Patriotism rolls in RivertownIt took a lot of wrangling

and hoping, but this year, River-town once again played host to a patriotic Antioch tradition – the Fourth of July parade.

On Monday morning, about 4,000 people fl ocked to Second Street as the parade returned to Antioch’s historic downtown area after a year at Somersville Towne Center. It was a fi tting tribute to America’s birthday, as members of veterans’ groups and several packs of Boy Scout troops marched proudly down the parade route.

Walter Ruehlig, an Antioch Unifi ed School District board member, was one of the main organizers of the volunteer-managed event, along with Allen Payton, Louise Green and Lori Chalifoux and the Kiwanis Club of the Delta-Antioch.

Budget OK for now, but trouble later

Casting a cautious eye toward the future, the Antioch City Coun-cil last week passed its $34.5 million general fund budget for the upcom-ing fi scal year.

Following negotiations with employee unions plus austerity mea-sures, Antioch offi cials were pleased that they bought a bit of breathing room. They were able to chip away at a general fund defi cit spending amount that a few months ago to-taled more than $1 million, reduc-ing it to a little more than $300,000 for the 2011-12 fi scal year.

As revenues dropped sharply following the housing crisis, Antioch has worked to get its expenses in line, but the process has been painful. Currently, 145 city positions are va-cant – a 36-percent vacancy rate, ac-cording to City Manager Jim Jakel. Employees have also taken volun-

tary, as well as negotiated, pay cuts.“It’s pretty remarkable to be in

Antioch: The Orchard at Slatten Ranch (925) 779-1844

Cleanup slated for Saturday

The Antioch Police Department is excited to announce the next installment of the Neighborhood Cleanup Program.

The event will occur on Saturday from 9 to 11 a.m. Volunteers should report to the City Hall parking lot, 212 H St. in Antioch. Volunteers will receive instructions and the equipment necessary to accomplish the goal. The targeted area is within walking distance.

Excluding inclement weather, future Neighborhood Cleanup events are scheduled for the fi rst Saturday of every month and the locations will be announced in advance.

This is a collaborative community effort which involves active participation from United Citizens for Better Neighborhoods (UCBN), community volunteers, the Antioch Police Department Crime Prevention Commission, the Neighborhood Watch Program and the Public Works Department.

The City of Antioch Neighborhood Cleanup program is not just for residential neighborhoods. It is a program that will change venues on a monthly basis and it will include business and commercial areas as well. Neighborhoods that are free of trash and refuse are inviting, and a clean community instills a sense of community pride.

Firehouse to help rescued pets

When the new Fire Station 93 opens on O’Hara Avenue later this summer, the old station on Second Street won’t be va-cant for long. The Oakley City Council has directed staff to enter a lease agreement with Homeless Animals’ Lifeline Organization (HALO).

“We are so excited, of course, but noth-ing is in writing yet,” said HALO President Tamara Reed. “This is such a wonderful op-portunity to be able to use the fi re station as a place to house our rescued dogs and cats until we fi nd loving homes for them. This will be our fi rst base location since we start-ed 13 years ago.”

HALO is an East County nonprofi t that rescues dogs and cats from shelters be-fore they are euthanized. HALO volunteers open up their homes as foster families to these animals until someone adopts them. Last year, HALO adopted out 449 dogs and 237 cats. Dogs and cats in the care of vol-unteers are groomed, receive medical treat-ment and are taught to socialize with other animals. According to HALO’s proposal, the organization will renovate the fi rehouse into an adoption center to better serve the public.

Last week, the Oakley City Council directed staff to draft a lease agreement to allow HALO to set up operations at the fi re-house. The fi nal terms of the agreement have not been ironed out, but HALO is expected

to pay about $100 per month for 18 months. The decision was particularly important to Councilwoman Pat Anderson, who adopt-ed a Labrador puppy from HALO months after her dog was struck by a car and died.

“I wasn’t going to do dogs again,” said Anderson. “But my neighbor said, ‘You need to go see Joyce at HALO’. (The dog) is doing just fi ne. He saved me. And so did you (Joyce) save me. I certainly support this.”

Joyce Sanderson, HALO’s dogs adop-tion manager, has been volunteering with the organization since the beginning. She es-timates that 4,000 dogs have passed through her home over the years. Sanderson is pre-paring to retire from HALO, so she asked the council to consider HALO’s proposal to transform the fi re station into a state-of-the-art cat and dog adoption center.

While HALO focuses on fi nding loving homes for animal companions, the program also does community outreach. HALO of-fers Angel Ears, a program that allows chil-dren to read to therapy dogs – an experience that improves the child’s confi dence and self esteem. HALO also recently launched Pets for Vets, a program that adopts dogs and cats to veterans for free. Reed would also like to create a youth outreach program, K-9 Con-nection, that would allow troubled teens the opportunity to work with dogs and cats and learn leadership skills and responsibility.

“We love the animals, we love the peo-ple and we want to help the local residents,” Sanderson said.

Vice Mayor Kevin Romick said he

supported the partnership between HALO and the city because HALO’s proposal pre-sented a unique opportunity to enhance the city’s motto to “A Place for Families and Pets in the Heart of the Delta.”

Reed initially came to Oakley staff with a proposal to move into the portables on the Moura Property on O’Hara Av-enue, but HALO’s mission didn’t quite fi t what the city was looking for at that loca-tion; however, staff kept HALO in mind when considering what to do with the fi re station. According to the Downtown Spe-cifi c Plan, the land surrounding the fi re station will eventually be used for park-ing, but until signifi cant progress is made on downtown renovations, the building would remain vacant. While Reed and her army of volunteers know the arrangement will be temporary, they’re excited about the possibilities.

Some of Reed’s ideas include offering a mobile veterinary clinic for low-cost vacci-nations, spaying and neutering and dog and puppy training classes. The clinic could also work with the city to transform the grassy area adjacent to the fi re house into a public dog park.

“Once we sign the lease agreement, it won’t take us long to get things ready,” said Reed. “And soon we’ll be able to fi nd good homes for more abandoned cats and dogs in East County.”

Th inking About a Short Sale or Foreclosure?Th e Law you Should Knowby Joan Grimes, Esq.

– Advertisement

Before you consider a short sale or foreclosure, here is the law you should know.

First, there are two types of debts. Th ey are unsecured and secured. Unsecured debt is the bare promise to pay. Th e most common form is credit card debt. Secured debt, on the other hand, has two parts. Th e fi rst part is the bare promise to pay which on a car loan or real estate loan is the Promissory Note. What makes secured debt diff erent than unsecured debt is the security given by the borrower to ensure the promise is kept. Th is security on real property is called a Deed of Trust.

Second, on real estate loans, there are two diff erent types of promises to pay. Non-Recourse or Recourse. A Non-recourse loans is (1) the loan or loans obtained to purchase a 1-4 unit property in which the borrower occupies at least one unit or (2) seller carry back. Everything else is recourse debt i.e. the refi nance of the real property, lines of credit, the loan or loans used to purchase a rental property.

Th ird, personal liability depends on whether you do a short sale or foreclosure and whether you have a non-recourse or recourse debt. If you do a short sale, you can have personal liability unless it is waived by the lender. Eff ective January 1, 2011, on a fi rst deed of trust on a 1-4 unit property, the lender should be agreeing to waive any defi ciency in a short sale in accordance with SB 931, but you will need to make sure the correct language is in the settlement letter. If a property is foreclosed in a non-judicial trustee sale, you will not have any personal liability as to the loan that is foreclosed on because California is an anti-defi ciency state i.e. the lender waives its right to come aft er you on the loan that they foreclosed on. However, if there are junior liens to the foreclosing lien, they will have the right to sue you aft er the foreclosure if the junior lien(s) are recourse loans. Th ese loans are called “sold

out” junior i.e. they lost their lien, but they still have the promise to pay and thus have the right to sue you on the promissory note.

Fourth, in every short sale or foreclosure, there are tax implications. Th e IRS wants to know two things. (1) Did you make any money on the deal and (2) Did you borrow any money which was not repaid. If you made money on the deal including taking out cash to buy another house, buy a car, pay off credit card, you may have gain. If you borrowed money which is not repaid either through a short sale or foreclosure, you may Cancellation of Debt Income (“CODI”). Th ere are exceptions to the CODI, but you should “know” not “think” the tax implications before a short sale or foreclosure.

In conclusion, a short sale or foreclosure without legal advice is like jumping into the middle of the ocean with no life vest. Don’t do it. A short sale or foreclosure can stay on a credit up to 7 years. Do not take on liability which could have been eliminated or reduced with fi rst obtaining legal advice.

Help is available to you. I see people every day for consultations on short sales and foreclosures for a fl at fee of $300. If you end up needing to fi ling bankruptcy, the fee is a credit against the bankruptcy fees.

Furry friends find Safe Haven in Antioch

Sometimes the best ideas are born of the simplest desires. To Delta Animals Safe Haven (DASH) President Rick Stirrat, the idea was simple: create a cooperative animal rescue and adoption center to augment the over-burdened Antioch Animal Shelter, and bring down the euthanasia rate for animals in East County.

“The idea for DASH grew out of animal advo-cates who began meeting when Antioch’s budget got shot and funding for Animal Services (which runs the Antioch shelter) were so severely cut,” said Stirrat. “So we were meeting with HALO (Homeless Animals’ Lifeline Organization) and HARP (Homeless Animals Response Program) to come up with some fundrais-ing ideas. And it was frustrating because every idea became so complicated. So I fi nally said: if we’re not going to do this, what do we want to do? And some-one immediately said we want a no-kill shelter. And we took it from there.”

So with a goal in mind, Stirrat and other volunteers as well as representatives from HALO and HARP be-gan fi ne-tuning their plan. The result was a cooperative rescue and adoption center in the Delta region where animals can be brought, and if necessary housed, for the remainder of their lives.

Think Tony LaRussa’s Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) on a smaller scale.

“In my vision, when I model DASH, it’s very much like that,” said Stirrat, a longtime ARF volunteer. “Our primary mission is still about helping the Antioch shel-ter and lowering their kill numbers. But our idea is also to have a facility. No rescue groups out here have that. They’re all (working curbside at) PetSmart or Trader

Joe’s. No one but Antioch has a center where you can go to meet the animal.”

With an estimate cost of $200,000 annually to run their vision, Stirrat and his board plan to leave no stone unturned when it comes to funding opportunities, includ-ing looking into grants and raising seed money. Stirrat understands that the success of DASH will ultimately be tied the cooperative end of the project. Garnering food, supplies and even a facility through their efforts are all part of the vision and overall business plan.

“Anything that is cooperative is about people pull-ing their resources and buying power and leveraging that into fi rst and foremost creating the shelter,” said Stirrat.

“Another goal is to have an in-house veterinarian who will provide services to rescue groups at nonprofi t rates. Every rescue group’s vet bills are always the biggest ex-pense.

“By saving money we are able to save more animals and the same for the city (Antioch). The city saves money and that’s where it becomes a cooperative. We know we have a lot of mountains to climb, but we are garnering a lot of support. We’ve very excited.”

One of the goals of the Delta Animals Safe Haven organization is to fi nd rescue animals – like these smiling pooches – permanent homes in the community.

JULY 8, 2011 COMMUNITY THEPRESS.NET | 5A

I lost $12 the other day. I know: that’s not much money, but it really bothered me. I had given a $20 bill to my son for a couple of Wetzel’s Pretzels and he dutifully handed over all the change. I stuffed it into my pocket and went on

with my day.A couple hours

later I picked up my 18-year-old daughter from the Antioch Waterpark. She got a summer job there but is still in the process of learning how to drive, so when I pulled up to the curb I hopped out so she could drive home. I

reluctantly got into the passenger seat, which I have recently renamed The Chair of Doom, and handed her the keys. I’m also teaching my 16-year-old son how to drive, so you can imagine the stress I’m under. Thank God the BevMo Nickel Sale is on right now.

I believe it was during this swap that the aforementioned missing $12 escaped from my pocket. When I arrived home, still under the impression that I had it tucked safely in my pocket, I decided to put it into my wallet. Plung-ing my hand into my pocket, I felt only some coins. I checked the other pocket. Nothing.

I casually searched around the kitchen, not panicking just yet. I checked drawers and the usual spots where I put things of importance like reading glasses and car keys – but no money. I checked my wallet, already sure it wasn’t there, but looked any-way, and a few minutes later I checked again. My frenzy was beginning to spiral.

”Kids! Have you seen any money lying around? I think I lost that twelve dollars you gave me, Ryan.”

“No, Mom. I gave it back to you, remember?” I was already on my way to the garage to search the fl oor of my car. I checked my pockets again. Then it hit me; the Waterpark! It must have slipped out of my pocket when I got out so Mary could drive! Could it still be there? I asked my son if he wanted to drive me over and look. Of course he did. Yes people, we are talking about 12 lousy dollars! Is this a sign of senility? My big gas hog of an SUV probably bumped the cost to $12 just to drive there!

Into the Chair of Doom I went. A few terrorizing minutes later we were there and I hopped out, scouring the gutter and street – but of course, no wad of bills lying about. Let’s face it: with all the kids and people coming and going, what were the odds that it was still there?

“It’s not here,” I said sadly, getting back in the car.

My son didn’t care. “Can I get some food at Taco Bell?” he asked. Rats! I could have used the $12 for his food.

Once home, I continued searching the same spots over and over like a fl y repeating its fl ight pattern again and again. I actually thought the money might miraculously appear, but it didn’t. I needed to stop the madness and move on with my life. I wracked my brain trying to reconstruct the chain of events that followed right after Ryan handed me the money, but concluded that the money was most likely now in the hands of a giddy 7-year-old buying chili cheese nachos at the Waterpark snack bar. With my money!

That night I fell asleep thinking about it, and the next day woke up thinking about it. I almost had to seek counseling! Thankfully with each day I’m coping with the loss of that money and still hold out hope that one day it’ll turn up in a laundry hamper or under the couch, nestled in a dust ball.

I’m a lot more careful with my money now, since I nearly suffered a nervous breakdown over this – and no, this is not some pathetic attempt to get people to send me 12 dollars … though that sure would make me feel better.

Time trekker gets misty at YosemiteThere is no ordinary light here; no

ordinary marking of time. You feel it most acutely at dawn and dusk, when in midsummer the sun rises as late as it sets early. The horizons in this place are outlined by granite walls thousands of feet tall. You

must look way up to see the sky.

The last morning star had been washed from the east two hours before I began my climb to Yosemite’s Vernal and Nevada falls. The sun was up, but something was blocking it from view, something standing 4,800 feet above the valley fl oor: the fortress

of granite called Half Dome, its sheer face still stained with the blue-grey of twilight.

The stillness was eerie. Most of the hikers, climbers, campers and tourists that crowded the valley’s 7 square miles were still asleep. The scavenging bears had retreated from parking lots and campsites and were headed for the sanctuary of Tenaya Canyon and the trees below Ribbon Fall, far from the distressing two-legged creatures.

As I hoisted myself up the trail skirting the Merced River’s perpetual thunder, I was struck by how Yosemite puts large matters into perspective. The scale of this place is measured not only in space – in the loft and mass of its walls of stone and daring

plummet of its waterfalls. It’s measured not only in the canyon-carving force of its rivers. The scale of this place is measured in time: 15 million years ago the Merced was a mere creek zigzagging through a shallow valley half its present elevation. As 10 million years passed, the Sierra’s granite backbone drove upward and the Merced engraved a V-shaped valley. Half Dome rose to 5,000 of its present 8,800-foot mark.

In the chill of dawn, as the shadow of the valley’s south walls rappelled down the north walls across a mile of space, I tried to picture the next chapter of Yosemite’s tale. A million and a half years ago, a river of ice fi lled this valley to the brim. As the millennia unfolded and the glacier retreated, it sculpted the battleship prow and pilothouse of Washington Column and North Dome, chiseled a slit beside Yosemite Point that

would become the spout of the tallest waterfall on the continent.

I closed my eyes and fast-forwarded to 12,000 B.C., to a Yosemite I would still not recognize. Half Dome had grinded skyward to its present level, but the valley was deep underwater. And I was standing on the residue of the silt that fi lled the bottom of that lake: the valley fl oor of A.D. 2011.

My existence had been put in perspective, but so had Yosemite’s. Sure, I’d lived a paltry 61 of the valley’s 15 million years on earth. A wisp. But wasn’t Yosemite’s paltry 15 million of earth’s 4½ billion a wisp? I came to the Vernal Bridge and watched the river, like time, race beneath my feet – like time, inch beneath my feet.

But earth was rotating beneath sun; day was in relentless ascent. Pressed for time, I hadn’t the luxury of meditating on the nature of Time. If you target Yosemite’s Mist Trail between Memorial Day and Labor Day – vacation time, tourist time – you start early.

I struck upward and eastward, where the solar fountain was spraying an aura of palest gold behind the silhouette of redwoods on the fall’s rim. Only a handful of hikers, some bound for Half Dome’s famed perch, joined in the ascent.

When I reached the trail’s fi rst granite stair, it was clear that the winter and spring of 2010-11 had created a snarling beast. Heavy snow had become heavy water in

GOOD NEWS ON CITI SHORT SALESIf you have a Citibank loan, I have

some encouraging news for you if you are considering a short sale. Citibank has come a LONG way over the past several years in regards to how they view short sales. They used to be quite difficult to work with, but that is changing rapidly. Like many lenders, they have a new attitude in regards to short sales, and they are staffing up, reaching out to borrowers, and even offering financial incentives. [Warning: Most of the good news I’m about to share with you mostly only applies to loans owned by Citibank. If they are simply servicing the loan for someone else, you may still have a battle on your hands.]

They have staffed up and streamlined their data collection process so they are losing less documents. In 2009, it was taking 120 days on average to close a short sale. But that figure has dropped to 83 days. Part of the change is that in the past the homeowner was the one pushing for the short sale, and Citibank was the one playing coy. Now, they are the ones reaching out to the homeowner

to suggest and assist with a short sale if their loan mod attempts are not successful.

Citibank has also started offering incentives to certain homeowners in distress. In 2009 they were averaging about $1,500. In 2010 that rose to about $4,000. And so far in 2011 the average is an eye-popping $12,000! The incentive is on a case-by-case basis and is predicated on the homeowner’s financial situation and other factors.

So if you have a Citibank first or second loan, and a short sale is your next best option, the processing of your short sale should be much improved. And if your loan is a true Citibank loan, meaning they aren’t just servicing the loan, you may have a nice payday at the end of the transaction! Call me if you have a Citibank loan and want to discuss your options.

these high places of the world. Droplets had converged with trickles; trickles with rivulets; rivulets with streams; streams with creeks; creeks with rivers in a crescendo of mass and momentum. The Merced was set on full boil.

It was my fourth trip up the Mist Trail, a mile and a quarter of tall, steep and slippery granite steps to Vernal Fall; a further 2 miles to Nevada Fall. Now, in 2011, I watched in awe as the Sierra’s winter melt rocketed down the riverbed, ricocheted off boulders like sparks in a foundry, fumed like steam off a kettle. The Mist Trail had morphed into the Suffocating Torrential Downpour Trail. I donned my poncho. This climb was idiotic enough to be really appealing.

Like a kid in a splash park I giggled and groaned my way up to the sun-dried sanctuary of the top. Along the way, rainbows exploded through sheets of wind-whipped spray. Just below Vernal’s broad

launching ramp, up close and personal, the fall was barely visible through the monsoon of moisture; my thoughts barely audible through the barrage of water – tons per second – slamming onto the rocks below.

It wasn’t till later that day atop Glacier Point, as I gazed far down across Illilouette Gorge to the falls I’d climbed, that I came full circle. From stillness to stillness. The noise of Vernal and Nevada failed to carry up here; the voice of the river of time had fallen silent. I sat on the warm granite 3,200 feet above the valley fl oor and closed my eyes; felt the past and future fall off me like a garment. I existed in the naked now, the now of rock and water and the consciousness to know them.

I opened my eyes and time fl ooded back into the cosmos. Another world was calling, a world of obligations, deadlines, the tick of clocks. But a world of memories – good ones. I gave the valley, spread beneath me like a banquet table, one last taste.

Boston by way of ‘Babylon’Jillian Butler’s dream of attending the

Boston Conservatory to study musical the-ater is now a reality, as the 2011 Liberty grad recently picked up a $10,000 scholarship from “Beach Blanket Babylon.”

Each year the San Francisco produc-tion of “Beach Blanket Babylon,” the world’s longest-running musical revue, awards three scholarships through its Steve Silver Founda-tion Scholarship for the Arts program to an as-piring singer, dancer and actor. Butler wowed a panel of local celebrity judges with perfor-mances of Broadway standards such “I’m Not Afraid of Anything” from “Songs For a New World,” “Mama Who Bore Me” from “Spring Awakening” and “The Phantom of the Opera” from the show of the same name.

“I couldn’t believe it when they fl ipped the check and I saw my name,” Butler said. “I’m just so grateful. I was either going to UCLA or Boston Conservatory, and the only thing standing in my way of going to Boston was fi nances. So with this scholarship, I’ll be able to go to my dream school – and I couldn’t be more excited.”

Her role models include “Wicked” stars Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth plus her idol Sutton Foster, who won the award for Leading Role in a Musical at this year’s Tony Awards, celebrating Broadway’s best, for “Any-thing Goes.” Butler had the chance to meet Foster and was encouraged by how down-to-earth and kind Foster is – sharing tips and tricks about the trade.

Four years at Boston Conservatory is part of Butler’s strategy for following her dreams to Broadway. Once she completes her education, she’d like to move to New York and pursue a career in musical theater. Her dreams of per-forming on Broadway were inspired by her fi rst taste of musical theater when she performed in Excelsior Middle School’s production of “The Music Man.” That was it for Butler; she’d caught the acting bug. In addition to participating in school productions, Butler also attends workshops and drama camps to better understand the art of live performance.

While some dream of performing on Broadway for fame and fortune, Butler has a different perspective. “Fame is not important to me,” she said. “Musical theater and perform-ing are my passion. I want to be able to connect with an audience and share a story with them each night. That’s what’s special about musical theater. Every night is slightly different than the night before, so each performance is special to each audience. It’s a magical experience.”

The Discovery Bay resident, who leaves for Boston in August, said she can’t imagine doing anything other than performing, so she plans to take her higher education seriously. While she’s excited to join the small and close-knit arts community at Boston Conservatory, she knows the competition will be thick, but she’s looking forward to the challenge.

“I would love to be a part of a Broadway show,” Butler said. “I don’t have to be the lead, but just to be a part of a show like that would be the most amazing thing. I know it’s going to be tough, but I know I can do it. Studying at the Boston Conservatory is going to be de-manding mentally and physically, but this is my dream and I’m going to do whatever it takes.”

Jillian Butler recently received a $10,000 scholarship from “Beach Blanket Babylon,” which she’ll use toward her education at the Boston Conservatory in the fall.

Jim and Brenda D’Amico took their Oakley Press to the music capital of America –Nashville, Tenn. – with Robert and Deb-bie Kegle and kids to the 2011 CMA Music Fest. The group’s

whirlwind week featured country music’s biggest stars in con-cert, plus a convention, celebrity softball game and tours of Op-ryland and Ryman Auditorium. Thanks, folks, for giving your Hometown Weekly Newspaper an earful of terrifi c tunes.

The Contra Costa County Board of Supervi-sors (BoS) will head back to the bargaining table next week to review – and possibly approve – a new supervisorial redistricting map for the county.

Every 10 years as dictated by the federal census, electoral districts are required to redraw their boundaries to accommodate changes and/or growth in population.

Following a series of community workshops and public comment periods, the BoS pared down its choices on June 28 to include three possibilities. County staff was instructed to bring those three maps back to the board on July 12 with some revi-sions.

“This is my fi rst time doing this,” said Pat-rick Roche, Contra Costa County project planner. “And it’s defi nitely challenging because there are, as you can imagine, many ways to draw a map. But we’re working on it and we fully appreciate how im-portant this is for the board. It’s coming along.”

Of the 13 original concepts and proposals, the supervisors agreed to further consider options six, nine and 12.

Concept six is a hybrid of District 1 Supervi-sor John Goia’s original map proposal, and meets the BoS guidelines that include maintaining each district’s population within 5 percent of the oth-ers and avoiding splitting communities and cities where possible. Concept six would give Goia the in-corporated cities of El Cerrito, Pinole, Richmond

and San Pablo and its surrounding unincorporated areas as well.

Map nine was fi rst proposed by District 2 Su-pervisor Gayle Uilkema and modifi ed by District 3 Supervisor Mary Piepho.

“The number-one thing we’ve been hearing is that people want to keep the cities whole,” said Piepho. “And I think that is very important. This proposal (with some amendments) does that. It would essentially shrink my district and put all of Walnut Creek in District 2 and leave Alamo and San Ramon intact. It also puts Bay Point in Dis-trict 4 (Supervisor Karen Mitchoff).”

Proposal 12 was Mitchoff’s recommenda-tion, and amended to adjust where the district line splits through Walnut Creek. “They’re trying to get it down to two districts,” said Roche. The current boundaries, set after the 2000 Census, split Walnut Creek three ways.

Roche and his staff look for a few key items when putting together maps, including hitting the 5-percent population target, distribution of ethnic and racial demographics, and maintaining com-munities of interest, compactness and geographic cohesiveness.

When the board reconvenes on July 12, staff will present the three maps for review by the super-visors, who can either agree on one option or send it back to the drawing board. Either way, said Roche, the plan is to complete the process by Oct. 31.

“This year’s event was a tremen-dous success, given the fact that it’s all volunteer-based,” Mayor Jim Davis said. “Fourth of July has always been an im-portant event in the city of Antioch and we’re happy to have it back this year.”

Several walks of life participated in this year’s parade. A bugler from the Sons of Italy rode in a classic car play-ing “That’s Amore.” Also augmenting the event’s diversity were the Knights of Columbus, the Islamic Center of East County and Knightsen 4-H.

Another of the parade’s highlights were fl oats from local dance groups such as Dancers Elite and Melody’s Dance Studio. At each intersection along Sec-ond Street, the dancers stopped and per-formed to delighted crowds.

Toward the end, one of the more popular participants was the procession of low-rider-style classic vehicles from the Antioch-based Luxurious Nor-Cal car club. Their sharp paint jobs and enter-taining suspensions were a big hit.

“It was just fun to come out and bring all the cars out,” Luxurious Nor-Cal President Tone Cuevas said. “It’s a good feeling to come back out – and we’ll be back next year.”

Dancers Elite took home the Mayor’s Award for Best Patriotic Music Perfor-mance. East County Military Families earned the award for Best Patriotic Float. American Legion Post 161 was named the Best Patriotic Club. The Sons of Italy claimed the award for the Best Patriotic Cultural Group and Boy Scout Troop 151 earned the title of Best Patriotic Scout Troop.

Historical dwelling falls on Hard times

Editor:It’s probably safe to say if you

asked a majority of Antioch residents who Roswell Butler Hard was they would have no idea. In fact, Mr. Hard was one of the most infl uential and, by some accounts, most powerful fi gures in Antioch’s early history. He was a county supervisor, county sheriff and the fi rst mayor of Antioch.

In 1869 Mr. Hard constructed a two-story brick home for himself and his wife on First Street in Antioch. It was described in the newspapers as one of the most beautiful and costly homes in the county. The home was constructed entirely of brick manufactured in Antioch. It served as the meeting place

for the fi rst City Council in the newly incorporated City of Antioch. Later the home became the fi rst property in Antioch to be listed on both the State and Federal Registry of Historic Sites.

In 1979 the property was purchased by the Antioch Redevelopment Agency. Over the years it has sat empty and been allowed to deteriorate to its present dilapidated state. Due to poor security it has been vandalized and is frequently occupied by vagrants. At present the property has become both a legal and fi nancial liability to the City of Antioch.

In 2009 a group of concerned Antioch citizens formed the Friends of Roswell Butler Hard House. It is a 501c3 nonprofi t registered with the State of California. Our mission is to work for the preservation and restoration of the Hard house. The group includes the former city engineer and a former City Council member as well as people with project management and fundraising skills.

After almost a year of research, planning and meetings, we presented our plan to the City Council in May of 2010. The proposal was that the city would sell the property to the nonprofi t for a nominal fee, at which time the group would assume legal and fi nancial responsibility for the home.

Our restoration plan was based on a study prepared for the city in 1991 by a San Francisco architectural fi rm. The planned uses included converting the upper fl oor to offi ces to help defray upkeep costs with the ground fl oor restored to its original appearance. When completed, it would be open for tours and available to the city and community

for special events. The project would require no city funding.

The plan also allowed the city to recover the property in the event certain milestones were not met. It appeared to be a win-win for the city, the citizens of Antioch and the home.

Instead of the enthusiasm that was expected, to our surprise the proposal was met with “we can’t appear to give away a city asset” and “we can’t afford another ferry boat.” The plan was sent back to committee. Then it was delayed by the City Council election and the city budget talks. Our group has waited patiently and are now ready to resubmit the plan at the July 12 City Council meeting.

We urge everyone to take a few minutes, drive down town to First Street and look at the home. It’s hard to miss. It’s the one with boarded-up doors and windows and overgrown grounds. Ask yourself as an owner of this property: am I proud of this? Then imagine it restored to its original grandeur.

If you share our vision, please come to the July 12 council meeting or phone or e-mail your council members and voice your support.

David BrinkPresident, Friends of Roswell Butler

Hard House

The mojo is backEditor:

Like love and marriage, a horse and carriage, the Fourth of July and the word celebration go hand in hand. Though it’s been a good 24 hours since the 2011 Antioch Fourth of July of parade faded

into the local history books, can you honestly blame me for still feeling the goose bumps? After a year’s downtown’s absence, Antioch got its mojo back.

Frankly, it was exhilarating to again hum “Yankee Doodle Dandy” in the shadow of the El Campanil Theatre, marching a relative stone’s throw from the San Joaquin River in this vintage Americana classic that dates back locally 142 years. In 1869, 60 residents fi rst gathered. That grew into a crowd of 1,600 the following year as the train brought miners and their families from the Black Diamond area.

Admittedly, I’m a sucker for classic cars, motorcyles, low-riders, Clydesdale horses, cultural costumes, dance troupes, fl oats, scout and veterans groups, and the sentiment-stirring likes. I also must confess that I’m an easy mark for unabashed silliness, something we probably all need more of in this turbulent world. My better half, Cynthia, and I never miss marching in a parade. In years past we have taken the roles of Sonny and Cher, Superman and Superwoman, Elvis and Priscilla, Bill and Monica, Popeye and Olive.

I’m glad to report abundant like-minded fun-lovers this year as, on short notice no less, Antioch had some 60 organizations strut their stuff. Granted, no fi reworks for this privately funded event, but also no attendant $85,000 bill. This year we scratched the $5,000 barge cost, $1,000 per minute aerial artillery costs and the expense of scores of overtime police for a night-time crowd.

The failure of the loyal oppositionby Dr. Rick Rogers

As superintendent of the Oakley Union Elementary School District, almost daily I receive numerous updates and editorials from various education-related

organizations reporting on events in Sacramento. Most that I have

recently received have been focused on the status of the state budget.

Shortly after the legislature passed the budget for a second time I received the following editorial from EdBrief, an online education resource. I found it one of the most interesting commentaries on the current state of politics. Having been involved in the collective bargaining process for nearly 30 years, it really resonated with me. In addition, I found their opinion so thought provoking I wanted to share it outside the usual

education sector.“‘Irrelevant Opposition – A Loss for

Democracy’ “This week, California’s Democratic

legislators rammed through the process on party-line votes, and swiftly approved a supposedly ‘balanced’ state budget. Governor Brown – a Democrat who two weeks ago vetoed a previous Democratic budget – has indicated that he will sign this new budget package, since this time he helped forge the plan.

Not involved in the budget discussion-making are the Republicans, who have been completely sidelined after months of ‘negotiations’ behind closed doors, which included considerable enticement by Governor Brown.

“No one should be surprised by the Governor’s failure to reach a bipartisan agreement despite his tireless effort. The political climate, both in Sacramento and across the nation, is not conducive to give and take. Compromise – an essential

component in any smoothly-functioning multiparty democratic system – has become a dirty word. An attitude of ‘if you are not with us, then you are against us’ now runs deep through our political fi ber. Never mind that the imposition of a solution crafted by a one-sided point of view only gives rise to tyranny, and weakens democratic institutions.

“In our current poisonous political environment, moderation is frowned upon, and a willingness to listen to a different point of view is considered a weakness of character. When reaching compromise for greater public benefi t is labeled as a betrayal or a sell-out, it is no wonder that logic and rationality fail to prevail.

“Now one would think that the elders in California’s Republican party might see an advantage in promoting a compromise on a budget deal – in a way that would allow the Republican legislative minority to help determine how the new revenues would be generated, as well as how the

necessary budget reductions would be applied, and critical (but still fl edgling) economic recovery would be preserved.

“Instead the Republican leadership has allowed their party to be sidelined by barely participating in the budget process, leaving it to the Democratic legislature and Governor to impose their will.

“The new state budget has been passed, like it or not. There will be numerous analyses coming out in the next week, decrying both the revenue generation plan and the reductions included in the budget. Pundits will no doubt dissect every aspect of the budget and wring their hands about all the ‘what-ifs.’

“All those analyses aside, the simple and sad fact remains that the main, and only, opposition party in the California legislature has rendered itself inconsequential. That, indeed, is a regrettable event and it is not good for our democracy.”

Hopefully, private business sponsorship or a parking or entrance fee may yet bring fi reworks back to Antioch. Oakley, Concord, Martinez, Pleasanton and San Ramon had shows, after all. This Rivertown revival was, though, at least a start. Some four to fi ve thousand locals tickled their inner child celebrating the most American of holidays, a collective national birthday bash. In these angst-ridden and fractious times, the cheer and communal bonding were priceless.

Incidentally, if anybody wants a CD of the event, for $10 you can relive the day. All proceeds defray the day’s security costs. Contact walter.ruehlig @gmail.com or call 925-756-7628.

Let’s acknowledge the many helping hands. First and foremost, thanks to Louise Green, the tireless logistics manager. Assuredly, I couldn’t ‘t have pulled the event off without her magic. Kudos to: Allen Payton for promotion; Martha Parsons for asking the Kiwanis Club of the Delta-Antioch to sponsor event insurance; Luns Louie and his photographer crew of Steve Benson, Vanessa

Boscia and Megan Louie; sound man Mike Green; emcee David Bates; Mayor Jim Davis for soliciting Allied Waste for port-a-potties; the Chamber of Commerce for coordinating participant applications and donations; Nicolas Welzenbach of Oak View Memorial for lending his meeting room; the American Legion, Post 161, for donating $200; Tim Forrester for lending a nifty Benz and red Corvette; the Patriot Sentinels for trophies; Susan Bonilla’s offi ce for certifi cates of recognition; the award judges, Maris Bennett, Sandy Henry, Barbara and Len Herendeen, and Genny Payne-Nice; event committee members Connie Clement, Sue Davis, Tony Fettig, Tom Karas, Leslie Scudero, Larry Thomas, and Nancy and Patrick Tofoya; day of event volunteers Melodie and Russ Guthrie, Mary and Roy Ledofrd, Gil Murillo, Mark Nottsend, Janet Pagano, Debbie and Steve Posthauer, Karen Rogers, and Sue and Kent Wiser.

Congratulations to the trophy winners: Dancers Elite for the Mayor’s Award for Best Patriotic Music Performance; East County Military Families for Best Patriotic Float;

American Legion Post 161 for Best Patriotic Club; Sons of Italy for Best Patriotic Cultural Group; and Boy Scout Troop 151 for Best Patriotic Scout Troop.

We can all be proud that Antioch, long a bastion of patriotism and wholesome values, didn’t give in to hand-wringers but stayed resolute and honored the words of Daniel Webster: “May the sun in his course visit no land more free, more happy, more lovely than this our own country.”

Protect our pets from noise nervesEditor:

I would like the people of Brentwood to realize what in fact they are doing by ignoring our no-fi reworks laws. Not only are you putting all of us in danger of fi re, and taxing our city’s services by not following the laws.

There is another part of our community that is paying a high price for your two minutes of fun. Do any of you realize what you are doing to the animals of our city? The same animals that you and your children stop and pet. These animals have no way to get away

from the noise. They have very sensitive ears and hearing. They are left to suffer.

Even the ones in homes where they are loved and cared for, we are at a loss as to what we can do to help them through these trying times. They are upset, scared, barking and crying. Mine are medicated, something that is very hard on their system. I have not been able to go to a barbecue or away from home in the last week. I have three large dogs that are totally freaked out by this uncontrollable, constant, deafening noise that causes them pain and discomfort.

Please, the next time you think about planning your holiday, fi nd a way that does not cause stress and confusion for our pets. We would all appreciate your thoughtfulness and understanding. We do live where fi reworks, fi recrackers and M80s are against the law. Let’s try and conform to that, or go where they are allowed. Help me be kind to my pets, and your neighbors be kind to their pets. Help us keep our community safe. Do not set off any kind of fi reworks here in East Contra Costa County.

Letters from page 18A

The name “yacht club” isn’t necessarily an accurate description and more likely creates a misconception with many boaters and the

general public. Thanks to Hollywood, a yacht club is often perceived as an elite association of rich people sitting around in bad clothes, drinking cocktails and chatting with an air of pretension.

Although such groups exist, yacht clubs are as varied as vessels on the water. Getting past the name, one doesn’t

need a yacht to enjoy the many benefi ts of belonging to a yacht club. They really embody

more about the second half of the name – club – than the fi rst.

The Pacifi c Inter-Club Yacht Association (PICYA) has 106 greater Bay Area member clubs listed on its web site (www.picya.org/mem-berclubs.html). Most clubs are specifi c to a lo-cale, and that typically manifests in a club culture akin to the people, lifestyle and boat use in the area. The Golden Gate Yacht Club, for example, will be very different from the Delta Yacht Club, the former where Larry Ellison calls home and the latter who probably don’t care.

There are local clubs formed around boat builders such as Nordic Tug, Sea Ray, Bayliner and Carver. There are clubs supporting specifi c interests such as classic boats, single sailors, fi shing, Rotarian/Shriner and sport boats. Many clubs have a waterside clubhouse where you can

sit, chat and drink a beer with other members while enjoying the waterscape from terra fi rma.

Many clubs are very active in the com-munity, sponsoring charitable boating events so participants raise money while doing what they love. Yacht clubs are essentially a community of people with similar water activity interests. Larger clubs typically have a staffed bar and fully equipped kitchen, serving gourmet meals a couple times a week at prices often much lower than a restaurant of like quality.

Organized events such as cruises to other clubs, poker runs, theme parties, game nights, racing, broadcast sporting events, dances, potlucks, holiday events and bazaars are all typical activities of the active yacht club. If this sounds like fun, have a look at the PICYA list and check out clubs that are

nearby or whose focus interests you.Most clubs don’t require a vessel for

membership but many require a sponsor or have a waiting list. There is typically a fee to join and periodic fees to maintain membership and pay for the facilities. These also are as varied as the clubs themselves.

When making your short list, consider dis-tance from home, look and feel of the clubhouse, focus, cost, amenities and activities. Visit the club on a Friday night and ask for a visitor badge. Talk to people and further narrow your search. There’s a yacht club fi t for everyone and they can be a fun complement to your water activity lifestyle. Check one out! Have fun and boat safe.

DV alumnus shines on national stage

Jason Agopian graduated last month from Deer Valley High, where he dominated Bay Valley Athletic League volleyball courts as a middle blocker. Recently, he showed his skills on a national level.

Agopian competed in a USA Vol-leyball junior national tournament in Minneapolis with his club team, Dia-blo Valley 18 Cobra Kai, for which he played multiple positions, mostly op-posite hitter.

The majority of the teams the 6-foot-7-inch Agopian and his oppo-nents faced came from Southern Cali-fornia – the prime source of volleyball talent in the nation. Agopian’s squad also clashed with teams from as far fl ung as Long Island, Maryland, Mis-souri and Hawaii.

Ranked No. 20 at the beginning of the tournament, Cobra Kai ex-ceeded expectations and fi nished 15th. Nevertheless, Agopian felt the team underperformed. “We could have beaten some of the teams that we lost to,” Agopian said. “We beat all the teams we should have beaten. We just didn’t beat the teams we could have

beaten.”Agopian’s tournament totals were

impressive: 99 kills, a solid .345 hitting percentage, fi ve aces, 21 blocks and 24 digs. “I wasn’t able to practice as much as I wanted to,” he said. “I did some damage, but I made too many errors. ‘Alright’ is a good word to describe my performance. It wasn’t bad, but I didn’t play great, either.”

The UC Irvine-bound Agopian wasn’t the only BVAL player in Min-neapolis. Former teammate Derrico Kwa competed with the Diablo Valley 16 Black team, which went from the No. 45 seed to a No. 26 ranking.

While Kwa has two more years as a Wolverine, Agopian will begin prac-ticing with the Anteaters on Sept. 15. While the USA tournament showed mixed results, he believes he’s making progress on the way to Irvine.

“I always feel like I’m improving,” said Agopian. “I wasn’t always the player to help players come up when morale was down, but I was learning to become that player. … At the next level, you’re not just playing against great athletes, although everyone is. But you’re also competing against strong leaders.”

Antioch couple finds their urge for exertion

Antioch residents Ryan and Kasey Graham remember when they couldn’t get away for the weekend without Ryan’s sleep apnea machine. They remember when swimming a lap or walking from streetlight to streetlight was a struggle.

Now they consider triathlons a leisure activ-ity.

Little by little, Ryan and Kasey adopted a healthier way of living, and it has improved ev-erything. What started off as Kasey tiring of a sedentary lifestyle has blossomed into a renewed sense of spirit for both Grahams, as well as a family feeling of activity.

Since last summer, Ryan, Antioch’s dep-uty director of community development, has dropped about 90 pounds. Kasey, the Antioch Unified School District Teacher of the Year at Dozier-Libbey Medical High School, has main-tained a 40-pound weight loss.

While the weight loss has allowed Ryan, 37, to achieve a major goal, doing some indoor sky-diving with his son, it has also given Kasey a better all-around feeling. She feels she can prac-

tice what she teaches at the medically-based high school.

“I have better confidence in myself, not just on the outside, but I know I’m taking care of myself and I’m doing the best I can for my-self,” Kasey said. “The kids are watching me go through this process, and I feel like I can be a good role model for the high school kids that I spend time with – and my own children.”

They’ve found a new favorite family activ-ity – triathlons. In April, the Grahams partici-pated in the Wildflower Triathlon, held in Pa-cific Grove. They competed in the mountain bike triathlon, comprising a quarter-mile swim, fol-lowed by a 9.7-mile bike ride, finishing with a 2-mile run.

Ryan completed the course in 1 hour, 32 minutes; Kasey in 1:41.

“One thing that we love is that we do it to-gether,” Ryan said. “I think that’s really cool.”

This urge for exertion started at the end of the 2010 school year, when Kasey, 42, noticed she was gradually losing energy – and happi-ness. She took a boot-camp-style fitness class

Delta River Rats face off against world

The Junior Olympics are currently un-derway in Huntington Beach, but some of the Antioch-based Delta River Rats roller hockey teams have already wrapped up play. The 12U River Rats fared best in the early go-ing, bringing home the Gold Cup on July 3.

The Delta River Rats fi eld two 16U teams – Red and Black – and one team each for the 14U, 12U, 10U, and 8U levels. As of press time, not every age level has played. The 12U team has been the most successful of the teams thus far, as they won the Tier 2 AA di-vision and earned a Gold Cup title.

“I’m really proud of the way that the

kids have been playing,” said Coach Steve Fosenburg, who leads the 10U team. “A lot of the teams here think it’s ice hockey and are really hitting. But our teams are holding their own, not retaliating or fi ghting.”

As of now, the 12U is the only team to have won its division. Still, the two 16U teams also fared well, notably the Red team, which made an unexpected run to the quar-terfi nals. The Black team played tough games against squads from Colorado and Canada, but fi elding only six players, lost to a Califor-nia team.

The 8U, one of the top teams in North-ern California – and one of the youngest (comprising mostly 7-year-olds) – is expected to make a strong run.

“It’s really interesting,” Fosenburg noted. “The 16-year-olds have been to just about every major tournament and know it’s probably the end of the road. But for a lot of younger kids, it’s brand new. They get to see International teams. The experience for them is great.”

In addition to the River Rats, the Ju-nior Olympics also features regional All-Star teams. The All-Star tournament’s structure is similar to the Little League World Series’, where the top players from different regions join forces to play against other regions’ top performers. The best teams there move on to compete against the top International squads.

A few East County players, already

members of their respective age group’s All-Star squads, declined an invitation to the All-Star team, or team USA, due to prior en-gagements: Kyle Aldrich, Donny Carter, Ben Kozakiewicz, Madison Fosenburg, Derek Ellingson, Austin Blair, Anthony Carter, Joe Merkel, Jacob Simpson, Hayden Kraft, Ga-bel Longshore and Schuyler MacDonald.

While the kids are given the opportunity to meet players from other countries, the bulk of their attention is on competition. Over the course of a few days, each team plays up to 12 games that run roughly 40 minutes.

The Junior Olympics run through the end of the week. Play is scheduled to wrap up on Sunday, July 10.

– Mind and Body Boot Camp, led by Lori Smith – and started taking her health seriously. Ryan noticed the changes Kasey was making and joined the cause.

They gave up going out to lunch and started walking more often around Contra Loma Regional Park. Walk-ing turned into participating in 5Ks, which evolved into 10Ks, which led to triathlons.

After shedding 40 pounds, Ryan ditched the noisy, bulky sleep-apnea machine. Shortly after, he stopped taking medication for high blood pres-sure. Kasey and Ryan’s moods – and relationships with themselves and their children – soared.

“It just frees your life up,” Ryan

said.Ryan and Kasey are now hooked

on the triathlon lifestyle and enjoying the company of the welcoming society of triathletes. They plan to participate in the Tri For Fun at Shadow Cliffs Regional Park in Pleasanton on July 16. Ryan’s next big goal is the Octo-ber DiabloMan triathlon – going for a quarter mile in the pool, 10.95 miles on a bike and then 2.8 miles up Mt. Diablo.

“Having a goal of a number for weight loss wasn’t enough anymore,” Kasey said. “Instead of exercising, it’s exercising with a purpose. When weight loss stopped being the goal, fit-ness became the goal.”

League founders provide key stability

When Mario Camilli was offered a chance to lead a youth football league in East County, he never imagined it would become wildly popular.

Now offering fi ve levels of play and boasting a bevy of titles in football and cheer plus a decorated array of coaches, East County Youth Football (ECYF) is celebrating its 20th anniversary this sea-son.

Camilli, a former coach for Antioch

and Liberty high schools, credited the league’s success to the solidarity of the fi ve members who have been with the ECYF Lions throughout the two decades. He, wife and treasurer Gale Camilli, cheer co-ordinator Koren Summers, cheer coach Laura Strelo and football coach Jim Strelo are the volunteers who have been with the program from day one.

“That’s what’s kept us so stable,” Gale said. “We’ve had some really good, dedi-cated people.”

The fi rst year was a rough one for ECYF, but it formed an important build-ing block. Mario remembers that in the fi rst season, the Lions won just one game but were able to build enough interest to at-tract more young athletes the next season.

“After that, we were having to turn kids away because we couldn’t accommo-date them all,” Mario said.

The Lions compete in the Diablo Valley Youth Football Conference, facing opposition from youth organizations in Antioch and Deer Valley plus teams from Walnut Creek, Solano, San Leandro, Napa, Benicia and Livermore, among others.

As the years went on, Camilli tried to build the program up, running it like some of the successful high school programs in the area. ECYF lays claim to one national title, 10 league titles and 60 playoff appear-ances. Football players from the organiza-tion who have gone off to college include Diondre Borel (Utah State), Chris Bodish-baugh (San Jose State) and Matt McKeen (Montana State Northern).

“The kids that have succeeded come back in August, when they’re not engaged

in stuff,” Mario said. “The kids (currently playing) love it.”

ECYF cheerleaders have also been successful. The cheer program boasts fi ve national cheer titles, 225 regional cheer titles and 94 conference titles. In addition, two alumnae are also cheering in the Na-tional Football League – Angel Verduzco with the Oakland Raiders and Lauren Murphy with the San Francisco 49ers.

Mario and Gale Camilli have been pleasantly surprised by the growth of the program, and hope it can keep providing the quality of play they strive for. “We’ve gone through a lot of heartaches when we started,” Mario said, “and now we’re reap-ing the benefi ts of all the years we’ve been out here.”

For the program’s cheer and football alumni, ECYF plans to put on a barbecue on Saturday, Aug. 20 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Liberty High School stadium. The bar-becue will be preceded by scrimmages with the Livermore Vikings on all fi ve age levels. Admission is free.

The concentration of egeria densa in Discovery Bay has been signifi cantly reduced since the state’s intensive eradication program began in April, according to the Department of Boating and Waterways (DBW). But not all of the targeted areas have responded as well as expected, so treatment on the tena-cious waterweed will continue for an addi-tional few weeks.

“From what I understand, they are going to extend the treatment period and focus on some of those areas that have not responded as well to the applications,” said Discovery Bay General Manager Rick Howard. “It ap-pears that the farther back into the bays they go, the more effective the treatment is. The closer they get to running water, such as near Indian Slough, it hasn’t worked as well.”

The original program, which began in April, was scheduled for 12 weeks, but the treatment will now continue for an additional four weeks in the two targeted locations. Area 1 is 192.2 acres and includes Marina, Shell, Sand and Cypress bays as well as Newport, Lighthouse and Beacon bays. Area 2 encom-passes 76.9 acres and stretches from Lido Bay and Kellogg Creek to Cabrillo Bay.

“It is clear that the egeria densa is dying back throughout the bays and we fully expect it to continue dying back over the coming weeks and months,” said Chief Deputy Di-rector Lucia Becerra in a June 29 report. “The symptoms we saw included translucent leaves, dark brown leaves and loss of the plant’s growing tip.

“However, some areas of Discovery Bay are showing the effects of the treatment less than others. This is due to several variables including water fl ows, water temperature, wa-ter depth, wind direction, initial amounts of egeria densa and area herbicide levels. Conse-quently, DBW will modify its treatment.”

DBW Public Information Offi cer Glo-ria Sandoval cautioned residents, prior to the commencement of the spraying, to give the slow-acting herbicide time to work and to avoid taking matters into their own hands by removing the weed themselves.

“It is critical to remember that it will take a few weeks to see any changes,” said Sando-

val. “So we’re really urging people to leave the weeds alone and give the treatment time to do its job.”

But for some – especially those unable to navigate their boats out of their backyard bays because of the proliferation of the weeds – the temptation was too great. And now, said Becer-ra, there might be a financial penalty to pay.

“Harvesting the ergia will only exacer-bate the problem,” said Becerra. “During our visit we spoke with harvesters who were using machetes to cut the egeria, and we are aware that certain residents have hired a mechani-cal harvester. The entire community of Dis-covery Bay will experience the effects of such treatments. The DBW has contacted USFWS (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service), NOAA (Na-tional Oceanic and Atmospheric Administra-tion) and CDFA (California Department of Food and Agriculture) for enforcement of laws on un-permitted harvesting, which ad-versely affects water, plants and wildlife.”

The egeria densa fi rst grabbed the atten-tion of Discovery Bay residents and offi cials last year when the unique combination of

temperature, water and sunlight caused the fast-growing weed – most commonly found in pet stores and home aquariums – to expand its reach, clogging area bays and waterways up and down the Delta. But because treat-ment is so expensive – approximately $2,000 per acre – and requires a state permit, the her-bicide was unavailable to the public.

Through a series of meetings hosted by Supervisor Mary Piepho, which included the DBW, Reclamation District 800 and mem-bers of Discovery Bay’s CSD, the state agreed to help.

“The Department of Boating and Wa-terways really stepped up and recognized the impact the egeria densa was having on the largest residential development in the Delta,” said CSD President Kevin Graves at the time. “I want to thank Supervisor Mary Piepho for bringing together all the governmental agen-cies to accomplish what we were originally told would never happen.”

The DBW’s treatment commitment – approximately $3 million – is for this year only, and when the project is completed, no additional DBW funding will be available.

“DBW will not be conducting this type of treatment in the future,” said Becerra. “This extensive effort was implemented to obtain control of the plant at this time … If DBW’s effort is successful this year, the subsequent treatment will be minor in comparison.”

Howard said the town is already consid-ering alternative fi nancial options: “They’re not coming back, so we’ll be working with our board, the county and Rec 800 to try and identify future resources. We’ve been very pleased with their involvement. DBW spent $3 million on this process, along with a quarter of their staff, and they’ve taken a very hands-on approach to Discovery Bay. We’re pleased they’ve acknowledged our problem. Now we’ll need to maintain it.”

tioch is projected to spend $1.8 million more than it takes in for that fi scal year. If the city continues at its current pace, the reserve will go from roughly $5.4 million on June 30 of this year to $3.3 million on June 30, 2013.

City Finance Director Dawn Merchant noted that while Antioch will still need to make budget cuts in order to be solvent in 2013, no new sources of revenue are apparent at this moment.

“It wasn’t 180 days ago that we were look-ing bankruptcy right in the face,” City Coun-cilman Brian Kalinowski said. “Although the pressure valve has been released some, 2013 is no joke.”

The uncertain future of redevelopment funds could also wreak havoc with the city’s budget, as that money pays for the Commu-nity Development Block Grant program and staff time for the Marina Agency. Revenues

from the hotel tax have plummeted, meaning that tough decisions must be made regarding programs that receive money from that source, such as the Antioch Historical Society.

In the draft budget, Jakel noted that sev-eral things will need to be done in the face of economic hardship. City offi cials plan to con-tinue taking a proactive approach regarding Antioch’s water rights, encourage job relocation to Antioch and pursue water transit options.

City offi cials will meet later this month to brainstorm options to balance the budget for the 2012-13 fi scal year.

“I feel really good about where we are to-day,” City Councilman Gary Agopian said. “I think that we have stability – but it’s momen-tary stability. What I’m very concerned about are the projections for the future. We don’t want to lose any progress that we’ve made on this budget.”

CornFest ready to rock

Nothing says summer in East County like Brentwood’s annual CornFest. The event’s music, food, vendors, children’s ac-tivities, car shows and carnival rides make it the ultimate way to celebrate East County’s agricultural heritage. This year’s fest will take place at the corner of Brentwood Boulevard and Sand Creek Road.

“This is going to be a great CornFest,” said CornFest Chairman Dirk Zeigler. “The temperatures are looking good, and since we have a new location out in the fi eld along Brentwood Boulevard, with more than 25,000 acres of shade, we won’t be on the as-phalt, which gets really hot. It’s going to be a good time and we’re looking forward to a great turnout.”

One of the advantages of the new loca-tion is that parking will be available onsite – no need to catch a shuttle to and from the festival. Parking is $5 and each family pur-chasing a parking voucher receives a coupon for a medium-sized popcorn at Rave Motion Pictures.

As soon as CornFest visitors walk through the entrance on Sand Creek Road, they’ll fi nd traditional CornFest staples such as information alley, dozens of vendors’ booths and the car show. As guests wander through the new CornFest landscape, they’ll encounter the carnival, which includes a seven-story Ferris wheel and other rides

and games, plus music radiating from stages at the venue’s north and south ends. This year’s musical lineup includes Public Eye, AC/DShe, Jessica Caylyn Band and Great White. See the sidebar for a complete sched-ule of live entertainment.

For those looking to catch the CornFest spirit, corn may be purchased at several food areas, and hot competition will be featured at corn-eating and corn-shucking contests. The Press, in partnership with KSFO 560AM, will host a corn cook-off. Five of the more than 20 readers who submitted their recipes for the inaugural competition will face off at the Press booth on Saturday morning.

“There’s something for everyone at CornFest,” Zeigler said. “We have a lot of activities and a diverse selection of entertain-

ment – and there will be plenty of Brentwood sweet corn, so we’re ready to rock and roll.”

Also in keeping with tradition, opening night will conclude with a dazzling fi reworks display around 9:45 p.m. “I don’t want to give away too much,” said Zeigler in a previ-ous interview. “But the fi reworks show is go-ing to be spectacular.”

The CornFest, presented by the Brent-wood Chamber of Commerce, opens Fri-day, July 8 and concludes Sunday, July 10. Friday’s festivities run from 3 to 10 p.m.; Sat-urday from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.; and Sun-day from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tickets are $10 for general admission; $5 for children 6 to 12 and seniors 62 and over. Children under 5 are admitted free. For more information, call 925-634-3344.

cities and the whole Bay Area,” Brentwood Mayor Bob Taylor said. “It’s a wonderful accolade for the city. It’s been phenomenal. Each year, I marvel at how much it’s grown and the people that fl ock to see it.”B.C. – Before Corn

Brentwood’s fi rst festival didn’t involve a vegetable at all. The Diablo Valley Apricot Festival started in 1926, held in Antioch to coincide with the Antioch Bridge opening. Brentwood didn’t host the festival until 1928, when the Apricot Festival – sponsored by the East Contra Costa County Chamber of Commerce – came to Brentwood Park after a year in Oakley.

As the story goes in Leighton’s East County historical book “Footprints in the Sand,” a train was chartered from Richmond to bring people from all over the Bay Area to the Apricot Festival. The event also celebrat-ed the planting of Brentwood’s fi rst apricots.

“They were a huge, new commodity in the area,” Leighton said.

Leighton’s book recalls the Liberty High School Band marching into Brentwood Park, escorting the Apricot Queen. The fes-tival soon took on a carnival atmosphere. By the mid-1930s, the Apricot Festival became one of the top summer events in Northern California.

But the Apricot Festival came to a screeching halt in 1936. Ray Wallace, 44, a major festival volunteer and son of promi-nent Contra Costa County Judge Robert Wallace, was beaten and killed during the festival outside the Masonic Hall (now Cap’s Restaurant) by a man from Pittsburg.

Brentwood’s Chamber of Commerce withdrew its sponsorship for the following year’s event. According to Leighton’s book, the festival’s committee members claimed that opposition from local growers was the main reason it pulled out, but the fact was: the Apricot Festival had begun to get out of hand.

It wasn’t until 1953 that Brentwood hosted another summer festival. That year,

the Brentwood Lions Club drummed up the Carnique – a carnival/barbecue on the Fourth of July. Much like the Apricot Fes-tival, it was an instant sensation, becoming one of the Lions’ biggest fundraisers.

The food booths, games, fi reworks and other entertainment drew 3,000 to 4,000 visitors to Brentwood Park and raised about $5,000 annually.

“That was a huge deal in my childhood and (for) most of the people we see as baby boomers today,” Leighton said. “It was like a real homecoming. All the people who lived out of town would come.”

But after a while, Leighton said, the driv-ing forces behind the Carnique had retired or moved on, and the festival lost steam, ending in 1977.

Three years later, the Chamber of Com-merce commissioned two events – the Art and Wine Festival in the spring and the Har-vest Festival in mid summer.

They were popular, but in the 1990s, attendance for both began to wilt. Harvest

Festival temperatures climbed into triple dig-its and rain drowned the Art and Wine Festi-val (which added jazz and was later moved to August). The chamber brainstormed ways to combine the two events into one enjoyable, waterproof celebration – leading to what we know today as the CornFest.The inaugural CornFest

After that fateful meeting at the Brent-wood Café, organizers began working to make the CornFest a success. Leighton served as event co-chair with U’geni Mur-doch.

The goal was to make the CornFest a party honoring not only maize, but the city of Brentwood.

“We saw the CornFest as a celebration of Brentwood,” Leighton said. “The idea was to keep it affordable for the townspeople. There were no fences; there was no charge to get in.”

The CornFest raised money through sponsors, for $100 apiece, and relied on its local organizations for food service. Cub

Scouts hawked hot dogs and the Lions Club sold suds, Leighton remembers.

The 1992 CornFest featured the fi rst sight of Byron Bonnickson’s alter ego – Ker-nel Corn. Bonnickson, a dedicated volunteer and member of one of Brentwood’s fi rst families, dressed up like an ear of corn, at-tracting lots of attention. In the early going of the CornFest, Kernel Corn became the event’s unoffi cial mascot.

Organizers printed up coloring books for the kids and a cookbook fi lled with corn-based recipes. One of the inaugural Corn-Fest’s main draws was a demonstration by chefs from the San Francisco Culinary Acad-emy. The events also featured several con-tests – cooking, photography and writing, to name a few. Chantelle, Leighton’s daughter, was named the fi rst Corn Silk Queen.

“It was great fun,” Leighton said of the fi rst CornFest. “It was a real commitment. We really worked.”

It’s versatile, tasty – and thanks to an ideal microclimate, East County’s sig-nature crop. It’s corn, and whether on the ear, off the cob or folded into a tantaliz-ing recipe, when it comes to maize, no one does it bigger or better than Brent-wood.

“No doubt about it: corn is No. 1 in Brentwood,” said Gene Mangini, deputy agriculture commissioner for Contra Costa County. “Corn is East County’s biggest vegetable crop in terms of dol-lars, and is a crop that has held very steady over the years.”

Boasting a whopping 4,000 acres of fi elds and grossing $15-$20 million a year, Brentwood corn is sold locally and throughout the northwest. Over the years, the crop has earned a lasting repu-tation for its quality and freshness.

Brentwood’s fi rst modern-day cornfi elds were planted in the 1940s by Emilio Ghiggeri and his family. In the 1980s, Ghiggeri Farms formed a partner-ship with Glenn Stonebarger, and today Ghiggeri & Stonebarger (G&S) produce white, yellow and bi-color corn on 700 acres off Sellers Avenue.

So what makes Brentwood’s corn so wonderful? Everything, said Stone-barger.

“Well, the climate out here is perfect for growing corn,” he said. “Warm sum-mer days and cool nights with the Delta breezes. We (Brentwood) have been pio-neers in keeping up with the newest seeds available and the product we have now, the Diamond variety, is very tender, high in sugars and has a long shelf life.”

Growing season for corn is from Feb-ruary through early fall. This year, how-ever, the late rains and cool temperatures have put the crops a few weeks behind schedule. But not to worry, said Anthony Massoni of Massoni and Simoni Farms: plenty of product will be available for this weekend’s CornFest festivities.

“We will be fi ne for the weekend,” said Massoni, whose family has grown corn in Brentwood since 1969. “There will be lots of corn for the CornFest. We will be donating over 100 boxes of corn, as we do every year.” Local farms includ-ing Ron Nunn, G&S and Dwelley also donate boxes of corn to the town’s an-nual festivities.

“There’s no shortage of corn,” add-ed Massoni.

And there’s no shortage of corn triv-ia, either. For example:• Corn has more than 3,500 uses, includ-ing as an ingredient in ethanol, chewing gum, fi reworks, potato chips, soap, paint, antibiotics and peanut butter.• Corn isn’t merely Brentwood’s top crop; it’s America’s No. 1 fi eld crop.• If every ear of corn in the United States were laid end to end, the string would reach from Earth to Mars.• Corn grows on every continent except Antarctica.• One bushel of corn boasts 72,800 ker-

nels and weighs 56 pounds.• Corn is America’s No. 1 animal feed grain. In recent years, corn production has ballooned to more than 10 billion bushels.• Speaking of a long shelf life: archeolo-gists have popped 1,000-year-old kernels. But for fresh-on-the-cob fl avor, it’s rec-ommended that corn be eaten within a few days after harvesting.• One bushel of corn can provide enough sweetener for 325 cans of soda, oil for two pounds of margarine and enough starch to produce a ton of paper.

All in all, the initial CornFest was a pop-ping success, bringing roughly 5,000 revelers to Brentwood and setting the foundation for a major annual attraction.Growth of the CornFest

Ken Seamann has held various titles over his 15-year involvement with the festival. He’s seen the fest evolve from a small celebra-tion to a major draw. Over the past few years, Seamann, the 2011 CornFest Co-chair, has been in charge of the entertainment largely responsible for making the CornFest a Bay Area hit.

As attendance grew throughout the ’90s, organizers felt it was time to enhance the quality of entertainment gracing CornFest stages. Since 1998, the event has played host to Eddie Money, Starship and Dave Mason, among other marquee names.

“It really made a major step when we went to major entertainment,” Seamann said. “We stepped up the entertainment, it brought in more people, which made it more profi table.”

But making the festival profi table be-came diffi cult as the economic recession hit. In 2009, the CornFest contributed more than $65,000 to local charities. The 2010 CornFest brought in roughly $130,000 less than the previous year, turning the cup-board bare for Brentwood’s nonprofi ts. Organizers cited the recession, as well as uncertainty over the location of that festi-val as reasons for the decline. (Civic Center construction moved the event’s site from Second to First Street.)

But although the minor event born of

a napkin has grown into an extravaganza, organizers still want to make sure the his-tory of both the CornFest and Brentwood is recognized and honored this weekend. Prominantly displayed will be exhibits from the East Contra Costa Historical Society and Museum.

“We want the community,” Chamber of Commerce member Madeline Krebs said, “to get a feel for yesterday here in Brent-wood.”

Annual Percentage Rate

– Advertisement

Th e annual percentage rate, or APR, for either a fi rst time home buyer, or an individual looking for their next home, is truly one of the most useful tools setup in their favor - “it’s purpose was to allow consumers to shop for credit by comparing the fi ne print,” according to an article in United States Banker. Th e annual percentage rate is important as it allows consumers to compare apples to apples, or even apples to oranges – if, of course, we consider apples to equal fi xed rate loans, and oranges to represent adjustable rate mortgages, or ARMS. It is essential when comparing loans/interest rates and should not be overlooked.

As part of Th e Federal Truth in Lending Act of 1968, the annual percentage rate is calculated much diff erently than the actual note rate and can always be found on your Truth in Lending disclosure. While the note rate simply represents the yearly rate at which your lender will collect interest for permitting you to borrower money for a specifi c length of time, your APR represents the total cost of credit on a yearly basis aft er all charges – points, appraisal, credit report, processing, and document fees etc. - are taken into consideration. It is typically higher than your actual interest rate because it includes these additional items and assumes you will keep the loan for the full term.

Let’s look at how APRs are calculated. For our illustration we will assume a note rate of 5.50% on a fi xed rate loan. On a 30 year term,

and a loan amount of $150,000, the monthly payments would be $851.68. In order to calculate the APR for this loan we would fi rst subtract out the fees: $1500 (one point), $425 for the appraisal, $500 for processing and $16.50 for a credit report. $150,000 minus $2441.50 equals $147,558.50. Th is new fi gure of $147,558.50 would refl ect on our Truth in Lending disclosure as the amount being fi nanced, when in fact we are borrowing $150,000…here is where APR comes into eff ect.

We take the new fi gure of $147,558.50 and use it as our present value/loan amount to determine the true cost of the loan. By working the equation backwards until we receive the same $851.68 monthly payment as if the loan amount were still $150,000, we come up with our annual percentage rate. In this case, our APR is 5.65%, the true cost of borrowing the amount of the loan being applied to the actual purchase, aft er paying all the fees.

Remember, although the note rate is what you calculate your monthly payment off of, and is the fi gure you’ll compare with your neighbors at the dinner table, the APR is the fi gure you should be most interested in. It is the only way to truly compare the cost of one loan versus another, and was put in place to protect you.

Keys to hot-weather health

Every summer, hospital emergency rooms prepare for a rise in the number of swimming, hiking, camping or driving acci-dents – not including visits or sick days for weekend warriors or the results of poorly refrigerated foods.

Sutter Delta Medical Center’s Emer-gency Department, one of the busiest in the East Bay, sees more than 56,000 patients an-nually, and would hate to see your holiday and summer fun marred by an accident or injury that could be avoided.Hot-day tips• Check on children and the elderly, who are especially susceptible to heat-related illness.• Never leave persons or pets in a closed, parked vehicle.• Provide pets access to water and shade.• Avoid strenuous activity or confi ne it to the cooler parts of the day.• Take regular breaks when engaged in physical activity. Take time out to fi nd a cool place.• Stay hydrated. Increase your intake of non-alcoholic, non-carbonated, caffeine-free beverages.• Dress for the heat: Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fi tting clothing. Wear a hat or use an umbrella.• Stay in an air-conditioned environment when possible.• If you suffer from conditions such as

asthma – especially on a “spare the air day” – stay indoors.• Avoid using salt tablets unless directed by a physician.• In response to a heat emergency, drink cool fl uids and apply a cool cloth to your head.Sun safety• Protect yourself and your family all year round. Seek shade, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.• Wear a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses and light, loose-fi tting clothing that cover your arms and legs.• Apply a sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 15 approximately 30 minutes before ex-posure to the sun. Reapply every two hours when outdoors, especially after swimming or strenuous exercise.• Keep newborns out of the sun.Proper food handling

Food-borne illness, also known as “food poisoning,” is more prevalent in warm weather. If you’re traveling with per-ishable food, place it in a cooler with ice or freezer packs. Consider packing beverages in a separate cooler, so the food cooler isn’t opened frequently. Keep plenty of ice or frozen gel packs on hand before starting to pack food.

Mr. Appliance makes military friendly list

Based on the recently published Cen-sus Bureau fi gures documenting more than 2.4 million veteran-owned businesses, G.I. Jobs has announced the release of its 2011 Military Friendly Franchises list. The list honors the top 7 percent of franchises do-ing the most to recruit America’s veterans as franchisees – and Mr. Appliance Corp. is honored to be on this list.

The list satisfi es veterans’ need to know which franchise they should pursue, which ones give them the best fi nancial incentives and training, and which franchises have the highest number of veteran franchisees.

Franchises on the list range from res-taurants to tax services and home-based opportunities. The common bond is their shared priority of recruiting owner-opera-tors with military experience. “Those of us who have lived and worked in a military en-vironment are used to ‘following a system,’ so we put a great emphasis on introducing veterans to franchising,” said Jon Rucker, director of Snap-on’s Military Veteran Pro-gram. “A veteran-owned franchise business is a good fi t for the long-term success of both the veteran and the franchise.”

“It’s an honor to be included on the Military Friendly Franchises list,” said Doug Rogers, president of Mr. Appli-ance Corp. “Our success depends on the hard work of our franchise owners. This achievement is a direct refl ection of their dedication to being leaders in the service industry.”

“The list was created three years ago out of demand from military veterans, many of whom want to start or own their own business but are unclear where to be-gin,” said Sean Collins, general manager for

G.I. Jobs. “Military veterans can execute a plan, lead employees, and are trained to overcome adversity. Combine this back-ground and work ethic with an established franchise system and you have greatly in-creased the odds of the business succeed-ing.”

The 2011 list was compiled through exhaustive research by G.I. Jobs in which thousands of franchises nationwide were polled. Methodology, criteria and weight-ing for the list were developed with the assistance of a Franchise Advisory Board consisting of Mail Boxes Etc. Founder Jim Amos, Spring-Green President James Young, Mr. Rooter Plumbing President Mary Kennedy-Thompson, and Anytime Fitness National Media Director Mark Daly. All four board members are military veterans or come from veteran families.

The full list of Military Friendly Fran-chises will be published in the June issue of G.I. Jobs Magazine, and on Military Franchising, a web tool that helps veterans decide which franchise to choose. Addi-tional resources are posted on the Military Friendly Franchises Facebook page, www.facebook.com/militaryfranchising.

G.I. Jobs is published 12 times per year by Victory Media, a veteran-owned business. The company also publishes The Guide to Military Friendly Schools.
