New restaurant offers ‘Louisiana infusion’ by Samie Hartley Staff Writer

As the saying goes, the wind from one door closing opens another, and Oakley resident Bobby Duncan is a man of opportunities. When New United Motors Manufacturing Incorporated closed its doors last spring, Duncan was faced with unemployment and was forced to think about the next step. He didn’t have to think long before his answer arrived. Since he wasn’t employed, he finally had the time to pursue his dream and open a restaurant. “I’ve always wanted to open a restaurant,” Duncan said, “but it never seemed like the right time, so I did other things. I catered on the side. But when I found myself without a job, I also found myself with an opportunity to follow a dream. I decided in July that I was going to go for it, and we opened in December.” Bobby D’s Restaurant and Custom Catering began serving down-home Southern soul food on Dec. 6, but it wasn’t until last week that a wave of New Orleans’ hospitality came bursting through the doors in the form on Antioch resident chef LeRoy Crump – and the restaurant took on new life. While Duncan was serving up meals cooked in a Northern Louisiana style, Crump has brought his Southern Louisiana cooking to the mix, creating a “Louisiana infusion” that’s got mouths watering when they’re not busy spreading the

Duncan was impressed door and I stopped in to try the food, and with Crump’s barbecue ribs and the two I was excited,” Crump recalled. “Together became friends, sharing their passion for we could bring Northern and Southern cooking. Crump’s cooking was in high Louisiana flavor together and bring a demand, but he couldn’t find a restaurant whole new style of soul food to this area. that was the right fit for him – until he saw You won’t find that at any other restau-

rant around here – not even in the entire Bay Area.” Duncan was born in Louisiana and moved to California as a child. But every summer he spent in Louisiana with his grandmother was an opportunity to learn more cooking secrets, and he developed an unexpected love for the local cuisine. “When I was young, the tradition was that the elders were served first and the children were served last, so I figured if I helped cook, I’d get to eat sooner,” Duncan said. “I started helping in the kitchen, and I could prepare a Thanksgiving dinner by myself by the time I was 12 years old. I love to cook because you get to experiment and try new things, but my favorite part is serving others and watching them enjoy a meal.” Crump shares Duncan’s love for cooking and together they’ve formed a collaborative team whose goal is to knock the socks off East County’s taste buds. While Crump has worked at many restaurants, including that of celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse, he said Duncan is his best boss ever. “I feel like part of a team here,” Crump explained. “Bobby asks for my input and he genuinely wants my opinion. That really means a lot –” “I’d be a fool not to ask your opinion with all the experience you have,” Duncan interjected. “I’m still new to all this.” The two have known each other for see Louisiana page 20A

CHANGES TO HAFA Over the last few years the government has tried (unsuccessfully) to coerce banks into implementing massive numbers of meaningful loan modifications to keep people in their homes at sensible payments they can afford. Since they couldn’t get banks to modify enough loans, they turned their attention to short sales. They released a program effective April, 2010 called HAFA that was supposed to result in hundreds of thousands more short sales. However, some reports say that less than 1,000 across the nation have actually closed. New changes are about to go into effect on Feb. 1, 2011 that the government hopes will open the floodgates to more HAFA short sales. The two biggest changes are regarding debt ratio and occupancy. There used to be a requirement that the homeowner’s mortgage payment was more than 31% of their gross income to qualify. This is no longer required by the government HAFA rules (although the individual lender may still do it), and the homeowner still has to prove a hardship. The 31% was a stumbling block for many potential HAFA deals for someone that has

overwhelming debt apart from their mortgage. Under the old rules the property could not be vacant more than 90 days prior to applying for HAFA, and the homeowner had to have been relocated for job reasons more than 100 miles away. Now it can be vacant for up to 12 months prior as long as the homeowner hasn’t bought another residence yet. In addition, there is no minimum distance requirement, and the relocation does not need to be job-related. HAFA still does not cover properties bought for investment use, but now the property CAN have been rented during the 12 months prior to applying for a HAFA short sale. I think these changes will improve HAFA short sales as it will allow more people to qualify to be considered for them. The bottom line, though, is that while lenders have to consider a homeowner for a HAFA short sale, it’s still optional for them to approve them or not.

Searching for Discovery Bay While historian Carol Jensen owns a vast collection of historical postcards, she’s looking to add to it, and she needs your help. Jensen’s collection features images of old Brentwood, Oakley and Knightsen, but she doesn’t have many Discovery Bay postcards. She’s been hunting for promotional postcards that were a part of the 1970s ad campaign to endorse the new waterfront community that nearly 15,000 residents now call home. “There must have been postcards for promotion, yet no one seems to have one,” Jensen said. “This would be a 40-year-old card – too young to be extinct. Postcards of Discovery Bay are incredibly difficult to find. I searched, advertised and cried when I couldn’t find one ‘old’ promotional postcard of Discovery Bay advertising it from the 1970 to 1972.” Jensen is offering a prize to anyone who can find a Discovery Bay postcard that hasn’t been sent or written on. This month she’s offering a Vaquero-level Friend of John Marsh membership to the John Marsh Historic Trust. Jensen does own a Discovery Bay postcard, but not from the

early days – yet the images lead to another history mystery. The postcard displays four scenes of the boater’s-paradise life in Discovery Bay, but the back of the card supplies no information regarding locations or identities. Jensen wants to know things such as the name of the marina shown in the upper right corner and the owner of the house fea-

tured in the upper left corner. She’d also like to know the history of the sprinkler depicted in the lower right photo and where the lower left shot was taken. Those with information on the postcard shown here, or in possession of a promotional postcard from the 1970s, should e-mail Jensen at historian@byronhotsprings. com.

Demystifying the marine radio forecasts on seven VHF frequencies dedicated to weather, 24 hours a day. Coastal and inland water area broadcasts include wind and wave conditions with potential hazards to small crafts. The broadcasts are updated periodically, and each channel is specific to an area. The area of coverage is indicated at the beginning of the broadcast, so listen for the area most pertinent to your location. Once the recording begins to loop, it’s time to check a different channel. From the south Delta, broadcasts can be heard on channels WX1, WX2 and WX4. Channel 1 covers the Sacramento

Valley and Gold Country, channel 2 from Monterey to the North S.F. Bay and channel 4 broadcasts from Mt. Diablo. This is the most appropriate for our area, covering the Delta with both land and marine observations. The marine VHF is a valuable tool on the water. Follow these simple operating guidelines to plan your day, hear weather info and hook up with boating friends. Boat safe and have fun.

VTS is the control tower of sorts, directing commercial traffic into and out of the Bay. One Sunday summer morning I was headed back into the Bay and caught in pea soup fog.

Not wanting to get run over by a tanker, I hailed VTS for traffic status and to advise my position. Lastly, the National Weather Service broadcasts current observations and

The marine VHF (very high frequency) radio is a valuable tool for communicating with other vessels, hailing for help, obtaining weather information and monitoring pertinent local marine updates. It isn’t, however, as informal as a citizens band (CB) ON THE radio, and certain protocols for use and ATER operation should be observed. VHF marine frequencies are shared by commercial vessels, law enforcement, recreational boaters and the Coast Guard. CAPT. JON The use and operation BLOOM might seem a bit intimidating at first, but aren’t difficult once understood. There are four basic points of consideration for proper operation: hailing, communicating, frequency selection and obtaining weather reports. Each of the 88 numbered channels has a specific function and is assigned to the specific uses mentioned above. The most important is channel 16, used for hailing, emergency calls and announcements by the Coast Guard. The proper procedure for hailing another vessel is by keying the mike, saying the other vessel’s name three times, then your vessel’s name once or twice. For example, “Fireball, Fireball, Fireball, this is Tiki, Tiki, over.” Contact is recognized and an operating channel suggested as follows, “Tiki, Fireball, go to six eight, over.” It’s important to switch to an operating frequency and not chit-chat on channel 16. For recreational boaters, the working channels are 09, 68, 69, 71, 72 and 78. Channel nine (09) is also the typical drawbridge tender frequency in the Delta. Once on the operating frequency, make the communication exchange short and precise, freeing the frequency for other users. An emergency call is hailed on channel 16 by saying “May-day, May-day, May-day” followed by “this is boat-boat name, boat-name.” A May-day is used for a medical emergency or if in immediate danger and in need of assistance. If the Coast Guard hears your hail, it will respond. If not, other vessels within range of the hail are required to lend assistance. If you are in a predicament that is less than life threatening but could escalate, then you hail “Pan-pan, Pan-pan” (pronounced “pon”). This is an advisory call that puts the Coast Guard on notice, if for example you’re taking on water but the bilge pump is keeping up. Finally, a “Seecur-i-tay” is an announcement for mariners to keep a heads up for any condition that might impede navigation, or used to inform of another vessel in distress. These will typically be broadcast by the Coast Guard. Another important channel is 13, used by commercial vessels for communicating boat to boat (bridge to bridge). If you happen to find yourself in the middle of the deep water channel, engine dead and a large commercial vessel approaching, this is the channel to hail the watch officer on that

transfer period

Attendance areas for high schools in the Liberty Union High School District – Liberty, Freedom and Heritage – are designed to balance enrollment between the schools. But district students are allowed to attend a school not designated for their residential area, provided they are granted a formal intradistrict transfer. An open enrollment period is in effect during the month of February for the 2011-12 school year. Decisions regarding these requests will be made by May 13, 2011. Intradistrict transfer requests are generally approved as long as the enrollment for all schools is balanced by total numbers and ethnicity. As the district continues to grow and enrollment capacities at all schools are reached, not all requests for intradistrict transfers will be approved. When schools reach their capacity, the number of intradistrict transfers approved must be equal between schools. Intradistrict transfer request forms may be picked up starting Feb. 1 at the district office, 20 Oak St. in Brentwood, or online at www.luhsd.net.

More than 50 classmates of the Freedom High School sophomore shared hugs and tears as they remembered their peer, choosing to celebrate Fink rather than mourn him. The Oakley Police Department received a call at 9:05 a.m. on Monday reporting that a young man was struck by a freight train. Based on eyewitness accounts, the death appears to be a suicide.

Every day people come into my office indicating that they moved out of their home many months (or even years ago) and the bank still has not foreclosed. They are now concerned because the city is sending them bills for maintenance on the property and the Homeowners Association is suing them for back payments even though they are no longer living at the home. If you are behind on your mortgage, have tried a loan modification and have been denied or know you will not be able to keep the home, what should you do? First, DO NOT MOVE… I REPEAT…DO NOT MOVE UNTIL THE BANK FORECLOSES OR THE SHORT SALE IS COMPLETED. You are now living in your home without paying your mortgage. It is free! You should not start paying rent someplace else when you can live in your home for free. Second, KEEP UP THE PROPERTY. YOU ARE STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROPERTY UNTIL THE BANK FORECLOSES OR THE SHORT SALE IS COMPLETED. So, even if you moved, you are still responsible for the maintenance of the property and payment of any Homeowner Association dues. You do not need to pay the property taxes, but you should maintain the homeowners insurance. Therefore, if you are still responsible for the maintenance and HOA payment, you might as well enjoy the property and the amenities. Third, CONTINUE TO TALK TO YOUR LENDER TO SEE IF ANY NEW OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE TO YOU. Starting January 1, 2011, the State of California is offering new assistance programs through your lender if you are behind on your mortgage. Fourth, SEEK LEGAL COUNSEL. Depending on your situation, a real estate or bankruptcy attorney will be able to advise you whether a short sale may be a better alternative for you than a foreclosure. Also, if you

have other debt which you are unable to pay off such as credit cards, lines of credit or car loans, a bankruptcy may be the best alternative for you. However, if you are no longer in the home, the debt against the property cannot be used to offset income. Therefore, if you (or your family) have income over the average median income in California (Family 1- $47,234, Family 2-$61,954, Family 3-$67,562), you will want to file the bankruptcy case prior to leaving the home. Leaving the home prior to the bankruptcy filing may mean the filing of a Chapter 13 repayment plan versus a straight Chapter 7 where no debts must be repaid. In conclusion, do not move until the Bank forecloses or the short sale is completed. It is still your home until the Bank forecloses which can be months or years from the time you stop paying. The average time of a foreclose in California is now 451 days from the date of default. That means potentially 451 days of FREE RENT or more. Since you are still responsible for the property, you might as well enjoy it. This is a complicated area of the law. You are in the deep end of the pool. Do not swim alone. The buddy system is essential. Seek a buddy in legal counsel prior to taking any action.

Eagle candidate aims to help troops A local Eagle Scout candidate hopes to earn Scouting’s highest honor by warming the hands and hearts of those serving our nation in Afghanistan and Iraq. Alex Last is a member of Troop 927 – sponsored by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Marsh Creek Ward – and he’s been collecting monetary donations and items for care packages for soldiers overseas. The packages are filled with things to keep the troops warm and dry, as the area’s weather this time of the year features temperatures in the 40s plus snow. Alex held a kick-off party early this month and is collecting cold weather items through Saturday, Jan. 29. He plans to coordinate with the post office and ship the care packages on Saturday, Feb. 12. On the recommendation of Josie and Jeff Monaghan from Antioch Military Families & Friends, Last’s goal is to ship at least 50 boxes to the troops. “I’ve always looked up to those who have and are serving in the military,” Alex wrote in a letter. “I hope to bring joy to those who make it possible for us to have peace and joy here at home.” Alex said that this mission has taken on extra meaning to him. His cousin, U.S. Army Pfc. Trevor Taylor – 1st Cavalry, 3rd Brigade – enlisted last year and will deploy to Iraq later this month. Last said his cousin’s selfless de-

ALEX LAST cision to serve has been an inspiration for his project. In addition to his cousin, a member of his church – U.S. Air Force Capt. Christopher Lopez – has been assigned to the Army’s 184th Expeditionary Sustainment Command unit in Afghanistan. “He left the end of December,” said Last, “and is now fighting the blowing dirt and sand of Afghanistan.” Lopez and Taylor will receive packages sent by Last. The impending Eagle Scout has been involved in Scouting since the age of 8. A member of Order of the Arrow and leader in numerous roles, Last said his most rewarding scouting experience occurred two years as a den chief for Combined Packs 927 and 297. He currently serves as Venture Crew Secretary.

BUSD dominates teacher awards by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer

In case you were wondering if the Brentwood Union School District (BUSD) employs any outstanding middle school teachers, feel free to ask Margaret Kruse. “Our teachers do great, great things in the middle school arena. They are wonderful educators, and this is just a great opportunity to show that,” said Kruse, BUSD assistant superintendent. “To have three teachers from Brentwood honored is quite something.” Kruse is referring to the recent Educator of the Year awards, the California League of Middle School’s annual honors awarded to teachers in 11 regions throughout the state. The outstanding instructors are recognized for their exemplary efforts on behalf of educational reform and support at the middle school level. Chosen from a field of hundreds of educators throughout the state, nominees are recommended by their peers and pared down to a final 11 in each district. One representative from each district is chosen to go on to the state competition. The representative from Region IV is Ken Klieman from the San Mateo-Foster City School District. He will go on to compete in the state finals in February. This year in Region IV, which includes Contra Costa County, three of the 11 nominees were from the BUSD. They are Bart Schneider, performing arts teacher at Edna Hill; Adams music teacher Lindsay Vietti; and Fred Albe, computer and science teacher at Bristow.

At left, Fred Albe, computer and science teacher at Bristow Middle School, was one of three Brentwood middle school teachers recognized for their work as educators. Above, Adams Middle School music teacher Lindsay Vietti, and Bart Schneider, right, a performing arts teacher at Edna Hill Middle School, were also honored. All three were honored at last week’s Brentwood City Council meeting. The nominees were feted during a recent Brentwood City Council meeting, and proclamations from Sen. Barbara Boxer and Congressman Jerry McNerney were presented to them. Schneider, who is also a former Teacher of the Year, is honored by the recent accolade. “We’re all pretty fired up,” said Schneider. “Everyone here in the district does such an amazing job, and to be recognized with your peers is such an honor.” For Vietti, sharing the company of her

Brentwood peers makes the award especially sweet. “I’m completely honored,” said Vietti. “And to be acknowledged with the other teachers in the district says a lot about Brentwood and the community. I love what I do and I love teaching the students. It’s nice to have some positive news for the district.” Albe is also proud of the honor, but added that it’s the collective efforts of the BUSD that makes for successful students. “For the past 11 years as a science and computer teacher at Bristow, I have seen a remarkable transfor-

mation in the Brentwood schools,” said Albe. “The curriculum in all subject areas is today organized and integrated across all the schools in the district … Schools are not, and shouldn’t be considered, businesses, but the BUSD uses many of the planning and execution tools that I have seen work so well in the business world to achieve its goals and produce successful students. Congratulations, BUSD.” For more information on the Educator of the Year awards and a complete list of the winners, visit www.clms.net.

Learning a lesson from Antioch It’s hardly news that the City of Antioch is having a tough time these days. Budget woes have City Hall operating on a shoestring, and although negotiations to prevent further police continue, DITORIAL layoffs the thin blue line is already too thin. City personnel are simply not available to address blighted conditions in the neighborhoods, making things around town look just as bad as they seem. Other East County communities whose fortunes are not as strained might be tempted to look at the region’s largest city and say “thank goodness that’s not us.” But if they do, they’d be overlooking

something happening in Antioch that ought to evoke comments more like “why can’t we be like them?” For some time there was a group of people meeting monthly with members of the Antioch Police, residents who wanted only to help pick up trash. When the PD budget would no longer allow the events, dozens of helpers turned out anyway to carry on. They’ll be out there again on Feb. 5, making a difference with gloved hands and garbage bags. Then, on Dec. 23, resident Brittney Gougeon started a page on Facebook called “Take Back Antioch.” The aim was to spark dialogue about how to make the city safer, and Gougeon hoped 300 people might join by March. By this week,

however, more than 1,400 had jumped aboard, proffering ideas, photos of graffiti, information on subsidized housing, police scanner codes and plenty more. The group has caught the attention of the City Council, but more importantly is organizing and acting autonomously. That’s great news. There are plenty of people whose tendencies are to sit around and complain, but it’s clear that there are also plenty who have had enough bad news and they’re heading out to make some good news of their own.

went on an incredible field trip experience in the Gourmet Ghetto area of Berkeley. Our guides from Lisa in the Kitchen took us to eight establishments (Saul’s Deli, Chez Panisse, Soop, Alegio Chocolates, Lush Gelato, Cafe Gratitude, Love at First Bite, and The Cheeseboard), where we tasted vegan food, soup, chocolates, pastrami sandwiches, homemade soda, cupcakes, pizza, bread, cheese, veggies and dips, smoothies, coconut cream pie, and we sat in a restaurant that charges up to $95 per person to eat there! The chefs we met with shared their passion for what they do and energetically answered our students’ questions. We would like to publicly thank these establishments for giving our students such a tremendous tour, and teaching them about where their food comes from. Peggy Wunderly Antioch

should be emulated. True, other communities may have a better balance sheet, but none are free from troublesome problems that can be effectively address by a grassroots effort such as hers, and all can benefit from residents’ efforts to make things better. No matter where they live, people should look at the example being set by those Antiochians unwilling to sit idly by as things get worse. Although Antioch’s movement might have been triggered by hardship, there’s no reason such an effort can’t be part of every community. All it takes is some energetic people willing to lead the way. Imagine what could be done with hundreds of volunteers and a healthy bank account.

Don’t tar with same doggie brush

Editor: I read the article about the disturbing number of dog attacks lately. It seems like it’s giving large, athletic dogs such as Dobermans, pit bulls, boxers and German shepherds a bad name. I just wanted to say: Let’s not forget about the little people! I happen to own a Doberman. He’s been raised with my two little girls and he’s the sweetest, goofy, gentle dog ever. While we were out last week, he was attacked by my neighbor’s Yorkie! You may laugh, but my dog has never been attacked, or played with in a rough manner. He didn’t know what to do. He was totally submissive and this little dog did a number on my dog’s lip. I just wanted to put it out there: It’s not the breed, but the way the dog is raised and treated at home.

OBITUARIES Mary Edna Bechtholdt Jan. 31, 1923-Jan. 5, 2011 Beloved mother and grandmother Mary Bechtholdt passed away on Jan. 5. Mary was the last of 11 brothers and sisters. She was born to Fred and Eliza Branaugh on Jan. 31, 1923 in Armour, S.D. Mary buried two husbands in the course of her life, Vernon W. Sees in 1954 and Herman Bechtholdt in 1971. Mary is survived by her four children: Beverly Ann Sees, Larry Joe “Butch” Sees (Joan), Delvin Herman Bechtholdt (stepson) and Michael Jay Bechtholdt (Eve); five grandchildren: Laurie McCutchen (Mike), Jennifer Martin (Chris), Michael Sees, Margie Bechtholdt, John Bechtholdt; and 10 great-grandchildren. Mary spent her retirement years in Brentwood, where she soon became an active community volunteer: former vice president of the Brentwood Community Chest, Brentwood Food Bank volunteer and regular helper at the Brentwood CornFest. In 2004 she was honored with the Women of Distinction award by the Soroptimist International of the Delta. Her last years were spent at the assisted-living facility Eskaton Lodge, where she enjoyed socializing with friends, playing bingo and volunteering as a resident ambassador.

COMMUNITY

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage Matters The Dartboard A multiple colored circular cork board hung on the back wall of your favorite watering hole, or flashing LED lights and in the front of your favorite bar – this depending on your generation – is a staple in any respectable tavern. The most common version of this classic pub game of course being 301, whereas each player starts with 301 points and works backwards until the winner is the first to hit the score of zero; “going out” as it is known in the dart community. Each player takes their turn, and their aim, in hopes of hitting the bulls eye and immediately subtracting 50 points from their original 301. Now, even though The World Dart Federation has been around since 1976 some people still have issues wrapping their head around the game…which is why I guess I can still understand some loan officers still having a hard time wrapping their head around the newer – see implemented in 2010 – Good Faith Estimate. On the other side of the coin, and as the consumer, if you were to think about this document as a dart board it wouldn’t be that complicated at all… The outer circle on our board has the largest target, and just as the real life game of darts, allows for the most amount of leniency. A loan officer can miss the target COMPLETELY and not be penal-ized. These fees include home inspections, termite reports, and/or home warranties. The loan officer has no control over these fees and as such is not penalized in any way for misquoting these charges.

The middle circle of our dart board requires a bit more aim by our loan officer and only allows for a 10% variance. Of course, with the smaller target comes a larger risk and the loan officer is now held responsible for a missed throw. If fees are initially quoted and then raised by more than 10%, the loan officer will have to credit that difference to the borrower at closing. These fees in-clude title and escrow charges. Although the loan officer does not directly control these fees, he or she does work directly with these companies, so there is a smaller margin for error. Last but not least is our loan officer bulls eye – the fees that have to be spot on without any excuses. A missed throw here and the loan officer has all but lost the game. Once these fees are on your good faith estimate it is ILLEGAL for any of them to change in any way. These fees include his or her origination charges, the appraisal charges, and any other fees that his com-pany charges for doing business. They are his or her direct fees and if he or she can’t hit the bulls eye here should you even be working with them? I mean, who doesn’t know what they charge for doing business. One thing is for sure…I wouldn’t want him or her on my World Dart Federation team!

Louisiana from page 4A only a year, but the way they converse gives the impression they’ve been friends for years. While they don’t agree on everything (Crump is still trying to convince Duncan to introduce alligator bites to the menu, while Duncan wants Crump to try a breakfast made with brown eggs), the two weave through the kitchen with dance-like fluidity as they take orders and prepare food. As the restaurant is new and Duncan and Crump expose customers to new dishes, the menu is constantly evolving. But they agree that the barbecue ribs and tri-tip are the favorites. For customers with room for dessert, Duncan is an accomplished pastry chef who makes fresh red velvet cake, peach cobbler and sweet potato pie. The menu features an array of side dishes including potato salad, collard greens, macaroni and cheese, plus cole-

slaw. Main courses range from barbecued pulled pork sandwiches to fried chicken to seafood gumbo and blackened catfish. “We’ve received such positive feedback from the customers,” Duncan said. “We’ve got some people who come in every day to try new things or see what the daily special is. And they’re not shy to share what they think of the food, either. It’s always great when customers offer constructive criticism because it lets me know what I can work on. To me, a recipe is never complete. There’s always something new to try, and I’m excited that I get to share these new creations with the community.” Bobby D’s Restaurant and Custom Catering is located at 1635 A St. in Antioch.

ECO Business Centers solves those problems by providing low-cost cubicles and offices, a shared admin, conference rooms, phone system, kitchenette, copy/print center, file servers and Internet access. “We provide an eco-friendly instant office so entrepreneurs can pick up their laptops, walk-in, sit-down and plug in to an entire office infrastructure they’d have in a mid- to large-size

A bright spot amid East County’s slow economic recovery is ECO Business Centers, an nonprofit educational organization, located in Antioch, dedicated to the vital business of economic redevelopment. Co-founder Glen Laughton hears “jobs, jobs, we all need jobs!” but asks “where do you think those jobs come from? They come from entrepreneurs that have the guts to put their entire personal and financial lives on the line to meet a need in the marketplace.” According to President Obama, “small businesses are the backbone of our economy and the cornerstones of our communities,” and yet Laughton asks “when do we learn how to start a business?” ECO Business Centers provides educational courses and has gone a step further in creating an ecosystem of success for entrepreneurs. According to the Antioch Chamber of Commerce, 80 percent of the businesses in Antioch employ no more than five workers. That means most of these entrepreneurs are working out of their homes, and a business can grow only to a certain degree in such an environment. The economy-of-scales factor, plus the perception that a business with a home address and that meets at Starbucks is not totally professional, make it hard for small businesses to compete with larger, established companies.

Studios, a professional audio and video recording studio, will add in “Internet audio/ video broadcasts and web conferencing,” according to co-founder Joe Reano. Tenant Ready Print will be able to offer large-volume print and copy services. ECO Business Centers is looking for entrepreneurs that can function as “departments” such as accounting, legal, human resources, sales and marketing. “We want to not only create an instant office, but an instant company,” says Laughton. Laughton and Reano’s greater vision is to help businesses to succeed to such a degree that they outgrow their facility, move out and take over vacant locations in Antioch’s beautiful Rivertown business district. ECO Business Centers is looking for only 20 more entrepreneurs to move in, plus groups that would like to host meetings in the new conference rooms. So what happens next? “We’ve already been approached by other cities to replicate this model,” says Laughton. “We’re just looking for the right sponsors to join our vision.” ECO Business Centers’ future looks bright.

Rising star returns Bay Area country sensation Pammie Lowe and the Pammie Lowe Band will be playing at the Rusty Porthole, 3895 Willow Road in Bethel Island, on Thursday, Jan. 27 at 7 p.m. Lowe and her band have been booking more upscale gigs in recent months, but the Benicia-based singer wants to thank East County for all the support during her informal tour last year. Since launching her career last year, Lowe has performed with Nashville stars Justin Moore, Keith Anderson, Josh Gracin, Josh Thompson, Craig Campbell and Walker Hayes. Lowe’s Rusty Porthole appearance will feature some of her original songs plus covers of hits by Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert. “It’ll be a great night for music,” said Lowe. “Come on down and have fun, y’all.” Pammie Lowe Band members are Tony Holt (rhythm), David Franklin (banjo), Mike Miller (drums), Hal Miller (keyboard, violin, mandolin, piano and lead guitar), Fred Vierra, (keyboard, organ, effects and strings) and Nick Diiorio (bass). Lowe plays acoustic and, of course, takes lead vocals. Among the band’s accomplishments are performances at the Veterans of Afghanistan and Iraq benefit – sponsored by the Wolf Radio Station in Sacramento – the Crockett Sugarfest, The Stoney Rockin’ Rodeo, The Texas Back Forty in Concord and The Saddle Rack in Fremont. Lowe’s original songs “In My Heaven” and “Fallin’ Again” are fan favorites and will soon be heard on the Wolf when her latest

Country artist Pammie Lowe performs at the Rusty Porthole in Bethel Island next week. CD is released this spring. “Pammie Lowe will soon be a household name if our plans come to fruition,” said bandmember Holt. “But she isn’t doing this for fame or fortune. She’s doing this because she loves her art and loves writing songs. She wants to share that with as many people as possible; whatever else happens is great. And she still wants to do a limited number of local performances to give back to the community that has helped to launch her career.” Lowe said she’s looking forward to next week’s performance and is grateful for all the fan support she’s received from East County.

Patriots fly past Falcons by Michael Dixon Correspondent Friday’s Bay Valley Athletic League varsity boys basketball opener between Heritage and Freedom promised to be a good game. Both teams had strong preseasons and both made the playoffs last year. The opener showed that while some of the players have changed, the rivalry is alive and well. The Patriots took this chapter of the rivalry, managing a 73-61 victory. Heritage junior forward Wayne Engelstad was the top scorer on the night, netting 25. Nine of those came in the first quarter, where he converted one three-point play and made two three point shots. In total, he sunk six threes on the night. His strong first quarter gave the Patriots a 15-11 lead, and while the Falcons made several runs, they never led after the first quarter. “My team got me open; I just had to hit open shots. Everybody played well,” said Engelstad. “We had a lot of energy. We knew that we had to come out and beat these guys. They’re in our league, they’re our rivals, and we had to beat them.” Freedom senior swingman Andrew Garner, despite a sluggish start, scored a team-high 17 points. After Garner, senior guard Jeff Matteri, junior guard Jehiah Gennaro, and senior center Darrell Greene all notched eight for the Falcons. In addition to Englestad, the Patriots had two scorers in double-digits: senior forward Kyle Grant, who scored 12, and junior guard Paul Blackburn with 11. Despite Freedom’s success in recent years, its varsity team has never defeated Heritage. Included in that was a 4-0 sweep at the hands of the Patriots last year that culminated in a 75-65 loss in the first round of the North Coast Section playoffs. “It’s a new group of guys,” said Patriots head coach Pat Cruickshank. “It does feel good, though. I’m more pleased

with the effort my kids gave today. That’s the biggest thing I’ve got going now.” While the game did feature a different group of players, it was similar to all of 2010’s games – high scoring, fast, and physical. A big difference in the game came from the free-throw line. The Patriots were 22 of 31 from the line while Freedom was only 11 of 28. This was not lost on Falcons coach Drew Torres, who felt that his team played well after a sluggish start. “I’ve got to give them credit because they shot really well. Free throws for us were obviously not as good. They shot a lot better than us,” said Torres, who also noted that the physical nature of the game will likely repeat itself in the rematch. “Every league game in our league game is physical. It was a physical game, that’s how we like it. Give credit to Heritage: they were the better team tonight. They beat us.” The night was not a total loss for the Falcons, as their junior varsity team beat Heritage 57-46. Dominic Vigil led all Freedom scorers with 14 while Ryan Smith and Ethan Magalei each contributed 10 for the Patriots. On Monday, College Park topped Heritage 70-62 at the I Have a Dream Classic at Laney College. In that same event, Freedom dropped a close game to Miramonte, losing 58-57. Liberty 47, Pittsburg 39 Pittsburg High saw something special Friday night in the first BVAL game at its new gym. Unfortunately for the Pirates, it was Liberty getting its first league victory since 2008. With a strong defensive effort, the Lions pounced on Pittsburg, winning 47-39. Sophomore guard Brandon White scored a team-high 19 points. Junior guard Francisco Cortez came down with nine rebounds and recorded four steals. see Fly page 6B

Nobody knew what to expect from Flags, but she has given the Patriots a spark. Sophomore point guard Erin Asher is averaging 10 points per game along with four assists. The Patriots also get help from two sophomores who play basketball as a second sport. The first is guard/forward Haley Love, who as a freshman swimmer qualified for the North Coast Section meet. Despite her swimming schedule shortening her preseason and practice, Tamony labeled Love as one of the top players on the team.

Tamony said that on any given night, Ramirez is the best player on the team. Her greatest hope for both Ramirez and Love is that they will continue to play basketball. A notable preseason accomplishment for the Patriots was winning the Walnut Creek Classic, defeating host Northgate in the final. Another was a 3-1 record in West Coast Jamboree’s Sapphire Bracket, good enough for fifth place. Guard and co-captain Alex Grant is one of three seniors on the team. She noted that before the season, the players discussed their weaknesses and set their goals. Now, every day before practices and games, they recite the goals, which helps them prepare and play. “She’s great. She has just brought a lot to the program,” said Grant. “She knows what it takes to keep us working together well.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Nico Charvet, a goalkeeper for the Heritage High varsity soccer team, made eight saves in a recent tie with Antioch. Patriots head coach Alex Valdivia noted that Charvet has been a vital force for Heritage this season. Black Bear Diner is happy to award a Gift Certificate worth up to $15 to Athletes of the Week.

BVAL notebook: Last-second goal key by Justin Lafferty Staff Writer A goal by Freedom High varsity soccer junior forward Catherine Carter as time expired turned a potential Liberty win last week into a 3-3 tie. The outcome marked Freedom’s second straight deadlocked score in Bay Valley Athletic League play. Liberty moved to 7-1-7 (10-1 BVAL) after the game while the Falcons netted a 4-3-4 record (0-0-2 BVAL). Senior forward Krystal Espindola and sophomore midfielder Lauren Zickenberg also scored goals for Freedom. Sophomore midfielder Courtney Acamo, sophomore defender Paige Dudek and junior forward Mikayla Farber each found the net for Liberty. Falcons senior goalie Jessica Deno recorded six saves; sophomore Gabby Ciccolella was credited with five for the Lions. Freedom assistant coach Paco Gonzalez was pleased with the way his team performed against a tough Liberty team. “It was great to see our girls wake up against Liberty,” Gonzalez wrote in an e-mail. “The girls met at lunch on game day and talked about being one big family, supporting each other and staying united. You could see the intensity all game long and it paid off with the last-second tie.” The Falcons continue BVAL action by traveling to Antioch on Tuesday while the Lions face Deer Valley on the road. Heritage 3, Antioch 1 Heritage toppled Antioch last Thursday 3-1 in BVAL competition. The Patriots built up a 3-0 lead by halftime on goals by senior forward Ari Gordon, sophomore forward Jamie Barron and sophomore midfielder Taylor Allen. At the 49-minute mark, sophomore striker Makayla Hall put the Panthers on the board. Senior goalkeeper Kaitlyn Mackusick recorded nine saves while Heritage senior Katie Barsanti came down with three. The win advanced Heritage to 7-1-4; 10-1 against league teams. Antioch is now 4-81 overall and 0-2 in BVAL play. The Patriots travel to Livermore on Saturday for a nonleague matchup, then play BVAL foe Pittsburg on the road on Tuesday. The Panthers host Freedom on Tuesday.

Tied at halftime, Falcons sophomore Alec Morrison put

the go-ahead goal in the net at the 67-minute mark. Liberty junior forward Jesus Corona scored at 22 minutes. Freedom sophomore Jorge Cendejas scored the first goal for his team shortly after Corona. The Lions finished the game with a 3-6-0 record (0-2 BVAL) and host Deer Valley on Tuesday. Last weekend, the Falcons trumped non-league opponent Berean Christian 3-0, all of the scoring coming in the second half. Cendejas, junior Francisco Linares and Morrison each earned a goal. After the weekend, Freedom was 4-6-2 and 1-0-1 in league play.

The Falcons play Antioch at home on Tuesday. Deer Valley 1, Pittsburg 1 In a hard-fought battle, Deer Valley and Pittsburg finished with a 1-1 tie last week, both goals coming in the second half. Senior defenseman Mike Ortlieb was the lone scorer for the Wolverines. Freshman forward Javier Valencia notched a goal for the Pirates. Deer Valley (7-2-4, 1-0-1 BVAL) travels to Castro Valley on Saturday for a non-league game, then plays at Liberty on Tuesday. Pittsburg (5-3-3; 1-0-1 BVAL) takes on Foothill on Saturday and then goes to Heritage on Tuesday. Antioch 2, Heritage 2 All the scoring was in the books by halftime in last week’s game pitting Antioch against Heritage. The final result: a 2-2 standoff.

At the Temecula Valley Invitational, Liberty wrestler Jesse Baldazo was defeated in the three-overtime 145-pound final by Buchanan’s Damo Arredado. As a team, the Lions face Pittsburg on Wednesday. WATER POLO The Deer Valley varsity girls water polo squad’s 3.57 grade point average earned the team a North Coast Section Scholastic Championship recently. The Wolverines are the only fall BVAL team to earn such a banner. Head coach Kiel Olff said four of his Wolverines achieved a GPA of 4.0 or better. “I’m proud that we will have a NCS scholastic banner for our gym,” Olff wrote in an e-mail. “It’s very difficult to win those and being the only BVAL team of any sport to win one feels great. … I hope we can win many more.” Lisa Carter contributed to this story.

Heritage keeps rolling as league play starts The Heritage High girls varsity basketball team started Bay Valley Athletic League play in dominating fashion, thumping Freedom 68-21 last week. Sophomore guard Erin Asher scored a game-high 16 points for the Patriots. Sophomore post player Sabrina Englestad contributed 12. For the Falcons, sophomore guards Elsie Ross and Michelle Ponte each notched five points. On Monday, Heritage doubled up Kennedy from Richmond at the home

Martin Luther King Classic, claiming a 60-30 win. Asher again led the Patriots, this time with 20 points. The victory advanced Heritage’s record to 12-5 (1-0 BVAL). The Patriots travel to Antioch on Friday. Freedom 42, Alhambra 41 Also in the Martin Luther King Classic at Heritage, Freedom eked out a 42-41 win over Alhambra. Ross led the Falcons with 15 points; junior center Nicole Mass contributed 11 for Freedom, which ended the game 6-11 (0-1 BVAL).

The Falcons had a tough time trying to stop Bulldogs freshman forward Taylor Berry, who scored 24 points that night. Freedom hosts rival Liberty on Friday. Deer Valley 44, St. Francis 31 Deer Valley senior guard Raven Fox scored a game-high 23 points as the Wolverines beat St. Francis 44-31 on Monday in the Terra Nova Shootout, near Pacifica. Deer Valley led 19-17 at halftime, but

a 16-point third quarter boosted the Wolverines to victory. Senior forward Kayla Alexander chipped in seven points. The win gave Deer Valley an 8-5 record. Pittsburg 48, Liberty 45 To start league play, Pittsburg topped Liberty in a close 48-45 victory. Junior center Bernadette Fong led the Lions with 25 points. Sophomore guard Gabrielle Freeman contributed six. Sophomore guard Janeek Mollique scored a team-high 14 points for the Pirates.

Tearing through the waves The Brentwood SeaWolves sent a record 16 swimmers to the 14U Junior Olympic Swim Championships in Pleasanton. Stanley Wu was the SeaWolves most dominant swimmer, posting times of 10:32 in the 1,000 Freestyle (ﬁfth place), 17:34 in the 1,650 Freestyle (second place), 1:06 in the 100 Breast Stroke (10th place), 2:20 in the 200 Breast Stroke (sixth place), 2:12 in the 200 Butterﬂy (seventh place), 2:06 in the 200 IM (ninth place) and 4:27 in the 400 IM (seventh place).

Fly from page 2B Liberty head coach Jon Heinz praised the team effort his squad put in, advancing their record to 9-7 overall. “These kids have bought in,” Heinz said. “They deserved it. They worked very hard. I have 11 kids that will play hard night in, night out.” The Lions and Pirates were tied up going into the fourth quarter. It was a three-pointer with about two minutes left in the game by guard Matt Sisneros – one of three seniors on the team – that clinched the game for Liberty. From that point on, said Heinz, the Lions just rolled. The coach also praised Cortez’s defensive work. Cortez was matched up with Pittsburg’s leading scorer, Kristopher Manning, and

held him to 10 points. The Lions were able to prevent Manning and the other Pirates from playing to their strength, stifling them on the perimeter. Heinz said Pittsburg normally attempts 30 to 40 three-pointers per game, but were held to around 10 attempts on Friday night. “The kids are excited,” Heinz said. “They were begging me to practice tomorrow.” Liberty clawed Livermore on Monday, beating the Cowboys 98-70 in the I Have a Dream Classic. White scored 24 points while Sisneros added 22. On Friday, Liberty hosts Freedom while the Pirates welcome Deer Valley. Staff writer Justin Lafferty contributed to this story.

Coalition cares for seniors by Marla Luckhardt For the past few years, many conversations have started with “in these economic times.” We’ve all changed our spending habits, either from necessity or fear, and when I meet people who take time out of their busy schedules to help others, I’m honored. That’s how I feel about the people in the Senior Coalition of the East Bay, a group of caring volunteers that gets together once a month to share ideas and solutions regarding issues involving seniors. Senior Center Without Walls is a free program that offers activities, friendly conversation and an assortment of classes to adults over 60 who find it difficult to get connected to activities in their communities. From the comfort of your own home, you can use the telephone to connect to programs such as a book group, guided tours of other countries, word games, puzzles, bird watching and support groups. To see how you can participate, call 510-444-5974 (toll free: 877-797-7299. Friendly Visitors at Meals on Wheels by Senior Outreach Services is an organiza-

tion that provides more than meals; it provides isolated seniors a caring, dependable visitor – one-time or weekly, and free of charge – with a positive outlook and a big smile. Take a walk, share memories, enjoy a cup of tea, work on your favorite puzzle, play a game of cards – or just chat. To hear more about Friendly Visitors, call program manager Susannah Meyer at 925-937-8311, e-mail smeyer@mowsos.org or visit www. mowsos.org. These two programs are just the tip of my iceberg. Everything they offer is done from the heart and for no financial gain. Their reward is a smile and perhaps a hug! I recently wrote an article about An Elderly Wish, which was followed up with a great article by a Press reporter. I wanted to share a quick update and let you know that a wonderful family responded to these articles, and a special family reunion took place as a result. This made my heart sing! Marla Luckhardt is a Discovery Bay resident and member of the East Contra Costa Senior Coalition. She works with several local senior care and advocacy groups. To contact her, e-mail marla2054@aol.com.
