Construction of Recycled Water Project Imminent By Christina Lavingia
The US Army Corps of Engineers, East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD), Jonas and Associates Inc. and the Dublin San Ramon Services District are working together on a recycled water program that would stretch the limited drinking water supply in portions of Blackhawk, Danville, Dublin, and San Ramon. The water generated from the recycled water program would strictly be for landscape irrigation only and is likely to supply an annual average of 5.7 million gallons per day of recycled water for this purpose; which breaks down to 2.4 mgd to EBMUD and 3.3 mgd to DSRSD. The San Ramon Valley Recycled Water Program will create social, e c o n o m i c a n d e n v i ro n m e n t a l benefits for consumers. Socially, a recycled water system would save our limited drinking water supply and would create a drought-proof
and drought-resistant supply of water. Economically, a reliable supply of water strengthens our regional economy and protects community investments in golf

San Francisco Bay and permits more water to be left instream, which protects our fish and wildlife resources. Recycled water is safe and is more highly disinfected than drinking water. EBMUD and DSRSD do not add recycled water to their drinking water supplies. Approximately 4.2 miles (total) of reclaimed water distribution pipeline will be constructed beginning on Camino Tassajara starting from Hansen Lane moving westbound, ending at Blackhawk Road. Construction will proceed on Blackhawk Drive from Camino Tassajara passing Deerfield Way. The last portion of construction will be on Deerfield Way from Blackhawk Drive to Deer Crest Drive. Construction will be occurring Monday through Friday from the hours of 7:30am to 2:30pm when school is in session and 7:30am to 3:30pm when school is not in session. See WATER page 4

Great Family Fun at Danville Concours d’Elegance By Staff Writer
The 2010 Danville Concours d’Elegance marks the 6th year of this event, which is a 100 percent volunteer-run fundraiser dedicated to the fight of Parkinson’s disease. This year’s event will be on September 19 on the streets of Danville. A dinner and live auction will be held the night before on September 18 at the Blackhawk Museum. This year’s guest is Don Williams of The Blackhawk Collection. There will be a special tribute to David Love, a local racing and automobile aficionado. This year the event will continue to raise funds to support Team Fox and The Parkinson’s Institute. Team Fox supports local events
in raising money for the Michael J. Fox Foundation in providing financial support for leading research projects in the quest to find a cure for Parkinson’s disease. The Parkinson’s Institute continues to combine world-class patient care and research in the search for a cure. The event is also supported by many local auto enthusiasts that own historically important vehicles. David Love (wellknown throughout racing circles) has owned and raced and his 1958 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa for over 46 years. That particular automobile, as well as others owned by David, can be seen at the Danville event. The 2009 Danville d’ Elegance Road and Track Award
went to the Green Family of Dublin. The 1964 Aston Martin was originally Dick Green’s corporate car when he worked for the factory. He later discovered the car and restored it back to its original elegance later in his life. For a great family day come to the 2010 Danville Concours d’ Elegance. Your attendance and donations will help raise money to fight Parkinson’s. Taste wonderful wines from the surrounding wine country, bid on an outstanding collection of silent auction items and view some very rare and exotic automobiles. For information regarding the 2010 event and automobile registration, visit www.danville-delegance.org.

There will be no work permitted during holidays, Sundays, the LPGA Golf Tournament in October or other special events. Construction will start on September 30th, 2010, and the production rate is estimated to be from 50 feet per day to 250 feet per day. The total construction duration will be approximately one year from the starting date. The partners in constructing this pipeline wish to conduct operations so as to create the least possible obstruction and inconvenience to the public. Enforcement
will be provided to maintain traffic flow for those who travel these roads during their daily commutes and no road closures will be allowed. Lane closures in themselves will not exceed a quarter of a mile and roadway excavation will be conducted in such a manner as to provide a smooth and even surface for driving. All who are working on this project hope that providing a recycled water system to these regions will contribute to a green and healthy environment and a better quality of life.

100 girls in California who competed for the crown in their particular region were contending for the crown. Girls are judged based on Formal Wear, Personal Introduction Interview and Community Involvement. Girls compete in different age groups for the titles of Princess, Junior P r e - Te e n , P r e Teen, Junior Teen, and Teen and girls compete up to the age of 20. “National American Miss is not your ordinary pageant,” Alexandra Curtis said. “The organization focuses on the inner beauty and potential of the girl - this competition is not “looks” oriented. They are looking for a girl who represents her community and state with pride and honor, a girl who is poised and confident and knows who she is and what she wants in life, and someone who is friendly and kind who holds herself to her values.” Miss California Teen winner Ari Eastman will
be competing at nationals and will get the opportunity to meet girls from all over the United States. She says her ambition is to become a filmmaker and continue the humanitarian work that she has already started. Eastman works with The Fallen Heroes - a foundation benefiting families who have lost a loved one in the line of duty, Dogs 4 Diabetes, and is in the process of representing the charity organization Chelsea’s Hope at nationals this coming year. First runner-up Alexandra Curtis stated, “Placing in the top five in my state pageant has enabled me to represent the area of my choice,” Curtis said. “I have represented Danville, San Francisco, and this year I am choosing to represent Contra Costa County.” Curtis says her ambition is to become a network political analyst and she will be attending Syracuse University in the fall. Both Eastman and Curtis will be competing at nationals this November and hope to represent themselves and their hometown well.

Cucumbers are Cool by Ron Ottobre
“The cucumber is about as close to neutrality as a vegetable can get without ceasing to exist,” the well-known foodie Waverley Root exclaimed. But I’m sure that many would disagree, especially those of us who are fond of Mediterranean cuisine. Cultivated for over 3,000 years, they are a star in salads, make great appetizers, sauces, sandwiches and soups and are even good in desserts and cocktails. With a flavor that is floral, sweet and with a hint of bitterness, cucumbers are a great part of any summer menu course and are a great palate cleanser for those intensely flavored barbecues and strong flavored foods like lamb. As opposed to prevailing belief, cucumbers are a fruit, not a vegetable. This member of the Cucurbitaceae family, which includes melons, squashes and gourds, Cucumis sativus is a creeping vine normally grown on trellises. They are normally consumed in their green form before ripening. Cucumbers are ninety percent water, low in calories and carbohydrates and a good source of vitamins and minerals. In other words, a perfect food for those of us dieting.
actually look like a pickle. And speaking of pickles, there are many varieties that are grown just for that purpose. Cooking with Cucumbers Of course cucumbers are best peeled and seeded as the skin and seeds can cause some digestive problems, but the skin and seeds do contain many of the healthful benefits. If using in a recipe that does not require them to be pureed, such as in a salad or appetizer, never salt them first as this will draw out a large quantity of water. Cucumbers marry well with many herbs such as mint, basil, chervil, dill and parsley. They are great matched with anchovies, tomatoes, olives, cream cheese, goat cheese and feta. They can be baked,
sautéed or braised, but using them in recipes in their natural state is best – when it is hot outside cucumbers are cool. Le Menu Easy Cucumber Soup Classic Greek Salad Cucumber, Mint and Yogurt Proscuitto and Cream Cheese Stuffed Cucumber Cucumber Martinis

Stop the inflammation= Stop the Pain by Dr. Niele Maimone, DC
Varieties Garden cucumbers are the type we usually see in markets, smooth skinned and dark green. English cucumbers are long, thin, with a dark green skin and grow slightly curved. Kirby cucumbers are short and bumpy. They have a range of skin color from yellow to dark green. Lemon cucumbers are usually yellow, round, larger than a lemon and have a sweet tart flavor. Armenian cukes are actually not a true cucumber but a type of melon. They are long and bumpy but with a thin skin. The Persian variety is similar to English cucumbers, but much smaller with a bumpy thin skin and mild flavor, and they
When you got out of bed this morning, were you painfree? Or did your hips and knees ache? Did your hands ache as you brushed your teeth? Many of my patients dismiss these kinds of aches and pains, thinking they’re just normal signs of aging. The pain that you feel is your body’s way of telling you that it’s irritated and needs your help. Joint pain and inflammation — Most forms of joint pain involve some kind of inflammation — either local or systemic. When injured, a chain of events in your immune system known as the inflammatory cascade is triggered. This is what causes the redness, swelling and pain we often see with an acute injury. When this process, known as local or acute inflammation, turns on and then off in response to injury it’s a sign of a healthy immune system. Yet when the symptoms of inflammation don’t disappear, it tells us that
your immune system is unable to turn itself off when it should leading to a state of chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation is associated with a range of health conditions and degenerative diseases including asthma, allergies, skin problems, insulin resistance, type II diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, auto immune disorders and arthritis–to name a few. What causes chronic inflammation? 1. Blood Sugar Issues: A diet high in simple carbs, skipping meals or waiting too long between meals can cause insulin surges that, long-term, create a pro-inflammatory environment in the body. 2. D i g e s t i v e I s s u e s : Stress, poor food quality, drug and antibiotic use break down the digestive barrier allowing large particulate matter to seep into the blood stream, causing a cascade of inflammation resulting in pain and allergies.
1 tbsp. finely minced dill 1 tsp. Kosher salt 1 tsp. Tabasco 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce Thin sliced cucumber slices for garnish. Yogurt for garnish. Method: Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Yield 4-8 oz. portions Cucumber Martinis (Cucuatini) This is a very refreshing cocktail for those dog days of summer. Ingredients: 1 cucumber peeled, seeded and roughly chopped (2 to 3 oz.) 2 1/2 oz. Vodka – preferably from the freezer 1 tbsp. fresh squeezed lemon juice 2 tsp. sugar 2 mint leaves 1 cup of ice cucumber slices for garnish
3. Hormone Imbalance: Changing levels of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and cortisol all play a role in agerelated inflammation. 4. Toxic Stress: There are chemicals in our air, food, personal care items, home products and work environments that burden our detox pathways causing inflammation. 5. Psychological Stress: Chronic activation of the “fight or flight” response over- stimulates the endocrine system, leading to an inflammatory state. H ow d o I k n ow i f I have chronic inflammation? We can test the blood for inflammatory markers, such as CRP (C-reactive protein) to determine whether patients are likely to develop inflammatory conditions. Many conventional doctors aren’t sure how to treat elevated levels and end up avoiding these tests altogether. In our practice we recommend dietary changes, nutritional supplementation and physical modalities that can moderate these inflammatory markers. How do I begin to heal my pain and inflammation? 1. A d o p t a h e a l t h y diet rich in natural antiinflammatories. Eat small meals often and choose a diet of richly colored fruits and vegetables, lean proteins and omega-3 fatty acids.
Method: Pour vodka into a martini shaker, add cucumber, mint, s u g a r a n d l e m o n j u i c e. Muddle with a muddling stick, crushing the cucumber and mint together (I sometimes use a blender to crush the ice, mint, sugar together before I add the vodka and then strain). Add ice, shake vigorously and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with cucumber slices and mint leaves. For the complete article and more cucumber recipes, visit www.ValleySentinel.com.
2. E x p l o r e n a t u r a l therapies. Class IV laser pain relief naturally breaks the inflammatory cycle and releases endorphins (natural pain killers). Natural medicine, chiropractic, acupuncture and massage therapy also can be useful in natural pain reduction. 3. Heal digestive issues. By repairing the digestive tract, nutrients are properly absorbed and inflammation is relieved. 4. Rid your body of its toxic load with a detox diet. Removing toxic stress reverses inflammation. 5. R e d u c e s t r e s s . Exercise, meditation, therapy, yoga, prayer — there are so many ways you can relieve stress and lower inflammation markers in your blood. The beauty of stress reduction is that it’s never a waste of time — it serves you on every possible level. You certainly don’t have to live your life in pain. With some effort and time to heal, you will be doing the things you love and feeling like yourself again.

New Lymphoma Treatments: Tough on Cancer, Humane for Patients By Cannon Milani M.D.
Historically for lymphoma patients, treatment related toxicities could encompass symptoms of pain, shortness of breath and nausea. Fast forward to 2010 where new medications may make treating some lymphomas as simple as swallowing a pill. Unlike other major cancers, lymphoma doesn’t spread to the body’s lymph system. It starts there, which means chemotherapy and the side effects that come with it are almost always necessary to treat the disease.
Keep up with Local Happenings! Go to
ValleySentinel.com
Finding better treatments Fifteen years ago, the only approved options for treating lymphoma were chemotherapies that were toxic to both the cancer and unrelated cells and included long lists of significant side effects. In 1997, a medication called rituximab (Rituxan®) began to change the manner in which physicians treat lymphoma. U n l i ke c h e m o t h e ra p i e s, rituximab is targeted therapy. It binds to and destroys the cells responsible for 85 percent of non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
To d a y, r i t u x i m a b i s generally combined with new, less-toxic chemotherapies as the primary treatment for c e r t a i n l y m p h o m a s. Fo r some low-grade lymphomas, rituximab alone can effectively treat the disease. As a result, patients are experiencing fewer and milder side effects and outcomes are improving. An oral medication called lenalidomide (Revlimid®) is currently being researched and targets the same cells as rituximab, but instead of destroying them directly, keeps them from dividing. Unable to divide, the cells die off fairly quickly. Both medications affect their target cells whether they are healthy or cancerous, but new healthy cells are regularly created in the bone marrow. By taking the medication in cycles, the premise is that all of the cancerous cells will eventually be killed off and replaced by healthy cells. Despite the development o f a l t e r n a t e t re a t m e n t s, chemotherapies are still necessary. However, today’s chemotherapy treatments are already less toxic and have significantly less-severe side effects than those used in the past. Using modern chemotherapies along with novel, targeted treatments,

patients are seeing better outcomes with fewer side effects. Understanding the disease The lymph system acts as our body’s drain pipes. The liquid part of blood is called plasma, and as blood moves from our arteries to our veins, about 10 percent of this plasma gets left behind in the space between our tissues. The plasma that is left behind is called lymph, and it contains cell waste, bacteria, viruses and even cancer cells. The network of vessels, chambers, cells and organs that clean and transport the lymph back to our blood vessels is called the lymph system. Lymphoma is a group o f c a n c e rs t h a t s t a r t i n the lymph system. There are more than 50 different subtypes of lymphoma, and because the lymph system is spread throughout the body, lymphoma can occur almost anywhere, including bone marrow, the brain, spinal fluid, the spleen and even the tonsils.

Going Back to School When School is Somewhere New By Christina Lavingia
For many students, going back to school will no longer be as routine as it had been. While the thought of waking up from summer’s carefree bliss to that first early morning of school has often left kids wishing that summer would never end, starting college is an even stranger thought. Every year students know where they’ll be going: from kindergarten to first grade, elementary school to middle school, and from the stressful days of junior year to the glory of senior year – it’s always been so predictable. When it was time to apply for college, I started to feel the unfamiliarity of the waters we were entering. With the choice of college applications, we were also making the choice of where we want to live over the next four years, how difficult a school we want to attend, the types of people we want to surround ourselves with, and ultimately, how we want to start our lives. The comfort of where we’ve grown up, from knowing the location of every ice cream shop to how to get to all of our friends’ homes, makes us either embrace the thought of leaving for anywhere of our choosing or cower in fear of what actually lurks outside our hometown. We m a d e i t t h ro u g h those painstaking college applications and the even more paralyzing experience of hearing back from the schools that actually want us.
We walked at our graduations, which were more surreal than we’d expected them to be. It is now the end of our final summer at home, our final summer as kids, and the last moments before we start our new lives. No matter how much excitement one felt upon first applying to far off places and moving on, many of us spent this summer clinging to the way things used to be. As the day we say goodbye to our childhood approaches, almost everyone has been groping to prolong those sweet carefree years of childhood. Whether it’s a girl inspecting her old doll furniture after so many years, or a group of boys coming together to watch their favorite childhood shows, all of us have come to realize that this time we’ve spent waiting for life to start was really the best of times. With the thought of meeting new classmates and roommates, worrisome questions have come up:
Teens
how will I be able to trust these strangers? How will they understand me as my friends do? Will I be able to be comfortable around people I don’t know? There are the issues of how to structure the day in a new setting, how to find places to hang out and things to do. There is the need to figure out how to take care of one’s self. And how does one remedy homesickness? Although high school should prepare a student for college, there is no way to be fully prepared. We all have to dive in blindly, do our best, and remember that those back home will always be there for us. And as daunting as it will be to “go back to school” this year – even more so than the thought of catching that great big yellow bus after those summer months – the true gift our hometown has given us is the knowledge that it will always be there waiting for us; a place we can feel anchored to no matter where our lives take us. All we can do is take a leap and let the start of a new chapter begin.

Children Learn Through Creativity at Camp Galileo By Christina Lavingia
Kindergarten through fifth graders get the chance to explore the outdoors, art and science at Camp Galileo, a summer camp held at Green Valley Elementary School. Children in attendance learn through challenges and projects that pertain to a particular theme or period in history. As the camp progresses, campers learn about topics related to the ocean, medieval history, art and amusement park science, the ‘60s, the moon, Egypt and adventures in flight. Every day the campers are divided into groups based on age: kindergarteners make up one group, first through second graders make up another, and third through fifth graders make up the oldest group in attendance. Within the various age distinctions, the children are broken up

On September 25, the East Bay will once again have a historical moment when the National Park Service unveils a new full-scale exhibit of the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail (Anza Trail). This exhibit is the only National Park Service exhibit dedicated to the Anza Trail which began in today’s northern Mexico and went through Arizona to the delta in California. In 1775, Spanish Captain Juan Bautista de Anza led 250 settlers over 1,200 miles to Alta California. Traveling through deserts, shorelines, woodlands, grasslands and chaparral, the settlers founded and established the Mission and Presidio of San Francisco, the Mission in Santa Clara and the Pueblo of San José. Most settled in what is today the San Francisco Bay Area. Concord’s famed trail advocate George Cardinet

worked with the National Park Service to get the Anza Trail designated as a National Historic Trail in 1990. The trail and exhibit are particularly significant to the East Bay Regional Park District, whose lands were once part of or very close to the original trail. The present 15-mile paved Delta de Anza Regional Trail from Concord to Oakley is named in its honor. Superintendent of the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail, Naomi Torres is thrilled by the new opportunities for immersion in history and culture provided by the new exhibit. “Occupying over 500 square feet on the first floor of the Martinez Adobe, this permanent installation delves into the Anza Expedition, its people,and the legacy and impact of the voyage over hundreds of miles. This multi-sensory experience will engage visitors

and create new things,” says Chris Goetz, Area Director of Camp Galileo.“The arts and sciences are getting less attention in schools. Camp Galileo offers children an opportunity to imagine, be creative and work together.” Camp Galileo focuses on individual exploration during the art portion of the day, teamwork during the science portion, and communication and collaboration during the outdoor section. This week, as the students learned about the ocean, art projects included building a coral reef and seabird illustrations. In science, symbiosis and the physics of traction and friction were studied in relation to aquatic symbiotic relationships and the movement of a polar bear over ice. Each lesson has a story weaved into the curriculum to engage the students’ interest. Camp Director Brady Gill and Area Director Chris Goetz both believe in the necessity of making learning fun. Camp begins at 9am every morning and is commenced by graduates, many of them teachers or people interested in pursuing education as a career path. Team leaders are college students and interns are students in high school. All staff members involved with Camp Galileo have extensive experience with children. Camp Galileo was founded in 2002 in Palo Alto, California. This is the fourth year that Camp Galileo has been in this area and the second year that Camp Galileo has been located at Green Valley Elementary School in Danville.
an ambient soundscape, a detailed diorama portraying the vast scope of the expedition party and interactive displays. The exhibit encompasses perspectives representing the diversity of people whose lives were changed by this significant journey.” According to the National Park Service, the exhibit will help visitors experience the varied landscapes similar to those the expedition saw; learn the stories of the expedition, its members and descendants; better understand the American Indian role in the expedition and the diversity of their cultures; and appreciate the extent of the effects of Spanish colonial settlement of Arizona and California. The grand opening event on September 25 is from 10 am to 2 pm at the Martinez Adobe on the grounds of John Muir National Historic Site, 4202 Alhambra Blvd., Martinez. Festivities will include fun
The valley SenTinel family activities, live music and dance, and a celebration of the diversity of people whose lives were changed by the Anza Expedition. The day’s admission will be free in honor of National Public Lands Day. Beverly Lane is vicepresident of the East Bay Regional Park District Board of Directors.

2010 TOYOTA 4RUNNER TRAIL 4x4 V6 By David Colman
If JD POWERS gave an award for the best knob in the automotive business, it would go hands-down to the Toyota 4Runner. It’s not often that you can point to the lowly knob as a thing of surpassing beauty, but the five rotary controls spread across the 4Runner’s console are just that. Meaty and graspable, these knobs are serrated and rubberized for superior grip. The vernier dial on your old Macintosh tuner never worked this well. The knobs are emblematic of the abiding character of this stout truck. Unlike so many crossover products on the market today, which depend on flimsy car chassis to support truck-like bodywork, the 4Runner Trail steadfastly
refuses the invitation to the masquerade party. Even though the recent introduction of a completely redesigned
of its former self. Instead, the 2010 4Runner remains true to its mid-80s origins, with a separate body bolted
4Runner gave Toyota the opportunity to crossover to the dark side, the company refused to turn their iconic off-roader into a pantomime
to a pickup truck frame. You won’t find any independent suspension at the back end either, as the 4Runner retains the rugged solid rear axle of its predecessor. The good news is that the latest iteration still feels as cowboy as ever, with a jouncy but predictable gait that longs to be taken off road. You’ll still have to step up high when you climb into the 4Runner’s lofty cab, thanks to the aggressive stance imparted by the standard 17-inch alloy rims and beefy
Assurance
Dunlop Geotrek 275/70R17 tires. But once aboard, you’ll find all the amenities you’ve come to expect from a top line Toyota sedan, especially when you order the Voice-Activated Touch-Screen Navigation System (a $2,420 option), which also includes a 15 speaker JBL entertainment center. The high command seating position affords unimpeded visibility in all directions. The dashboard is as straightforward as a battle plan, with pie plate-sized tach and speedo dials dead ahead, and the aforementioned quintet of prize-winning knobs splayed across the center stack for easy radio and climate control. Rear seat accommodations are somewhat more sparse, but at least all four passengers have a door of their own to easy entry and exit. The big news underhood is the disappearance of the V8. The new top offering is the more economical V6, which displaces 4.0 liters and produces 270hp. Thanks to retention of the truck platform, the 4Runner’s tow rating is 5,000lbs. Although a 161hp in-line 4 remains the standard engine, you’ll want the optional V6 to deal with the curb weight of 4,850lbs. 4Runners are available in
3 grades of finish, with the base model, rear-wheel drive (RWD) SR5, 4 cylinder, starting at $28,355. You can also buy a V6 SR5 with RWD ($30,030) or AWD ($31,770). The best offroad equipment is found on the Trail version which retails for $36,555, and includes a locking rear differential, crawl control and hill start assist for those forays to the Rubicon Trail. If you want your 4Runner loaded with luxury, opt for the Limited model, in either RWD form ($38,620) or AWD ($40,655). Whichever you chose, you can rest assured that you are buying one of the most potent go-anywhere vehicles still available in a world that has mostly succumbed to offering cars that only look like trucks. 2010 TOYOTA 4RUNNER TRAIL 4x4 V6 ENGINE: 4.0 liter, DOHC 24 valve V6 HORSEPOWER: 270hp TORQUE: 278lb.-ft.
