The East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) has found cyanobacteria, or blooming blue-green algae, in the waters of Big Break Regional Shoreline in Oakley, and is advising visitors and their pets to avoid contact with the water.

Cyanobacteria looks like scum floating in or on the water and is potentially dangerous to people and their pets. Signs have been posted in the area, and Mike Moran, supervising naturalist at Big Break, wants people to heed the posted warnings.

“We want folks to be aware of (the toxins) and really practice caution,” Moran said. “Because conditions change often, we are always testing. Levels can change from week to week, and our most recent tests showed levels of toxic development. We have put up

East County election races heat up While the national battle between presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is hotly contested, several races closer to home are also shaping up to be tight races. The election is slated for Tuesday, Nov. 8.

Oakley City Council Nine candidates, including incumbents Kevin Romick and Doug Hardcastle, are vying for three open seats. Current Councilwoman Vanessa Perry will not seek reelection. Aside from Romick and Hardcastle, the candidates include civil engineer Bruno Korbmacher, retired teacher Paul Seger, environmen-

tal health and safety specialist Michael Dupray, accountant and tax auditor Stephen DeMarco, grief mentor Randi Adler, community volunteer Claire Alaura and electrician Dezi Pina.

Brentwood City Council Brentwood Mayor Bob Taylor will run unopposed for his fourth term in November, while the race for two open seats on the city coun-

cil might not be so easy.

The battle to replace council members Erick S t o n eb a rg e r and Gene Clare, who have opted to not run again, will be between current planning commissioners John Fink and Claudette Staton, businessman Mark Stoiber, music executive Robert (Leo) Rodgers and community volunteer Karen Rarey.

Incumbents Bill Pease and Mark Simon will be challenged by business owner Bill Mayer and nursing home administrator Marianne B. Wiesen.

Antioch City Council The race for mayor will feature incumbent Wade Harper in competition with realtor and current Councilmember Lori Ogorchock, doctor and chamber manager Sean Wright, as well as application programs manager Gilbert “Gil” Murillo. Equally

City takes ownership of land parcel

by Corey Hunt Correspondent

City officials are looking over their options after a large chunk of property was donated for public use in Oakley, possibly setting the stage for an expanded future discussion about what to do with it.

A local family and an out-of-town associate, who together decided they no longer want the 16.62-acre parcel and would like to see it molded into something that can benefit the community, tabled the generous offer. As it stands, the property is not listed under a formal address – it is located to the north of the BNSF rail line right-of-way and west of Rose Avenue. Up until now, it had served as a drainage basin for the area and has largely been left alone.

City officials believe with some improvements and landscaping, it has the potential to provide recreation and leisure that could expand Oakley’s scenic side.

A local family and out-of-town associate have donated a 16.62-acre parcel to the City of Oakley. The property is located north of the BNSF rail line.

“While the primary use of the property would likely continue as a drainage basin, portions may be used for other public purposes, such as a right-of-way

for a park,” said City Manager Bryan Montgomery, who authored and submitted the acceptance ordinance for the property to the city council last week.

Receipt of the parcel came at no cost or obligation to Oakley taxpayers, although Montgomery did state in a letter to council it would likely require, in its present state, minor annual upkeep fees of less than $1,000. City maps currently have it zoned as a parcel earmarked for light industrial purposes, a designation that can be altered under the right circumstances.

In the past, land parcels acquired by the city have come up to launch major projects that cater to certain needs.

One such example was in 2014, when a grassroots movement that wanted to bring the practice of community gardening to Oakley convinced councilmembers to lease a portion of the city’s dusty and unused Moura Property, near O’Hara Park Middle School, to them for a minimal fee under certain conditions. The gardeners later negotiated a deal to move their plots to Creekside Park in another area of town.

Boys Ranch carves new life into sign

by Amy Schrader

The Byron Boys Ranch finished a project that gives new life to Knightsen Fire Station 94’s sign, which honors former Fire Chief Robert V. Pastor. The original shown at left and the new sign below.

Correspondent

When the Robert V. Pastor Fire Station 94 in Knightsen reopened its doors in July, several community members and firefighters noticed aspects of the facility was looking a little worn – especially its well-worn sign.

Knightsen resident John Gonzales, who was behind the project that created the sign 10 years ago, knew it had to be fixed. So Gonzales called the Byron Boys Ranch – who made the first sign – for a little help.

“I was very thankful for the boys ranch when they partnered up with the fire district to honor the community fire station the first time,” said Gonzales. “I hoped they would help us again.”

Gonzales called Mike Fox, the Boys Ranch woodshop teacher, who immediately took on the project. Shortly after, a fire truck delivered the worn sign to the ranch, for the boys to begin the monthlong project.

“Connecting to the community is a big part of what we are all about,” said Fox. “One of our big goals is to get the boys more involved in the community.”

The students, ages 14 to 18, spent many hours sanding, painting, sanding again and finishing the sign off with a clear-coat finish.

“Some of my guys have never held a hammer or a screwdriver, so for them

to be able to work on a project like this, and do something constructive instead of destructive, helps them appreciate that they’re able to do something for the community,” said Fox. Aside from the fire station sign, other projects the boys create are the table centerpiece displays for the annual Contra Costa County Teacher of the Year Award ceremony. Each teacher who receives an award gets to bring home one of the centerpieces.

“Projects like this help the boys learn teamwork, pride in their work and life skills,” said Fox. The boys’ hard work is greatly appre-

Girl hoopsters take on the Oakley Police Department

by Amy Schrader Correspondent

When Oakley’s new, city-run police department was asked to play a game of hoops with a girls’ youth basketball league the response was simple; yes!

“We were excited and thought it was a great idea,” said Oakley Officer Kevin Morris, who is also president of the Police Officer Association. “We jumped at the opportunity.”

The game, which was the department’s first public event, took place on Aug. 18, at the O’Hara Park Middle School gym, and was attended by friends and family of the players, as well as Oakley Police Chief Thorsen and Oakley Mayor Kevin Romick.

Monica Borrego, owner of MAB TShirts and Athletic Apparel organized the event for the Falcons Basketball MAB Summer Youth Program, which she started.

The program was a 12-week, basketball-fundamentals training program for girls going into fourth through eighth grades. Attendees paid only $20 to participate in the program, which was intended to not only teach basketball skills, but also to build a connection between girls in the community.

“What I liked most about the program was that I got to meet new friends

and practice my basketball skills,” said Andrea Gomez, age 13. “I was really excited to play against police officers and hoped we would win.”

The night of the main event, Borrego addressed the crowd of attendees.

“One main point the girls learned is to put all of our differences aside and focus on basketball, while helping our new friends,” she said. “Tonight, we are taking all of that and going a step further within our community. We are going to be playing with our new Oakley police officers.”

After Romick tipped off the event, the contests began with a free throw contest, a half-court contest and the game, which was between teams that had a mix of both police officers and girls.

The event also garnered support from the community, including MAB TShirts and Athletic Apparel, Yogurt Island in Oakley, New York Life Insurance in Stockton, Mark’s Artisan Bread, Intero Real Estate Services, One Toyota of Oakland, Wingstop in Brentwood, Round Table Pizza, Krispy Kreme in Brentwood and the Contra Costa Transportation Authority. Each player and officer received a bag full of goodies from sponsors.

“Kudos to Monica Borrego and her volunteers for setting up the program and engaging the Oakley Police Department,” said Romick. “The fact that the officers

Fanta Jimissa and Officer Ordonez race to the hoop during a recent game. who participated in the basketball game did so on their own time is simply a reflection on the quality of people we have kept and recruited in our police force.”

Borrego plans on running another

basketball youth league next summer, which will be open to both boys and girls.

“This was a phenomenal event for the community,” she said.

Brentwood police arrest robbery suspect William Lear, 45, of Bethel Island, has been arrested in connection with a number of attempted robberies and one successful bank robbery in the Brentwood and Oakley areas.

Lear was booked into the Martinez County Jail on Aug. 20, and his bail has been set at $100,000.

On Aug. 11, the suspect arrived at the Fremont Bank in Brentwood, in obvious disguise. The bank employees denied the subject entry into the bank for fear he was going to rob them. On Aug. 12, the same subject returned to the same bank and was spotted prior to attempting entry, so he fled on foot and evaded capture. On Aug. 17, Lear entered the Chase Bank in Oakley using a walker as a prop, in addition to his disguise, and attempted to rob that bank.

The employees, who were protected by ballistic glass, refused to comply and pointed toward the exit. The subject then left the bank and was not located. Brentwood and Oakley officers exchanged information, in addition to networking with surrounding Bay Area agencies, in an attempt to locate the subject and his vehicle.

On Aug. 19, Lear entered the BAC Community Bank on Balfour Road in Brentwood, produced what was reported to be a handgun and successfully robbed the bank of an undisclosed amount of cash. On Aug. 20, an off-duty Fremont po-

William Lear, 45, of Bethel Island was arrested on charges of robbery and attempted robbery at banks in Brentwood and Oakley. lice officer spotted the suspect’s vehicle in the McDonald’s parking lot on Brentwood Blvd. He immediately notified Brentwood officers, and the vehicle was stopped on Horne Court in Brentwood.

Evidence associated with the incidents was collected at the scene, and Lear

was taken into custody without incident.

Brentwood detectives conducted a search of Lear’s residence and collected additional evidence connecting him to all four incidents.

The Brentwood Police Department would like to publicly thank the off-duty

Fremont police officer for his heightened sense of awareness and willingness to take the initiative and report his observations. Without this combined effort, Lear may have been free to commit additional robberies.

Seen in Canada WILL HOME AUTOMATION INCREASE VALUE? One of my relatives was an automobile mechanic before he retired, and he said he went from turning wrenches to having to deal with computer-control systems in cars all day. Homes may be headed that way, due the plethora of home automation options coming down the pike.

Lighting-control systems let you set what lights come on and when. You can lock and unlock doors from your smartphone.

We are all familiar with a programmable thermostat for your HVAC system, but they have new ones that can detect WHO enters the home by the smartphone they are carrying, and adjust the HVAC based on that person’s preferences (they can set priority when more than one person is home). They even have a refrigerator that detects when you are out of milk and places an order for it to be delivered to your home.

Neat stuff, but will it raise the value of your home? I believe it does, but usually much less than the cost of the system

itself. So if YOU want all these gadgets in your home and you will enjoy them and can afford them, go for it. If you spend $20,000 on all these systems, but then need to sell your home right after, you will not get $20,000 more for the home when you sell. It’s possible you’ll find a buyer who was planning to do all these things anyways and is willing to pay a pretty penny for it, but I would say that will be the rare situation - at least for now. Once the majority of homes have these systems, and they are expected, then you’ll get more for them. (More accurately, if your home doesn’t have them, you’ll get less for it.)

If you have questions on this or any other real-estate topic, call 925)-240-MOVE (6683). #1 for Brentwood listings sold 11 out of last 14 years. To search the MLS for free and view virtual tours of homes for sale, visit www.SharpHomesOnline.com. Sharp Realty.

This summer marks the one-year anniversary of downtown Brentwood’s neighborhood bar, 311 Oak Street Pub, and the owners of the establishment say the pub has been everything they dreamed of and more.

“We are so proud that we turned the bar into a local stop that people in Brentwood call their go-to spot,” said owner Stephanie Nazzisi. “It’s a place where friends come together, and we love that.”

Brentwood resident Deanna Otero has visited the pub with both large groups of friends and her husband for a fun night out.

“There’s a great vibe as soon as you walk in,” said Otero. “The bartenders are awesome, the service is fast and I like that the crowd is a mix of friends and couples.”

The pub has become a favorite spot for its drinks from the bar, which includes eight beers on tap and a wine list. It has also gathered a following for its food – far from what you’d expect from a bar – and has attracted patrons from all over the

Bay Area.

“It’s really good restaurant food at a bar,” said San Jose resident Joe Reghitto.

“Their chef takes the place over the top.

He has great culinary ideas and a huge personality.”

311’s Executive Chef and Manager Chad Wikstrom, attended the International Culinary Center in San Jose. Wikstrom creates weekly specials using local produce and is known to put a spin on classic favorites.

“Now that football season is coming, we will offer kicked-up bar food and will be serving it later at night for those that want to eat during the game,” said Wikstrom.

According to Nazzisi, they also hope to use the historic brick bread and pizza oven in the future. The building was originally Brentwood’s first bakery, which made bread and pizza for the historic Brentwood Hotel, owned by the Balfour-Guthrie Company. The original wood paddle for retrieving bread and pizzas from the oven is hanging on the wall of the bar.

Besides great food, 311 has plenty of activities to keep guests busy. From a

LHS Playmakers’ production of “Letters to Sala,” by Arlene Hutton is based upon the biography “Sala’s Gift: My Mother’s Holocaust Story,” by Ann Kirschner. “Sala’s Gift” chronicles her mother’s experiences in the Holocaust based upon a collection of letters and photographs that Sala received while enslaved in Nazi labor camps.

Sala’s diary and the original letters are in the permanent collection of the Dorot Jewish Division of the New York Public Library. LHS will be hosting a traveling exhibit version of the collection while the play is in production. Thanks to a grant received from the LUHSD Education Foundation and resources from the LHS Teaching and Learning Careers Academy, the school is purchasing several class sets of the biography and the play, so teachers can create interdisciplinary curriculum to use for English, social science and theatre arts classes.

“Letters to Sala: A Young Woman’s Life in Nazi Labor Camps,” is a compelling collection of images of rare Holocaustera letters and photographs that have been part of The New York Public Library’s permanent collection since 2005. The exhibit will consist of images of items ranging from handwritten postcards to photographs to official documents that were saved at great personal risk by Sala Garncarz, from the time she entered a Nazi labor camp in 1940 at the age of 16, until her liberation in 1945. This provides an amazing first-hand look into the lives of Jewish prisoners in Nazi labor camps.

“The letters that comprise this exhibition are the true embodiment of how the written word can give life,” said curator Jill Vexler. “What emerges from the exhibition is an inspiring portrait of human resilience in the face of unthinkable atrocity.”

Sala Garncarz was living with her family in Sosnowiec, Poland, when Germany invaded in 1939. Sala was the youngest of 11 children and born to a poverty-stricken family. Sala volunteered to take her sister Raizel’s place at the camp, believing she

would find it harder to adapt. However, six weeks turned into five years of slavery for Sala; and, while conditions within the camps were disgraceful, written exchanges such as Sala’s letters were permitted because the camp’s administrators believed it boosted productivity and morale and also relieved the anxiety of those left at home.

The exhibit itself is an enlightening trip and display of the holocaust seen through the eyes of Jews going through labor camps or dealing with the German invasion. The performance of “Letters to Sala” allows the student performers and audience to connect with this real life story of heartache and horror.

Teen theater session coming up Brentwood Teen Theater, a premier young actor’s training program for participants ages 10 to 19, starts its next session Saturday, Sept. 3.

This session, taught by professional actor and director Steve Kinsella, who has called Brentwood home for the past 14 years, will feature the show “Music Man Junior.”

Kinsella has been a professional actor with Stars The Agency of San Francisco and Los Angeles for nearly 20 years. He values the individual’s experience and creates a nurturing environment where his students can thrive.

The resident choreographer of Brentwood teen theater is Shelley McDowell. She was last seen as Nancy in the production of “Oliver.”

McDowell has come full circle, as she began studying with Kinsella as a young actor herself. Past students of the program include Broadway stars, performers on national tours, plus

those in movies and television.

“The hardest thing I have to do is turn away people because a program is full,” said Kinsella. “Most cast sizes are what the script recommends. I do not (put) 100 kids on stage and think they’re all going to have a great experience, though that is sometimes the case in school shows. We have a very strong school program in Brentwood and the surrounding areas. I enjoy training leads in local shows and the kids who have gone through Brentwood Teen Theater.”

Brentwood Teen Theater utilizes different shows in training young actors in the performing arts. In a nurturing environment, students learn the ins and outs of stagecraft, including audition skills, singing, acting and dance.

Family Matters

by Silky Sahnan, esq.

Social Media for Complicated Families: A Simple Guide Like most things in life, social media enables both good and bad behavior. On the one hand, social media allows parents, siblings and other family members to keep in touch regularly.

On the negative side of things, social media can create tension and lead to legal consequences, such as child support disputes after one too many ‘luxury living’ Instagram posts Regardless, you’re much less likely to make such common social media mistakes if you have a good understanding of their potential consequences. Here is a guide that will walk you through the perplexing world of social media for complicated families.

What NOT to do: Posting negative comments about your former spouse.

It’s perfectly normal to be angry and even critical of your spouse’s decision-making during the divorce, but airing these concerns over social media is unacceptable. Moreover, Facebook pages are increasingly cited as evidence in divorce and custody-related hearings.

Tweeting about wild parties, drug usage and other questionable lifestyle choices.

You are allowed to have fun, but keep your

wilder nights off of social media. Especially on the nights you have custody of the children.

What to do: Sharing ‘divorce selfies’ The recent trend of divorce selfies gained traction after one former couple posted a smiling selfie leaving the courthouse with a caption that included, “And now that you know it’s possible - please consider our way if you find yourself on this road, or share our message if we can help remind them that it’s possible to love your kids more than you hate/distrust/dislike your ex.”

Keeping up with your children and other family members.

Remind your children that you care by frequently liking their posts and leaving positive, encouraging comments. You can also share their posts on your own page, tag them in status updates, and post old photographs to maintain strong bonds no matter what the custody arrangement might be.

As always, we encourage you to contact The Law Offices of Silky Sahnan for questions and advice regarding all aspects of family law. Schedule a free consultation today at 925-276-0789.

HEALTH & BEAUTY

Helping those who can’t help themselves The lightbulb is burned out on the ceiling fan, the screen on your kitchen window is torn, the battery in your smoke detector is out and the beeping every 20 seconds is driving you crazy.

At 5 foot 4 inches, I would need a ladder to fix any of Senior these things, not to orner mention the ability, which according to Grandpa is marginal at best for me. I am not mechanically inclined, to say the least.

Instead of climbing the Marla equivalent of Mt. Luckhardt Everest in my house, I yell for Grandpa. Although he is also not very tall, he is quite comfortable on that ladder. Not me; I get dizzy on a step stool.

I’m grateful for his help, but some people, who either live alone or don’t have someone in the home to do minor repairs, can now call someone to assist, free of charge. I heard about this program several years ago, but they did not come into our area at that time.

Now, these angels from the Local Rotary Club are perched and ready with toolbox in hand to help in making common household repairs that are no longer easy for some of us to do. Simple

C

things, like changing a light bulb for example, may be difficult for those with arthritis. The list includes, but is not limited to, replacing hard-to-reach light bulbs; changing the battery on that annoying smoke detector; adjusting handles or drawer pulls; resetting blown fuses; fixing doors; and many other small repairs.

According to their brochure, the Episcopal Senior Communities and the Rotary Home Team work in conjunction.

While dates may be subject to change, depending on availability and need, appointments are scheduled on the last Saturday of every other month, and a team of two will come to the home on every visit. The next date, as of now, is Sept. 24, and the one after will be scheduled for a Saturday in November. They will provide appropriate identification upon arrival and review the request with you before starting.

At that time, if there are other small items that need attention, you simply sign a waiver, and they will do their best to fix those as well. Just like grown-up Boy Scouts, the team is prepared with necessary batteries, screws and nails.

If the project is beyond their scope of expertise, they will refer you back to the senior resource director.

After the work is done and the friendly goodbyes are exchanged, they will provide a voluntary survey with an envelope for your feedback, in order to

assure quality and assist others in the future.

Annette Balter, director of senior resources for Contra Costa County, says the program started in 2009, with an idea from Hays Englehart of the Lamorinda Sunrise Rotary Club. It’s been a huge help to many seniors who are unable to do these handyman tasks themselves. The goal is to help people remain safely and independently in their homes for as long as they can.

It has been a tremendous success and has grown throughout many areas, but they are thrilled that it is now offered with the help of the local Brentwood Rotary Club. When I asked if she needed more volunteers, Balter says that joining the Rotary is a great way to serve the community, meet new people and share your skills with seniors in need of these minor repairs.

Roger Strauss, recent president of the Brentwood Rotary, says they are very excited to help local seniors this way. Strauss’ in-laws, who live nearby, have often been the recipients of his handyman skills, and helping others in this way is right up his alley. After meeting Engelhart, Strauss was sure that he and his fellow Rotarians would be happy to set this up here, as it is just a perfect addition to helping our senior community.

The old saying there is no such thing

“ … these angels from the Local Rotary Club are perched and ready with toolbox in hand to help in making common household repairs that are no longer easy for some of us to do.

Simple things like changing a light bulb, for example, may be difficult for those with arthritis.

”

as a free lunch is true most of the time, but in this case, there is no catch. It’s free to seniors over 60, and they try to accommodate as many as possible on the scheduled days. You can visit their website at www.rotaryhometeam.com or call them at 1-888-204-5573.

Now there is kind and qualified help without the financial burden, and for that, I say bravo!

How dogs benefit from daily walks

a backyard. Left alone in a backyard, they may briefly play before plopping down in the grass and enjoying the fresh air. That’s not enough exercise for many breeds, and it’s certainly insufficient for overweight or obese dogs. Nightly walks can help them lose and maintain healthy weights. The AHA notes that such walks also help dogs build strength and endurance.

Stimulation: According to the American Kennel Club (www.akc.org), dogs need both physical and mental stimulation to stay healthy and happy. Walks obviously provide physical stimulation, but they can also be mentally stimulating. Dogs often interrupt walks when their curiosity gets the better of them, stopping to observe or investigate something – that’s mentally stimulating.

Resist the temptation to pull the leash when Fido wants to check something out, affording him a little time to do some mental exploration before continuing the walk.

Dog owners may think their furry friends are getting all they need during their nightly exercise sessions in the backyard.

While such yards provide safe places for dogs to relax and run around, the American Humane Association (AHA) (www.americanhumane.org) notes that even dogs who run wild in their backyards each day can benefit from daily walks. The following are a handful of ways dogs benefit from daily walks.

Socialization: The Animal Humane Society (AHS) (www.animalhumanesociety.org) notes that puppies between 3 and 20 weeks old are generally accepting of other dogs, and nightly walks can provide the perfect opportunity for puppy owners to acquaint their furry friends with other dogs. Continued exposure after 20 weeks can help further the socialization process for young pups.

Behavior: Daily walks can help owners instill better behavior in their pets. The AHS advises that owners of older dogs use walks as opportunities to reinforce calm behavior in public. For puppies, walks are a great opportunity for socialization. Bring treats to reward pups for sitting quietly when encountering other dogs and new people along the walk.

Exercise: Daily walks provide great exercise for dogs who would not find the same kind of stimulation simply wandering around

Brentwood seeks funds for Highway 4 cameras Staff Writer

The installation of surveillance cameras along California Highway 4 in Pittsburg provides a snapshot of the possible future of Brentwood.

Inspired by its neighbors, the Brentwood City Council recently expressed interest in installing cameras along the highway in Brentwood, possibly near Sand Creek and Balfour roads.

“We are initiating a new, license-plate reader program here, so I thought why don’t we try to incorporate (highway cameras) at the same time,” said Brentwood Mayor Bob Taylor.

A rash of shootings along Highway 4 prompted Pittsburg officials to erect surveillance equipment along the roadway. More than a dozen surveillance and license platereading devices have been installed since June. The Bay Area Rapid Transit agency also plans to install its own cameras along Highway 4. BART operates stations in Pittsburg and will soon open an eBART station in Antioch.

There is a chance that Brentwood could garner regional transportation funds for the project, Taylor said.

The East Contra Costa Regional Fee and Financing Authority Board (ECCRFFA), which Taylor sits on, granted Pittsburg $100,000 for its project. ECCRFFA – composed of Contra Costa County and the

“ We are initiating a new, license-plate reader program here, so I thought why don’t we try to incorporate (highway cameras) at the same time.

”

Brentwood Mayor Bob Taylor cities of Antioch, Oakley, Brentwood and Pittsburg – collects developer fees, which then are allocated to transportation-related projects.

“I wanted to plant the seed and go back to ECCRFFA and kind of let them know (that Brentwood is interested in cameras as well),” said Taylor, who added that the license plate-reading cameras in Pittsburg netted 32 hits in the first 24 hours.

Brentwood Police Chief Mark Evenson recommended that the city install license plate-reading cameras, since surveillance devices would require additional infrastructure. If the cameras were installed, they’d likely be placed along Highway 4 near Sand Creek Road and up to Lone Tree Way. The cost of the installation is unknown, Evenson said.

Council members see potential in Taylor’s suggestion.

Councilman Gene Clare, who agreed the city should explore the proposal, said it might be wise to wait until after a similar city project is completed. That project calls for the city to install license plate-reading

cameras at four city intersections, as well as utilize a camera-equipped, mobile trailer stationed at rotating locations by October.

The department has used four cameraequipped patrol vehicles since July.

“I think it would be helpful to me to see what benefit we are getting now and what the data (are) showing us before we move forward,” Clare said, alluding to the mounted cameras that will capture color photos of vehicles and license plates as they

pass through Walnut Boulevard north of Armstrong Way, Sand Creek Road west of The Streets of Brentwood Shopping Center, Brentwood Boulevard near the police department and Brentwood Boulevard south of Hanson Lane.

Fellow Councilman Steve Barr suggested that various agencies band together to install freeway cameras across the region.

“I think we need to at least express interest that we would be a participant and be interested in a more regional approach, instead of a city-by-city approach,” he said.

The city expects to analyze data from its own cameras in the fall to gauge their effectiveness. In the meantime, Taylor said he’d continue lobbying for funds for the city.

“They gave Pittsburg money,” Taylor said. “If we follow through, they should help us out with funds for Brentwood.”

DUI checkpoint announced The Contra Costa Area office of the California Highway Patrol will be conducting another sobriety checkpoint on Friday, Aug. 26, in an unincorporated area of Martinez.

This safety event will be conducted from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. Traffic volume permitting, all vehicles will be checked, and drivers who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs can expect to

be arrested. In addition, officers will conduct driver’s license checks on motorists stopped at the checkpoint.

The event is part of the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign.

Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Walking out of the dark On Oct. 8, hundreds of people will come together for the second-annual Out of the Darkness Community Walk in Oakley.

The walk will take place at Cypress Grove Community Park, located at 4001 Frank Hengel Way. Registration will begin at 8 a.m., and the opening ceremony and walk will start at 9 a.m.

The inaugural Oakley Out of the Darkness Walk had more than 800 people in attendance and raised more than $40,000.

“I walk to help bring awareness for those who suffer in silence, so that they know they are not alone and that it is okay to ask for help,” said Erin Pina.

The walk was first brought to East Contra Costa County after a group of community members realized there had been a significant increase in suicides in Oakley and the surrounding areas. The goal is to showcase community support and to help lower those numbers.

“The goal of bringing this walk to our community is to show others that they are not alone, both in their loss and in their own struggles with mental illness,” said Vanessa Perry, Oakley City Council member and chair for the event. “We want to come together and let everyone know that they do not have to suffer alone, there are many of us who have similar experiences.”

Out of the Darkness Community Walks are fundraising walks supporting the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. There are more than 360 Out of the Darkness Community Walks taking place throughout the US this fall. Funds will support vital research, education, advocacy, suicide prevention initiatives and programs to support those impacted by suicide. AFSP’s goal is to reduce the annual rate of suicide by 20 percent by 2025.

Registration is free. For more information, visit https://afsp.org/oakley or email oakleyafspwalk@gmail.com.

Once again, the Antioch Schools Education Foundation (ASEF) will be hosting a dinner event to recognize exemplary teachers within the Antioch Unified School District (AUSD), who are committed to and passionate about the education of their students.

The Mary Allan Fellows Award dinner, named for Mary Allan, the 2001 California Teacher of the Year, will be on Tuesday, Sept. 20, from 5 to 7 p.m., at the Lone Tree Golf & Event Center. This year’s inspirational speaker is Shannan Brown, the 2011 California Teacher of the Year.

The following are this year’s honorees: FELLOWS Vicki McGuire, fifth grade, Sutter Elementary (AUSD TOY) Tami Rudden, preschool SDC, Belshaw Elementary Shira Sweitzer, ninth grade English and peer advocacy, Antioch High Lori Tanner, fifth grade, Orchard Park K-8 FINALISTS Leslie Adams, third grade, Sutter Elementary Kevin Landski, sixth grade English and history, Dallas Ranch Middle Anne Swatzell, 10th grade, AP English, Antioch High

The foundation is counting on those individuals who value education to support this once-a-year fundraiser with a sponsorship, but most important is attendance at this dinner. Seats are $50 each, and proceeds help the ASEF purchase innovative programs, technology, other school supplies, equipment and field trips for students within the AUSD. These are items that are often in very short supply due to the state’s persistent financial problems.

The support of the Mary Allan Fellows Award dinner event is greatly appreciated by the ASEF and those who have built a career in the teaching profession. The students, their welfare and their ultimate ability to succeed are common goals.

It’s pretty hard to miss the increased presence of abandoned shopping carts throughout the city. Fortunately, a recent ordinance change adopted by the city council will allow code enforcement to address these abandoned carts in a more expeditious manner. Please don’t hesitate to report the location of any abandoned carts you see.

It’s anticipated the new ordinance will encourage greater loss prevention and voluntary retrieval of these carts found off the store property premises.

With fall approaching and school back in session, many residents are organizing their homes and preparing for the rainy season. One result of this action might be the need for an additional trash pickup. Oakley residents are permitted two additional pickups each calendar year. Oakley Disposal will collect up to a dozen 32-gallon bags or 12 boxes of household garbage or yard waste, weighing no more than 50 pounds each. No hazardous material, paint, dirt, rocks or concrete are permitted, nor is furniture, carpet, appliances or e-waste. The city encourages you to take advantage of this additional benefit. You may not roll over any unused pickups to the next year.

Remember, you are the city’s eyes and ears, and code enforcement can’t be everywhere at once. The city encourages you to use the new tools above to help keep Oakley a great place for families. Again, all reports are anonymous.

Some effective online tools have increased Oakley Code Enforcement’s ability to address nuisances affecting the quality of life for both Oakley residents and business owners.

These two web-based tools allow residents to report possible violations and safety concerns via the city’s website or smartphone app called Oakley OnDemand (search GORequest). The app allows you to select among many common violations or concerns and report them all anonymously.

Oakley OnDemand is a web tool within the City of Oakley website that allows you to report an issue, ask a question or make a complaint or compliment. It’s extremely user friendly and will provide you with a case tracking number and date for follow-up.

Don’t worry if you can’t determine the topic or issue; just report it, and the city will figure out where to assign the case. If you include contact information, a definitive answer to your concern or question will be provided.

On the city’s main webpage you can click on “Report a Concern,” or it can be accessed at www.ci.oakley. ca.us/ondemand-faqs/. Scroll down to the bottom and select the icon labeled “Submit Request.”

The second tool is an app for your smart phone, called GORequest My Town. The app is even easier, as you can take a picture and submit your concern right on the spot. It uses your location to indentify where the violation is occurring. The whole process should take less than a minute and you’ll be provided an issue number and email acknowledgement of your

Editor: I am always astounded and angered by how narrow-minded bigots are able to use lies, half-truths and innuendo to try to push their bigotry off on the public.

Case in point: A letter from Francine Huerta in the Aug. 19 edition of the Brentwood Press. I am dismayed The Press would even print such trash.

Taken as a whole, the letter from Ms. Huerta is nothing big a diatribe against gay, bi, lesbian and transgender people.

Her facts are incorrect, and her bias is blatantly obvious.

Point one: Prop 8, as passed by voters in 2008, was so obviously flawed that it’s being ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the US was a foregone conclusion. Prop 8 never would have passed had it not been for a multimillion dollar media campaign and smokescreen, financed almost entirely by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (the Mormon church). The money shipped in from Salt Lake City paid for a huge, ugly, anti-civil rights campaign, the likes of which had never been seen in California before. Votes for Prop 8 were not ‘just thrown aside,’ the Supreme Court ruled that the law as written was unconstitutional. That is their job, and they did it properly in this case.

Point two: Ms. Huereta implies that the DSM-5 diagnosis is to be applied to all gay, bi, lesbian and transgender individuals. However, DSM-5 only applies to people who show a gender-identity issue. It does not include homosexual men, lesbian women or bisexual individuals at all.

Tom Torlakson is doing the right thing. The best way to eliminate this ugly type of bigotry and prejudice in our communities is to properly educate our children about all kinds of people, regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual identity or a whole host of characteristics.

It is disgusting to me that this kind of

Awards night a success

Editor: In May of this year, Heritage High School (HHS) held its Local Scholarship Awards Night.

This event honored 118 seniors and awarded a total of $60,000 dollars in scholarships. These students were recognized for their academics, community service and participation in clubs, activities and sports. The success of the Scholarship Night is due to the community of Brentwood, Heritage clubs and activities and their overwhelming generosity and pride. On behalf of the senior class of 2016 and the Heritage HS Local Scholarship committee, we would like to thank the following community donors: Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Andrew Ortega’s family, Antioch Education Association, Brentwood Arts Society, Brentwood Dentistry Dental Group, Brentwood Elementary Parents Club, Brentwood Lions Club, Brentwood Men’s Club, Brentwood PAL, Brentwood Press, Brentwood Rotary, Brentwood Teachers Association, Brentwood Theater Company, California School Employee Association, Delta Advocacy Foundation – Bob Smith Memorial, Delta Informal Gardeners, Sloan M.

We would also like to recognize and thank the Heritage Athletic Boosters, Patriot Parents Organization, Rising Stars Boosters, HHS sports teams and clubs for their generous donations and support that they provide to the Local Scholarship program and our Patriots throughout the school year.

Fireworks not to be tolerated

Editor: As a follow up to our efforts to educate and curtail the use of fireworks in Oakley, shortly after the fourth of July, I posted a letter seeking residents’ assistance in identifying those who may be setting off fireworks in their neighborhoods.

We received some very positive comments about our efforts and more than 20 emails from residents that anonymously provided addresses of potential violators.

As part of our action plan, residents living at these addresses who are suspected of fireworks use will receive a direct contact from the Oakley Police Department. These residents will be reminded that all types of fireworks are illegal in Oakley, and that we have identified their address as a location where fireworks may have been set off in the past. The department will emphasize our zero tolerance and that additional enforcement will be conducted during the celebratory holidays - specifically at and near the addresses that have been identified. We are hopeful that this preventative measure will have a positive impact.

We continue to seek your input and any information regarding who might be setting off fireworks in Oakley at www. ci.oakley.ca.us/report-illegal-fireworks/.

You can remain anonymous. We strongly feel that focusing on prevention will reduce the problem and free up resources for direct and aggressive enforcement for those who continue to violate the law.

Thank you again for your help and cooperation as we work to address this serious problem.

Mayor Kevin Romick Oakley

Local reader confused about issues

Editor: It seems (Francine Huerta is) confused on what the definition of gender identity means, versus the history and science behind the LGBTQIA community.

Gender identity (disorder is) the distress a person experiences with having a desire to be the opposite gender to which they were born. The distress from not feeling you belong to your gender is what makes this a disorder. There are a few other factual issues with your statement as well.

I am proud that our schools will be educating the future generations on acceptance. I hope in the future you can broaden your education and become more open minded. Share the love, not hate.

Patriots look to dominate on court

by Michael Dixon Correspondent

For the first time in a while, Heritage’s girls’ tennis team does not enter the upcoming season as the clear Bay Valley Athletic League favorite.

Many of the experienced players who have dominated league play in recent years are now graduated, leaving the Patriots with a young, inexperienced core.

The current single’s lineup is varied.

Three of the singles players – sophomore Kassy Cho (No. 1), junior Michelle Cereda (No. 2) and junior Ashley Gildersleeve (No. 4) – have varsity experience from 2015. The other three – sophomores Claribel Charway (No. 3), Morgan McNamara (No. 5) and Kaitlyn Hill (No. 6) – are coming up from junior varsity action.

“All of our newcomers in the starting lineup are going to be challenged this year to see if they can play outside their comfort zone,” coach Ed Dong said. “That’s the key to their success right now. We feel that we will have some bumps along the way.”

The doubles lineup is a little more experienced. The senior team of Meredith Muller and Alexandra Bibby starts the season atop the doubles chart. While neither played extensively as juniors, both started as sophomores.

The No. 2 doubles team is also made up of seniors, Julia McMindes and Gabriella Cachola, both of whom started in 2015. Juniors Ricka Balingit and Mia Fabricante round out the doubles lineup.

The Patriots began their schedule on a match against the always-strong Cal High team. The BVAL season opens up on Sept.

22. Until league play begins, Heritage’s players and coaches will be working extensively to straighten things out.

“Last week was tryouts,” Dong said.

“We’re going to be running drills to tweak their games a little and clean it up a little bit.

That’s the challenge. We have is to clean it up

Senior Julia McMindes figures to provide senior leadership for a young Patriots’ squad this season.

and move forward.”

In the past, the Patriots haven’t relied extensively on dominant players. Instead, Heritage was dependent on their team depth to win league matches. In 2015, for example, the Patriots were 10-0 in league matches. Seven of those wins were 9-0 sweeps, while the other three were 8-1.

With a young team, Dong doesn’t expect the matches to be lopsided. With that, more pressure will be on each player if the team is to win its matches.

“A lot of matches are going to be close and we’ll see what happens,” Dong added.

“We expect a lot of close matches, 4-5s, 5-4s and maybe a 6-3 on occasion. This year, it’s kind of evened out, and we’ll see who wants it. It’s up for grabs.”

The Patriots open league play on Sept.

22 against Antioch. Before that will come the Freedom Invitational on Sept. 9 and 10, which not only brings in elite players from the area, but also often provides a sneak preview for league play.

Football returns to East County The 2016 high school football season kicks off with a full slate of action, on Aug. 26.

Four of six Bay Valley Athletic League squads will begin their seasons at home, including Freedom, Liberty, Antioch and Pittsburg.

Liberty, just one win shy of reaching the North Coast Section playoffs last year, will host Vacaville. Not far away in Oakley, Freedom begins its quest for its sixth-straight playoff appearance against Turlock, which finished 7-3 last season, before bowing out in the first round of the Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs.

Many eyes will also be focused on Eells Stadium in Antioch, where five-star

running back Najee Harris begins his muchanticipated season against Lincoln (Stockton). Harris, now a senior, averaged 228 yards a game and rushed for 2,744 yards last year.

Not to be overshadowed, Pittsburg is looking to grab its 11-league title this season, clashing with Central Coast Section powerhouse Archbishop Mitty at home.

Deer Valley begins its second season under head coach Robert Hubbard on the road against Monte Vista, looking to improve off a 3-7 season last year. Finally, Heritage (4-8 last season) gets its preseason underway on the road against Tokay (Lodi).

The Patriots’ game begins at 7:15 p.m., while all other games begin at 7 p.m.

Freedom High School gets new scoreboard While the success of Freedom High School’s football team will be determined on the field this season, Falcon fans will have no problem following the action in Falcon stadium.

Crews recently completed installation of a new scoreboard, thanks in part to a $10,000 donation from Les Schwab Tire Centers.

“This is just part of our heritage,” said Matt Onstott, manager of the Les Schwab Tire Center on Lone Tree Way, in Brentwood. “Les Schwab started in 1972, and we have always been part of the community. That was one of Les’ big pushing points when he started the company.”

Onstott joined with Mat Bixel, manager of Les Schwab’s Oakley location, to handoff the check to Freedom High Principal

Kelly Manke and Falcons’ Athletic Director Steve Amaro last Thursday.

“I think the exciting part is when you have businesses working with the schools,” said Amaro. That is when you really see communities thrive.”

Les Schwab Tire Centers is also the title sponsor of the Liberty Union High School District’s Turkey Trot, which attracted 1,200 participants last Thanksgiving morning.

“For us to be involved in the community means the world to us,” Onstott said. “It’s just a way to give back to support those who support us.”

The big blue scoreboard, complete with the Falcons’ logo and the words Freedom Falcons, will light up when Freedom takes the field for its first home game this Friday against Turlock, at 7 p.m.

They played to win, had many successes and great experiences and made new friends, according to West Coast Soccer Director Troy Dayak.

The girls kicked off the summer by winning the US Club West Regionals held in Davis.

Colorado. Ironically, they bested a team from Boulder, Colorado, in the final match.

July started with the girls competing in the Davis Legacy College Showcase. They won five out of six games, only dropping the final match to the SoCal Slammers. This impressive showing gave them a second-place trophy to bring home to the club. In mid-July, the girls headed to the US Club National tournament in Aurora, Colorado.

In the last weekend of the end of July, the team headed to Oceanside to compete in the prestigious Surf Cup College Showcase – only the best of the best are invited to play in this tournament. They played teams from Washington, Hawaii and Southern California, and had an impressive showing, with a 1-1-1 record.

In early August, members from both West Coast under-17 girls teams headed to Glasgow, Scotland, to compete in the Glasgow City Cup tournament. They played five games against seasoned Scottish teams, including a victory over the historic Celtic United to get them to the finals. They also played in an international, friendly match against Scotland’s premier soccer club, Hamilton FC. “This is the first of many future international soccer trips for West

Coast Soccer Club. After an incredibly busy start to the summer, we capped it off with an unbelievable international experience, where the players immersed themselves in a passionate soccer culture,” Dayak said.

While in Scotland, the girls attended the Rangers and Hamilton FC Premier League match. This was the Rangers’ first game back in the Scottish Premiership after a three-year absence, so the environment was a oncein-a-lifetime experience. They were also treated to a special private stadium and

facility tour of one of the most successful clubs in the world, Celtic FC. As summer winds down, fall soccer kicks in. The boys’ and girls’ teams of West Coast Soccer Club compete in the two most competitive leagues in northern California - Norcal Premier and California Regional League. The teams begin fall league play and state cup qualifiers in late August.

Bowling all-stars on display in Reno I just returned last night from the 49th-annual NorCal Youth Bowling All Stars banquet and tournament in Reno.

The event is a celebration and competition of California’s top youth bowlers in their respective age groups, ranging from bantams, age 6, to seniors up Keglers to age 21. Last Saturorner day’s banquet was attended by hundreds of bowlers, parents, friends, coaches and proprietors, with a sprinkling of media types like myself.

The festivities Duane began with dinner at Wilson 4:30 p.m. last Friday afternoon, with the final recipient award at a little after 10 p.m. Each recipient stepped forward into the limelight, award in hand, to have their accomplishments, achievements and bio read to the attendees.

Some bios were short and to the point, and a few ran longer than four minutes due to some unscheduled adlibs, but that’s to be expected. Some of these young bowlers are perennial winners and have a wide history with the state and a big fan base.

Understanding Prop 13: Avoiding Reassessment of Real Property on Transfer to Family Member

by Joan Grimes, Esq.

to take the property, the property will be reassessed for 2/3 of its value (the property will be reassessed by 2/3 to account for the ‘sale’ by the other two children).

This problem can be avoided if the trust has been carefully crafted. The first way to avoid the reassessment is to allow the trustee to encumber the property before a distribution and for a non prorata distribution of assets. Secondly, the reassessment can be avoided if the trust provides for a specific distribution of the property to the intended child.

Another common provision is for the children have the ‘right’ to purchase the property interest from their other siblings (one child can ‘buy-out’ his or her siblings).

Unfortunately, this provision will not avoid the reassessment. To ensure that the trustee can distribute the property to the intended child and protect against reassessment, the trust documents must contain sufficient trustee powers to allow the trustee to engage in the necessary transactions prior to the transfer of the property.

Avoidance of reassessment is a very complicated area of the law. If you currently have a trust, and it is your intention that one or more of your family members will be applying for exclusion to reappraisal, I would suggest a review of your trust by an attorney to ensure your wishes can be achieved. If you would like me to review your trust, I see people every day for a FREE, 30-minute consultation in Walnut Creek or Brentwood.

A common estate-planning question is how to transfer property under Prop 13, either now or after death, to a family member without a reassessment of property taxes. Given current real property values in California, a reassessment of the property could cost the family member inheriting the property potentially thousands of dollars in additional property taxes each year. So, what is the law and how can you avoid an unnecessary reassessment under Prop 13?

The general rule is that, unless an exclusion applies, the value of real property is reappraised for property tax purposes whenever there is a change in ownership. So what are the exceptions under Prop 13?

1. Property transferred between spouses or registered domestic partners 2. Parent transfers to children OR children transfers to parent OR grandparent transfers to grandchildren whose deceased parent was the child of the grandparents *Important Note: A transfer of real property from a partnership, LLC or corporation to a child does not qualify under this exclusion and the property will be reassessed.

Next important question: What kinds of property can be transferred under Prop 13?

A principal residence; and Up to $1 million (assessed value, up to $1 million assessed value, not fairmarket value) A commonly overlooked issue is the distribution of property that is being held in a trust. Here is an example: Grantor (person who created the trust, generally the parent) has three children and the title to the grantor’s home is held by the trust. Additionally, the trust provides that upon the grantor’s death, all assets in the trust are to be divided equally to the three children. This is a very common provision in many trusts. However, unless, careful planning is untaken, if one child wants

Relishing victory

Point leader Trevor Clymens, #2, celebrated his seventh B Modified Main Event victory and tenth heat-race triumph with his family last Saturday, at Antioch Speedway. It was the seventh win of the season for the current point leader, who also won his tenth heat race earlier in the evening. The race had several yellow flags, and a yellow and checkered flag combo ended the race early, with Clymens collecting the victory.

A historic point for Freedom tennis

The Freedom girls’ tennis team opened its season on Tuesday with an 8-1 loss to Carondelet.

A huge bright spot for Freedom was freshman Alexis Matabuena, who took out Carondelt’s Clare Driscoll 6-3, 6-2. The win

was Freedom’s first-ever singles point in the 18-year history of the Carondelet and Freedom series. Freedom returned to the court on Thursday, against Maramonte.

Results of that match were not available as of press time.

Algae from page 1 signs to advise the public.”

While it is impossible to know each individual’s possible reaction to the varying levels of toxins caused by the algae, the parks district will err on the side of caution when advising its guests on how to proceed.

Dogs are especially vulnerable to the toxins.

The issue is not new to the Delta, as algae have always been present in these waters.

However, the drought and recent high temperatures have created ideal conditions for the algae to bloom and release their toxins.

The algae will eventually die once the weather cools, but can continue to release toxins for about one week.

Hal MacLean, water management supervisor for EBRPD, supervises the water testing throughout the park district. He and

Election from page 1 as congested is the race for city council.

Incumbents Mary Rocha and Monica Wilson will be contested by retiree Karl Dietzel, program manager Fred Rouse, university administrator Lamar Thorpe and general contractor Ken Turnage II.

Antioch City Clerk and City Treasurer Incumbent City Clerk Arne Simonsen and incumbent City Treasurer Donna Conley will glide to victory running unopposed.

Contra Costa Board Of Supervisors The race for Contra Costa County Supervisor District 3 will feature a twoperson race between Brentwood City Councilman Steve Barr and East Bay Regional Park District Director Diane Burgis. The duo qualified for the November election by finishing one-two in the June primary.

Brentwood Union School Distract Board Incumbents Carlos Sanabria and James Cushing will attempt to hold onto their positions, opposite challenger Stephen Arthur Gursky.

Liberty Union High School District Incumbents Raymond Valverde and

the rest of the district employees strive to create a healthy space for people to recreate and will stay on top of the algae problem and all it entails.

“This is a big concern for us; we know that people will be concerned for their family and pets, and for a person or a pet to be injured would be horrible,” MacLean said.

“The state has come up with guidance for managing the blue-green algae blooms in the last few years. For the state to take it seriously, and for us to know that people and pets are at risk, it’s not something we take lightly.”

MacLean said there have been a number of closures within the EBRPD in the last three years, limiting water contact with swimmers when tests have shown the presence of dangerous levels of cyanobacteria.

Infected waters can be reopened to the public after the blooms run their course, which they do each year at a different pace.

“We are getting better at identifying it and handling it,” MacLean said. “I think there’s a perception that it’s happening more, but I’ve been at EBRPD for 15 years and we had blooms every year, but never a positive for the toxin test until 2014. Since then, we’ve been checking more and finding more.”

He adds that there are still many unknowns and no treatment options. There is also not much data with which to make comparisons. EBRPD, like many organizations across the country right now, is struggling with this issue and learning how to control it.

“I feel like we are in the infancy of these programs and learning about the algae,”

MacLean said. “There are going to be more resources (put) toward this. There are postings all over the state, and people are taking this more seriously, because dogs are dying and people are getting sick. We’re a public agency, and we have to do the right thing, so when we see it, we report it.”

A similar situation arose in Discovery Bay last month when county officials tested the water in select areas of the community.

Signs along the marina and certain bays are still up to warn residents and their pets to stay out of the water.

The EBRPD’s website posts updates about which bodies of water are safe to swim in, and which ones are closed for swimming.

numbers shock you, just resolve to lower those numbers, and continue to monitor your device usage as you do so.

• Cut out the media junk food. As you examine your device usage, you may notice you are spending lots of time on fruitless activities, whether it’s catching up on the latest internet gossip or scanning friends’ social media pages to pass the time. Eliminating these activities from your day is unlikely to have an adverse effect on your life, and you will find yourself with more time to enjoy; more unplugged time with family and friends.

• Schedule your media time. Many of today’s adults grew up in homes where their parents restricted the time they were allowed to spend watching television. Modern parents can take a similar approach by

There are many strategies families can employ to reduce the number of hours they spend on their devices.

How to unplug from your devices The prevalence of technology is undeniable – according to data from the Pew Research Center, as of October 2014, 64 percent of Americans owned a smartphone.

In January of the same year, 42 percent of Americans owned a tablet computer while 32 percent owned an e-reader. While technology can be convenient, many people find themselves spending more time on their devices than they might prefer. Overexposure to communications technology can be detrimental to kids and adults, and some parents might be surprised to learn just how much time their youngsters are spending on different forms of media.

A 2010 survey from the Kaiser Family Foundation found that kids spend more than seven hours per day using various forms of media. That’s especially disconcerting, considering the American Academy of Pediatrics says that overexposure to me-

dia can increase kids’ risk of aggressive behavior and interest in alcohol and smoking, and lead to poor performance in school.

So how can families who have grown accustomed to using their devices find ways to unplug? The following are a handful of strategies families can employ to reduce the amount of time they’re spending on their smartphones, tablets and laptops.

• Start monitoring usage. Realizing just how much time you spend on your various devices is a great first step toward unplugging. As you go about your day, jot down each and every time you use any of your devices and what you are doing while using them, and ask family members to do the same. Do so for roughly one week, which should be ample time to provide an adequate picture of how much time you’re spending on your devices and what you are using them for. Don’t beat yourself up if the

limiting the amount of time their kids spend on devices while also placing the same restrictions on themselves. Allow yourself a certain amount of time each day to spend on your devices, even scheduling times each day when you will watch some television or catch up with friends on social media. Stick to this schedule, and you will likely see your device usage decrease dramatically.

• Recharge devices outside of your bedroom. Many adults can’t resist the urge to scan work emails or social media right before going to bed, and that can increase device usage and have a negative impact on sleep. When plugging devices in at night, be sure to charge them outside of your bedroom so you aren’t tempted to indulge in some extra and unnecessary usage at the end of the day.
