Civic Center top-off an iron-clad deal by Ger Erickson Staff Writer

Phase One of Brentwood’s Civic Center project was the object of pride and pomp in a ceremony held last Friday at the downtown construction site. The event was the Topping Off rite that traditionally marks the unofficial “end of the beginning” of a major construction project. The last beam bolted to the superstructure is no ordinary hunk of steel. It’s painted white and inscribed with the signatures of those present – politicians and ironworkers, city staff and union bosses, journalists and casual onlookers – names soon walled over but as permanent as the edifice itself. Among those on hand to secure their place in history were two who had invested far more than an autograph in the project: Brentwood Mayor Robert Taylor and City Manager Donna Landeros. Taylor welcomed everyone to step up and sign in, and informed the crowd that “we anticipate the parking structure, City Hall and Civic Center will be completed by May or June of 2011, and the park by that October – ready for the holidays.” The ceremonial field beam was hoisted, swung over to the Civic Center’s silhouette and fastened to the topmost headers. According to Landeros, whose current office window faces west toward the future City Hall and gives her a vivid view of project’s progress, “Everybody has been working so smoothly. No hiccups. I’m absolutely

It’s not just a job for them.” A recurring theme throughout the event was the degree of local labor hired to make the project happen. Of the six carpenters currently on the project’s work force, three hail from Brentwood; one from Oakley. “We made sure the promises for local hiring were kept. We think it’s really important,” said Tom Quinn, senior field representative of Carpenters Local Union 152

Ironworker business agent Jason Gallia put a number to the local-hiring claim. “Six out of the 14 ironworkers (Local 378) are from Brentwood. And we’re not just putting up beams. As we work our way up the buildings, we’ll be doing ornamental handrails, ornamental fixtures. It’s a complete job.” One of those local hires, “raising gang” ironworker and Brentwood resident Kenny Smith, wasn’t complaining. “I love it,” said Smith. “The commute’s great: about five

minutes – even hitting all the red lights on the way.” When asked about the effect on the project of this year’s wet winter and spring, Iron Workers Local 378 President Robert Lux reinforced the upbeat tone of the day. “We’re two days ahead of schedule on City Hall and three days ahead of schedule on the Civic Center,” said Lux, confirming Feere’s statement that the project is “coming in under budget and ahead of schedule.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Mentors sought for new PAL program by Samie Hartley Staff Writer The Brentwood Police Activities League program recently received a grant from the National Association of Police Activities Leagues, Inc. to begin a mentoring program to help community members create relationships with youth who lack self-esteem, perform poorly in school and require motivation. “We feel that mentors are an important force in improving the lives of youth,” said PAL Mentoring Coordinator Laura Ceja. “A trusting relationship with a caring adult will provide stability and often has a profound, life-changing effect on the child. Mentors can build self-esteem, attitudes, academic performance, social skills and life skills.” The grant requires that the mentoring program serves 30 to 40 children in grades five through eight, so a minimum of 20 mentors is needed to get this program off the ground, as one mentor may work with as many as three students. Mentors, who must be between the ages of 16 and 99, are required to spend at least one hour per week with their mentee – a minimum of four hours per month. The pilot program runs through next April, and potential mentors must be prepared to commit to the long haul. Mentors and their mentees will take part in a variety of activities, such as bowling, playing board games, or taking part in a PAL karate workshop at Verrett’s Karate Kenpo. Mentors may also help with homework, discuss life issues or just hang out as friends. Ceja said the PAL program is also in the process of organizing two group field trips to bring all the kids and mentors together for a day of fun.

“ Studies from mentor consulting groups have shown that mentors also benefited from the relationship as much as youth with whom they are working.

”

Laura Ceja “Studies from mentor consulting groups have shown that mentors also benefited from the relationship as much as youth with whom they are working,” Ceja said. “Mentors improved their attitude at work, got a fresh perspective on life, learned more about themselves, schools, the community and children. We hope that mentors will receive a long-term pal with the students and hopefully receive a gratifying experience.” Ceja said all mentors participate in a training course that lays out the details of the program and establishes what’s expected of the volunteers. Ceja believes mentors help not merely one child; they help the community. “I think Mr. Rogers says it best,” Ceja said. “‘We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It’s easy to say: it’s not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem. Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider these people my heroes.’ We see the mentors in our community to be our heroes.” To learn more about the PAL mentoring program or to sign up, call Ceja at 925809-7768 or e-mail lceja2101@yahoo.com.

PRE-APPROVED SHORT SALES? Last week I discussed how some short sales are priced at prices so low they seem “too good to be true.” Most often this happens when the seller and/or agent are just fishing for an offer, any offer, even if there is little chance that the bank will accept such a low number. They are just hoping the bank will counter the offer to somewhere around market value, and that the buyer may come up to the bank’s counter. But why go through such a painful process of guessing what the bank will take? Won’t the bank let you know ahead of time what they will take on a short sale? The sad answer is that usually the bank WON’T release that information. That’s why most short sales are so frustrating, because it’s a guessing game as to what the bank will accept. In the past, the only way to get around this situation is when you have a short sale offer that DOES get accepted by the bank, but then the deal falls apart prior to closing. In that case, the listing agent does know what number the bank will accept on that property, so they can market that short sale as a “pre-

approved” short sale. These are much more attractive to buyers, obviously, because they know the list price is at least close to what the bank will accept. Well, hopefully the winds of change are blowing in regards to pre-approved short sales. It’s taken a long time, but more lenders are starting to express an interest in doing their homework ahead of time (verifying the Seller’s financial info and hardship and then doing an appraisal of the property) to where they can put in writing what type of offer they will accept on the property PRIOR to putting it on the market. I’ve written several times about the new HAFA government short sale program which makes use of pre-approved short sales. So while pre-approved short sales aren’t common yet, look for that to change later this year (at least I hope!).

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage Matters By Trevor Frey

Translation Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM): a heart condition that causes abnormal thickening of a part of the heart muscle, and, under serious exercise, can lead to a potentially fatal irregular heart rhythm. The only way to reduce this risk is to put significant life-long restrictions on exercise. In other words, professional athletes with this condition have to give up their contracts, and local weekend warriors with HCM spend more time with their families and less time reliving their glory days. Staying with the professional athlete side of this scenario, can you imagine working your entire life towards one goal, reaching that goal, and then have it taken from you based on events and actions outside of your control? Sure you can…if you are losing your home, or debating a short-sale, based on nothing more than the economic times we find ourselves in, then you and Zac Herold – a 17 year old soccer prodigy who had to give up his contract with Toronto Football Club based on the specialist’s conclusion that he suffered from HCM – are in similar situations. You both achieved a dream, only to have it taken from you by circumstances you had no power over. Now in Zac’s case it has been documented that before coming to terms with his reality he sought out the advice of multiple doctors, and team trainers alike. This only makes sense as “medical practice” is not “medical absolute” and it is quite possible to receive 10 different

diagnoses from 10 different doctors. Using that logic, but applying it to your home situation, wouldn’t it be wise to be proactive and seek the advice of industry professionals before coming to a full-blown conclusion? As cardiologists know terms such as HCM, real estate professionals know terms such as Notice of Default (NOD), Trustee sale, short-sale, REO, and foreclosure, all too well in this day and age. True professionals are here to help, not hurt, while you are going through this extremely emotional time. A good doctor does not talk over you when explaining what happened during surgery. They could run right through it, that’s what they do for a living so it is like breathing to them, but they understand you are scared and want to have you confide in them. What you are looking for is a translator - someone who can help you fully understand your situation, put each step of the way into terms that you understand, and ensure your peace of mind. If you find yourself in this situation feel free to call so I can aid to the best of my ability. In the meantime I recommend the following professional translators; www.cbamaral. net, www.gotshortsalesolutions.com, www. shortsaleexperts.com.

Special Olympics – a parade of possibilities by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer Mercedes Lizardo had been waiting all week for the big event, and by the time the 14-year-old hit the track Friday morning, her energy level was at a fever pitch. “Oh, yeah, she’s been bouncing all week,” said Mercedes’ brother Fernando. “This is a big deal for her; it’s a big deal for us, too.” Mercedes was one of hundreds of students from East County’s elementary, middle and high schools who participated in the track and field Special Olympics competition on May 14 at Liberty High School in Brentwood. The annual events – traditionally held three times a year at schools throughout the county – are an opportunity for students, parents and teachers to come together in a celebration of friendship, achievement and hope. The students arrived in organized groups and casual clusters. They came with their families and teachers and friends. They dressed in bright reds, yellows and orange, some carrying papier-mâché Olympic torches, others wearing simple lanyards and nametags. But whether the athletes made their way around the track in wheelchairs, on foot or with the support of aides, each personified the true spirit of the Olympics and the triumph of the human spirit.

Local Olympians came out to celebrate and compete last week at the third annual East County School Based Special Olympics. The track and ﬁeld event was held at Liberty High School in Brentwood.

“These Olympics are to mirror the hard work and dedication that our students provide throughout the year, including sportsmanship, physical fitness and developmental skills,” said Diane Misasi of the Contra Costa County Office of Education. “It’s for the community, the students and staff. It’s a wonderfully successful event.” This year’s competition – as does each Special Olympics event – began with the Parade of Athletes followed by the singing of the National Anthem by an attending athlete, and finally the arrival of the Olympic torch.

Students participated in individual and relay team races. For Mercedes, who has Down Syndrome, the outing was an opportunity to visit, celebrate and participate. But it was also an opportunity to level the playing field. “What we love about this for Mercedes, and all the kids, is that the Special Olympics is a fair opportunity for everyone to participate,” said Lizardo. “This is her chance to go out and compete and have some fun.” “These kids are the best kids in the world; the best students in the world,” agreed Joanne

Lindevald, a teacher’s aide at Liberty High School. “And so are the families. Everyone gets involved, and everyone has a great time.” The Contra Costa County Special Olympics, a local branch of the national organization founded in 1962 by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, organizes sporting events throughout the county on regional and district levels.

Heritage High hosts official DUI trial by Elysia Cook Correspondent

The young man sitting on the Heritage High School theater stage last Thursday could have passed as a drama student, except that he didn’t perform a monologue or a skit. Instead, he received a court conviction in front of hundreds of Heritage students and faculty that found him guilty of both driving under the influence and driving with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 percent or higher on the night of December 20, 2009. The courtroom scene was the climax of the DUI Court in Schools program put on at Heritage to show students the severe consequences of drinking and driving in a real court situation, and featured 12 Heritage students acting as shadow jurors. Heritage was only one of three schools in the Bay Area chosen to participate in the program this year. According to Matt Carr, event coordinator and law and government teacher at Heritage, “It (the DUI Court) was meant to impact students and show them the effects of drinking alcohol … because we have our Law and Government Academy here, it was really a benefit for us. I wrote up a proposal and we were the first school chosen to film the event for CCTV. We have law and government, mock trials, and video broadcasting, so the cross curriculum was a great oppor-

Austin of District 33 of the Contra Costa County Superior Court introduced the case as People of the State versus Tyson Ranalli. Deputy District Attorney Matt Caron presented

the county’s case against Ranalli, and Assistant Public Defender Jack Funk represented the defendant. Brentwood Police Officer Casey McNerthney, the arresting officer, also spoke as a witness, and criminalist Shana Neidrum offered her expert opinion as a qualified forensic alcohol analyst. Ranalli was charged with two offenses: driving under the influence and, according to a Draeger breath test, registering a blood alcohol

content (BAC) of .15 and .16 (it’s illegal for those under the age of 21 to have a BAC above .01 percent – whether or not they’re behind the wheel). “This is about the choices we make, and holding somebody responsible for those choices,” Caron said to the jurors during the trial. “I’m going to ask that you find him (Ranalli) guilty on both counts.” The duration of the trial gave both sides opportunities to present their cases and rebuttals, though due to time restraints, Ranalli was not able to testify. “Driving is a divided-attention task,” Neidrum said during her time on the witness stand. “You’re asked to do multiple things, and that’s why alcohol, being a depressant, can affect your divided attention to those tasks.” She added that one drink increases the BAC level in the average person about 0.03 percent, so to register a .15 percent and .16 percent BAC level is the equivalent to “4.2 plus or minus one drink for a 100-pound male.” Funk, however, argued that Ranalli could not have been drunk when he first started driving, but by the end of the 37minute interval that began with his taking the wheel and ended with the breath test, his BAC level could have risen past 0.08 percent. see Trial page 14A

Mission of trustworthiness ongratulations to the following Mission Elementary students of the month for exemplifying Trustworthiness – the Pillar of Character for the month of April: In the front row, from left, are Valeria Madrigal, Liliana Sandoval, Olivia Ornelas, Rose Montoya, Kaliyah Dunn, Alex Ferguson, Andrew Gonzalez, Diego Gutierrex and Jasmin Rodriguez; center row: Gage Engen, Vivianna Rubin, Yaneli Aguilar, Leilany McClure, Kacie Perez, Jesus Herrera, Daniel Doan and Angel Hernandez; back row: Nesrine Nekkab, Erik Reynoso, Elisa Rendon, Stacy Duarte, Matthew Schmidt, Mauricio Valladares and Ariana Moreno. Not pictured is Caleb Dutro.

Teacher from page 8A receive the recognition for our school,” said Leach, who teaches third and fourth grade. “It (Teacher of the Year) could have been me or anyone else from our school. I share this with my colleagues and my team of teachers and the students who do all the hard work.” The married Brentwood resident, who is also the track coach at Edna Hill Middle School, said that teaching is her passion and believes that every child matters: “I truly, truly believe from the bottom of my heart that all students can learn. I’m just so sure of it. Students need to know that learning isn’t always easy, but it is essential, and that we learn through trial and error. We only fail when we quit.” Graham teaches ninth- and 10thgrade English at Libby-Dozier Medical High School in Antioch, and considers the reward for doing a job you love the best reward of all. “This is the first time I’ve been selected for any kind of award at all, and it’s quite an honor to be recognized by your colleagues,” said Graham. “It’s been a little nerve-wracking to be under the microscope but it’s all very nice.” The married mother of five said that while there are constants in her job – the novels students are required to read, and the standard guidelines for testing and achievement must be met – her work is far from perfunctory. “Some things in my job are set but there are many things that are not,” said Graham. “My job changes every hour of every day, and I enjoy that. I love working with young people and I think that I do a good job – at least I hope I do.” Next month, the field will be narrowed down to three county Teacher of the Year candidates, who will go on to compete for the title. The winner on the county level will be announced in September, and move on as a candidate for State Teacher of the Year. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Trial from page 12A â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is reasonable doubt,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and it is your obligation as jurors to return the verdict that he (Ranalli) is not guilty.â&#x20AC;? After hearing arguments from both sides, the jurors deliberated for 20 minutes and returned to the courtroom with a guilty verdict on both counts. Unlike trials held in court, their deliberation was recorded live and streamed throughout the school for other students to view. Once their decision was issued, Judge Austin announced that he had also found the defendant guilty on both counts, and that Ranalli would be sentenced at a later date. Ranalliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s willingness to allow his trial to be conducted at Heritage is expected to be considered favorably when his sentence is handed down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would have to say my favorite part of the case would have to be when we were in the deliberation room,â&#x20AC;? juror and junior Kaitlynn Manhallan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt like what I said was important and ultimately could change the teenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was interesting,â&#x20AC;? Jon Quezon, another juror, said of the event, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but they could have explained more about the process. A lot of people probably didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what was going on, like understand what the criminalist was for.â&#x20AC;? Tyler Rust, who leads the Mock Trials Club and teaches mock trials and U.S. history classes at Heritage, was pleased with the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outcome. He said that the trial taught students â&#x20AC;&#x153;courtroom procedure, and the application of

1$785$/ 6721(

48$57=

62/,' 685)$&,1*

law versus the interpretation of an event. The law says one thing and can be very narrow, and the interpretation of the event is very broad.â&#x20AC;? He added that the event teaches students â&#x20AC;&#x153;how a momentary bad decision can lead to a very bad punishment,â&#x20AC;? as well as â&#x20AC;&#x153;what they (his students) do in Mock Trials applies in the courtroom.â&#x20AC;? Manhollan echoed Rustâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sentiments, saying that â&#x20AC;&#x153;those classes (mock trials, and law and government) helped me make the decision I did by using the info Mr. Rust gave us, like how the defendants will try to trick you.â&#x20AC;? Even though his client lost the case, Funk praised the DUI Court in Schools program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It brings it (the consequences of drinking and driving) in a more real-world sense,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here you have a real person who is not much older than the students. When they see a person closer to their peer group, it resonates.â&#x20AC;? To close the event, the trial participants took questions from the audience and reiterated the purpose of the trial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt embarrassed to sit up here and show you guys what not to follow,â&#x20AC;? Ranalli said when asked about his experience with the program. In response to a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s question about what to do when faced with calling a parent or driving drunk, Officer McNerthney strongly encouraged students to choose the former. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole lot better than spending time in jail,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Measure F: just another housing development by Kathy Griffin Brentwood Resident Although proponents of Measure F would like to call those who would vote against them as No Growth Opponents, this isn’t even close to the truth. It would be naïve to believe that this area would never be developed. The people of Brentwood should support the city’s existing General Plan when developing land, not the landowner and developer’s plan written for their benefit UEST that is ingrained in Measure COMMENT F. If it were true that the main objective of this measure was to ensure that only the City of Brentwood and its residents dictate the future purpose of this property, then why have they burdened this measure to such an extreme with its binding developer agreement? Why have they made such an attempt to circumvent the process that the city requires of all other developers to build in our city, and why do we have a General Plan if we allow it to be blatantly and completely discarded by developer-driven measures? You have to read the full text of Measure F to understand the advantages they’ve afforded themselves. Let’s take a look at the alarming language contained in the 58-page initiative that is Measure F: 1. The term of their agreement extends for 20 years, up to 10 years past our current General plan (Sec. 1.03). They are even protected against General Plan updates. 2. The agreement gives them the vested right to develop up to 1,300 homes and 35 acres of commercial. A vested right

is an entitlement, not a question “if homes can get built.” (Sec. 2.01). 3. The agreement gives them the right to develop in such order, at such rate and at such times as the owners deem appropriate within the exercise of their subjective business judgment (Sec. 2.06). It’s in their control, plus they’ve exempted themselves from moratoriums or any other limit placed on development timing (Sec. 2.04). 4. The Jobs Contribution and the Recreational Contribution shall be in lieu of and constitute full satisfaction and compliance with any and all obligations the owners would have otherwise had to process, obtain allocations or otherwise comply in any manner with the city’s Residential Growth Management Program (Sec 3.03). All other developments must have 140 RGMP points to qualify; their in-lieu contribution, based on the city’s scoring system, comes to about 15 points. The Jobs Program is broadly defined and unfocused in its application and implementation – will it actually have any longevity and lasting impact to this community? Will the recreation contribution be enough to complete a sports facility without added cash from the city? If not, will it ever be built? 5. The acreage set aside for parks is the minimum required for adding 4,000 residents, 5 acres per 1,000 persons, 15 to 20 acres (Sec. 3.05). 6. City Development Impact Fees will be paid consistent with the city’s program, including but not limited to road fees, water facility fees, park and trails (Sec. 3.06). Changes to American Avenue and Balfour will be constructed at the time development proceeds and in a manner consistent with the city’s 2005 Development Fee Program (Sec. 3.09).

LETTERS Antioch money grab Editor: The March 12 Antioch Press article “Big rate hike for big trash users” reported the Antioch City Council’s approval, by a 4-1 vote, to allow Allied Waste Services (AWS) to gouge customers by an extra 26 or 27 percent for the next 15 years. The implication is that it’s for people who produce a lot of garbage, and that those who switch to the impractical 26-gallon can size will actually be rewarded with a minuscule savings. Talk about a load of garbage! As I

watched the trucks zoom past all the empty houses on my street this morning, it became apparent that this is a bald-faced money grab to compensate for the lack of funds due to foreclosures. This proves that the trickle-down theory doesn’t work for citizens, only businesses. And what they allow to trickle down aren’t benefits, but costs. So, as Big Business and Big Government have done their best to crush the hardworking taxpayers of our country, it will be up to local businesses and local governments to sweep up the remains. Antioch’s City Council ruined what remained of our property values by wooing an increasing number of Section 8, and allowed remaining decent residents to be screwed by backdoor dealings. There are worse places to live than Antioch, but we’re going down fast, thanks to them. Tommy Ray Antioch

An old-timer’s perspective in Measure F Editor: I am a lifelong resident of Brentwood and spent 34 years as a teacher and counselor in the Brentwood Union School District. My family has farmed in Brentwood and East County since 1916. I consider myself an old-timer. I am concerned about a few

Both references to “consistent with” mean satisfaction of a city requirement, not over and above contributions. 7. Highway 4 Bypass Regional Fee requirement of $20 million. The Bypass needs $100 million to complete. The effect of non-completion with the population impact from this development as well as the other 4,153 houses approved but not yet built – worsened traffic gridlock. To vote on Measure F: Think about the money that’s being thrown at the effort ($91K, 3/17/10), authorizing 1,300 homes and 35 acres of commercial we don’t need, their contract running for 20 years, only designating an elementary school site while adding 1,350 kids (Brentwood Press, 5/14/10) to the closest schools already impacted in the area, promise of a sports field without firm location, supposed low density, high-end housing yet up to 1/3 can be 2,000-4,000-square-foot lots, condos and duets – we could go on. We know it’s not our property, but Measure F asks us to move the ULL for landowners so they can annex their county parcels into our city; then they embedded a massive housing/commercial development and dictated to us its components in a binding development agreement – that’s where you lost us – we cannot support this Measure. You ask too much by stipulating everything in advance, overriding our city’s own General Plan for our western border. Vote No on Measure F – it’s just another housing development. Kathy Griffin is the principal officer for Brentwood Residents Opposed to Developer Measure F. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

EDITOR

misunderstandings with Measure F. First, the developers are being perceived as outsiders. They are people I have known, and have lived in Brentwood for over 40 years. Some of them are my former students. Several of them are people I have been on committees with as a former director of the BUSD Foundation and presently the John Marsh Historic Trust. They are the first to volunteer their service and money, time and time again, at fundraisers for the good of everyone in Brentwood. They are people who continue to give back to our community. They live here, as do their children and grandchildren. Second, I want to thank Helen Allen and Rob Schroder for the informational letter they wrote to the Brentwood Press in the May 7 issue. My late husband, Bill Bristow, spent several years as a commissioner on LAFCO with Helen and Rob. He highly respected their opinions and their dedication as LAFCO commissioners. It is important that we listen to what they said, and I quote: “If the voters of Brentwood indicate their lack of interest in this area by defeating Measure F, LAFCO could reconsider its intention to direct this land to Brentwood by amending the city’s SOI (sphere of influence). Additionally, if the people of Antioch decide to expand their urban limit line to include the area along Balfour Road, LAFCO would give that great weight.”

LAFCO is a powerful agency that decides land annexation and in essence how cities grow. It is composed of 11 impartial commissioners that are appointed. At present, the commissioners reside in various cities all over the county. When my husband passed away, he was replaced by a Concord resident. I am concerned we no longer have a Brentwood voice on the LAFCO commission. It is important to know that the City of Brentwood requires every developer to dedicate and build a 5-acre park or pay fees to the city for every 1,000 residents in their project. There are 58 parks in the city, and 51 were built by developers. It doesn’t matter if you are a newcomer or an old-timer. We all have the same equal obligation to contribute to the positive growth of Brentwood. The question is simple: Do we want the 740-acre parcel of land and the future of Brentwood to be determined by a county agency and ultimately the city of Antioch? Or do we choose local developers who have invested their lives here for over 40 years, and the city of Brentwood made up of our neighbors? I am voting Yes on Measure F. I encourage you to do the same. Patty Bristow Brentwood see Letters page 19A

MAY 21, 2010

Letters from page 18A Press endorsement self-serving Editor: The Brentwood Press should have presented the facts about Measure F, but stayed neutral without endorsing. You have a financial stake is this measure and really didn’t disclose it. If 1,300 more homes are built, you get 1,300 new subscribers. You will also have more potential advertisers from any commercial development in the project. I am disappointed in your endorsement. You have always put the community first, but in this case you stand to benefit from your endorsement. Lanny Brown Brentwood

Mayors exemplify informed voting Editor: Mayor Taylor has joined three former mayors – Mayor Guise, Mayor Swisher and Mayor Moore – in supporting Measure F. Mayor Taylor and these former mayors took the time to study the history of this western Balfour area, studied the facts presented in Measure F and determined what is in the best interest of Brentwood. They support Measure F. The opponents will not share the past, do not provide facts or indicate any plan for what may be best for Brentwood’s future. Read your sample ballots. Look at the names of those who support this measure and study the facts presented in the proponent and opponent arguments. It becomes overwhelmingly obvious that Measure F provides a plan of Brentwood control in this area that protects Brentwood’s future. Help protect Brentwood’s future and vote yes on Measure F. Gil Dominguez Brentwood

Don’t take Vasco safety for granted Editor: Yesterday, Jeff Altman contacted me about the Vasco Road article in the May 6 edition of the Brentwood Press. How exciting that finally a safety barrier is going in on the 1.5-mile stretch of Brushy Creek! This whole process began after Patricia was killed on Vasco Road on Aug. 10, 2003. Jeff and I never wanted to have another family go through what he and his sons did, and unfortunately a Vasco tragedy struck a few more times. We worked

THEPRESS.NET

tirelessly to ensure that the elected officials listened to us at multiple meetings so safety enhancements were installed sooner rather than later. It was quite an education and a challenge going through this process. There have been baby safety steps over the years (multiple police agency presence for speed enforcement, rumble strips, vertical delineators and signage). Even though I am in the state of Washington, I still have good friends who commute that road and the occasional hubby business trip that takes him back to Northern California to drive Vasco Road. Just remember that even though a barrier is going to be installed, you have to be a responsible driver. Please respect the speed limit (it is not the Autobahn), do not drink and drive, and do not illegally pass, text or talk on your cell phone while driving. Also, if you are pulling a trailer, ensure that it is properly and safely attached and not over the weight limit before beginning your trek on the road. Being irresponsible is an equation for another tragedy. Joanne Greene-Flynn Buckley, Wash.

LAFCO helped create need for F Editor: I am writing today to express my support for Measure F. I have been unhappy with both the proponents and opponents on the issue to date. However, I am in favor of local land use control and fixing the dangerous road problems at Balfour and American Avenue. The American Avenue road was and always has been planned for a loop back to Balfour Road. That is evidenced by the street stub currently in place at the end of the existing American Avenue. As a member of the Brentwood Planning Commission (1990-92), City Council (1992-93, 2000-04) and mayor (1993-96), I have personal knowledge of what was planned for during the design process of both schools and at the time in the planning of areas SPA G and H in the City of Brentwood’s General Plan. I sat in the LAFCO hearings at the time the proposal was taken to LAFCO for the original annexation of this property. I can tell you for a fact that the proposal that was presented and ultimately what was approved were entirely different, thanks to LAFCO. A number of members of

LAFCO at the time (none of those who have written on the issue recently) wanted to express their personal opinions on how we should live our lives in East County despite good and safe planning logic. These LAFCO members were also being influenced by a few members of the County Board of Supervisors that had just passed the new ULL guidelines. The few members of the Board of Supervisors also had seats on the LAFCO board at the time. The LAFCO vote that created the current situation at Balfour and American Avenue, and the terrible city boundaries that were created, was at the time and still is the biggest injustice to the residents of the Brentwood that LAFCO can do to any community. Talk about not having local control. The LAFCO members who voted in favor of the current design lived in cities from West and Central County. Some served on LAFCO as representatives from park, sewer and water special districts with little or no knowledge of what was occurring in Brentwood at the time. A Yes vote for Measure F is only the first step in fixing what those from other cities and special districts have done to all of us in Brentwood. Neither of the school districts nor the City of Brentwood wanted the current configuration. LAFCO has the stains of that poor decision on its hands at our expense. I am also in agreement with the editorial by Rick Lemyre of the Press dated May 14, 2010. Vote Yes on Measure F. Bill Hill Former Mayor of Brentwood

Demand an end to deceit and confusion Editor: I just heard Brandon Richey has joined Johnny Merrill and Kathy Griffin to oppose Measure F. This is sadly surprising. Johnny Merrill has openly condemned the City Council and the Brentwood school districts with letters to the editor full of misinformation that the city and districts’ poor planning of American Avenue created their own traffic problems. He always knew it was the County Board of Supervisors and ultimately a county vote that created that problem. Now Johnny joins against the only

19A

solution to solve the problem. Brandon Richey ran for Council on the line “Don’t let Brentwood become another Antioch” and now will run again supporting an effort that opens the door for Antioch to take land from Brentwood control that for 20 years has been planned to be in Brentwood. Kathy Griffin is the ringmaster who continues any tactic, no matter how insulting or contradictory to her last “false fact,” as a means to deceive and confuse Brentwood voters. Brandon, particularly as a police officer, should stand for truth and honesty. I am truly disappointed that Brandon is drawn into these kinds of negative, deceitful efforts. I hope in light of this recent disgusting phone poll he will, as any other honest person should, withdraw his support. This latest fake phone poll, hiding from the responsibility of being forthright while inundating Brentwood voters with slanderous innuendos and overtones of racial bias, is the worst effort to insult Brentwood voters I have ever seen. Brentwood voters must take action to demonstrate they are not stupid and will not allow people like this to take over their city. Demand an end to these actions against the good people of Brentwood. Vote yes on Measure F. Dan Hillenbrand Brentwood

Checkbook politics Editor: My name is Mike Hyde. I was part of a grassroots effort that defeated the attempt by the developers to change the urban line limit (ULL) in 2005. We won by 119 votes and in the Brentwood Press after the election we said that they (the proponents) would return … well, they’re back! In 2006 I ran for council on a smartgrowth platform and lost, but in that election there was a county wide ULL measure that did pass, allowing each city to redraw its own ULL for future use, and it was developer driven (of course). There was a great phrase on the front page in the Brentwood Press shortly after the election of 2006. This phrase, in my opinion, defined that election and the future elections. It read “checkbook politics blew into Brentwood.” This was true in 2006, and in my opinion, we are living with the results in 2010. see Letters page 20A

THEPRESS.NET

Letters from page 19A In the 2006 election there was an outside developer group that spent tens of thousands of dollars on a few Brentwood mayoral and council candidates races. I want to be clear that these “darlings of the developers” did not directly accept money from this group; they stood silently by while the money was spent on their behalf. The person who had the most money spent by this group in 2006 was Annette Beckstrand (who was soundly defeated by Bob Taylor in 2006). In my opinion, seeing that she is involved in Measure F (after all but leaving local politics after the 2006 election) is no coincidence at all. Councilman Chris Becnel had around $20K spent on his behalf by this same

outside developer group. Why does more housing have to be part of the equation? In my opinion, this is where those outside developer groups are looking to get some return on their investment (ROI) from the election of 2006. The election of 2006 taught me that the voters in Brentwood are a fickle bunch, who will vote for candidates not as much on the issues but rather on who had the fancy multicolored flyers, large signs sporting scare phrases, or promises of a rosy future for campaign slogans. I opened the Brentwood Press last week and saw the colorful full-page ad extolling the wonderful things that are going to happen when the developer-driven Measure F passes in the next election. I also have

read the letters to the editors saying about the same mantra, noting the real-estaterelated names of the writers who all are saying about the same thing and vehemently attacking those who disagree with them. In my opinion, this is all an extension of checkbook politics blowing into Brentwood. Why do we need more housing? Don’t we have enough vacant and bank-owned housing units now? How will additional housing units help us regain the equity that all of us have lost? Why are so many realtors gung-ho about adding new and unsold houses to a city that is still struggling with the fallout from mortgage industry meltdown a few years ago? I laugh when the proponents of Measure F use the word “surplus” and “high-end housing.” I thought Deer Ridge, Shadow Lakes and the other developments were “highend housing” and I believe we have plenty of “surplus” housing in almost every development in the city! In my opinion, the proponents of Measure F want all of us to check our brains at the door and believe that voting yes on Measure F will cure all that ails the Brentwood real estate market. They also want you the voter to look the other way while a small group of real estate “experts” and mortgage bankers (bandits, really) and the ever-present puppet master developers build exactly what we do not need … more unsold housing units. I sincerely hope the attitude of the

Brentwood voters will change in time to vote down this “porky boondoggle” and see this Measure F for what it really is … another attempt by special interests to stick it to the residents and line their pockets in the process. We can fight this special-interest invasion in Brentwood by voting the sitting council members out of office in November and vote in candidates who are running for office to protect Brentwood rather then trying to sell us out for their own profit. Always passionate about Brentwood, Mike Hyde

Foundation, family, future Editor: In my 18 years of life, I have been taught numerous life lessons. I have been taught to be a man of my word, stand up for what I believe in and to do the right thing, no matter what. In the short amount of time I have heard about Measure F, I have not seen a single trait that I have described above be represented by “F” opponents. I have heard slanderous lies about numerous Brentwood figureheads, including that of my own stepfather, Emil Geddes. I have heard the lies about what the chief goal of Measure F is. Most importantly, I have seen how far the average citizen of a very nice community will stoop in order to be heard. I have been at Heritage for my entire time within high school. For about two see Letters page 21A

MAY 21, 2010

years or so, I rode my bike roughly four miles each way, two times a day in American Avenue traffic. Now that I drive myself and my sister, who is a freshman, to school, I watch as those horrors I faced are passed down to our future. I have heard numerous stories, even seen for myself, the accidents that can happen, including small fender benders too. As a student and a young adult, a brother of a younger sibling and a friend to numerous underclassmen, Measure F means that safety will be given to those who need it most, the children. I have been involved with the Yes on F campaign for a month now, and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I have met many more great people, people I would look up to. These people have gone far past the campaign. For those of us Heritage High School students, both current and past, who are working with these people, they have put life lessons into this election. They want us to work, not because we are getting paid, but because we believe in the cause. They want us to give the people of Brentwood not some speech of why they should vote “Yes,” but instead, the facts of what Measure F will do for their community and give the people of Brentwood the choice to make their vote. Do we encourage a yes vote? Absolutely. However, if we are told that someone is against it, that is their decision and their right as an American citizen. I wholeheartedly believe in Measure F. It is the morally right thing to do for our

community. I have lived in Brentwood for only about five years now, but I came from Antioch, and should Brentwood not get that land, and should Antioch take it down the road, it would be a travesty that will shake the very foundation of Brentwood. That is what I believe the F is for: Yes on Foundation, Yes on Family, and Yes on future. Please, vote Yes on Measure F. Brian Kiar Brentwood

Don’t rewrite General Plan Editor: I have lived in Brentwood for seven years and I am voting No on Measure F on June 8. I’ve read the letters supporting Measure F, hoping to learn some compelling reason Measure F is needed now. Some people seem to feel that if a person hasn’t lived in Brentwood their entire lives, the new people shouldn’t get a vote in land-use measures. Some letter writers call us naïve because we think the General Plan should be followed and not rewritten to benefit a few landowners. Then we are called liars because we cite state law that makes a city contractually obligated when a measure is passed with an embedded development, just like Measure F. What I’ve learned is that Measure F forces resort to name-calling and attacks when they can’t defend their end run around the General Plan. Measure F will bring up to 1,300 more

homes. It will bring 4,000-plus people, roughly 3,000 more cars on Balfour and roughly 1,350 more students to already overburdened schools, all with no sure way to pay for it all. As Tom Koch said at a recent City Council meeting, “We don’t have a big bag of cash to give you.” The only guarantee is that a No vote on Measure F keeps the western hills as open space agriculture until such time as the General Plan is implemented. Gretchen Klaus Brentwood

Measure F not the answer Editor: Measure F is yet another scam. Developers are preying on the residents of Brentwood, promising fixes and additional roads to resolve the traffic issue at Balfour and American Avenue. Yes, there is a traffic problem at this location, but Measure F is not the answer. And it certainly isn’t the end all be all. Think about it: do we really need 1,300 more homes sacrificing our own property values? Let’s face it: property values continue to hemorrhage, with no end in sight. Brentwood does not need more housing. Drive through Deer Ridge or Shadow Lakes or any other development. Empty homes abound! How will additional roads and the addition of 4,000 residents resolve the traffic issue? It won’t. What the developers propose is not enough. It will only add to the current problem. Do we really need more retail space – 35 acres, to be exact?

21A

Take a look around. Brentwood can’t even fill the space they currently have available. Far too many businesses come and go in a matter of months. Don’t be fooled, Brentwood residents. Measure F is not the answer. Vote no on Measure F. Mary Richards Brentwood

We care about Brentwood’s future Editor: On May 11, I gave the city council an update from Yes on Measure F Campaign Headquarters. The following morning, I was referred to as a “staffer” on the Facebook see Letters page 22A

Letters from page 21A page of No on Measure F, followed by “lol” when referring to Lee Hancock’s public apology to city officials and staff members for the vicious attack on their characters and integrity by the opposition. My family moved to this area 51 years ago. I graduated from Liberty High School, live in Brentwood and have had a business here for over 20 years. My story is the same as many who have lived here for generations. We all have made huge contributions to this wonderful place we call home and care about its future. These names include Chris Becnel, Steve Barr, Ike Montañez, Dafne Swisher, Dr. Paul Krey, Lenny DelChiaro, Alta Ackerman, Brian Swisher, Annette

Beckstrand, Bob Brockman, Mike Davies, Emil Geddes, Ed Stack, David Bristow, Joe Weber, Patty Bristow, Erick Stonebarger, Dwight Meadows and Mary Piepho to name a few. Their dedication to their family, community, school systems and churches is part of their everyday life, and they stand firm on their convictions with honesty and dignity. During the past few weeks the same comment has come up repeatedly: “Stop all of this political name calling, quit this negative campaigning and just tell the truth!” I agree. However, I am sure that no resident of Brentwood would idly stand by while someone they cared about was ridiculed or slandered for publicity over an issue as sensitive as Measure F.

Working with the five landowners for the past five months has been an honor and a privilege. Their desire to put Brentwood in control of its own future with the legal promises to fix roads and secure our border comes to the voters at a time when the issue of safety for our kids and the community is a number-one priority. We have held several meetings and presentations to deliver facts about Measure F. Most of our time there has been spent explaining the opposition’s slanderous accusations about Brian Swisher and Annette Beckstrand’s reason for backing the measure. As they have both publicly stated, “We have no financial interest in the Measure F property. We simply endorse the project.”

Our contact with the public has shown overwhelming support of Measure F. I encourage residents to review the information sent in your mailbox and in our media coverage if you are still undecided. The choice – it’s your decision. I am honored and proud to be among the residents, business owners, students, farmers, educators, retirees and leaders of the community of Brentwood who have publicly added their name to the list of supporters of Yes on Measure F. And finally, when you research the word “humanitarian,” you will find the description of Lee Hancock. So, in this case, “lol” is lots of love. see Letters page 24A

Developers are greasing the wheels Editor: I was disappointed with the two-part series about Measure F. I spoke with the mayor personally about this measure. I was hoping to see a few of the points he shared with me. The extension of American Avenue is estimated at $26 million to complete. The actuality of this occurring while my children attend both Adams and Heritage is slim. Anyone who votes for this measure based on the completion of American Avenue is going to be disappointed. As citizens, we experience similar issues in state and federal ballot measures. It’s unfortunate that similar issues occur in our community playing on jobs and safety. The reality is: the developers are greasing the wheels to get this to pass. They used the same tactics when they came to my door for a signature. I asked, “Is a developer behind this?” No, “we want to protect our borders from the city of Antioch.” Much to my chagrin, I signed it based on my belief that people are truthful. What a way to start a ballot measure! Going door-to-door, lying to people for signatures. I question the substance and milquetoast two-part series you did. It was weak in sharing any negative information against Measure F because they are paying you for weekly full-page ads?

With 4,000 lots approved for building in our city, is this really necessary? Oh, I forgot: this is about jobs, safety, an eight-hour shift at the firehouse, and the completion of American Avenue, hopefully in 10 to 20 years. How exciting would it be to read this letter in next week’s paper? John Sims Brentwood

Letters from page 24A on vacations or weekend outings. We do it all year round. We all share a major aquatic weed problem. These weeds will continue to spread and destroy our lifestyle and property values. What is this weed? It is Egeria Densa and grows below the water and is very bushy, with bright green leaves. It is not a natural Delta plant. It spreads very easily. During the summer, Water Hyacinth also blooms and drifts into our bays. Both of these weeds form dense mats that obstruct navigation, plug water pumps, hinder recreational activities and disrupt the natural ecosystem of the Delta. The Department of Boating & Waterways (DBW) has sprayed for this plant since 1987, but only during specific times. Jeff Conway, Reclamations District 800 (Rec 800) district manager, states that DBW has the requisite permits to begin treating the weed problem, but like state agencies, limited funds. Aquatic weed abatement is not Rec 800’s responsibility. But he has offered manpower and funds to assist in this effort. Testing would be required to ensure that the right level of chemical is applied. The chemicals have been certified to be completely safe. He was having some success in convincing the previous DBW manager, but she was transferred. Now there is an “interim manager,” Terry – so the persuasion process starts over (telephone 916-263-8138). Something needs to be done. Until

DBW performs its job, we have the following choices: 1. If you want to enjoy the water area around your docks, you will have to pull/rake out the weeds yourself or have a contractor do it for you. Pieces that break off take root and start the whole growth system over again. 2. Homeowners and boaters of our community need to become a “squeaky wheel.” We need to “flood” the DBW with letters, petitions, e-mails and telephone calls requesting that this problem be given a high priority. I am asking the DB community to write, e-mail or call to: • Department of Boating Waterways, Public Information Office, 2000 Evergreen St., Suite 100, Sacramento, CA 95815. • E-mail pubinfo@dbw.ca.gov. • Telephone 888-326-2822.

COMMUNITY

Scout collects bears, blankets for kids by Samie Hartley Staff Writer

Greg Hoggan hopes to join an elite group that includes such members as Neil Armstrong, John Garamendi and John Tesh. The unlikely trio holds Eagle Scout rank, the highest rank in the Boy Scouts of America, and Greg, an eighth-grader at Black Diamond Middle School in Antioch, plans to attain the exclusive status by the end of the year. To become an Eagle Scout, applicants must complete a community service project. Greg, 14, has vowed to collect 500 teddy bears and 500 fleece blankets to benefit the Child Abuse Prevention Council. So far Greg has 22 blankets and a half-dozen bears, but he hopes to increase his collection by working a booth at the East County Emergency Preparedness Fair this Saturday, May 22. “My original idea for my Eagle Scout project was to build a bench for the center, but they had just put in new benches, so I asked if there was another way I could help, and they suggested a teddy bear and blanket drive,” Greg said. “I was excited because I wanted to do something that would help kids, and I look forward to meeting my goal. The fair will be the official kick-off of my collection effort.” Greg, a member of Troop 493, is collecting teddy bears around 12 to 15 inches tall, so beanie babies and toys from a happy meal aren’t going to cut it. Bears must be new and preferably gender-neutral. For the blankets, he’s collecting yards of fleece fabric. Each

Closures from page 1A responsible for us to go out and ask for money until we can prove we can manage our own budget.” That means cuts are needed to keep the already bare-bones district solvent. Six of the district’s stations are currently staffed by two firefighters, and two are staffed by three. (The industry standard is three per station). Stonebarger said station closures could be accompanied by a personnel shift that would improve coverage at remaining stations. The 48 positions the final budget will include could provide three-person coverage at the four urban stations (Stations 52 and 54 in Brentwood, Station 93 in Oakley and Station 59 in Discovery Bay) and two-person coverage at two stations (Station 94 in Knightsen and either Station 57 in Byron, Station 58 in Discovery Bay or Station 95 on Bethel Island). Because four firefighters are required to be on the scene before entry is made into a structure fire, a battalion chief and one engine could begin an attack that now must often wait until the arrival of a second engine. Alternatives to permanent station closures could include closing stations one day per week in rotation, an option Stonebarger said doesn’t make sense given the significantly different roles each station currently plays (Station 93, for example, responded to more than 1,800 calls last year, while station 57 answered fewer than 300). Relying more on the POC staffing utilized in years past also doesn’t make sense

For his Eagle Scout project, Antioch resident Greg Hoggan plans to collect 500 teddy bears and 500 ﬂeece blankets for the Child Abuse Prevention Council. blanket is made of one yard, so he’s accepting donations of a yard or larger with a genderneutral pattern. “I was really drawn toward helping children because no one deserves to be abused – especially children, so your heart really goes out to them, so I’m glad my project will allow me to help in my own way,” Greg said. in today’s world, Stonebarger said. Even the least active station (57) receives nearly one call per day, and the busiest (93) more than five, volumes too high to effectively cover with volunteer, part-time crews. Also, relying on POCs, who must drive to the station to pick up an engine, would increase response times. A third option discussed during a series of public meetings in 2006 was to hire CalFire, the state’s primary wildland fire service, which has contracted with other cities. Stonebarger said that the loss of local control, firefighter turnover brought on by CalFire’s 72-hour shift schedule plus the loss of firefighters who live in and know the ECCFPD territory make that option undesirable. “I don’t think it’s on our current radar screen to look at CalFire,” he said. Discovery Bay CSD Treasurer Brian Dawson said that the possible closure of both Station 58 and Station 57 could have a huge impact on his community. “I’d like to see the (ECCFPD) board do everything humanly possible, up to and including a ballot measure, before they talk about closures,” he said. He hopes to see a strong public turnout at the June 7 meeting. The meeting will start at 6:30 p.m. in the Oakley City Council Chambers, 3231 Main St. To view the ECCFPD draft budget and a station-by-station breakdown of costs and call volume, visit www.thepress. net and type “ECCFPD documents” in the search bar.

“Eagle Scout projects are win-win situations. I will get my Eagle, and I know that kids in my community will have the comfort of a blanket or a teddy bear. That’s what Eagle is all about – doing something for the community, and I expect this to be a really gratifying experience.” While most Eagle Scout candidates don’t

Concert from page 1A events have been cancelled this year, leaving our community without family-oriented options,” said Dove during a presentation before the CSD board on April 28. “This is a town that lacks a geographic heart, and I think this could be it.” In April, Dove brought her original plan before the CSD, where support for the event was tempered with concerns over – among other things – the scope of the project, financial and legal responsibility and crowd control. She revisited the proposal at the May 5 regular meeting of the CSD, addressing the board’s questions and announcing that the events would be combined into one concert. Dove, who organizes the annual Parade of Lights and other local events, said her publication and the Boardwalk Grill would serve as the presenters of the event and would accept ultimate responsibility for the cost. She added that local spon-

start their projects until they’re close to finishing high school, Greg decided to get a jump on the process. Following the bear and blanket drive on Saturday, he plans to host a Pennies For Teddies drive at Antioch elementary schools to raise money to buy bears and blankets. He’ll also host an ice cream fundraiser at Baskin Robbins this summer to help meet his goal. He found Web sites where he can buy bears and blankets in bulk, but it’ll cost $3,500 for 500 bears and blankets, so Greg plans to host other fundraisers as needed. “You cannot start the project until you’re 14, and some scouts wait, but I’m up for the challenge. It’s not easy. I have heard that nine out of 10 scouts don’t make it to Eagle, but I want to beat those odds, and I’m confident I will.” To get his project going, Greg has also begun a letter-writing campaign requesting material or monetary donations from family friends, relatives and local businesses. Greg said those who can’t make it to the fair this weekend can donate bears, blankets or money by contacting his mother Karleen and arranging a pick-up date and time. The East County Emergency Preparedness Fair takes place Saturday, May 22, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 2350 Jeffery Way in Brentwood, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Greg’s booth will be stationed near the entrance. For more information about Greg and his project, e-mail karleenhoggan@gmail. com or call 925-754-7625. To comment, visit www.thepress.net. sors and supporters have come on board to help with expenses that could range between $4,000 and $8,000. The CSD and the P-6 citizen’s advisory committee (County-owned Slifer Park sits within the P-6 district’s boundaries) has since given their blessing to the concert, provided it meets the county’s guidelines and permit process. “I still think it’s a great idea and I’m still very happy about it,” said CSD Director Ray Tetreault. “Anything like this that brings the community together is good. I hope it all works out.” Although the issuance of permits for the concert is new territory for the county and Discovery Bay, which has never petitioned for such an event, Dove said the procedure so far has been fairly smooth: “It’s a new process for all of us, but at the same time there is a checklist, so we’re getting it all done. It’s all good. It’s a beautiful day in Discovery Bay.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Kiba, Tickner win diving championship by Dave Roberts Staff Writer The defending boys champion, Jake Tickner from Liberty, and a senior in her first year of competition, Kat Kiba from Heritage, won the Bay Valley Athletic League diving championship at Antioch High School on May 13. Tickner is a four-time BVAL champ and North Coast Section qualifier, having started diving as a freshman after many years of doing tricks on snow skis, according to Phil Tonne, the diving coach for Heritage and Liberty. Last year he made his first appearance at the NCS finals, where this year he finished 14th. He’ll be heading to Cal State Long Beach next year to study music. Kiba spent many years in gymnastics before injuring her leg. After a year-long rehab she decided to try diving for the first time and wound up beating girls with years of experience. It wasn’t close on the boys side of the competition. Tickner scored 345 points for his 11 dives, easily outdistancing secondplace finisher Kurtis Starnes of Antioch High, who put up 265. Starnes snagged second place by nailing the last dive of the day, outscoring by 17 points third-place finisher Matt Tonne of Heritage, who finished with 263 points overall. The competition was closer on the girls side. Kiba’s 296 points bested the 273 points scored by second-place finisher Rachel Cad-

wallader of Deer Valley. Kiba, whose diving is bolstered by her experience as a seasoned gymnast, nailed her last dive, earning the best score of the day for the girls: 40 points. Tickner recorded the highest score of the day on a single dive, earning 46 points on his fourth dive. While Tickner was able to repeat last year’s championship success, last year’s girl’s champion, Meagan Soraoka of Deer Valley, had a tougher time. She led after the first dive with 31 points, but a scratch on the fourth dive pretty much put her out of the running and she finished in sixth place. “The

competition has kind of improved since last year,” said Soraoka. “There’s more pressure, I guess.” Kiel Olff, who was the announcer for the BVAL meet and assists with diving at Deer Valley, said during a break in the action, “It’s going well. I think we have got more divers than last year, so the league is growing for sure.” The third-place finisher for the boys was Heritage’s Matt Tonne, son of Phil. Megan Leyen, from Liberty, also finished third. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

DV, Heritage make tracks by Michael Dixon Correspondent Saturday’s BVAL Track Championship at Deer Valley was dominated by Deer Valley and Heritage. The Wolverine girls nearly doubled the point total of their nearest competitor, Heritage. The Patriot boys notched 140 points to win the meet, while the Wolverine boys finished second with 108 points. Deer Valley produced the winning athlete in 11 of the 16 events. Chizoba Okodogbe and Erica Wilson each won three races. Okodogbe won the 200 meters with a time of 24.39 seconds, more than a second ahead of her nearest competitor, the 400 meters by more than three seconds, and anchored her winning 4x100-meter relay teammates Jamela Kemp, Darnella Jenkins and Audrena Harlan. Wilson won both the 100- and 300-meter hurdles, and Kemp finished as runner-up in both races. Wilson also ran the lead-off leg in the 4x400-meter relay, which she won along with Najae Jones, Jamira Cox and Jenkins. Kemp was also a runner-up to Khyia Slone of Heritage in the triple jump. In addition to running on both victorious relay teams, Jenkins won the long jump and finished second to Okodogbe in the 200. The closest race of the day was the girls 100 meters, which was won by Harlan. A mere three-hundredths of a second separated her and the third-place finisher. The winners of the other girls events were: 800 meters – Jones (DV); 1,600 meters – Marcie Torres (Pittsburg); 3,200 meters –

Kendall Kawalkowski (Freedom); high jump – Cox (DV); pole vault – Michelle Fancey (Liberty); shot put – Chantel Taito (DV); and discus – Tatjana Pitts (Antioch). The Heritage boys took a different route to success than the Deer Valley girls, placing the winning athlete in only four of the 16 events and finishing third in both of the relays. But they had greater breadth, finishing high in most of the events. The Patriot boys’ best event was the 800 meters, where they finished in the top three. Jacob Bradley won with a time of 2:01.86. Brandon Brum and Eric Morford were right behind with scores of 2:02.46 and 2:02.34. In the 400-meter race, Joseph Luiz and Steven McIntosh of Heritage sandwiched Sebastine Kollie of Deer Valley in the top three. The Freedom quartet of Timazray Shepherd, Darrell Daniels, Josh Garcia and Kenneth Walker won the 4x100 relay. Deer Valley’s Nick Lewis, Thomas Taylor, Kollie and Joey Johnson comprised the winning 4x400 relay team. Freedom’s Walker won the 110- and 300meter hurdles. Antioch’s Evan Grimes also starred in the meet, winning both the long jump and the triple jump. The other boys event winners were: 100 meter – Shepherd (Freedom); 200 meter – Shamawn Wright (Antioch); 1,600 meter – Jesus Morales (Liberty); 3,200 meter – Paul Matejcek (DV); high jump – Billy Eng (Heritage); pole vault – Michael DiGiorgio (Liberty); shot put – Willie Ward (Pittsburg); and discus – Alex Horncliff (Heritage).

There must be something in the water at Deer Valley High that causes tee shots to land in the middle of the fairway, chips shots to cozy within 10 feet of the cup and putts to find their way to the hole. Last fall the girls golf team once again took the Bay Valley Athletic League title, and has not lost a league match in the last three years (48 wins in a row). The Lady Wolverines finished sixth on a tough course in Arcata in the North Coast Section playoffs. This spring the boys team continued its success, going undefeated in league action, repeating as league champs (they went 14-1 in league last season). â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year my team is quite a bit better,â&#x20AC;? said Coach Brian Kofford. The varsity team consists of two juniors in their third year of varsity competition, Andrew Sirowy and John Bell, along with four sophomores, three of them in their second year of varsity competition: Jaskaran Sihota, Isaiah Antoine and Adam Sunga. New to the team this season is Robert Riel, who also plays on Deer Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s JV baseball team. One freshman, Dash Wada, also played several varsity matches this year. The team averaged just over 200 shots per nine-hole match. Sirowy was named the league MVP and averaged just 39.6 shots per nine. Sihota (38.8 average) and Bell (39.9) were selected to the all-league first team.

Earning a spot on the second team were Sunga (42.8 average) and Antoine (43.4). Putting some icing on the victory cake, Riel (39.5 average) was the individual winner of the April 26 BVAL Tournament at Delta View Golf Course, shooting a 76 despite a double bogey on the last hole. His 72 at the Spring Tournament at Monarch Bay on March 29 vaulted him into a tie for first. The test of a great team is how it stacks up against the best. And the Wolverines boy golfers have stacked up well, finishing in the top 10 in all their tournaments against top competition, including that tie for first at the Spring Tournament. They played on Monday in the NCS Tournament of Champions at Baywood Country Club in Arcata. In 2002 they finished in fourth place on the same course in the same tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to predict how this group will do,â&#x20AC;? said Kofford last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are young, but having four players that average less than 40 is rare, and they

are extremely competitive. We could surprise some of the perennial golf powers if my guys play to their potential.â&#x20AC;? Unfortunately, two top players have been nursing injuries. Sirowy injured his back in a recent tournament in Southern California and Riel sprained his ankle in a baseball game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both of them have been playing really well lately, as has Jaskaran, John and Adam,â&#x20AC;? said the coach. Sunga finished second in the BVAL tournament with his lowest 18-hole round of 78. Jaskaran has 10 rounds in the 30s and Bell shot even par in the last league match. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Isaiah is an excellent ball striker, and if he putts well he should score at Baywood,â&#x20AC;? Kofford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a very talented group, whose hard work will be rewarded â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hopefully, this year at Baywood, if everyone is healthy. If not, next year Deer Valley High School golf will be an extremely competitive team and a force to be reckoned with.â&#x20AC;? To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

DV avenges losses by Michael Dixon Correspondent Last week’s game between the Heritage and Deer Valley baseball squads was this season’s third meeting of the Bay Valley Athletic League’s best teams. The first two games went to Heritage, which essentially wrapped up the league title for the Patriots. But the Wolverines struck back in the third game, winning 14-0, providing them with momentum for the final games of the regular season and the playoffs. Deer Valley ace Joshua Eagle got a measure of revenge on Heritage, which had handed Eagle his only loss of the season in their first meeting. Last week Eagle pitched a complete game while allowing only five hits and striking out 12. Deer Valley Manager Dennis Luquet compared Eagle to one of the best pitchers who has come through his program, Daniel Denham. “Denham was just dominant – 96 miles per hour,” said Luquet. “Eagle is proba-

bly the best in terms of consistency; he’s ahead of every batter. I think he was down 3-0 only one time. He just throws strikes; he makes you have to hit the ball, and he’s not going to walk you. He set the school record today: 11 wins on the season.” The Wolverines got on the board early, scoring three runs in the first inning and two in the second. They squelched whatever comeback hopes the Patriots entertained when they scored eight runs in the fifth. Heritage committed nine errors and was shut out for the first time this season in its first league loss and fourth loss overall. The Patriots’ only offense was a pair of hits by Jeff Casperson, Kevin Harrity, Paul Blackburn, Jordan Heald-Mullins and Ryan Howell – but Heritage left eight runners on base. The win buoyed Deer Valley’s hopes for success in the playoffs. “Each week we’ve see DV page 7B

Dark horse victorious by Jack Menges Correspondent Two of the top drivers to ever race dirt modifieds at the Antioch Speedway lined up in the front row last weekend, making the main event appear a shoo-in for either Kellen Chadwick or Kenny Neu. But appearances turned out to be deceiving, as neither driver finished in front at the end of 25 laps. Chadwick had his racer purring along in front when at the 20-lap mark it broke a drive shaft. But the victory didn’t go to Neu, who was forced to be content with a runner-up finish in a race interrupted by caution flags. The victory went to Troy Foulgers, who had to come from ninth starting position in the field of 18 modifieds. The cautions were a result of a $1,000 prize going to the winner of the main event. The extra money lured a total of 24 dirt modi-

We had 20 against Pitt, 15 against Antioch and 23 against Liberty. And we just said, ‘Hey, they’re not throwing their best pitcher; they’re throwing their sophomore shortstop. So we just need to try not to ump the game, be aggressive and swing the bat, and play hard.” But the skipper knows his team could

Finishing the main event behind Foulgers and Neu were Nick DeCarlo, Jeremy Petrell, who transferred from a third place finish in the B main, and Tom Hermosillo. The wingless sprints return to action Saturday night and will be joined by the super stocks, dwarf cars and mini trucks. There will be no racing the following two weekends, May 29 and June 5. Dirt Modifieds: Heat Winners – Jeff Thomas, Norman Beck, Andy Angelo and Chester Kniss; B Main – Joe Carr, John Esskew and Jeremy Petrell; Main Event – Troy Foulgers, Kenny Neu and Nick Decarlo.

get even better. “Defensively we need a lot of work; we just keep making errors and that kills us,” said Luquet. “When Eagle pitches, we’re OK because we don’t need to catch too many balls. If 14 of our outs are strikeouts, then we only need to catch seven balls.” Heritage finished its regular season this week with a game at Antioch and a home game against Liberty. Deer Valley finished with a non-league game against Berkeley before traveling to Freedom and then hosting Pittsburg in the regular season finale. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Popular parenting myths

*( 7 ,211) ,'(17 7 & *( 7 &

Although parents turn to their pediatrician for expert advice and accurate information about their child’s health and development, findings from a new study suggest that thousands of pediatricians erroneously subscribe to various popular parenting myths. Dr. Andrew Adesman mailed a Pediatric Health Beliefs Questionnaire to 5,000 general pediatricians in the United States, and presented their findings. The majority of pediatricians (76 percent) mistakenly endorsed one or more of the following parenting myths, and 13 percent got three or more wrong:

• A burn can be treated with application of ice. Risk: ice can also cause injury to the skin. • It is safe to put a baby down to sleep on his side. Risk: crib death. • Children can be given an ice bath to treat a fever. Risk: hypothermia. • Children over age 6 can be given aspirin for a fever. Risk: Reye’s syndrome. • Place a soft object in a child’s mouth child during a seizure. Risk: dental injury to the child; hand injury to the adult. • Babies younger than 6 months can be given honey. Risk: botulism poisoning.

The seasonal curse of asthma and allergies by Andrea Stuart April showers bring May flowers. And with those come stuffy noses, itchy and watery eyes, and sometimes even a cough. So what should you do if you suffer from the uncomfortable symptoms of seasonal allergies or asthma? And how can you tell the difference? Asthma and allergies are results of an autoimmune response to certain causes or triggers. To put it simply, those who suffer from allergies or asthma have immune systems that overreact. When exposed to a trigger (allergen), the body overcompensates and doesn’t know to turn off. The result is allergy symptoms, including asthma. “Allergies are mild to moderate reactions to triggers that affect the upper respiratory tract, including the eyes, nose, mouth and throat,” said Dr. Richard Singer, a pediatrician affiliated with Sutter Delta Medical Center. “A person may experience eye irritations, a runny nose, itchy throat or even hives. If the allergies are severe enough, they can trigger an asthma attack.” Asthma occurs when the airways of the lungs become inflamed and produce mucus. The result is wheezing, shortness of breath, tightness in the chest and even coughing. Stress, exercise, illness and allergies can trigger an asthma attack. Asthma caused by the allergies is known as allergy-induced asthma. Though one can develop allergies or allergy-induced asthma at any age, the earlier the onset and the longer treatment is post-

THEPRESS.NET

poned, the more likely the condition will become serious. When left untreated, asthma can cause lung scarring. That is why it’s especially important for children who exhibit allergy or asthma symptoms to see a doctor as soon as possible. According to Singer, there are several ways to treat the various stages of allergies and asthma. “There are medications that can slow or stop their progression. An itchy nose and irritated eyes may benefit from an antihistamine. Inflammation in the lungs may require a medication to be reduced, and more severe symptoms may require steroids.” For some people, allergy shots (immunotherapy) can be an effective tool for minimizing allergy reactions, including asthma. Allergy shots train a person’s immune system to become less sensitive to triggers by exposing the body to the allergens that cause the reactions. In time the body builds up tolerance to the triggers and doesn’t react as severely. Allergies and asthma are treatable conditions. There is a treatment option for most everyone, no matter how mild or severe the symptoms. Seeking early treatment not only eliminates needless suffering in the short run, but it reduces the chances of a more serious situation occurring in the future. “Be proactive instead of reactive,” said Singer. “The goal is to come in before you or your child is so sick you need to visit the emergency room.” – Andrea Stuart is a medical writer affiliated with Sutter Delta Medical Center.

Heritage from page 1B Allison in the 200-yard individual medley and 100-yard breaststroke. Some of the outstanding swims for Heritage included Cameron Koller, a senior who won the 100-yard butterfly in 55.3 seconds, beating his best time by four seconds. Applegate, a sophomore, swam the 100-yard butterfly in 56.65 seconds, her personal best and a school record. Love, a freshman, broke the school record in the 50-yard freestyle with 24.53 seconds. “They are swimming really well overall,” said Carson. “We are pretty well dominating boys, girls, JV and varsity today. We have a lot of kids in the meet, and most of them are making finals.” Both the boys and girls teams on varsity and JV went undefeated this season, which might be looked back on as the start of a swimming dynasty for the Patriots.

Freedom from page 1B to contribute because individually we are not as strong. We don’t have one kid we can just say, ‘Hey, we’re going to get on her shoulders and let us ride you.’ This year everybody’s got to do their part. And so far they have been doing a pretty good job of it.” Last week Jonas didn’t want to count his victories before they’re hatched, but he was definitely optimistic about the postseason. “We are looking forward to it, and let’s see how we do,” he said. “I don’t

“We have a ton of unbelievable freshman and sophomores that have come into this school in the last few years,” said Carson. “Most of our team is quite young. I hate to think what’s going to happen in a couple of years when they get older if they continue to improve like they are. They are really kind of becoming the dominant team out here in East County. That’s exciting for me. “And it feeds on itself; when they see other kids improving they want to be a part of it. We started the season with over 100 swimmers and divers. So when you start the season like that you have a lot more kids to work with and there’s more opportunities for kids to rise to the top. We have some JV swimmers that last year would have been swimming varsity for us. But they are improving and coming up, and they are going to fill right in behind those seniors that are

think a lot of people gave us a lot of shot to be ranked where we are right now and maybe even win the league. Now we have put ourselves in the driver’s seat to have an opportunity to do that. So I’m real proud of the kids to do that. Hopefully, we continue and get a couple wins next week and hang another banner up. But right now we’ve just got to worry about doing the little things right. That big stuff, that big idea stuff is past us right now. We can’t worry about that, nor should we.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.
