Foster care gets a helping handNext year, an estimated

6,000 California foster-care youths will be emancipated from the state-run system. For many of these 18-year olds, new-found freedom is often fraught with fear and uncertainty. But now, thanks to a bill signed into law last week, California foster youth will be offered a helping hand into their futures.

“It’s great, a great thing,” said Oakley resident Sue Hobbs, who is completing her doctoral degree in psychology at the Center for Public Policy Research at UC Davis. “We (supporters of the bill) believe that if foster youth can stay in the system with families for longer, they will have more time to mature and transition. It will be a lot less fearful for them.”

For many of the adoles-cents in the foster-care sys-tem, being forced out on their own when they turn 18 leaves

them without a support net-work, few life skills and few-er prospects. It’s the hope of proponents of the bill that the extend time in the care of the foster system will make their eventual transition smoother.

The voluntary extension program – slated to begin in 2012 – will be offered to youth who are not mentally or physically disabled and are in school or working at least 80 hours per month. The new law

will allow the state to draw on federal funds to replace the more-than $52 million of state money now being used to place foster children with relatives. And while partici-pants will still be in contact with social workers and the juvenile court, their relation-ship will be less stringent and more flexible.

“Many of these foster youths come out of the system without the basic skills such as how to balance a checkbook, how to pay bills and how to apply for college or find a job,” said Hobbs. “Many fos-ter youth move from home to home and neighborhood to neighborhood. We know they have problems with mental health, welfare and unem-ployment, and we’re looking for ways to help.”

One way might be the im-plementation of the National Youth in Transition Database (NYTD), a program man-dated under the provisions of

Oakley resident Sue Hobbs, front row right, is part of a team of researchers at the Center for Public Policy Research at UC Davis. The Center is helping to assemble the National Youth in Transition Database, which is aimed at improving foster care through a survey of youth preparing to leave the system.

Residents to be polled on fire issues

The East Contra Costa Fire Protection District will soon ask residents what kind of fire service they want, how much they’re willing to pay, and how that money should be collected.

The ECCFPD Board of Directors this week voted to spend $40,000 on a poll to help give it direction in dealing with chronic under-funding that could see the 250-square-mile district run out of money by late 2011. Board Chairman Erick Stonebarger said the poll will probably be conducted af-

ter the November election, but in time to analyze the data and put a possible tax measure on the ballot next June.

“It has to be all-encom-passing,” Stonebarger said, adding that he wants it to an-swer questions such as whether residents want paramedics on the engines, are in favor of two levels of service – suburban

in some areas, rural in others – and what type of tax they would prefer, if any.

“We need a snapshot of what the community wants in the way of service,” he said. “It’s not just about how much we can get passed. It’s about finding out what kind of ser-vice people want and then put-ting a package together to get

them what they want.”The poll is expected to

take about 15 minutes to com-plete. The questions will be brought to the board for “re-viewing and tweaking, if we deem it necessary,” prior to the poll going forward, Stone-barger said.

Stonebarger said that if the district chooses to put a tax measure on the ballot in June, he wants voters to also have a chance to begin directly electing board members.

“If we’re going to go ask for more money, then you have to let the people elect the peo-

City finds new ways to stay connected

Some residents don’t have time to at-tend Oakley City Council meetings, but now there are new ways to keep in touch with what’s new in the city – and it’s just a click away.

Oakley recently launched its renovat-ed website, www.oakleyinfo.com, with a brand-new interface that makes accessing information easier. Reggie Decker, pub-lic information coordinator, said the new site has been enhanced to make navigating simpler so residents and potential Oakley visitors can effortlessly fi nd the informa-tion they’re looking for.

The new site features a welcom-ing photo montage of Oakley highlights. Navigation buttons on the left plus drop down menus at the top right connect users with department, services and recreation links. While the site is more user friendly, the city is taking online communication a step further by dabbling in online network communities such as Facebook and Twit-ter. According to Decker, Facebook has surpassed Google as the most-visited site on the planet, managing 7 percent of all Web traffi c.

“We wanted to improve the website so that we have a way to get the latest in-formation out to our residents as soon as possible,” Decker said. “We redid the site’s design to improve navigation, but

we’ve also entered the online social net-works by creating Twitter and Facebook accounts. It’s easy and it’s free, so we can get updates out to the public quickly so our residents know what’s going on in their community.”

Oakley’s Facebook page, “City of Oakley,” is a fan page that offers the lat-est in local and regional news. Since the launch of the new website, Decker said the fan page will be updated at least once a week and eventually, as the fan base grows, the page will be refreshed daily.

For a more informal update center, Oakley has created a second Facebook page for Oakley mascot Val E. Oak. By friending Val E. Oak, Facebook users will fi nd city updates as well as information about special events, recreation opportuni-ties and other fun facts about the city. Val E. Oak is also available to take your ques-tions and share his decades of knowledge with the community.

Decker said Val E. Oak is a kid-friendly persona who will crop up at Oak-ley events in the future, but for now, the community can get to know the beloved cartoon oak tree online. “We wanted to create a fun way to spread news about Oakley. Now that the oakleyinfo.com has been updated, information is easier to fi nd, but people won’t necessarily check the site daily. Val E. Oak is a way to get the infor-mation out, because once you become his Facebook friend, updates will regularly ap-

pear on your Facebook homepage.”Twitter is an alternative to friending a

tree while still getting informal splashes of information that are easy to digest. Oak-ley’s Twitter account, CityofOakley, fea-tures city information in 140 characters or less and provides direct links to oakleyinfo.com for specifi c information. Twitter and Facebook are also easily accessible through smart phone applications, so people can get the latest as soon as it’s posted.

By being a part of the Twitter or Face-book communities, you can connect and network with those who live and work in

Oakley. But if you don’t want to partici-pate in the social networks, links on Oak-ley’s homepage will directly connect you to the Twitter and Facebook pages without requiring you to log in.

Decker said creating accounts on these social networks allows for the city to connect with its younger residents and reach out to the tech-savvy generation. But for those who aren’t computer literate, the city’s quarterly community newsletter, The Oak Leaf, will still be delivered to mailbox-es throughout the city.

On sale: A year’s worth of memories

After a successful venture into the cal-endar business last year, the East Contra Costa Historical Society is now distributing its 2011 compilation of local photos, trivia and milestones.

Last year’s effort raised more than $1,000 for the organization, which uses the funds to maintain its museum and grounds on Sellers Avenue. This year, historian Kathy Leighton decided to make the calendar even more fun for East County residents by in-cluding more rare photos from Brentwood, Oakley, Byron, Bethel Island and Knightsen, plus little-known fun facts about the area, such as the date of Contra Costa’s establish-ment as a county: Feb. 18, 1850. Calendar owners might also be surprised to know that 12 inches of snow fell on East County on Jan. 6, 1883 and that Byron Methodist Church was dedicated on June 3, 1884. By fl ipping through the new calendar, residents will learn all kinds of details about the area they call home.

“We’ve got a better-quality calendar this year,” Leighton said. “We learned a lot from our fi rst go-round, and with more time to plan it out than last year, we’ve ended up with a great calendar that offers a lot more history. I’m really pleased with it. Each page has a photo and a story explaining the pic-ture. This time we’ve included more trivia and we’ve expanded the calendar and made

it a 13-month calendar, so you can hang it up as soon as this December.”

Leighton said the calendar, now avail-able for purchase, makes a perfect gift for that new East County resident on your holi-day shopping list. In fact, many old-timers

are unaware of the history of their region.For example, Lone Tree Way was

named by Joseph G. Prewett in 1905. He chose the name because a solemn sycamore tree grew in the plain between Brentwood and Antioch where the road connecting the

two towns was to be constructed. The cal-endar features an image of a crew of more than 30 men who helped pave the road with gravel collected from Marsh Creek. The cal-endar also showcases photos of downtown Brentwood, the Marsh House and the Oak-ley Hotel.

One of Leighton’s favorite pages in the calendar, created with the help of John Gonzales and Shirley McCall, is the month of August. It features Farrar Park, a local swimming hole that the people of Bethel Island used to enjoy. The park featured picnic tables, a café, a public campground, a motorcycle racetrack and a general store, among other amenities.

Leighton said when she debuted the calendar at the East Contra Costa Histori-cal Society’s annual barbecue last month, attendees fl ipped through the calendar and began to reminisce about their summers at Farrar Park.

“People were looking at that picture and sharing their memories of swimming there by the bridge in the summer,” Leigh-ton said. “It’s amazing how a photo can bring back so many memories.”

The 2011 East Contra Costa Histori-cal Society Calendar costs $10 and may be purchased at the Brentwood Press offi ce, 248 Oak St., or at the Brentwood Chamber of Commerce offi ce, 8440 Brentwood Blvd., Suite C. For more information, call Leigh-ton at 925-634-0917.

More than 100 people laced up their walking shoes and hit the Marsh Creek trail Sept. 25 for the fi rst Strides Walk for Diabetes Awareness sponsored by

the Brentwood Lions Club and Sutter Delta Heath.“I was encouraged that so many people recognized the

need to focus their energy for this cause,” said organizer Fred Ginsler of the Lions. “Family and friends showed up to support loved ones with diabetes. The team spirit and ex-pression of concern gave these kids a feeling of hope that they may live their lives with a certain degree of normality. We saw families participate as a gesture of love.”

The event raised more than $3,000 for the Diabetes Society, which runs a summer education camp in Santa Cruz where children can learn about how to cope with their illness.

“We’re psyched to make it even bigger and better next year,” Ginsler said.

Tryst with the mythic tricksterThere was nothing ominous about that

morning. No warning signs. It began like most of my adventures at Round Valley: I stretched out at the trailhead – Achilles, hip fl exor, lunge – and fi red up my GPS. In two hours, 6½ miles and 1,760 feet of elevation

gain I’d be standing on the sandstone ledge off Morgan Territory’s Prairie Falcon Trail, gazing at Mt. Diablo veiled in the hot haze of distance.

The Miwok Trail westbound ushered me beneath the shadows of blue oaks anchoring the lower lobes of ridges rippling toward

the valley. The shade was welcome; the forecast called for the mercury to hit 98 F. I was hauling all the water I could cram into my pack.

Water would be the least of my concerns.

I came to the familiar Miwok/Hardy Canyon split. Not the least bit unnerving. A mile and a half south towered the hunter-green oak and chaparral of Bob Walker Ridge: my up-staircase to scenic splendor. I lowered my gaze and heard the valley’s tall, dry grasses seethe in a southeast breeze like shale hissing in the retreating surf.

A mile later, just short of the Los Vaqueros gate, and still oblivious, I saw him: a solo coyote loping toward the arroyo

skirting my trail. He was about 200 yards left and moving with a purpose, probably to trade the withering light for the darkness beneath valley oaks and arroyo willows. Since he kept coming, it was clear he hadn’t seen me (every coyote I’ve come across has steered the other way). I’d also gotten lucky – the southeast breeze kept me upwind of his nose and ears.

The moment he disappeared behind

a stand of buckeye, now about a hundred yards distant, I bounded off the trail toward a large oak on the arroyo’s east bank and set up my shooting zone. Out came the camera. On. Exposure: minus two clicks. White balance: shade. Mode: scenery. Zoom: full. I trained the lens on the only open area across the arroyo: a rock spattered with white lichen and dormant brown mosses. Then I scanned the scene for my quarry.

Animals are infuriatingly un- cooperative photo subjects. My dog and cats, for cryin’ out loud, rarely hold a pose. Out in the wild, I’m lucky to get close enough to a coyote, bobcat or turkey vulture – and be quick enough with my equipment – to bag a single respectable snapshot.

But lo and behold, this Round Valley coyote trotted out from behind the bramble, hopped up onto the rock and into a photogenically optimal dappling of sunlight and shade … and just stood there while my shutter went ka-CHEE, ka-CHEE, ka-CHEE.

As if he knew the last shot was as good as it was gonna get, and the photo-op was over, the creature hopped off the rock and disappeared behind the foliage. I reviewed my shots for a minute, all the while shaking my head at the colossal blindness of my luck.

Time to go. I turned on my heel to high-step it through the thistle back to the trail – and jumped straight back. “YOW!” The shock lasted only a moment, but it was a moment of heightened electrifi cation, a single synaptic fl ash short of panic. The next moment, crouched in a defensive pose, I heard myself laughing at myself.

Some guy was standing right behind me. Arm’s-length behind me.

“God Almighty! You scared the crap out of me!”

“‘God Almighty?!’ Ha!” He raised

Coyote-man Ohlétteh (oh-let´-tay), the Native American Miwok’s mythic cre-ator and trickster, consents to a photo-op at Round Valley Regional Preserve.

THANKS, ARNIEI told you a few months ago about a bill

pending before the California legislature called SB

1178 that I was hoping was going to pass. Here

is the background info: In California, “purchase-

money” loans have some special legal protections.

In general, if you get a loan to purchase a

principal residence, the lender can only pursue

the property in the event of non-payment. This

means they can’t pursue you personally for any

deficiency. This even applies to junior mortgages

IF they were truly used to purchase the property.

The problem lies in that once you refinance a

purchase-money loan, it loses that special legal

protection and becomes what’s called a “recourse”

loan. This means the lender CAN now pursue

you via judicial foreclosure, or a junior lender

who gets wiped out after the 1st lender forecloses

can pursue you in the courts. Many (if not most

people…) were not aware that they were losing

this legal protection when they were refinancing

their loans.

SB 1178 would have changed this to where

purchase-money loans would have retained this

legal protection, even after a refinance. (It would

not have covered any equity money that you had

pulled out of the property, which seems fair.)

What was especially interesting is that was going

to apply to loans currently on the books, not just

new loans made after it passed. One of the big

sticking points to many loan mods, short sales

and foreclosures is whether the loan is purchase-

money or recourse. Many lenders will negotiate

more on purchase-money loans, because they

have fewer options to pursue the borrower after.

If a borrower tries to “walk away” from a recourse

loan, their lender may be able to pursue them

later, so the lender tends to take a harder line in

negotiating on those loans.

Well, unfortunately, our Governor vetoed

the bill as he felt this new law was amending a

prior contract after the fact. I have to grudgingly

admit that he is technically correct. I was still

hoping it was going to pass because it would have

helped so many people.

This is general information, please seek legal

advice. If you have questions on any other real

estate topic, call me at (925) 240-MOVE (6683).

his eyebrows and nodded, lips pursed, suppressing a smile.

He was tall and spindly, as if he’d skipped a few meals. The ravines in his face were chiseled deep. A scraggly, rust-brown mustache fl ared across his cheeks. His long face was leather. But the eyes: the eyes were narrow and grey – and something else, something that sent an icy current up my spine and into my scalp. I took a step back. In all my wanderings I’d never seen anything as terrible as those gaunt and hungry eyes. They were not human.

So I blurted out at random, “Nice scenery.”

He paused and the corner of his mouth twitched. “I believe I did a pretty good job,” he said in a tone as smooth as cream but expressionless.

So fi xated was I on his eyes that it took a moment to register a disturbing fact: the hills behind him were undulating like a desert background blurred by heat ripples. The anomaly formed an oval just behind his head, like the halo in an Eastern Orthodox icon.

He must have registered my

disorientation. “I have that effect on … people,” he said.

I resolved to not admit that this was happening. It was simple: I’d keep the conversation mundane and dispel this bad dream through sheer tedium.

“Did you see the coyote?” I asked.“Did I see him? Hm. I would not put it

that way. Are you seeing yourself right now?Geez, this guy was hard to distract.

“Ger Erickson,” I said, extending my hand.I stood there, my arm obstinately

outstretched in empty space. Hey, this was my dream and I could survive the most awkward posture.

The guy looked at my hand as if it were radioactive, raised his arm and pinched the wide brim of his hat, the crown of which was tapered upward to form two pointed … wings, leaves, ears? Defi nitely not a Stetson.

“Ohlétteh,” he replied, returning the introduction. “You stole my image with that black box,” he said, his eyes boring a hole through my camera. “Well done. Now give it back.”

Uh-oh. Ohlétteh: Coyote deity of the Native American Miwok. Creator of the world. Trickster. I am so screwed.

Tiki Too sets sail for Fleet Week

Some girls enjoy shopping while others like getting their nails done, but for the girls of the Sea Scout Ship Tiki Too, nothing beats sail-ing. The 11-member crew features eight Oakley teens who are preparing to close out their fall vacation on a high note by showcasing their skills at this weekend’s Fleet Week in San Fran-cisco.

The crew’s vessel, PTF-26, also known as Liberty, was the last boat of its kind to serve in the Navy during the Vietnam War, and now Liberty is a training base for the Sea Scout crew. But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t get out on the water for some fun. This Saturday, the Tiki Too crew will help maneuver Liberty through Fleet Week’s Parade of Ships. On Sunday, the girls will be available to chat with visitors about their program and the ship they train on.

“This weekend’s Fleet Week will be really exciting,” said Sierra Baca, a Freedom High School student and crew member for a year. “Our boat, the Liberty, will be docked at Pier 45 and people can come see it and learn all about it. The Blue Angels will also be there, so it should be an exciting time. I hope to see lots of people there.”

The crew consists of Baca, Allegra Buch, Sabrina Caster, Jessica Curiel, Kayla Dela-Torre, Selina Martin, Katie McCrummen, Liz Morine, Sam Morine, Cierra Stevens and Anna Subias. Mary Eldridge, Kalia Kaddoura, Brit-nee Panell and Alicia Turner are also members

of the crew, but they’re off at college and don’t train regularly with the crew, which meets twice a week to practice.

Captain Jim West, who is both the direc-tor of the Liberty Maritime Museum and the Tiki Too skipper, said the girls have been hard at work preparing Liberty for her voyage to the Bay, cleaning, painting and managing engineer-ing preparations for the weekend. When they’re not polishing the ship, the girls are preparing for regattas – sea scout competitions that include events such as rowing, sailing, rope climbing and knot tying.

True to Liberty’s spirit, the girls must also know historic maritime skills such as breeches buoy and hoisting the scuttlebutt. West said Tiki Too is the most successful Sea Scout group in Northern California, taking 14 fi rst-place awards last season.

Liz Morine, a Freedom High School stu-dent, said she enjoys being a part of the crew because of all the activities she gets to partici-pate in with the team, whether it’s cruising to the Channel Islands or preparing the ship for events such as Fleet Week. Even the regatta competitions are fun because they’re working together.

West hopes to recruit four new active mem-bers for next season. Girls between the ages of 13 and 17 who are interested in learning more about the sea scout program should call crew member Katie McCrummen at 925-978-7082. For more information about Liberty, visit www.libertymaritime.org.

This is the third in a series of stories by Brentwood resident Corey Hunt tracing the plague of illicit drugs from Mexico to East Contra Costa County. For the previous installments, visit www.thepress.net.

Each year, American drug consumers give billions of dollars to the drug cartels that have plunged Mexico into civil unrest. According to the United States Govern-ment Accountability offi ce, the Mexican cartels take in as much as $23 billion in revenue every year.

In many ways, the American popu-lation’s refusal to give up illicit drugs – a 2008 World Health Organization report concluded that the United States has the highest levels of illegal drug use in the world – bears direct responsibility for the beheadings and the massacres that now take place on a daily basis, because the cartels would be unable to operate without a reliable and eager customer north of the border. But there are other factors in play as well.

Los Angeles has been a breeding ground for gang activity since the days of alcohol prohibition. Today, its location be-tween the drug routes originating from Ti-juana and Ciudad Juarez make it a prime destination for drug dispersal throughout the southwest. The Los Angeles metro-politan area of 10 million residents guar-antees local drug dealers, street gangs and the drug cartels who set the illicit trade in motion an abundant population of cus-tomers.

The city of Los Angeles, however, has played a far greater role in the crisis that has entrenched itself in Mexico and Latin America, knocking on America’s door. Some of the roots of today’s increasingly grisly confl ict can be traced back the City of Angels.

The roots of the crisis date back de-cades. Offi cer Alfredo Aguayo of the LAPD’s Gang Enforcement Unit explained that the 1980s and early ’90s saw the rise of brutal street gangs that brought chaos to the streets of Los Angeles, the most infa-mous being MS-13, the Mara Salvatrucha – and its rival, M-18, also known as “18th Street.”

“MS-13 and M-18 are funded by criminal activity – robbery, extortion, hu-man traffi cking and street-level narcotics sales,” said Aguayo. “Just recently, these gangs have been implicated in three or four murders in the Hollywood area.”

According to Aguayo, because the gangs consist largely of illegal residents from Central America, the government has tried to keep them off the streets by means of mass deportations after arrests are made. In 2009, nearly 130,000 crimi-nals were removed from the United States, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. About a third of them were reportedly arrested for drug-related crimes.

“This has been happening since the 1980s and ’90s. Criminals do their state

time and then are handed over to the feds and deported – ‘deported felons,’ as they are called,” said Aguayo. However, Cen-tral America – a region made up of fragile governments and traumatized populations emerging from years of war and dictator-ship – has not been able to handle the brutal-ity of the hardened criminals, and the result has been staggering. An area known as the northern triangle, consisting of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, now has some of the highest murder rates in the world.

An article in the Latin American Her-ald Tribune, published at the beginning of the year, showed that El Salvador recorded more than 4,300 murders in 2009 – the

highest in more than a decade – in a na-tion of only 6 million. Crime is rampant, and the deteriorating security has allowed Mexico’s drug cartels to gain a foothold on the streets of national capitals and in the lawless jungles.

In June, Guatemalan National Police pointed its fi nger at the ferocious drug cartel Los Zetas after four people were de-capitated – one of the severed heads placed near the steps of the Guatemalan Con-gress. The gruesome discovery proved that America’s southern border is not the only boundary that Mexico’s spiraling drug vio-

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage MattersBy Trevor Frey

It’s MGIC

– Advertisement

Below is a previous article based on the Federal Housing Administration’s (FHA) re-cent increase in monthly mortgage insurance. Private mortgage insurance now makes even more sense for those who qualify…

Okay, not David Copperfi eld type magic but in the “Tri City” sales area (Antioch, Brentwood, and Oakley) inven-tory sure is disappearing. In March and April of 2009 alone over 850 homes were sold between the three cities, compared to only 516 homes for March and April of this year. What this has created is a substantial increase in the actual sales price based on the substantial lack of actual inventory; a 16.7% increase in March, and an 8.7% jump in April. Th e amount of potential buyers has increased, while the amount of inventory has decreased…not magic, statistics.

Statistically speaking, the private mortgage insurance company MGIC has noticed the median increase in sales price, and adjusted their guidelines accordingly. If you are an FHA buyer, and you have a credit score above 680, you’ll want to hear this: Eff ective May 1, 2010 MGIC is mov-ing seven California regions up from their Tier 2 “risk level” to their Tier 1 “risk level”. Th is HUGE change in guidelines will allow would be buyers with a 680 score, versus the previous Tier 2 score of 720 many posi-tives; they can purchase a home using 95% conventional fi nancing, versus 96.5% FHA fi nancing; there is no upfront mortgage insurance premium (MIP) that only in-

creases your loan amount, and debt, from the start; buyers are able to take advantage of any home improvements or appreciation as most lenders allow for a new appraisal to cancel MGIC’s mortgage insurance, versus FHA where you either need to refi nance or wait fi ve years to remove the mortgage insurance; a substantial overall savings in both three and fi ve year periods.

Assuming a purchase price of $250,000, and an interest rate of 5.00%, MGIC’s private mortgage insurance costs over a three year period would be $3,308, versus FHA at $8,438. Again, there is no upfront MIP to deal with and the actual coverage rates are lower than those of FHA. Now that’s truly MGIC!

With the spring and summer real estate markets right around the corner it is important to arm yourself with as much information as possible. Th e beginning of this article touched on the dramatically low inventory our market has to off er, and if you are an FHA buyer continually being turned down because of either cash, or conventional off ers, it might be time to rethink your approach. Now that private mortgage insurance is available at 95% with a 680 FICO score, if you’re able, you should magically convert yourself into a conventional buyer!

lence and those perpetuating it are willing to cross.

Unfortunately, the deportations provide little, if any, silver lining for the United States. MS-13 and other street gangs have maintained their presence in Los Angeles and expanded their opera-tions across the country as far away as Virginia, New England and Alaska. The FBI estimates that their membership across North America is well into the tens of thousands.

“They are all over the USA … there is MS-13 activity at a city, state and fed-eral level,” said Aguayo, adding that the problem extends to the San Francisco Bay Area. “As for me personally, I have had contact with MS members in San Jose.”

According to a report by the Center for Immigration Studies published in Sep-tember of 2008, the group is involved in traffi cking drugs, weapons and people over the border, and is unifying at a continen-tal level, making it far more disciplined, effi cient and dangerous. The report goes on to say that the northern triangle is the epicenter for transnational gang violence, suggesting that the need for international cooperation – from the United States and Mexico to the rest of Latin America – is more important than ever.

Some of that much-needed coop-eration is already taking place. As the violence crosses borders, the LAPD and police departments from Central America have put together an “exchange program,” giving police offi cials the chance to see the

situation from an international level.“There are offi cers from Guatemala

doing ride-alongs with the LAPD, while our offi cers are going down to Central America,” said Aguayo. “It’s clear they don’t do things the same way we do,” al-luding to the struggles police in Central America are trying to overcome. At the beginning of 2010, Guatemala’s National Police chief and top anti-narcotics offi cial were arrested for cocaine traffi cking, high-lighting how serious the drug traffi ckers’ hold over Central American governments and security forces has become.

While the ride-along program gives North American law enforcement a chance to work together, Aguayo stresses that the LAPD’s primary function is to protect the streets of Los Angeles, not assess whether or not an incarcerated criminal could pose a threat to the secu-rity situation in Central America.

“We don’t evaluate whether or not we should deport someone,” he said. “As far as we are concerned, this is a matter for the feds to decide.”

As the federal government’s atten-tion shifts to the remote tribal areas of Pakistan and Yemen, it seems unlikely that serious action will soon be taken to help alleviate the ills that threaten to defi ne the future of Latin America, a re-gion once high on America’s priority list when threatened by the Soviet Union. The communist empire is long gone, but the drug cartels that rose from the ashes of war and instability have slipped in through America’s back door.

Habit from page 9A

In an effort to prevent an incipient lo-cal gang problem from growing into a major one, East County leaders will hold a summit this weekend, educating teens and parents on making smart choices.

District 5 Supervisor Federal Glover, along with members of local police depart-ments and the District Attorney’s offi ce, are holding a gang summit – emphasizing the dangers of aligning with street gangs – on Saturday, Oct. 9 at 4 p.m. at Deer Valley High School. The event is free and open to the public

“There are alternatives to getting in-volved in gangs,” Glover said. “I think that throughout the nation, we start to see more as we continue to grow. It’s like anything else. Some things come along with the growth.”

Glover said he wants to work with other agencies to prevent teens and young people from joining gangs, since they are the most susceptible to temptation. He last held a gang summit in 2007 in Pittsburg, but wanted to organize another one now for the fresh crop of high school students. While the earlier summit informed the public about gangs, the upcoming summit will focus on early prevention.

Ed Diokno, a policy analyst in Glover’s offi ce, said that while the problem isn’t as bad

as in other parts of the Bay Area, gang ac-tivity has increased over the past few years. While groups align themselves primarily with Norteños and Sureños, gangs affi liated with the Crips, Bloods and MS-13, as well as smaller groups, are also active in the area.

“The ties between local gangs and their affi liates are getting stronger with gangs from other areas,” he said. “We’re focusing in on parents and students, and the main message we want to tell them is that there’s help out here. There are choices you can make to ad-dress your needs without going into gangs, without resorting to criminal activities.”

The Antioch Police Department will lead a Gangs 101 class at the summit, teach-ing parents the early signs of gang recruit-ment and how to address them. The event also features presentations by other police departments and the District Attorney’s of-fi ce, showing the consequences of bad deci-sions. A panel of former gang members will talk with students and parents about the ugly realities of gang life. Glover said he is also working heavily with faith-based organiza-tions for this year’s event.

“Gangs themselves are only the symp-toms of what’s wrong in people’s lives,” Dio-kno said. “It could be alienation, drug abuse; it could come from dysfunctional families. The need for protection, the need to belong – all these factors contribute.”

Vote Moore outEditor:

How can Reggie Moore’s slogan be “Stronger Together” when all his actions try to divide the community?

He refuses to meet with community groups like United Citizens for Better Neigh-borhoods and Friday Morning Breakfast Club. He has refused to appear at two candi-dates forums and refused to participate in the Quality of Life Forum.

He doesn’t use his monthly stipend for his phone and Internet so he doesn’t have to answer to his constituents. Seems to me he doesn’t want any “coming together.”

Antioch

Deceptive ballot statementEditor:

In my preparation to vote for the No-vember election, I recently had the pleasure of reading the ballot statement of candidate and current Councilman Reggie Moore, which states, “I led the way on building the Prewett Park Community Center, which will provide a safe place for our children to study and play, and increase library access to Antioch residents.” Intrigued by Councilman Moore’s “claim to fame” statement, I decided to research this matter to assist me and my family in casting our votes for City Council.

According to the City of Antioch’s website, a City Council subcomittee was formed in 1989 to establish a master plan for the community park funded through Mello Roos bonds in the amount of $50 million. The park master plan, approved by the council in 1991, included the new community center to be completed in Phase 2 of the project. Further investigation revealed that in 2006 Mayor Don Freitas and City Manager Jim Jakel brought Lonnie Karste on board to act as project manager to move forward with building the community center.

After concluding that Councilman Moore’s ballot statement was purposely and inherently deceptive, I contacted Moore by

e-mail and asked him to “please explain how you ‘led the way’ in implementing the Prewett Ranch Community Center project, given the fact that planning for this development began 17 years ago – before your election to the City Council – and records clearly indicate that Don Freitas and Jim Jakel, respectively, were the driving force in moving the project forward to completion.”

Furthermore, I asked Mr. Moore to “please explain why you are attempting to take personal credit for a MAJOR commu-nity development project (during an election year) of which you played no part in its creation yet decided to place this fraudulent claim on your ballot statement in order to deceive Antioch voters.”

In light of a recent poll that indicated 63 percent of Antioch residents are dissatis-fi ed with the performance of our current elected offi cials, I passed this information on to several members of our community and collectively we contacted Councilman Moore and asked him to explain his actions. As he has done throughout his four-year term on the Antioch City Council, Moore refused to respond to our questions.

Given the current state of the fi nancial crisis affecting our city and the severe crime issues negatively impacting our neighbor-hoods, do you really want someone like Reggie Moore, who fi les deceptive ballot statements and refuses to meet with or com-municate with concerned citizens, represent-ing our community?

Gary GilbertAntioch

Vote Yes on Measure P Editor:

It’s time for everyone who cares about the City of Antioch to literally “Put your money where your mouth is.” And frankly, I can’t believe I just said that. These are hard fi nancial times for all of us, my family includ-ed, but I can’t in good conscience ignore the fact that if we don’t vote for Measure P, we’re going to lose even more than we’re going to gain by saving a few cents on the dollar.

Do I want to vote for yet another tax? Of course not! The real question is: do I want to see the city I’ve lived in for almost 30 years slide deeper into debt with nothing to show for the sacrifi ces made by so many who used to work for all of us and are no longer here because revenues from parcel taxes, home sales and funds from the state have dropped to a bare minimum?

Enough is enough! It’s time to bite the bullet and do what needs to be done: protect what we still have and fi ght to keep the few police and personnel left that keep our city safe and running smoothly. I don’t want to pick up the phone one day and call for help and fi nd out that there’s no one left to answer the phone.

You can believe me when I say this isn’t an easy decision for me to make, but it’s the only choice on the ballot we have that can help stabilize the city budget.

If Measure P passes, there’s no doubt in my mind that I, along with every other taxpayer, will be watching over the shoulders of the City Council to make sure the money goes where most needed to protect and serve the residents of Antioch.

Barbara HerendeenAntioch

A better vision for OakleyEditor:

I’d like to address frustrated Oakley residents who feel their council doesn’t pay attention. Time and again we have gone be-fore them, voicing our dissatisfaction with the direction in which they are taking our city.

The current City Council believes it is acceptable to heap more and more high-density housing projects springing up like weeds, and pleading with big-box stores and developers to pave over every last inch of ag-ricultural land and cover it with concrete. Do we want our city to become just another East County Shopping Center with traffi c, air and noise pollution even worse than it is now?

I agree with candidates Rodger McKe-on, Paul Seger and even Bruce Connelly that Oakley should be a destination not only for shopping, but for its inherent characteristics. For example, the city’s entrance at Highway 4 and Main Street has a vineyard boasting the oldest vines in the state of California still producing delicious wine. Surely we don’t need to bulldoze the whole lot!

Our city is comprised of many semi-rural areas with farms, vineyards, equestrian activities, and superb bass fi shing. In fact, the local bass fi shing tournaments attract anglers from all over the world.

So why can’t we make Oakley become a better version of itself? How about having a wine-tasting room on some of our vineyards with picnic areas, charming bed-and-break-fasts and nice restaurants on site so visitors could plan to spend a couple of days here and enjoy our heritage? Let’s share the bass tournaments equally among Oakley’s two marinas so anglers can fi sh, eat locally, taste local wines and stay over a night or two.

Oakley’s residents have a unique oppor-tunity here to craft our city they way we’d like it to be: a city whose council and residents can work together for its future growth yet still retain its semi-rural charm.

Oakley is still small enough that, with reasonable compromises, it could encompass all the things we hold dear: rich agricultural farmland producing a plethora of locally grown fruits, nuts, vegetables and outstand-ing wine grapes; aim for medium-density housing with gardens and trails contributing to a stress-free environment; small, locally owned businesses not only in an attrac-tive, revitalized downtown, but throughout Oakley as well.

Oakland has a goal of growing at least 5 percent of their produce locally, and their redevelopment agency is committing to that goal. A new report entitled “Cultivating the Commons: An Assessment of the Potential

for Urban Agriculture on Oakland’s Public Land” released in 2009 identifi es 1,200 acres of vacant and underutilized public land in Oakland that could potentially be used for food production (www.oaklandfood.org/home).

Oakley has the means and resources to do exactly the same, yet the council sees fi t to destroy our agricultural heritage by selling our farmland and building on it. If we want change, then we must do it now! Don’t forget to vote on Nov. 2.

Eve DiamondOakley

Act with determination and focusEditor:

This November, America will speak up by way of casting their vote, and those voices must be heard, from the city to the federal level. Being a citizen of Antioch, I have been victimized over the last few years by the poor choices, ineffectiveness and non-engagement of two Antioch council members, namely Reggie Moore and Martha Parsons.

We “victims” have the opportunity to oust these two in November. It will not be easy, having recently heard that Reggie Moore will have union backing.

Councilman Moore’s exploits regarding the following: the $40,000 he requested for the Halloween Carnival; refusal to meet with law-abiding citizens without attorney ap-proval; refusal to participate in City Council candidates forum; voted against the teen curfew; pushed to settle the Section 8 lawsuit; tried to force the council into creating a Civilian Police Oversight Committee to help bolster the plaintiffs’ Section 8 lawsuit; and sympathizing with the Oakland cop killer. And most recent: lying on his ballot state-ment that he “led the way on the community center project.”

Councilman Moore has been toxic and harmful to our community. Reggie Moore’s continued presence on the City Council for the next four years will destroy our quality of life.

Now is the time to act and to act with determination and focus. If citizens do not work together, collectively, to defeat Reggie Moore’s re-election campaign, Antioch will be stuck with him for another four years.

This November’s candidates will feature Arne Simonson, Gary Agopian and Wade Harper, all of whom truly emphasize the integrity, compassion and focus necessary to guide Antioch into the future.

Lastly, some of us have children that will vote for the fi rst time in their lives this November. Be a parent – ensure that they are indeed registered to vote, walk them through the voting process and spend time with them explaining the importance of their privilege to vote and what it means to their future.

Supporting Dawson, Graves and Steele

Editor:I am writing this letter to support three

candidates for the Town of Discovery Bay Community Services District. Each of these three candidates offers something unique and important to our community, and I know they will each work diligently for our town:

Both Kevin Graves and Brian Dawson were appointed to the board last year, and in the time they have served as appointees, they have accomplished much:

• Kevin Graves is the sitting board presi-dent, and under his leadership, the board has worked productively and effi ciently to get the town’s business done. CSD meetings are often shorter than they have been in recent years, which audience members appreciate. Kevin helped to focus the board on key issues and worked collaboratively with all directors as well as staff to ensure that progress was made on areas of concern to the community, including landscaping, water and wastewater planning, fi scal planning and more.

• Brian Dawson is both a CSD director as well as the treasurer of the Discovery Bay Elementary PTA. He vigorously advocated against shuttering fi re stations and helped bring the issue out to the community at large. He contributed to the formation of the P6 Committee, and advocated for improved parks, including the forthcoming basket-ball court at Regatta Park. Brian has urged greater transparency with the community via a professional website with posted agendas

as well as offi cial e-mail addresses that are subject to public records requests.

• Both Kevin and Brian urge fi scal responsibility, understanding that the cur-rent economy as well as the community as a whole demand that the district run lean while still providing necessary services. They also contributed to the board actions that are leading to the development of a new long-range plan for water and wastewater services.

I am also supporting Chris Steele, who will bring another dimension to the board:

• Chris is a local small-business owner and an active member of the Discovery Bay Chamber of Commerce, serving as CEO/president of the chamber in 2009. In this capacity, he has already demonstrated his commitment to the town, but also represents a key audience that has not been served well by the CSD in recent years – local businesses. As a business owner myself, I think it impor-tant that our local governing board consider the needs of both residents and businesses, and know that Chris will help to ensure that happens.

As an active member of the Discovery Bay community, I frequently attend our CSD meetings and understand the dynamics of our town, and know that all three of these candidates will take a proactive approach to all issues.

For all of these reasons, I am support-ing Kevin Graves, Brian Dawson and Chris Steele in their candidacy for CSD director. I know that if they are elected, each will build on the good work of this year’s CSD board, and the community will continue to progress

Oakley’s agricultural legacy threatened

Editor:Oakley’s General Plan (GP) requires the

city to “Continue to implement (and refi ne as necessary) a Right to Farm Ordinance, which protects ranchers and farmers within an historically agricultural district from nuisance complaints and unreasonable restrictions and regulations on farm structures or farming practices” (GP, Conservation Element 6.1.E).

I believe that Oakley is out of compli-ance with the spirit and intent of the GP and many of its residents, in its transparent quest to attract big-box retail by maximizing our population. Their arguments are paper thin in dismissing those wanting a full GP review.

The council is relentless in its pursuit to change residents’ perception of traditional Oakley, honoring it in concept only. They are visibly hostile toward those wishing to change to our General Plan. It doesn’t re-ally matter if they get 100 or 500 people to applaud another high-density project; they are not acting in an honorable manner when they dismiss us.

As evidenced by their continued stalling in the East Cypress Corridor lawsuit, where two separate rulings require “adequate mitigation for signifi cant impacts to agricul-tural resources.” Greenbelt Alliance failed attempts at reasoning with Oakley suggests, “when farmland is converted to urban use, a requirement that conservation easements be obtained on other land will not replace the converted land.

However, conservation easements can diminish the development pressures created by the conversion of farmland and can pro-vide important assistance to the public and private sectors in preserving other farmland against the danger of the domino effect cre-ated by the project.”

Setting aside acreage or establishing fees to maintain farmland will enhance Oakley’s character when the city fi nally fulfi lls its legal obligation. I would contend they are deliberately tying up the plaintiff’s resources while development consumes farmland without mitigation, and have no intention of complying until it’s too late. Unfortunately, in the meantime, nearly all of Oakley’s aging farmers are instead vulnerable and sell their lands to prospecting developers to aid in their retirements.

Oakley politicians abuse the concept of traditional Oakley when marketing the “country feel” and “country charm” sentiment but they don’t care, and it shows. Meanwhile they charge unabashed toward complete urbanization without committing to the merging of urbanization and, as ob-ligated, “Allow agriculture to continue as a vi-able use of land that refl ects the community’s origins …” (GP, Goal 6.1).

We need action: Oakley’s Right to Farm Ordinance, residential and commercial design guidelines and the GP all need revision or soon to develop Oakley more wisely; Oakley developers choose guidelines compatible with profi t maximization, not character.

With the assistance of local 4-H clubs and sustainable-growth advocates, I will

promote community gardens near high-density developments and within new neighborhoods to satisfy desires to urbanize while maintaining the historical character of Oakley, and satisfying the courts’.

By planning near low-income neigh-borhoods, we can provide a greater sense of community, increase purchasing power by providing food. Redevelopment funds eliminate blight, grow food and guard our General Funds for city services.

No more puppetsEditor:

By now I’m sure that you readers have received a mailer from Jerry McNerney this last week claiming that he is an “Independent

Voice For Us.”That statement couldn’t be further than

the truth. He is “An Independent Voice From Us.” Look at his voting record since he has been in offi ce and you will see that he votes in lockstep with Queen Pelosi 95.2 percent of the time and gets 15 percent from Pelosi’s Donor Network.

He does not work for us constituents but relies totally on maintaining his offi ce by hanging onto Pelosi’s skirt. He voted for the Healthcare bill that will not only bankrupt the country; it will bankrupt most of us also.

Read the fi ne print. We can’t afford any more puppets in Congress.

SPOTLIGHT N BUSINESS Spotlight on Business, provided each week by The Press, presents news and information about our business community. To contribute to this section, e-mail greg@thepress.net.

Trilogy at The Vineyards recently un-veiled its grand $19 million, 34,000-square-foot Club Los Meganos, the centerpiece of Contra Costa County’s premier Active Life-style residential community.

Located in Brentwood, the expansive project by Shea Homes Trilogy generated hundreds of much-needed construction jobs and is expected by local civic leaders to make a substantial economic impact on hard-hit East Contra Costa County.

In recent years, Brentwood and the surrounding region have seen a signifi cant slowdown in new-home construction, so the creation of more than 200 jobs were created over the past two years, 40 of which were full-time positions, thrilled Brentwood Economic Development Director Hazel Wetherford. “Companies and workers involved in Trilo-gy’s construction had a positive economic ef-fect on Brentwood, which is most welcome,” said Wetherford. “The result has been much-

needed revenue and growth for our commu-nity businesses and the city itself.”

“The Shea Homes mission is to be the most respected builder in the U.S. by enhanc-ing people’s lives, and through the construc-tion of this project during these trying times we will certainly enhance the life of our local community,” said Dan O’Brien, area presi-dent for Shea Homes Active Lifestyle Com-munities. “In addition to job creation, it has the potential to become a new wine country

destination with economic, social, recreation-al and cultural benefi ts that extend beyond The Vineyards to Brentwood at large.”

Shea Homes has been creating jobs and actively reinforcing market positions by acquir-ing other properties across the United States, including a recent $10 million purchase of Ju-bilee in Lacey, Wash., southeast of Seattle. In June of 2010, Shea also completed a $10.5 mil-lion multi-phase purchase of The Cascades of Groveland community near Orlando, Fla.

Shea’s Trilogy makes positive economic impact

Jumping on the JumpBunch wagonThe last time Johann Vethavanam enjoyed a coaching gig

so much, he was managing his daughter’s softball team. But lately the owner of JumpBunch Sports and Fitness for Kids has been seeing a different side of sports, one that includes three-legged races, freestyle dancing and a healthy dose of tug-of-war.

“Oh, my gosh – this is so much fun,” said Vethavanam, owner of the East Bay franchise.

“I love sports and I have always wanted to teach. I coached my daughter’s softball team in 2000 and we went undefeated and I won manager of the year. So I took a look at things and thought, ‘I’m good at this’ and I jumped in.”

Jumped into the JumpBunch to be exact, a mobile sports and fi tness program for ages 2 to 12. Convinced that exercise is not only healthy but entertaining, Vethavanam is taking his en-thusiasm – and his gear – on the road; offering half-hour to 45-minute sessions of frivolity, fi tness and education to schools, city recreation programs, private parties and summer camps.

Begun in the late 1990s, JumpBunch locations are scat-tered throughout the country, specializing in structured pro-grams that introduce children to a wide range of sports and activities while building coordination, self-esteem and, Vetha-vanam hopes, a lifelong love of fi tness.

But the real appeal of JumpBunch, according to Vetha-

vanam, is one thing kids crave – variety. “We offer something that other programs don’t and that’s change,” he said. “One day it might be the balance beams and tunnels, the next it might be croquet or fi eld hockey or soccer. We do more than tumbling and gymnastics; we like to mix it up.”

While the JumpBunch programs are structured in terms

of plans that instructors follow and age-appropriate activities and toys, Vethavanam also has the advantage of tailoring his sessions to the group and setting.

“If we’re working with a regular school we have a weekly program. The city recreation programs are six-week sessions, and for birthday parties or summer camps, the time period is different too,” said Vethavanam. “But whatever the group, it’s always, always fun.”

But beyond the fun, there are lessons to be learned from JumpBunch. “We try to instill in the kids the importance of a healthy lifestyle, such as eating right, making sure you have a good breakfast and how it all goes together,” said Vethavanam. “We do a lot of talking about health as well as fi tness.

“You know, I worked for corporate America for the lon-gest time and I was ready for a change, something different from what I was doing before, and this is it. It’s a fantastic feel-ing to know that the kids are enjoying and benefi ting from this (BunchJump programs). It’s wonderful to show up at a school or class and have the kids cheer to see you. It’s good for them, and it’s good for me. It’s a perfect match.”

JumpBunch classes will be offered through the Oakley Recreation Department beginning Oct. 20, and at the Am-brose Center in Bay Point on Oct. 16. BunchJump sessions are currently underway through First 5 in Antioch and space is still available. For registration or additional information, call 925-457-9374 or 925-754-7173.

Johann Vethavanam, owner of JumpBunch, teach-es kids that exercise and fi tness can be fun and healthy.

Social Security, which provides states with funding to assist foster youth in the transition from the care program to independence.

Designed to solicit information on a variety of topics from 17-year-olds about to exit the foster-care sys-tem, NYTD is looking for volunteers, by means of the survey, to document foster-care youths’ thoughts and ques-tions on health care, positive relation-ships with adults, educational goals, financial self-sufficiency and high-risk behaviors. The resulting database will

track the youths, conduct a second survey when they turn 19, and another when they turn 21. All states will col-lect and report their information on a new youth sampling every three years.

“The purpose of the foster sur-vey is to find out ways to help foster youth when they emancipate and help them transition into adulthood,” said Hobbs. “We’re trying to determine (through the surveys) how the current programs that are in place are work-ing, and what needs to be changed.”

Hobbs is hopeful that the new California program will give foster kids a variety of options and a fight-

ing chance at a normal, productive life. “It (the Senate bill) does coincide nicely with the NYTD,” said Hobbs. “The more help we can give these kids, the better – the better chance they have a happy future.”

To make a donation to the survey project – money, postage stamps, gift cards such as Jamba Juice and Star-bucks (as a thank-you to the survey participants) – call Gail Goodman at 530-752-6981 or e-mail ggoodman@ucdavis.edu. Checks should be made to the Center for Public Policy Re-search.

ple who are going to be spending that money,” he said. The current board was appointed and consists of four Brent-wood City Council members, three Oakley council members and two rep-resentatives from the unincorporated areas of the district.

The full board has yet to address the question, Stonebarger added, so no discussion has occurred as to whether all nine representatives might be up for election initially or whether the elec-tions would be staggered.

PG&E watching two local pipelines

In response to the September pipe-line explosion in San Bruno, Pacifi c Gas & Electric has released a list of 100 pipeline segments throughout the state that the company is watching for pos-sible repairs – two of which are located in East Contra Costa County.

PG&E is evaluating 2,066 feet of underwater natural gas pipe near Sher-man Island Levee Road and the north side of the Antioch Bridge to make sure it can withstand earthquakes or soil ero-sion. PG&E spokesman Joe Molica isn’t sure when the engineering evaluation process begun within the past year will conclude, but according to Molica, “We regularly check the river crossing and have found no liquid accumulation.”

The utility company is also moni-toring fi ve segments totaling 7,777 feet between Jersey Island Road and Taylor Road on Bethel Island for possible cor-rosion, but no work has been planned yet.

Molica said the Antioch Bridge and Bethel Island segments were not includ-ed in the company’s top 100 list in 2007 or 2008, but their potential for problems has merited their inclusion in the 2009 list. He stressed that neither pipeline is currently displaying any problems, but are being monitored to see if any work needs to be done in the near future.

PG&E spokeswoman Katie Romans said the natural gas pipeline segments on the list are in no immediate danger, but are marked for long-term planning. PG&E customers can also look online to see maps of any pipeline in their area. Romans added that the company’s regu-lators at the California Public Utilities Commission asked PG&E to release this information to the public following the San Bruno disaster.

“None of the projects listed rep-resent urgent projects or projects that present a public risk,” Romans said. “Our crews make real-time repairs.”

The only other Contra Costa Coun-ty segment on PG&E’s list is located in San Pablo, where 294 feet of pipe are being examined for earthquake readi-ness. According to the company’s web-site, construction will begin next year,.

Romans said the local pipelines (Nos. 15 and 36 on the list) are trans-mission pipelines, the main high-pres-sure arteries of PG&E’s system. Once a year, pipelines are checked by foot and by using gas detection meters in heli-copters. Molica said corrosion is also evaluated every two months and that maintenance work is done once a year to pipeline valves.

Romans said there’s no precise cor-relation between ranking on the watch list and need for repairs – for instance, a pipeline labeled No. 1 on the list doesn’t mean it’s the highest priority or the one

that will be handled fi rst. She said the rankings are an algorithm used by en-gineers.

Pipelines make the list based on the potential of third-party damage (such as construction work), corrosion, ground movement and damage to the physical design of the pipeline.

“I think we’ve seen a greater inter-

est in the steps that PG&E takes to en-sure the safety of our system,” Romans said. “Due to the serious consequences, we use very conservative assumptions.”

Maps of the top 100 pipelines PG&E is monitoring can be found at www.pge.com/myhome/customerser-vice/response/pipelineplanning.

Vacaville crashes DV homecoming

On Friday night, Deer Valley High’s varsity football team was subjected to an uncommon experience – defeat.

The visiting Vacaville Bulldogs ran up and down the fi eld on the Wolverines for most of the game, totaling nearly 600 yards to handily defeat Deer Valley 47-26. It was the Wolverines’ fi rst regular season loss since Oct. 25, 2008.

“They were just better than us tonight; that’s all there is to it,” said head coach Rich Woods. “This is a good football team that we played tonight and they just rolled it up on us.”

After falling behind early, the 4-1 Wolverines clawed their way back into the game. Senior running back Lamontay Marshall scored twice on runs of nine and 38 yards to tie the game at 13. Junior wide receiver Miles Walker then scored on a 27-yard run to take a 20-13 lead. Vacaville’s Melvin Mason scored on a 19-yard run, but when the Wolverines halted a two-point conversion attempt, it appeared they would take a 20-19 lead into halftime.

A Deer Valley fumble by sophomore tight end Elijah Iakopo with less than two minutes remaining in the opening half gave the Bulldogs the ball deep in Deer Valley territory. Vacaville (4-1) tailback Quincy Forte proceeded to score the fi rst of his three touchdowns, and the ensuing

two-point conversion gave the Bulldogs a lead they would not relinquish.

Woods felt that the fumble and ensu-ing eight points was the turning point of the game: “I thought we got back into a 20-19 halftime lead and then we fumbled the football. From that point on, it was downhill for us.”

Marshall rushed for 55 yards and two touchdowns. Fellow senior running back Brian Thomas led the Wolverines with 89 yards. The Deer Valley passing attack nev-er got going; Behr completed only three

passes on the night.The night was no better for the junior

varsity team as Vacaville downed them 28-21.

Woods and the Wolverines will take advantage of their bye week – along with every other Bay Valley Athletic League team except Liberty – to make adjust-ments. Deer Valley’s next game is slated for Oct. 15 in their BVAL home opener against Pittsburg.

For the full story on Deer Valley’s game, visit www.thepress.net.

Freedom 42, College Park 25Freedom High’s offense took con-

trol on Friday afternoon in a 42-25 vic-tory over College Park in Pleasant Hill. College Park, which limited Deer Valley to only 14 points on Sept. 24, was no match for a Freedom team that has been progressing throughout the season.

The win moved Freedom to 3-2, thanks to the efforts of senior running back D’Amora Cooper, who ran for 180 yards, and sophomore QB Dante Mayes, who hurt College Park through the air and on the ground.

Antioch 41, Mt. Diablo 21Antioch High’s varsity football

team will not go into its bye week emp-ty handed. In the Panthers’ final non-Bay Valley Athletic League game, they handily defeated Mt. Diablo at home, 41-21.

Junior running back Eddie Robin-son fi nished with 134 yards on 17 car-ries. Senior quarterback Billy Cloninger went 4-for-9 through the air, racking up 120 yards and one touchdown. Junior Josh Oseguera caught four passes Fri-day night for 79 yards.

With the win, Antioch advances to 1-4. The Panthers will start BVAL play on Oct. 15, going to Oakley to face Freedom.

Antioch High girls varsity golf head coach John Luis admits to doing some dou-ble dipping.

Also the Panthers’ softball coach, Luis supervises a golf team peppered with athletes from the diamond. So far this sea-son, the team looks improved and ready to move up in the standings. “They’ve just been more consistent in their scores,” Luis said. “They’ve played three years and every year improved. They’re not as intimidated.”

Antioch is off to a 3-2 start following a 277-293 win last Thursday over Free-dom. Luis points to athletes such as senior

top golfer Kelsey Cast, a fi rst baseman and pitcher for the Panthers softball team, and No. 2 golfer Nicollette Redfearn, a junior and utility player in the spring, as two rea-sons for the team’s success. Last season, six Panther softball players pulled double duty.

Antioch placed fi fth in the six-team Bay Valley Athletic League last year, and Luis believes this season’s team could move up to third behind teams such as Deer Valley and Liberty. As four of his eight players are se-niors, Luis said this year could be the team’s best chance to compete in the BVAL.

The Panthers need to get better at the short game, the coach said, in order to solid-ify their standing: “They’re athletic, so they should be able to adjust to play decent golf.”

SoCal native digs Liberty volleyball

Over the summer, Liberty High varsity girls volleyball head coach Linda Ghilarducci received a curious e-mail.

Kiana Pinkowski’s grandmother notifi ed the coach, saying that her granddaughter was moving from Yorba Linda, in Orange County, to Brentwood and would be attending Liberty. When Pinkowski’s mother told Ghilarducci that the girl plays volleyball, the longtime coach received a welcome surprise.

After the fi rst practice, Ghilarducci could tell that the sophomore Pinkowski was a natu-ral on the court and could probably be a solid contributor for the Lions for years to come.

“She was very quick and her level of skill was like some of my Division 1 play-ers,” Ghilarducci said of the fi rst impressions Pinkowski made. “She had been well-coached. You could tell she was at a high level.”

In Southern California, volleyball is more popular than it is up here. The sport is Pinkowski’s passion and she’s been playing it since she was 9. Before transferring to Lib-erty, Pinkowski was a promising player on an El Dorado High team in Placentia, for whom playoff appearances are as common as ribbons in ponytails. She spent most of last year on the Golden Hawks’ freshman squad before being promoted to varsity for the postseason.

“It’s way different from SoCal,” Pinkowski said. “It’s a little more slow-paced, but I like it here. Everyone’s super nice.”

Pinkowski’s teammates said she’s been able to blend in and get used to life at Liberty pretty quickly. They’ve also learned a lot from Pinkowski, who leads the team with an average of 3.5 digs per game and is also second on the team in assists.

“She picks us up when we’re down and she’s always wanting to go for the ball,” said sophomore outside hitter Taylor Scriven. “She can help us get to know (volleyball) better be-cause she might know more of the game than we do.”

Now, Pinkowski is trying to help the Lions return to where they used to be. While North Coast Section pennants from recent years dec-orate the south wall of Liberty’s gym, the team went through preseason this year with an un-characteristic 1-10 record.

Ghilarducci, more commonly known as “Gooch,” has been able to move Pinkowski around, starting her at the libero or the setter position when necessary. She said she’s been impressed with how the sophomore has re-sponded to earning a spot in Liberty’s starting lineup.

“I think she just works hard,” Ghilarducci said. “I don’t think she expected anything. I’m really excited that she’s able to give us some-thing.”

The Lions started Bay Valley Athletic League play on Tuesday and will continue fac-ing close competition when they travel to An-tioch to take on Deer Valley on Tuesday, Oct. 12, at 6 p.m.

The 2010 Antioch Speedway auto rac-ing season comes to a close Saturday night with an open competition program on the Contra Costa County Fairgrounds track.

Racing under the open competition mode will be the dirt modifi eds, super stocks and pure stocks. It’s “run what you brung,” meaning there are virtually no restrictions on the race cars.

The speedway ran last weekend to make up for the previous week’s program that was postponed due to a power failure at the fairgrounds. It also brought a close to the speedway’s remaining point races.

Patti Ryland, a 2009 champion, added the four banger 2010 title to her laurels. She went into the fi nal night with a 484-468 lead over Ken Radabaugh and wasted little time, winning her heat race while her rival settled

for runner-up in his heat. Before she started the main event, she had garnered all the points she would need. Ryland wound up fourth, while Radabaugh placed second.

Larry Damitz won the super stock main event, but again it was point-leader Mitch Machado who grabbed the cham-pionship once he started the main event. Team 33, comprising Melissa Hansen and Brad Myers, won the pure stock title.

Dirt Modifi eds: Heat Winners – Mi-chael Paul and Mike Salazar; Main Event– Salazar, Paul and Dan Gonderman. Super Stocks: Heat Winners – Larry Damitz and Lori Brown; Main Event – Damitz, Mike Gustafson and Brown. Pure Stocks: Heat Winners – Wes Bentley and Brad Myers; Main Event – Jim Freethy, Megan Pon-ciano and Myers. Four Bangers: Heat Win-ners – Patti Ryland and Justin Silvera; Main Event – Silvera, Kevin Radabaugh and Humberto Orezzo.

health care experiences. Assess your current health plan’s overall value to you and your family. What do you like – and what do you want to change? Are you happy with the level of service and support you receive? In Cali-fornia, we have easy access to independent, online comparisons of health plans’ quality and service. The State of California Offi ce of the Patient Advocate (www.opa.ca.gov) of-fers ratings of plans based on the quality of care members receive and what members say about their care.

Next, assess your health-care needs for coming year. What has changed for you in the past year, and what changes are com-ing next year? For example, maybe you’ve developed a chronic condition that will re-quire more doctor visits or prescriptions. Or maybe you plan to have a baby. Review your options based on how you live your life.

Next, evaluate a plan’s care delivery sys-tem or network based on your specifi c needs. Do you want the option of going to a large network of doctors, specialists and hospi-tals? Do you prefer a PPO? Or do you prefer a health system with a strong emphasis on prevention and where care is coordinated among physicians?

You should also understand the full ex-

tent of what a plan offers in terms of online tools. Consumers have more demands on their time, and they want easier and faster ac-cess to information so they can manage their health at their convenience. At Kaiser Per-manente, for example, members can e-mail their physicians, order prescriptions online, view their test results, and make appoint-ments for themselves and family members at their convenience – at no additional cost.

Finally, consider all your health-care costs and services before selecting your plan. Don’t automatically sign up for the plan with the lowest premium. Look at the total value you are getting in terms of services and costs. How much did you spend on health care in the past year – including premiums, deduct-ibles, co-pays for physicians, hospital stays and prescriptions? And what did you get for it?

Then look at your options for the com-ing year. For example, what services does the plan provide, and what are the plan’s co-pays for offi ce visits, hospital visits and prescrip-tion drugs? What’s the deductible? Once you know the answers to these types of questions, you’ll be prepared to choose the health plan that’s right for you.

It takes time to be an informed health-care consumer, but it’s time well spent.

Choosing health-insurance coverage is one of the most important health-care deci-sions Americans make. And for millions of Americans with employer-based coverage, that decision is made around this time every year during open-enrollment season.

What should be a thoughtful decision, though, is often made in matter of minutes – and that’s a mistake. Employees need to carefully evaluate their options when consid-ering health care coverage for themselves and

their families, and they should consider these fi ve important steps before making their de-cision:

1) Review your past health care experi-ences.

2) Estimate your health care needs for the coming year.

3) Consider what you want from your physicians and health care providers.

4) Determine which online support tools are important to you.

5) Examine all costs involved in main-taining your health – and the plan’s total value.

First, thoroughly review your past

Tips for choosing your health plan by Christine Paige

Senior Vice President, Kaiser Permanente

Sleep and exercise are proven stress relievers and promoters of health. But more than 90 million Americans don’t get a good night’s sleep, and many fi nd it diffi cult to develop daily exercise routines. People are constantly seeking new products and looking for more ways to become energized.

Many athletes, weekend warriors, business people and homemakers have turned to various energy boosters, including very popular and highly promoted sport and energy drinks such

as Amp and Red Bull. The researchers immersed pieces of

human enamel (outside covering of the tooth and the hardest substance in the body) in 13 popular beverages. The study found that non-cola soft drinks, energy/sports drinks, and commercial lemonade “showed the most aggressive dissolution effect on dental enamel,” and in fact, were up to 11 times more erosive than cola.

Stretching that fixed-income dollar

Some seniors receive a pension while others get by on social security. In either case, the income is fi xed; fi nding free goodies and good deals can be a monetary lifesaver in today’s economy.

Those who took advantage of early-bird discounts are fi nding that restaurants have switched to coupons or club member-ships. I say join them all! Red Robin, John-ny Carino’s, Uno’s and Mimi’s (to name a few) are local Brentwood/Antioch eateries that offer free memberships and occasional coupons. It makes sense to sign up and re-ceive the two-for-one dinners, free muffi ns or birthday burgers. If your favorite seniors have no Internet access, do it for them. Then join yourself and take them for an inexpen-sive and fun dinner. With nine grandchil-dren, I joined everything. No laughing, but I’m offi cially a member of the Chuck E. Cheese Club.

When you sign up for our local J.C. Penney’s free club and spend $250 in one month, you’ll receive a $10 gift certifi cate. Another fun way to save is by participating in Penney’s online survey. When you make an initial purchase at the store, you’ll fi nd a Web address printed at the bottom of your receipt. Simply log on, complete the short survey and print out your 15-percent dis-count coupon.

If you join the Carter’s and Oshkosh

B’Gosh clubs, you’ll receive a coupon each month for 20 percent off, plus … yup, you got it: money! You get quality merchandise at deep discounts and the store gives you bo-nus money to get those birthday gifts for the grandkids and great grandkids.

Now for some free stuff. The California Telephone Access Program offers free tele-phones to California residents (with existing telephone service) who suffer from hearing, mobility, speech or vision problems. The program offers free top-of-the-line cordless phones with all the bells and whistles – liter-ally – for seniors who qualify. All you need is your primary care physician’s signature on the application form. To get an application, call 800-806-1191, or call me at 925-922-0314 and I’ll have an application sent to you.

MedSolutions in Brentwood offers form-fi tted shoes that are free with a pre-scription from a doctor stating that you have been diagnosed with diabetes. There are sev-eral types of shoes to choose from featuring heat-molded inserts to perfectly fi t your foot. You can get one pair per year – and they are quite stylish. Call 925-634-7791.

Brentwood resident Helen Torres cel-ebrated her 80th birthday on Aug. 21 with a party held at the Torres Ranch with 100 guests in attendance. Helen’s birthday was actually on July 22, but due to her busy schedule could not be celebrated until Au-gust.

The guests enjoyed a buffet dinner featuring salads made by Monica More-no, two beautiful cakes created by Lisa

Garcia, and cupcakes supplied by Amy Castaneda Polvorosa.

Helen’s grandchildren – Monica Moreno, Eddie Moreno, Ivan Oseguera, and Ashley and Amber Torres – and niece Jennifer Viramontez hosted the party. Helen requested that in lieu of gifts, peo-ple bring a non-perishable food item to be given to Shepherd’s Gate, a home for bat-tered women.

Robena “Ruby” BrownJan. 5, 1935-Sept. 22, 2010

Ruby passed away at home from lung cancer. She lived in the Richmond area for many years until she moved to the Brentwood/Oakley area in 2001.

Ruby is survived by her loving hus-band, Duane Brown; daughter, Lori Freels of Oakley; two sons, Randy Miller of San Leandro and Danny Miller of Portland, Ore.; and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren who will miss her greatly. The family requests that do-nations be made to the Cancer Society or Contra Costa County Hospice.

William Lowell RickardDec. 18, 1924-Sept. 20, 2010

On Sept. 20, my father lost his battle with cancer. Bill, as everyone called him, was born in Condon, Ore. He served his country during the Korean War and later married my mother.

Knowing that the cancer would eventually become untreatable, we threw

ourselves into every activity imaginable. In May we took a trip to Montana and visited our family and Yellowstone. Dad also enjoyed going on almost every play date that his grandson had.

Dad was a resident of Santa Rosa, Pittsburg, and most recently Discovery Bay, where he lived with my husband, son and I. Dad loved to read Zane Grey and Louis Lamour and he also enjoyed put-ting together photo albums for his grand-children.

His brother, Fred Rickard of Santa Rosa, survives Dad; as do sister, Betty Smock of Portland, Ore.; daughter, Zeta Scollard; son-in-law, Chad; grandchil-dren, Zeta Marie and Justin Scollard of White Sulphur Springs, Mont.; and daughter, Brenda Rickard Jenlink; son-in-law, Jeff; and grandson, Wes Lowell Jenlink of Discovery Bay.

Raeder (Ray) von Uhlit1940-2010

Ray passed away unexpectedly at the von Uhlit Farm in Brentwood on Satur-day, Sept. 25.

He was the second of four children born to George H. and Ruth R. von Uhlit at the family ranch in Napa. His parents and his sister, Martha, preceded him in death.

He is survived by the love of his life, Carol, his wife of 34 years, as well as his loving daughters, Lise von Uhlit of Winters; Bonnie (Tim) Farley of Fre-mont; and Shirley von Uhlit of Dixon; granddaughters, Carrie von Uhlit of Fort

Worth, Texas and Deanne of Fremont; and grandson, Evan Farley of Fremont. Also surviving him is his devoted sister, Greta von Uhlit of Napa, and a brother as well as many nieces and nephews.

In 1977, Ray and Carol moved from Napa to Fremont, where they started their own successful business, Fremont Industrial Lift. But with Ray’s love of farming, he wanted a fruit farm, so in 2002 he and Carol purchased 46 acres of land and started building. He planted 1,600 fruit trees and farmed more than 33 acres of hay. They built their dream home together on the farm and that is where he

lived, loved and died. He felt he was very blessed to be in Brentwood on his beloved farm.

He also loved and built custom cars and would never miss Hot August Nights in Reno, Nev. and spending time with his fellow car friends.

He was so loved by his family and friends. He touched many lives with his gentle spirit and his kind and loving ways. He will be greatly missed.

A celebration of his life will be held Sunday, Oct. 24 from noon to 4 p.m. at their residence, 1400 Chestnut St. in Brentwood.

Talented local singer does Sinatra

Frank Sinatra epitomized the sen-timent and swing of big-band singers in a multi-faceted career that spanned five decades, and East County music lovers will get to enjoy a cocktail, a nice meal and a gifted performer sing-ing Sinatra classics on Oct. 22 at 6:30 p.m. at the Lone Tree Golf Course Event Center in Antioch.

The performer is Mike Spellman – karaoke star, drummer and bass sec-tion leader of Brentwood’s Summer-set Singers. Over the years, Spellman has taken advantage of East County’s many karaoke venues to hone his per-forming skills, taking Ol’ Blue Eyes’ music to new heights by creating an act backed up by a seven-piece band play-ing original Sinatra arrangements.

Spellman’s concerts feature around 18 Sinatra tunes augmented by Spellman’s running commentary about the crooner and his music. Spellman doesn’t try to impersonate Sinatra; his performances are heartfelt tributes to his musical idol delivered in a style that’s both Frank and Mike.

Spellman worked with local pro-ducer/director Steve Kinsella to con-struct his concert and, back in Feb-ruary, nearly packed the Del Valle Theatre in Walnut Creek for the initial performance of “Michael Spellman Sings Sinatra.” Since that auspicious beginning, he has performed six small-er shows, wowing audiences every time. Spellman can also be heard in

the company of other talented singers doing karaoke at Code Brew in The Streets of Brentwood.

Tickets for the Antioch show can be purchased by calling the Lone Tree Golf Course Event Center at 925-706-4232. The $45 price of admission in-cludes dinner (appetizer, salad, main course – petite filet with prawns – and cheesecake). A no-host bar opens at 6:30 p.m.; dinner is served at 7 and the show begins at 8:15.

opinion is justifi ed: Henry ranks third on the team with nine assists and second with 27 steals.

While the supporting cast is stronger than in years past and the Falcons win games with timely contributions from other players, Henry’s most valuable asset is her ability to score goals. On 83 shots through 14 games, she’d tallied 56 goals – more than three times higher than her closest teammate.

“She’s probably our best offensive player because she gets down the pool and gets open, which allows the other girls to release and give her the ball, which is nice,” said senior goalkeeper and co-cap-tain Amanda Jennings.

Henry’s strongest games this season were a seven-goal performance in an 8-6 victory against El Camino and a six-goal performance in a 10-7 win against Liberty in the league opener. As fellow superstar and defending league MVP Lindsay Hull of Liberty also notched six goals, Henry’s performance offset Hull’s, which allowed the other Falcons to beat their rivals.

Beyond her own talent, however, Henry’s teammates say her best trait is elevating the performance of her team-mates. “I think it helps that Taylor is se-rious, but she knows how to have fun,” said Yeshewas. “So whenever we’re yell-ing at each other, if we’re losing, we know to look at what we need to do – and she picks it up for us.”

Shadow Lakes’ panoramic vistas of the Diablo foothills set the scene for a relaxing round of golf. Some holes saw serious contests (a chance to win a car with a hole-in-one) and others quirky challenges (longest marshmallow-ball drive).

Cameron Martin won the tourna-ment trophy as well as the Longest Drive competition. The winner of the Closest to the Hole contest was Brett Berridge.

That evening, the club hosted a dinner with raffl es, silent auction and awards. Impact teams created themed gift baskets, many stocked with items donated from local businesses. The auc-tion took bids for such treasures as a $375 photographic portrait package, a $1,000 gift certifi cate for dental services, an autographed Landon Donovan Los Angeles Galaxy jersey and an auto-graphed Major League Soccer San Jose Earthquakes soccer ball.

Serious or fun, the event raised welcome funds for area soccer players. EDYSL and its Impact division serve

more than 2,000 athletes in Brentwood, Oakley, Knightsen, Antioch, Byron and Discovery Bay.

Impact soccer teams travel outside the area to compete with other high-level teams throughout Northern California. Players are trained at an advanced level by professional coaches and play games on grass fi elds at the city parks of Brent-wood and Oakley.

The cost of fi eld rentals, equip-ment, insurance and regional league fees cannot be covered by increasing fees to

families without preventing some well-deserving players from participating (the league already subsidizes fi nancially challenged players with its Soccer Start program).

EDYSL is a federally classifi ed 501(c) (3) nonprofi t, volunteer organiza-tion. All funds raised go to athletic pro-grams and their administration.

For more information or to make a donation to local soccer, visit www.edysl.net or e-mail President Sash Migay at president@edysl.net.

The East Diablo Impact Boys 94 Black team placed third in the recent Dublin Premier Fall Classic. Despite many injuries and the heat, the team finished 2-1-1 in the tour-nament.

The Impact 94 Black scored seven goals and allowed only five. Of the five goals-against scored, three were off penalty kicks, one from a foul outside of the area, and only one from open-field play.

The Impact 94 Black started with a 2-1 win over Bay Oaks Earth-quakes. Next up was the Sunnyvale SC United 94 Red, ranked in the top 50 of Northern California U16 boys’ teams.

Since spring, Sunnyvale has notched two first-place finishes and one second in highly ranked tour-

naments. But in the Dublin tournament,

Impact 94 Black tied Sunnyvale 1-1 – Sunnyvale’s only goal coming off a penalty kick – earning Impact 94 Black enough tournament points to qualify for the semifinals.

In the semifinals, another team ranked in the top 50 was waiting: Central Valley YSL Dynamo 94 Red, boasting three third-place fin-ishes and one second this year. The Impact lost 3-0.

In the consolation game for third place, Impact 94 Black met a familiar opponent: Livermore Fu-sion SC 94 Maroon. Livermore, ranked 74th, had beaten Impact in the NorCal Spring Season 2-3. Im-pact got its revenge, soundly defeat-ing Livermore 5-0.

a 49 and Christina Gonzales a 54.The win advanced the Wolverine re-

cord to 5-0. Deer Valley will try to keep the staggering streak going when it travels to the Sunol Valley Golf Club on Mon-day for the Bay Area Championship.

The East County Lions headed west last weekend to Pleasant Hill’s Diablo Valley Col-lege to face the Rebels.

In the day’s opening game, the Lions’ Scout level dominated the Rebels on every down. The offense was led by Jay Butterfi eld, who completed several long passes to Sebas-tian Duran. Braxton Copeland and Joseph Luna scored touchdowns on long runs.

After scoring a rushing touchdown ear-lier in the game, Cole Gregerson completed the day with a 45-yard TD strike to Sebastian Duran. The defense was led by Giovanni Lor-rea, Peyton Borrelli, John Puckett, Mason and Jacoby Padilla. Eric and Justin Bergen, and Gregerson, supplied the bone-rattling hits. The Scouts, dominant in their games thus far, are coached by Jeff Houston, Mark Butterfi eld, Danny Gutridge and Steve Bor-relli.

The Pee Wee Lions went to DVC on a mission and didn’t disappoint, registering a 34-0 thrashing of Pleasant Hill. The offensive line of Jason Ternes, Reno Thomas, Emiliano Diaz, Angelo Page, Arnold Cuevas and tight end Jonathon Davis led a dominant rushing performance by running backs Ronnie Rivers (two touchdowns), Abel Ordaz, Bubba Den-toni (one touchdown), Tanner Cooper, Travis Baxter (one touchdown) and Izaiah Paopao.

The Lion line opened massive holes, allowing the running backs to rip off huge chunks of yardage on almost every carry. Rivers and Dentoni scored on long runs, and wide receiver Jaxon Palomo put up six on a reverse. The defense dominated the Rebel of-fense, limiting it to a couple fi rst downs and never letting it cross midfi eld. The Lions now brace for an undefeated Benicia team coming to town this weekend.

East County Lions, Jr. Midgets also topped Pleasant Hill’s Rebels in a 34-0 vic-tory on Saturday behind the scoring drives featuring Dominic Espino, Jesse Gregerson, Victor Saude and Christian Divilla. The Li-ons got strong contributions from offensive and defensive lines to even their record to 2-2. It was the Lions’ fi rst recorded shutout of the season behind a defense that forced two criti-cal turnovers to set up scoring drives on both possessions.

The Lions, coached by Dave Smith, scored in all four quarters of the game and enjoyed solid performances on both sides of the ball. Behind a strong running game and an effi cient and effective passing performance, the Lions evened their season record to 2-2 and looked poised to make a strong move to improve their standings in the DVYFC.

The East County Midgets started slowly against a tough Pleasant Hill Rebels team. An error by the Rebels resulted in a 45-yard fum-ble recovery for a touchdown by Walter Cruz; Dominic Visentin kicked the extra point.

The next TD was scored by Cruz on a pass from Lance Coleman, followed by a Jamaun Charles interception returned 30 yards for a touchdown. The defense of Qinn Sipsy, Christain Cecchi, Alex Camilli, Ja-maun Charles, Isaiah Cambell, Alex Barlett, JT Permente, Lance Coleman, Walter Cruz and Gabrial Qureshi played an outstanding game.
