A round table meeting called last week by Supervisor Mary Piepho to discuss the possible unifi cation of East County’s fi ve small school districts proved a non-starter, ending with the majority of superinten-dents and education board members in at-tendance opposing the idea of a merger.

Piepho, who said Brentwood School Superintendent Merrill Grant had reached out to her following discussions with coun-ty superintendents over a possible county-wide sales tax measure for schools, hosted the April 26 meeting. Piepho said she was a neutral facilitator for the meeting, with no vested interest in the discussion. “If they (superintendents) are going to go out for a revenue measure, then they are going to have to consider fi nancial effi ciencies and decide if consolidation is one of them,” said Piepho. “I thought the meeting went well.”

The consolidation of school districts is often seen as a fi nancial savings, a move that in this case would allow for the area’s fi ve districts – Byron, Brentwood, Knight-sen, Oakley and the Liberty Union High School District – to potentially benefi t from employing just one superintendent and a shared array of district services.

Many of the superintendents and board members, however, said the admin-istrative costs saved by consolidation might

not be as great as some would believe, and the potential loss of each district’s autono-my and community identity might be too high a price to pay.

“I’m not sure how or even if something like this would benefi t us,” said Knight-sen Superintendent Theresa Estrada. “Of course, I like the smaller environment here at Knightsen and I like the hands-on, small-community feel. I think you have to ask yourself what are you giving up and what is more important.”

Byron Union School Superinten-dent Ken Jacopetti said he too valued his district’s small community feel and indi-viduality, but added that he might be open to future discussion, especially regarding shared district services.

The Oakley Union School District came out fi rmly against the merger, as did Brentwood’s school board. “My board is defi nitely not in favor of the consolida-tion,” said Grant. “And they were pretty vocal in that. I think it’s just a little too much for folks to bite off right now.”

“My only concern is for the students and staff of the Brentwood School Dis-trict,” said Brentwood School Board Mem-ber Heather Partida. “And the more I look at the idea of consolidation, the more I’m convinced that it’s not in the best interests of the students and staff of Brentwood. I’m afraid that bringing a high school into the mix will take the focus away from our el-ementary students and shift it toward high

school exit exams or high school sports or myriad other issues that are currently not issues for our kids.”

Piepho, however, insisted that the meeting was not about consolidation, but collaboration. “I think some people were jumping to the consolidation conclusion and resisting it, and the meeting wasn’t about that,” said Piepho. “It was about working smarter, not harder, and looking for way to collaborate, and that maybe there are some services that can be shared.”

For many, the greater issue at the meeting was the perceived appropriate-ness of Piepho hosting a discussion on schools, a topic over which she has no of-fi cial jurisdiction. While the meeting was posted on the Brentwood school district website as a public meeting, and three of Brentwood’s fi ve school board members were in attendance – which under the rules of the Brown Act makes it a public meet-ing – Piepho asked a reporter to leave the meeting so that it would be possible to have “an honest and open dialogue.” In order to eliminate a quorum, Brentwood Board Member Emil Geddes volunteered to also leave, following a brief discussion with Grant and Piepho.

Jacopetti admitted he was surprised by Piepho’s request that the reporter leave, adding that he saw no problem with having a representative of the media present.

“I think it would have been fi ne to have the media there,” said Jacopetti. “I

think it might have been an even better and more open meeting if someone was there reporting it.”

Partida agreed. “I was disappointed,” she said. “Every person around that table represented a public agency, and the ma-jority of them were elected or were rep-resenting folks who were elected. I would have hoped the meeting was open to the public that we work for.”

Theresa Sidrian, business manager for the Knightsen school district, said she found the forum unusual. “Was this the correct venue?” said Sidrian. “I thought it was a strange way to go about it. The superintendents and the school boards should be the ones talking about this.”

To date, there are no plans to continue the consolidation conversation, although some school offi cials are of the opinion that future meetings on the topic should be handled within the education commu-nity.

“I guess I’m still mystifi ed why a coun-ty supervisor would interject herself into a public school matter,” said Oakley Union School District Superintendent Rick Rog-ers. “In my opinion it would be equally inappropriate if the Oakley school board had a meeting to discuss how they could consolidate their (county) departments to be more effi cient within the county. We have proper forums for this kind of discus-sion and we do that. This was not it.”

Oakley Relay cruises past fundraising goal

After raising more than $72,000 at last year’s Oakley Relay For Life, organizers hoped to raise $82,000 this time around. It turns out that they needn’t have worried: More than 400 people participated in last weekend’s event, bringing in more than $110,000 to be donated to the American Cancer Society.

And they’re not fi nished.“We still have until August to raise

money,” said Jilda Fairhurst, Relay sponsor-ship coordinator. “We’ve exceeded our goal, but we’re not done. Relay is still happening in Oakley. We’re not stopping now.”

Fairhurst, a member of the Fishing For A Cure team, raised $3,600 for Relay, which took place at Freedom High School last week-end. And although she has raised the most funds so far, her entire team is even more in-spired to keep going. The team has already garnered more than $11,000 – and Fairhurst wants to go for $15,000.

Event co-chair Cathleen Knight said this year’s Relay as a whole was bigger and better than ever. Since the event was better organized, participants were able to enjoy themselves even more and get into the Relay spirit. Knight began participating in Relay events to honor her uncle, who passed away after a short battle with cancer in 2004. She has chaired each of Oakley’s Relay events and said that while she Relays to honor her uncle’s memory, she Relays for everyone touched by

cancer, hoping that through such community events a cure will someday be discovered.

Relay Entertainment Coordinator Janet Hylton Relays for her sister, who survived non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and her father who died of lung cancer. While she didn’t participate on a team this year, being a part of Relay is still important to her.

“I Relay because I believe that through

research and development, the American Cancer Society will fi nd a cure one day,” Hyl-ton said. “Relay helps fund this research. This research has so far saved my sister’s life. My Dad and friend (who died of leukemia at age 33) were not so fortunate. Those numbers need to improve.”

Relay For Life is the signature fundrais-ing event of the American Cancer Society.

It began in 1985 when Dr. Gordy Klatt, a colorectal surgeon in Tacoma, Wash., ran and walked around a track for 24 hours to raise money for the American Cancer Society. His effort inspired others to create their own events, and now cities across the country host Relay events in which participants take turns walking the Relay track in an effort to show that cancer doesn’t sleep. Relayers are com-mitted to supporting the cause until a cure is found, and year after year, supporters return to Relay, ready to reinforce their commitment to the cause.

While the 2011 Oakley Relay fundraising effort isn’t offi cially over until August, some Relay participants are ready to do the walk all over again.

“It was heartwarming to see so many people in our community come together for such an important cause,” said Anastasia Bill-ings, member of team Kit & Caboodle and Delta Vista Middle School, which raised more than $2,800. “Although it was windy at fi rst, it shaped up to be a beautiful day. The Sur-vivor and Caregiver laps were inspiring, the Luminaria Lighting Ceremony was beautiful and the Fight Back messages were prominent. Everyone had fun, and I’m already looking forward to making next year’s Relay an even bigger community event.”

To donate to Oakley Relay For Life, vis-it www.relayforlife.org/oakleyca. Brentwood Relay For Life is scheduled for June 11. An-tioch’s event is scheduled for June 25.

ravemotionpicturesBrentwood 14 + ®Residents Rave about IMAX

As buffed-up movie stars Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson tore through the streets of Rio in the new thriller “Fast Five,” East County residents and visitors watched in amazement as the action unfolded on a high-defi nition IMAX screen.

The screen, recently opened at Rave Motion Pictures at The Streets of Brent-wood lifestyle center, made a spectacular Friday debut. According to Rave General Manager Joey Nardone, 1,100 moviego-ers saw Friday’s screening of “Fast Five.” Three of the six shows sold out – including the midnight opener.

“Fast Five: An IMAX Experience” is the fi fth installment of the “Fast and the Furious” series, which involves fast cars and plenty of high-octane action. The crisp images of tight turns, chases, shootouts and hand-to-hand combat scenes drew a chorus of “oohs” and “aahs” from the crowd.

People lined up for tickets outside the theater near a display from Brentwood-based auto parts store Extreme Motors-ports, showing four exotic cars much like those that wreak havoc in the “Fast and the Furious” series.

“Brentwood and the surround-ing towns have been buzzing about it for months,” Nardone said. “It’s like we’ve re-invented ourselves and we just opened again. It’s like a second grand opening. People that have never been here are coming

for the fi rst time just to see the IMAX.”Brentwood resident Clint Ojala was

one of the many who came for the 7:45 p.m. show and was impressed with what he saw. Before Rave installed the screen at the Brentwood theater, the closest IMAX screen was located at the Regal Hacienda Crossings theater in Dublin.

Ojala said he usually goes to Dublin to see movies in IMAX, but loves that he can now get the up close and personal experi-ence in his hometown. “It’s real nice; little Brentwood is growing up,” Ojala said. “It’s

pretty cool, really loud. It’s a lot better than at the house.”

Nardone said ZIP code surveys throughout the day showed people coming not only from Brentwood and surrounding East County cities, but from as far away as Tracy to see the new screen for the theater, which opened in 2008.

The excitement of Friday’s opening was nothing new for Nardone, who was the managing director of San Francisco’s Me-

Support Sydney’s Journey

Cornerstone Fellowship hosts a Rib and Chili Cookoff and Car Show on Saturday, May 14. A portion of the proceeds will be do-nated to Sydney’s Journey.

Sydney Stone’s story has captivated the hearts of the East County community, which continues to support the Edna Hill Middle School student and her family. Sydney, 12, is plagued by a variety of debilitating symptoms, including tracheomalacia (weakness of the windpipe), cyclical vomiting syndrome and tachycardia (abnormally quick heart rate). Although some physicians suspect she suffers from mitochondrial disease, they have yet to confi rm the diagnosis.

The tests she needs to be diagnosed costs thousands of dollars, which her insurance companies have refused to pay. The family was recently denied for the sixth time, so Sydney’s

family has been collaborating with community organizations and local businesses to host fund-raisers to get Sydney on the road to recovery.

“Lately Sydney has had more bad days than good days, but she’s a fi ghter,” said Debi Stone, Sydney’s mother. “She battles this with grace and a positive attitude. We’re so grateful for the community support. It’s been wonder-ful, and we’re looking forward to the barbe-cue. We hope to raise more awareness for mi-tochondrial disease.”

The cookoff and car show is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 1185 Second St. in Brentwood. The event includes raffl es, ven-dors’ booths, music, a live auction and deli-cious food.

There’s still time to sign up for the car show and the cookoff. Call Mike at 925-240-3160 for cookoff information, and Dave at 925-787-7919 for car show information.

To learn more about Sydney’s Journey, visit www.helpsydney.info.

Organizers are looking for barbecues and barbecue lovers to participate in a May 14 fund-raiser to help with 12-year-old Sydney Stone’s medical bills.

SEMINAR - ADDITIONAL DATEA few weeks ago I announced a free

seminar on short sales and loan mods. I’ve had so many RSVPs that I’ve added another date - 5/11 at 7 pm. I still have some room on 5/7 at 2 and 4:30 pm. You must RSVP to reserve a seat. Best way is to email me at Brian@SharpHomesOnline.com, or call at (925) 998-9712. If you can’t make one of these dates/times, let me know and I’ll put you on list for next time. Or go ahead and contact me anyways and we can discuss your situation over the phone or in person. I’m happy to be a resource for people during these difficult times, and I don’t charge just to talk about your situation!

This will not be one of those seminars where I just “tease” you with partial bits of information and then the rest is a sales pitch for something else. There are just so many people who have questions in this area and there is a lot of bad information floating around that I wanted to share what I’ve learned. I will present for about 50 minutes, and then I’ll stay after for as long as it takes to answer questions.

I’ll go over when you should try a loan

mod vs. a short sale, and we’ll discuss if it is ever OK to just walk away. I’ve recently gone through a successful loan modification on my own home. I’ll be happy to share with you what worked for me so you can try your own (I don’t do loan mods for other people), and what your odds of success are. I’ll also discuss how short sales and foreclosures work in the event that a loan mod doesn’t work out, including how it impacts your credit score and ability to buy another home. I’ll also discuss how we got into this real estate mess, and my prediction for the future of our market. I’ll also talk in general terms about the 1099/forgiven debt issue, and whether lenders can pursue you after a short sale, loan mod or foreclosure for the deficiency balance. I’ll also give you the details on a relatively new government program that will pay you $3,000 in relocation expenses when your short sale closes.

Flavored with generosity

Considering all the fi ne juice fl ow-ing from wine bottles and delectable aro-mas rising from bain-maries, it was easy to mistake the event for a gathering of gourmands. But by the time 120 folks had showed up and settled in at the Hannah Nicole Vineyards Winery for the Brent-wood Union School District (BUSD) Education Foundation fundraiser last Friday, it was obvious that the essence of the evening was students.

“It’s great to see the community

come out to help our kids – especially in these challenging times,” said Foundation Board Member Lori Strauss of the annual Fine Wine & Gourmet Food Tasting and Auction event. “Each year we emphasize a different set of programs, and this year our focus is math. The foundation is look-ing forward to making a sizable donation to math programs in our 10 schools.”

Guests promenaded past tables pair-ing wineries with restaurants and cater-ers. Pouring varietals such as chardonnay, cabernet and syrah were representatives

Locals vie for county teacher of the year

For the second year in a row, two East County teachers have made it to the Contra Costa County Teacher of the Year semifinals. The county winner will go on to compete for California Teacher of the Year.

Laurel Elementary teacher Deb-orah Bordeau and Bristow Middle School teacher Gina Terry have moved on to the semifinals with educators from San Ramon, Foothill and Alamo. The teachers will be observed in the classroom and interviewed next week on Friday, May 13. But the inauspi-cious date doesn’t bother Laurel El-ementary Principal Mimi Curran, who is excited to see Bordeau advance.

“I wasn’t surprised when I heard Deborah made it to the semifinals,” Curran said. “She’s a very dedicated teacher with a passion for what she does. She’s a positive leader and goes above and beyond for her students, holding intervention programs for reading and math skills. She’s fabulous.”

Bordeau has worked for the Oakley Union School District since 1990 and has served Laurel Elementary since it opened in 1992. While she currently teaches third grade, she has taught first and fourth grades as well as combina-tion classes of first and second, and

third and fourth.The Brentwood resident, who lives

with best friend Scott and their 4-year-old Bernese Mountain dog, Gracie, said she’s humbled by the honor, espe-cially after the unique way she found out about making the semifinals.

“My first reaction was one of com-plete surprise – it was announced over

the PA system at school,” said Bordeau. “All through this Teacher of the Year process I have felt honored. Knowing that I made it to the next round, I am truly humbled and, above all, apprecia-tive of the faith that others have in me. I work with the most wonderful, fun-loving, supportive group of people. That in itself has been my award.”

Bordeau, who has been teaching for 29 years, said she loves coming to work every day, working with students, facing challenges and celebrating suc-cesses.

Terry has been teaching for 13 years, spending 10 years at Bristow Middle School in Brentwood teaching U.S. history to eighth-graders. She also teaches speech and debate and a read-ing skills course for sixth- and seventh-graders. She too is honored and hum-bled by advancing to the semifinals.

“This is all very exciting,” said Ter-ry. “I’m honored because there are so many good teachers at our school and in the district. Bristow is a great school with a great staff that fosters academic and personal growth for all of our stu-dents. I work with such a caring and compassionate group. Being named as a semifinalist is wonderful, but I don’t do this alone. I have the support of amazing colleagues. Working with them is the real honor.”

Terry lives in Brentwood with her two children and husband of 15 years. Prior to becoming a teacher, she worked as a real estate agent and flight attendant, but after exploring teaching in college, fell in love with it: “I can’t imagine doing anything else.”

Following the classroom observa-tion and interview, the Contra Costa

Laurel Elementary School teacher Deborah Bordeau, seen here with her third-grade class, has advance to the semifi nals in the Contra Costa County Teacher of the Year competition.

Senior ties up first Mr. Freedom title

Minutes into the inaugural Mr. Freedom competition, senior Matt McKeen sealed his fate during the round-one interview.

When asked “If you had one wish for the world, what would it be?” McKeen looked into the crowd and without missing a beat he responded “My wish is that every girl in the world fi nds the right guy for her.” A fl ood of “awwwws” fi lled the Freedom High School multiuse room, and McKeen became the early favorite.

But he earned the title of Mr. Freedom with a performance of “You’re the One That I Want” from the musical “Grease,” which he performed with Emma Mollenhauer. And he sealed the deal with an inspired fashion-show choice. McKeen dressed as Ash from Pokemon while Mollenhauer dressed as Ash’s best friend Pikachu. Together the real-life best friends pranced around the stage without a care in the world.

Moments after winning, McKeen was asked if he meant what he said during the inter-view portion, and with a smile, he said: “Abso-lutely. I believe there is someone for everyone.”

McKeen said winning the inaugural Mr. Freedom title is just another experience to add to his list of memorable moments at Freedom

High – the best four years of his life. After graduation, he’ll play football for Montana State University. For now, he’s soaking up the last days of high school.

“This is unbelievable,” McKeen said. “I’m so happy right now. It’s like on I’m top of the world. Seriously. This is awesome.”

But before McKeen could don the Mr. Freedom necktie, he had to beat fi ve other se-niors for the title.

Jose Cordon, along with Nikki Legaspi, wowed the crowd with a rap during the tal-ent portion while CT McGhee and Morgan Chaney puzzled but delighted the audience with a musically-enhanced execution of a pea-nut butter and jelly sandwich. Both Cordon and McGhee tied for runner-up honors.

“This was a diverse competition,” said Cordon. “It was a lot of fun, and I hope that this is becomes a Freedom tradition.”

McGhee agreed: “It was a blast. I’m ready to do it again.”

Other contenders included Jimmy Ramirez, who partnered with Jessica Jones to perform a lip-synch dance medley; Ito Egharev-ba and Taylor Machado, who dressed as MTV stars Rob and Big for the fashion round; and Nico Davila, who paired with Sammie Polk and a handful of friends to perform “Breaking Free” from “High School Musical.”

Reptiles charm children

Python Ron knows how to draw a crowd. While some don’t want to be in the same room with snakes and large lizards, more than 100 kids and their families turned out for the special Reptile Kingdom presen-tation as part of Oakley’s Science Week.

“Now, I’m not here to scare you,” as-sured Python Ron, aka Ron McGee. “In the movies, you learn that if snakes or spiders are involved, we are the ones on the menu, but that’s just not factual. If an anaconda grew to be 60 feet long, it would weigh some 2,000 pounds and it’s not going to strike like a bolt of lightning.”

Python Ron, who visited Vintage Park-way Elementary on Tuesday, explained that

while some insects and reptiles are danger-ous, these creatures have little to no interest in humans. They have a general curiosity about us just like we have a curiosity about them, but they don’t want us for dinner.

To show that there’s nothing to fear, Py-thon Ron brought out several of his friends to show the audience. The 10-inch bearded dragon lizard and the 4-foot argus monitor lizard had the same reaction to the group: they stared out into the sea of children, eyes wide and mouths agape, as Python Ron in-troduced each new creature. Each scaly beast triggered a series of gasps and giggles as the audience got an up-close look at a Children’s Python and a Kenyan Sand Boa.

Middle schoolers visit Middle Ages

It was a day of falconry, fanfare and fi ddles as O’Hara Park Middle School sev-enth-graders got an up-close look at life in the Middle Ages at the Renaissance Faire held this week on the school campus.

“This is a great way for students to get a real look at what life was like back then,” said Rick King, who teaches history at O’Hara Park. “We’ve been doing this for 15 years, and the students love it. It’s hard to beat living his-tory.”

The annual event featured re-enactors from the Northern California Renaissance Faire, who stayed in costume and charac-ter throughout the day as students were led through a series of stations including falconry, dancing, storytelling and basket weaving.

But for seventh-grader Kelsey Chapman, the highlight of the day had little to do with history. “I think for me seeing everyone’s cos-tumes has been the most fun,” she said. “It’s like a fashion show.”

And it was. In the spirit of the occasion,

Trevor’s Weekly Mortgage MattersBy Trevor Frey

Allergy Relief

– Advertisement

“Th e worst it’s ever been” can be used to relate to this year’s allergy season, as well as the collapse of the real estate market we fi nd ourselves still trying to recover from. Watery eyes, congestion, and a runny nose combined cannot hold a candle to foreclosure, short-sale, or a substantial loss in your home’s equity. However, they can teach us a valuable lesson – when something no longer works we need to readjust accordingly in order to solve the problem. Th ink about it…if Claritin doesn’t work for you, then you switch to Allegra, and if Allegra doesn’t work for you maybe you try Zrytec-D with a little bit of local Alfalfa honey. Whatever your allergy drug of choice is, you don’t stop until you fi nd it. Th e same approach can be witnessed by our ever changing lending guidelines, guidelines that seem to be in constant fl ux as policy makers desperately search for a solu-tion to our real estate debacle.

In the latest chapter of this ongoing (like an allergy attack once it starts) saga, the government subsidized agency Fannie Mae has revamped their waiting period for bor-rowers who complete pre-foreclosure steps, or a deed-in-lieu foreclosure. Announced roughly a year ago, April 14th, 2010, and still very much in eff ect today, any borrower who participates in a short-sale, or deed-in-lieu foreclosure, only has to wait two years before they are once again eligible to fi nance a home through Fannie Mae. Th e change, as stated by Fannie Mae’s announce-ment SEL-2010, is part of Fannie’s overall

plan to “update several policies regarding the future eligibility of borrowers to obtain a new mortgage loan aft er experiencing a pre -foreclosure event.”

Th ere are multiple agencies – Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) – that share the same goal when it comes to the real estate market: to promote homeownership throughout the housing crisis. With that said, Fannie’s eff orts to support overall market stability, and rein-force the importance of borrowers working with their servicers when they have diffi culty repaying their debt, are not the fi rst of their kind. According to FHA commissioner Da-vid Sterns, “we are beginning to think about post-recession, how you address borrowers who became unemployed through no fault of their own ... and now deserve the right to re-enter the housing-fi nance system.”

If you have been through, or will be going through, a short-sale or foreclosure do not “beat yourself up.” As more and more people fall victim to allergies this season through no fault of their own, more and more homeowners are falling victim to circumstances outside of their control and losing their home. Both will pass; it is simply a matter of who proactively picks themselves up, gains knowledge through education, and attacks their problem!

If you have any real estate lending related

questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to write

me at tfreymortgages@yahoo.com or call me

students were required to arrive in some sort of period costume. The result was a parade of gilded gowns, manly leather and Elizabethan elegance. But no one was more regal than the Queen herself – Elizabeth I – who arrived in full regalia and entertained students with a hi-larious and spot-on history of the embattled Queen’s lineage and ascent to the throne.

Down the way, William Shakespeare of-fered a Reader’s Digest version of “Hamlet” to students. And for the less cerebral, a rau-cous turn on the dance fl oor – complete with a fi ddle-playing instructor – gave participants a crash course in the subtleties of the progres-sive dance.

“During the Renaissance, dance was

really the only social activity,” said Shelly Crouse-Monarez, one of the professional pre-senters at the event. “And for most, it was the only possible way of trading information. For the men it was a way to network about jobs and trade farming tips and information. For the women, it was about trading recipes and enjoying a little gossip about who had what baby and with whom. It was a vital part of their socialization network.”

However, for seventh-grader Joseph Pat-terson, the highlights of the day involved the more manly pursuits of the period. “I’m wait-ing to see the falcons and maybe play some baseball,” said Joseph. “I’m kind of looking forward to that.”

Bristow Middle School teacher Gina Terry, seen here with a group of students, has advance to the semifi nals in the Contra Costa County Teacher of the Year competition.

Excelsior Middle School recently took on a Byron Delta Lions Club challenge to collect recycled prescription glasses. From April 4 to 15, students collected more than 200 pairs of glasses, which

will be cleaned, calibrated and sent to more than 70 developing coun-tries free of charge. Excelsior teachers Kathy Tickner and Michelle Carr shared the winning spotlight for collecting the most pairs of eyeglasses, and their classes were rewarded with breakfast donated by McDonald’s.

Supervisor should deal with county issues

Editor:In reading a newspaper article

regarding East County School merger meetings facilitated by County Supervi-sor Mary Piepho, one must wonder why she is not focusing on her elected duties.

First of all, a county supervisor spending tax dollars and resources for an area out of her jurisdiction does not seem appropriate when her own district is in fi nancial turmoil. The educational system in Contra Costa County has many professionals accredited and highly educated with doctorates, masters and four-plus-year degrees to handle their area of specialty (schools).

I would think Supervisor Piepho would have her hands full with chal-lenges in her own jurisdiction, such as the local fi re district on the verge of bankruptcy. She could facilitate a merger with ConFire. This is within her powers as a county supervisor.

Another very serious problem she could facilitate is the $5 billion unfunded liability for public employees under her elected offi ce. She could even spend all her extra time on the $26 million defi cit the county still has to struggle with.

Maybe she can assist our sheriff to improve law enforcement coverage for more deputies. Today we have the lowest deputy coverage since she began offi ce.

Of course let’s not forget that if Supervisor Piepho is truly concerned about merging, why doesn’t she propose merging the number of supervisors in our county?

Drill for oil, don’t import itEditor:

With imported oil at $113 per barrel, gasoline and diesel fuel all over $4 per

gallon, is it not time to stop this non-sense and let the oil companies drill for oil here in the U.S.?

We also have the technology to make fuel from coal at the cost of about $1.50 to $2 per gallon. We have enough coal to last us for the next 200 years. Other countries are doing it in a massive scale, so why couldn’t we do it? Are we the only ones who are willing to kill our economy in order to worry about imaginary global warming?

The U.S. dollar is collapsing under the weight of our massive imports. About $700 to $900 billion per year just for our fuel bill. The last time I checked, you cannot run airplanes and tractors on solar panels or windmills!

Let’s stop this nonsense. Motor fuels are one of the most vital, most basic commodities we need for our economy to survive. Without diesel fuel, the grocery store shelves would be empty in just four days.

Tell Congress to authorize drilling for oil in ANWAR. North slope Alaska, off the California coast and in the Gulf of Mexico. All these areas are now off limits. Coal liquefaction is also against the law. We can easily cut our fuel bill in half in just a few years and by remov-ing this astronomical burden from our economy.

It is time to put America fi rst. Tell Hollywood and the environmentalists that we are mad as hell and will not take it anymore.

Please pass this on to everyone in your address book. Let’s take America back!

Thanks for all the smiley facesEditor:

I just wanted to send out a big thank-you to all those who participated and supported our efforts to clean up Marsh Creek in Oakley this past Satur-day, April 30.

Approximately 100 volunteers from the Marsh Creek Ward of the Oakley Latter Day Saints Church came out for Mormon Helping Hands Day. Mormon Helping Hands Day is a statewide day of service where thousands of members and friends of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons) participate in a day of service throughout California.

Volunteers of all ages helped conduct a trash assessment for City of Oakley storm drain permitting require-ments as well as cleaned up over a mile and a half of creek from Cypress Road downstream to the mouth of Marsh Creek opening into the San Joaquin Delta. Despite the strong winds, it was

a beautiful day and there were lots of smiley faces!

The result of the cleanup was a little over 1 ton of trash being removed from Marsh Creek and its banks. Trash con-sisted mainly of plastic bags, cans, paper and general types of trash and construc-tion materials. The most interesting fi nds were a car bumper, a bicycle and mailbox. Data from the trash assessment will help the City of Oakley and Friends of Marsh Creek Watershed (FOMCW) determine the sources of trash in Marsh Creek so that we can make an effort to reduce, if not eliminate, those sources of trash.

Following the cleanup, many of the volunteers participated in a picnic at nearby Cypress Park.

FOMCW wishes to thank all of the agencies that helped support Saturday’s efforts, including Contra Costa County Flood Control District, Contra Costa Clean Water Program, East Bay Regional Park District, the City of Oakley and the California Department of Water Resources.

Funding for the coordination of this project came from the Contra Costa County Community Stewardship Grant, the Department of Conservation Water-shed Coordinator Grant and the contin-ued fi nancial support from REI that pro-motes our efforts to provide stewardship volunteering activities to our community. Terracare Landscape provided staff sup-port and provides year-round support for such FOMCW activities.

FOMCW would like to send a warm thank-you to the folks of the Marsh Creek Ward for their enthusiastic sup-port and hard work. A particular pat on the back goes to Phil Somerhalder and his organizing team from the Marsh Creek Ward. We look forward to future projects.

Mr. Liberty tradition continuesEditor:

On April 29, 2011, Liberty High School’s Leadership Class presented the 19th Annual Mr. Liberty competi-tion. This show was a success due to the support of the Liberty community and Brentwood community at large. This event could not have been possible without the support and donations of many local businesses and individuals. On behalf of the Leadership program, I would like to thank the following:

His and Hers Formal Wear has generously donated the tuxes of the Mr. Liberty contestants for the last fi ve years. The kindness and generosity of Annette Beckstrand and her staff goes above and beyond the expectation

throughout the school year. We truly ap-preciate their support.

Diggers Diner sponsored the Mr. Liberty breakfast again this year. The management and staff at Diggers opened their doors to us at 7 a.m. and provided an unmatched service and attentiveness. This year they have sup-ported our Homecoming Court, Liberty Idol and Mr. Liberty breakfasts, proving that they truly have “Lion Pride.”

Contra Costa Floral Design & Gifts and Good Scents Florists generously donated all fl owers for the evening’s event, including bouquets for the win-ners, coordinators and crew. Their dona-tion served to lessen the fi nancial strain of our event, and for this we are truly grateful.

Ace Hardware donated the paint for our backdrop, and continues to be a strong supporter of not only the Lead-ership program but of Liberty High School in general. Thank you.

Finally, we would like to thank the following businesses for their donation of gifts for the various winners within the Mr. Liberty competition. As a result of their donation, we were able to donate all funds raised to the Student Emergency Relief (SERF) Fund. Thank you to Boardwalk Bar and Grill, Brent-wood Auto Spa, Brentwood Hand Car Wash, Byron Inn Café, Extreme Pizza, Harvest Park Bowl, Loard’s, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Safeway, Straw Hat Pizza, and Yogurt Pizzazz.

The following individuals and busi-nesses helped to ensure the success of Mr. Liberty 2011. Without their hard work, support and diligence, we would not have had such a positive event. Thank you to Oak Tree Screenprinting for the production of the Mr. Liberty shirts; Prestige Press for the produc-tion of the Mr. Liberty tickets; Maddy Benner and Katelyn DiGiorgio, who choreographed the group dance; the Mr. Liberty technical crew, including Hayley Axel, Morgan DuPee, Toni Vargas, Tay-lor Miller, Emma Holmes, Zac Fried-man and Hanna Johnson.

Finally, I’d like to thank our MCs for the evening: John Romeis and Beth Decker. John and Beth help to make Mr. Liberty what it is. Their wit, humor and candor make the night a memorable one.

I hope that the community of Brentwood enjoyed this year’s Mr. Liberty and will continue to join us in the years to come. It is a tradition that binds this community together and raises money for local students and families, which is essential in these tough economic times.

Deer Valley brothers excel on tennis court

Brothers Abid and Zahid Ahmad were playing tennis on Xbox one day when it oc-curred to them: why don’t we give this a shot in real life? It looked easy for the virtual Andy Roddick, they fi gured, so how hard could it be?

Following a climb up the learning curve, the brothers found that tennis translated nicely from joystick to racket. The game has helped the Pakistan-born brothers, now the No. 1 and 2 singles players for Deer Valley High, stay focused through a transfer and the sickness of their father, acclimate to life in the United States and visualize a brighter future.

“They really have improved a tremen-dous amount this year,” Wolverines head coach Brian Richardson said. “They both had a lot of raw talent, but they just didn’t know how to put it all together. After maybe the fi rst year and a half, you could see them start to put it all together.”

Abid, a senior, and Zahid, a junior, moved to Antioch from Pakistan in 2007 af-ter their father, Abdullha, settled into his job

Deer Valley senior Abid Ahmad, above left, has gone 9-1 against BVAL opponents out of the No. 1 slot. Deer Valley junior, above right, Zahid Ahmad recently completed an undefeated season in BVAL play.

While the individual league champion-ship is important, both he and his sudden-death playoff opponent, Heritage sophomore Carney Hocking, had punched their ticket to the next round of individual competition with 76s in regulation play.

Still, neither golfer performed like he was playing for a mere ceremonial title. Both bo-geyed Lone Tree Golf Course’s par-four 18th hole in sudden death. Both grinded out a par on the second playoff hole, the par-four 10th, which ranks as the second toughest hole on the course. They played number 18 again, and both players made a par. Then, they returned to 10, where the individual championship was fi nally decided.

Bell found the green in two, landing in nearly the same spot as before. Hocking strug-gled, leaving himself in a tough position be-hind the green after two shots. When he failed to make his par, all Bell needed was a short but tricky putt to fi nally put Hocking away. With that hole, the individual league championship was his.

“John’s a four-year senior and he’s one of my better competitors,” said Wolverines head

coach Brian Kofford. “He can play. He is a re-ally tough competitor.”

Bell said his performance felt good be-cause despite his so-so ball striking, he didn’t hit any terrible shots.

Beyond the individual competition, the most important battle between Heritage and Liberty was for second place. Deer Valley won the tournament with a score of 403, but its regular-season title had already guaranteed the Wolverines a bye week through the Sunol Valley’s North Coast Section’s South Quali-fi er tournament and into the Tournament of Champions. The winner of the Lions-Patriots match would break the second-place tie and earn a spot in the NCS fi nal.

Paced by Hocking’s 76, Heritage shot 415, besting Liberty’s 445. The Patriots scores that were counted belonged to Hocking, fel-low sophomores Chris Maxwell (82), Tyler Brookens (85), Justin Barnes (86) and junior Ryan Bell (86). That total outdistanced the Liberty total of 445 shot by seniors Paul Krey (84), Justin Thomas (87), Josh Noriega (91), junior Austin Kaiser (91) and sophomore Garret Murayama (91).

“As a coach, I always set the bar high,” Heritage head coach Mark Tinder said. “But Deer Valley beat us by 12 stokes. In an 18-hole tournament, that’s not too many.”

Sophomore Josh Mouzakis paced the fourth-place Antioch Panthers with an 83.

In an exciting, back-and-forth match between two intense athletes, Deer Val-ley’s Abid Ahmad came up with a victory over Freedom’s Jeff Matteri to claim the singles title in Tuesday’s Bay Valley Ath-letic League Championship.

Ahmad, a senior, topped a frustrated Matteri 6-1, 6-4 in the fi nal round. To get to the fi nal, Ahmad defeated Matteri’s teammate, junior Justin Monge, in the semi-fi nals. In last year’s BVAL tourna-ment, Matteri defeated Ahmad, then playing for Antioch.

“I’m really happy, and playing against Jeff was amazing; I wish I could play him

every day,” Ahmad said. “He’s a really nice kid; I really respect him.”

A few feet away, the doubles title game was underway, but the feeling was much more lighthearted. Both Heritage doubles teams – Mike De La Madrid/Andrew Mucha and Matt De La Ma-drid/Collin Friedel – advanced to the fi -nal. Though both teams were still hungry for the victory, it was more of a friendly match. Mike De La Madrid and Mucha were able to repeat as doubles champions, 6-1, 6-1.

“That was our whole goal this sea-son: we wanted to repeat and move onto NCS,” Mucha said. “Last year, we didn’t make it past the fi rst round of NCS.”

Scott Busby and Michael Paul were in a dogfight to the finish the DIRTcar West modified feature Sat-urday night at Antioch Speedway. It was Busby regaining the lead on the checkered flag lap while Michael Salazar and Troy Foulger stormed Paul in a race to be remembered.

Busby and Paul duked it out on the low groove of the dry-slick high-banked 3/8-mile oval, while Foulger fought back from an early spinout to pressure the three from the high

groove in the final three laps. When Paul stumbled, Salazar, who was in the hunt the entire feature, made his move and Foulger joined in to chase Busby across the finish line.

“Paul drove a good clean race,” Busby said in victory lane. “I had to give it all I had on the last lap. He had great traction and was running low and fast.”

Paul settled into fourth; Rob Norris took fifth.

Dave Press jumped into an early

lead in the Wingless Sprint Car main event and waved goodbye to the rest of the field. Dan Gonderman broke out of traffic late in the feature, but could not close the gap between him and Press. Gary Nelson, Jr. finished third, followed by Billy Macedo and Roy Fisher.

Ricardo Rivera won a wreck-filled Dwarf Car main event, taking the checkered flag under caution due to time limits. Corky Galey was tops in the Four Banger main event. Jim

Freethey won the Super Hobby Stock feature, and Danny Wagner took the Mini Trux main event.

The thrilling finish of the Vin-tage Hard Top main event saw 82-year-old Larry Damitz catch air on the front straightaway as he tangled with another veteran racer, Tommy Thompson, in classic stock cars. Damitz was sidelined and Thompson won after the restart.

Antioch sophomore Josh Mouzakis made an impressive showing at Monday’s BVAL Championship, carding a team-high 83 at Lone Tree Golf Course.

That round will automatically qualify him for the individual NCS qualifi er. Jared Mlekush could join him if Liberty qualifi es for an at-large bid, as players from playoff teams are automatically exempt for the postseason and therefore scratched from their league qualifi er.

Junior Dave White, who broke 90, was the lone Freedom player to qualify for the BVAL championships. The Falcons’ total of 483 was good enough for only fi fth place. But White not only broke 90, he did so convinc-ingly and missed joining Bell and Hocking by two shots.

White was kept out of the playoff be-cause of a three-putt on the par-four 16th hole and a four-putt on the par-fi ve 8th, despite hit-ting the green in two. Still, he’s confi dent that his game is in the right place to make a good showing at NCS.

For Heritage and possibly Liberty, the next step is Monday’s NCS South Qualifi er. For league champion, their next meet is slated for the following week at the NCS Meet of Champions. If they record a top-three fi nish there, they’ll qualify for the NorCal Champi-onships.

as a taxi driver in Oakland. The brothers were playing for fun at Antioch’s Chichibu Park in their early days at Antioch High when head tennis coach Larry Johnson saw potential and asked them to come out for the team.

Abid, Zahid and older brother Rashed soon worked their way through the ranks, along with cousin Ikram Najib, now the Panthers’ No. 1 singles player. With senior Rashed, junior Abid and sophomore Zahid on last year’s roster, Antioch claimed the Bay Valley Athletic League title.

But about a year and a half ago, Ab-dullha started to feel sick. While he was taking medication for arthritis, his condition wors-ened and his energy took a dive. Abid and Zahid’s older brother, Hamid, said their father started getting bad headaches and needed long periods of rest. Abdullha hasn’t told his 10 children the specifi cs of what’s going on, not wanting to distract them from their stud-ies, work and athletic pursuits.

He’s a proud dad, but the sickness (and his own nerves) have prevented him from see-ing his kids play tennis for a while. Abdullha is happy that tennis has given Abid and Zahid a future: next year, Abid will attend American River College, which boasts a stellar tennis program, and plans to transfer to a four-year school. Zahid is also looking forward to play-ing tennis in college.

“I’m happy,” Abdullha said. “All of my kids are good. They speak to me, I love them, they love.”

In order to accompany the large family and to be closer to Abdullha in the hospital, the Ahmads moved from Antioch High’s part of town to a bigger house in Deer Valley’s zone. Understanding the situation with Ab-dullha, Johnson didn’t have a problem with the move, although the Ahmads were required to prove hardship to North Coast Section of-fi cials in order to transfer to Deer Valley with-out a year of ineligibility.

Abid was looking forward to a strong se-nior season at Antioch, where he was among family. “I was kind of disappointed because it was my senior year,” he said. “I wanted to fi n-ish at the same school.”

The transfer allowed Abid and Zahid to come under the tutelage of Richardson, whose summer camp the brothers had at-tended for the past three years. The familiarity with Richardson’s style helped the transition. Out of the top spot on the Wolverines’ ladder, Abid fi nished the season 9-1 in Bay Valley Athletic League play. Zahid ended the year 10-0.

“It’s been a pleasure to work with them,” Richardson said.

The brothers were a prominent part of Tuesday’s league tournament. Richardson moved Zahid to the doubles bracket, pairing him with sophomore Cameron Yee. The team lost to the Heritage pair of Matt De La Ma-drid and Colin Friedel in the semifi nals.

Abid, who stayed in the singles tourna-ment, was matched against another fi erce competitor in Freedom’s Jeff Matteri for the fi nals. Abid emerged victorious in the emo-tional match, 6-1, 6-4.

His motivation to clinch the title? Abdull-ha, who smiled later that day as he handled his boy’s gold medal.

“Everybody became happy,” Abdullha said. “It’s good news.”

The Bay Valley Athletic League’s track and fi eld athletes had a strong contingen-cy at last weekend’s Sacramento Meet of Champions.

Athletes from Deer Valley, Heritage, Freedom and Pittsburg all traveled to Sac-ramento for the meet on Saturday. In total, BVAL athletes placed in the fi nals of 30 of the 79 events at the prestigious meet.

The largest groups were sent by Deer Valley and Heritage. The Wolverines placed in 13 events; the Patriots 11. Freedom placed athletes in seven fi nals while one athlete, se-nior shot-putter John Lacey, fi nished in the 12 position in that event. Heritage senior Alex Horncliff fi nished two spots ahead of him.

Deer Valley produced winners in three events. The team of seniors Raven Fox, Erica Wilson, Joy Gee and Darnella Jenkins claimed victory in the 4x400 girls relay with a time of 3:54.74, winning by more than 10 seconds.

Wilson also won the girls’ 300-meter hur-dle event with a time of 43.79 and recorded a fourth-place performance in the girls’ 100-meter hurdles with a time of 14.54. Joining Wilson as an individual winner was teammate senior Jesse White, who won the boys’ 400-meter dash at 48.17.

Junior Shawn Simms also gave hope that Deer Valley’s speed next year will equal this season’s. Simms’ 11.35-second 100-meter race was good enough for fourth place in the boys’ event, and his 22.63 200-meter race in the boys’

division was good enough for third place. In that same race, Freedom junior Adrian Perez fi nished in seventh place with a time of 23.28.

The Patriots produced the only other winners when freshman Frank Kurtz, seniors Kruger Story Jr., Brandom Brum and junior Miguel Aguiar won the boys 4x400-meter varsity relay. In the 400-meter dash, Aguiar fi nished fi fth; Kurtz 13th. Brum was seventh in the boys’ 800-meter run while fellow senior Eric Morford was eighth in the boys’ 1,600-meter race. Senior Alex Grant was the lone Heritage female, fi nishing fourth in the girls’ 800-meter race.

Heritage was especially strong in the fi eld events, as senior Jacob Rounds fi nished sev-enth in the boys’ discus throw and fourth in the shot put. Junior Kyle Thacker placed sev-enth in the boy’s discus throw; senior Billy Eng fourth in the boys’ high jump.

Deer Valley senior Dariel Patton fi nished in fourth place in the boys’ 200-meter varsity race while the team of Andrew Hunte, Simms, Tajae Smith-White and Jesse White fi nished third in the 4x400-meter boys’ relay.

While the Freedom athletes didn’t win any events, they were consistently strong. Se-nior D’Amora Cooper took fourth in both the boys’ 100-meter hurdles and the boy’s long jump.

Senior Michael Kicenski tied for sixth in the boy’s high jump while senior Carmen Martinez fi nished sixth in the girls 3,200-meters. Sophomore Jordan Morgan fi nished 11th in the boys’ triple jump.

six strikeouts.“It’s fun to win a game against a team

you haven’t beaten ever,” Imholz said. “I defi nitely felt more comfortable, more confi -dent being a pitcher with more runs on the board.”

First-year head coach Brook Russo said the Panthers (12-3, 4-1 Bay Valley Ath-letic League) were able to execute what they worked on in practice, namely preparing for Williams’ riseball, which still forced a few popups on Tuesday. That win kicked off a tough week for Antioch, which also faced Heritage on Thursday.

“It was our day,” Russo said. “We hit the ball, defense was good and pitching was excellent.”

The Panthers were able to take advan-tage of three Falcons (12-7, 3-2 BVAL) er-rors and a sub-par start by Williams.

After Antioch held a 1-0 lead in the fi rst, the Panthers put two more on the board in the third inning.

Freshman centerfi elder Shelbi Graifman drove in sophomore utility player Britney Brown for the second run of the game, then senior outfi elder Allison Snedden rapped out a single up the middle to make it 3-0.

Graifman fi nished 1-for-3 with the RBI and senior fi rst baseman Kelsey Cast went 2-for-4, scoring a run.

“We were all pretty nervous before the game, but it helps to have Paris around, she really leads the team,” Graifman said.

Rodeo House band rocks the East Bay

The ambition for East Bay-based country music band Rodeo House, ac-cording to singer Dave Scott, was to play at Fremont’s Saddle Rack – one of the biggest country bars in the region.

Scott and the rest of the band knew they’d made it when Rodeo House not only performed there, but got invited back. Now the band is a regular at Sad-dle Rack, playing a crowd-pleasing rock/country mix a couple times a month.

“You’ve always have to be thinking about what’s next,” drummer Terry Tuo-hy said. “So right now, we’re like, ‘When are we going to open at Shoreline?’ … Now we’re the only band that opens twice a month at Saddle Rack.”

The band started humbly in 2005 when Scott discovered singer Christina Amato, a Liberty High School alumna, crooning in a Bethel Island karaoke bar. Soon guitarist Mark Emery, Tuohy and bass guitarist Glede Vaughn joined in to make Rodeo House.

After spending time covering art-ists such as George Strait, Sugarland, Journey, AC/DC, Guns ’N Roses and Patsy Cline, Rodeo House started craft-ing original songs. The band recently released its fi rst album, “Talkin’ Dirty,” and held a special-release party at An-

tioch sports bar Bases Loaded last week-end. Roughly 250 people moseyed down to Bases Loaded to hear the band’s rock/country stylings.

Rodeo House makes upbeat music that encourages two-steps and line danc-

ing. “We play everything,” Amato said. “We try and stay high-paced, high en-ergy.”

Rodeo House got a huge boost last year when the group was invited to Nash-ville by producer Tom Paden, who has

written for stars such as Reba McIntyre, Tammy Wynette, Kenny Rogers, George Strait and Faith Hill. Band members felt energized by the trip and hope that the contacts made there can take them to the next level.

The band also received coaching from Judy Rodman, who has been a backup singer for big names including Johnny Cash, Tom Jones, Tonya Tucker and Dolly Parton. Rodman helped the group bring out the raw emotions of their live performances onto their CD. Mem-bers also credited Rodman with helping them write songs with more edge.

Amato said Rodeo House had gained a dedicated following on 95.7 The Wolf, but since the station changed to a sports format, the band has been trying to forge a new relationship with Kat Country 103. The station, located at 103.3, has Rodeo House’s songs, Amato said, but since they’re not yet mainstream, more people need to call in requests for them.

Tuohy noted that Kat Country usu-ally plays Rodeo House during non-peak hours, but the group needs the public’s help to get some airtime during rush hour.

“We have a huge fan base, one of the biggest in our area,” Amato said. “They have our music, now it’s just getting them to play it.”

what offi cers are doing, residents will be more inclined to call in. “If we’re always focusing on the negative, people are going to think, ‘Well, why would I call, if things are already nega-tive?’” Cantando said. “If we keep focusing on the positives of what’s happening, we can do a lot in our community.”

A press release from Cantando also noted that property crimes such as burglary, theft, auto theft and arson have decreased 9.5 per-cent from January through March compared to last year.

Cantando added that it’s still early in the year, and crime tends to increase when the mer-cury rises and more offenses occur outdoors.

Another major reason why crime has de-clined, according to Cantando, is that offi cers have taken a more proactive approach to polic-ing the community. The acting chief hopes that by nipping criminal activity in the bud, it won’t spread and become a norm.

“We’re being as proactive as we can, based on the resources that we have,” Cantando said. “I want this to be a turning of the tide.”

fi nancial dealings related to his church, Mountain View Christian Cen-ter and its affi liated Trinity Christian School, both in Oakley. A civil suit asking for $1.2 million and alleging that Hanoum had bilked a Rio Vista woman out of her life savings following the death of her husband was delayed last week until May 10.

On Wednesday, a crowd of people lingered outside the Balfour Road house, exchanging hugs as police pored over the truck and grounds.

Former parishioner Charla Andrade and her husband, Bob, recently left the church after learning of Hanoum’s suspected fi nancial misdeeds.

“I’m defi nitely in shock” over word of Hanoum’s death, she said. “This sure wasn’t the end result I thought would happen, but I was sorry to hear it, and I would not wish it on anyone’s family.”

The nonprofi t organization Save Mount Diablo, formed in 1971, started us-ing Facebook as a way to reach out to the community and promote its events. The group, which strives to protect and preserve the iconic Contra Costa County mountain range, hosts active dialogue on its Facebook page as well as a bevy of photos showcasing the area’s beauty.

Both Save Mount Diablo spokeswom-an Beryl Anderson and Gougeon felt that tapping into the accessible power of social media helped to spread their messages.

“Facebook is changing how people and organizations positively impact the world and support diverse causes by providing a place to gather and express sentiment, mo-bilize actions and even raise or donate mon-ey,” Facebook spokeswoman Victoria Cas-sady wrote in an e-mail. “Through a series of tools and features – including Groups, Pages, Apps and events – Facebook is help-ing organizations throughout the world generate awareness and action both online and offl ine.”MAKING CHANGE

Hearing news of the December homi-cide of 24-year-old Pittsburg resident Ar-nold Muckleroy, who was gunned down on Rockspring Way in Antioch, Gougeon be-came worried. The shooting wasn’t far from her house.

But instead of remaining silent, she decided to do something. Gougeon, a Web developer by trade, logged onto Facebook and created the page Take Back Antioch two days before Christmas. She hoped for 300 members in three months. She got that in weeks. More and more members trickled in, excited about the organic, grassroots ef-fort Gougeon started.

“There’s a large group of folks that re-ally care about Antioch, and they care about quality of life for all residents, and they got involved,” City Councilman Gary Agopian said. “People that are interested in being honest about the problems that we have and then being part of the solution – I just really respect them.”

Take Back Antioch held a Quality of Community forum in February, packing the community room at the Antioch Police Station. Its next meeting took place at the historic El Campanil Theatre in downtown

Antioch. The group has been active, speak-ing out at City Council meetings, participat-ing in cleanups and other city events. The Take Back Antioch page hosts lively discus-sion about how to improve Antioch, and members post tips of suspicious activity so residents can be on the lookout.

The group has also been a champion of the fi ght to restore code enforcement, some-thing the Antioch City Council recently said it would look into. Right now, only the most urgent and dangerous cases of code enforce-ment are handled.

Gougeon said her sense of civic duty comes naturally. A few years ago, she led a peaceful rally opposing Proposition 8. As with Take Back Antioch, Gougeon’s goal was modest, but about 500 people showed up.

“When you’re a passionate person, that passion is contagious,” Gougeon said. “Sometimes I have to ask myself, ‘Wow, how did this many people jump on board

so fast?’ I think TBA started at a really good time and came at the perfect time. It may not have worked two years ago, but it works now.”

However, as the Facebook group has gained popularity, Gougeon has taken mea-sures to prevent it from becoming unruly. In order to ensure that Take Back Antioch doesn’t devolve into a gripe session against city offi cials or laws, Gougeon and core members designated as administrators de-lete infl ammatory posts and maintain a con-sistently positive, progressive tone. Racism, personal attacks and profanity are strictly forbidden – something Gougeon feels keeps out the riff-raff.

A similar movement is underway a two-hour drive south of Antioch. Fed up with gang violence and drug deals in her home-town, Analicia Cube created the Facebook group Take Back Santa Cruz on Halloween of 2009. The page now boasts more than 4,600 members and hosts constant, active dialogue about crime in Santa Cruz.

Take Back Santa Cruz regularly hosts events called Positive Loitering Parties, an idea Cube gleaned from a similar group in Chicago. Party attendees overwhelm a bad street corner or bad area by grouping to-gether and sending a strict message. “This is our community and it belongs to us,” Cube said. “It’s the community’s responsibility to step up. We can’t expect the police and the government to come help us. We have to be proactive in our community.”

Take Back Antioch has also tried its hand at the Positive Loitering Party. In March, the group headed to the Antioch Skate Park to hold a pizza party. Members talked with local youth, who pointed out that not only were they not fans of the graf-fi ti in the park; they weren’t the perpetra-tors, either.

Take Back Santa Cruz utilizes Twitter, YouTube and its own website as a way to get information out to residents, whether by

reporting suspicious activity or providing a phone number that gets people in touch with a city representative.

Santa Cruz city offi cials have been thrilled by the attitude the group has sparked. “Sometimes, it’s important to re-mind the community that they can be more effective than government,” Santa Cruz City Councilwoman Lynn Robinson said. “I work with them a lot and it’s been really positive.”LEADING THE REVOLUTION

While Facebook has changed things in the United States, it’s also partly responsible for sweeping changes on the international stage. Earlier this year in Egypt, frustrated Egyptians took to the social network to de-cry the violence wounding their nation. Ac-cording to the Associated Press, 28-year-old Khalid Said posted on the Internet a video he took of offi cers taking drugs from a bust for their own personal use. Cops tortured Said and beat him to death.

Egyptians rallied around Said’s death as a symbol of the country’s corruption, forming a Facebook group called We Are All Khalid Said. More than 1.1 million peo-ple joined the cause. An English-based page of the same name has attracted more than 100,000 members.

During the revolution, in which Egyp-tians strove to overthrow President Hosni Mubarak, protests were planned on Face-book, coordinated on Twitter and captured on YouTube.

“The power of this technology,” Amer-ican U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice said

during a February town hall meeting at Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters, “the power of social networking to channel and champion public sentiment, has been more evident in the past few weeks than ever be-fore.”

The social media-fueled revolution was successful – Mubarak resigned on Feb. 11.SPREADING THE MESSAGE

Tracy mother Joleen Ruffi n was looking for a way to connect with other local moms, but found that the city’s geographic isola-tion – between the East Bay and the Stock-ton area – made it diffi cult. She couldn’t fi nd a moms’ group within a short drive.

So she created one.Using the social network creator Ning,

Ruffi n started Tracy Island in the spring of 2009. Within a month, roughly 300 lo-cals signed up, and the Island morphed into a bulletin board for Tracy residents. Currently, the site’s membership count is around 1,500, including those on the site’s Facebook page.

Ruffi n and other Tracyites post infor-mation about fundraisers, sales at small businesses and local events. Blogs on the site let residents have their say about issues fac-ing the town or simply allow them to share a great recipe.

“People love to come on there and see the events and see what’s going on,” said Ruffi n, recently recognized as the city’s Entrepreneur of the Year. “I’m like 411 in Tracy now.”

The Antioch Police Department also saw the need to create a social-media pres-ence. Worried that residents saw only the

ugly side of the city through traditional me-dia outlets, the department launched a cam-paign on Facebook and Twitter to report developments such as falling crime rates. So far, more than 300 people have joined the page.

Acting Police Chief Allan Cantando introduced the department’s social media efforts at an April City Council meeting, showing the fi rst of a video series called Be On The Lookout. The video re-enacts a bur-glary and shows how alert citizens can play a part in fi ghting crime. The re-enactment dramatizes how a passerby snapped a cell

phone photo of the burglar’s license plate – information that helped lead to an arrest.

Sgt. Tammany Brooks, who moder-ates the page, said the department posts crime statistics and suggests ways residents can help by alerting the department to criminal activity. Brooks noted that since the department launched the page about a month and a half ago, he’s seen greater involvement in law enforcement from the community.

Facebook also gives people a chance to see the faces behind the bookings. “It’s helped show a different side of the police department that doesn’t necessarily get brought out to the public,” Brooks said. “We’re trying to show people that there’s a real human element to our police depart-ment.”

To keep the page civil, Brooks adopt-ed a no-commenting policy on everything he posts. While people can “like” stories, photos and status updates given by the department’s page, any comment – good or bad – will be deleted.

Save Mount Diablo is another group that has seen success marketing through

social media. After a local resident’s effort to change the name Mt. Diablo to Mt. Rea-gan, several Save Mount Diablo members formed a Facebook group opposing the name change. Those members told others and soon, Anderson said, nearly 80,000

people voiced their opinion through Face-book.

“People really overwhelmingly want-ed to keep the mountain named as it was,” Anderson said. “(Facebook) was very suc-cessful in spreading the message.”

FEELING CONNECTEDOne key tenet of Facebook and Twitter is

that members can usually see who they’re talk-ing to. Unlike e-mail or message boards, com-ments are backed up by some kind of owner-ship, including a picture of the person. Ruffi n said the ability to see someone and discover common interests and mutual friends goes a long way toward effective communication.

“Social media is a way for you to get to know people before you actually get to know them,” she said. “When you actually meet that person, there’s already something you have in common. It’s really incredible to see that growth and meet the diversity of people in Tracy.”

It’s a feeling shared in Antioch. Many people met their neighbors for the fi rst time through Take Back Antioch – and became friends in the process.

“We’re all always somehow connected to Facebook, those of us who use it, and we’re waiting for someone to reply,” Gou-geon said. “It’s very personal and you know who’s replying. When you meet them in person, it’s kind of surreal.”

And all it takes is a click.To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

Eric Gerhard WittOn Sunday April 3, 2011, Eric Ger-

hard Witt, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, passed away at the age of 59 due to complica-tions of pan-creatic can-cer, joining his mother Eileen and father Ger-hard, who predeceased him.

Eric will be fondly remembered in the heart of his wife of more 32 years, Christine, by his children, Michael and Angela, and by his brother, Bruce, all of whom were deeply touched by his love and dedication to their happiness and well-being. Eric will also be remem-bered by numerous grandchildren, cous-ins, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and other extended family members as well as treasured friends and coworkers.

Eric’s influence in the world pen-etrated deeper and rippled out farther than his humble being would ever have accepted credit for. Stories abound of countless acts of kindness he extended to his coworkers, clients and commu-nity members. His generous nature was felt by his family and friends as well as acquaintances and strangers. Eric was both a protector and a seeker of truth and will be remembered for his love of

animals, adventure, humor and life.For more than three decades, Eric

served with his heart and deepest dedi-cation as a sales executive in the food industry, most of which he spent with Sysco Foods, a national food distribu-tion company. His commitment to serv-ing his clients through the years was more than a job; it was his life’s pur-pose to make sure everyone from small-restaurant owners to large hotels to our precious schools were provided the best service, enabling them to provide nour-ishment and fond social memories to the individuals they served.

As a Brentwood resident since 1981, Eric’s presence shall be felt in the community for many years to come. He not only supported the success of nu-merous restaurants and small-business owners but also served the community by volunteering for its baseball little leagues, a sport for which he had much passion. Through the years, an un-imaginably loving support network of friends evolved to which Eric’s family owes much gratitude. These friends in the community are graciously thanked for their continuous gifts of love and support.

Donations in Eric’s memory may be sent payable to “Planet Hugger” at The Eric Witt Scrubs of Love Home Care Program, 4960 S. Gilbert Road #1-184, Chandler, AZ 85249. Any donations will be used for providing complimen-tary household chores to those in need and battling cancer.

The rights of our seniors are important to me. What do you do when you have a legal dilemma and don’t have a clue where to start? I found myself in that position recently as I sought advice for my mom.

The fi rst thing I did was call someone who could guide me to the right person. As it was scary enough to need a lawyer, looking in the yellow pages was not an option. The word “lawyer” all by itself was making me shake. I called a friend, who happens to be an estate planning attorney, and he was able to refer me to an elder attorney. Specialists in law are like

doctors, I guess, so I was glad to get a name from somewhere other than those crazy TV ads.

Although an elder attorney should be consulted to deal with a major legal situation, a mediator is a fi nancially more prudent choice for lesser circumstances. Mediation facilitates a dialog between two parties, helping them reach a solution without costly court action and fees. It’s voluntary, confi dential and needn’t be bind-ing unless both parties agree.

Mediation can be a good avenue for such matters as care decisions, family disputes or tenant and landlord issues. Mediation gives you a voice without the need to write a huge check. If you have a concern that can be handled by mediation, call Elder Mediation Services at 925-687-8844, ext. 301. They’ve been around for more than 25 years, are associated with the

Center for Human Development (a nonprofi t group) and will tell you up front if you need a mediator, what if anything it will cost you and what you can expect as an outcome. CHD is a community-based organization that provides various services. Its website is www.chd-preven-tion.org.

If you feel you need an elder abuse at-torney, e-mail me at marla20542aol.com and I’ll offer a referral. Like I tell my school-age grandchildren, “Don’t let anyone bully you!”

The California State Long Term Care Ombudsman Program is responsible for inves-tigating and resolving complaints on behalf of residents in long term care, nursing homes or assisted living facilities. It develops policies, oversees the rights of residents and makes sure they’re protected against abuse. The services are free, confi dential and available 24/7 if you’re concerned about the quality of your care or that of a loved one, or if you suspect fi nancial, mental or physical abuse is being committed. The California State Long Term Care Om-budsman Program can also serve as a witness for Advance Health Directives. Its number is 800-231-4024.

I’m blessed to have a safe, healthy and happy environment for my mom. Her nosey daughter keeps tabs on everything on a daily ba-sis – and we’re the best of friends. She’s loved and well cared for. I’m not an attorney but I do know there are people and agencies that can help if needed. If you’re not a happy camper, speak up!
