Council approves sign ordinanceDespite receiving a petition signed by

approximately 60 citizens and local business owners urging a postponement of the deci-sion, the Oakley City Council voted on Tues-day night to adopt an ordinance that regu-lates how signs and outdoor advertising are displayed throughout the city.

Gene Buchholz, owner of Hook, Line & Sinker, told the council the adoption of the ordinance would be premature during the cur-rent recession. He said restricting the use of A-frame advertising would hurt business on Main Street, noting that he has already seen a decline at his shop and knows that many oth-ers are struggling as well.

Councilman Kevin Romick said he ap-preciated the input from local business own-ers who submitted feedback during a work-shop in July, but he believed now was the best time to put an ordinance in place and to move forward, considering that the previous ordinance, which Oakley adopted from the county when it incorporated, prohibited the use of A-frame signs altogether.

City Manager Bryan Montgomery said the new ordinance would set guidelines, rec-ognizing the necessity of A-frame signs as a form of advertising during the recession and establishing criteria for design and placement of the outdoor advertising.

“The existing ordinance that the city es-sentially inherited from the county specifi cally prohibits A-frame signs, which have been the topic of conversation in the workshop and

previous council sessions,” Montgomery said, “so the attempt here was to create an ordinance that would give greater clarity to the businesses and allow some things that we know are in practice – while we have not strict-ly enforced some of that code – to be prac-ticed with regulations. … We, as staff, would much rather have a new code that is clear, that provides for some of these things rather than having you (the council) tell us to enforce the existing code, which will prohibit many of the things that concern local businesses.”

Under the new ordinance, businesses may

display one A-frame sign with a maximum size of 15 square feet, and it may only be dis-played during business hours. This is a com-promise between the original draft and the input from business owners gathered at the July workshop. While business owners asked for two A-frame signs, the original draft re-stricted the use of A-frames only to business-es that were not located in a shopping center of six or more tenants. Now all businesses are entitled to an A-frame sign, but permits will

Local rancher passes Political contrasts at candidate forum

There is little philosophical difference between the fi ve Demo-crats seeking to represent the 10th Congressional District, which in-cludes Antioch and Oakley. And there’s little philosophical differ-ence between the six Republicans who are also seeking to fi ll the congressional seat vacated when Ellen Tauscher recently took a job in the U.S. State Department.

But there’s a chasm the size

of the Grand Canyon between the philosophies of the two par-ties on issues such as energy, im-migration, health care and foreign policy, as revealed in a candidate forum at St. Mary’s College Tues-day night. The only issue all of the candidates agreed on is the need for more fi scal responsibility in government spending.

The Third World becomes a special world

The intent behind Ryann Newman’s trip to the forests of Bosnia was to make a difference in the lives of others. But as Newman quickly discovered, the life that was most impacted was her own.

“I went into this really wanting to make an imprint on them (the people of Bosnia),” said Newman, 29. “But the im-print, I’ve learned, was really on me.”

The Oakley resident and Los Meda-nos College student has recently returned from a month abroad: two weeks in Bos-nia followed by another two weeks in Cro-atia as part of a group called International Student Volunteers, Inc.

The nonprofi t organization offers vol-unteer opportunities to students around the world in a variety of conservation and community development projects. Travel with a purpose is how the program is billed, and what’s different about the organization is that following a two-week volunteer stint, students have the option of continuing on for another two-week adventure tour in a nearby host country.

Newman, who chose Bosnia as her volunteer location largely because “I wanted to go to a place where I wouldn’t typically go,” spent two weeks clearing for-ests, building bridges and restoring trails. And despite the fact that the war there ended nearly 15 years ago, Newman said the people and the countryside still bear

the scars of the confl ict.“It’s a gorgeous, gorgeous country,”

said Newman. “but you can still see the ef-fects of the war: bullet holes in houses and missing parts of roofs, things like that. At

fi rst they (local residents) couldn’t under-stand why we were there – the concept of volunteering – because basically they work just to survive. But they were so kind to us, so accepting.”

Newman and her 11 co-workers stayed in a tiny town called Kakanj and made the trek each morning up the mountain to the Mehoric forest, where they spent the day clearing the forest of garbage (“they didn’t understand that a plastic bottle buried 20 years ago is still there”) and working side by side with forestry employees.

While the accommodations were primitive – no toilets, hot water or show-ers – the hospitality was fi rst-rate. Each day a woman who lived nearby would visit Newman’s group, bringing them food and materials to help them get acclimated to their surroundings. Even the mayor got into the act, said Newman, periodically sending people from the village up to the mountain with additional supplies.

“That was really appreciated,” said Newman. “Because it took us over an hour to get into town. People just couldn’t do enough for us; they were so gracious. I’ve made some friends there for life.”

And with no TVs, iPods or computers to distract them, Newman and her group had plenty of time to make friends. “We all became very close very quickly by shar-ing this experience,” she said. “We would spend hours just drinking coffee around the camp and talking. I had books that I brought and I didn’t even get to them.

“The fi rst couple of days were hard; I went in expecting hot water and showers and toilets, but got used to bathing in the

Red means stop – or is it yield? Driv-ers making a right-hand turn from

Discovery Bay Boulevard onto Willow Lake Road recently might have felt like they passed into the Twilight Zone. It seems the county and Public Works Department are in a push-me-pull-you predicament as to whether the turn

from DB Boulevard onto Willow Lake Road should be controlled by a stop sign or a yield sign. Over the past few weeks the signs have changed so often that drivers have been stopped and ticketed for going through a stop sign that the day before was a yellow yield. Frustration abounds, but hope springs eternal that the powers that be will eventually become of one mind – or at least one sign.

Citizens of Oakley and neighboring communities came out big time to

support Ally Jenkins on Monday night during a fundraiser at Oakley’s Black Bear Diner. Nearly $12,000 was raised

– the sandwiches sold out in just two hours – to support the Oakley teen stricken with pulmonary hypertension on July 27 and remains in intensive care at UCSF. Special T-shirts have been made to raise money for Ally’s trust fund. The shirts, which cost $15, are available at the Diner, located at 3201 Main St. Also on sale are special wrist-bands, and a custom-made Johnny Cash afghan blanket, on display at the Diner, is being raffl ed off as well. The fund-raising continues all this month at Yogurt Pizazz in Brentwood. For more information, visit www.caringbridge.org/visit/allyjenkins.

Did you know that the YMCA practically invented basketball, volley-ball, softball, camping, adult educa-tion, Boy Scouts, Father’s Day and much more? It’s true: the YMCA has been around for 165 years – and more than 50 years in Contra Costa County.

My name is Bob Wollenzien and I have spent more than 35 years in the YMCA movement, recently taking on the responsibility of developing and expanding services in East County. Although the YMCA in East County is focused primarily in Oakley and An-tioch, we’re looking to reach out into the Pittsburg, Brentwood, Knightsen and Discovery Bay communities. The YMCA’s current facility, slated for expansion, is located in Oakley and is available to all East County residents.

What are the needs of our com-munities? The YMCA is in the process of asking residents and business lead-ers that question. The Mount Diablo Region YMCA is conducting a needs assessment as it relates to a strategic planning process to help provide a direction for the YMCA over the next fi ve years. Although the YMCA does plan on running programs such as aquatics, youth sports, childcare, health and wellness in most if not all

of East County, programs such as job training, ESL, healthy cooking and affordable after-school programs could all be part of new opportunities and programs.

As you can tell from our mis-sion statement – “The Mount Diablo Region YMCA is a values-based as-sociation founded on Judeo-Christian principles, dedicated to enriching the lives of all people through programs that strengthen the spirit, mind and body” – the YMCA is a broad and diverse organization. Our programs are developed and created based on the needs of the people and commu-nity we serve – that’s what makes the YMCA unique. Program development has and will continue to be part of our history.

What are your needs and those of your community? If there’s a gap, think about the Y. We will work with you to help meet those needs.

What can you expect in the next fi ve years? An Expanded YMCA facil-ity, diverse programs in ALL of East County, a YMCA that’s the hub of the community, a safe place for children, teens, adult and seniors. Please contact us at 925-625-9333 for more informa-tion on the YMCA and its programs.

Lake Tahoe – the odyssey of a name

How many know that a famous Brentwood-Byron pioneer, Robert Dean, was responsible for naming Lake Tahoe?

Dean was born in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. in 1831. Arriving in California in 1850, he fi rst tried his luck in the gold fi elds. By 1853 he was working in the Brentwood area as a haying hand on Dr. John Marsh’s huge Rancho Los Meganos. In 1854, Dean was collecting blueberries along the banks of the San Joaquin River near Stockton when a giant grizzly at-tacked. Only the arrival of friends saved his life. The bear was killed but only af-ter Dean’s abdomen was ripped open by the enraged beast. Dean spent the next six months recovering from his dreadful wounds.

Dean eventually returned to the gold fi elds, ran a hotel in the Sierras, and par-ticipated in the famous Comstock silver rush. He returned to Brentwood in 1870 and worked for the Balfour-Guthrie and McNear grain interests. As a business-man, banker and newspaper writer, Dean was well known throughout the county. This article is largely based on his per-sonal papers that were recently donated to the Contra Costa History Society. In his own handwriting, there is a detailed description of how Lake Tahoe received its name. These notes were the basis for a

short article that appeared in a 1908 edi-tion of Sunset Magazine

In 1852 the state legislature received word that a large, ill-prepared party of

immigrants were attempting to cross the Sierra. Money was hastily appropriated and the Democratic governor, John Bi-gler, quickly dispatched supplies to the

Sierra. Bigler and friends arrived in the Tahoe basin with the supply-laden pack train. In those early days, Lake Tahoe was informally known as “Mountain Lake.” The governor and his friends took the op-portunity to enjoy the valley’s excellent fi shing and hunting.

Evidently the behavior of our poli-ticians has changed little in 150 years. Although in reality it was the California taxpayers who were responsible, the gov-ernor had few problems accepting the credit from the grateful immigrants. Big-ler’s large party then proceeded to Hang-town (later known as Placerville). A large, festive banquet was held in appreciation of the immigrants’ rescue. After the par-ticipants had swallowed numerous toasts, one of the governor’s friends proposed that Mountain Lake be renamed “Bigler Lake.” The well-oiled crowd enthusiasti-cally adopted this suggestion.

For the next 10 years, “Bigler Lake” went unchallenged. With the outbreak of the Civil War, Bigler was revealed as a strong Southern, pro-slavery sympa-thizer and an active participant in a plot to separate California from the Union. In 1862, Dean was the manager of a popu-lar resort hotel beside Bigler Lake, and a staunch Republican and strong Lincoln supporter. He became increasingly upset that this beautiful lake was named after

Lake Tahoe would be known today as Bigler Lake if not for the efforts of Brentwood-area resident Robert Garwood Dean, seen here in around 1920 with his wife, Jerusha. Dean led the effort to change the lake’s name because of the pro-slavery, pro-Southern posture of its original namesake, Gov. John Bigler.

MORE “PHANTOM INCOME” ISSUES

I’ve been doing more research into the issue surrounding tax owed on “phantom income” in regards to cancelled debt. This is where you may owe ordinary income tax on any debt you owe that is cancelled. This is something of a hot topic these days with all the people going through short sales, foreclosures, or loan modifications. [I’ve mentioned this many times before, but it’s worth repeating. There is an exclusion to paying this tax if you are insolvent, which means your debts exceed your assets.]

I discovered two items of interest recently. One I should have been aware of, the other was not quite so obvious.

The first one is that cancellation of debt income is NOT just for mortgage debt. So this means if you have HOA dues that are forgiven, or property taxes, or any other bill that is cancelled or forgiven, you may have “phantom income” tax due. I think most of us in real estate assume that the phantom income situation deals only with the loans on your home, but it is much

broader than that, unfortunately. So this can apply at any point in your life if you have a car loan cancelled, student loan forgiven, etc. There is an exclusion if the lender intended to cancel this debt as a “gift” to you. So if your debt was owed to a relative, you might be able to make the gift exclu-sion work if that was their intent, but that may cause other wrinkles in regards to their estate and gift taxes.

I’ll talk about the second issue I just discovered in my next article. It is some-thing that may cause the phantom income tax issue hang over your head for years to come.

Please see the appropriate tax/legal expert for advice in regards to your specific situation.

Not sure 50’s so niftyFor all you youngsters out there – and

by “youngster” I mean anyone under the age of 49 – this column might not interest you. It’s a horror story really, because the day you wake up and realize you are a half-century old, you are consumed by a spine-tingling, blood- chilling, nauseating sensation.

Fifty sneaks up on you. Cliches like “Where did the time go?” and “Is this it?” suddenly apply to your life! I guess spending 20 years raising kids, trying to keep your marriage together and juggling bills and mortgage payments keeps you in such a frenzy of activity that

one day you wake up and you’re old! I have about two weeks left before the fateful day of reckoning.

My teenagers are reveling in the glory of it all. They know I am petrifi ed. They count down the moments and love to twist the knife. “Can you believe you’re going to be fi fty, Mom?” they ask with cruel delight in their eyes. “Can you be a grandma at 50?”

“Yes,” I secretly say to myself, but pray that my daughters don’t make it so. Yet.

My sons try to make me feel better by saying I look good “for my age.” Don’t you hate that little add-on? What should 50 look like, anyway? Phyllis Diller? I fi nd I’m spending more time staring at my face in the mirror with my reading glasses on. As I view the fright fest, I vow to get a second job and get all the expensive treatments avail-able at my dermatologist’s offi ce. I make a note to buy really good vitamins and apply sunscreen daily.

My husband turned 50. He doesn’t seem concerned at all! I guess men like wrinkles and dry skin. Perhaps it’s a sign of power and hard work. He still whistles and

seems content with himself. (I must say he did stop whistling for a moment the day he received his AARP card in the mail).

I want to know who gave my name to the Scooter Store. Why do I keep getting their e-mails offering free fi nancing for a Scooter Chair and a free “Handy Grabber”? What is a Handy Grabber? Why, it’s that clever claw-like contraption that allows you to grab things like, oh I don’t know, maybe denture cream off the counter while sitting in your Scooter Chair! Ahhhhh!

I’m beginning to glance over my shoulder, expecting to see the grim reaper standing there. In a panic, I’m wearing younger and younger clothes. I expect that soon I’ll be shopping at The Children’s Place. Seriously, last week I bought a beach cover-up at Justice for Girls in size 16 (their largest size.) Pathetic! I am fi nding younger and younger men attractive. I fl irted with a 20-year-old kid at a skate shop. He was probably really creeped out. Hey, can I be arrested for that?

At 50 you are also encouraged to put yourself through a lot of grueling and hu-miliating medical tests. Katie Couric scared the heck out of me with her story about her poor husband dying of colon cancer. Tragic. So I thought I would get it over with. I know I had the delightful procedure done at a hos-pital, but quite honestly I think it was really Roto-Rooter! By the way, I will never eat lemon Jello again, as that is the only thing you can eat the day before the procedure. I ate two large serving bowls of it. Blah!

My 7-year-old daughter recently put it all in perspective for me. I still lie with her at night before she falls asleep. I don’t mind. I love gazing at her soft and dewy line-less face. Her long lashes and rosy lips. As I was admiring her, she asked, “Can you look this way? I want to see your beautiful face.” As she dozed off I realized that to her, I will always be beautiful, no matter how old I am. Maybe turning 50 isn’t so scary after all.

HANGIN’ INTHERE

VICKI MCKENNA

a Lincoln hater and active Confederate sympathizer.

During the long evenings, sitting around the hotel’s fi replace, the hotel resi-dents discussed the bloody events on the Eastern battlefi elds. Dean and his guests decided that the least that they could do for the Union cause was to rid California of this monument to Bigler’s rebel memory.

After a few drinks to lubricate their imaginations, they agreed that the best name would be the one used by the Na-tive Americans who lived near the lake. The next day, Dean visited Captain Jim, leader of the local Walker River Indians. Captain Jim told Dean that the tradi-tional name for the lake was “Tahoo” or

“big water.” When Dean reported back to his friends and guests, the Indian name was adopted by unanimous consent. It was decided that the lake would now be known as “Lake Tahoo.”

With the approval of his friends, Dean wrote to the Republican editors of the Sacramento Union, at that time one of the most infl uential newspapers in the state. The newspaper embraced his sug-gestion and published a fi ery editorial supporting the new name for the Sierra lake. Other pro-Union newspapers took up the cause. The patriotic and gener-ally pro-Union public very quickly ac-cepted the new name. However, there was one slight accident. Due to a typo in the Union’s original editorial, the lake now became known throughout California as “Lake Tahoe” rather than “Lake Tahoo.”

However, as it turned out, the fi ght over naming Lake Tahoe was far from over. After the Civil War, the Republican Party split over nominating a gubernato-rial candidate. John Bidwell was defeated at the 1867 Republican nominating con-vention by an unpopular candidate from Southern California. The Republicans were in disarray, which led to a subse-quent sweep of the state house and legis-lature by a resurgent Democratic Party.

Revenge was sweet for the jubilant Democrats. One of the fi rst items on their political agenda was to erase the Republi-can insult to the memory of their beloved Bigler. After a short but intense lobbying campaign, the legislature overwhelmingly passed a bill offi cially renaming the mag-nifi cent body of water “Bigler Lake.”

Offi cial state documents and maps were soon published referring to the giant lake as “Bigler Lake.” Nevertheless, the general public wisely ignored the com-mand of the state legislature. Within a few years the “Bigler Lake” name was forgot-ten. The Republican-dominated federal government also ignored the Democratic name change. On federal topographic and geologic maps, “Lake Tahoe” continued as the primary, recognized name.

In 1870, Dean returned to Brentwood and was made superintendent of the old Marsh Rancho, where he had once worked as a haying hand. He also became a suc-cessful banker and grain shipper, build-ing warehouses in Brentwood and Byron. Perhaps his most enjoyable personal ac-tivity was as a part-time correspondent for the Byron Times. He wrote a gossipy, weekly column (the “Rye-patch Gang”) that poked fun at the foibles of the local citizens. He was proud of his historic role in naming Lake Tahoe. On April 14, 1920 Dean died, a famous and beloved local pioneer who had seen the transition of California from a primitive, raw frontier to a state fi lled with prosperous farms and modern cities.

It should be noted that the act re-naming the water body as “Bigler Lake” has never been offi cially rescinded by our state legislature. Therefore, diehard Dem-ocrats will probably continue to enjoy the great snowboarding at Bigler Lake. The few remaining California Republicans will likely prefer the skiing at Lake Tahoe.

Brentwood children can show their creative side during a free 45-minute pro-gram on Wednesday, Aug. 19 at the First Five Center, where participants will make musical crafts and enjoy a hands-on en-counter with percussion instruments.

Scientifi c studies have repeatedly proven that exposure to music benefi ts children. A 2003 Chinese study found im-proved verbal skills in musically-trained grade-school children, while the Dana Arts and Cognition Consortium an-nounced in 2008 that young musicians also demonstrate improved mathemati-cal skills. A Brown University study con-ducted with 4-to-6-year-olds reinforced

these fi ndings, revealing that children who participated in a year of music lessons showed greater improvement in literacy, math, verbal memory and attention to de-tail than those who did not take lessons.

The First Five program is sponsored by the Friends of the Brentwood Library and is designed for children in grades K through six, although younger children are welcome if accompanied by an adult.

First Five Center is located at 760 First St. at the corner of First and Maple streets, and the show starts at 4 p.m. For more information, call the Brentwood Li-brary at 925-516-5290 or visit www.ccclib.org.

Byron schools get high-tech upgrades

Last month as students soaked up the dog days of summer, staff at the Byron Union School District (BUSD) were hopping onto the Information Highway.

“What we’ve had here in Byron (school district) is an un-standardized (computer) program,” said BUSD Su-perintendent Eric Prater. “All we’ve really had is an aging system with no plans to upgrade or improve.”

But thanks to a forward-thinking school board and Measure C bond dollars, the district now boasts $1.3 million in computer upgrades, along with a technology called Thin Computing.

Thin Computing is a system-based server that re-places the PC (personal computer) and accompanying CPU (Central Processing Unit). With Thin Computing, users simply plug into an outlet, which in turn connects them to a server. The only physical items needed are a monitor, keyboard and mouse (referred to collectively as virtual desktop technology). So with no individual CPU connections, management and service issues are more easily handled; the logic being that it is more cost-effec-tive to manage a few servers rather than thousands of desktop PCs.

And, said Prater, should an individual component of the desktop technology – such as a keyboard or monitor – break down, the entire system can be replaced for less than $200.

“Economically it’s a no-brainer and was a critical piece of the component,” said Prater, who estimates the district saved nearly double the cost of the upgrades with Thin Computing. “If we had gone with CPUs, the cost of setting up and tending to them (individual comput-ers) would have been impossible. This is a cost savings in

many ways.”Over the past few months, WYSE Technology Inc.

has been installing the new technology at all three cam-puses, including a server at each site, three new computer labs (with 10 times the current storage capacity) at Excel-sior Middle School, and subsequent labs – one each – at Discovery Bay Elementary and Timber Point.

In addition, each of the district’s 100 classrooms will provide four permanent virtual desktops. The district has also purchased instructional stations for all the teachers, which includes digital projection cameras that operate much like regular overhead projectors. Students will also be able to create their own central storage fi les, which al-low them to log on at any of the school’s sites to access their personal fi les and information.

“We are one of the fi rst school districts in the state to invest in this technology and we’re pretty excited,” said Prater. “It’s pretty snazzy.”

Currently 75 percent on line, the rest of the system is expected to be up and running within the next few weeks.

But for the students in Louise Colbert’s math lab at Excelsior, the new technology has already begun to make a difference. “This (new math computer program) is easier for me,” said seventh-grader Alma Vidrio as she worked on one of the new upgraded computers. “It helps me get better at math and I can go at my own pace.”

“We are so happy to have it (the new lab and upgrad-ed programs) as a math support,” said Colbert, who is also the district’s technology coordinator. “This helps fi ll in the gaps for the kids, and is also a confi dence builder.”

For Prater’s part, he’s satisfi ed that the $1.3 million of the $19.7 million Measure C dollars have been imple-mented in the spirit of the bond language.

“When I came on board with the district (in 2008), the board asked me to re-calibrate the intent of the bond

itself,” said Prater. “Measure C was designed to improve the infrastructure both technically and physically of the district, and the (school) board felt that we would im-prove access for students and teachers by bringing the district into the 21st century technologically.

“So that’s what we did. We improved a two-lane country road and turned it into an eight-lane highway – an information highway. It’s pretty cool stuff.”

Heritage English teacher Elizabeth Cruz-Hurtado, center, stands with Liberty TLC teachers Karen Cailotto and Kandy Aldana outside her new classroom.

When Elizabeth Cruz-Hurtado en-tered Liberty High School as a ninth-grader, she didn’t think of herself as a good student, and had no college aspi-rations. She thought she’d follow in her family’s tradition and go straight in to the job market.

“The teachers at Liberty’s Teaching and Learning Career Academy (TLC) changed all that for me by helping me believe in myself,” Liz told a group of academy students, “and they can change it for you, too. I know I can help my fam-

ily more with a career I love and a college degree.”

Cruz-Hurtado attended one of LUHSD’s career academies that provide small educational communities on campus and focus studies to prepare students for college and career aspirations. Thriving in this environment, Cruz-Hurtado became active at school and received eight schol-arships, including a Brentwood American Legion Scholarship, a Brentwood Kiwanis

Veterans come together in classroomThe two men couldn’t be much differ-

ent. One is a robust fellow of 39 who soars well above 6 feet tall, tips the scales at 325 pounds, and whose face exudes confi dence and strength. The other is a diminutive 91-year-old whose fragile frame is bent by the years, and whose knowing eyes gaze out from a weathered face lined with age.

The study in contrast came together last week in Fran Curtis’ classroom at the Joseph A. Ovick School in Brentwood. Sponsored by the Contra Costa County Offi ce of Educa-tion, the two men were there not because of their differences, but for something they had in common: war.

The elder man was Retired U.S. Army Sgt. Vincent Silva, a survivor of World War II’s infamous Bataan Death March of 1942 and prisoner of the Japanese for three and a half years. Students sat transfi xed as they heard stories of torture and abuse at the hands of his captors. Delivered in detail that surprised the students, Silva’s message was also more upbeat than they expected.

“He remembered everything, even though he’s 91,” said Lavonce Juarez. “And he kept giving us a positive message, telling us to stay in school.”

Chris Maldonado said he was surprised that Silva wasn’t bitter toward all Japanese, considering the torture he had endured. “He said that not all Japanese were bad,” he said. “It was just the people they were fi ghting at

the time.”The younger of the two men was Army

Reservist Maj. Eric Boettcher, who recently returned from Iraq with his second Bronze Star. As the chief of operations of the Mosul Reconstruction Operations Center, Boettcher assisted the Mosul government with its re-building efforts and oversaw humanitarian as-sistance. He’s been deployed to various parts of the world four times (twice to Iraq), but nevertheless impressed the students with how ordinary he was.

“He’s just a regular guy,” said Julie Es-quivel. “He has to have a job here, too, and take care of his family.”

Boettcher said he told the students about his experiences because he believes it’s his duty.

“My calling and my responsibility as a re-turning veteran is to tell them the real stories, the real successes our soldiers do out there,” he said. What American troops accomplish is done with not only the spiritual support of those at home, but the materials donated to the cause as well. Much of what is sent over-seas contributes to the troops’ well being by allowing them to provide day-to-day needs to the people of Iraq, and in order to keep the donations fl owing, he said, “I need to get out and tell my story.” He credited the East Coun-ty community for the many donated supplies that he and his unit used to help the people of Mosul.

The classroom meeting was actually the second for the two veterans. The previous weekend, they had been the guests of Brent-

wood Café owner Paul Boulos, who hosted a welcome-home breakfast for Boettcher that was also a thank-you meal for Silva. It was there that Curtis, himself a veteran of Viet-nam, met the men and invited them to his classroom.

“I think they (students) were really shocked at the education level” of the two, Curtis said. In addition to the exhortations to stay in school, the students’ education will also benefi t from the visit via Silva’s donation of a copy of his book “Senso Owari,” which docu-ments his ordeal. Curtis will use the book in his English class as an alternative selection for Character-based Reading, in which students are presented with real-life challenges that will or can be altered by their choices in life.

Mom says thanksEditor:

I want to take this time to thank everyone who participated at the Black Bear fundraiser (for Freedom student Ally Jen-kins). Jimmy and Brenda, we love you! And all those who helped them … you mean everything to us.

I’ve received pictures today from the evening as well as pictures from Freedom today as students sported their pink and white T-shirts and wristbands. Again, all of this is so overwhelming and humbling to Jeff, Corey and me. I refer to all of you here at UCSF as my prayer warriors. My strength. I lift all of you up in prayer and I’m so grateful to each and every one of you.

I can’t wait for the day to bring my baby home. I can picture it now. Driving across the Bay Bridge on a beautiful sunny day. Looking at Ally smiling, breathing in the air. Reaching our town of Oakley with our wonderful friends, family and neighbors there. I can’t wait to hug each and every one of you!

Pray for a miracle!Vickee Jenkins

Calling for a gate debateEditor:

I was told last weekend about the two-gates “Fish Protection” Project to install two large water gates within the next 90 days, which will automatically close two of the key waterways between Bethel Island and Discovery Bay, six hours at a time, twice a day during the winter.

My husband and I live in Discovery Bay – a Delta waterfront community. We are here because we love the Delta. Our weekends and vacations involve traveling by boat to various areas of the Delta – Bethel Island, Stockton, Sacramento – and we can continue down to San Francisco or beyond. Unlike people who jump in their cars on weekends to go on an outing or for a drive,

our waterways are our roads that take us to our weekends on the water. We chose to build our retirement home in Discovery Bay due to its access to the beautiful Delta.

But these gates will cut off our access! Currently we have year-round 24x7 access from Discovery Bay to the Delta and beyond. But once these two gates are in po-sition, the only route from Discovery Bay to elsewhere in the Delta requires larger boats to go through the Bacon Island Bridge, which only operates from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and breaks periodically.

Today, if we miss the bridge hours or if the bridge has a maintenance issue and can’t open (which happens several times a year), we can take a different route. And in the evening, we can get still home by going from the San Joaquin channel down Old River to Discovery Bay. But these are the waterways these gates are going to block!

Plus adding big obstructions to heavily traveled waterways is a bad idea. These are some of the best waterways for skiers and wakeboarders. And the only route between Discovery Bay and Bethel Island. And there are safety questions. Will there be suffi cient notice of the gates being closed? Are the gate openings wide enough that there will be no damage to big boats coming through the opening during storms or in the fog, at night? Has the effect on the levee walls due to holding back the tide been studied?

And economic questions. Will our home values decrease due to obstructed access to the Delta? How will marinas in this area be affected? And the neighboring community of Bethel Island depends on Discovery Bay patrons for its economy: res-taurants, marinas. What will be the impact to that area due to limited access to areas on the other side of these gates for bass fi shing and other events? Many questions.

The stated goal of this project is to protect the endangered smelt, but I’m strug-gling getting that keeping fi sh from their fresh water spawning grounds is “protect-ing” them in some environmentally friendly way. What’s impacting them is the poor water quality and getting caught in the pumps. The best option is to shut down the pumping stations a few times in the winter during spawning season, which also im-proves the Delta water quality dramatically. But the water companies want more water, not less pumped out.

We need answers to questions about boater safety, reliability (will they stay open all summer reliably?), usability (since hours of operation cannot be posted), etc. before this project proceeds. Most importantly, there needs to be a reliable plan for 24/7 ac-cess to Discovery Bay!

Impediments to important workEditor:

I am responding to the letter by Frank Visintin entitled “Money better spent on

Red Cross.” Mr. Visintin states that the DBPOA is being audited by the IRS. Yes, Frank and I wonder who called and asked them to audit us (hmm). Also, if you are a consultant, you should know that money from the DBPOA cannot be given the Red Cross.

Mr. Visintin asks, what does the DB-POA do? The DBPOA is governed strictly by the CC&Rs that every homeowner signs when they purchase a home in the associa-tion. There is no rocket science here. Read your copy of the document, Frank.

He brings up the recent resignations from the board. The board members, who are volunteers, are elected for a two-year term. Several board members resigned be-cause of the constant barrage of harassing e-mails with unfounded accusations against the board by a small group of residents, Mr. Visintin in particular. The treasurer resigned because she moved from Discovery Bay to a new job location.

As a result of the time and money it has cost the association to answer frivo-lous charges, many that date back to the 1980s and 1990s, we have had to manage our budget by cutting inspections in half, yet complaints continue to come in from residents and they are frustrated with the lag time in receiving a response. Our cost for insurance, which is required by the state, is between $10,000 and $14,000 per year. We also spend a lot of money on witness fees, mailing fees and legal fees generated by this band of malcontents. This has a serious impact on the ability of the board to serve the association as they are elected to do.

I recently attended a court proceeding as an observer. During a break, I was con-fronted by Mr. Tony Sellers in the restroom. He proceeded to make threats and slander-ous accusations toward me of a personal nature. A gentleman who knows Mr. Sellers apologized to me for his behavior. Mr. Sellers then proceeded to run out of the restroom and leave the premises. This is just one example of what the board has had to deal with on an ongoing basis.

It is clear that the actions of the above-named individuals are aimed at bankrupt-ing the DBPOA and seeing it dissolved. They do not speak for the majority of the association members and I hope that those who appreciate the efforts of the DBPOA will speak out against these malcontents. It is time the hard-earned money of the association members went to what it was intended per the CC&Rs. Be sure to vote in the upcoming elections. If you do not vote, there may be further cuts.

It can always be worseEditor:

I came within minutes of losing my husband of 35 years to bladder surgery gone wrong. It’s been two years and 11 months since this nightmare began and

seven months since his surgery.I walked him in that morning with my

gut telling me to take him home; do it an-other day. I, of course, did not. From start to fi nish it all went wrong; things I never imagined. After 11 hours, his surgeon said he was fi ne and wouldn’t be out of recovery for hours. He told us there was nothing we could do and to go home get some sleep. Fifteen minutes after I arrived home (a 40 minute drive) I received a call requesting me and my sons to return. He’d taken a turn for the worse.

I was informed he wouldn’t make the night. I ran in the ICU room to them trying to save his life. I have never cried so many hours or days in my entire life. He was on life support for weeks, only to come home and three days a week have kidney dialysis, home nurse, ER stays, etc.

He’s a proud and private man and not once has he complained through these seven months of hell. To end it all, as of today he fi nished up months of chemo. I feel he has angels looking after him; we were told Friday he’s a walking miracle. But never say to yourself it couldn’t get worse because I’m here to tell you it can.

See, I was grocery shopping last week and behind me was a young man in his early 20s. After conversing with him, he is one of our heroes, a soldier who came home para-lyzed. My heart sank as I thought to myself: he’s just a baby. His smile lit up the aisle. How dare I complain when there is always someone worse off than I?

Organized and fighting backEditor:

Many residents of Shadow Lakes and Brentwood Hills celebrated the 26th annual National Night Out (NNO) on Aug. 4. They participated in neighborhood porch vigils, walks, barbecues and socials. NNO (www.nationalnightout.org/nno/about) is designed to “strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnership and to send a message to criminals that communi-ties are organized and fi ghting back.”

We would like to thank Mayor Taylor, Police Chief Evenson, Council Member Becnel, CSO Michele Keady and Brent-wood police offi cers for taking time out of their demanding schedule to support our NNO efforts. They attended all of our NNO neighborhood gatherings and spent time talking to the residents.

We would also like to thank the many residents who participated. We all had a great time! Shadow Lakes/Brentwood Hills Neighborhood Watch. The Steering Committee co-chairs are Dani Colbasso, Aida Handt, Jennifer Fernandez, Linda Nakaji and Laurel Wilson. You may e-mail SLBHNW at shadowlakeswatch@yahoo.com.

ANTIOCH

Aug. 4, 11:19 p.m. A 25-year-old An-tioch resident was driving through the intersection of East 18th Street and Cavallo Road when she was startled by a loud boom. She thought she might have run over something in the road-way and pulled into the Save Mart on East 18th Street. She saw gasoline leaking from her car and called the Antioch Police Department. Upon arrival, officers found a bullet hole in the rear of her car. She did not see anyone in the area when she heard the noise, but neighbors reported hearing several gunshots and cars speeding away. No suspects were identified, and the woman was not injured.

Aug. 8, 1:58 a.m. Officers of the An-tioch Police Department responded to the report of a fight and an in-jured man on Gardenia Court. Upon arrival, officers found a 29-year-old male Pittsburg resident unconscious at the scene suffering from injuries to his face. He was transported by ambu-lance to the hospital. It was discovered that the man had been dealt extensive head injuries and was in critical con-dition. Antioch Police have identified 30-year-old David Moreno Stokes as the person responsible for the assault. Stokes is currently on parole for cor-poral injury to a spouse or cohabi-tant. He is believed to be at large in the Bay Area and has an extensive vio-lent criminal history. Shannon Marie Kaiser, 30, was identified as the owner of the house where the crime took place. A search of the house revealed approximately 45 grams of metham-phetamine and paraphernalia used to prepare methamphetamine for distri-bution. Antioch police were also able to determine that Kaiser transported Stokes from the scene. Kaiser refused to disclose this to police, and misled police about many aspects of this case, including the identity of Stokes, whom she has known for many years. She has been charged with possession of meth-amphetamine for sale and for aiding and abetting a felon. Those who spots Stokes should contact their local juris-diction by calling 911, and those with information regarding this case should contact Antioch Police Det. Mellone at 925-779-6930.

river very quickly. It was so peaceful; we would go to sleep listening to the river below us. I slept so well every night.”

When it came time to leave for the last leg of their trip to Croatia, Newman said she was torn.

“If I had had the option of going on the va-cation to Croatia or staying in Bosnia, I would defi nitely have stayed. It was hard to leave.”

But after making the eight-hour bus ride to the city of Debrovnik, situated on the shores of the Adriatic Sea, Newman managed to adjust.

“Once we arrived, we hopped onto our private yacht, where we were fed three amazing

meals a day and took lots of day trips to rock climb, visit the local caves and tour the muse-ums,” she said. “It was defi nitely different from Bosnia. It was very luxurious.”

But once she arrived home, the culture shock was even more glaring.

“It was sad to come home and see all these Wal-Marts and to realize how we can do with so much less,” said Newman. “I’ve been inspired to clean out my closets and donate items I’m no longer using or need. The trip defi nitely changed me. I’m happy to be home, but I miss where I was; I miss the people and the countryside and the quiet. It was an amazing experience, one I will never forget.”

The scholarships, combined with student loans, allowed Cruz-Hurtado to attend St. Mary’s College, where she earned Dean’s List honors every semester. Four years later, after graduating from St. Mary’s summa cum laude, she’s convinced she can perform any task facing her, and is return-ing to LUHSD to teach English

at Heritage High School.According to Liberty TLC Di-

rector Kandy Aldana, “Expectations at our academy are extremely high, and Liz was a model TLC student. She even comes back every year to encourage our new students.”

TLC teacher Karen Cailot-to echoed Aldana’s sentiments: “Within these four walls, magic will happen. She (Cruz-Hurtado) is going to change the lives of ev-ery student lucky enough to walk through that door.”

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage MattersBy Trevor Frey

Streamline 203(k)

– Advertisement

With roughly 180 homes for sale in Brent-wood, and nearly 100 fewer in neighboring Dis-covery Bay, our local real estate market is saturated with buyers but missing a crucial element – inven-tory. It doesn’t help matters that many homes for sale are shells of what they once were, torn apart by the previous owners out of anger and frustra-tion. Th ese previously proud owners were forced to view their home as the bank does – simply a number on a spreadsheet – and made a business decision to make money where they could. Left in their wake now stand homes not more than three years old missing sinks, stoves, lighting fi xtures, water heaters, air conditioning units, even the furnace out of the attic in the worst cases.

For would-be buyers these homes aren’t an option…why pay for a home only to then pay to repair the home is their rationale. Many times, to those in the dark about the Streamline 203(K), these cases turn into a three step process: fi nd fi nancing to purchase the home; fi nd fi nancing for the work needed to repair the home; and then fi nd permanent fi nancing in the form of a mortgage to fi nish off the project. However, before cutting homes in need of rehabilitation off of your list, or struggling to fi nd loan options, consider the highly under used, but yet highly ef-fective, Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Streamline 203(k).

Homes that require under $35,000 in non-structural repairs are eligible for this oft en overlooked product, and, according to Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing to the Federal Housing Commissioner, the FHA Streamline 203(k) program can be used to replace/repair the following items just to name a few:

· Repair/Replacement of roofs, gutters and downspouts

· Repair/Replacement/upgrade of existing HVAC systems

· Repair/Replacement/upgrade of plumbing and electrical systems

· Repair/Replacement of fl ooring · Minor remodeling, such as kitchens, which does

not involve structural repairs· Painting, both exterior and interior · Weatherization, including storm windows and

doors, insulation, weather stripping, etc.· Purchase and installation of appliances, including

free-standing ranges, refrigerators, washers/dry-ers, dishwashers and microwave ovens

· Accessibility improvements for persons with disabilities

In other words, homes that are deemed structurally sound but are missing key items such as a stove, or an entire kitchen, should be put back on your tour of potentials. Th e FHA Stream-line 203(k) is simply another form of the FHA fi nancing many East Contra Costa County buyers already plan to use, and just like a standard FHA loan, only requires a 3.5% down payment. Monies needed for repairs/replacement are kept in an escrow account aft er closing and already built into the purchase price. Imagine, fi nding the home and the neighborhood you’re looking for, and then being told you’ll also have free range to choose the updated materials throughout!

Approximately 100 collector cars assembled recently at Brentwood’s Les Schwab Tires as a show of support for our troops and to raise funds for Wounded Warriors Family Support.

The Marine Corps League’s Del-ta Diablo Detachment provided the color guard, and teamed with locally stationed Marine Sgt. Masterson and Sgt. Cardon to form the rifle salute. The Blue Star Moms were also on hand.

Among the many cars present were some of the finest show cars in the region, including many award win-ners and a number of previous Best of

Show winners. More than 30 awards were handed out by the volunteers of the America First Foundation, the or-ganizers of the event.

Les Scwhab Tires, Metropolitan Elevator, and Diablo Ford were the event sponsors. Ramon “DJ-Born-Again” Jackson kept the mood lively with spins that spanned the decades. Area car clubs Bay Bombs and Luxu-rious Lowriders brought in rows of amazing vehicles. Next year’s event will also be held on the first Sunday of August and is expected to showcase more than 200 cars.

be required to ensure that the sign meets ordinance specifi cations, although no per-mit fee is required. Signs not in compliance with the ordinance are subject to removal.

The council also approved the use of temporary A-frame signs for grand openings and for charity events, accept-ing the public input from the workshop to allow the signs as long as they do not interfere with ADA accessibility. These

temporary signs are not subject to for-mal permits.

The new ordinance also sets guide-lines for other forms of outdoor advertis-ing such as wall signs, but in an effort to help businesses transition to comply with the new regulations, the council approved the initiation of a pilot program that would offer grant money to businesses to buy new signs or improve existing signs. The city plans to test the grant program on

two local businesses, matching 15 percent of the costs to comply with the ordinance. Once the pilot program is reviewed, the city anticipates matching up to 33 percent of funds used to update or purchase signs, but buildings will be eligible for the grant only every fi ve years.

Councilman Jim Frazier asked staff to advise the Oakley Chamber of Commerce to send a weekly e-mail to advertise the pi-lot program, and Mayor Carol Rios asked

information about the grant be placed on the city Web site so that pilot program can begin as soon as possible.

While much text was added to the sign ordinance, which passed unanimously, some was taken out. Regulations for fl ag-poles and fl ag size were removed from the ordinance in response to public feedback opposing restrictions that could limit their ability to display fl ags – particularly the American fl ag.

the general election in November – unless one candidate wins by getting more than 50 percent of the vote in the primary, which is unlikely given the large fi eld. The candidates for the minor parties – Green, American In-dependent and Peace and Freedom – have already been selected because they are run-ning unopposed.

The other main difference between the candidates for the two major parties is that the Democratic fi eld includes three well-known politicians – Lt. Gov. John Garamendi, state Sen. Mark DeSaulnier and state Assemblywoman Joan Buchanan – while the Republicans consist of relatively unknown political neophytes.

The other two Democrats are investi-gator Adriel Hampton and economic policy analyst Anthony Woods. The Republicans are small-business owner Chris Bunch, re-tired peace offi cer Gary Clift, businessman David Harmer, small-business owner Mark Loos, accountability-system owner David Peterson and physician John Toth.

One of the bigger philosophical con-trasts between the two parties concerned global warming and the cap-and-trade bill designed to fi ght it, which recently passed in the House of Representatives but has stalled in the Senate.

Most Democrats fear there will be environmental disaster if cap-and-trade, which is designed to curb pollution by lim-iting greenhouse gas emissions, and similar

measures aren’t approved. Most Repub-licans believe cap-and-trade will result in economic devastation while making a min-iscule impact on global warming.

“I believe in quick action to stem the growing concern of climate change,” said DeSaulnier, who co-authored SB 375, which is designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in California.

“One of the greatest challenges is to correct the mistakes we have made. We are clearly polluting the atmosphere,” agreed Garamendi. “We have got to control the greenhouse gases. We can do this and grow the economy simultaneously.”

Woods echoed that, saying, “We need to take climate change very seriously. It’s the number-one strategic threat in the world. It’s time to take it very, very seriously. If we confront it today, we can do something about it.”

Buchanan agreed: “Global warming is real. It’s the single greatest threat to our environment and economy. We need to do all we can to convert to an economy not dependent on oil.” But she was more cau-tious about cap-and-trade, saying it should be used “as an interim measure. It should be there as bridge.”

Hampton, who agrees with his fellow Democrats about the seriousness of global warming, was cautious on cap-and-trade, saying that Congress needs “to make sure that cap-and-trade doesn’t have a devastat-ing impact on small businesses and con-

sumers. It’s important to limit emissions. The most effective things I see are reducing dependence on oil and fossil fuels.”

The Republicans believe cap-and-trade will do more harm than good, and they sup-port nuclear power as a clean energy alter-native to fossil fuels.

“Cap-and-trade is the most devastat-ing single tax that will ever be placed on American industry and American families,” said Bunch. “This will be brutal for busi-ness. We will lose 2½ million jobs in manu-facturing and industry to globalization per year. Over $400 billion will be lost to our gross domestic product. The net effect of the cap-and-trade bill is one-tenth of one degree in global temperature by the year 2050. Are you ready to pay $3,000 to $4,500 additional in energy costs in your family for that one-tenth of a degree?”

Peterson said that cap-and-trade is just a system providing subsidies for the oil and coal industry. He prefers developing nuclear power plants, which have improved their safety, and eliminating the subsidy on im-ported oil.

“Cap-and-trade is a moot point,” said Harmer. “It appears dead in the Senate be-cause of the political tradeoffs. Labeled as being an important environmental protec-tion, it includes subsidies to the dirtiest and most polluting producers.”

According to Toth, “Cap-and-trade is based on fl awed science … (and) is a scheme for globalization. They have to destroy our

economy. Nuclear energy is a no-brainer – it’s the safest form of energy. It gives plenty of energy at very little cost.”

Clift said that the implementation of nuclear energy should be left up to the states and local communities to decide, but agreed with the other Republicans on cap-and-trade, saying “it is dying. It was not well thought out. It doesn’t make sense to have the few jobs we have left move to foreign countries.”

Loos also supports construction of a lot more nuclear power plants and opposes cap-and-trade, saying it will damage the economy and provide the government di-rect access to citizens’ bank accounts.

Other issues discussed at the forum, in which the Democrats spoke for an hour followed by an hour with the Republicans, followed a similar pattern. Democrats gen-erally supported governmental solutions to problems while Republicans were concerned that the government often does more harm than good in its attempts to solve societal problems.

The major contrast among the Demo-cratic candidates concerned their experi-ence. Political newcomers Hampton and Woods argued that it’s better to send fresh faces with new ideas, instead of career poli-ticians, to Washington, D.C. On the other hand, Buchanan, DeSaulnier and Gara-mendi touted their years of accomplishment in public service as an asset in representing the 10th District.

Freedom golfers to play on Bethel Island

Freedom High’s girls golf team will be driving, chipping and putting on the Bethel Island Golf Course this season instead of at the Shadow Lakes course after Shadow Lakes decided to charge the team $20,000 to play there this season. Although the girls will need to travel farther to play on an older, less elegant course, it’s better than the alternative: canceling the girls golf season.

“$20,000 is a little more than what Freedom can spend,” said Freedom Ath-letic Director Steve Amaro to several hun-dred athletes and parents at the school’s preseason sports night last week. “We don’t spend that on football. Not that football is more important than golf. It’s just that this is something that we don’t spend on any of our sports. Luckily, Bethel Island came to our rescue, so our girls golf team will be able to play this year. It’s a little windy out there, but they will learn to deal with it.”

State budget cutbacks are hurting school districts throughout the state.

“The state of the athletic department is ever fl uctuating,” said Amaro. “We all know the economic times we live in are very hard. There have been some drastic impacts not only athletically but academically. Fresh-man English classes, which used to be 20-to-1 (student-to-teacher ratios) are now 30-to-1. All of the Freedom sports have lost all paid assistant coaching positions.

“There’s a lot of gloom and doom that can be said about this. But you can also look at the positive side. This is a time when our athletes can truly shine. This is a time when we can create some innovation and fi nd ways where we can be maybe a model district for the entire state.”

Thus far the only athletes required to pay the $75 transportation fee are the foot-ball players, he said. But other sports could be affected as well, depending on whether they require bus transportation.

“If a team decides to take a bus, we are going to have to charge parents for that,” he said. “I do hope that the Freedom commu-nity continues to rally around what we have done better than all of other high schools, which is that we have a lot of parent drivers. When a bus leaves this lot and goes the two-mile trek to Liberty, it costs us $500. So that adds up very quickly.”

Amaro told the players and parents to go online to www.highschoolsports.net to view the Freedom High page listing team

schedules, rules, forms and newspaper ar-ticles.

He advised athletes to stay away from energy drinks, which he said can contain potentially unsafe levels of caffeine and which have led to the disqualifi cation of Olympic athletes who drank them before competition. “Water’s the best thing, espe-cially when it gets very hot,” he told the par-ents, adding, “Talk to your son and daugh-ter about hydrating.”

He also provided cautionary advice about online social networking sites. “They have become very positive for people to get to know each other, but also have been very negative ways to break down self esteem,” he said. “At a school in Los Angeles’ girls basketball game the student section went to Myspace and found the point guard’s information. And when she went for a free throw they shouted out information from her Myspace page, and she went 0 for 10.” Providing too much personal information online can also lead to identify theft, he added.

The well-attended event in Freedom’s gymnasium was for the school’s fall sports teams: boys and girls water polo, football, coed cross country, girls golf, girls volley-ball and girls tennis. After Amaro fi nished his remarks, the athletes and parents broke into groups based on the sport the student is planning to participate in and received more detailed information from the respec-tive coaches.

Anglers ready to SwingThe Thunder Valley Outdoors/Future

Pro Tour will be participating in the Delta Swing in August and September.

The Delta features more than 1,000 miles of twisting sloughs and levees loaded with double-digit bass. National circuits such as FLW and BASS frequently visit the massive waterway, and even world cham-pions marvel at its sheer fi sh-producing strength and challenging complexities.

The fi rst event, slated for Aug. 15 out of Russo’s Marina and dubbed Rolling on the River, features a large fi eld of competi-tors and big prize money in a venue that’s fun for both participants and spectators.

Booths at the event will provide free

demos and samples, a huge raffl e, live broadcasting by Radio Disney/Department of Boating Waterways, water safety demos, interactive games and prizes for the kids, a fi re-prevention trailer sponsored by South Place Fire District offering demos and free gifts, plus music, a southern-style barbecue (kids eat free) and a pro-celebrity shootout.

The event will be broadcast Saturday morning, Aug. 29 on Comcast Sports Net West.

Late signups will be available from 4 to 7 a.m. the morning of the event at Russo’s Marina. For more, visit www.futureprotour.net or call 916-768-0938.

yet – so it’s a little scary.”When asked to name some of the play-

ers he’ll be looking to this season, Haagen-son said he could name about 20, but singled out linebacker and wide receiver Diallo Law-son and sweeper Deshaun McCoy.

Asked about his team’s strengths and weaknesses, he said, “I don’t know what’s go-ing to happen. I don’t know what our weak-nesses are until we go out there. I think our strength should be our defense. Our weakness may be the inexperience at the receiver posi-tion and a little on the line. A strength will be the running game. And weakness will be the passing game – but I don’t know. I’m looking forward to it; can’t wait to get going.”

The fi rst test will be a scrimmage at home against Washington at noon on Sat-urday, Aug. 29. The preseason will start out with a long road trip: a Sept. 4 game in San Diego against Mt. Carmel, which they beat at home last year by a touchdown.

The home opener is scheduled for Sept. 11 against St. Mary’s. Then the Patri-ots are back on the road Sept. 17 at Ken-nedy in Fremont, Oct. 2 at Monte Vista in Danville, and Oct. 9 at Skyline in Oakland. League play starts Oct. 16 at Pittsburg, fol-lowed by three home games: Oct. 23 vs. Liberty, the Oct. 30 Homecoming game vs. Antioch and Nov. 6 vs. Freedom. The Pa-triots end the regular season at Deer Valley on Nov. 13.

might have won it, according to Lloyd, if not for some suspect offi ciating in the championship game against an Arizona team they had beaten by 20 points the day before.

“The guys were fi ve feet away from a guy (on the other team) making a jump shot and the guy missed the jump shot and the referee had a foul call,” said Lloyd. “The other coach said to the ref, ‘We don’t want to win like that.’ (My) guys were upset, but I told them, ‘Win or lose, I am proud of you.’”

They lost the championship, but the basketball program and Lloyd’s men-torship, which includes encouraging the younger players to get good grades in school and providing the older players job counseling, has defi nitely been a win for the young Gladiators.

“I have seen them evolve from being negative to being positive as far as say-ing ‘thank you,’” said Lloyd. “After Vegas they said, ‘Thank you, Coach, we really appreciate you.’ These guys are showing gratitude; they are showing concern for others. Rather than ‘What can I get for me?’ it’s ‘Coach, what can I do for you?’ After the game I went to my room and shed a few tears and thought, ‘Wow, these guys have really grown up.’ They said, ‘Coach, nobody has really done anything like that for us except you.’ I said, ‘If you did not come out here, I could not coach you guys.’ They are more mature and have grown up.”

But it’s challenging running a bas-

ketball program on a shoestring budget. Lloyd had hoped to get his team out of the hot weather on the court at Dallas Ranch Middle School and into the gym, but had no luck in getting school district approval.

And then, after an article on the team appeared in the Antioch Press, a woman from the district offi ce called Lloyd to tell him he would be charged $12/hour just to play on the outside courts. To get around that, he’s no longer holding practices on the courts but just meeting his players there for pickup games and shootarounds.

“I am just trying to keep these guys out of trouble,” he said. “These guys have this talent that people don’t get to see them play at the high school level. That’s when I step in; my program is an alternative. A lot of people talk about what needs to be done, but they are not doing it. I am just trying to do something positive.”

The players who brought home the silver trophy are Barry White, Donavon Williams, Mike Crawley, Tori Mclennan, Jamaal Davis, Steve Sullivan, David Ed-mond, Kevin Powell, Joseph Cowles and Henry Williams. Helping pay for the Las Vegas trip, in addition to the funds raised at a car wash at 76 gas station at Lone Tree Way and Golf Course Road, are the An-tioch Armory, Kal Krishnan Consulting, Antioch Councilman Reggie Moore and BART Board Member Joel Keller.

For more information or to help sponsor the Gladiators, call Lloyd at 510-228-8065 or 925-206-4760 or e-mail him at petplacecala@yahoo.com.

John Aloysius TrummJuly 14, 1922-July 30, 2009

Surrounded by family, John, 87, passed away peacefully in his home on July 30 in Concord following a long battle with Parkinson’s.

John was the youngest of three sons born to William and Rosalia on July 14, 1922 in Salem, Ore. He was preceded in death by his brother, Urban “Jack.”

John led a very full and rewarding life. He proudly served as a fi rst lieutenant in the United States 14th Air Force dur-ing World War II under Major General C.L. Chennault with the Flying Tigers Squadron. He received the Distinguished Flying Cross for fl ying B-25 bombers and

received the Air Medal for fl ying C-47 transport aircraft “Over the Hump” in China.

After serving his country, John re-ceived his bachelor’s degree in mechani-cal engineering from Oregon State Uni-versity. He moved to Concord in 1949 and worked as a Process Engineer at the Avon Petroleum Refi nery in Martinez for 35 years. John enjoyed classical music, fi shing, camping, fl ying, family life and worldwide traveling with his wife.

John also enjoyed the annual family camping trip to Warner Creek in Lassen National Forest. This tradition included all family members and continues today. After retiring, John spent many hours fl y-ing his friends and family in his Cardinal Cessna airplane.

He is survived by his loving and de-voted wife of 62 years, Germaine “Geri”; their nine children, Robert (Stephanie), Richard (Janet), Catherine Jenkins, Carol Laird (Timothy), Billy, Mary Anne John-son (Gilbert), David (Kari), Barbara Bar-ton (Jack), and Michael (Jeannette); 17 grandchildren and one great-grandchild, Lily. John is also survived by his brother, William (Marie).

A vigil, visitation and service were held at Ouimet Brothers on Aug. 5. The funeral Mass was held at Queen of All Saints Church in Concord on Aug. 6, fol-lowed by interment at Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Lafayette. Memorials may be made to the Parkinson’s Association (800-908-2732). We will miss you dearly!

OBITUARIES

Lenora Ravenna RoehmLenora Ravenna Roehm, the “Food

Lady of East County” and resident of Brent-wood since 1961, passed away from this life on July 30 surrounded by her loving and devoted immediate family. Her passing – just weeks short of her 89th birthday – was the result of a massive heart attack.

A longtime resident of Brentwood, Le-nora, the “Food Lady of East County,” was an unsung heroine: a member and active participant in the Delta Senior Center for decades; past president and district deputy president of The Rebeccas and also a mem-ber for 40 plus years; a member of the Byron Methodist Church for 45 years and provider of communion bread for 40 of those years; and Brentwood’s Citizen of the Year in 1990.

Lenora organized and administered the Brentwood Brown Bag Food Program; the local Contra Costa County Food Bank and Government Surplus Food program; the By-ron Methodist Church Food Pantry; and was personally responsible for the annual Thanks-giving and Christmas food basket programs.

But her greatest accomplishment was being a loving mother and friend to her sur-viving children, Alberta Cates, Vernette Pato, Joyce Clark, George Roehm III and Adah Boone. She was preceded in death by her hus-band, George Roehm II, and her daughter, Joan Roehm. She is survived by nine grand-children, 21 great-grandchildren, seven great-great-grandchildren, 23 foster children and a plethora of friends, family, extended family and acquaintances locally as well as world-wide.

Lenora touched the hearts of many as a friend and mentor. She was humble, generous in nature with her time and support, offering a helping hand in every way at her disposal, drawing on every option at hand. She never met a stranger. She was a regular at the Brent-wood Café, where she held her own in the daily roundabout of politics and red-light runners; always adding anecdotes of Brentwood’s past. Her wisdom, wit, generosity, friendship and an incredibly positive outlook on life have left an indelible mark on all she touched.

A celebration of Lenora’s life was held on Saturday, Aug. 8 at the Byron Methodist Church. In lieu of fl owers, the family requests donations in her honor to a food bank or charity of your choice.

Lynn DuntonLynn Dunton celebrated Mother’s Day

this year with her two sons, David and Bob, both of whom passed away in the last 15 months. The rest of her family – her husband Bill, her daughter Kristin, her other sons Bill and Mike, and all her grandchildren and great grandchildren – are now struggling to cope with their third recent loss.

On May 9, surrounded by many of them, Lynn passed peacefully on to the rest of her jour-ney after an incredibly brave battle with cancer. The daughter of Wilfred and Polly Hendrickson, Lynn was born in rural Minnesota on March 24, 1928. She went to the nearest town, Paynesville, to attend Paynesville High. There she met and fell in love with a guy from town named Bill Dunton. At their 1946 graduation, they managed to rearrange the marching order at graduation so they could hold hands during the ceremony.

Lynn completed the two-year course required for teaching, received her A.A. degree from St. Cloud State Teachers College, and began a teaching career in a one-room school close to her home. The students were in grades one through six and included her younger sister. As the teacher, she had to teach all of them at each student’s appropriate level.

On Jan. 30, 1948, the high school sweethearts eloped. The bride was not yet 20. The groom, at-tending the University of Minnesota to complete his bachelor’s degree, completed his course work and secured a job for the next school year. He and Lynn moved to Richland, Wash., where Bill began his teaching career.

Lynn taught in the grade schools there until the couple’s fi rst son was born, and then continued to work with teens as the director of a teen club in Richland sponsored by the city and General Electric. In September of 1958, the Dunton fam-ily – now with a daughter fi nally joining three sons – moved to Fullerton and found a house on Ash Avenue from which they have never moved. In 1959, they added their native Californian to the family when a fourth son, Bobby, was born.

Bill had taken a job with the F.J.U.H.S.D. as a teacher of vocal music. Starting in 1958, he began to build his empire at La Habra High in that de-partment. There was the concert choir, but that was not enough. At heart, Bill wished to be an impresa-rio and put on a really, big show involving hordes of students Scotscapades was born. It needed cos-tumes, scenery, lighting, choreographers along with the dancers, singers and musicians.

Lynn quietly took control of the less obvi-ous but very necessary portions of the production, made sure the lighting coordinators didn’t injure themselves or their performers with their elabo-rate schemes, curtailed the costs and complexity of costumes that mothers and daughters dreamed up, helped the set designers create scenery that enhanced the show and didn’t overwhelm the per-formers, drew some of the designs for them, and most importantly, dried the tears and consoled the wounded when the producer had not been at his most diplomatic.

Lynn became the one the students went to not only for help with their costumes but for advice on their lives and their futures. She listened and heard what they said and what they did not. She enjoyed them immensely and they knew it.

At the same time, she taught at the Adult School run by Fullerton Junior College. An art-ist fi rst and foremost, she taught millinery, crafts, stained glass, design and sketching. She made hats and more hats. She made pots on her wheel in the backyard and let the kids play with a slab of clay from her garbage can when they wanted. She drew constantly, created batiks and made candles.

Lynn looked at the world with an artist’s eye, seeing all the colors and angles in the scene, and lis-tened with a musician’s ear, hearing all the voices and instruments it took to make the desired sound. She always knew each small contribution compli-mented and enhanced the whole and deserved ap-

preciation and respect.Lynn also found time to complete her bache-

lor’s degree in art education. After Bill retired, Lynn joined the La Habra Woman’s Club and later the Fullerton Woman’s Club. She soon was a county chairman and eventually became a member of the State Woman’s Club governing group. She also was on the board of the Very Special Arts California Gallery in Santa Ana.

Lynn was a writer, actor, singer and artist, but most of all she was a friend and mentor to anyone who sought her support and help. She is survived by her husband Bill, sons Bill and Mike, daughter Kristin, eight grandchildren and three great-grand-children, her sisters Betty Crusoe and Annette Warwick (Laurie Bolt, Vicky Miranda and Pamela Munkelt), and her brother Douglas Hendrickson. The Duntons planned to hold a memorial for Lynn in July. Meanwhile the staff and alumni of La Habra High School have started a scholarship in her name and are accepting contributions.

Savoring art, wine and all that jazz

Like the cabaret girl banners adorning the city streets, the eighth annual Brentwood Art, Wine & Jazz Festival is now in sight. The two-day civic celebration takes place Satur-day, Aug. 29 and Sunday, Aug. 30, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. in City Park in the city’s his-toric downtown. There is no charge for ad-mission.

Special features this year include the Artist’s Garden, showcasing more than 50 ju-ried artists; the Vintner’s Corner, spotlighting seven local vintners, micro-breweries and ol-ive growers; 10 live jazz fusion performances on the main stage, featuring musicians from local schools and the community; and the Food Court, hosted by local restaurants, ca-terers and nonprofi t organizations.

Returning this year is the sand sculpture display, Little Clusters Children’s Area; Walk through Time with the Historical Society; Artist of the Year Award; Blind Taste Test Booth; Wall of Art, displaying 1,500 hand-

drawn works of art by local students; Auc-tion on the Lawn; and The Crush, a grape stomping competition. New this year is the Masters of the Arts competition between lo-cal chefs, winemakers, fl orists, musicians and artists, chalk-drawn sidewalk art surrounding the entire park and Your Place at the Easel, where guests can stop and paint like they did when they were kids.

Opening ceremonies include a procla-mation by Mayor Bob Taylor followed by the National Anthem, sung by Gene Clare. Artist of the Year Bill Weber will receive his award at 10:15 a.m. and join the Wall of Art students for a photo shoot in front of the main stage. The sounds of jazz will fi ll the air throughout both days, including Dixieland on Sunday morning.

The Brentwood Rotary will fi re up the grill at 8:30 a.m. on both days, making its famous pancakes for guests arriving early. Handicapped parking is available surround-ing the park, and an area is reserved for shut-tle bus drop-offs. Guests can rent a chair for the day or bring a blanket to fi nd a place on the lawn.

No outside alcohol is allowed and guests desiring to purchase an alcoholic beverage must buy a wrist band after showing proper identifi cation. One-day wrist bands cost $7; $11 for both days. One souvenir wine or beer glass is given out with the one-day wrist band

purchase. Wine will be sold by the glass, bot-tle and case; beer by the glass. Non-alcoholic beverages will be available for $2. The food court will serve tri-tip, chicken and hot-links sandwiches and the festival’s famous barbe-cued oysters. The snack attack pack will in-clude fruit, cheese, crackers and cookies. Oth-er local businesses will be serving a variety of foods and treats for festival guests.

Unlike at other festivals, the Artist’s Gar-den takes guests through a gardenlike path-way, presenting oil, watercolor and ceramic artists, jewelers, sculptors and photographers. Art docents will provide a tour of the garden upon request, and guests can cast their ballot

for their favorite artist. The award ceremony is held on the main stage at 5 p.m. Saturday.

In addition to the souvenir glass, guests will be given buttons (in limited quantities) inscribed with “Offi cial Wine Snob,” “Offi cial Grape Crusher” and “I found my place at the Easel.” The fi rst 500 guests to visit the John Muir Health booth on Sunday will receive a white skimmer hat to be worn during the aerial shot of the park at 4:30 p.m.

All proceeds from the event benefi t the Brentwood Art Society for its support of art and cultural art programs in the city. For more information, call 925-513-4422 or visit www.brentwoodartwinejazzfestival.com.

MTV “Sports Blender” co-host and comedian Leo Flowers will headline the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition Comedy Night on Saturday, Aug. 15 at 8 p.m. in the Lesher Center for the Arts in Walnut Creek.

Other performers for the event include Stephen B, Jeff Applebaum with his 13-year-old son Josh, and guest appearances from Brian Copeland, Chicago Steve Barkley and Larry “Bubbles” Brown.

Proceeds from the event benefi t the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition, a nonprofi t organization dedicated to public awareness and education of the disease.

Local comedian and writer Charlie Early – who also emcees the show – and magazine editor Stacey Hartmann began

producing the comedy event in 2000, soon after Hartmann was diagnosed with late-stage ovarian cancer. Last year, Hartmann lost her battle with cancer at age 48, but Early remains determined to continue with the popular fundraiser.

“Stacey’s voice has not been silenced, and I will help to keep her voice for ovarian cancer awareness alive,” said Early.

The Lesher Center for the Arts is located at 1601 Civic Drive in Walnut Creek. Reserved seating for the event is $30. Tickets are now on sale at www.dlrca.org, or by calling 925-943-SHOW. For additional information on the show or the NOCC, call 925-383-3072, visit www.comedybenefi t.org or e-mail Early at charleen@ecis.com.

Comedy night cancer fundraising event set

In what is probably the fi rst Yuletide-related item you’ve seen this year, the Liberty High School Choral Department is asking folks to get ready for the 20th season of the enormously popular Rent-A-Carol program.

“Every year we have the holiday singers known as the ‘Rent-A-Carolers,’ and every year we book up our gigs really fast,” said Eric Promani, publicity manager for the LHS Choir Club. To make sure everyone has a chance to be visited by the group, they’re offering an early heads-up.

For a donation of $100, select members

of the LHS choir will sing some of the most treasured Christmas carols at any holiday gathering. Dressed in Victorian costumes, the Rent-A-Carolers will joyfully spread the spirit of the holiday season via their sensational sound and traditional carols.

To spread the holiday spirit together with these joyous songs, contact Liberty Choral Director Sue Stuart at 634-3411 and arrange a date.

“From all the carolers at Liberty,” said Eric, “Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays – even in August!”
