Politicians pleased with highway progress

Several prominent local politi-cians gathered this week for a tour of Highway 4 and its Bypass, ex-pressing excitement about the fu-ture of jobs and commerce that the improvements will likely bring to East County.

Brainstorming the city’s futureAs Antioch’s fi nancial picture darkens, city

leaders feel that some outside-the-box thinking must be done in order to keep the city afl oat.

Antioch’s City Council met Tuesday night for a special budget study session – a think tank where council members discussed what could be done to bolster the city’s coffers, staffi ng level and image.

City Finance Director Dawn Merchant informed city offi cials that after the state took away $370,000 of motor vehicle license fees, what was thought to be breathing room in the budget became nil. Merchant estimated that with other reductions from the state offi ce, Antioch is look-ing at a $1.4 million defi cit in the upcoming fi s-cal year. That could snowball into a $3.2 million defi cit in the following fi scal year.

“We’re not going to be able to run the clock out in two or three years and everything’s going to get better,” City Manager Jim Jakel said. “We need to initiate change and we need to have a plan to do that.”

Jakel noted the true fi nancial hardship An-tioch has faced in recent years. Before the eco-nomic recession, the city was taking in roughly

$47 million annually. That fi gure has shriveled to $32 million and helped create 145 vacant posi-tions throughout the city. More than a third of

the original staffi ng has been eliminated or va-cated.

Local teen helps rescue surfer

It took him just an instant to realize he was in trou-ble, but for Tim Gruber it was a life-changing moment. As he was preparing to ride the last wave of the day near Carmel Beach on June 25, the lifelong surfer slipped on a sandbar and fell backward onto the base of his neck.

“I lost the use of my arms immediately and I knew it was bad,” said Gruber, 51, formerly of Brentwood. “But I checked my legs and they were OK, so I started kicking my legs, hoping to draw someone’s attention.”

But as the former All-American runner tried to swing his leg onto the surfboard to help support his body, the board fl ipped over, and as the waves continued to wash over him, his hopes faded.

“As the water came over me I saw my wife and son’s face and I said a prayer,” said Gruber. “I remember look-ing up into the sun and then it went dark. It was extreme-ly peaceful and I had no fear. That was the last thing I remember before I woke up in the ambulance.”

Help arrived in the form of two teenage boys, one of whom was a family friend staying with the Grubers for the weekend at their home in Santa Cruz. Ryan Coke of Brentwood was on the shore when a woman came over and alerted him to the man fl oating motionless in the surf. The woman’s son was in the water, making his way toward Gruber, and she asked Coke if he would go and help.

“I was scared,” said Coke, 14. “I’m not a very strong swimmer but I went out there to help the other swimmer bring him in. I didn’t even recognize Tim when we got to him because his face was bloated and blue. It wasn’t until we got him back on the beach and people started doing CPR on him that I realized who it was. He looked

pretty bad.”Citizens on the beach rushed to help, including an

emergency room nurse from Stockton and a paramedic visiting from Hawaii. Despite their continued efforts at CPR, paramedics on the scene later told Gruber’s wife Teresa that he had been without a pulse for more than 12 minutes.

“My sister took the initial phone call,” said Teresa, who was at a baby shower that day. “And she came into

the room and said that Tim’s body had been found fl oat-ing in the Carmel ocean. I had no idea what to expect when I got there. I really thought it was over. But when I got to the hospital he was awake and in excruciating pain, which I took to be a good sign. At least he could feel something.”

The injury turned out to be in the area of the C-

Freedom student takes on transit

Madison Mills doesn’t ride the bus, but she’s gained a newfound respect for public transportation after attending the American Public Transportation Associa-tion’s youth summit in Washington, D.C.

The Freedom High School junior was one of 50 high school students selected to partake in a recent fi ve-day, all-expense-paid trip to the nation’s capital to learn about developments in public transporta-tion design and technology that will help shape future advancements in transporta-tion.

“A lot of people are under the im-pression that public transportation is for the poor and disadvantaged, but public transportation is something that should be utilized by everyone because it’s a green way to get wherever you need to go,” Mills said. “The American Public Transporta-tion Association (APTA) is trying to fi nd ways to change people’s perception of public transportation so that more people will take advantage of it and keep their cars off the road.”

Mills doesn’t live near a bus stop so she doesn’t take advantage of Tri Delta Transit, but she does take BART when she goes to Oakland to catch an A’s game or to San Francisco to do some sightseeing. The summit heightened her awareness of the advantages of public transportation

and motivated her to use it more.Not only does taking public transit

save money on gas; it saves money in gen-eral. According APTA, households in the United States could save more than $8,400 every year if they relied more on local bus systems, commuter trains, high-speed rail,

ferries, cable cars and light rail.“Public transportation is a green

technology and I don’t think people even realize that it is a technology,” Mills said. “At the summit we learned that if one per-son switches to public transportation, the carbon footprint is reduced by about 20

pounds daily, which is 4,800 pounds of carbon emissions a year. When you look at it that way, taking public transportation seems like a no-brainer if you have access to it. It’s just better for the planet.”

And public transportation is doing its own part to reduce carbon emissions by looking into solar and electric power. During her trip to D.C., Mills met Sec-retary of Transportation Ray LaHood and learned about the latest news and advancements in the public transit in-dustry. She also got to tour Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority Metro headquarters to see what it takes to effi ciently keep a public transportation system functioning.

Mills enjoyed the program so much that she plans to apply to next year’s sum-mit. In addition to learning about the in-ner workings of the American transit sys-tem, she also met teens from all over the country who share this common interest.

“It’s like we’re in on a little secret – even though it’s not a secret. I think more young people should be learning about what’s going on.”

Mills said the trip furthered her inter-est in design and architecture, and if all goes according to plan, she’d like to at-tend college on the east coast to be near more historic buildings, such the ones she was surrounded by in D.C. Her ultimate goal is to become a restoration architect.

The Press garners national awardsThe Press newspapers this week

received six awards in the National Newspaper Association’s Better Newspaper and Better Newspaper Advertising contests. The contests covered content published in 2010.

Columnist and Copy Editor Ger Erickson was awarded First Place for Best Humorous Column for the whimsical tale of his encounter with the mythical coyote god Ohlétteh. Said the judges, “Well written and original, great read, well done.”

Staff Writer Samie Hartley grabbed two awards, earning Honorable Mention

for Best Feature Story for her piece on a chef who survived

Hurricane Katrina and came to cook in Brentwood. She also received an Honorable Mention for her series of Celebrate, Remember and

Fight Back stories about Relay For Life, which judges

said were “Well-written features; much better than the usual Relay For

Life effort.”The Press also picked up awards for

its advertising, including First Place for

Best Small-Page Ad; First place for Best Classifi eds; and Second Place for Best Use of Ad Color.

Established in 1885, the National Newspaper Association is the voice of America’s community newspapers and the largest newspaper association in the nation.

“Once again, The Press has received national acclaim for the work done by the talented people we’re fortunate enough to have in every department,” said Managing Editor Rick Lemyre. “I couldn’t be prouder or more appreciative of the people I get to work with each and every day.”

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage MattersBy Trevor Frey

Evolution

– Advertisement

According to Dictionary.com, the defi nition of evolution is “any process of formation or growth; development: the evolution of a language; the evolution of the airplane.” So, let’s examine the evolution of the loan business in recent years.

First, we had the “mortgage meltdown.” Sites like ml-implode.com were created, and to this day, are still tracking (and telling) that “since 2006 387 Major U.S. lending institutions have imploded.” Banks were failing and loans were falling out. One day you’re approved, the next day that very same lender is out of business and you’re out luck – no excuses or apologies from the banks, you’re not receiving your mortgage.

We then evolved into the “foreclose crisis.” In 2008, there were more than 3.1 million foreclosures fi led in the United States. According to Realty track, 861,664 families lost their homes in 2008 and foreclosures had spiked by a record 81%. By the numbers, that 81% in 2008 was up 225% from 2006. To make matters worse, right in our backyard Stockton, CA had the highest foreclosure rate in the nation.

Next – which only made sense aft er reviewing the above mentioned stats – was the REO (Real Estate Owned) market we currently fi nd ourselves with one foot in and one foot out. As of 2010, according to bankproperties.com, “there is an estimated twenty two million bank owner properties in the USA…” So, with many families falling victim to foreclosure, who is left to purchase

this record setting REO inventory other than cash investors?

Enter 2011; the era of the investor. If you ever have a day off , travel down to Martinez and visit the County Court steps…it is quite a site to see. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in Cashier’s checks lace the pockets of those looking to make a profi t by “fl ipping” these bank owned homes. Purchase cheap and fl ip for a profi t, its Contra Costa County’s own version of TLC’s Flip that House.

Once their money is spent, how do they get it back out? Until two weeks ago, lenders would not allow any cash buyers to refi nance their newly acquired home for six months. Th at’s six months without the ability to use your money to make more money. Fannie Mae has since evolved, changing their rules with hopes of moving with the times. As the saying goes, you can both fl ow like a river and stay fresh like spring water, or you can stay stagnant like a pond and grow moldy with algae. As long as they meet certain guidelines, investors can now utilize a cash-out refi nance the day aft er closing escrow. No more waiting six months. In theory, taking their cash, reinvesting it into the market, and helping all of us to evolve out of this down market.

If you have any real estate lending related questions or concerns, or are in investor looking to pull out their money, don’t hesitate to write me at [email protected] or call me directly at 925-726-1444.

NEW SHORT SALE LAWThere is a new law in California that

addresses a junior lender’s right to pursue after a short sale effective immediately. This will have a BIG impact on short sales, but whether it will lead to more short sales as was it’s intent or more foreclosures (see below) is yet to be seen.

Back in January, a new law went into effect that said that lenders who agree to a short sale on a FIRST mortgage had to accept the proceeds as full satisfaction, meaning they couldn’t pursue the Seller after for the deficiency. This was welcome news and has helped many short sales go through that otherwise would have been foreclosures. The new law that went into effect last week extends this protection to any junior liens, as well. This means 2nd loans, 3rd loans, HELOCs, etc.

The big question mark is how junior lenders will react. They may shrug their shoulders and say, “OK, it’s the law, we’ll comply. Here is your approval on the 2nd mortgage and we won’t be able to pursue the Seller after.” OR they may say, “Well, the only

reason we were approving the short sale is BECAUSE we would have the right to pursue the Seller after the short sale to collect even more money later. So now that we have to give up that right, we’d rather TURN DOWN the short sale and take our chances pursuing them after the foreclosure.” The third (and much more likely) result of this law is that junior lenders are going to ask for A LOT MORE money in order to approve the short sale. So it’s possible in some cases that this new law will INCREASE foreclosures because the junior lender either turns the short sale down, or holds out for more money than the 1st lender will allow.

By the way, there are provisions in this law where if you commit fraud (lie about your financial situation) or waste (strip the house), then the protections don’t apply to you.

GRAND OPENING JULY 30TH

Downtown Thursday– where fun is found

The community celebrations known as Downtown Thursdays are more than just an occasion for family fun in Brent-wood. After months of construction in the historic downtown district, the re-turn of these weekly events signifi es a renewed focus on community as medi-ated by the downtown merchants and local business owners who participate in Downtown Thursdays and help main-tain Brentwood’s longstanding tradition of community pride and involvement.

Downtown Thursdays, which began on July 7 and runs through October 6, have brought a welcomed surge of busi-ness back to downtown Brentwood. Becky Bloomfi eld, co-owner of Co. Co. County Wine Company, is one of the participants in the weekly event. “I’m proud to be a part of historic downtown as a merchant, and enjoy being able to help showcase it to the community,” said Bloomfi eld. “Our goal has always been to support the local community and its families, and these events do just that.”

First Street between Oak and Chest-nut streets once again serves as the hub of Downtown Thursdays, held from 5 to 8 p.m. In addition the classic car show, featured on the fi rst Thursday of the month, festival goers can enjoy vendor booths, a farmers’ market, jumpy houses and face painting for children, meal deals from downtown restaurants and live mu-sic from many local favorites.

Events such as Brentwood Idol and Brentwood’s Got Talent will also take place this season. As merchants and resi-dents fi ll the streets of the historic down-town, simple reminders of Brentwood’s core values are preserved through family and community.

The Environment: Student Voice, Student Action, Student Advocacy is the theme for this year’s camp, which features a balance of lecture, hands-on labs and fi eld visits. Students will conduct research using the latest technologies and work on a team project culminating in the delivery of a public service announcement before a panel of industry experts. Students will hear from leaders in their fi elds and explore a range of topics including the Delta ecoystem, wetlands, invasive species, water/wastewater, renewable energies, ocean health and climate change.

The Environmental Sciences Summer Camp is made possible by a grant to the Contra Costa Economic Partnership (CCEP) from Chevron. The grant allows CCEP to coordinate three high school summer camps. Last year, 50 high school students and 15 high school teachers took advantage of the Environmental Sciences Camp experience.

Vaccine deadline pushed back

Gov. Jerry Brown has signed into effect legislation (SB 614-Kehoe) allowing a 30-day grace period for students who have not received the whooping cough booster vaccine to attend classes at the start of the school year.

The No Shot, No School campaign extension will give schools and families additional time to get the vaccine as required by law late last year.

Current law gave school districts just six months (until July 1) to ensure that all students in grades 7-12 provided verifi cation of the whooping cough booster before the start of the 2011-12 school year, and as of Aug.1, students would not have been allowed to attend school without proof of inoculation.

For those without health coverage, free booster shots are still available on Mondays, Aug. 1, 15 and 29 from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. at St. Anthony Catholic Church, 971 O’Hara Ave. in Oakley. Shots will also be administered at the Liberty Adult Education Center, 929 Second St. in Brentwood, on Mondays, July 25 and Aug. 8 and 22.

Proof of vaccinations may be dropped off at the following school district locations:• Antioch Unifi ed School District, 510 G St.• Byron Union School District, 14301 Byron Highway.• Brentwood Union School District, 255 Guthrie Lane.• Knightsen Elementary School District, 1923 Delta Road.• Liberty Union High School District, 20 Oak St. in Brentwood.• Oakley Union Elementary School District, 91 Mercedes Lane.

The City of Oakley has revised its street sweeping schedule to adjust to Oak-ley Disposal’s updated garbage collection schedule. Collection and sweeping will now occur on different days. Visit www.oakleyinfo.com to view the new sweeping schedule.

Since sweeping is most effective when the streets are clear of vehicles and other obstructions, residents should remove their vehicles from the street during sched-uled street sweeping days, keeping the

street clear of lawn and tree trimmings, picking up excess trash and debris such as accumulated dirt, and removing portable basketball hoops.

The city sweeps the public streets in residential neighborhoods twice a month on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Depend-ing on where you live, you might see the sweeper on the fi rst and third or second and fourth week of the month.

For more information, call the Public Works Department at 925-625-7037.

5 spinal column, which often results in patients maintaining movement in their shoulders and biceps but not in their wrists and hands. Gruber, who sustained severe swelling but no fractures or breaks in the C-5 region, has already regained the use of his arms and hands. Doctors expect that his ongoing physical therapy will lead to full recovery.

Gruber was a three-time NCAA All-American distance runner at Humboldt State University and a Community Col-lege All-State and All-American distance runner for Cabrillo College in Aptos, and doctors say his quick recuperation is due in large part to his overall fi tness.

As for Coke, who has been friends with the Gruber’s son Brandon since fi rst

“Ryan is like a son to me,” said Gru-ber, who earlier that day had given Ryan his fi rst surfi ng lesson. “He was so brave to go out there and help pull me in, es-pecially when he’s not that comfortable in the ocean. He’s an awesome kid.”

And in time, Gruber will be back up on the surfboard. “I do plan to go surfi ng again, absolutely,” he said. “But more than that, I just feel so blessed by the outpour-ing of support and love we have received. I have had literally hundreds of people praying for me and I thank them all. This is clearly a case of divine intervention. It wasn’t my time to go, and I know God has a plan for me. I’m a very lucky man.”

Debt Collectors Calling You?Know Your Rightsby Joan Grimes, Esq.

– Advertisement

When people come into my offi ce, one of the fi rst things they talk about is the endless calls from debt collectors both at work and home. If you are receiving calls and letters from debt collectors on consumer debt i.e. debts incurred for personal, family and household purposes, here is the law you need know.

1. First Contact – Th e fi rst communication to you by a debt collector whether on the phone or in writing, must (a) describe the purpose of that communication and (b) inform you that any information that it obtains from you will be used for collection of the debt.

2. Disclosure of Identity – Whenever a person representing a creditor or debt collection agency contacts you, the person must correctly identify himself and must not misrepresent himself or the entity he represents.

3. Right to Dispute Debt – When a debt collection agency initially contacts you or within fi ve days of the initial contact, it must notify you in writing of your right to dispute the debt and to obtain verifi cation of the debt, and it must provide you with verifi cation if you request it. If you do not believe the debt is enforceable i.e. the lender doesn’t have the original note, it was not properly perfected or the amount of the debt is incorrect, this is a right time to request verifi cation and dispute the debt.

4. Right to Stop Communications – You have the right to require a debt collection agency to stop contacting you!!! In addition, your spouse,parent (if the debtor is a minor) or guardian can also require that such communication stop. To do this, it is necessary that you ask the debt collection agency IN WRITING, to do so. While such a notice halts communications, it does not stop the debt collection agency from fi ling a lawsuit to collect on the debt.

5. Obligation to Respect Your Privacy – You absolutely have the right to specify what times are ok and what times are not ok for debt collectors to call you. Collectors are permitted to act on the assumption

that anytime between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. debtor’s local time are convenient to the debtor, but a collector cannot assume that those times are ok once the debtor notifi es the collector that any portion of that period is, in fact, inconvenient and unsuitable for the debtor. In addition, the debtor can also specifi cally request that the collector not contact the debtor at work.

6. Communications to Your Employer – A collector may only communicate with your employer to verify your employment, to locate you, or to garnish your wages.

7. Communications with Family Members – A collector is prohibited, with certain exceptions, from attempting to collect a debt by communicating information regarding the debt to any of your family members. However, a collector can communicate with your spouse, can contact any family member to locate you and contact your parents if you reside with them. Th e California statute prohibiting contacting family members no longer applies once the debt becomes a judgment.

Th e above highlights your rights in California with respect to collection of consumer debts. If you are receiving calls and letters from debt collectors, I urge you to seek legal counsel before entering into any debt consolidation programs either with the lender or a third party. I see people every day for a FREE 30 minute consultation at my offi ces located in Walnut Creek, Antioch and Brentwood.

Transportation offi cials are banking on savings from the widening project to complete the funding for the Sand Creek Road interchange, which recently received from the state $25 million of the necessary $33 million. The intersection of Sand Creek Road and the Bypass is currently controlled by a traffi c light, but will someday be aug-mented by entrance and exit ramps simi-lar to those at Lone Tree Way and Laurel Road.

So far, bids on segments of the High-way 4 widening project have come in at roughly 30 percent below estimates, Iwasaki said.

McNerney felt that the recession sweeping California could actually be a good thing for Highway 4 and East County, as the prices are right to build immediately.

In addition to jobs, the round of im-provements – scheduled to wrap up by the end of 2014 – will likely clear up a major traffi c problem in East County. In March, traffi c information fi rm INRIX listed west-bound Highway 4 between Antioch and Pittsburg as the third-worst commute in the country, trailing Highway 91 in Los Angeles and Interstate H1 in Honolulu.

Politicians also believe these improve-ments will make the Bypass corridor safer. “It’s a great testament to the hard work of the local electives,” McNerney said, “that recognize how painful it is for commuters, and also the opportunities it can bring not only in construction jobs when it’s working, but also after it’s done, the opportunity for commerce.”

Frazier also spoke proudly about re-cently approved money for a connector ramp from the Bypass to Highway 160, which takes motorists over the Antioch Bridge and into the North Bay. The CCTA is using savings from the retrofi t of the bridge to help pay for the connector ramp, which will cost about $50 million. The Bypass/160 project is also receiving roughly $7 million from the Bay Area Toll Authority, and will likely be completed within three years.

The connector to 160 is all part of Frazier’s plan to eliminate Highway 4’s dis-ruptive path through downtown Oakley. East of the split with the Bypass, Highway 4 hooks south and becomes the city’s two-lane Main Street. Frazier believes the wear and tear from freight trucks is damaging the road and hopes that when the Highway 4 and Bypass improvements are fi nished, Oakley can take ownership of the original highway running through its city, turning it into a local road.

“I think,” said Frazier, “it will be a boon for our economy.”

tioch occupies on the San Joaquin River.Agopian also fl oated the idea of another

auto dealership or a strip mall – two things that would attract customers from out of town. He believes the city’s attempt to balance the budget by reductions is unsustainable.

“What’s happened with companies – and it’s starting to happen with government – is you can’t cut yourself out of a problem,” Agopian said. “You have to fi nd other ways concurrent with good fi scal management.”

Councilwoman Mary Rocha noted that while Antioch’s outlook seems bleak now, the future looks brighter: eBART is coming to Hillcrest Avenue, and it’s hoped that a ferry system will be in place by 2015.

Councilman Wade Harper addressed citizens’ and employees’ strong desire for more police offi cers as well as code enforce-ment, which is non-existent in Antioch now. He’s hoping that city offi cials and the council can fi nd way to bring back some kind of code enforcement, which can be a revenue-generat-ing department.

Another major issue discussed was the city’s image. Last year, gang and criminal activity, including 15 homicides, tainted the city’s image. City leaders aim to rehab the im-age through greater communication not only within its department, but with the public.

According to resident surveys during the campaign for Measure P – a failed half-cent sales tax increase that would likely have gone to the Antioch Police Department – the main problem on the minds of those who live in Antioch is crime.

‘Big-box’ legislation bad for local communitiesAs the Mayor of Antioch, I know that the people I

serve want what’s best for our community. We know best how to run our city. And in these challenging economic times we know we need maximum fl exibility as we work to bring new businesses and new jobs to the community.

It is my belief, and I know it is shared with countless others, that a local government’s ability to make decisions for its community are often better, specifi c, effi cient and fl exible as compared to the decisions made

by faceless committees in Capitol buildings miles away. They don’t know the special issues we face every day and they don’t understand the needs we have here in Antioch.

That’s why I am opposed to Senate Bill 469 by Sen. Juan Vargas (D – San Diego). The so-called “Small and Neighborhood Business Protection Act” should really be called the “State Legislators Knows Best Act.” Ultimately, this legislation substitutes the judgment of local elected of-fi cials for the judgment of politicians in Sacramento; and it clearly targets superstores.

Here is how it would work: the bill would impose new state requirements before a superstore can be built in a com-munity. This would add another layer of bureaucratic red tape, and now is not the time to be passing laws that stifl e

local control and effectively bans superstores.While this bill may be good politics, it’s bad policy.For example, right now, our city is experiencing fi nan-

cial struggles with high unemployment and few opportuni-ties for economic development. Recently, however, our city approved an expansion of the Walmart store, which will bring in more jobs and revenue. This project is currently stuck in court, and so if SB 469 passes, our anticipated ad-ditional revenue and jobs will be in jeopardy.

The bill mandates that more studies be performed before a store can be built. In fact, a recent analysis of the bill by Kosmont Companies found that the bill was so poorly written that it would create an environment of litigation much worse that what we are already experiencing here in Antioch.

Additionally, many cities across the state have urban decay studies and regulatory standards. The fact is that local communities throughout California already have policies in place that address the building of supercenters.

Each local government is able to defi ne what works for their community and what doesn’t. They are able to adapt their powers to fi t local conditions and local governments are empowered to own that process. This legislation would ulti-mately take away that important decision-making process.

The fact is that local communities, like ours, need economic development. SB 469 has the potential to stifl e economic growth by creating another layer of bureaucratic

red tape, which can lead to the loss of badly-needed tax revenues for cities. The result will be many California cities will continue to run defi cits and may have to cut vital services like police and fi re.

And the fact is that local communities know best. This issue is about trust: do we trust local communities to make decisions? And the legislators supporting this bill clearly do not trust the authority and transparency of local government oversight.

Wouldn’t it be better if state legislators worked with us to turn around our state’s economy? SB 469 will not help solve our state’s high unemployment rate, and it certainly won’t help bring in revenue to assist bridging the gap of our massive budget defi cit.

Today, our state is faced with the worst economic crisis in years. It will take all of us working together to fi nd a solution. I believe there is a simple formula that will turn the economy around: if we let local government do its job and attract businesses appropriate for our community, then we will create new jobs and revenue for city, county and state services.

So the choice facing the legislature is simple: do we let local governments decide what is best for our communities? Or do we let Sacramento pass laws that will cause roadblocks and hinder ability for growth? The answer is obvious: tell your legislator to oppose SB 469.

GUEST COMMENT

Antioch Mayor James Davis

LETTERS TO THE EDITORMaking the most of Mello Roos

Editor:Tracing back to 1989, Mello Roos has

been a long and winding road. So where are we at?

The Antioch Mello Roos Board recently had a second public meeting soliciting citizen input on what to do with a remaining $2 million left in the kitty after the last construction. Additionally, some 250 people answered an online newspaper-initiated survey. Yet others responded to a daily’s weekly e-view question.

The Mello Roos Board is now passing on these collected suggestions to the City Council, which has the ultimate authority

for disbursement. Remember, the citizen board comprised of two city councilors, two school board trustees and three at-large citizens is merely an oversight agency. It facilitates a citizen voice and oversees, but doesn’t dictate, expenditures.

So what, pray tell, did we learn from engaging the public sounding board? Not surprisingly, a healthy 38 percent asked for the return of the money, which would equate to, on rough average, $115 per household. That shortens the bond payoff, now projected to end in 2016, about a month.

Sixty-two percent, though, wanted the money spent. Turf athletic fi elds led the nearest other choices (a tie between building a golf disc course and a library extension) by 3-1. Tallying only a few votes were a dog park, BMX track, and lazy river feature on the existing pool. An 11th-hour suggestion was for solar panels.

One other suggestion was for enrichment classes, but by law, the bond must be spent on capital construction, not operating expenses. Legally, any expenditure must also be used within the confi nes of the eight designated schools or for Prewett, not for street landscaping as someone mentioned.

The turf proponents, incidentally, argued that Antioch is the only town far and wide without turf and that thousands of kids suffer unsafe conditions or get denied playing time during the rainy season. They also argue that turf would not only, pardon the pun, level the playing fi eld but would buff our city image and generate tens of thousands of dollars in tournament fees

and restaurant business.So it’s now up to our City Fathers to

weigh the options and either refund or build something. If they do in fact build, the citizens’ board encouraged them to attempt leveraging through perhaps naming rights, matching grants or corporate donors.

Of course, in addition to the recent public suggestions, the council, if it opts not to refund, can also consider any of the remaining items on the original wish list sketched out in 1989. That vision includes a meadow, lagoon, central plaza, Olympic pool, enhanced walking trails, café and outdoor basketball or volleyball courts. The estimated cost for that short list is $9 million; obviously money not at hand. Not in play, too, is the originally dreamed-for full 40,000-square-foot library, now a distant reality with a formidable $30 million price tag.

Before we run off with checkbook in hand, then, it must be noted that intertwined in any building consideration is cost of maintenance and staffi ng. As well, the remaining grounds have the worst of the never construction-friendly Prewett area slope and soil. To further muddy the mix, parking and lighting may be issues, as well as mitigation to the burrowing owls. Though a turf fi eld generally costs $1.2 to $1.5 million, the remaining $2 million might not, in fact, accomplish that.

The heartening news is that, due to favorable state hardship deals on the schools, we benefi ted from better-than-expected matching funds. We’re in fact some nine years ahead of our once estimated

bond payoff. We also saved several million on the community center due to the competitive bidding climate caused by the building slowdown.

Thanks, then, to the 11,400 sacrifi cing Mello Roos taxpaying families, we can boast eight gorgeous schools, a splendid water park, a state-of-the-art community center, gymnasium, police substation, amphitheater, library annex, technology center, kid’s learning area and kitchen. Prewett is, unarguably, a well-appointed place and hopping with activity, far exceeding projected attendance at banquets, conferences and library and gym use.

We now have some new certifi ed jewels to go along with our other causes of city pride: Black Diamond Mines, the Delta, Contra Loma Park, Lone Tree Golf Course and Event Center, the El Campanil, the Antioch Historical Museum, the police headquarters, 27 city parks, our vibrantly diverse population, places of worship and career-based academies.

We’ve entered the last major bend on this now 22-year journey, with all its ups and downs. The Mello Roos Board has facilitated and passed on public input. Now public attention needs go to the City Council to encourage Solomon wisdom as they navigate last curves.

Be heard. Democracy works, but only if we, the citizenry, work at it.

This is for those inconsiderate slobs who blatantly discard their garbage along the banks of the Delta.

We’re fed up with your disrespectful, disgusting and offensive behavior. We’re not interested in how many beers or lattes you’ve managed to consume while you’re fi shing, nor are we curious what you had for lunch, how many times you changed your child, what brand of cigarettes you smoke or what kind of bait you used. Have some respect and show some decency for this wonderful environment around you and do the rest of us a huge favor: pick up after yourselves.

Those of us who enjoy the Delta should be responsible for keeping it clean. So take your trash with you!

Water charges all wetEditor:

I normally do not write complaint letters – but since moving to Brentwood

from San Leandro, have been really perturbed and mystifi ed at the cost of water in Brentwood. For almost 21 years in San Leandro, my water bill for two or three people from EBMUD usually ran about $45 for three months. But here in Brentwood, my water bill for one month for two people is almost $85, and there is an unheard of item called “sewer usage” charge of over $40.

The explanation from the City of Brentwood was for anything that goes down the sewer (duh, where is it going to go?) and that some water districts charge this monthly and some via other means; i.e., property tax, etc.

Well, in 21 years with EBMUD I never had a sewer usage amount on my bill nor did I get a separate bill for it. If you calculate an approximate $500 per year for some 52,000 people in Brentwood just for the sewer usage fee – that’s a lot of money. What is it used for and why is it so high?

I like this little community a lot and have been visiting since 2003, but I think

Antioch’s Miles finds groove with Dodgers

Two men, separated by 60 feet, 6 inches of Kentucky bluegrass and volcanic rock dust, are closer together than they imagine.

When Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Aaron Miles, a 1995 Antioch High grad, faced San Francisco Giants pitcher Ryan Vogelsong on Monday night, the matchup was fi tting.

A few months ago, neither player knew what his future held. In 2010, the 34-year-old Miles hit for an average of .281 off the bench with the St. Louis Cardinals while fi lling the lineup card at second base, shortstop, third base, designated hitter, pinch hitter and even pitcher. But after the Cardinals opted not to re-sign him, he was offered a minor league contract this winter by the Dodgers.

Vogelsong, 33, was a failed hot pros-pect in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization – a lottery ticket a few digits off from a win-ner. From 2007 to 2009, he pitched in Japan, returning to the states in 2010 in search of another big league shot. After bouncing around from Philadelphia to Anaheim, he was offered a minor league contract this winter by the Giants.

Neither club could have suspected what happened next. Vogelsong (who held Miles

to just a bloop single on Monday) now leads the National League in earned run average, a scant 2.02. Miles has cemented himself as a fi xture in the Los Angeles infi eld, hitting .311 in 251 at-bats – second on the team to All-Star Matt Kemp.

The former Panther, who is near-sight-ed, credited corrective eye surgery in No-vember with increased success in the batter’s box. The fact that he’s always had an ample supply of elbow grease helped.

“I feel like I’ve been a born-again play-

er, just given a gift of better eyesight to go along with my experience and knowledge,” Miles said. “I feel like I’ve got an advantage. Out of nowhere, I can see the ball better and that’s the main thing in this game.”

Miles has taken a long road to Major League success. He spent eight years in the minor leagues after being drafted by Hous-ton Astros out of high school, fi nally getting his fi rst call-up with the Chicago White Sox in 2003. Miles cracked the starting lineup the following year for the Colorado Rockies.

With renewed vision going into this season, Miles forced the Dodgers’ hand in spring training, batting .321 including two home runs in 53 at-bats. Instead of sending Miles to their minor league team in Albu-querque, the Dodgers told him to head to Chavez Ravine.

“He’s been solid all year and he’s been a nice surprise for us,” Los Angeles manager Don Mattingly said. “He’s been a guy that swings the bat good from both sides of the plate and he’ll play everywhere. When he’s in there, he does his job.”

Monday night proved a homecoming for Miles, who was welcomed by his own fan club, comprising his parents – Herb and Fran – other relatives, friends and members

Blast excels in playoffs

A few Brentwood Blast baseball teams have been making playoff noise lately against teams from all over the state.

Facing other squads from the Protect Our Nation’s Youth league (PONY), the Brentwood Blast’s 10U team is excelling at the regional playoffs in San Jose. On Tues-day, the Blast defeated Vacaville 20-11 in a grand showing of offense. Shortstop Cooper Gardner went 3-for-3 with two walks; cen-terfi elder and pitcher Steven Kerr fi nished

4-for-5. Catcher Jeff Heinrich contributed three hits while fi rst baseman Caleb Mc-Curdy got on base twice on singles.

“They’ve been on an incredible streak,” Coach Scott McCurdy said. “The special thing about this team is that they really rally as a team.”

Scott noted that the team fought through some adversity when tied 3-3, but rallied to score eight runs before the inning came to a close. The Blast 10U team played again on Thursday and will wrap up the re-

Three local Little League All-Star soft-ball teams made it all the way to the Division 2 Tournament, pitted against tough competi-tion from all over the state, but results weren’t as great as they’d hoped.

Antioch’s senior and 11-12-year-olds and East County’s 10-11-year-olds were forced to the elimination bracket early in tournament play. As of Wednesday, only Antioch’s senior softball team was still alive.

The senior team claimed a 7-6 win over Peachbowl from Yuba City in the fi rst round of the Division 2 playoffs, but were unable to hold off a tough Redwood Empire team in the next round, losing 8-2. The Antioch Senior All-Stars faced Peachbowl again on Wednes-day for the chance to jump back into the win-ner’s bracket against Redwood Empire.

Antioch’s 11-12 All-Stars lost to Peach-bowl 4-2 in their fi rst-round game. Kyra Gal-lego, Clarissa Im and Megan Felix all went 1-for-3. Next, Antioch’s 11-12 All-Stars brought their bats out for a 9-1 victory over Linden. Kylie Cast earned her 24th win of the season,

going the distance. Julia Odom went 2-for-3 with three RBIs.

After Antioch continued its hitting bar-rage in a 10-0 victory over Intermountain and an 11-3 win over Northridge, Cast picked up wins 25 and 26. Against Northridge, Cast, Odom, Felix and Michaela Vanderklugt each contributed 2-for-4 performances.

But the 11-12 All-Stars season ended in a heartbreaking 5-4 loss to Peachbowl in 10 in-nings, nine of which were pitched by Cast.

The youngest local team to make the District 2 playoffs, East County’s 10-11 team saw no shortage of runs – on either side of the scoreboard. The East County All-Stars prevailed in a 34-4 opening round victory over Suisun American. After that, the team fi nished on the wrong end of a 24-8 blowout at the hands of Gilroy.

Bumped to the elimination bracket, East County responded with vigor. The 10-11 All-Stars thumped Land Park Pacifi c 21-1 on Monday. Upon returning to the winner’s bracket, however, East County faced Gilroy again – with everything on the line. The Gilroy All-Stars prevailed in a 23-6 division-winning victory.

Heritage’s Conder takes skills to Pebble Beach

It’s not often a girl who hasn’t even begun her sophomore year in high school gets to play with the pros at Pebble Beach. It’s even rarer that someone who gets that opportunity wouldn’t call it the high-light of the week.

Yet that’s what happened with Heritage High’s Megan Conder, who played in the recent Nature Val-ley First Tee Open at Pebble Beach. While the tourna-ment itself lasted two days, it was a weeklong event. Conder said the experience taught her a lot, but golf was only a part of the experience.

“It was unbelievable – the best week of my life,” said Conder. “I got to meet people from all over. Even today, I’ve been talking to friends I made that week from all over the country. That’s pretty cool.”

The golf was also important to Conder. The fi rst day of competition was played at Del Monte, one of the oldest courses on the Central Coast. The follow-ing day’s round was played at the famed Pebble Beach track. While Conder’s Del Monte round was less than stellar, her performance at Pebble Beach was fantas-tic. She made four birdies on her way to a 69.

One of those birdies came on the par-fi ve 14th, which famously gave the best professionals in the world trouble at the 2010 U.S. Open. Conder reached the hole in two shots, something she was told hadn’t been done by a junior in more than 20 years.

The format paired one pro with one junior play-er. Conder was paired with Tom Purtzer, a fi ve-time PGA Tour and four-time Champions Tour winner.

“Seeing how they play motivates me to do bet-ter,” Conder said. “To play my own game with them is amazing. My pro said I shouldn’t change anything

in the swing, which was an honor, since he has one of the best swings in golf.”

The Nature Valley First Tee Open has become something of a family affair for Conder’s family, as Megan’s older sister Lauren, a 2010 Heritage gradu-ate, played in the event fi ve years earlier. Megan said a lot of the pros, including Purtzer, recognized her from when she was only 10. On that note, Conder also said the week was a big opportunity to show what she could do inside the ropes.

First Tee is a nationwide nonprofi t that aims to give young athletes a solid background in golf and instill in them positive values.

Conder didn’t get to interact only with golf pro-fessionals, but professional athletes of other sports in the practice rounds. One of them was Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn. “That was unforgettable,” said Conder. “She’s a world-class athlete, a great per-son and a really good golfer. She was telling me that I remind her of when she was young – that was amaz-ing.”

Caddying for Conder was Joe Fernandez, Head Pro at Diablo Creek Golf Course in Concord. Like Conder, Fernandez also couldn’t say enough good things about the week in general, both on the course and off.

“I talked to her a week after the tournament was over, and she said it gave her the realization that it’s not just about golf,” Fernandez said. “It’s more than just a game; it’s about everything the First Tee pro-gram stands for.”

Conder agreed: “The First Tee has changed my life. It’s the most amazing program. Without it, the choices I have made would be so different. I owe it all to First Tee.”

of the Antioch Sports Legends Museum.Herb, as Antioch legend goes, built

Aaron a batting cage in the backyard so his boy could take some hacks whenever he wanted. That decision might have rankled neighbors, but it pleased the Panthers. Miles became a high school All-American for An-tioch, which was one of the top prep teams in the state when he was there. In his senior year as a Panther, he batted .538 and drove in 34 runs. Antioch also turned 37 double plays in 26 games that season.

“He was the fi rst guy out and the last guy to leave,” said John Whitman, the Pan-thers’ manager from 1982 to 1998. “His teammates looked up to him because he

worked so hard. His work ethic was so good that everybody else’s work ethic raised up, too.”

Los Angeles players have also taken in Miles with open arms. Teammates and coaches described him as the kind of guy they love to be around, one who will do whatever he can to help the team. Infi elder Jamie Carroll, his double-play partner for much of the year, believes Miles has been a positive infl uence on the team.

“He’s a good clubhouse guy who brings a lot of life to the atmosphere – and that helps out a lot,” Carroll said. “He’s got a good track record and it was just a matter of getting an opportunity.”

gional tournament this weekend.The youngest Blast team – in the 6U

Shetland division – is also looking forward to some tough competition. The 6U claimed the title in the sectional playoffs in Rodeo and moved on to the western fi nals in West Covina, near Los Angeles. In the sectional bracket, the 6U team faced teams from Natomas, Tera Hills, Rodeo and Pittsburg. The western fi nals will start Monday.

Two other Blast teams – the 8U and 12U – have already concluded their seasons. In the recent western fi nals, the 8U Blast won two games, but ended with a tough 4-3 loss to Los Alamitos. Coach Mark Petures was impressed by the way the team played, despite being together for a little over a month. Prior to the western fi nals, the 8U

Blast swept its regional tournament in Pitts-burg and went to San Pablo, posting a 5-1 run in the PONY World Series.

At the most recent tournament – the western fi nals – Nathan McCurdy hit .730 in four games, while Ethan Ulrich and Markus Petures each contributed three home runs and 11 RBIs.

In the sectional tournament, the 12U team ended its season with a 3-0 loss at the hands of Bel Passi, a team from the Modesto area. Pitchers Stirling Strong and Jason An-dersen each came away with a win, defeating Ceres and the Brentwood PONY All-Stars.

The loss ended a successful season for the 12U Blast, which went 45-14 throughout the season and claimed a title in the Cooper-stown All-Star Village World Series.

The Oakley-based Hot Shots 10U softball team headed out to the Central Valley recently to compete in the RevHoney Softball Tournament at Rainbow Fields in Modesto.

Managed by Dave Carter and assisted by coaches Steve West and Bill Liu, the girls arrived ready to play ball and came out strong on Saturday, going a perfect 3-0 in pool play. Only four runs were scored against them on Saturday thanks to lock-down defense and outstanding pitching by Kalissa Hei-hn, Jenna Liu and Madison Saunders.

The Hot Shots’ bats provided plenty of fi repower as the team rolled to victories over teams from Elk Grove, Chow-chilla and Dinuba. Their hard work earned the Hot Shots the No. 1 seed for Sunday’s playoff elimination games.

Following their fi rst-round bye, the girls faced off against the Calaveras Sliders in Sunday’s semifi nal game. Both teams scored early runs but the Hot Shots blew the game open in the third inning with clutch hitting and hustle on the base paths.

After establishing the lead with their bats, the girls made it stick with solid pitching from Heihn plus defensive play from catcher Kelsey Martinez and outfi elder Gianna Siino. After eliminating the Sliders 7-3, the girls faced their toughest test: Lady Liberty from Concord (also 3-0 on Saturday) in the championship game.

The Hot Shots struck fi rst off a drag bunt by leadoff bat-ter Allyson Ferreira, who proceeded to steal second and third, then scored on a sacrifi ce fl y from Riley Ehlen to give the Hot Shots a immediate 1-0 lead.

Inspired pitching by Heihn and catching by Natalie Nicolosi kept the score 1-0 through the fi rst three innings. Outstanding defense was provided by shortstop Ferreira, who made seven putouts, deftly scooping up every ball hit her way

and fi ring over to fi rst baseman Allyson McBroom. Second baseman Jenna Liu also contributed stifl ing defense to the cause.

The Hot Shots took control of the game in the fourth inning, scoring fi ve runs off a combination of timely walks, steals and clutch hitting. The entire batting order contributed to the scoring effort and pushed the lead to 6-0. The girls fi n-ished off Lady Liberty for a fi nal score of 6-1 and the right to take home the trophy.

“This was a total team effort, and the girls all played some great softball this weekend,” said Carter. Earning spe-

cial recognition were Kalissa Heihn, who pitched outstanding games on Sunday, and shortstop Allyson Ferreira, whose stel-lar defense kept the opposition off the bases.

Comprising players from Brentwood, Oakley, Pittsburg, Danville and Fairfi eld, the 10U Hot Shots will be wrapping up their summer season at the end of July and making the move up to 12U this fall. Team tryouts will be held Aug. 7 and 13 at Magnolia Park in Oakley. For more information, check out the Hot Shots fastpitch softball website at www.hotshotsfastpitch.org.

It was father versus son in a classic battle to win the second King of the West Sprint Car Series main event at Antioch Speedway Saturday night. Tim Kaeding, limping home on seven cylinders, still had what it took to top dad Brent, who got caught in lapped traffi c.

“I had the better race car than he did,” Brent Kaeding said in victory lane. “Second (is unacceptable). I really wanted to win this thing.”

The elder Kaeding found himself blocked by lapped cars and wasn’t afraid to talk about it after the race. “I got hung up by a couple of cars that shouldn’t have made it out of the B-Main,” he said. “Tonight the car was right, and I went for it, but sometimes a good run gets ruined.”

Son Tim praised his dad, but felt his pain. “Hitting lapped traffi c at the right time is the great divider in this sport,” he said. “If you get through it at the right time, you’re go-ing forward.”

Brent chided his son: “I remember a few times when I kicked an old guy’s (butt). It must have felt good.”

Tim heaped praise back on his dad. “I wish I could kick his (butt). He can beat me by a mile,” he said. “He’s like an old quarterback.

With his experience, he can throw touchdown passes all night long. Don’t let him fool you.”

In victory lane, Tim revealed that he was racing his dad so hard he broke a valve and was running with seven cylinders. But he didn’t back off. “I drive it until it dies,” he said. “We always seem to win when we break mo-tors – and that’s not a good way to do it.”

Saturday’s Antioch Speedway event was the 13th race this season for the King of the West Series, and points leader Tim Kaeding has four wins.

“It was a points night for us, and we’ll take the win, even if it was on seven cylin-ders,” Tim said. “It’s a good thing the car was so free. I was able to move around a lot, and that made up for the lost cylinder.”

Nick Squatritto of San Jose returned to victory lane for the second week in a row in the Dwarf Car division feature event. Squatritto, who has moved to Ohio to attend school this fall, fl ies back to race at Antioch Speedway.

“When I came here last week, it felt great to be back in my race car,” he said. “It feels like home.”

His dad, Mark, is his crew chief. Due to the distance between them, the two prepare the car by phone conversation. “We bounce ideas off of each other,” he said. “He always tells me how enjoyable it is to watch me race.” His mom, Ute, is there to hand Mark parts and wrenches at home and at the track.

“I’m going to school, but I’m still rac-ing,” Nick said. “I’ll be back. Eventually, I’ll be looking to move up to modifi eds.”

On Saturday night, the All Star Wingless Sprints take center stage at Antioch Speedway. Also on the card are Limited Late Models, Mini-Trux, Four Bangers and BCRA Lites.

the U-Pick experience to locals and tourists since the end of May and will continue to offer peaches for a few more weeks.

“There are a lot of different varieties of peaches, and each tree harvests for about a week to 10 days, so if you plant a variety of trees, you can produce peaches throughout the summer,” McKinney said. “It’s been an interesting year. With the cooler spring and the rains, the season started a little later, but it’s been a good season so far.”

McKinney Farms, located at 25221 Marsh Creek Road, is a member of Harvest Time, a nonprofi t organization dedicated to improving agri-tourism in far East County. McKinney credits participation in the pro-gram as a way to gain more exposure to tourists. During CornFest weekend, some guests picked up Harvest Time maps and concluded their Brentwood adventure with a tour of the local farms and ranches. For those new to U-Pick, McKinney said the best thing to do is to just come out and give it a try. “You can’t knock it until you’ve tried it, and there’s nothing like picking fruit right off the tree. You won’t fi nd anything fresher, and it’s a great family experience.”

Over at The Farmer’s Daughter Pro-duce and U-Pick Farm, located at the in-tersection of Walnut Boulevard and Marsh Creek Road, clingstone and yellow peaches

are ready for U-Pick. According to worker Kiersten Walker, U-Pick peaches are popu-lar pickings this time of year. Each weekend, the farms sees about 250 pickers, and those unfamiliar with the U-Pick drill can be es-corted into the orchards by the farm’s em-ployees, who can identify different types of peaches and offer tips on spotting the best ones and picking them.

“We like to have U-Pickers try different types of peaches so that they’ll be satisfi ed with the peaches they pick,” Walker ex-plained. “We show them how to check ripe-

ness and how to handle the peaches so that they don’t bruise the fruit. We see hundreds of people each week and they really seem to enjoy the U-Pick experience.”

Although the stand stocks plenty of picked peaches, Walker and her fellow em-ployees encourage folks to dive into the U-Pick adventure. Farmer’s Daughter supplies all the materials needed for a successful sor-tie out into the orchard.

Cathy Wolfe at Wolfe Ranch said the peach U-Pick season isn’t as well known as the cherry season. Most people aren’t aware

that U-Pick season extends through the summer to other crops such as apricots and plums. The last of the suncrest peach crop will be picked this weekend, but coming in August, the yellow Fay Elberta peaches will be ripe and ready at Wolfe Ranch, located at 164 Payne Ave.

What’s unique about Wolfe Ranch is the rare variety of peaches available for U-Pick. “We’ve got old-fashioned varieties that have been around for a long time,” Wolfe said. “These peaches are really delicate and bruise easily, so they don’t ship well post harvest, but just off the tree, these peaches are some of the best you’ve ever tasted.”To your health

Taking a mouthful out of a fresh peach means you’re taking in optimal vita-mins and minerals. Once peaches have been picked and stored – whether at the stand, the grocery store or at home – their nutri-tional value begins to decline, so a U-Pick trip means getting the healthiest fruit avail-able.

According to the American Cancer Society, peaches are packed with phyto-chemicals, known to combat cancer cells. Peaches are a good source of fi ber, potas-sium, calcium and are rich in vitamin C. Peach consumption is also good for the di-gestive tract. The reddish hue of peach skin signifi es that the fruit is high in antioxidants such as lycopene and lutein, which are help-ful in protecting the eyes and skin. A me-dium-size peach contains about 60 calories plus protein, iron, magnesium, vitamins A

Although raw peaches provide the greatest nutritional value, there are dozens of ways to prepare peaches. From peach pie and cobbler to salsas and smoothies, peaches can be incorporated into a variety of meals throughout the day. But Wolfe warned that even healthy fruits such as peaches should be consumed in moderation.

“Of course peach pies are popular, but you can’t have pie every day or your waist-line is going to regret it,” Wolfe said. “A slice or two doesn’t hurt, but my favorite way to have peaches is in a bowl of cereal. Peaches are fl avorful and go with a lot of unexpected food combinations. You just need to give them a try.”

A surprising way to add peaches to a meal this summer is to incorporate them into kabobs with chicken or fi sh and other fruits and veggies such as tomatoes and peppers. Grill them on the barbecue for a smokin’ sweet dish. Internet searches for peach-incorporating recipes will return a

bevy of results, so be prepared to take notes or have your printer on standby.Peaches preserved

The Harvest Time website, www.har-vest4you.com, recommends that U-Pickers call farms in advance to check for availability. Once you’re at the farm, collect as much fruit as you can carry. If you end up with more than you bargained for, you can always share your harvest with family, friends, coworkers and neighbors, or preserve the peaches in juices, jams or jellies. Canning and freezing peaches are other option to make sure you get the most of your pickings, and by preserving peaches in a variety of ways, you can enjoy fl avorful East County peaches all year long.

Websites such as www.pickyourownfruit.org and videos available on YouTube will instruct you in various ways to preserve peaches, but if you’re still at a loss, talk with the farmers and their staff. They’ll be more than happy to offer assistance.

For a complete list of local farms of-fering peaches for U-Pick, visit www.harvest4you.com.

If you’ve been turned down for health in-surance because of a pre-existing condition, or offered coverage only at an unaffordable price, you might have another option: California’s Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan.

The Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP) is available to children and adults who’ve been locked out of the health insurance market because they have cancer, heart disease, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, asthma or some other pre-existing medical condition.

With PCIP, you’ll be insured for a wide range of benefi ts, including primary and spe-cialty physicians’ services, hospital care and pre-scription drugs.

Like commercial insurance plans, PCIP re-quires you to pay a monthly premium, a deduct-ible and some cost-sharing expenses. But you won’t be charged a higher premium because of your medical condition, and your eligibility isn’t based on your income.

When you enroll in PCIP you’ll have ac-cess to a provider network that includes 67,000 physicians, 5,906 pharmacies and 354 hospitals throughout the state.

A visit to the doctor will cost you $25. PCIP also covers emergency and ambulance ser-vices, surgery and anesthesia, organ transplants, X-ray and lab services, pregnancy and mater-nity care, skilled nursing care, home health ser-vices, orthotics and prosthetics, durable medical equipment, plus inpatient and outpatient mental health, alcohol and substance abuse care.

PCIP is already changing the lives of Amer-icans who don’t have health coverage and need medical care. James H., who lives in Texas, was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2010. Shortly af-ter his diagnosis, James’ insurance company re-scinded his insurance coverage, claiming that his cancer was a pre-existing condition. James knew that his lack of coverage was a death sentence. Fortunately, he was able to join PCIP in Texas and is now receiving the treatment he needs.

To qualify for PCIP, you must have been denied health insurance within the past 12 months. You must also live in California and be a U.S. citizen or legal resident. In addition, you must have been uninsured for at least six months before applying for PCIP.

Your premiums will be based on where you live and the amount you’d pay if you had no pre-existing condition and were able to purchase in-dividual insurance in the open market.

For example, a Central Valley resident 50-54 years of age would pay $481 per month for PCIP. A San Francisco Bay Area resident 45-49 would pay $377 per month. Someone 18 years old or younger living in Del Norte, Humboldt, Siskiyou or Shasta counties would pay $145 monthly.

You’ll pay a 15-percent coinsurance for most in-network services after meeting a $1,500 annual medical deductible. PCIP also has a $500 annual deductible for brand-name drugs. There are no out-of-pocket costs for preventive care, including regular physical exams, cancer screen-ings, immunizations and well-child care.

As a PCIP subscriber, you’ll pay no more than $2,500 per year out-of-pocket. When you reach this $2,500 cap, PCIP pays all costs for covered services received within the PCIP net-work for the remainder of the calendar year (al-though you must continue to pay your monthly premium to stay enrolled.)

And this is important: PCIP has no cap on annual or lifetime benefi ts.

The Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan was created under the Affordable Care Act. It’s a transitional program until 2014, when all Ameri-cans – regardless of health status – gain access to affordable health insurance as the nation shifts to a new marketplace.

For more information, visit www.pcip.ca.gov or call 877-428-5060 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
