Antioch prepares to honor veterans Memorial Day, formerly known as Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in the service of their country. On Monday, May 31, at Oak View Memorial Park in Antioch, veterans will be honored with speeches, music and more during a Memorial Day celebration from 9 a.m. to noon. The free, public event will feature honor guard music, military displays and memorabilia, a motorcycle procession through the streets of downtown Antioch led by the Antioch Memorial Thunder, a VFW gun salute and a dove release. Bagpipes, educational booths and a demonstration by local Boy Scouts on properly retiring an American flag will also be a part of the program. The motorcycle procession begins at 9:30 a.m. and proceeds from

Antioch City Hall to the cemetery at 2500 E. 18th Street. The annual event, begun 12 years ago by Antioch Mayor Jim Davis, is an opportunity for the community to honor, celebrate and thank veterans – past and present – for their service. “We decided a long time ago that each year we would commemorate and celebrate our veterans here in Antioch, and each year it has grown and expanded,” said Davis. “When you think of your freedoms, you think of a veteran. Everything that we have that we take for granted, you can thank a veteran for, not a politician, and for that, we will carry on their names.” For more information, call 925-757-2020 or 925-754-3714, or visit www.antiochthunder.org.

Save the last dance for the valley girl Spring in East County is a time-release event. Like a well-formulated antihistamine, it unleashes its active ingredients gradually to prolong the effect. In the case of spring, those active ingredients are water and wildflowers. When buttercups begin to fade from the scene, TAKE IT poppies pick up the UTSIDE slack. And when the streams start going dry, along comes an infusion of rain, especially in this El Niño spring of 2010. Round Valley Regional Preserve, located on Marsh GER Creek Road between ERICKSON the Highway 4 Bypass and Deer Valley Road, is East County’s late bloomer. Compared to the statuesque and glamorous chicks in her gang – Los Vaqueros, Black Diamond Mines, Morgan Territory and Mt. Diablo – Round Valley is petite and a little plain. Then May rolls around. The scrawny schoolgirl starts turning heads. When at the prom the glamour gals are dead on their feet, the wallflower flowers. The guys who’ve been snubbing her strut up and ask for a whirl on the dance floor. She says, “Take a hike.” So we will. We grab a map at the trailhead and head west on the Miwok Trail, where valley and blue oaks shade our way.

The 1,220-foot summit of Round Valley Regional Preserve provides a superb view of the twin peaks of Mt. Diablo. Soon Round Valley Creek, one of Marsh Creek’s tributaries, begins serenading us with cooling music, hugging the trail here, passing under it there. The music never stops ... until we get to a left fork labeled Hardy Canyon Trail. For some, it will be the Hardy Canyon Trial.

Though no Olympian ascent, the western leg of Hardy Canyon Trail is obstinately upward. Add the trail’s southern exposure to the equation and we have a recipe for perspiration. The sight of wildflowers cheers us up. From a safe distance we admire the violet spikes of Italian thistle. We find bellardia,

its white petals tinged in rose, plus magenta-hued clarkia, the wildflower poignantly nicknamed “farewell to spring.” The trail swings south and east up the hillside’s graceful curves. On the second southward stretch we look right. There, between a gap in the rounded green hilltops across the valley rises another top washed in the blue haze of distance – Mt. Diablo. The higher up Hardy Canyon Trail we go, the higher the mountain in the west towers above its foothills. The trail finally crests and we cut south across a grassy space up to the edge of a ridge where rows of protruding rocks provide a place to cool our heels. We’ve climbed from 220 to 1,140 feet above sea level. From here we understand how the park got its name. Far below glows a valley dappled in gold and green, encircled by the hills of Los Vaqueros, Morgan Territory and our own Round Valley. We descend back to the main trail and look northeast, where a hill rising to 1,220’ marks the Round Valley summit. Those with a penchant for panorama – and a willingness to slog through the high and dry grasses – will find the extra elevation worth the sweat equity. From the top, gazing south we spot the hills of Ohlone Wilderness beyond Livermore. Our view west is dominated by the dramatic crags of Mt. Diablo. Northward lie the San Joasee Outside page 7A

UPDATE ON CA TAX CREDIT A while ago I told you about the new California homebuyer tax credit. It is 5% of the purchase price, up to $10,000, and can be for a new home or a resale home. The credit went into effect May 1, 2010. For new homes, you must have entered into contract on or after May 1, 2010. For resale homes, it appears there is a bit of a loophole where you just have to close escrow on or after May 1, 2010. This means it’s possible that you could qualify for the credit even if you were in contract before May 1, 2010. This is creating a bit of a bottleneck at the Franchise Tax Board because there are so many buyers who are trying to apply for the credit this month. Many buyers who were scheduled to close at the end of April tried to delay their closing until May to take advantage of the credit. The fax number is jammed for hours at a time. The Franchise Tax Board website says to just keep trying, but don’t fax it more than once, and keep your confirmation page once it goes through. Their fax number is 916.855.5577. Don’t forget that you have to send the application AND a copy of your closing statement from the title company.

The Franchise Tax Board website has a running total of how many applications they’ve received so far, and as of last week they have almost 8,000 applications for the resale credit. At this rate, they will probably run out of funds for this credit within the next few weeks. They also make it clear that faxing in an application does NOT guarantee that you will receive the credit. They also warn that it will take 3-6 months for them to respond to your application as they have to build a new computer system to handle all these applications (I’m not kidding, that’s a quote from their website.) They also want to remind people NOT to send in their application until they have closed escrow on their resale home. Only the new home buyers can fax in an application early in order to try to reserve a credit.

Outside from page 6A quin River, the Solano hills and, on a clear day, Mt. St. Helena anchoring the far end of Napa Valley. And snaking across the entire eastern horizon we behold the granite battlements of the Sierra Nevada range, its peaks heavy with snow. We leave the overlook and reconnect with Hardy Canyon Trail. The finale of our walk is downhill all the way, starting with a short descent through grassland to an arroyo; then down into the trees and the enchanting realm of Hardy Canyon, where late spring’s assault on our senses resumes in earnest. As we follow the trail’s dips and turns, clusters of buckeye blossoms, perfectly nose-level, invite us to drink in their fragrance. Below to our left

spills High Creek, while above to our right the canyon’s eastern slope is saturated with the piercing purples of bell-shaped Ithuriel’s spear and ookow rising on tall, thin stems. As the trail converges on the creek we see patches of monkeyflower brush the silver waters with bright yellow. The home stretch of our loop takes us past Marsh Creek, its volume already on the wane. As the delicate petals of Hardy Canyon are destined to wither in the heat of June, so will Marsh Creek slow and shrink to a trickle. We’ve come to the beginning of the end of spring in Round Valley. But right now our wallflower is in bloom. Save the last dance for her. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Like the grainy track surface, Antioch High School’s long-jump area could use some TLC – the jump point is currently marked with strips of duct tape. With the help of a Pepsi Refresh Project $250,000 grant, the high school would be able to begin renovations as soon as the fall. Photo by Samie Hartley

Making a run for the Pepsi money by Samie Hartley Staff Writer

If you’re tired of the election ads badgering you to vote “yep” on this and “nope” on that, don’t spurn Antioch High School’s appeal. The school is asking for your vote – but you can do it from the comfort of your home or even from your phone. Beginning June 1, Antioch High will be in contention for a $250,000 grant from PepsiCo, Inc. as part of Pepsi’s Refresh Project. Every month, Pepsi selects a thousand community projects, puts each cause on its Web site and asks the public to vote for its favorites.

At the end of the month, the votes are tabulated and the winners of more than $1 million in grants are announced. For its shot at a quarter million, Antioch High is seeking a grant to improve its track, which isn’t up to California Interscholastic Federation regulations. While most high schools boast new rubbery surfaces that make competition safer, Antioch’s track is made of red cinder block, which creates an uneven dirt surface making competition more challenging – in a bad way. However, aside from safety concerns, see Pepsi page 9A

Pepsi from page 8A since the track isn’t up to code, the high school is not qualified to host official North Coast Section meets. Since the track isn’t up to CIF code, any records set on it don’t go into the official record books. “Our track was built in 1954,” said Antioch Principal Louie Rocha. “The track is measured in yards. All regulation tracks are measured in meters, so our track is outdated. It is a glaring issue because we want to provide our students, as well as students from visiting schools, with equitable amenities. “With the way the school budget is, after so many cuts, we don’t have funds to renovate the old facility, so we need to get creative. We want to offer the best quality facility because it’s not just students that use the track. I see members of the community who run on the track on the weekends, and the youth soccer teams meet on our field as well, so we are seeking the community’s help so that we can get the funding. Pepsi has given us the opportunity to pull together funding needed to make these changes happen, so we hope that all of Antioch, and the surrounding communities, will help us make this project a reality.” Through the effort of the Antioch High School Athletic Boosters, a nonprofit organization that raises money for the school’s sports teams, Antioch became involved in the Pepsi project in March. Athletic Boosters board member Joy Motts filled out the application and made the April 1 deadline to get Antioch listed in May, but a glitch occurred in the Pepsi Web site and Antioch High’s voting page was not posted by May 1. In order to give the school the full advantage of a month of voting, Pepsi moved Antioch’s effort to June. “Maybe I’m dreaming, but I think that if the community comes together to support Antioch High School, we’ll win the grant,” said Motts. “Pepsi is trying to help out in this tough economic climate, so it is something to be commended. They are helping fund valuable projects that communities need, and we feel very lucky to be a part of this, since this is a prize that people all around the nation are going for.” Motts said the entire renovation of the track will cost about a half-million dollars to complete, but she’s received support from local dignitaries such as County Supervisor Federal Glover, State Sen. Mark DeSaulnier and the Antioch City Council, who have offered to help raise the additional funds if the school receives the Pepsi grant. “The school is 55 years old, so it could use a facelift,” Motts said. “We need a new pool; we need new bleachers for the football stadium. We need a new floor in the gym, but we decided to seek money for the track improvements because the track is something that is used not only by Antioch students, but the entire community. People use the track for exercising, and we want everyone to be safe.” Athletic Director Will Whitney said over the years, some members of the Antioch track team have suffered from shin splints as a result of running on the uneven track surface. The injury, which involves inflammation of the tendons in the lower leg, can be so painful that some athletes must sit out several meets while they recover. Another problem with the track is that its dirt surface is rendered useless after a rainstorm. Whitney said the school was forced to reschedule a meet against Liberty earlier this year due to a muddy track. But a

weather-resistant surface crowned for proper drainage would make the track useable even when wet. “Most schools in the state have switched to the newer, safer track surface,” said Whitney. “All the schools in East County have it, so it would be wonderful to get this grant. The last time the track was renovated was in the early ’70s. It’s time for a makeover.” To vote for Antioch High School’s track renovation grant, log on to www.refresheverything.com and find the Antioch voting page. You may vote once a day for the entire month of June. Voting is free and open to all. For more information, e-mail Motts at joymotts@antioch.k12.ca.us or visit www. refresheverything.com.

Grad Night shoots for the stars The Liberty High School campus will be transformed into sets from motion pictures such as “Avatar,” “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Iron Man” when the 21st annual Grad Night event – Shooting for the Stars – takes place Friday, June 4 at 10 p.m. through Saturday, June 5 at 5 a.m. Grad Night has become a way for the community to share in the common goal of providing a safe and sober celebration alternative for graduating seniors, who will enjoy food and drinks throughout the night, most of which come from donations by local restaurants. Activities include casino games, sumo wrestling, DJ dancing, lip-syncing, henna tattoos, and motorized ice chest racing. Graduates may participate in a raffle for prizes such as laptop computers, GPS systems, iPods and gift cards. The festivities conclude with a pancake breakfast compliments of the Brentwood Rotary Club. The cost of the event is funded by donations made by the community – especially by means of the eScript program, which allows residents to earmark a portion of purchases at local businesses for school usage. The Grad Night committee, comprising volunteer parents and community members, needs volunteers to assist with Grad Night preparations and chaperoning, plus monetary donations such as gift cards.

Stimulus money awarded to local projects The Department of the Interior has announced more than $2 million in funding from the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) for a pair of local projects. First, a $12.7 million contract was awarded through the department’s Bureau of Reclamation for the third and final phase of the Contra Costa Canal Fish Screen at Rock Slough. The work was awarded to Flat Iron West, Inc. of Benicia. “Reclamation’s ARRA projects are meeting future water supply needs, improving infrastructure reliability and safety, and safeguarding our environment while creating jobs

in the West,” stated Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar. “The fish screen will be constructed to keep fish from entering the Contra Costa Canal intake. This will minimize entrainment losses of fish, and fulfill Central Valley Project Improvement Act requirements as well as other legal requirements.” The canal is part of the Central Valley Project’s Delta Division. Water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta is diverted at Rock Slough and conveyed to the head of the canal. One of the primary goals of the project is the protection of the Delta smelt and the endangered winterrun chinook salmon. Addressing environmen-

“ Reclamation’s ARRA projects are meeting future water supply needs, improving infrastructure reliability and safety, and safeguarding our environment while creating jobs in the West.

”

Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar tal issues associated with the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta represents an important piece of the overall restoration program. The Bureau of Reclamation also awarded a $780,859 ARRA contract to the Delta Diablo Sanitation District (DDSD) of Antioch for the Antioch Recycled Water Project in Contra Costa County. The project met federal guidelines for financial assistance through the Title XVI Program. The DDSD and the City of Antioch will expand the water reuse system for landscape irrigation at municipal parks, medians and other green spaces along the pipeline alignment. New facilities will include approximately 6 miles of underground pipeline, a 1.1million-gallon storage tank, and a distribution

pump station. The completed project is anticipated to provide 487 acre feet of recycled water per year. The area is heavily dependent on Delta and groundwater supplies. Use of recycled water will reduce dependence on Delta supplies, reduce wastewater discharges to the Delta and improve long-term water reliability during drought years. “This project demonstrates another fine use of Reclamation’s ARRA money and highlights cooperation among agencies,” said Commissioner Mike Connor. “The project is part of the Bay Area Recycled Water Coalition, a regional partnership of public agencies committed to developing recycled water as a resource for the San Francisco Bay Area.”

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage Matters By Trevor Frey

Bronco bootcamp

Memorial Weekend Another Memorial Day weekend is here - packed camp sites, busy waters, and BBQs galore! But before you head off to whatever friend or family function you’ll be attending, don’t forget that too much of anything is never a good thing! Too much water for example will cause flooding, which then causes damages, which in turn costs insurance companies money. The National Flood Insurance Program, being a huge “federal cost” that has already seen many lapses this year alone, is now set to expire on Memorial Day, May 31st, 2010. This is huge news for any of you would be buyers! No National Flood Insurance Program, no flood insurance. If you’re shopping homes, immediately check with your agent, your lender, or your potential insurance company – you know, your team of professionals who are there to work for you – as to whether or not any of the homes you are interested in are located within a flood zone. As is the case with any loan, in this case your home loan, the collateral for the bank’s loan has to be insured. And, according to Congressional leaders, all flood insurance applications “would not be able to move forward” after May 31st, 2010. For you as a buyer…if you are scheduled to purchase a home in the next couple of weeks, AND the lender is requiring flood insurance coverage, AND you have not already purchased your flood

policy then you won’t be closing on your home. Now remember, this information is from Monday May 25, 2010 (I have to write this column before press time each week). Over the week, before the grills get fired up and the parties get started, Congressional leaders plan to bring up legislation to extend a number of expiring tax breaks and federal programs, including the National Flood Insurance Program. Continue using that professional team of yours over the next few weeks to determine where this all falls out, and, most importantly, whether or not flood zone homes can be put back on your list of potentials.

Walmart grocery expansion approved by Dave Roberts Staff Writer

The Antioch Planning Commission has unanimously approved the expansion of Walmart to accommodate a grocery store, a decision that was greeted with applause by the many Walmart employees and their families who packed the City Council chambers last week. The commissioners noted that there was no basis on which to not approve the expansion, despite pleas from Walmart opponents. Many who spoke against the expansion are employees of Lucky Supermarket, who fear they will lose their union jobs paying $22 per hour if their store shuts down after its products are undercut by lower-priced offerings at Walmart, which is non-unionized and pays $12 per hour. “On the front end it seems to be a very attractive thing. Why not have a grocery store which actually sells its items at cheaper prices?” said George Van Hasselt, president of East County Democrats for Action and Antioch Citizens for Smart Growth. “I found that anything that the average Antioch person saves on the front end will pay heavily on the back end. It has been shown that for every new job Walmart creates, 1.4 jobs are lost in the community. Walmart expects to create 85 extra jobs in the Antioch store. Which means we will lose a total of 119. There is a danger that other stores, especially the Safeways and Raley’s, may have to close down, and this will cost an awful lot of other jobs. “An awful lot of groceries are not subject to sales tax. It is estimated that Antioch will incur a loss of $240,000 each year in tax revenues. The increase in crime – in 2006 when Walmart first proposed its expansion, they only had 0.5 calls a day for police – that has now gone up to 1.2 calls a day, which means extra expenses. It’s not hard to see why Walmart is cheaper. It does not have to pay hardly any health care

Everyone knows how crowded the intersection of Lone Tree and Hillcrest Avenue is at the moment. Do we want a substantial increase in traffic on top of that? We don’t need an extra discount store. Anybody interested in getting cheaper groceries can always go to Winco. Walmart is only thinking of Walmart.” Van Hasselt received applause from a couple dozen Walmart opponents. But about 80 percent of the audience and speakers consisted of Walmart supporters. Antioch resident Hans Ho argued that competition is inherent in free enterprise capitalism. “Despite recent government actions, we are still a capitalist society,” he said. “These are dire economic times. Our city might have to go bankrupt. Here we have one of the largest companies in the world with sustained profitability that wants to invest in our city, leading to higher corporate taxes and lower unemployment. “Despite our snobbery, many of us do enjoy the low prices at Walmart.

providing consumers with affordable prices sounds like a win-win situation for me. Strike a blow for free enterprise. Free us from the grasp of greedy organized labor.” Numerous Walmart employees told the commission that they love working for the company, particularly because it provides opportunities for advancement and flex time off to care for a sick family member. They also noted that the company has given generously to community events and organizations, including local schools, the Relay for Life and the annual free fishing day for youth. Several planning commissioners noted that the commission approved Walmart’s last

expansion request in 2005, which was overturned by the City Council in 2007, mostly due to concerns about traffic and crime from the proposed 24-hour operation. Walmart more than cut in half the expansion (33,000 square feet instead of 73,000 square feet) and eliminated the 24-hour operation in its latest proposal. Planning Commissioner Stanley Travers said that much of the discussion about the pros and cons of Walmart is irrelevant to the commission’s task of certifying whether the environmental impacts of the expansion are either non-significant or can be mitigated if they are significant. He noted that other stores similar to Walmart, such as Target and Costco, have recently expanded and there was no opposition. “I’m a retailer in Antioch,” said Travers. “I’ve been a business owner for many years. I’ve had businesses go under. That’s just how it is; you persevere. Our main focus is whether the EIR is still valid. I thought that the EIR was valid the last time. The Planning Commission voted the way it voted, and it went to the City Council and it was an election year. Hopefully, this time around people will vote their conscience and not something else. I don’t see any way that one could decide that the EIR is not valid.” The Planning Commission decision can be appealed to the City Council, which is a possibility given the strong opposition to the expansion.

Brentwood’s past is key to its future As the battle over Brentwood’s Measure F rises to its June 8 climax, the atmosphere in which voters will make an important decision about their city’s future has become increasingly poisoned. and DITORIAL Charges countercharges of lies and dirty politics fly back and forth between opponents with increasing fury, enveloping the available information in a smoky haze and leaving some voters uncertain of the facts, and the interpretation of those facts. Measure F would add 740 acres to the city’s southwest border, allow up to 1,300 homes, 35 acres of commercial development and 200 acres of parks and open space. It would provide money for additional roads, job creation, recreation and public safety as well, items touted by proponents as needed benefits but decried by opponents as inadequate. One thing both sides have stated is their love of Brentwood as it is, and indeed, the city is seen far and wide as a

desirable place to live. The high development standards, attractive neighborhoods and famous charm are supplemented by its solid financial footing and family-oriented focus. Measure F’s opponents say they want to keep things that way; those in favor say they want to make things better. It wasn’t luck, accident or magic that made Brentwood the city both sides love. It was the stewardship of its elected leaders over many years, representatives who contributed blood, sweat and tears – in addition to countless hours of unpaid public service – that made Brentwood the place everyone cares so much about today. And those leaders, whose terms date back more than three decades, overwhelmingly believe that Measure F is good for Brentwood. The list is long: There are six mayors with a total of 15 years of service at the city’s helm. There are 11 city council members combining 66 years of service on the list as well, and 56 years of service from a trio of supporters who have been elected to school boards. Total it up and

LETTERS Antioch no threat to Measure F area Editor: The Measure F developers are trying to scare Brentwood residents. Fact: Antioch can’t develop and doesn’t want the Measure F area. Anyone who says that Antioch is a serious threat to the Measure F area is not telling the truth. The developers could unveil some trumped-up letter this week from an Antioch politician threatening Brentwood (like they did recently from several of their cronies on LAFCO) and it still wouldn’t be true. The threat is just another of the developers’ lies designed to confuse the issues. Even if Antioch weren’t severely stretched financially, Antioch can’t develop and doesn’t want the Measure F area; it

you get 128 years of dedication to making and keeping Brentwood great. The love of Brentwood that went into all those years of decision making has not changed. These leaders have not suddenly changed their mind about what they want for their home town, abandoning long-held beliefs in favor of the promise of development fees. They are a part of Brentwood’s proud history, a history that should not be tossed aside. Another, more recent, part of history that has been forgotten in the argument is the fervor with which the community came together once the roadway debacle on American Avenue came to light. It was not Brentwood planning that caused the problem, it was the action of the county tightening the urban limit line and making proper access to the schools located there impossible. The entire city was in an uproar in 2008, igniting a series of meetings between city, county and school officials as well as residents and students. There was much hue and cry over the fact that the situation

TO THE

has no interest in the area at any level. By a signed Memorandum of Agreement (MOU) between the two cities, Brentwood controls the Measure F area. Both cities’ general plans incorporate that MOU and agree that Brentwood controls the Measure F area. The Measure F area is in Brentwood’s Planning Area, and within Brentwood’s Sphere of Influence, not in Antioch’s. Changes to any of these things would require significant public planning processes, environmental impact reports and years of time. The Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), the agency that controls planning boundaries, has made no action to remove the Measure F area from Brentwood’s Sphere of Influence, or to add it to Antioch’s sphere, let alone Antioch’s city limits. Three of the LAFCO commissioners and friends of the developers made empty threats about it, but they could only remove the area from Brentwood’s sphere and add it to Antioch’s, or to Antioch’s city limits with several more substantial, expensive public processes, if Antioch wanted it, which they don’t, if it were part of Antioch’s General Plan, which it isn’t, and lastly if it were inside Antioch’s Urban Limit Line, which it isn’t. That’s the kicker: Neither LAFCO friends of the developers, Antioch politicians nor Brentwood politicians can allow development of the Measure F area. Only the residents can – if developers convince them to change their existing voter-approved urban limit lines – which requires a public vote. That’s what the developers are trying to get the public to do with Measure F. Finally, it would be even more difficult and expensive to develop the Measure F

was critically dangerous, and that fixing it must be given the highest possible priority. After careful consideration of all the options, the conclusion was that the area now covered by Measure F must be annexed and developed to fix the problem. That history, especially the passion that rent the city at the time over concern for our children’s safety, must not be forgotten either. Unfortunately, in the atmosphere of contentious politics that now exists, a clear-cut answer as to whether Measure F is the right fix is elusive for many. In light of that fact, it’s good to look to the city’s leaders for guidance. Not just those currently in office, but those who brought the city to where it is today, and who firmly believe, in overwhelming numbers, that Measure F is good for Brentwood. Trust not only them, but the residents who came before us and who voted them into office. Go to the polls on June 8. Remember Brentwood’s proud history, take charge of its future, and vote Yes on Measure F. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

area through Antioch, and less profitable. Development is expensive. Paved roads, water lines, sewer lines, power lines, police services, fire stations, etc. would have to cross nearly two miles of open land between the Measure F area and the closest part of developed Antioch. Plus, the Measure F developers don’t want to be part of Antioch for the same reasons that they’re using it as a scare tactic: higher crime rates, etc. A Brentwood address is worth more to them, on the order of $50,000 to 100,000 per house, and providing services is cheaper. Bottom line: they’re using Antioch as a scare tactic. It doesn’t hold water. Don’t be fooled. On June 8, please vote No on Measure F. Seth Adams Save Mount Diablo

A teen’s view on Measure F Editor: I have been reading newspaper articles from guest columnists as well as letters to the editor. I am a former student of Adams Middle School and Heritage High School; I have experienced the major complications of getting to and from both schools. Relief from this congestion is very much in need. I enjoyed reading Patty Bristow’s May 21 letter in the Oakley Press, “An old-timer’s perspective in Measure F.” It’s refreshing to know that some of the developers are local residents of Brentwood and want to foster positive growth in the city they grew up in. We all have the same obligation to contribute to the city of Brentwood in a positive way; it doesn’t matter if you are a new-timer or an old-timer.

In another newspaper, Barbara Guise, the former mayor of Brentwood, made it clear that since the city extended oversized utilities for the future development in the west side of Brentwood, it would make sense to develop there and preserve our precious farmland to the east. Thank you, Ms. Guise, for noticing the dangerous road conditions around the schools that I have attended and my siblings still attend. If measure F passes, the new developments will alleviate the dangerous conditions for students going to Adams Middle School and Heritage High School. I am a witness of the narrow roads leading toward the schools. In closing, I would like to encourage voters to vote Yes on Measure F. The citizens of Brentwood need control over the area around Brentwood schools. Angelina Dieteman Brentwood

Measure F: why Antioch is not the issue Editor: The Yes on Measure F folks have led us all down the rabbit hole when it comes to the City of Antioch just waiting to initiate a land grab if Measure F fails on June 8. Here are at least six reasons why this scare tactic is false: • The area is under Brentwood’s Sphere of Influence (SOI) and not Antioch’s. • Antioch has no interest and no resources to petition LAFCO to change the current SOI. • There is a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the two cities that agrees to Brentwood’s SOI. see Letters page 17A

MAY 28, 2010

Letters from page 16A • In 2008, LAFCO conducted a mandated Municipal Service Review (MSR) that included Brentwood. The MSR is conducted every five years and will not be completed again until 2013. • The MSR analysis did not recommend any changes to this particular parcel and concluded that Brentwood’s General Plan for this area was consistent with land use designations. • LAFCO stated that Brentwood would continue to provide services within its boundary and Sphere of Influence. So why would Antioch want to go through the expensive process of changing the status quo? Antioch has no interest based on the MOU with Brentwood. Antioch would have to provide services to the area, which would be expensive. The process to change this area to Antioch’s SOI would take years of time through public planning processes and environmental impact studies. LAFCO has no intention of changing the SOI from Brentwood to Antioch. There are certainly other false claims and innuendo that have been mentioned in the constant media blitz by the developer-led Yes on F folks. This is just one. Don’t let the “Antioch Land Grab” fantasy fool you. Vote No on Measure F. George C. Hackett Brentwood

Not here, not now Editor: Two aspects of Measure F are still bothering me. Your “Measure F debate, part 2” of May 13 was helpful in clarifying some aspects of the measure. The PAC supporting Measure F is called “Fix Balfour Road and American Avenue,” which is clearly a misnomer. The actual “fixing” of those roads is looking unlikely. First, the developers assure us that it will be many years before homes are even built in that area. Even if Measure F is passed, we can expect the congestion and unsafe conditions for years to come, because roads won’t be built until construction starts. What concerns me the most, however, is that the roads are only fixed to the degree of accommodating the additional 3,000 cars that are expected in that area. The eventual “fixing” of the roads will only maintain what we are

THEPRESS.NET

currently used to. Measure F is also being marketed as a “protect property values” measure, which is hilarious. In an economy driven by supply and demand, adding to an existing surplus while expecting prices to maintain or even increase in ludicrous. Products are ridiculously cheap at Walmart because there is a constant surplus, thereby decreasing demand, forcing prices to be lower. More product is moved, but it is often at the expense of quality. I don’t see how adding 1,300 more homes to Brentwood will protect or secure any property value in our city; using widely accepted and embraced Walmart logic, we can only expect more empty homes and devalued homes as demand and assessed values citywide fall further. Measure F is being touted as a blanket measure that will fix a wide swath of issues. I feel that is it only pie-in-the-sky conjecture, promising huge rewards and paradise hopefully years down the road, an answer to all our problems maybe some day (developers’ consultant Tom Koch publicly assured us in early April that it will be many years before any construction or improvements actually happen due to the severely deflated housing market). Perhaps it is time, however, for our community to rethink how quickly we want to rush from rural to suburban to urban. The unbridled growth we’ve seen in our city in recent years has led to vacant and foreclosed homes, vacant commercial property in many of our shopping centers, and lost businesses. The proposed development in the Initiative Area simply makes no sense to me. Not here, not now. Spencer Holmes Brentwood

Now is not the time for ‘F’ Editor: Who stands to profit from Measure F? First and foremost, the consortium of landowners and developers who brought forth Measure F will profit. However, that is not what they are telling Brentwood voters in their expensive, glossy mailers and full-page ads. In their ads they never reveal that they will personally gain from the sale and development of the Balfour acreage. Instead, their ads propose a fearful future for Brentwood if we voters don’t pass their measure; where Brentwood will not be in control to decide issues of traffic safety and land use. In addition to the landowners and

10 0°

developers who will profit from Measure F, there are secondary entities in the chain or periphery of land sales and development who stand to profit, and I believe many of these individuals and businesses have endorsed Measure F. There are also past and present public servants who have endorsed Measure F to Brentwood voters. While I don’t wish to impugn their integrity, nor imply that they will profit from Measure F, I will just say that many of them never met a developer they didn’t like. I hope voters will see through Measure F and see who truly gains. I believe those who gain do so at Brentwood’s loss. I believe those landowners, developers, businesses, organizations and individuals who stand to profit, will do so on the backs of Brentwood residents and businesses who are coping with the worst recession of our times that is still unwinding. Now is not the time for the likes of Measure F. I am voting no! Carol McInerny Brentwood

What yes on ‘F’ means Editor: In the final analysis, the choice about Measure F is straightforward. Yes on “F” means Brentwood will be in control and keep Antioch and the county at bay. Yes on “F” might lead to local jobs and housing with the help that would bring to our economy. If homes are built, they won’t come for at least five years. Also, “F” helps our schools and police while building extra sports fields and providing paramedics. All of this without raising taxes. No on “F” means the same situation we’re in today. As far as I am concerned, that’s unacceptable. The opponents of Measure F offer us nothing but more of the same. Yes on “F” is my choice. Tarra Missem Brentwood

Brentwood codes are best Editor: I am not one who would usually write a letter to the editor concerning political issues. I was prompted to do so when the signs in my yard, and a friend’s yard, supporting Measure F were stolen. I cannot understand why opponents of Measure F feel that they are entitled to trespass onto my private property to try and stop me from expressing my opinion. I guess

17A

they believe that only their viewpoints are valid and merit discussion. I have been a resident of Brentwood for 15 years. Not exactly an old-timer but not a newcomer either. I have children at the middle school and high school and make a combined three to four trips up American Avenue each day. I have seen a lot of development in Brentwood since I have been here. Of course I haven’t agreed with every project and how it was handled, but I have seen how the Brentwood city staff, Planning Commission and City Council have ushered this community from small town to its current size. They have done so with great care while maintaining the small-town feel and adding the infrastructure and amenities that we all need and enjoy, including transportation, shopping and housing. I for one would certainly entrust them to care for the timely and orderly development of this property over the City of Antioch or the county, which created this mess in the first place. I wonder if people who live on Mountain View Drive and Spyglass Drive directly adjacent to the subject property would prefer the Brentwood Zoning Codes, Design Review Guidelines, Planning Commission and City Council to govern the development of the property or the Antioch Zoning Codes. Do they know that existing Brentwood codes include guidelines that require property developed adjacent to existing residences to be on lots of equal or greater size and of a design quality consistent with the existing residences? Antioch codes do not have these same guidelines as it pertains to development adjacent to Brentwood residents. Do they understand that every portion of this development will go through extensive review by the city, which will include public hearings at which they are entitled to be heard? How much weight do you think a Brentwood resident would have at an Antioch Planning Commission hearing versus a Brentwood Planning Commission hearing? When I look around at the development within Antioch adjacent to Brentwood, I see apartment complexes, strip malls and shopping centers. Antioch gets the benefit of tax revenues and Brentwood gets the traffic and noise. I think all rational people will agree it is not if this property will be developed; it is when, by whom, and with what jurisdiction in control. see Letters page 18A

Local businessman says Yes on F Editor: Imagine driving through Antioch to get to Heritage High School. Imagine sitting on your porch in Deer Ridge and Shadow Lakes and waving to your new neighbors – in Antioch. Without Measure F we won’t have any control over what is built, how it looks, how dense it is, or what type of housing or commercial use is built on that land. Antioch builds 2½ times more houses per acre of land than Brentwood does. Brentwood will listen to you; Antioch and the county will not have to. The land in Measure F is already part

of the Brentwood General Plan, and it is already in the city’s sphere of influence. Now it needs to be inside the urban limit line. The project pays for itself and more. There are no new taxes on the rest of us related to this measure. The project adds amenities to the City of Brentwood that we would not otherwise have – like a new sports park, a new paramedic and a completed road around Heritage High School. These are expensive, and there is no other way to get them. There will not be houses built until the economy recovers. The landowners can choose what city they want to be in, and I’m glad that they want to be part of Brentwood. I’ve had my business in Brentwood for 17 years and think it’s a great place to live and work. I’m tired of hearing the lies spread and paid for by people who do not live in our city. Support Measure F and keep Brentwood in control of this land. Please vote Yes on Measure F on June 8. Ralph Strauss Brentwood

Devilish details decried Editor: “The largely undeveloped hills surrounding Brentwood create a rural setting and add to the small-town feeling of the community” – an excerpt from Brentwood’s General Plan.

does not fit our General Plan; Measure F “is a farce” because it did not involve the citizenry of Brentwood; “the devil is in the details” throughout the measure, including the almost overlooked plan to build homes that would put up to another 4,000 people on the roadways; and the devilish details use fear tactics to trick us into voting yes. Since the fact of the matter is that with or without Measure F there is not going to be any development in the proposed area for quite a long while (even the proponents of F now acknowledge that), and since this also means that the “emergency” enhancements to the roads won’t take place either for quite a long while, including American Avenue, why don’t we back off, vote No on F, then develop our own plan for the area, a plan that conforms more to our General Plan that so many have spent long, hard hours creating over the years, a plan that Brentwood residents can participate in creating, a plan for our community, by our community. Measure F has been foisted upon us through a suspect process of petition signature gathering, with no input from the citizenry, requiring that a measure be placed on the ballot. Even our elected city leaders could not stop the process, even if they wanted to. It is the law: you get the signatures (no matter how) and you get the ballot issue. Now we are coming up to Election Day. Now we have a chance to tell our city, and LAFCO, “We want our own plan” for the area. Now we have a chance to say, “Enough is enough” with the devilish details. Now we have a chance to assert our independence from planners and developers we the citizens

did not invite. Now we have a renewed chance to participate in our City’s future. Vote No on F Kermit Sveen Brentwood

Let Antioch get the property? No way Editor: I am voting Yes on Measure F because Brentwood should have that property. Right now, we don’t. It would be really bad for us if Antioch had the power to allow high-density housing right on our border and around our schools. Three LAFCO members have told us that Antioch might get the property if Brentwood says no. That’s all I need to know. There is no way I want that to happen. Regina Gomez Brentwood

Don’t gamble on Brentwood’s future Editor: I was going to vote against Measure F, as I was told by the opponents that opposing was against development. Voting against Measure F does not guarantee us anything; it simply opens the door for Antioch’s urban limit line to move to us. Opposing Measure F is a risky gamble, with dire potential consequences. My research has shown that this land is private property, and if this measure is defeated, this land and possibly the other see Letters page 19A

Letters from page 18A side of Balfour could definitely go to Antioch. Anyone reading the Brentwood Press letters to the editor from three different LAFCO representatives knows that LAFCO would respect either city’s voters, making the potential of Antioch being here a reality. I just read in another newspaper that Antioch is in deep financial trouble, potentially facing bankruptcy Do you want to gamble ? Review your bets: 1. Could an outside developer can take an option on this property or include it along with the north side of Balfour and bring it to Antioch? 2. Is it logical that a desperate city might approve any developer’s building plan just to secure the revenue from developers? 3. Are there developers who would build what would never be approved in Brentwood, if they could, to take advantage of this desperate situation? 4. Do Brentwood residents realize that Antioch’s average home density is 4.5 homes per acre and this project at the most would be 1.85 per acre? 4.5 would put in 3,300 homes, and if the other side of Balfour were included, over 7,000 homes. 5. If a low-scale Antioch building plan were to happen in the west side of Brentwood, would the impact of low-cost apartments and other high-profit, lowpriced housing products totally outside of our control lower home values and desirability?

THEPRESS.NET

6. Would Shadow Lakes and Deer Ridge be particularly at risk of devastating consequences? 7. Would our schools also greatly suffer, as both sides of Balfour are in our Brentwood school districts, if students come to our schools whether they live in Brentwood or Antioch, forcing Brentwood students out of their neighborhood schools of Heritage, Krey and Loma Vista? 8.

Late on Mortgage Payments? Is a Loan Modification for You? by Joan Grimes, Esq. In the last column, I discussed the “overall” problems with loan modifications. Specifically, that most of the programs do not give any meaningful modification to the loan and there is no “upfront” approval or denial of the modification prior to entering into the trial modifications payments. Since the column was published, I have received many calls wanting to know more nuts and bolts information about the current state of loan modification programs. So here is what I know after 2 years. 1. Income- The borrower needs to have documented income. If the borrower does not receive a regular paycheck, monies need to be going through a bank account to show income. Loan modifications are much harder for self-employed individuals. 2. Loan Modification Payments include payment of principal. Therefore, if you have an option arm loan (also known as a pick-a-payment) or an interest only loan, the loan modification payment will in all likelihood be higher than your prior payment amount. Also, loan modification payments will include an impound for taxes and insurance which will further increase the monthly payment. 3. There are no principal balance reductions. The best we have seen is where the investor waives the accrued interest on the loan. If a person tells you they got a principal reduction, it is usually means that a portion of the loan balance is now a silent second which will need to be paid at the time of sale of the property or as a balloon payment later. 4. A trial modification does not guarantee a permanent modification. I have clients who have been in trial modifications for over 1 year with no permanent modification. The word on the street is that “new” people who are applying for modifications will have their underwriting done prior to starting the trial modification and that the modification is guaranteed. However, I will believe it when I see it.

5. Consider filing bankruptcy to discharge credit card and other unsecured debt before applying for loan modification. When you apply for a loan modification, the lender will run your credit. While a low credit score will not prevent a modification, the less unsecured debt you have, the more money you will have available to make the modification payments. A Chapter 13 may also be available to avoid a junior lien on your home. 6. Net Present Value Test. This is the mystery calculation used by investors to determine whether a loan modification should approved. What we do know is that the borrower’s long term ability to pay on a modification combined with the present value of the investor’s investment i.e. the collateral weighs heavily in the calculation. Therefore, if you live in a “low” foreclosure area such as Danville or San Ramon, the likelihood that an investor will want “get out” now, is very high. On the other hand, if the value of the investment is very low at this time i.e. the value of the home is low, the lender will be more inclined to approve the modification. In conclusion, most loan modifications make no sense for borrowers. There will be no principal reduction or long term payment reduction. However, if you are considering a a default on your home or considering a loan modification, I urge you to seek legal counsel as soon as possible to fully understand the consequences of the decision. . *THIS INFORMATION IS NOT PROVIDED AS LEGAL ADVICE AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UP IN MAKING ANY DECISION REGARDING A VOLUNTARY DEFAULT, SHORT SALE, FORECLOSURE OR BANKRUPTCY.

How to get fit for life by Kiki Powers May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, which prompts a question: What if you learned that you never had to “diet” again? What if all you had to do was eat reasonably healthy meals and snacks and you’d find yourself becoming more fit and energetic every day by only doing one other thing? Would you do it? That one little thing is exercise. Experts report that lack of physical activity contributes to some 300,000 deaths in the United States each year – deaths caused by heart disease, stroke, diabetes and other conditions. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, while 62 percent of Americans have some physical activity in their leisure time, only three in 10 exercise regularly, despite its proven health benefits. Paired with a relatively healthy diet, consistent exercise is a major key to wellness, vitality, a more positive outlook, healthy longevity and disease prevention across the board. What if you don’t feel like moving? Granted, it takes some effort, but once you get a little momentum, it does get easier. And you are well worth the time and energy for an endeavor that over time will rejuvenate you physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally. Here are just a few benefits to get you out the door today: Exercise helps you manage your weight When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories and boost your metabolism. The more regular the activity, the more calories you burn – and the easier it is to keep your weight

under control. You don’t even need to set aside major chunks of time for working out. Opt for the stairs instead of the elevator. Walk during your lunch break. Dedicated workouts are great, but physical activity you accumulate throughout the day burns calories, too. Exercise improves your mood A simple 30-minute daily walk can make all the difference. Invite your kids and/or your dog. Did you know walking daily is one of the main ways that French women stay slim? They don’t flock to health clubs like Americans, but they walk. Moreover, exercise stimulates brain chemicals that promote happiness and relaxation. You’ll also look better and feel better when you exercise regularly, which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem. Regular physical activity can even help prevent – and combat – depression. Exercise combats chronic diseases After age 40 especially, physical activity is a formidable ally in disease prevention. Did you know that even 30 minutes of exercise three times per week can help you prevent – and manage – high blood pressure, reduce LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, boost HDL (“good”) cholesterol and decrease potentially dangerous blood fats called triglycerides? All of this helps keeps your blood flowing smoothly by lowering the buildup of plaque in your arteries. And there’s more. Regular physical activity can also help prevent Type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis and certain types of cancer. – Kiki Powers is a certified nutritional consultant.

Local swimmers get feet wet at NCS by Michael Dixon Correspondent

In the past, the NCS Championships has hosted future Olympic champions such as Natalie Coughlin. Last week, a group of swimmers from Heritage, as well as Freedom’s Justin Stafford, made their presence felt at the meet that has perhaps the greatest concentration of talent of any high school meet in the country. “You’ve got the cream of the crop,” said Heritage Coach Craig Carson. “This is one of the fastest high school meets in the nation. We had a national record broken here today. Most of the top times are All-American times. That kind of separates the men from the boys. A couple of the finals had all eight All-Americans swimming. So when you have eight of the top 100 swimmers in the country all at one time, it’s pretty competitive.” Earning All-American consideration for Heritage was its girls 200-yard freestyle relay team of Haley Rose Love, Madison Applegate, Erica Knudsen and Jessica Crawford. The quartet set a school record in that event of 1:39.58 en route to a second-place finish in the consolation bracket. The same foursome finished third in the consolation bracket in the 400-yard freestyle relay. Also setting a Heritage record was the boys 400-yard relay team of Kurt Holzmuller, Zach Duran, Ryan Barsanti and Clint Freeman. In addition to her re-

The Heritage relay team of Haley Rose Love, Madison Applegate, Erica Knudsen and Jessica Crawford celebrates victory with Coach Craig Carson. lay exploits, Love, who is only a freshman, finished second in the consolation bracket of the 50-yard freestyle, and seventh in the consolation bracket of the 100-yard freestyle. Freeman, a junior, took third in the consolation bracket of the 100-yard breaststroke. Applegate, who is just a sophomore, was the Patriots’ standout performer of the weekend. She took sixth in the 100yard butterfly and seventh in the 200-yard freestyle; both of those finishes were in the championship bracket. Excited about the youth of his team, Carson said, “Of the people here in finals at North Coast, we have Jessica (Craw-

ford). She’s on two relays and she’s leaving us. Clint (Freeman), who’s on the boys relay and the 100 breaststroke, is graduating. And that’s it.” When asked about how to improve, Carson said, “I’ve been really looking hard at that. If you look at all the swimmers that have moved on and made it to finals here, they’re all pretty dedicated year-round swimmers. A couple of them play water polo in the fall. But for the most part, they’ve dedicated themselves and we need to get more of our kids moving in that direction. So hopefully they’ll join the Sea Wolves or the Terrapins.” “The main thing is that they’re in

the water and training. That could mean summer rec swimming and then water polo in the fall and then swimming in the winter. But the main thing is to keep it going. We have a lot of kids this year on the team that are year-round in aquatics. A lot of them are playing six months of water polo. We have two camps. We have the kids who play water polo to help stay in shape for swimming, and the kids who swim to get in shape for water polo.” “We had a couple of disappointments yesterday in our relays; I thought our relays were going to swim a little better. We had a lot of excitement last week at the league meet. That’s a big meet for us, and it’s hard to get up two weeks in a row. So if we can get to the point where we can look through the league meet and focus on this one, rather than the one last week, that will make a big difference in our performance.” In addition to the Heritage group, the only BVAL swimmer was Stafford, who is a junior at Freedom. He finished seventh in the 50-yard freestyle consolation bracket and eighth in the 200-yard freestyle consolation. When assessing the season, Carson summed up the life of a coach when he said, “I think when we look back on the year, we’ll see that it was a really successful year. We’ll take a deep breath, take a rest and then start working for next year.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Track stars strut their stuff by Nate Smith Correspondent

When the four leagues that comprise the Tri-Valley area in track and field get together for the North Coast Section Championships, each league seems to showcase the events in which they bring the greatest strength. The 2010 meet was no different for the Bay Valley Athletic League, as the teams from East Contra Costa County captured 11 first-place finishes, 10 of those in sprint and hurdle events. The BVAL did not win a single event in the throws or distances, but compensated by dominating the sprints and hurdles. Freedomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boys and Deer Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girls laid claim to the title of sprint kings and queens, respectively, in the Tri-Valley area. Deer Valley took both girls relays, beating Monte Vista by four full seconds in the 4x400-meter relay, and Heritage by nearly a full second in the 4x100-meter relay. The Falcons, meanwhile, were able to hold off San Ramon Valley by two-hundredths of a second in the 4x100 relay, their first area relay title in school history. The overall strength of the BVAL girls sprints was confirmed by the fact that the top three teams in the girls 4x100-meter relay were all local â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Heritage and Antioch placed right behind Deer Valley. Wolverine Chizoba Okodogbe, the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top-ranked female 400-meter runner, made an impressive showing, easily capturing the 200- and 400-meter races, while also run-

ning on the victorious relays. She was joined as a dual individual champion by teammate Erica Wilson, who won both hurdle races, edging out Deer Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jamela Kemp in the 100-meter hurdles and posting a strong time of 45.43 to win the 300-meter hurdles. Another standout hurdler was Freedomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kenny Walker. Walker, who also ran on the winning 400-meter relay team, strengthened his claim as the top sophomore hurdler in the state with two remarkable times. His 14.49 in the 110-meter hurdles â&#x20AC;&#x201C; against a head-wind â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was a personal best. And Walker won the 300-meter hurdles by nearly a full second and finished third in the long jump, despite not taking his final two jumps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was really proud of the boys relay and our ability to turn out a good time, despite the poor weather conditions,â&#x20AC;? said Freedom Coach Glenn Briggs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve really come together at the right time, especially considering we only have one senior in the group.â&#x20AC;? The Falcons placed fifth overall at the Tri-Valley Championships, their highest finish in school history. The league also produced two other individual champions from outside the Deer Valley and Freedom sprint crews. Antiochâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Khadija Suleman edged teammate Taevionna Wilson to win the girls 100-meter dash And Heritageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Khyia Slone easily won the triple jump with her best effort of 36 feet, 4.5 inches. Slone also placed second in the long jump. Other notable athletes included Deer

Best divers rise to the top by Dave Roberts Staff Writer

The cream rises to the top, as the saying goes. And the cream of East County divers, Liberty’s Jake Tickner and Heritage’s Kat Kiba, who both won the Bay Valley Athletic League (BVAL) championship two weeks ago, also led East County divers at last week’s North Coast Section (NCS) championship in Concord. Tickner finished 10th at NCS, bettering last year’s 14th place finish. “He made North Coast all four years, and every year he got a little bit better,” said Liberty/Heritage diving coach Phil Tonne. “We were hoping for top eight. But that’s alright; he did a good job. He did very well. He missed one dive that wasn’t up to his norm. He was sick over the weekend pretty badly and didn’t get to practice Monday or Tuesday. So it’s good that he was even here (on Thursday) to bounce back as well as he did.” Kiba came in 15th at NCS, which is impressive, given that she’s new to the sport and competing against girls who have been diving for years. Asked about her BVAL victory, she said, “That was really exciting because it was my first year diving. So it was kind of a surprise too. I did gymnastics before and I got injured recently, so I wanted to try something new.”

Liberty’s Jake Tickner, seen here in the BVAL championship meet that he won, led East County divers with a 10th-place ﬁnish at NCS. She said diving is a little easier than gymnastics. Sliding gently into the water and jumping off a springy board is more forgiving on the body than gymnastics, in which she tore her ACL and

meniscus in a floor routine. Fortunately, many of the skills she learned in the gym translate to the pool. That translation helped Freedom’s Alexia Paredes qualify for NCS in only her first year of diving. Two months ago she had never tried the sport – and there she was competing against the best in Northern California. The junior can only improve next year on her 34thplace finish. “I think we tried our best,” she said. “A lot of us, it’s our first year. So it’s just good experience to watch other really good divers and just learn from their ways. Then we know what to expect next year. I have a really good coach, Patrick (McQuaid). He’s taught us everything we know so far. It’s been fun.” Several Deer Valley divers bettered their results from last year’s NCS: Rachel Cadwallader, who tied for 21st last year, finished 17th this year; Isabella Navarro took 20th place this year after having finished 33rd last year; and Meagan Soraoka came in 26th after finishing 32nd last year. Two boys diving in their first year also made it to NCS: Matt Tonne (son of Phil) from Heritage finished 23rd and Liberty’s Rogan Sautter came in 27th. Other Freedom divers making their inaugural NCS included Mikaila Lucido (25th), Kirsten Hulsey (28th) and Kate Clark (31st). To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Wingless Sprint racer repeats by Jack Menges Correspondent

Tom Laliberte can hardly wait to get back into action again in the Wingless Sprint Division at the Antioch Speedway. However, he’ll need to wait until the middle of next month, as the track will be dark over next two weekends. Laliberte won his second straight main event the past weekend over the three-eighths-mile track, where he virtually dominated the evening. The hard-charging driver turned in the fastest qualifying time and won his heat race prior to the feature victory. Jim Perry took second in the main event and Trevor Press placed third. Wingless Sprints: Fast Qualifier – Tom Laliberte:14.675; Heat Winners – Jim Perry, Laliberte and Gary Nelson; Main Event – Laliberte, Perry, Trevor Press, Terry Bradshaw and Randy McClenon.

people think or that sort of thing. I felt like I was very blessed in 2008 for him to come to Oakland and be a Raider for a year. “No matter what, wherever I coached, he and I would talk on the phone and it would always be about you, home, Antioch, high school football. Just the loyalty that you all have shown to him it’s always been about you. This is Jeremy’s Day and Antioch’s day to honor Jeremy. But he’s always honored you. He’s dear to me, he’s like a son to me. He’s always honored where he came from, and that’s huge to me.” Several of Newberry’s former teammates and opponents, including Ray Brown,

Ben Lynch, Ron Stone and Adrian Ross, also praised him and he received several proclamations and the key to the city from Antioch Mayor Jim Davis. Then Newberry thanked his family, former coaches, San Francisco 49ers teammates, the event organizers and the several hundred people who had turned out on a blustery afternoon at the Antioch Historical Society Museum to honor him. “It’s a pleasure playing with every one of these guys,” he said. “Without them I wouldn’t be the player that I am. If you look at the size of those two men down at the end of the row, those double teams made it real easy when I’ve got guards like that on either side of me. I don’t know if it was a coincidence that I

made both of my Pro Bowls when they were playing on each side of me. I don’t think so. It was a definite pleasure. Without them I definitely wouldn’t be where I was. I thank this community for standing behind me through the good and some of the rough times. It’s an honor to have every one of you out here. I do appreciate all the support and love you guys have given me.” Newberry played 11 NFL seasons, most of them for the 49ers, making it to the Pro Bowl in 2001 and 2002. He retired last year, lives in Brentwood, is going back to school to get his degree and will be an assistant offensive line coach for the Bears. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Anne comes to Antioch Stage Right Conservatory Theatre, Inc. will perform L.M. Montgomery’s beloved “Anne of Green Gables,” this weekend at the Nick Rodriguez Community Center, 213 F St. in Antioch. Produced by special arrangement with The Dramatic Publishing Company and directed by Bryan Anthony, “Anne of Green Gables” tells the story of Anne Shirley, an orphan in Canada at the turn of the 20th century. Anne is adopted by an elderly brother and sister who had asked for a boy from the orphanage but were sent the vivacious and endearing redhead instead. As the play unfolds, we get to witness the hilarious predicaments that Anne and her friends get themselves into. The cast of 10-to-17-year olds captures the charm and excitement of one of literature’s most unforgettable stories. Performances are scheduled for 7 p.m. on Friday, May 28 and Saturday, May 29; Friday, June 4 and Saturday, June 5; and 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 30 and Sunday, June 6. Admission is $10 for adults, $8 for students and seniors, and $5 for children. Seniors pay only $5 for Sunday matinees. For more information, call 925-216-4613 or visit www.srctgrp.org.

‘Broadway’ in Brentwood “Broadway Under The Stars” comes to The Streets of Brentwood this summer in a trio of theater productions performed on a SaddleSpan amphitheater designed to create an intimate theater experience. The season begins in July with “Guys and Dolls,” one of the greatest musicals of all time. The second show is “Auction Gallery,” which echoes “Night at the Museum,” where famous works of art come to life. “Auction Gallery” will also provide afitting lead-in to Brentwood’s Art, Wine & Jazz Festival. Closing the first season is Andrew Lloyd Webber’s popular “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” featuring a children’s chorus. Auditions for these productions will be held Saturday and Sunday, June 5 and 6, at 1 p.m. at Resurrection Ministries, 1275 Fairview Ave. in Brentwood. Bring sheet music in your key, and a fast and slow song – up-tempo and ballad. If you don’t have sheet music, come anyway and you can sing a scale, accompanied by piano. Children’s chorus auditions for “Joseph” will be held at a different time than the adult auditions. Those wishing to sew, build and paint sets, play an instrument, act, sing or dance are also needed. Those interested in sponsoring or supporting “Broadway Under the Stars” should call Brentwood Arts Society President Jack Gaughan at 925-513 3863 or e-mail slcbk@ ail.com. Facebook users are invited to look up the Kinsella Theater Group page.
