high schools throughout all of Contra Costa County. Volunteers will score two competing schools that argue the case in their assigned court.

”When Meals on Wheels and Senior Outreach Services determined the critical need to focus on recruitment of volunteers in East County to better serve the growing needs of seniors in that area, we turned to The Press. From start to finish, from administrative to editorial staff, The Press was easy to work with and extremely supportive toward building our media campaign. With a campaign focused on digital, social media and print, we promoted an information sharing event in Antioch that netted us more response than anything else we have tried for the purpose of recruitment. Thanks to The Press our event was a success we’re making a dent in our need and establishing a presence in East County. The Press works!“ – Susannah Meyer, Volunteer Specialist Meals on Wheels and Senior Outreach Services

Keeping Healthy in the New Year Adriana Sablan, DO John Muir Health
The new year is here, and we all want to make it our best yet. But where do we start? Every January, many patients come in seeking advice on how to begin and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Improving your health doesn’t need to be overwhelming. While there are many ways to increase healthy habits, I recommend starting with a few basic steps. Foster a relationship with primary care doctor It is important to establish a relationship with a primary care doctor. Your primary care doctor is essentially the cornerstone of everything related to your health. Start the year off by scheduling an appointment for your annual physical. During this visit, your doctor can determine what screenings and vaccines you
may need based on your age and health conditions. After your physical, you will be better informed about your current health status and can work with your primary care doctor on the next steps. Make time to exercise This is one of the most common questions I receive during January. Just how much exercise is needed? I tell my patients that exercise is beneficial for many reasons. For example, it can help lower blood pressure, strengthen your bones and can even improve your mood and help with stress and anxiety. If it has been a while since you exercised, don’t worry – even 30 minutes of brisk walking three to four times a week is a great place to start. Get Your ZZZZs I recommend that all of my patients try to get at least seven to eight hours of sleep at night. I realize this is not possible all the time. However, many people are sleep-deprived
and don’t even realize it. Sleep impacts many of the chemicals in our bodies. The positive effects of a good night’s rest include improved memory, decreased risk of dementia, lower stress levels, improved mood and increased life expectancy. Getting good quality and sufficient sleep is crucial for both your physical and mental health. Keep stress to a minimum Stress is something we all feel from time to time. It can make us cranky and sometimes anxious and moody. But did you know that stress can also cause physical symptoms in your body? High levels of stress can cause headaches, upset stomach and decreased energy, just to name a few. Recently, stress has been linked to a less effective immune system and more frequent colds and infections. Stress has also been associated with weight gain and cardiovascular disease. As I mentioned above, getting a good
night’s rest and exercise are both great at combating stress. I also like to talk with my patients about the benefits of breathing exercises and meditation, which are scientifically proven to help lower stress levels. While stress is sometimes unavoidable, it’s good to have tools to help recognize the effect it’s having on you and tips for what you can do at home. If stress still feels overwhelming, come in and talk with your primary care doctor for additional help. Plenty of us make resolutions this time of year. It’s never too early or too late to reset our habits and behaviors to live our best and healthiest selves in 2018. Following these basic steps will help launch you into a healthy new year. Dr. Adriana Sablan, DO, is a family medicine doctor at John Muir Health in Brentwood. To make an appointment, schedule online at www.johnmuirhealth. com or call 925-308-8112.
Ending human trafficking in Contra Costa County This month, The Alliance to End Abuse, a bureau of the Contra Costa County Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD), is helping launch an awareness ad campaign focused on human trafficking in the restaurant, hotel and cleaning service industries. Many of these labor victims are being abused in plain sight. The awareness ads will run on County Connection, Tri-Delta Transit
and WestCAT buses throughout the month. The FBI has identified California as one of the nation’s top destination states for trafficked persons. Contra Costa County is a natural corridor for human trafficking activities with its linkage to major metropolitan areas like Oakland and San Francisco via public transportation (BART) and its accessibility to Los Angeles and Sacramento via major highways such as 680, 80 and 5 (via Highway
4). Though human trafficking is illegal, victims often do not know where to turn for help and community members may not know where to report suspicious situations. The Alliance to End Abuse is a member of a group of government and nongovernment agencies called the Contra Costa Human Trafficking Coalition which includes the sheriff and district attorney offices. As part of the county’s efforts, the coalition is announc-
ing several events during the month. Throughout January, the Contra Costa Human Trafficking Coalition will work with local agencies to raise awareness about trafficking within the county. Other events throughout the month include documentary screening and trainings on human trafficking. For a complete list of events and details, visit www.contracostacoalition.org/calendar.

Some stuff is better
Editor: This month’s federal job report shows that unemployment is at its lowest level in a decade and black, and Hispanic unemployment is at their (sic) lowest rate since unemployment rates have been tracked by race and ethnicity. The stock market grew more than 5,000 points in 2017 (a record) and continues its climb, surpassing 25,000 points on the Dow and 7,000 on the Nasdaq this month (both records). The commerce department reports that private construction spending hit an all-time high (a new record) in 2017, led by home building, followed by transportation and office construction. The Institution of Supply Management reported that U.S. manufacturing reached record growth last year, fueled by ‘domestic business investment, improving global economies and steady spending by American households.’ A robust economy is the best ‘social justice’ program ever created.

TPS holders should have become citizens
Editor: I’m confused as the article says, “To end TPS for legal U.S. residents from El Salvador.” How can you be deported if your (sic) a “legal” U.S. resident? My other question: if you’ve been here for two decades and didn’t feel safe, why didn’t you become a U.S. citizen? That seems like enough time to apply for citizenship. That’s what bothers me about these stories. If you have had time to have three kids, some have started businesses but have never even started the process of becoming a citizen. My father came to the U.S. to work on a visa, met my mother and became a citizen in order to stay here. That’s the way it should be done. There must be
agencies to help with the citizen process so why not do that? Terri Adams Brentwood

Falcons’ basketball teams split games with Deer Valley by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer
The Freedom boys’ basketball team opened Bay Valley Athletic League play with a 72-63 win over Deer Valley last week. The Falcons (9-7) fought off a feisty Wolverines team, which unraveled near the end of regulation after hanging tough and briefly leading at times during the game. The Falcons’ 12-1 run during a 4-minute span midway through the fourth quarter proved to be the Wolverines’ undoing, opening a 70-56 lead for the Falcons with 1:49 left in the game. Guards Jabbar Wade (21 points), Isaiah Trapps (15 points) and Erich Cumby (12 points) led the Falcons in scoring. But the Wolverines (9-7) did not go down easily. Guard Jake Long scored a teamhigh 15 points to lead the Wolverines, who pulled within 3 with 5:42 left in the fourth quarter and stayed within striking distance the whole game. Freedom led by 3 after one quarter; 2 at halftime; and 9 at the end of three quarters. Deer Valley guard Dominic Pino finished with 8 points in the loss, and guard Dera Vixon chipped in 7. Deer Valley’s hopes of a comeback

in the fourth were dampened by the ejection of head coach Chris Walton after he picked up two technical fouls which occurred after a Wolverines foul. Wade cashed in on five of the ensuing six foul shots, putting Freedom up 68-56 with 2:33 left in the game. Deer Valley closed the game on a 7-2 run over the final 1:49, but it was too little, too late. In other boys’ Bay Valley Athletic League action, Heritage upped its record to 15-2 with a 64-56 win over Pittsburg, and Antioch downed Liberty 83-76. Heritage returns to the court on Friday to host Deer Valley at 7 p.m. Liberty (12-4) hosts Pittsburg (7-9) and Antioch (10-7) hosts Freedom at the same time.

The Deer Valley girls’ basketball team grounded a surging Freedom squad in a 55-41 victory. Up only 7 at halftime, Deer Valley (10-7) outscored the Falcons 25-18 in the second half to secure the victory. Freedom (13-4) entered the game riding a seven-game winning streak. After a tight first half that saw the Wolverines take a 30-23 lead into halftime, Deer Valley opened the second half on a 7-2 run in the first 3 minutes to take a 37-25 lead and control of the game. The back-and-forth nature of the second half was par for the game. Deer Valley burst out of the gate on

an 8-2 run, but Freedom closed out the first quarter on an 11-7 run to pull within 2. Deer Valley closed the final 3 minutes of the second quarter on a 7-0 run to build its halftime lead. In other Bay Valley Athletic League
action, Heritage (9-5) rolled to a 75-52 win over Pittsburg (10-6) and Liberty (98) edged Antioch (10-6) 52-51. Heritage returns to the court on Friday to host Deer Valley at 5:30 p.m. Liberty hosts Pittsburg and Antioch hosts Freedom at the same time.
Veteran Patriots hope to spark BVAL run by Michael Dixon Correspondent
When talking with Heritage girls’ soccer coach Gary Lafleur or the players on his team, one word that comes up time and time again is chemistry. Lafleur is his third year as head coach of the varsity team and 12th with the program overall. He lauded the success of this year’s team, citing chemistry as one of the main factors. “This is the best team we’ve had in the last three years,” the coach said. “The talent, the camaraderie, and most important, the chemistry this year is the best I’ve seen in a long time here with the program. Chemistry can fix flaws, and it has everyone playing at an optimum performance.” A number of players lead the charge
for the Patriots. Senior center-midfielder Jenae Packard is one of the top players in the BVAL, while senior forward Susanna Garcia leads the team in scoring, averaging better than a goal a game. Both, along with senior Alex Diaz, are already committed to play in college, going to Pacific, Chico State and Holy Names, respectively. Other offensive stalwarts for Heritage include senior forward Alexandra Rizo and junior center-midfielder and Fiona Valdillez. Defensively, the Patriots are anchored by returning starters sophomore Sarah Smith and junior Katey Hartwig as well as senior goalkeeper Mackenzie Long. “Our bond is stronger all together,” Hartwig said. “We’re strong in all four of our lines and we work really well together.”
Heritage sits at a 6-4 overall record with 2-1 mark in league play. One of the goals of the senior laden team has been to displace the reigning league champs at Liberty. “We have a lot of seniors on our team,” Packard said. “The core group has really been waiting for this opportunity to be at the top of the league. We have a lot of heart and drive to get there.” Of course, winning the league will not be easy. The Patriots will likely need to manage a win and a tie in their two games against the Lions and will almost certainly need to beat Freedom (who handed Heritage its only league loss) in the second matchup between the two. While stressing that the team has no glaring weaknesses, Garcia highlighted its strength as a way to make that happen.
“With our speed that we have up top, we’re a very fast team,” she said. “We definitely like to play. We’re not going to just boot it in. We like to run.” Beyond winning the BVAL, Valdillez noted that she thinks the team has the potential to make to at least the second round of the NCS playoffs but noted, “I want to go higher.” Regardless of what happens, Heritage sees itself as a force to be reckoned with and a team that opponents should not overlook. “I just think that other teams should watch out,” said Rizo, who didn’t play as a junior and had played with Liberty before. “I don’t feel that we’re getting the credit that we deserve right now. But I think we’re going to come back and do pretty well.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

The case for and against new bowling balls I trust everyone had a good Christmas, and with that said, it seems from my emails that many of you found a gift certificate under the tree for a pro shop. The questions to me spanned a wide range over the past few weeks, but Keglers orner since Christmas, you’ve been asking for which ball you should be in the market. In general, I don’t buy into the yearly hype of the manufacturers for their ‘new’ lines Duane of equipment and Wilson outrageous performance claims, opting for good maintenance of what you have. A well-maintained ball lasts for many years, and if you’re a house player at a specific house, the shot never changes. So why change equipment? Well, the house is the same, but in the past year, the shot has changed with the installation of new lanes at the local center, and the transition process those lanes are experiencing is resulting in a lot of frustration. The new lanes are of a new material and, combined with new lane conditioners, the shot has not only changed, but so have its dynamics and
C
configuration which means we’ve got to change with it. Will your old equipment still perform under these new parameters? It will if you’re open to making some changes to your own game. If not, you’ve got to change equipment. Old house shots were put out to a shorter distance of approximately 40 feet. This distance allowed a wide range of play with an even wider range of equipment that could reasonably perform on it. Today, the pattern has been extended to almost 45 feet to protect the new surface material. Lengthening the pattern means less time for the ball to react (hook) back to the pocket. With this decrease in time, a line taken before is coming up ‘light’ and requiring two things to adjust – slowing the speed of the ball and moving the target at the arrows inward from the old area of the second arrow (10 board) to around the 12th board. Without this move, a ball has a shallow entry angle and leaves a lot of 10 pins (7s for lefties) or worse, 7-10s. Each year, manufacturers introduce more than 100 ‘new’ balls which are essentially new colors and names for an old design and formulation, thus my bias about new balls. The manufacturers do make changes to formulations as significant
changes come to the game. Three or four years ago, there were only a few pure urethane balls available. Today, there are over a dozen, and they have a spectrum of performance capabilities. They still fill the niche of a ball just above plastic but far more controllable than their siblings in the reactive resin family. To cope with these longer patterns, manufacturers have expanded their lines of hybrid reactive balls. These balls add a level above the urethanes, but below the full reactive. These hybrids seem to be addressing the slightly longer patterns.
They retain energy by conserving it on the front part of lanes (like a urethane) but react more smoothly after the end of the pattern and less violently than a full reactive. I made the switch a few weeks ago, and the results have been pretty impressive. My strike percentage is up almost 8 percent, which is significant at my average level in the 220 range. Talk to your certified coach or pro shop operator and see if you might be a candidate when making your new ball selections. Good luck and keep those emails coming in.

Athlete of the Week by Tony Kukulich Correspondent
Name: Kassy Cho
School: Heritage High School Sport: Tennis Year: Junior Coach: Ed Dong Though only a junior at Heritage High School, Kassy Cho is an intense competitor who has already battled her way to the Bay Valley Athletic League (BVAL) girls’ singles tennis championship match twice. “I started to play tennis when I was 9 years old,” Kassy explained. “My dad would take me out. He’s the one who got me into tennis. He just wanted someone to teach.” Within a year, Kassy, a Brentwood native, played in her first tournament and realized how much she already enjoyed the sport even though, she joked, “I lost in the first round. It wasn’t even close.” While some might have been discouraged by a loss like that, Kassy instead found her motivation. “I decided that I wanted to win these tournaments,” she said. “I wanted to get better. I wanted to improve.” That drive and determination is reflected in the success that she has had in the sport. Kassy said her goals for next season include winning the BVAL title
Gearing up for track and field
and qualifying for the North Coast Section tournament. While the competition drew her into tennis, there is a strong social aspect to the sport that Kassy also enjoys. “I love meeting new people when I play matches,” Kassy said. “I enjoy the tennis team and love new friends that I make along the way.” Aside from an occasional movie or spending time with friends, most of Kassy’s free time is devoted to tennis. She will even compete in tournaments when visiting family in Southern California. ‘”I’ve been doing tennis for such a long time now that it’s just become part of my life,” said Kassy. “Although tennis is very time consuming, I feel like it’s caused me to be more driven. It makes me want to try hard in everything I do.”
Future Plans:
A serious student, Kassy is planning for a nursing career, following in the footsteps of her mother. Additionally, she hopes to continue playing tennis in college. San Diego State University tops the list of schools that Kassy would like to attend.

Coach’s Quote:
“Kassy has developed into a wellrounded person on and off the court. She leads by example during team practices and encourages (her) teammates to excel toward (their) personal goals. My hope is for her to achieve the BVAL girls’ singles championship award next season.”

Winter Classic heats up Antioch Speedway
Photo courtesy of Freedom cheer
The Freedom traditional cheer team is undefeated heading into the state championships in February.
Freedom cheer team rolls into state championships The undefeated Freedom traditional cheer team has a lot to celebrate heading into the Feb. 3state championships in Bakersfield. The squad has taken first place at the Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA) Masters Camp, The UCA Regional in Sacramento, the USA Regional Del Camp in Fair Oaks and the USA Regional Deer Valley in Antioch. Along the way, the team won the Masters Camp leadership award; defeated Heritage at the UCA
Regional to win the Super Large Varsity division and qualify for the National High School Cheerleading Championship in Florida; bested Oak Ridge High in the Varsity Advanced Division at the USA Regional Del Camp in Fair Oaks to qualify for the USA Nationals; and got by Heritage and California high schools to win the Varsity Advanced Division at the USA Regional Deer Valley in Antioch where the Falcons’ group stunts took first and second place.
New Year’s Day marked the start of the Antioch Speedway Winter Classic. Oval Motorsports began its 21st season of promoting the 3/8-mile clay oval with a special four-division program featuring A Modifieds, B Modifieds, dwarf cars and hobby stocks. Williston, North Dakota’s Travis Peery won the A Modified Main Event. Peery competed at tracks in Medford, Oregon, and Yreka, California, before moving to North Dakota. He took the lead from Raymond Lindeman and then had a battle with five-time champion Scott Busby during the final 10 laps. On a restart with eight laps to go, Busby used the inside line to take the lead from Peery. However, when Chester Kniss rolled in turn four, the ensuing red flag negated Busby’s pass. Peery chose the inside on this restart and withstood an outside groove challenge by Busby over the next two laps to hold the lead. As Peery sealed his victory, 2017 race winner Nick DeCarlo made a late pass on Busby to take second place. Busby settled for third ahead of reigning track champion Bobby Motts Jr. and Jeff Faulkner. Fred Ryland took the lead from his wife, Patti Ryland, early on and won the B Modified main event. Fred is the reigning Merced Speedway champion, and he held off reigning Chico and Marysville champion Philip Shelby down the
stretch for a well-earned victory. Les Friend finished third ahead of Craig Nieman and Mark Garner. Reigning champion Mike Corsaro scored an impressive victory in the Dwarf Car main event. Two-time champion Danny Wagner led the first half of the race before overheating issues sidelined him. During the second half of the race, Corsaro led with Jack Haverty and Michael Grenert in close pursuit. Grenert made a pass on Haverty for second with six laps to go. Two laps later, Grenert made a slide job move around Corsaro in turn two, only to drift too high as Corsaro raced back into the lead down the backstretch. Corsaro scored a hard-fought victory ahead of Grenert, Haverty, Chuck Conover and David Michael Rosa. The Hobby Stock Main Event featured an entertaining side-by-side battle between Chris Long and Orland Raceway star Brad Ray. After technical inspections following the race, Ray was disqualified and Long was elevated to first. Orland Raceway champion Jeremy Langenderfer was riding along in third when he spun on the last lap, handing the position to Chris Bennett. Bennett’s third place became second with the disqualification of Ray. For more information on the Antioch Speedway, visit www. antiochspeedway.com. – Courtesy of the Antioch Speedway
A worthwhile donation
T
he Freedom High School rugby club team, the lone high school organization in East County, recently received a $5,000 donation from the Contra Costa Rugby Association. “Our mission statement is to provide education, training, gear and registration money for youth rugby in the area,” said Ed Christianson, founder of the organization. Christianson, who also coaches the De La Salle squad, was pleased with the Freedom team members when they competed against the Spartans last year. “I was so impressed with their candor, their sportsmanship – everything that rugby embraces,” he said.

McNerney to host open house To kick off the new year, Rep. Jerry McNerney will host two open house events at each of his district offices, inviting constituents to join him to share their thoughts and concerns. These events give community members the opportunity to meet with their congressman and discuss the important issues that affect their daily lives. The congressman will also update attendees on the latest from our nation’s capital and talk about what he is doing to serve the people and communities of California’s
Dogs from page 1 received a dog named Future through Guide Dogs for the Blind, a leading guide dog school that provides trained dogs free of charge for people with low or no vision. Annie’s role was to care for the pups, teaching them basic skills before they were sent away for formal training. Over the years, Annie has taught several puppies how to walk through daily life, but it was the one who returned to her that would help walk her through a life change of her own. When one of her former pups, Cove, was selected for breeding, Annie was asked if she would want to become her breeder custodian. Upon the dog’s return, Annie was coincidentally offered a job interview with Clayton Valley Charter High School and Cove was at her side. “I thought, well, if I’m going, she’s going. We’ll see how this works out,’” she said. “But (Clayton Valley administration) thought it was wonderful and even said I could bring her to class after offering the job.” Now a teacher of sports medicine at the charter school, Annie brings two dogs with her to class. She is fulfilled to continue both her volunteer work with the animals and enhance the lives of students who interact with them. “The kids’ faces just light up when the dogs greet them each day, and they
Contract from page 1 audits and other actuarial studies; he rolled out a new district website; and he increased the district’s public outreach activities and social-media presence. The organization also recently finalized an agreement with a legislative advocacy services company and plans to hire a strategic planning firm to help the district build a comprehensive roadmap for the future. Current board President Brian Oftedal said the new contract with Helmick is important for the future of the district, which will shift to an elected board in late 2018. “The agreement will provide as much stability as possible as the district prepares to transition to its first elected
9th Congressional District. The first open house will be located at the Stockton District Office at 2222 Grand Canal Blvd., Suite 7, in Stockton, Tuesday, Jan. 23, from 4 to 5:30 p.m. For more information or to RSVP, call 209476-8552. A second open house will take place the following day at the Antioch District Office, 4703 Lone Tree Way, in Antioch, Wednesday, Jan. 24, from 4 to 5:30 p.m. For more information or to RSVP, call the 925-754-0716.
bring a sense of calm,” she said. On being separated from the dogs, Annie and the other dog raisers she’s met through the years agree it’s difficult but rewarding. “It is a volunteer passion of the heart,” said Mary Kay, a fellow dog raiser. “We get to hang around wonderful people and wonderful dogs for a wonderful cause.” Patti Baker, another volunteer who helped raise Cove’s most recent litter and now cares for one of her 14-weekold puppies, said the experience is like preparing a child for college. “While you know they’re going to leave you eventually, you know they’re going off to learn something,” said Baker. Annie’s lifestyle and those of others volunteers now revolves around the dogs, and they wouldn’t have it any other way. “It rips your heart out when they leave you, but then you make sure you have another puppy attached to the leash when they do,” said Annie. “At the forefront of my mind, I know I’m helping give someone independence.” For more information or to become a guide dog raiser, visit www.guidedogs. com or call Lois at 925-698-5660.

board and will be the next step toward providing the solid foundation that the board and organization have been building to take the district into the future,” Oftedal said. Other key terms of the new contract include Helmick receiving 20 hours of vacation per month and 100 hours per year of administrative leave time. He can also be reimbursed up to $4,000 of tuition per year for graduate-level coursework. If terminated, Helmick would receive a year’s salary or payment for the remaining term of the unexpired contract – whichever is less.

Girl Scouts to the rescue After vandals destroyed a Valentine’s Day display on the City of Brentwood’s popular Big Red Chair, Girl Scouts from Troop #33386 leaped into action and replaced the ruined wreath with a variety of handmade valentines and decorations. The vandalism so upset Brentwood Mayor Bob Taylor that he filed a police report and continues to personally offer a $100 reward for information leading to the identification of the person or persons responsible. “The mayor is very upset, and I think we need to send a message that this will not be tolerated,” said Taylor.
