The spirit of the season was alive and well in Discovery Bay last weekend as thousands of spectators lined the streets for the annual Parade of Lights and tree lighting ceremony. More than 90 floats and 600 participants turned out for the ninth annual holiday party, sponsored this year by the Delta Sun Times. The tree lighting event, which followed the parade at the Discovery Bay Shopping Center, was hosted by the Discovery Bay Lions Club. “Looking around the audience this year, all I saw were smiles,” said Parade Director Amanda Dove. “There were people cheering, and some had tears of joy at the beautiful demonstration before us. The parade grows and grows, and floats get more and more elaborate, but the event still keeps its small-town charm.” This year’s parade theme was

The Polar Express rolled into town last weekend and took home the Best Spirit award for the Discovery Bay Parade of Lights annual event. Holiday Movies, and some of the more popular floats featured imagery from “The Polar Express” and “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” Parade emcees Glenn Sparks and Erin Pellaton announced parade entries
throughout the evening, and float judges Chris Steele, Rita Caruso, Marla Luckhardt and Penny Dove made the tough final decisions. According to Dove, the evening was about more than floats
and parades – it was about community. “The parade is wonderful,” she said, “because it involves everyone in Discovery Bay, including children

Garbage changes in the works by Ruth Roberts
“ We think it will eventually help everyone
Staff Writer
If ever there were a time to get excited about trash and recycling, that time is now. Beginning in January, county residents in Brentwood, Discovery Bay, Knightsen and Bethel Island will begin receiving not one but three brand-new wheeled garbage containers for all their trash, recycling and green waste needs – courtesy of Discovery Bay Disposal Service. “This is going to be a great program for everyone,” said Dave Adler, regional manager of Discovery Bay Disposal. “We think it will eventually help everyone recycle more and lower their garbage bills. We’re excited about the move.”
recycle more and lower their garbage bills. We’re excited about the move.
”
Dave Adler, Discovery Bay Disposal For most residents, the wheeled containers are nothing new, but out in the unincorporated areas of the county, where homeowners have been dealing with one large trash can, two small recycling crates and the responsibility of providing their own green waste cans for years, the new curbside program – recently approved by the board of supervisors – is exciting. “I think it’s going to be a win-win for the community and

should help keep everyone’s overall costs down,” said Discovery Bay General Manager Rick Howard. Here’s how it works. Beginning with the rollout in January, all residents will receive a 96-gallon blue container for recycling and a 96-gallon green container for green waste. In addition, residents can choose a brown container for garbage. The brown containers are available in 20-, 32-, 64- or 96-gallon variet-

ies. Those who already have the 96-gallon green containers, which are supplied from Discovery Bay Disposal, will keep them and use them for green waste. Those who don’t have them will receive them with their other containers. Although the initial program will cost customers about $10 more per billing cycle (due to the rising cost of labor, said Adler), if they stick with their current 96-gallon cans, many will find they’re no longer filling up the larger cans once they begin recycling. The result: they might be able to use a smaller trash can at a lower cost. Garbage cans will be available in the following sizes, and the monthly price includes all three see Garbage page 26A

Scared of Santa
Oakley chiropractor Rick Junnila is the author of a holiday book “An Elf Named Finley.” The Christmas story is already a best seller on Amazon.com.

hile Santa Claus is a source of joy for some children, he’s evidently a source of terror for others. Jennie Volta, above, didn’t get around to telling Santa what she wanted for Christmas – she was too busy bawling. Turns out that many a child’s scream switch is flipped by St. Nick, as evidenced by the nominations submitted for the Press’ inaugural Scared of Santa Photo Contest. Log on to www.thepress. net and click the Scared of Santa button on the right of the screen to view the entries and submit your own photo.

A funny thing happened to Rick Junnila on the way to the best-seller list. The Oakley chiropractor and former hospital chief of staff lost his marriage, his job and eventually his home. “It was a low point in my life,” said Junnila, owner of Lifestyle Health & Fitness Center in Oakley. “I was basically homeless with my two children. At my lowest point I found myself sleeping in the bottom bunk of my son’s bed at my ex-wife’s house with her boyfriend and kids. I thought ‘something has got to change.’ Out of sheer des-
peration and lack of sleep I started meditating to calm my mind.” So when his young daughter turned to him in the midst of his life crisis and questioned the existence of Santa, Junnila immediately turned to meditation for an answer, and the result was “An Elf Named Finley.” “The amazing part was that it came to me in the form of knowing it all at once, like a CD full of information,” said Junnila. “I immediately knew that the story was something larger than me because I had never written a story in my life.” see Career page 16A

Away in a manger Impact Christian Church in Brentwood invites the community to take a trip back 2,000 years to the birth of Jesus. “A Night in Bethlehem” celebrates the wonder of the Holy Land and the true reason for the season. Held Saturday, Dec. 17 from 5 to 8 p.m. at 390 West Country Club Drive (next to Willy’s Bagels), the event re-creates the stable and manger where Jesus was born and offers a tour of the Bethlehem marketplace, where time-travelers can relish the aroma of freshbaked bread, learn a trade from a master craftsman, enjoy the fabric shop and get their pictures taken as a souvenir. There is no charge for admission. “This is our first year doing this, and we are so excited,” said Lorraine Whitehouse, one of the organizers of the celebration. “We hope everyone will come out and enjoy this wonderful community event.”

DASH to rescue, place animals by Samie Hartley Staff Writer
Delta Animals Safe Haven has been operating in Antioch for only a few months, but the animal rescue group has already touched the hearts of many East County families. Press readers showed their support of the organization, known as DASH, by voting it the Favorite Charity of 2011 in a Facebook contest held last month. “I didn’t think we had a chance,” said DASH President Rick Stirrat. “There were so many great organizations nominated and we’re so small and new, but thank you so much to the community for voting for us. We feel very blessed.” As the winner of the contest, DASH will receive a free, full-page color advertisement in the Press in the upcoming year. The prize couldn’t have come at a better time, as the young pet rescue group is busy raising funds for a no-kill shelter in Antioch that features animals rescued from only the Antioch Shelter.
“People have no idea what the state of animal shelters is these days,” said DASH Board Member and Homeless Animal Response Program (HARP) President Karen Kops. “There are so many animals packed into these shelters, and our goal is to rescue as many as possible. We need a facility so that we can do that, but for now, we are run exclusively by volunteers who act as foster families until we can find our rescues a good home.” Kops said she has formed friendships with many staff members at the Antioch Animal Shelter and that the partnership between DASH and the shelter has led to the rescue of 27 dogs since July. To date 17 dogs have been adopted from DASH. Stirrat said DASH members pull dogs out from the Antioch Shelter on a weekly basis, but when the group gets its facility, he’d like to rescue as many as 40 dogs per month and add a cat rescue program. He estimates DASH will need to raise at least $250,000 to keep a facility afloat. “What we really need is for some big do-

They always do this little freedom dance. There’s a misconception that shelter dogs are runts; that they are mean, pet rejects, but that’s not true. Shelter dogs are so loving and friendly. They just need a
family to share that love.” Families who foster dogs are provided all the materials needed for caring for the dog while it stays at their home. All area residents are welcome to serve as foster families as long as they can bring the dog to a weekly adoption event held on Friday nights at PetSmart in Antioch. DASH dogs are adopted for $200. They come spayed or neutered, microchipped and up-to-date on all of their vaccinations. DASH hosts pet adoptions on Fridays from 5 to 8 p.m. at PetSmart, 5879 Lone Tree Way in Antioch.

END OF THE YEAR TAX TIPS
History Mystery solved History sleuths love a good mystery, as evidenced by the responses to last month’s History Mystery. The featured postcard showed an unpaved road lined with trees and white, horizontal-board buildings. Several men and women pose in the sun and shadows in this image, which was taken from an elevated perspective. Jon Adams, prior owner of the Byron Hot Springs and currently residing in Hawaii, said the construction and architecture of the buildings is similar to that of the resort’s salt-water-plunge facility cottages built in the 1870s and ’80s. Longtime East County resident Norma Lewis suggested the subject of the image is the Souza and Pimentel home on Camino Diablo Road. East County historian Kathy Leighton identified the building as the Byron Hotel,
which was built in 1885 by Fred Holloway. The hotel stood where the town’s post office is currently located. The hotel property underwent a succession of owners and often accepted overflow guests from the overbooked Byron Hot Springs Hotel. Leighton believes this photo was taken sometime after 1913, when electricity came to Byron (note the electric utility pole to right of the building) and before 1917, when the Byron Hotel – along with most of the town – burned to the ground. Readers interested in the history of Byron and other East County communities can learn more in Leighton’s “East Contra Costa County: Footprints in the Sand,” published by the East Contra Costa Historical Society. – Contributed by Carol Jensen
The end of the year is fast approaching. Now is the time to do some planning ahead to try to reduce your income tax bill if you can. Here are two ideas for you to consider. 1. Pay your property tax bill in December (if you can). If your property taxes are not impounded, that means you write the checks yourself. If this is you, and you can afford it, consider paying the 2nd installment (the one due next February) before the end of this year. That could increase your deductions for the 2011 tax year. 2. Pay your January mortgage payment(s) in December. Same reason as above. This can generate an extra month’s worth of interest deduction on your taxes. You’ll want to check with your tax professional first to see if it is more beneficial to increase your deductions this year versus next. If, for example, you believe you will be in a lower tax bracket next year
because of a reduction in income, you may want more tax breaks this year, and vice versa. If this seems backwards, consider that the higher your marginal tax rate, the more beneficial each dollar of deduction is. This is an important consideration, because by pulling some of your 2012 deductions into 2011, you will be effectively reducing your 2012 deductions by that amount. If you do this again in 2012, you will be roughly breaking even (assuming you will be in the same tax bracket). However, due to the time value of money, I think you’d rather have the tax break THIS year versus next year. Please check with your tax professional for specifics to your situation.

Green and white – the gift of winter Stillness but for the motion of breath in steam. Silence but for the call of a distant owl, a smoke ring of sound disintegrating into heavy air. I was standing still and silent, hoping to spot a bobcat scouting for an ambush site among boulders hidden in TAKE IT mist, or a coyote loping UTSIDE warily through an arroyo laced in haze. It was morning at Round Valley Regional Preserve, but it could have been evening. The Sun’s disc, wherever it might be drifting in the cerulean blue, was GER veiled by a wave of ERICKSON white saturating East County like a tsunami in slow motion. I was standing inside a cloud. I hike in the fog not merely for the eerie imagery, for the vision of oaks drifting wraithlike in and out of view; I hike in the fog for the awareness of my own form drifting wraithlike in and out of view. I come to wear the white like a garment. But my world that morning was far from wall-to-wall white. Glowing through the gloom on the ridge I was tacking to the park’s summit were infant grasses, a stippling of green beneath the tall amber of thistle and rye echoing summer’s dry heat – a green that would soon crowd out
O
the amber and dominate our landscape for the next six months. Grass and fog; green and white. How fitting that two colors from our holiday palette are the colors of winter in Northern California. And how nice for me, a hiker addicted to adventures offtrail, that my favorite season was about to begin. In that other season, from June through November, adventures off-trail require lengthy post-hike extractions of barbs and hooks from shoes and socks. Round Valley’s interior, a verdant and trouble-free wonderland December through May, in summer becomes a minefield of tall, dry things that sting and cling. But I’d come to this place for more than green and white. I’d come to steal a glimpse of the hidden – a view denied the several hundred thousand folk far below. I’d come to see if the park’s 1,220foot summit stood above or below the fog’s rippled plateau. If above, I’d be able to rotate through the panorama of Mt. Diablo’s twin peaks in the west, the broad brushstroke of Morgan Territory’s ridgeline southeast, south to the Ohlone Wilderness, and east to the Sierra’s granite spine. Round Valley’s interior hills are a maze of escarpments, ravines and ridges. Take your pick: from the trailhead you can see Outside page 9A

Outside from page 8A assault the park’s apex from a variety of approaches offering a variety of scenery and compounding a variety of sweat equity. Since I was anxious to discover the state of the fog at the top, I opted for speed. I chose the fastest (and therefore steepest) route: Ridge X. You won’t find the label “Ridge X” on the map you snatch at the trailhead. Few of the park’s features have been given a name, and the interior hills are devoid of trail markers. But we Homo sapiens love naming stuff, so my unofficial map of Round Valley Regional Preserve is scribbled with terms such as Arroyo Grande, Antler Ravine and ridges dubbed Coyote, Ithuriel, Clover, Castle (aka Blue Angel) and X – for expressway. Thoreau believed that winter promotes an inward life. Standing on the banks of a frozen river, he imagined the human brain as “the kernel which winter itself matures.” Winter clears the mind’s clutter as the winter wind clears leaves from forest branches, giving our intellectual landscape a transparency that allows us to see through things. “The winter,” Thoreau maintained, “is thrown to us like a bone to a famished dog, and we are expected to get the marrow out of it.” The irony of fog is that it aids, not inhibits, vision – the sort of vision Thoreau described. You know how it goes: The fog ahead seems utterly opaque. But with each step through it you’re able to resolve nearby images with remarkable clarity. You’re trapped in a bubble of the immediate. There is no ahead; there is only here. I arrived at a summit drowned in fog. That vision of Diablo, Morgan Territory, Ohlone and the Sierra I’d hoped for was denied. No trace of bobcat or coyote. The visible universe had collapsed to a sphere 150 yards in diameter. What lay beyond was the stuff of theory; not evidence. But I was in good company. That miniature cosmos, that fogencased bubble I was dragging around resonated with the energy of creatures committed to the present task: cicada and butterfly larvae, great-horned owls and kit foxes; some dormant, some busy outwitting the cold Sun and long night. They don’t need fog to make them aware of the grass beneath their feet. Their existence is free of the riddle of existence, of melancholic musings over the uncertain promise of spring. They aren’t mesmerized by metaphors. They are metaphors. And so I count among the season’s many blessings the white and green – yes, even the cold Sun and long night that are their inseparable companions. May they pass into and through us, and lead us to find on the other side of winter a place – perhaps on Ridge X – where the first wildflowers grasp for the growing light, a place that without winter would be far less sweet.

Do you have a Junior Mortgage on Your House?
Lien Stripping in Chapter 13 by Joan Grimes, Esq. One of the great advantages of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy at this time is ability to strip a lien on your principal residence that does not attach to any equity. Here is a common example: Principal residence has current fair market value of $300,000. The first mortgage has a balance of $400,000 and the second mortgage has a balance of $100,000. Because the second mortgage does not attach to any equity in the property, the lien can be avoided or “stripped” in a Chapter 13 thereby removing the balance of $100,000 at the completion of the Chapter 13 case. When does a Chapter 13 lien stripping case make sense? First, the residence must be your principal residence i.e. where you sleep at night. Second, you don’t want to file a Chapter 13 to strip a lien unless you really, really want to stay in this house. Third, the balance on the junior lien needs to be large enough combined with other debt to make a Chapter 13 advantageous i.e. you don’t want to file Chapter 13 to avoid a lien of $10,000. If a Chapter 13 is sounding like something that might work for you, there are several other things to consider. First, we must make sure all of the owners of the property and all of the people who signed on the mortgage note we need to strip are filing bankruptcy. For example, if the property is owned by both you and your spouse, we cannot strip off the mortgage unless both of you are filing bankruptcy. Second, in order to strip off the mortgage, we have to prove that your real property is not worth more than the payoff balances on the other senior mortgages. That is, we need to prove that there is no value, not even
one dollar, left in your real property to “secure” the mortgage we are trying to strip in the Chapter 13. Third, you need to have a “real” senior mortgage or at least a reasonable “hope” of one through a modification. The best senior mortgages for lien stripping cases are 30 year fixed that you can really afford or a mortgage that has been modified into a loan you can afford. If the senior mortgage is going to reset into a payment you cannot afford in 1,2,3 or 4 years, there is no reason to spend the money to strip a junior lien and then lose the house to a foreclosure by the senior lender later. In conclusion, there has never been a better time for Chapter 13 lien stripping cases. Home values are low and the number of junior liens that do not attach to any equity are at an all time high. This is truly the lemonade out lemons recipe if you are intending on staying in your current residence and meet the requirements for a Chapter 13. Prior to simply walking away for your current residence, it may be a good idea to consider a Chapter 13 and see what it can do for you. WE ARE A DEBT RELIEF AGENCY.

The Salvation Army operates several domestic violence shelters nationwide, where abused women and children can get a fresh life.

Setting the comedic Pace Comedian Mike Pace is the featured attraction at Cap’s Oak Street Bar & Grill in a comedy show scheduled for Friday, Dec. 9 at 9 p.m. The show is hosted and produced by Bob-O Phillips.

The jacket’s too small, neckties drive him crazy and he’s finally learned to tie his shoes. In addition to his experience in improvisational comedy, Pace has studied theater and developed a deep passion for both acting and comedy. He has been seen on “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and has made several commercials and independent films as an actor. Pace is surrounded by comedy in his family life, which features a radio DJ wife whose show follows Howard Stern, a long-haired 16-year-old in a hard-rock band, a 14-year-old daughter facing the pressures of tattoos and body-piercing, and a 5-year-old surprise baby.

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage Matters By Trevor Frey
To Give Half of a person’s joy is the experiencing of another person’s joy; when you make someone happy, it makes you happy too. When you give, you’re both giving and receiving, which is far more rewarding than just receiving. Unfortunately, this would be mantra for life is only truly expressed – by most – during the holiday season…for some strange reason the weather gets colder and people’s hearts get warmer. They think less about where their next golf game, fishing excursion, or backyard BBQ is going to be and more about where their next donation drop off can be found. Even more unfortunate is the fact that this would be mantra for life – again, for most, as some people practice this genuine trait of giving all year round – has been tainted in the form of commercialization. During this year’s Black Friday we saw senseless acts of greed and violence hit closer to home than ever before. In southern California there was the now infamous women who pepper-sprayed over fifteen other shoppers in her attempt to secure an X-Box 360 for her children. The news didn’t report this, but I’m positive she wasn’t thinking about others, or giving, and left no change at the Salvation Army stand on her way out. Heading up further north, on that same Black Friday morning, there was the senseless (fatal) shooting outside of San Leandro’s Wal-Mart. Last but not least, in our own backyard, we have the break in that took place at an undisclosed Oakley elementary school. Although this senseless crime didn’t happen on Black Friday, it is sure to affect more people than Antioch’s Wal-Mart had shoppers on Black Friday.

The Friends Of Oakley’s stockpile of items – set to touch 800 children, 300 families, and 100 seniors with assistance during this holiday season – was stolen on November 29th from the school in which they were being stored. From this break in an estimated $4,000 worth of toys was stolen as well as donated blankets, jackets, and non-perishable food items that the Friends of Oakley cannot put a price tag on. Topping it off is the fact that Oakley had registered more families than ever before to be touched with Christmas packages – including toys, journals, pillows, Christmas dinner, scarves and other small items. This month’s article is about something much larger than real estate lending – it’s about giving. If you have any toys, or non-perishable food items, you can donate – no item or nor monetary contribution is too small – in hopes of saving Christmas for countless families it would truly be appreciated, by measures that you cannot measure. Donation bins are located throughout Oakley, at Pacific Funding Group’s Brentwood office, and more information can be found at http://friendsofoakley.webs.com. The Foundation President, and Oakley Mayor, Jim Frazier, can be reached at 925.250.6831. Remember, half of a person’s joy is the experiencing of another person’s joy; when you make someone happy, it makes you happy too. When you give, you’re both giving and receiving, which is far more rewarding than just receiving. As always, I welcome all questions and or concerns pertaining to real estate lending on my cell phone, 925-726-1444 or via email, tfreymortgages@yahoo.com.

New cancer treatment at Sutter Sutter Delta Medical Center is now offering an innovative outpatient procedure that can stop esophageal cancer before it starts, giving Barrett’s esophagus sufferers new hope. Barrett’s esophagus is a heartburn-related problem that damages the esophagus after repeated exposure to stomach acid. Barrett’s esophagus sufferers are 125 times more likely to develop cancer of the esophagus. “Regular exposure to stomach acid in the esophagus can lead to the development of mutant, intestinal-like tissue developing,� says gastroenterologist Dr. Ming Fang. “Barrett’s esophagus develops when these mutated cells form an abnormal growth of intestinal-type tissue in the esophagus, which is a serious precancerous condition that needs to be treated.� Sutter Delta recently acquired the HALO radiofrequency ablation system, which uses heated energy to remove a very thin layer of the diseased esophagus. Because HALO ablation therapy can be performed in a 35-45 minute outpatient procedure without incisions, a patient usually recovers with only minimal discomfort. According to a recent study in The New England Journal of Medicine, the HALO System was found to be highly effective at removing the precancerous cells associated with Barrett’s esophagus. “This is a very sophisticated and minimally invasive procedure that Sutter Delta and our highly trained specialists are now offering to the community,� said Sutter Delta CEO Gary Rapaport. “This procedure is especially important because esophagus cancer is on the rise in younger adults. Barrett’s esophagus is no longer a disease that affects only older adults.�

FireďŹ ghters and police wait outside the new Brentwood community center for a man who stood on the building’s roof for hours on Tuesday. He was talked down after three hours and sustained no injuries. As of press time, the motive for his actions is unknown.
Photo by Rick Lemyre
Standoff from page 3A worker who had challenged the man’s presence on the community center construction site across the street. The man ran away and out onto the roof and police were notified. Clad in only a T-shirt, jeans, sneakers and a baseball cap, the man stood with his feet together in the center of the pitched metal roof without moving for more than an hour, other than occasionally waving his arms. At one point, the man told a police negotiator atop ConFire Engine Q83’s ladder that he “was thinking about sleeping up there,� Evenson said. The man did not appear to be suicidal, he said, and officers decided to wait him out. After two hours, the man moved to a flatter part of the roof, sat down and pulled his arms inside his shirt against the cold. An hour later, just after 8 p.m., Capt. Dominic Ciotola of ConFire convinced the shivering man to come down. After climbing awkwardly down
the ladder, he was taken into custody without incident and transported to the County Hospital in Martinez for mental evaluation. City Councilman Steve Barr, who is also a commissioner on the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District board, observed the incident and said he was proud of the way the situation was handled. “It shows the professionalism of our fire department and police – the way they responded to what had the potential to be way more serious.� City Manager Paul Eldredge said the route the man took to the roof was being reviewed. The community center is expected to open in the spring. A crowd of about 50 braved cold temperatures to take in the spectacle. “Really!� said one woman passerby when informed what the commotion was about. “Well, this is new for Brentwood.� To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Outdoor Ed for Black Diamond Editor: My name is Spencer Reich. I am a sixth-grader at Black Diamond Middle School. I was disappointed that the students at our school did not get the opportunity to take part in the Outdoor Ed Program. Many of my friends who go to Dallas Ranch have signed up. I am writing this to ask the parents of the kids that go to Black Diamond to call our principal, Mr. Cooper, and let him know that you would like to have Outdoor Ed at our school. Mr. Cooper said that if we could get enough kids to go, he would try to make it happen. Please call today. Spencer Reich Antioch
Oakley’s broadcast brouhaha Editor: In the name of lack of transparency, there appears to be a movement brewing toward pushing the City of Oakley into broadcasting its council meetings via TV along with a live Internet feed and archives. Unfortunately, these rabblerousers are blowing this need out of proportion at the expense of other more urgent items. This claim floating around about a lack of transparency is amusing. Anyone can go down to city hall right this minute and request a copy of
TO THE
the council meetings that are recorded. Yes, the video quality stinks, but the audio quality is quite decent. Most importantly, it is available to anyone at any time. Nothing is being hidden from the public. A recent newspaper story entitled “Oakley Content To Keep Council Meetings Offline” provides details that of the 19 cities in Contra Costa, six don’t use Internet or TV. Crunch the numbers and Oakley is in the 32 percent not using Internet or TV. It’s not like Oakley is the only one not providing this convenience; it’s a rather high number of cities not meeting this request of a select few. Paul Seger was quoted recently in a newspaper article claiming, “It’s absolutely the best thing that the City Council can do if they want people to regain trust in them.” Mr. Seger videotapes council meetings. If he cares so much about transparency and regaining trust, why doesn’t he just donate his higher-end recordings to the city so they can reproduce them as copies or post them online? Mr. Seger could go a step further and just post his full recording online himself for all to view. Rather than complain, he should consider becoming part of the solution. The city attempted to provide broadcasts of its council meetings in 2008,
ward Winning News al A pa
EDITOR
according to a newspaper article. Unfortunately, it did not work to broadcasts standards. My question is: why is the city being attacked when the vendor, who is supposed to be an expert, is the one who provided sub-par equipment by the use of security cameras versus industry-standard broadcasting cameras? Rather than spending $20,000 on new equipment, the vendor should fix the problem at their expense so the taxpayer is not “double billed” on something that was promised in the first place. One solution that could be a win for Oakley is to take the recordings the city already provides and convert them to MP3 for download or online streaming after a meeting. Providing audio only would reduce picture-quality and zoom problems. This solution would promote immediate transparency to those complaining while allowing residents unable to attend the meetings with the opportunity to listen to the meeting at their convenience. To determine if there is a demand for actual live broadcasts, the city could review the audio figures to decide if a greater investment is needed. But to act on what a very small percentage wants is irrational and not a good use of city funds at the expense of more pressing needs. If it comes down to broadcast equipment versus public safety or other core
services, I would hope the city passes on the broadcast equipment any day of the week. If people are truly concerned about transparency and collecting information, they should make the effort to show up to a meeting in order to gather information and engage the council and city staff.

Thanks for coming to the rescue Editor: Thank you to all our wonderful Shanks Chevron customers. On Nov. 19, the house of our employee Rigo, who has been with us for four years as a cashier, burned to the ground – which left him, his parents and daughter basically homeless. We decided to take up a collection for him through donations at Chevron. The response we got from our regular customers and neighbors was unbelievable. Everyone’s generosity was just astounding. It’s nice to know, even in these bad economic times, that people are still willing to reach out and help. So again: thanks for all the donations. Kim Landreth Brentwood

Lions still stellar on the wrestling mat by Justin Lafferty Staff Writer Liberty High’s wrestling team hopes to continue its string of dominance over the Bay Valley Athletic League, but the Lions’ head coach knows it won’t be easy. Liberty lost several seniors to graduation, and squads from Heritage, Antioch and Freedom look poised to make a run at the league title. “The verdict’s still out,” said Lions head coach Greg Chappel. “We lost some really key people last year, so we’ve got to fill those holes. The kids are working hard and we’re going to see where things fall.” Liberty will, however, return some talented athletes from last year. Sophomore Devon Lyle, a BVAL champion as a freshman, will compete in the 113-pound class. Chappel is eager to see how Lyle will handle the transition from 103 to 113. State qualifier Xavier Johnson, a senior, will be a fixture of the 138-pound class. Chappel also sees big things from 126-pound junior Austin Solari and 132-pound senior Jake Thompson. Kevin Milner, a 152-pound senior, and Jake Gonzalez, a 145-pound junior, look to recover from injuries that cut short their previous seasons. Johnny Zanarini, a sophomore, will make the transition from the junior varsity team, wrestling for Liberty in the 120-pound class. Freedom Freedom returns several talented grapplers, including three state qualifiers: senior Gabe Tulchinski, sophomore Ricky Coster and senior Roman Garcia.

Daniel Ruiz, a senior, placed fifth in the North Coast Section last season and will be a part of the 147-pound class. But while Freedom’s core group remains solid, head coach John Parsons is still wondering who else will step up. “We’ve got a little mix of old and new and some high achievers and some ‘wanna-be’ers,’” Parsons said. “We’re just putting together a team.”
The Falcons must do without sophomore 103-pounder Clint Fredenburg, who broke both legs in a motorcycle accident. Parsons said Fredenburg was beginning to find his place in the varsity lineup, and that his absence will be felt by Freedom all year long. Parsons has been encouraged by the eagerness of the newer wrestlers, such as 103-pound freshman Austin Brown, who had never wrestled before this season, 152pound freshman Alex Bazan, 152-pound
sophomore Kyle Coccimiglio and sophomore 147-pounder Tauva Austin. Antioch The Panthers are led by first-year head coach Ben McCorriston, who graduated from Antioch in 2005. McCorriston makes up for lack of experience with intensity and work ethic. He wants the Panthers to scrape and claw for every inch this season. “What I want is for these kids to fight, see Stellar page 23A
Heritage takes aim on another playoff run by Michael Dixon Correspondent The Heritage girls soccer team entered the 2011 North Coast Section playoffs as the Bay Valley Athletic League champions and the No. 6 overall seed. The Patriots responded with a run to the semifinals culminating in a 1-0 loss in overtime to San Ramon Valley. This year, head coach Randy James has his team ready for a long run. While the Patriots lost some top players, notably Ari Gordon, they still boast a strong lineup. Seniors Kayla Hanojosa and Kaylie Moser join junior Jamie Baron as leaders on offense. James feels that his defense, led by sophomores Sarah Toelkes and a Haylee Grant, will help goalies Kaitlin Hoyle and Addison Orloff keep balls out of the Heritage net. “The group that’s coming in is as good,
at times even better, than what we had last year,” James said. “I haven’t seen enough from us or from the other teams to make a big prediction. We’re trying to get better each day, each game, focusing on what we can control.” James expects the Patriots’ strong group of defenders to be what carries them this year, and said they need to improve at creating opportunities and scoring goals. “This is a pretty good group that likes to be around each other,” James added. “That doesn’t happen all the time when you get teams and put the mix of players around each other. They like doing things together; not just practice and games.” Liberty Heritage’s league title ended Liberty’s see Playoff page 24A

DB kid gets early start on dirt track by Michael Dixon Staff Writer
You might not see it at first glance, but Hunter Cross stands out from other 8-year-old kids. Not many thirdgraders at Discovery Bay Elementary School share his need for speed. Hunter got into racing by taking the driver’s seat in a go-kart. He found that racing go-karts was difficult, as they all run at more or less the same speed. That’s when he turned his attention to dirt bikes, which is where his focus has been for two and a half years. “You couldn’t race,” Hunter said. “It (dirt biking) was funner. There was jumps and stuff. It was pretty cool.” Depending on which series he’s racing in, Hunter spends most of his time racing against kids between 10 and 12, sometimes even 14 and 15. His mother, Kari, likes his chances at developing in the sport, as all those kids will be forced to move to higher levels, while Hunter will stay where he’s at and be far more experienced than kids of his own age when they get there. His experience in the sport has been largely local, although some of those events are bigger, national events. From here, he hopes to gain more sponsors and take his love of the sport to events held throughout the country. “He wants to grow with people sponsoring him,” Kari said. “He’s made some friends who are older, so he’s gotten some experience. The next step is to travel to national events. We’ve done some local, national events. Next year we hope to go to bigger ones. We need sponsors.” Hunter’s experience hasn’t come without drawbacks. He got into the dirt biking two and half years ago, but a year of that was spent rehabilitating a leg broken during

practice. “He was warming up a bike,” Kari said. “It was a little fall, but he fell the right way. It’s actually kind of funny. He’s had these spectacular crashes and was fine. It’s the little, silly crashes when he gets hurt.” At some point, the goal is for Hunter to turn professional – but his goals are even more ambitious than that.
2010
“I’m hoping to be one of the best dirt bikers ever,” Hunter said. “I just keep on trying my best. I want to improve more and more each day. It’s pretty fun for people to try who have never done it before. It’s really fun.” To keep track of Hunter and his races, log on to www.hunter71.wordpress.com. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Outlaws will return The Outlaws will ride into town again in 2012. The tour of professional sprint car drivers, nationally renowned for exciting highspeed competition, drew the largest crowds this past season at Oval Motorsports’ Merced and Antioch speedways. Using roof wings for down force to control 600-horsepower engines sitting on frames with large tires, the cars are the fastest racers on dirt. The Antioch Speedway hosts the event on Sept. 10, 2012. “These races are our premier events of the season,” said Oval Motorsports President John Soares. “There has been a steady stream of communication from race fans begging for us to bring the shows back this year.” Tickets are on sale at www.dirtcar.ticketforce.com. A free pit pass for the Merced event – scheduled for March 30, 2012 – is offered with each purchase of an advance reserved ticket. Soares has already begun preparing the two clay ovals for the event. The most noticeable changes are at Merced Speedway, where light poles and walls are being moved in order to widen the track to 70 feet. “Merced Speedway will continue to evolve into the top dirt track in California,” Soares said. “We have four trucks running all day, hauling in clay to build the new surface.” The track will feature an infield devoid of obstacles. Its width will allow for more sideby-side racing and passing. “It will be a driver’s track,” Soares said. “It will be wider and ‘racier,’ as they say. The World of Outlaws will be a better show than ever this coming March.” Antioch Speedway, the pride of Oval Motorsports, Inc., received a face lift for this past September’s World of Outlaws competition. Sprint car drivers raved about its surface, which provided fans with a thrilling main event. Steve Kinser, the World of Outlaws’ franchise driver boasting nearly 600 wins, brought the fans to their feet at Antioch in September

World of Outlaws legend Steve Kinser celebrates his victory at Antioch Speedway earlier this year. The sprint car series will return to East County in 2012. as he won the first time running there. “This track is perfect. I can’t complain about a thing,” said Kinser in victory lane. “We were able to set up and run like we had run here before.” Second-place finisher Kyle Larson of Elk Grove, an Antioch Speedway veteran, also praised the track. “The track was better than ever,” Larson said. “You could run high or run low. It made for great racing. I almost had Steve (Kinser).” The Oval Motorsports tracks will run continuously through the 2012 season. Merced Speedway will be in operation on Friday nights and Antioch Speedway on Saturday nights. The season’s schedule and the classes of cars being raced will be released soon. – Courtesy of Mike Adaskaveg

ABCs from page 1B Of course, the most important letter in the list might just be “L,” standing not only for “latte” but for “local.” Remember that a dollar spent locally helps keep public services funded and your neighbors employed, to say nothing of the money and aggravation saved by staying off the highway.
