City to spend $8M in projects by Dave Roberts Staff Writer City officials are planning to spend more than $8 million in the next year on a variety of road and civic improvement projects, chief among them a $2 million fire station at 210 O’Hara Ave. The new station will be more centrally located than the current station at Second and Acme streets. It will be built on city-owned property and paid for from fees on new development. The next most expensive project coming down the pike is the $1.5 million second phase of construction at Creekside Park, which is along Creekside Way south of Laurel Road. The improvements will include additional parking, a multi-use sport court and ballfields. The funding is expected to come from the regional park bond approved by voters last November. Creekside Park will also be the beneficiary of $1 million spent to restore Marsh Creek adjacent to it. That project will provide passive recreation and enhanced habitat as well as a pedestrian bridge across the creek near the south end of the park. The money will come from a state grant. The other big-ticket item is the nearly $1.4 million planned to be spent to maintain city streets with slurry seals, cape seals and overlays; $805,0000 of the cost is expected to be provided by federal stimulus funding. “Better than ‘buying America’ for those

Staff Writer How early is too early for construction activity to start up in an Oakley neighborhood? That was one of the questions facing the City Council Tuesday night as it decided whether to approve a subdivision request by Discovery Builders. The council approved the developer’s plan to convert 11 acres southwest of Simoni Ranch Road and Little Ranch Circle (about one-third of a mile west of Gehringer Elementary School) into 31 housing lots ranging in size from 8,000 to nearly 16,000 square feet. Jackie Seeno, representing Discovery Builders, asked the council to change several of the conditions imposed on the devel-

Construction on the medians on Neroly and O’Hara roads near where they intersect is a taste of the road, park and ﬁre station construction planned in the coming year. projects, I think we are going to be ‘buying California,’” City Engineer Jason Vogan told the City Council at its May 26 meeting. “Because those are definitely local projects that will all be done with local forces. So that will be good for Oakley and the surrounding economy.” Mayor Carol Rios complimented Vogan for taking advantage of the federal funding. “With the stimulus package, what they are wanting is ‘shovel-ready’ – and we have been,” she said. “And that’s what put us in position to go after

some of the stimulus money. Had we not been planning always ahead, that would not be the case. So I just want to share our thanks to you and your staff for keeping your eye on the future. It’s made a difference here.” In addition, several major road improvement projects are expected to get underway in the coming year, the biggest of which is the widening of O’Hara Avenue, which will be done see Improvements page 21A

Council OKs Stonewood subdivision by Dave Roberts

“ Saturday is a precious time for many residents, the majority of which commute. A lot of people sleep in on Saturday.

”

Councilman Bruce Connelley opment, which is known as Stonewood, the most controversial of which concerned the times and days that construction would be allowed to take place. The city’s standard condition is that “noise-generating construction activities, including such things as power generators” are only allowed from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and not on holidays. Seeno asked that the condition

be changed to allow construction from 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. “If we can get out there a little bit earlier and get the work done, that would be helpful – if that’s a possibility – and also on Saturdays,” she said. That request did not sit well, however, with Richard Tyson, who lives on Little Ranch Circle just a few hundred feet from the construction site. “I don’t really agree with

Sell stuff!

that,” he told the council. “I think that most people that live in the area would not agree with that. That is pretty early in the morning. I’ve been through new construction. I’ve only been here 14 months and I was only the second house on the block. I will tell you that people show up at 5 o’clock, they show up at 6 o’clock, they show up with backhoes at 6:30. “And there’s generally a language barrier between the people doing the work and you trying to explain the big sign there that says ‘7 to 5.’ My feeling is that if you tell them 6:30 – everyone is trying to make a dollar – they are going to show up at 5:30. And there’s really nobody there to enforce that, see Subdivision page 21A

Salvia – new drug, old debate by Samie Hartley Staff Writer The young man in the video smiles as he takes a hit from a pipe and waits. Within seconds he’s laughing for no apparent reason. He tries to stand up but falls back onto the couch with a thud. He covers his face with his hands and tries to stand again. He falls to the floor and begins to roll around, apparently trying to escape an unseen force. He calls out to his friend and asks for help, but his friend laughs and continues to record the experience, telling him the “trip” will be over soon. More than 9,000 videos like this populate YouTube. They feature people high on salvia, a natural herb with hallucinogenic properties. While the drug is illegal in some states, salvia divinorum is legal in California and may be purchased at local smoke shops, including two in Brentwood. The drug can also be purchased online through head shops and venues such as eBay. The price ranges from $10 to $25 for 5x, the lowest-potency salvia. It’s cheaper to purchase salvia online, as it can cost up to $50 for 20 mg of potency 20x in the smoke shops. The high from salvia is reportedly instantaneous. Most people describe sensations of seeing vivid colors, bright lights, object distortion and sluggish body control, an experience that appealed to Kevin (an alias used to protect the source’s iden-

tity), a Liberty High School freshman who experimented with the drug and said other students at Liberty and Heritage high schools are using the substance, although the number of students using the drug is unclear. Within his circle of friends, Kevin said he knows of approximately 15 people who use it on a regular basis. “My friend told me about it,” Kevin said. “She said she tried it and

the age of 12 have reported using the substance. While it’s illegal for minors to purchase salvia in California, Kevin pooled his money with friends and persuaded a 20-year old acquaintance to purchase it for them. The boys went to a friend’s house to smoke it. Kevin said that after trying the drug, his body felt heavy and he couldn’t stop laughing, but

thought it was cool – that it felt good … You can get it on campus, but most people get it through the smoke shop.” According to a 2006 survey by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, males between the ages of 18 to 25 are the primary users of salvia, and about 750,000 Americans over

that was it. Unsatisfied with his experience, he looked forward to trying it again. Kevin’s second trip never took place. His stepfather intercepted a text message from one of Kevin’s friends asking about the drug, and the teenager was immediately grounded. Gloria (also an alias), Kevin’s mother,

said she is frustrated with her son and the fact that salvia is legal in California and easily obtained by minors. “I am so hurt that he would do something like this,” Gloria said. “I don’t get it. I’d never even heard of salvia, and after the research I’ve done, I can’t understand why anyone would want to try that stuff. And to find out that his friend told him that she was drooling on herself while she was high on it, and he still wanted to do it … I don’t get it. It’s so frustrating.” The only recorded death linked to salvia occured in 2006 in Delaware. Eighteeyear-old Brett Chidester committed suicide while high on the drug. His mother, Kathleen, lobbied for and helped pass legislation known as Brett’s Law, making salvia illegal in the state. Nine states have since adopted laws banning the sale and use of the drug. California Representative Joe Baca, a Democrat, created bill HR 5607 in order to amend the Controlled Substance Act to include salvia in 2002, but the bill never made it to a vote. Assemblyman Anthony Adams, a Republican from Hesperia, submitted a bill in 2008 that would have made the drug illegal in California. Adams’ bill was revised to put a restriction on salvia purchase but not ban the drug. Three other states enforce similar laws that prohibit the sale of salvia to minors. see Salvia page 17A

Tubbing for the troops by Rick Lemyre Staff Writer

Jill Price was conflicted. She planned to be at the Discovery Bay Marina on June 27 for the What A Country Challenge and the annual Paddle for Fame, but the date also happens to be her daughter Madelynn’s 10th birthday. Much to Jill’s delight, Madelynn not only chose to celebrate her birthday in conjunction with the Challenge, but said those attending her party could donate money to support the troops rather than buy birthday presents for her. “She said, ‘It would be fun for me, anyway,’” Jill said proudly. “At first, I thought it would make my mother happy,” said Madelynn. “Then I saw I was doing this for somebody that really needs me. I want to honor the men that died for our country to give us the rights we have today.” She also hopes to honor her great-greatgrandfather, a WWII veteran, and her grandfather, who served in Vietnam. And so it’s gone in the ramp-up to the party-for-the-troops challenge started by Discovery Bay’s Frank Morgan as a way to raise money for local veterans and some of the organizations see Troops page 14

Liberty graduates turn the tassel by Ruth Roberts Staff Writer

Given its collective purpose, the evening was surprisingly eclectic. From the personalized caps and colorful tassels – each signifying an academic achievement – to the airborne (and forbidden) beach balls to the dazzling array of fashionistas in their platforms and stiletto heels, Liberty High School’s graduation ceremony was an opportunity for individual expression. But it was also, as Student Speaker Arianne Alizio pointed out during last week’s commencement, an opportunity for members of the Class of 2009 to stand together in their individuality. “It is our job collectively to pursue our passions individually,” said Alizio. “I urge each and every one of us, regardless of what we go on to do, to keep our aspirations high and to find our element … It’s never too early or too late to pursue something great.” And greatness was something clearly in abundance. Numerous honors, scholarships and awards were handed out to Liberty’s graduating students, but the tone of the evening was not marked by academics alone. An “American Idol”-worthy performance of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” by some of the members of the Liberty music department brought the audience to its feet

Students were all smiles as they made their way into Ohmstede Stadium to the strains of “Pomp and Circumstance” for Friday’s Liberty High School graduation ceremony.

– some cheering and others in tears. Outgoing LUHSD Superintendent Dan Smith offered his congratulations to the class of 2009, as did Liberty Principal Tim Halloran. The hallmark speeches of the evening however, were presented by the co-valedictorians Melisa McChesney and Harpreya Chumbra. McChesney spoke with pride and affection to her classmates, offering them some timeless advice. “We’ve all come so far in the last four years, and we should all be proud,” she said. “I’m pretty sure my job today is to give you some advice and wise words, and I personally believe the best place

to get good advice is from 80s movies. And so, in the words of Ferris Bueller, I say, ‘Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it.’” Chumbra also congratulated her fellow students, taking the opportunity to express her own gratitude to family and friends while projecting some historic advice of her own: “As Nelson Mandela said, ‘It always seems impossible until it’s done.’ Each and every one of you has the potential to be successful in life. I urge you to pursue the impossible; there is nothing you cannot accomplish.”

FORECLOSURE & TENANT CHANGES

Graduates scan the stands looking for loved ones during the Freedom High School graduation ceremonies last weekend.

Freedom says goodbye to graduates, principal by Samie Hartley Staff Writer Freedom High School’s 2009 graduation ceremony marked several milestones on an unseasonably chilly June morning last weekend. As the graduates prepared to soar into a future of endless possibility, the Falcons’

leader, Principal Eric Volta, was also prepping to take flight, moving on to a position at the Liberty Union High School District. “I am very fortunate to exit Freedom with the class of ’09,” said Volta. “You will occupy a part of my heart with fond memories, and I am more than proud that you represent

Big changes if you are a tenant and the home you are renting gets foreclosed on. Effective as of sometime in the last two weeks, if a home is sold through a foreclosure sale, and there is a tenant in the property, the tenants can stay longer than they used to (in most circumstances). This applies whether the bank takes title to the property, or if a buyer buys it on the courthouse steps. If the tenant has a month-to-month tenancy, the new owner must give them at least a 90-day notice before they can terminate that tenancy. If the tenant has a fixed-term lease agreement signed, then it gets slightly more complicated. If the buyer is going to live in the property as their primary residence, they also have to give the tenant a 90-day notice to termite the tenancy. However, if the new owner will NOT

be occupying the property, then the tenant can stay in the property for the remainder of their lease term. What isn’t clear yet is what happens if you have a five-year lease, and whether the tenant will need to pay rent to the new owner, and who maintains the property, fixes problems, etc. More details on that to follow. This new rule applies to federallyrelated loans and residential rental property, so it won’t apply in every case. But it will apply in many cases. It expires at the end of 2012. Please consult an attorney for more details on this issue, as it is more complicated than it looks at first glance.

La Paloma is a school of very diverse people. We all have a range of interests, talents and ideas. However, we are united not only by our friendships and our bonds, but by the choices that have led us here today. “We may have had different paths, but we have all arrived here at the same destination. We have detoured, gone in reverse, and maybe even stalled for a while, but what matters is not the path that we chose or how long it might have taken us. What matters is that we made it.”

Liberty Union High School District Superintendent Dan Smith urged the graduating seniors to continue to beat the odds and pursue their dreams with the same determination they discovered at La Paloma. “The awarding of your diplomas is certainly an event you will remember for the rest of your lives,” Smith said. “You may not remember much of what is said tonight; however, I hope you will never forget the feeling of accomplishment and triumph that each of you must be feeling at this very moment. I hope you use the strong academic and personal foundation that you gained at La Paloma to build future success in your lives. “Keep in mind that if you are like most of us, you will stumble along the way.

Remember: the only mistakes that are unforgivable are those that we repeat.” Before the diplomas were distributed, special awards were given to students who demonstrated outstanding academic and personal achievements. While one or two seniors were selected to stand up for being recognized in categories such as Most Improved in Math, all seniors were asked to rise for the presentation of the Tenacity Award for demonstrating persistence in their desire to complete their education in spite of many obstacles. All seniors were also recognized with the Staff Appreciation Award for their efforts to take positive action to achieve socially and academically at La Paloma.

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage Matters By Trevor Frey

Brentwood Relay for Life this weekend @ Liberty High School!

REMEMBER WHEN week. And that, in turn, pushes up rates on other long term loans… including 30year mortgages. In other words, and in spite of the Fed (in recent weeks) buying $5 billion daily in 10-year Treasury bonds, the cat is out of the bag. Treasury bonds are IOUs of the federal government. But so are dollar bills…the same dollar bills more or less printed to purchase the bonds and lower rates. Ultimately the bond market has begun to notice that Uncle Sam is only paying off his IOUs with more IOUs. And once the market fully reacts to this, the rates will be right back to where we started in November 2008, before Uncle Sam stepped in, somewhere in the 6.25% range. Bottom line, if you are on the fence regarding your possible refinance, or in the works of completing your purchase transaction, now may very well be the time to lock in your borrowing rate. In the next few weeks, with continuing positive economic indicators being released, and the scare of the “inflation” being fought, rates are more likely to continue to rise than to fall.

Remember when the milk man delivered fresh dairy directly to your door?…I can honestly tell you that I don’t. What I do remember, however, is that from roughly January through mid May of this year, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) weekly application survey – a survey that covers roughly 50 percent of all residential mortgage originations and tracks the average interest rate for 30 year and 15 year fixed rate mortgages, 1 year ARMs as well as application volume for both purchase and refinance applications – refinance applications sky-rocketed to heights never before been seen in the history of the United States. Good for those who got in while the getting was GREAT! For those who did not, or were not, able to take advantage of the historically low rates, the good news is we’re still not too far off from those lows. Again remembering back, this time to November of 2008, when conforming 30-year fixed rates were in the 6.25% range, the federal government began buying Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS) with the hopes of stimulating the housing market. However, since then, rising government debts, and America’s hope of an economic recovery, has pushed up long-term interest rates on government debt. The yield on the 10-Year Treasury, which was barely 2% near the end of last year, surged to 3.87% late last

Show proper respect for Old Glory by Annette Beckstrand Brentwood As direct descendants of John Alden (a passenger aboard the Mayflower, and founder of Plymouth Colony), my ancestors were among those who fought in the American Revolution and have served their country with dignity since. I currently have a son serving in the U.S. Navy and am a Blue Star Mother. Like most American mothers, I have done my best to rear my children to be upstanding citizens and patriots UEST of America, and to contribute to COMMENT our American society. I am disheartened and even frustrated when in an assembly or ceremony I notice the U.S. flag is not properly displayed, or revered. I am heartbroken as the U.S. flag is marched before audiences, and the attendees do not stand, do not place their hands on their hearts, and do not show any reverence for the U.S. flag. At nearly every event I attend in Brentwood, other than for the Boy Scouts of America or retired veterans, the U.S.

flag is improperly displayed. Almost weekly, I find myself attending a function where I have to go to the front of the room and correct the placement of the U.S. flag. I was appalled at the Liberty Union High School graduation services this past Friday, when our own LUHSD officials had improperly displayed the U.S. flag. (I actually pulled out my cell phone and tried calling the district persons for whom I had cell numbers.) The disrespect continued as the color guard marched across the field presenting the colors, and less than half of the audience stood and placed their hands on their hearts. Were my pleas ignored so as to not “interrupt” the ceremony at hand? In an organization that should be about teaching – what a shame to lose such a teaching moment with our young adults, who are about to enter the adult world. What a profound message could have been sent to these students, to have someone stop such a meaningful ceremony to make such an important correction in the overall ceremony as to place the U.S. flag on the right of the stage, and to the right of the state flag. When our own public education system does not teach

LETTERS Listen up, Representative Chicken Little Editor: There is an old adage: “Feed a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach him how to fish and he eats for a lifetime.” Last week the citizens of California sent a message to our political representatives. I interpreted it to mean “We are tired of you confiscating our hard-earned money to squander it away on social programs, which stifle incentive but keep you in power.” I guess I’m as sympathetic as anyone when it comes to the downtrodden, the poor, the helpless and the vulnerable. I give generously to many charities. But when someone elected to represent me decides that I make too much money and takes it to feed someone for a day, every day, then I say, “Hold on there, where’s that in the Constitution?” I didn’t intend to elect Robin Hoods.

meant to elect clear thinking, rational, fiscally responsible men and women to govern us, protect us and provide us the opportunity to grow, prosper and pursue happiness. Chasing self-aggrandizing idealistic dreams, at my expense, was not part of the equation. And now you’re crawling to Washington, hat in hand, looking for a bailout – so that you can continue digging the hole we are in deeper. Well, I hope, fervently hope, Washington says “no.” Let the state go belly up. Maybe, just maybe, the shock of reality will bring you back to your senses. Start cutting those programs we cannot afford and cut deep. Running a government is a business, not an avocation. And please, spare me the self-serving, whining, hand wringing, Chicken Little arguments that going belly up would mean a “drastic” cut in essential services and have dire international consequences. I really don’t care. We’re Americans. Risk it. Now, run and tell the President the sky is falling. He’ll blame it on Bush. Ron Beatty Brentwood

nor exemplify patriotism and respect, how can we expect the coming generations to know anything of patriotism or respect for the U.S. flag and country? All you need to know about the long-forgotten official United States Code regarding the respect and treatment of the U.S. flag can be found at www.usflag.org. I know thousands of Boy Scouts, veterans and current U.S. military service men and women who would be willing to spend a minute to teach you anything you want to know about the U.S. flag. The majority of you are Americans, whether by lawful immigration or by birth. Those of you who are not, are still bound by the United States Code to honor and respect the U.S. flag when on our soil. There are no excuses for what is happening in our country. I hope for change. Perhaps the parents can work with the public schools to reinstate compliance with the United States Code regarding our U.S. flag at home, in our schools and in our communities.

Hint to hikers: stay off the shoulder For those who savor the colors and aromas of spring, East County’s 2009 version of the season has been the best in three years. Press readers who’ve taken up our Wildflower Challenge (visit thepress.net/living/contest+games) have found an abundant TAKE IT array of blossoms UTSIDE to identify along the trails of our regional parks. A word about those trails: stay on them. Beneath the genial façade of all this blooming and burgeoning, organGER isms other than ERICKSON wildflowers are unfurling. Alongside the purple of brodeia and the amber of monkeyflower, something nasty is emerging in scarlet and green: poison oak.

Salvia from page 3A The problem with passing legislation on a national level is that little is known about salvia. Legislation banning or restricting sale of the drug has failed in 10 states because legislators did not have enough compelling evidence to ban the natural substance. Researchers are only beginning to understand the long-term effects of the drug, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), which speculates that the long term effects could be similar to hallucinogens such as LSD. The DEA is currently investigating salvia for possible classification as a Schedule I substance under the Controlled Substance Act, which would classify the drug as a substance with high potential for abuse and no accepted medical benefits. Supporters of salvia such as Daniel Siebert, pharmacologist and founder of the Salvia Divinorum Research and Information Center, object to the comparison to the chemical compound LSD, since salvia is a natural herb. On the organization’s Web site, Siebert suggests that salvia might even be used to treat LSD addiction because the effects are similar, but salvia leaves the system within 30 minutes. LSD’s effects can last for up to 12 hours. He

Toxicodendron diversilobum, the poison oak shrub, is scattered throughout East County’s most attractive scenery. The pesky plant isn’t unattractive in its own right, especially in spring, when its leaves burst forth in glossy gradations of scarlet, and in autumn, when they take on a rusty hue. But its beauty – and menace – is skin deep. Poison oak isn’t a member of the oak family, but its lobed leaves resemble those of the oak tree. Its stems put out leaves in clusters of three, and in summer and autumn, the female plants sprout tiny ivory-colored fruits. The time-honored jingle is worth remembering: “Leaves of three, let it be; berries white, poisonous sight.” What makes poison oak so hazardous to our health is the toxic oil running through the resin canals of its roots, see Outside page 19A

speculates that salvia’s ability to stunt pain receptors in the brain could also make the drug a candidate to be used as a form of anesthetic. Kevin said that if he hadn’t been caught, he would have tried the drug again until he got a more intense high. As part of his punishment, Kevin was asked to research the drug and report his findings to his mother. Despite seeing the “bad trips” on YouTube, he said he’d still try it again if he had the chance. “I’m not really concerned about the negative effects that I’ve read about or seen,” Kevin said. “I don’t know anyone who’s had a bad experience. I didn’t have a bad reaction and none of my other friends have, either.” Since Kevin expressed interest in trying the drug again, Gloria set up a drug counseling appointment with Kaiser Permanente. The counseling only lasted a few sessions when it was determined there was no course for treating salvia use, since the drug isn’t addictive and leaves the body quickly. Gloria said she’s perturbed that nothing more can be done and that high school officials seem to be largely unaware of the drug’s existence on campus.

Nestled amid the baby blue-eyes and narrowleaf goldenbush of Mt. Diablo’s Juniper Trail, a nascent cluster of poison oak invites the unwary hiker to explore stimulating new realms of discomfort.

Liberty High School Assistant Principal Jim Bruce said Liberty staff is slowly learning more about the drug, but he’s not aware of any sales of salvia on campus. “Salvia has just recently come to our attention, and it’s disturbing that it’s legal in California,” Bruce said. “There have been no reports of students using it on campus, but as we do more research, we will have to come up with a strategy to educate the staff about the warning signs so that we can be on the lookout.” Sgt. Mark Misquez of the Brentwood Police Department said school resource officers have been made aware of the drug, but no incidents regarding the use or sale of salvia have been reported at local schools or in Brentwood as a whole. Misquez said parents should call police dispatch if their child has obtained salvia. While possession is not a crime, it’s illegal to sell, furnish, and purchase the substance for a minor, as in Kevin’s case. To report an incident, call 925-778-2441. Until salvia is banned in California, Gloria said she will conduct at-home drug tests to ensure that Kevin stays away from salvia and other drugs, as he also admitted to smoking marijuana. “I don’t know what else I can do,” Glo-

ria said. “I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure he stays away from this stuff. I’m more nervous now than ever. He knows that it’s stupid, but it’s not sinking in. I don’t know what else to do to get through to him.” The California Attorney General’s Crime and Violence Prevention Center suggests that parents help their children resist the urge to experiment with drugs such as salvia by setting consistent boundaries and establishing consequences for inappropriate behavior. The site advises parents to encourage their children to get involved in school or in community activities that will boost their self esteem, and the site recommends that parents keep track of their kids’ friends and get to know the friends’ parents when possible to steer children away from bad influences. For more tips for helping kids stay away from drugs, download the educational booklet “Drugs and Youth” at www. safestate.org. For more information about salvia, visit the Drug Enforcement Administration at www.usdoj.gov/dea/concern/salvia_divinorum.html; the Salvia Divinorum Research and Information Center at www. sagewisdom.org; or the comprehensive educational site www.salvia.net.

Outside from page 17A stems, leaves and flowers. It’s called urushiol, and it’s strictly weapons grade. An amount covering the head of a pin is all that’s needed to cause a skin rash on 500 people. A mere quarter ounce of it could raise a rash on every person on the planet. And like nuclear waste, urushiol preserves its punch. Specimens of it several centuries old have produced rashes on sensitive people. The allergic reaction caused by poison oak’s industrial-strength resin is a “cell-mediated immune response.” Does your immune system fire on all cylinders? Then you definitely want to stay out of poison oak’s way. When the urushiol residue on your skin penetrates the epidermal layer and attaches to proteins of deeper skin cell membranes, the attachment triggers an alarm that alerts your T-cells. Look out. T-cells are the security guards of your circulatory system. They check membrane surfaces for unauthorized personnel, such as viruses, with utmost sophistication. Problem is, when they identify an intruder, those mild-mannered security guards become an army of Terminators. The T-cells go berserk, blasting the urushiol attached to the cell membrane – and everything in the vicinity. This collateral damage produces the blistering rash we know and loathe. Worse yet, the “peak misery” (yes, a technical term) of the response might not appear for days or weeks. Should you accidentally sideswipe

COMMUNITY

a poison oak plant, the first thing to do is wash the contaminated area thoroughly, some experts say within the first 10 minutes. (Urushiol can’t be rubbed off. Rubbing might only work it deeper into your skin.) Problem is, no trail I’ve ever walked is equipped with resin-removing soap stations every half mile. If the poison oak allergen has penetrated your epidermal layer, washing won’t do you any good. But if you want to take a shot at washing, consider using an organic solvent such as rubbing alcohol or the “Oak-n-Ivy Cleanser” called Tecnu. Your skin isn’t the only thing that’ll need washing. Shoes, socks, backpack, all your clothing – wash them thoroughly or throw them away. They’ll recontaminate you if you don’t. But be consoled: the poison oak allergen can’t be spread through blister fluids. After thorough washing, you won’t be con-

taminating anyone else. After those rashes and blisters develop, a product called Zanfel might be called for. It claims to attack the urushiol at any stage of development. I’ve found Zanfel helpful in dealing with my own outbreaks. As proactive measures, products such as Ivy Block and StokoGard Outdoor Cream can be applied before the hike. Should you run afoul of poison oak, be prepared to ride out the storm. Outbreaks ranging from mild to moderate can last 16 to 18 days. If you feel your case might be severe, get your rash to a doctor. Poison oak is no joke. The temptation to wander into offtrail wonders can be strong. If you’re wise, you’ll resist scratching that itch. Succumb to the temptation and another itch awaits, one you’ll be scratching for a very long time.

Striking up the Band Camp The Liberty High School Band will host a Summer Band and Color Guard Camp next week for student entering sixth through ninth grades in the fall. The camp is designed to introduce students, through games and fun activities, to the various roles available to high school band members. Camp participants will learn basic marching skills, color guard and auxiliary routines, pep band music, and marching and concert

band music. Light snacks will be provided, and participants will receive a summer camp T-shirt. Camp runs from June 15 through June 19 from 9 a.m. to noon at Liberty High School in Brentwood. The cost is $85, and students must bring their own instruments. For more information or to sign up, e-mail Liberty High School Band Director Carey Hurst at hurstc@ libertyuhsd.k12.ca.us.

Got 75lbs., 100lbs., 150lbs, 200lbs to lose?

New Doctor Supervised Weight Loss Program Created Only For SERIOUS Weight Problems…

Local doctor feels he has created the most unique and complete weight loss program that uncovers hidden health conditions leading to weight gain… Successfully shrinking LARGE people with BIG Weight Problems If you’ve ever tried to lose your extra weight and diet, you know how it feels to be deprived. Yet millions of Americans start diets each and every year, hoping that this time will be different, and that they will finally, magically, lose weight for good. Approximately $33 billion a year is spent on diet and weight loss programs, yet there are more overweight Americans today than ever before. The great news is, there are many of these people that have decided to close the door on all the Diet hype. Instead, a growing number of these people are turning to the advice of health professionals who are approaching weight loss in a completely different way that is safe, effective and helps people change the way they think about food, when they eat it, how they eat it and why they eat it . This breakthrough, not so diet approach that has already helped dozens and dozens of people lose weight successfully and long term, is Doctor supervised non surgical brain based weight loss treatment.

The Key to Long Term Change The subconscious mind often files away and stores not so positive thoughts or negative behaviors that can release tendency for destructive or unhealthy habits. For overweight people, a problem with their ability to modify these bad habits can be seen as they spend their whole life battling this problem. The most effective way to get around this problem is to change the way you think and the choices you make with new brain based weight loss treatments. In an ultra relaxed state that is similar to a hypnotic state, it is easier to incorporate new habits, explains Dr. James Martin D.C., clinic director of HealthSource Weight Loss Center in Brentwood, CA. People really aren’t dumb. They know what they should do, drinking more water, eating proteins and veggies, not eating late at

night, etc. They just can’t turn these desirable behaviors into permanent habits. By using brain based weight loss treatments to jump past your subconscious, we can help patients make changes and long lasting new habits… Dr. Martin says brain based weight loss is like being extremely focused and relaxed sometimes called “CVR” or creative visualization. With brain based weight loss treatments, we speed up your ability to take in new suggestions. Bad or undesirable habits that lead to your weight gain are traded effortlessly for smarter choices that lead to desirable behaviors and you start to finally lose weight and bust out of your bad habits. We help patients think and eat like a thin person by reprogramming their subconscious. They lose weight

automatically and have long term results because they’ve changed the way they think about what foods they eat, when they eat and why. As soon as you have successfully replaced your old habits with new good habits, you never have to actively think about diets any more because your weight is no longer an issue.

Break Through Your Weight Loss Barrier More and more who are looking for a smart, effective and new approach to long-term weight loss have found brain based weight loss treatments with amazing and lasting results. Dr. Martin has seen people who have received brain based type weight loss treatments, maintained their weight loss for more than 10+ years without even thinking about it. The real secret to looking and feeling how you want

is all about developing the kinds of habits that can help you live the life you want. Then, we help you make those new habits just happen without effort. Have you gained and lost weight multiple times? Do you lose some weight while dieting, only to end up gaining it all back and then some? Have you tried a number of different weight loss programs only to fail? Do you eat everything on your plate, even when you are already full? Do you eat when you are upset, angry or stressed out? Are you always thinking about food? If you said yes to any of these questions, brain based weight loss may be your solution. Brain based weight loss treatment is spreading across the country and some of the most well-respected hospitals have incorporated these brain based type of therapy into their treatments. And, because of its commitment to overweight Americans, HealthSource offices continue to receive patient referrals from doctors and private practices, and has opened over 242 franchised centers in the United States. If your weight loss center is not doing extensive blood testing and hormone testing to evaluate your metabolic internal function for roadblocks and guide you to correct any imbalances with natural proven supplements or botanicals or helping change your behavior for a lasting change you may want to call for more information, or to schedule a complimentary brain based and metabolic weight loss screening with our weight loss program director Dr. James Martin D.C. and a FREE demonstration treatment to find out if you are a candidate for simple and easy weight loss.

Improvements from page 1A in several phases. Work is currently underway on the medians on O’Hara Avenue and Neroly Road near where those roads intersect. The widening of the O’Hara segment from the YMCA to Laurel Road is “substantially designed,” said Vogan, and might be under construction by the end of the year, followed by the segment from Carpenter Road to Vintage Drive. A traffic signal will be installed at the intersection of O’Hara and Cypress roads. While much of the action is in mid-to-south Oakley, Main Street won’t be neglected: $560,000 is planned to be spent to improve the road frontage on the south side of Main Street east of Live Oak Avenue to make it safe for pedestrians. Improvements will also be made to Main Street near Teakwood Drive and west of Raley’s shopping center. More than $1 million has been set aside in a contingency fund in case construction costs escalate or unforeseen complications arise. Vogan will have a better feel for whether that money will be needed when the projects go out to bid and construction contracts are drawn up this summer and early fall. “We won’t be losing any opportunity” by not

Subdivision from page 1A because the general foreman isn’t in yet. And when he comes in, it’s like, ‘Um, yeah, they do that all the time.’ That’s a red flag to me if they can’t get the work done from 7 to 5. (Working until) 5:30 would be better than starting early.” Community Development Director Rebecca Willis asked the council to keep the condition as written, pointing out that it’s been successful in limiting problems at construction sites. “There is a provision where the community development director may expand these hours, but it’s a privilege – it’s not a guaranteed program,” she said. “Our building and safety and engineering divisions have turned this into a fantastic opportunity to get good behavior from our job site superintendents. If you have a job site with very few complaints from the neighbors on noise, dust, traffic – if you run a very clean and compatible job site – you will be rewarded with having an opportunity to work on Saturdays or to start earlier in the summers if they are being a good neighbor. “That has been very successful to get really good behavior, to get the dust and the noise and the traffic running really smoothly. So we are not precluding the developer from having that opportunity. But we are demanding some good behavior to help the neighborhood.”

slating that money now for other projects, said Vogan. “We are nice and busy and have plenty of projects to work on anyway.” In other action at the May 26 meeting, the council: • Agreed to have City Attorney Bill Galstan look into having the city take over control of garbage pickup, which is currently provided by Oakley Disposal Service through a franchise agreement with the Ironhouse Sanitary District (ISD). If that were done, perhaps when the current contract expires, the 5-to-10-percent franchise fee would go to the city to pay for road maintenance rather than going to ISD, said Galstan, who joked that when he was the city attorney in Antioch, “I was known as the sultan of solid waste, amongst other things.” • Appointed Community Development Director Rebecca Willis to represent Oakley on the Delta Science Center Board, replacing Councilman Bruce Connelley. Council members were concerned that Connelley has a conflict of interest because he owns property in the Big Break area where some DSC activities take place. Connelley denied having a conflict and was the only council member to vote against the representative change.

Most of the council members agreed with that rationale. Councilman Bruce Connelley said he prefers that construction never be allowed to start before 7:30 a.m. and that it should be limited to Monday through Friday. “Saturday is a precious time for many residents, the majority of which commute,” he said. “A lot of people sleep in on Saturday.” The only council member to agree with Seeno’s request for an earlier start time was Jim Frazier, who owns a construction company. “I tend to want to start early because I don’t want to work until 5:30 in the heat of the summer,” he said. “My crew wilts; it’s not efficient. “Saturdays – in this economy, I believe we are at a point where we need to reach out a little bit. The faster they get it done, the faster they can get (the houses) moved into and move on and make their money. That’s a portion of economic stimulus, just trying to help in these times. 6:30 doesn’t seem early to me, because I start at 6 so that I can get off at 2:30. “If it became a nuisance, I think it has be adjusted. But if it works and the building department can keep a handle on it, I think we should give the opportunity.” The majority of the council members prevailed, however, and the condition limiting the hours remained as written.

Falcon warrior’s black-andblue, stitch-in-time season by Dave Roberts Staff Writer

East County’s high schools are blessed with a number of outstanding athletes in all sports. But if you were forced to select one East County Athlete of the Year, an excellent candidate would be Freedom High pitcher Billy Wardell. The hard-throwing lefty did what you would expect from a candidate for Athlete of the Year: he compiled a 101 record this season and pitched his team to an NCS championship victory over De La Salle last week in the Oakland Coliseum. But what sets him apart from most of the other great local athletes is that Wardell – not once but twice – scraped himself up off the dirt after suffering injuries in playoff games that would have sidelined most players, and pitched not only good but great to get the wins. In the opening playoff game against Newark Memorial, Wardell fell to the ground after throwing a pitch in the fifth inning and was writhing on his back in pain. He had severely sprained his ankle but, figuring it might get him pulled out of the game if he told the truth, instead told Manager Gary Alexander it was just a cramp in his calf that he could work out. He stayed in the game and got the 4-1 complete-game victory. The next time Alexander saw him, Wardell’s ankle was black and blue and had swollen up to the size of a softball. If that weren’t enough heroics, in the second inning of the championship game, Wardell sustained a severe cut above his left eye when the De La Salle shortstop landed on him as he slid headfirst into second. Again, after lying in the

dirt, Wardell picked himself up and convinced Alexander to let him remain in the game – then went on to pitch a complete-game shutout. When asked what Wardell has meant to his team this season, Alexander said, “He’s meant the whole team. He was the MVP of the league, MVP of our team – not only pitching, but he hits the ball and runs the bases well. He has some intangibles that you can’t teach. He has a warrior mentality that, when the game’s on the line, he wants the ball and wants to be the person who delivers.” And there was no bigger game for Freedom than the NCS championship, which Wardell played most of “with a big old gash on his eye,” said Alexander last Friday. “He ended up getting 19 stitches. He’s still got a black eye to show for it. He’s a warrior. Anybody else, I can’t imagine them going on in the game. He not only went on, but struck out 11 and got a one-hitter. “He did it taped up and bleeding through (the bandage) and his eyelid swelling up the whole game. He didn’t lose focus at all. I thought for sure he was out of the game and started warming up my other pitcher, but he came back out and finished the game. When he wants the ball, he wants the ball – there’s no getting it out of his hand.” The Falcons ended up with an excellent 23-4 overall record and 14-1 in league play. Alexander, who has been coaching baseball for 15 years, the last six at Freedom, said this has been the Falcons’ best season ever “by far.” It’s essentially the same team he had the previous year, which won the league title. “This year, with one (extra) year of experience, we took it all the way.” While Wardell has rightfully gotten the lion’s share of the attention this season, Alexander’s son, Jordan, has

also been instrumental by alternating on the mound with Wardell. “We were a little worried who our number-two pitcher would be,” said the manager. “Jordan stepped up and was Pitcher of the Year in the league.” Of course, a team doesn’t consist of just the guy on the mound, and Alexander credits his team’s depth and great spirit for contributing to its success. “Our guys on our bench probably could have started for most other teams in the league,” he said. “And they knew it, but they all had a great attitude, which contributed to the great success of our team. A lot of time you have cancers on the team that can lower the morale on the team. But their work ethic was second to none, character was second to none, sportsmanship and class on the field second to none. They were a great group of young men. It’s always fun to win a championship with a group like that.”

His season ended with a 15th-place finish in the 200 meters, 21st in the 100 meters, 25th in the long jump, and 20th as a member of the 4x100-meter relay team. Freedom senior Aimee Rodgers capped her career with a personal-best performance in the 100-meter hurdles, clocking in at 14.47 to finish 12th of 28 athletes in that event. Rodgers’ heat produced the best time in the nation during Friday’s trials, creating a final footnote for what was a spectacular career for the hurdler. During her four years at Freedom, Rodgers captured seven BVAL titles, five Tri-Valley titles and placed 20th in

the 300-meter hurdles in her final high school race. In the boys 110-meter hurdles, Falcon freshman Kenneth Walker III was the only ninth-grader to make it into the boys hurdles field, and he improved to a personal-best time of 14.86 to place 19th overall. Liberty senior Wyatt Landrum also experienced success at the state meet, improving on his time last year in the 3,200 meters by seven seconds, running a personal-best time of 9:04 to place 13th in arguably the fastest distance field in California state meet history, as eight runners ran under nine minutes. Even more impressive, each of the top eight runners in the race ran times to rank in the top 10 nationally.

The final team from East County to compete in Friday’s trials was the 4x400meter relay team from Heritage, which placed 24th in the final event of the day. Both Okodogbe and Suleman finished their seasons ranked in the top four in the nation in their respective events, indicating some of the strength remaining on the Deer Valley campus. For the seniors who qualified for the state meet, it was a fitting send-off. The athletes got to compete with the elite on what for many was also graduation weekend.

interview. “These economic times are not easy for the school, certainly not easy for the city. The thing that is frustrating is that we have all of the materials on campus to install these lights. An electrical distributor has donated all of the wiring. We have the light fixtures and poles. All we need is somebody to install them. So the district will have to do it alone. That’s unfortunate. “It would be wonderful if we could find a benevolent person to do the installation for us. But I know that’s not cheap, either. Diamond Hills is a great athletic facility. It’s done a lot not only for Oakley but all of East County. I do think the Freedom lights would be uti-

lized not only for tennis tournaments but also for 24-hours-of-tennis fundraisers. This is a setback, but it doesn’t mean it’s not going to happen.” Amaro, who is also Freedom’s athletic director, said that the funding setback might be a lesson in the need for the school to do more public outreach. “We have to learn how to be more self-sufficient and communicate our vision of Freedom High School to the public,” he said. “Not only to the city (officials), but to the people of Oakley. I think the more we are able to communicate what our goals are, we will find more people to partner with us.”

Sutter Delta bids chaplain farewell After 31 years of service, Sutter Delta Medical Center’s longtime chaplain (SDMC), the Rev. Nancy Monfort, has retired – but not before SDMC staff and friends celebrated her years of service at a special ceremony. “My tenure with SDMC has been a wonderful experience, both professionally and personally, giving me several different career paths and options for growth,” said Monfort. “I have so many wonderful memories from my time here, including the countless prayers I’ve said for so many people, and the relationships I’ve formed as a result.” Monfort joined SDMC in the spring of 1978 as an administrative assistant to the personnel and foundation departments. She was soon promoted to foundation coordinator and was later named executive director of the foundation, where she oversaw the foundation, as well as the hospital’s marketing and community relations. In 1998, Monfort began the chaplaincy program and was appointed manager of interfaith chaplaincy services. “While I thoroughly enjoyed all of the professional options the hospital offered me, possibly the most rewarding was as the chaplain, which gave me

the opportunity to become a licensed and ordained minister and work oneon-one with patients,” said Monfort. “Experiencing very personal moments with patients and families is very sacred and amazing, transforming hospital rooms into holy grounds. I’ve witnessed many miracles, seen courageous acts of survival and helped many people come to peace and find purpose in their life journeys.” According to SDMC CEO Gary Rapaport, “The chaplain offers an extremely important service to the hospital, its employees and patients. Nancy’s style and grace touched so many lives here, positively affecting their experiences and views of SDMC. It’s because of her passion for the hospital, patients and her faith that she was able to so perfectly bridge the gap between medical and emotional care.” “This is a bittersweet moment for me,” said Monfort. “I am looking forward to retiring and spending some quality time with my family, but will forever remember the incredible group of dedicated people that make up SDMC, all of whom share my passion for enhancing the health and well-being of our patients.”

‘Pinocchio’ fleshed out on stage Delta Children’s Ballet Theatre opens its 2009 season with the premiere of “Pinocchio,” based on an adaptation of the story by Carlo Collodi. The curtain goes up Saturday, June 20 at 4 p.m. and Sunday, June 21 at 2 p.m. at the historic Creative Arts Building at Pittsburg High, 250 School St. Tickets are available at Delta Ballet Academy, 300 G St. in Antioch, and online at www.deltachildrensballet.org. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for children (under 17) and $5 for seniors. Pinocchio is the story of a mischievous puppet’s adventures in his quest to become a real boy, and a father’s unconditional love for his son. The Delta Children’s Ballet

Theatre production, utilizing more than 40 dancers ranging in age from 4 to 17, features Geppetto, the Fairy, the sneaky Fox and tricky Cat, the Cricket, Stromboli the Showman and, of course, Pinocchio and his faithful friend Figaro. Delta Children’s Ballet Theatre is a nonprofit organization founded in 1989 to give children the opportunity to practice and perform classical ballet in a professional environment. The group is also involved in numerous community outreach projects. Delta Children’s Ballet Theatre is led by Artistic Director Sharon Sobel, a Pittsburg native and a former student of Delta Ballet Academy and Delta Children’s Ballet Theatre.

After last year’s successful premiere of “Peter Pan,” Sobel has reawakened the artistic spirit of the children with an emphasis on classical ballet technique and bold performances. The principal dancers for the 2009 season are Jessica Fleming, Andrea Herrera, Monica Hoggan and Savannah Showers. Parts were double-cast to give each dancer more experience and the opportunity to improve their skills. For more information, call 925-754-9833 or e-mail info@deltachildrensballet.org.
