Welcome! Greetings from the team The Ultimate Guide for 2013
I
n an age when so much of the information we seek is packaged in electronic form – requiring us to haul out our handheld device or scurry to our computer and surf the Web – it’s nice to grab a magazine, flip quickly to the desired page, find what we’re looking for right away and get on with our lives. This is the spirit of the East County Guide 2013: convenience, efficiency and information galore. Looking for a park that provides picnic tables? Want to know what your town’s next festival will be or what number to call to join a softball league? You won’t find that information up front in the phone
book. From child care to churches, from orchards to optometrists, the businesses and organizations in this guide don’t need to advertise in order to be listed. We’ve got them – and you – covered. Beneath the dynamic surface of East Contra Costa County is a spirit of friendliness and an emphasis on community, second to none among the factors that have attracted people here – lots of people. If you’re an old-timer, you know things keep changing. As new neighbors move in, so do new realtors, service organizations, physicians – you name it. And our mission is to help you find them.
Toward that goal, many of our sections – Arts and Culture, the Calendar, Parks, Recreation, Dining – offer suggestions for intriguing activities throughout the year and provide an important reminder: as you use the Guide to help your
professional and domestic life run more efficiently ... don’t forget to have some fun! So keep your East County Guide handy. And if you prefer reading a computer screen, you’ll find us there, too. Just hop on to www. eastcountyguide.com.

East County’s story goes way back
M
ore than 100 years ago, Native Americans called the East County area home. The Bay Miwok and Yokut Indians preceded Spanish explorer Pedro Fages, who in 1772 led the first European parties through the area. More than a century passed before European settlers arrived in the area to put down roots. ANTIOCH On Sept. 16, 1850, the first settlers arrived at the foot of what is now F Street in Antioch. The town was named after the ancient biblical city in Syria. The town incorporated in February of 1872 with a population of only 600. The year 1876 saw the introduction of a narrow-gauge railway between Antioch and the mining town of Stewartsville six miles to the south, at the site of today’s Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve. In 1851, Antioch got its first school, provided by a ship owner who donated the galley of his beached vessel to serve as a school building. Some of Antioch’s early businesses included brick kilns, coal mining, a copper smelter, several potteries and a distillery. By the early 1900s, Antioch was still only about 700 residents
14 Welcome!
strong, but the population began to skyrocket in the 1920s with the construction of the Antioch Bridge and Fulton Shipyards. During World War II, 27 vessels were built in Antioch for the U.S. Navy. By 1970, Antioch had grown to 28,500 residents. Built on inexpensive land, residential development further increased the citizenry to an estimated 47,000 by the mid 1980s. Today the population tops 100,000.
BRENTWOOD One of the first pioneers to settle in the Brentwood area was a doctor named John Marsh, who built a stately mansion out of stone, which still stands today on Marsh Creek Road. Marsh was murdered in 1856 before he ever moved into the house. The name Brentwood is believed to have come from the
Marsh family’s hometown of Brentwood, England. Development of the city was hastened by the discovery of coal in the Mt. Diablo foothills. By 1874, the first structures were popping up on Oak Street. Fertile soils and the coming of the railroad in 1890 helped make the area the largest shipping point for grain between New Orleans and San Francisco. The English land speculation company Balfour Guthrie installed a vast irrigation system that improved land values by allowing farmers to grow row crops and fruit trees, firmly establishing the town’s agricultural dynamism. Brentwood incorporated as a city in 1948. It remained a small agricultural community until the last decade of the century, when its proximity to the financial centers of the Bay
East County Guide
Area and its relatively affordable housing triggered rapid growth. The population grew nearly five times from 1990 to today’s 50,000-plus, bringing a suburban lifestyle and the related influx of goods and services to the formerly rural area. The effort to preserve at least some of the agricultural heritage continues today.
OAKLEY The discovery of Native American artifacts in Big Break clearly establishes Oakley as a site of that earlier culture. The first evidence of European settlers in Oakley can be traced to Randolph C. Marsh, one of the town’s first landowners (but no relation to Dr. John Marsh, who pioneered what is now Brentwood). In 1897, Marsh arrived and foresaw that the area

History could produce successful crops. He purchased 12 acres of land, plotted the town and named the first five streets Main, Acme, Ruby, Star and Home, spelling MARSH with the initial letter of each street name. Nicknamed “sandlappers” by critics who said crops would never grow in the sandy soil, the early settlers proved otherwise, turning Oakley into a bountiful source of fresh fruits and vegetables. In the 1930s, Oakley’s Main Street was dotted with packing sheds, and agriculture was shipped via the railroad throughout the nation. Oakley became a city in 1999.
DISCOVERY BAY Discovery Bay is a unique community in Contra Costa County. The idea was born in 1970, when the Veronica Development Company envisioned a water-oriented community where you could “Live Where You Play,” which became the town’s motto. Those who put their faith in the project based on their dreams haven’t been sorry. Lots they bought for $15,000 have sold in recent years for 10 to 15 times that amount. Developer Ken Hofmann opened sales in 1978 and buyers slept in the streets in order to get the lot of their choice. In 1984, Discovery Bay unveiled its crown jewel: an 18hole championship golf course. The final bays of the original Discovery Bay development opened in 1988. In 1997, Discovery Bay became a community services district, assuming oversight of most of its own activities other than land-use decisions and emergency services. (Land use and police services are overseen by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, while fire service is provided by the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District). The expansion of the community, 16 Welcome!
Discovery Bay West, began in 2000, at which time the official name of the community became The Town of Discovery Bay. In 2007, Discovery Bay was granted its own Postal ZIP Code, 94505, as its population grew past 17,000.
BETHEL ISLAND In 1860, a Mr. Stone reclaimed the land known as Bethel Island under the Swamp and Over Flowed Act of 1855. It was named Stone Tract. Ten years later, Stone sold the land to Major William K. Bethel, who used it to grow feed for the dairy herd on the island. Bethel Island, which was officially named in 1898, actually became an island in the 1890s when surrounding sloughs were dredged. The Bethel Island Bridge, a one-lane wooden plank structure, was built in 1918. During this same time, the island was farmed by William J. Hotchkiss, who purchased 1,317 acres to grow potatoes, beans and sugar beets. During the 1920s and ’30s, Bethel Island became known as a fishing paradise and haven for hunters. Harbors were built along the island’s waterfront, and recreation flourished. Electricity was first brought to the island in 1946. In 2010, construction was completed on a new Bethel Island Bridge, replacing the aging wooden structure that provided the only access to the island.
KNIGHTSEN Knightsen was founded in 1898, when the Sante Fe Railroad made its preliminary survey through the area. George W. Knight, a native of Maine, purchased 110 acres of land from Lazarus Barkley, acreage that eventually became the town of Knightsen. The name Knightsen was derived
Due to Bethel Island’s remote location and many residents in their retirement years, the town’s fire district became the first in the region to employ full-time firefighters and offer advanced lifesaving paramedic services. Above, Bethel Island volunteer firefighters stand with their equipment in front of the World War II surplus Quonset hut erected in 1947 and still in use today. Photo courtesy of the East Contra Costa Historical Society
from Knight’s last name and the last three letters of his wife’s maiden name, Christensen. Dairies were established in the early 1900s. In the 1920s, the Knightsen Irrigation District brought water to the fields, allowing farmers to plant a huge variety of crops. The Knightsen Farm Bureau was established in 1918, and the Farm Bureau Center is still a community gathering place. Recently, Knightsen received official historical designation for several of its downtown buildings.
BYRON The town of Byron was founded in 1878, when the San Pablo and Tulare Railroad Company built a track connecting Contra Costa and San Joaquin counties, though settlers had been in the area for many years. After finding no luck in the Sierra Nevada gold mines, German immigrant Henry Wilkening built a house on land he purchased
East County Guide
near where the railroad planned to build its station. He became Byron’s first Post Master and built the town’s first hotel, saloon and livery stable. In the 1860s, R.O. Risdon discovered the Byron Hot Springs. His nephew, Lewis Risdon Mead, discovered more than 50 springs ranging in temperature from 52 to 140 degrees. Mead developed the nowidle Byron Hot Springs, popular with the rich and famous in the 1920s and ’30s. In 1938, the resort was closed and sold to the government, which used it as a prisoner of war interrogation center during World War II. Plans to re-open the resort are in the works, and include hotel, golf and hot spring spa facilities. Historical information was compiled from “Footprints in the Sand” by Kathy Leighton, the East Contra Costa County Historical Society, the Antioch Chamber of Commerce and the Antioch Historical Society. 2013

nown as “The Gateway to the Delta,” Antioch is blessed with a rich history and an array of opportunities for family fun.
Nestled against the San Joaquin River, Antioch’s historic Rivertown district offers placid vistas and a wealth of shopping and entertainment possibilities. The city is home to natural treasures such as Contra Loma Park and Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve. Antioch also provides several residential parks where folks can enjoy soccer, baseball, softball or just a leisurely stroll. Antioch’s Water Park is another familyfriendly destination for cool fun when the weather heats up. Across from the water park is one of the city’s jewels, the Antioch Community Center. In addition to its charming shops, the city’s Rivertown district features meccas of entertainment such as the legendary El Campanil Theatre. Numerous big names have graced El Campanil’s stage, including Debbie Reynolds, Randy Newman and the Kingston Trio. Antioch is known as a city where young minds are nurtured for success. The Antioch Unified School District, in addition to its traditional campuses, operates such diverse facilities as the Deer Valley Law Academy, Dozier-Libbey Medical High School and the Delta Academy for the Performing Arts.

Brentwood’s quality of life garners awards
A
s the dust begins to settle from one of the most protracted economic slumps in the nation’s history, the city of Brentwood in 2013 finds itself in better shape than many communities, and is ready to lead the way into the future. As it has throughout the recession, Brentwood last year suffered no police layoffs, maintaining a force of 64 sworn personnel. The city continues to maintain a balanced budget as well as reserves of $11.5 million, or 30 percent. The budget greatly benefited from new labor agreements in 2012. A new second tier of benefits will lower retirement costs for new employees, who will also pay more of their retirement contributions. And a cap was placed on city-paid medical coverage. The total savings of more than $34 million will enable the city to virtually eliminate its 22 Welcome!
post-employment liabilities in the next 10 years. Growth in the city’s park system continued in 2012 as Summerset Commons came on line as the city’s 68th park. Summerset Commons’ 10 acres include walking trails and benches, as well as malbec and pinot noir grapevines that will be harvested and sold to help offset maintenance costs. The plethora of well-maintained parks is just one aspect of life in Brentwood that has earned the city national acclaim. In 2012, the Arbor Day Foundation named Brentwood a Tree City USA Community for the second year in a row. The city was named a Playful City USA for the fifth straight year by the national nonprofit play advocate group KABOOM! The League of American Bicyclists again named Brentwood a Bike Friendly Community. First earned in 2003, the designation will now be noted on signs along the many bike paths until 2014. And Brentwood was named a Healthy Eating Active Living East County Guide
(HEAL) city by the League of California Cities and the California Center for Public Health Advocacy. The award recognizes Brentwood’s Wellness Policy and attention to the environment as a key factor in fighting obesity and inactivity. More than $5 million was invested in the city’s roads and utility systems last year, not because they’re falling apart but to prevent that from occurring. The strategy has earned the Municipal Transportation Commission’s Best Pavement Award for the fourth straight year. On the jobs front, last year saw nearly 500 new jobs created in Brentwood by 62 new retail, office and industrial businesses. The City Council also approved a strategy to bring key industries to the city, including more health care and technology companies. And efforts to bolster the business climate by marketing Brentwood’s benefits to the outside world garnered an Award of Excellence for its marketing program. 2013

Town of Discovery Bay Live Where You Play is no empty motto. Discovery Bay residents take fun seriously, whether on the golf course, tennis court or their own backyard – the shimmering waters of the Delta.
O
nce a quiet hamlet on the eastern border of Contra Costa County, the upscale community of Discovery Bay has grown from a weekend retreat into a year-round, familybased town of nearly 15,000 residents. Today, the unincorporated Live-WhereYou-Play community boasts shopping centers, churches and top-notch, awardwinning schools as well as a chief of police, crime prevention specialist and full-time resident deputies. A five-member elected Community Services District (CSD) board governs Discovery Bay, handling the town’s water, sewer, recreation and landscaping needs. The CSD also provides the county with recommendations regarding issues such as commercial ventures, housing and police services. Reclamation District 800 (Rec 800) is governed by a five-member elected board of trustees charged with overseeing and maintaining the town’s levee system. Rec 800 also manages water drainage and circulation in Discovery Bay’s lakes and lagoons. Discovery Bay’s boat docks and access to 1,200 miles of waterways allows residents to enjoy an abundance of watersports, including boating, windsurfing, paddleboarding, fishing and swimming. The town also offers excellent tennis facilities and a championship golf course at the Discovery Bay Country Club.

Discovery Bay gets its green on Residents came out in droves in 2012 to celebrate the planet on Discovery Bay’s inaugural Earth Day festival at Slifer Park. Nearly 700 residents attended and more than 200 volunteers rolled up their sleeves and planted trees, cleaned up the park and participated in environmental and earth-friendly activities. The event was created by Discovery Bay General Manager Rick Howard based on a similar event he developed in Mission Viejo. “This was a great event that showed the community how to be energy efficient, conserve natural resources and do it in a fun way,” said Howard. “We can’t wait until next year’s festival.” Participants also enjoyed entertainment, food from local restaurants, informational displays and a family photo booth. Kite flying was available for the young – and young at heart – and was augmented by bounce houses, games, crafts and flowerpot planting. Also present were local eco-friendly vendors such as the local garbage and recycling company County Vector Control, Contra Costa Storm Water, Pacific Coast Farmers’ Market, a hybrid car display, Veolia Water and local landscaping companies. Earth Day was founded in 1970 as a reflection of the nation’s growing concern for the environment. U.S. Sen. Gaylord Nelson rallied the public, media and Congress to create a day each year to put the environment on center stage. The first Earth Day led to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency and the passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water and Endangered Species acts. Now, 41 years later, Earth Day is celebrated by millions around the world every April 22. 2013

O
akley has worked hard to balance growth and development with its desire to maintain its small-town appeal and rich agricultural heritage.
Incorporated in 1999, the city of more than 36,000 residents boasts an abundance of parks and expanded recreational opportunities. In 2012, Oakley opened its first all-abilities playground, The World of Discovery at Crockett Park. The park includes a play structure that satisfies children of all needs, including those with physical or mental handicaps. Among Oakley’s popular community events are the holiday tree lighting in the Civic Center Plaza, movies in the park, the Harvest Festival and Oakley’s newest traditions: observances for Memorial Day and Veterans Day. In 2012, the city gained control of Main Street from Caltrans and began road improvements in the summer to widen Main Street as part of the Downtown Specific Plan. The plan envisions a bustling downtown district filled with shops, restaurants and entertainment venues that will make the heart of Oakley a true destination. Plans moved forward with the construction of Carpaccio and La Costa restaurants. Work on the new downtown plaza is expected to begin in early 2013. 30 Welcome!

City of Oakley Oakley seeks community connection The City of Oakley launched its You, Me, We = Oakley campaign in 2012 as a way to promote unity throughout the community. The program strives to improve dialogue between the public, government and schools by gathering input about community needs, while fostering a welcoming atmosphere throughout the city. A prime goal of You, Me, We = Oakley is to make residents feel comfortable about approaching neighbors and city officials. “Oakley is a growing city,” said You, Me, We = Oakley Program Coordinator Gabriela Baños-Galvan. “And these days, people don’t connect with their own neighbors, let alone the extended community.” Part of enhancing the connection is helping Spanish speakers get access to information about community events and city updates. For example, the Oakley

school district hosted the Latino family literacy outreach workshop Leer Para Crecer (Read to Grow). The goal of the event was to enhance dialogue between schoolteachers and the Latino community, emphasizing the importance of literacy in the home. On the flip side, the school district also annually hosts a Cinco de Mayo celebration for the entire community, allowing residents to come together to better understand the Mexican holiday. In another effort to engage the Spanish-speaking community, the city hosted a neighborhood watch workshop specifically for Spanish speakers. After conducting a series of focus groups, Baños-Galvan discovered that Oakleyites have much in common. Residents want a safe community in which to raise their families; quality schools and a reduction in crime; and more ways

to be involved to feel connected to the community. “People have been really responsive to the program,” said BañosGalvan. To foster that community connection, You, Me, We = Oakley also promotes acceptance of diversity. Building trust, respecting others and treating people as you’d like to be treated are fundamentals discussed in grade school, but BañosGalvan believes that everyone could use a reminder about common courtesies. Students practicing kindness in school become role models to the adults in their lives, and Baños-Galvan hopes those lessons can become part of everyday life in Oakley. In January of 2013, the program received the Award for the Advancement of Diverse Communities by the League of California Cities. For more information, visit www. youmeweoakley.org.

Town of Byron
T
he unincorporated farming town of Byron, nearly 1,000 residents strong, is one of East County’s smallest communities. The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors governs Byron, but the Byron Municipal Advisory Council (BMAC) – composed of local residents – advises the supervisors on local landuse, planning and zoning issues, and also represents Byron on the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) regarding annexation and boundary issues. Another area agency, Reclamation District 800, is responsible for the maintenance and operation of levees in and around the Sacramento/ San Joaquin Delta. Rec 800’s five-member board of directors, elected by local landowners, governs the district. Byron’s irrigation water is managed by the Byron-Bethany Irrigation District. In 2010, the district completed work on a $3 million upgrade to the facility – the district’s first facelift since it was built in 1958. Police services for Byron are provided through the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff; fire and emergency services are provided by the East Contra Costa County Fire Protection District. The Byron Airport, which holds events featuring vintage aircraft (above left), finished the first phase of its $10 million expansion program in 2010, the first upgrade for the county-owned airport in more than a decade. Byron is also home to the famous Byron Hot Springs. Its hotel, built in the late 1800s, reached its peak of popularity in the 1930s and was a destination for some of Hollywood’s brightest stars, including Clark Gable, who was known to enjoy the hotel’s healings waters, mud baths and luxurious accommodations. The spring’s current owners are planning to restore the spa to its former glamour.

Town of Byron Kaleidoscope, Boys Ranch keep hope alive It’s in the bag Byron-based Kaleidoscope, a nonprofit organization that cares for those suffering from cancer, has been changing lives in East County for 10 years, and its ripple effect has reached people around the world. It all starts with a Bag of Hope – a promise to cancer patients that they’re not alone in their fight. What looks like a simple gift bag on the outside bestows good wishes and specials gifts made from folks in the recipient’s own community. This is the first step in Kaleidoscope’s mission. After a bag has been delivered, the Kaleidoscope Connection Team reaches out to the cancer patient and offers support – a home-cooked meal, a weekly phone call or an invitation to a support group. “In our 10 years, we’ve probably delivered 750 Bags of Hope,” said Jan Page, Kaleidoscope founder and executive director. “It’s the first step in making a connection with some affected by cancer. Cancer can be a very lonely journey. A lot of people don’t know how to offer support, and that’s where we come in. We want them to know they don’t have to do this alone.” “When you’re first diagnosed with cancer, you have no idea what to do,” said Debbie Hundoble, who battled breast cancer eight years ago. “Your friends don’t know what to do either, and some of them keep their distance, so you feel isolated. You’ve just received the worst news and you feel like you have no one in your corner. “But when Kaleidoscope comes into your life, you realize there are people who want to help. They’re complete strangers, but they open their arms to you. It becomes like a family. ” For more information about Kaleidoscope, call 925-634-1411, e-mail info@kaleidoscopehope.org or visit www. kaleidoscopehope.org. Growing more than plants A 16-year-old we’ll call Steve admits that when he first came to the Byron 2013
Boys Ranch youth rehabilitation facility, gardening wasn’t a seed he was interested in sowing. But thanks to the Sprouts Garden Club, Steve has begun planting trees, tending rose bushes and developing his green thumb. As he puts it, “I’m a real digger now.” Through the efforts of Sprouts founders Ryan Allen and Camille Hieb, young men such as Steve are learning how to make their gardens grow through a volunteer off-campus program run by the garden club. For both the boys and the Sprouts, it’s a symbiotic relationship. “This is the first time some of these boys have been able to come off the ranch, and it’s a really big deal,” said Allen, who along with Hieb works with the boys twice a week at the ranch as well as the occasional off-site project. “These are great boys and
we are so happy to have them and see them get excited about gardening.” Another boy at the ranch, whom we’ll call Mike, used to watch his grandma gardening at her home. Now he wants in on the action. “I’m learning a lot about gardening and it’s really fun,” he said. “Now when I get home I can help my grandma in her garden.” A handful of the boys helped Discovery Bay Landscape Manager Fairin Perez plant trees and bushes along a stretch of road on Clipper Drive. Under the supervision of Allen and Hieb, the boys worked up a sweat as they dug, planted and watered the plants, but they offered nothing but praise for the program and its leadership. “This is my boss,” laughed “AJ” as he put his arm around Hieb. “I do whatever she says.” “I’m really happy that they’re here; they’ve been a huge help,” said Perez. “It’s a nice community project for everyone.” The off-site program is volunteer-based, but the boys who sign up must be in good standing at the ranch and get the OK from their teachers to miss classroom time – even though they receive credit for participating. For more information on the Sprouts Garden Club or to help with the Byron Boys Ranch program, call 925-516-2542 or 925216-8092.

Town of Bethel Island
Mariners get into the spirit of the San Joaquin Yacht Club Boat Parade, left, one of the island’s prime celebrations. Above, farming still plays a role in the life of the Bethel Island community.
B
ethel Island is the most populous island in the 1,200-mile Delta waterway. Approximately 2,100 people call the waterfront community home. The island draws big crowds for its annual ’50s Bash, Holiday Lighted Boat Parade and Opening Day on the Delta Boat Parade. The island also boasts a championship 18-hole golf course and the San Joaquin Yacht Club. Since the Delta is home to an abundance of black bass, striped bass, catfish, crappie, perch, bullhead and sturgeon, fishing is a favorite pastime in Bethel Island,
which garners national attention every year when the FLW Outdoors series hosts fishing tournaments from Russo’s Marina. In 2013, the Everlast Series will visit the marina on the weekend of May 16. Established in the mid-1990s, the Bethel Island Municipal Advisory Council (BIMAC) gives the community a voice on island and regional issues. The island’s Neighborhood Watch groups hold meetings with BIMAC. The Bethel Island Municipal Improvement District (BIMID) provides levee maintenance and repair for the island, and the Ironhouse Sanitary District (ISD) handles the island’s sewer services.

Town of Knightsen Knightsen: preserving the good old days since 1898
B
y contemporary standards, Knightsen is a one-ofa-kind town. Impelled by the desire to retain the small-town virtues of independence and closeknit community, citizens of this century-old, historic railroad town have resisted the headlong rush toward suburban development. Knightsen is a living, breathing document of an earlier and more genial time.
The Knightsen 4-H Club, above, shines on the stage of the Contra Costa County Fair. Left, Knightsen Days celebrates the town’s picturesque and treasured past. Newberry Estate Vineyards, below, provides an elegant venue for life’s landmarks.
2013
No stoplights interfere with the easy pace of Knightsen, where a smile, a wave and a handshake remain the rule, not the exception. Roughly 1,500 residents share 14 square miles of land. No housing tracts threaten Knightsen’s identity. While town leaders support 2-acre parcels, the current 10-acres-per-parcel mandate will remain until drainage issues are addressed. The town’s many ranchettes are home to as many horses as humans, and its farms grow incomparable fruits and vegetables. Several horse arenas and boarding facilities are open to the public for equestrian activities. Igonzo Pygmy Goat Farm raises and sells registered pygmy goats. The finest heirloom tomatoes – and dozens of other varieties – in Northern California can be purchased at Smith Family Farms’ roadside stand. And Knightsen Honey Company is always buzzing with activity. The Knightsten 4-H Club, founded in 1927, is California’s oldest 4-H chapter. The town was founded in 1898 when it became a stop for the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad. Knightsen’s founder, George Knight, was married to a woman by the last name of Christensen, and the two names were combined to become the name of the town. On the recreation front, three marinas and a professional private ski lake make Knightsen a magnet for water-sports enthusiasts, and a private airport is home to ultra-light flier groups. The annual Knightsen Days event draws East County folks from all over. The event boasts a car and tractor show plus an open-air, evening screening of a film on the history of the town. The Knightsen School District, long renowned for the waiting lists generated by children from outside communities desiring to transfer in, was honored for its academic excellence in 2010 when Knightsen Elementary became a California Distinguished School. Knightsen’s community interests are looked after by the Knightsen Community Services District (CSD). Established to manage flood control, the CSD in 2010 was also charged with advising the County Board of Supervisors on issues from housing to roads to water rights.

ast County libraries provide far more than books on shelves and computers on desks. They’ve become a dynamic center for special events and educational opportunities for library goers of all ages. Kids can participate in story and craft sessions, learn about fire safety and be entertained by puppet shows; teens can enter the Catch the Reading Bug event and win prizes; adults can take advantage of the county-sponsored Reading Festival’s talks by big-time authors. And library-a-Go-Go allows BART riders at Pittsburg/Bay Point and residents in the Discovery Bay area to pursue their reading adventures by swiping their library cards at an ATM-style machine loaded with literary gems.

A
s a sign of the improving economy, a new elementary school in East County will open its doors in July for the 2013-14 school year. After sitting vacant for nearly two years, the Mary Casey Black Elementary School in Brentwood will come alive with the bustle of learning.
Built in 2011 in anticipation of future housing growth and funded with hardship money from the state, Brentwood’s eighth elementary school campus will open to 500 students as a Transitional K-5 for children living in the north Brentwood area. The school is located at 480 Farmington Drive on the corner of
Garin Parkway and Farmington Drive near Sand Creek Road. Mary Casey Black Elementary is named after the retired school district teacher, principal and district administrator who worked in the district for 37 years – and remains an active member of the East County community.

Old River houses new charter school A small elementary school district in Tracy has landed a lease to open a secondary charter school in Knightsen this September, a move that could potentially benefit the financially beleaguered Knightsen Elementary School District while providing alternative educational options for families throughout Contra Costa County. The Knightsen School Board approved the facility lease agreement between the New Jerusalem and Knightsen Elementary school districts to open the Delta Academy for Technology and the Arts – a satellite campus of the Delta Charter School in the New Jerusalem district – at Old River Elementary School. The K-12 school will draw students from areas such as Mountain House, Discovery Bay and Brentwood. The contract provides for the use of classrooms in the C building of Old River as well as the administrative offices and cafeteria. Old River Elementary was forced to close its doors three years ago due to financial difficulties. “We’re very excited about the agreement,” said Bill Redford, director of business services and development for the New Jerusalem School District, which will oversee the 2013
educational programs and day-to-day running of the school. “It’s a beautiful facility and we’re happy to be here.” “I am very, very happy with the independent study program within our district,” said Liberty Union High School District Superintendent Eric Volta. “And I think if people compare the two programs and the measure of support our students receive at Independence and our other schools, it will speak volumes about the programs we provide in our district.” While the introduction of charter schools in East County is still a novelty (there are only two, both in Antioch) it isn’t unusual for local school districts with empty facilities to rent out space in an effort to offset
costs. Rick Rogers, superintendent of the Oakley Union Elementary School District (OUESD), has done just that with Almond Grove Elementary School. The school was built in 2008 in anticipation of the increase in the housing market, but was never opened. For a time, the district leased the site to a private Christian school until the arrangement was dissolved in August of 2011. However, with the arrival of the Lynn Center – an early-intervention and preschool program for special-needs children – last August, the OUESD now maintains a physical presence on site and the Lynn Center has a new home.
“It’s been a win-win for both our district and the special-needs students at the Lynn Center,” said Rogers. “They are benefiting from an underutilized facility, and we’re able to bring this program to our community and many of our students who would have been transported to Pittsburg. It’s a nice arrangement. Redford is hopeful the new deal with Knightsen will be a nice arrangement as well. “We have had a lot of interest from the Discovery Bay and Brentwood area from students that already travel to our Tracy location,” said Redford. “So we know there are a number of families interested in what we have to offer. We’re excited about providing a great service.”

O
nce Freedom High School’s community garden is planted early this year, science teacher John Sierra hopes the garden will yield another type of greens: cash.
Sierra and his students will be documenting the establishment of Freedom’s 6,000-square-foot garden as part of a contest entry in Samsung’s Solve For Tomorrow grant competition. Freedom High was one of 75 schools selected to participate in the nationwide contest in which schools demonstrate how science, math, technology and engineering can be used to benefit the environment. Freedom’s community garden will be divided into microclimates featuring native, drought resistant plants. The garden will be composed of a native grass section, an oak woodland area and sections dedicated to desert, riparian and chaparral plants. A newly purchased greenhouse will be featured along with student art constructed from recycled plastic bottles. The garden will also include a living wall, solar fountain, food towers, herb spiral and compost bins. Senior Ashley Castaldi, president of the Freedom environmental club FRESHH (Freedom Relies on Environmental Stewardship for a Healthy Home) is looking forward to the garden becoming a reality. “I’ve been involved with FRESHH since I was a freshman, so now that I’m a senior, it’s really cool that all our planning and fundraising is finally coming together,” Castaldi said. “And what’s even better is that this isn’t just for Freedom. It’s for the community, too.”

ast County is home to a host of schools that take students to the stratosphere of discovery, from community colleges to religious institutions. Non-students in the East County community also take advantage of the many concerts, theatrical events, lectures and symposia offered at such places as Los Medanos College’s main campus in Pittsburg. LMC’s current Brentwood campus, located in the Brentwood Technology Center, is unable to accommodate further growth, making a larger and more permanent Brentwood campus a necessity. The new campus is to be located at the Pioneer Square site in Brentwood’s Vineyards at Marsh Creek subdivision. EAST COUNTY COLLEGES

Los Medanos College won a Growth Award of Merit from the Community College Facilities Coalition for its new Quadrangle Complex. As the award states, the facility “reinforces the administration, faculty and staff commitment to the students and community.�
LMC prepares students for success In the fall semester of 2012, LMC offered a unique, focused Vocational and Industrial Technology Career Academy. The academy introduced students to careers in automotive repair, electrical appliances, heating and air conditioning, welding, process technology and electrical/ instrumentation technology. The academy also provided instruction in basic math and English designed for vocational and industrial careers. The LMC Career Academy is part of the East Bay Career Advancement Academies, a regional workforce development initiative led jointly by the Contra Costa and Peralta Community College districts. LMC also offered workshop orientations to college and careers for new and returning students interested in job training certificates and degrees that lead directly to employment. The orientations introduced students to strategies on how to shorten their college years and go straight into careers that match their interests. The orientations also provided step-by-step instructions on how to apply to college and how to access financial aid resources, plus details on how to succeed in each of the job training certificate and degree programs. 2013

hether you’re in the mood for a lofty and panoramic vista or a cozy playground nestled in the heart of town, East County offers an array of parks to satisfy your need for scenic refreshment.
Round Valley Regional Preserve, a mere 10-minute drive from downtown Brentwood, provides more than 2,000 acres of hiking that feature a 1,200-foot summit flowing down to intimate wooded canyons. It’s a popular destination for equestrians as well as wildflower enthusiasts. Adjoining Round Valley are two other magnificent 52 Welcome!
parks: Los Vaqueros and Morgan Territory. In 2012, Los Vaqueros Watershed, owned and operated by the Contra Costa Water District, completed an expansion project that raised the previous dam’s height by 34 feet, increasing the reservoir’s capacity from 100,000 to 160,000 acre-feet. The reservoir is well-stocked
with some of the liveliest fish in the region, and its marina supplies anglers and boaters with all they need for a memorable day on the water. The park’s 55 miles of trails are a hiker’s paradise. Its western trails provide access to the rugged expanse of Morgan Territory Regional Preserve. Like Round Valley, Morgan Territory is part of

the East Bay Regional Park District. Its lowland valleys mark the headwaters of a body of water vital to East County recreators: Marsh Creek. Marsh Creek sideswipes Round Valley, swings north and bisects Brentwood, flows through Oakley and spills into the San Joaquin River at Big Break lagoon. The Continued on page 54 2013

Delta Recreation
E
ast County’s user-friendly climate and 1,200 miles of waterfront access make it a popular destination for visitors and a haven for residents.
Boating and water sports enthusiasts can enjoy beautiful scenery, test their mettle on that new wakeboard or enjoy both casual fishing and national fishing tournaments. If you crave up-close encounters with wildlife, you’ll find
the Delta swarming with herons, egrets, otters, beavers, birds of prey, turtles and even the occasional harbor seal or sea lion. The Delta’s canvas companies, fishing guides, chandleries, construction companies, and fishing and boating suppliers are also major contributors to the local economy. Marinas are plentiful, from Antioch and Oakley to Bethel Island and Discovery Bay. More than two dozen marinas along the Delta offer everything from boat slips to yacht harbors, campsites to places to stop for a bite to eat and fill up the tank. They include:

Agriculture
W
ith each passing season, East County continues to develop and mature as our population increases and more businesses find their niche in our backyard. But no matter how the landscape changes, we continue to nurture our community’s agricultural roots through roadside produce stands and weekly farmers’ markets. Crops of houses have replaced many of the fields where fruit and vegetables once grew, but agriculture is still very much alive in East County. Many flock to Brentwood every July to savor the firm texture and sweet flavor of corn at the annual CornFest or rush to pick cherries after Memorial Day, but fresh produce is available in East County all year long – 66 Welcome!
if you know where to look. The Pacific Coast Farmers’ Market Association certifies annual farmers’ markets in Antioch and Brentwood. Antioch’s Somersville Towne Center Farmers’ Market, located in the Towne Center parking lot off of Somersville Road, is open on Sundays from May through September. The Kaiser Permanente Antioch Farmers’ Market,
held at 4501 Sand Creek Road on Thursdays, runs from April through October. The downtown Brentwood Farmers’ Market is scheduled to open at the end of March and close in mid-November. For farmers’ markets dates and times, visit www.pcfma. com, which is updated weekly to let you know which vendors will be present that week. The local supermarket
East County Guide
offers plenty of produce already picked and packaged for your dining pleasure, but East County offers foodies the special experience of gathering their own delectables straight from the orchard, from Brooks cherries at Maggiore Ranch to apricots and peaches from Tachella Family Farms. During the summer, more than 30 produce stands offer scrumptious fruits, 2013
Agriculture vegetables, jams, nuts, herbs and seasonings, plus oils and vinegars. Stands continue to get bigger and offer a greater variety of products every year. In 2007, the county passed an ordinance allowing growers to sell items not grown on the premises, such as water, soft drinks and pies, alongside their home-grown goods. A list of all the local growers can be found at the Harvest Time website, www. harvest4you.com. There are loads of local goodies to munch on, but an impressive array of high-quality grapes are grown right here in East County. In 2004, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors approved agricultural rezoning to allow
local vineyards to feature wine-tasting rooms on their property. Hannah Nicole Vineyards in Brentwood took advantage of the development and now holds wine tastings Wednesdays through Sundays. Local wines may also be tasted and purchased at Brentwood’s Co. Co. County Wine Company on First Street. If you’re looking to share the flavors of our end of Contra Costa County with friends and family unaware of our agricultural wonders, buy a gift basket from McCauley Brothers Olives Groves or Gursky Ranch Country Store. Share these treats with friends and neighbors – or keep it all for yourself. There’s plenty to go around.

2013
Worship Byron United Methodist Church pastor Dan Sturdivant, who is taking a sabbatical from the ministry to write a book, believes that “the church is not about a building, it’s about paying attention to people who are lonely, or in need, or who are hurting. Buildings will take care of themselves if you just care for other people.” Byron United Methodist now conducts ecumenical services on major holidays and cooperates with neighboring St. Anne Catholic and Discovery Bay Presbyterian churches to form the Delta Christian Community Food Bank.
T
he diversity of culture and lifestyle found in East County is reflected in the diversity of its places of worship. For those who seek the magnificence of a large, liturgically oriented congregation or the intimacy of a home-church group, for those from ancient religious traditions or traditions of recent origin, East County is alive with communities of faith that play a dynamic role in the daily walk of its people.

econd to none among the responsibilities of a community to its members is providing good health care.

Transportation Ground was broken in 2012 for a $32 million project that will complete a four-lane roadway from Laurel Road in Oakley to Sand Creek Road in Brentwood, a distance of 2.7 miles. The project includes four on- and off-ramps at Sand Creek Road plus five bridges. The project is expected to be complete in the spring of 2014. Caltrans and CCTA are also widening State Route 4 to four lanes in each direction in Pittsburg and Antioch, and Caltrans is widening the median and shoulder in Discovery Bay.
E
ast County is blissfully less congested than areas on the far side of “the hill” – for now. But with population growth comes the challenge to help that population get where it’s going expeditiously, and East County’s transportation infrastructure is likewise on the move. Tri Delta Transit continues to provide outstanding bus service; the Vasco Road Safety Improvements Project has made that gauntlet less hazardous to run; and an eBART line is planned to run from the Bay Point BART to Antioch’s Hillcrest Avenue.

Pet Services Therapy helps pets get healthy and stay healthy Jules spent three months in physical therapy recovering from arthritis and a ruptured ligament in her leg – unremarkable except for the fact that Jules isn’t human. The 9-year-old Rottweiler received her physical therapy at Animal Rehabilitation and Wellness, Inc., a new center that brings the emerging field of animal physical therapy to Brentwood. Dr. Cory Sims, clinical director for Animal Rehabilitation and Wellness, took a class on the subject in July of 2011 and saw instant results when she began using it with her patients. After discovering she needed more space, she opened Animal Rehabilitation and Wellness with partner Troy Mendia in March of 2012. Animals are dropped off in the morning on therapy days and treated to fun exercise sessions interspersed by breaks. Boarding is available for pets with medical conditions that require special attention while their owners are out of town. Physical therapy can be used to help animals recover from surgery or injury. It can also slow the progress of degenerative diseases, promote weight loss in obese pets and provide conditioning for sport or work dogs, and it serves as a helpful counterpart to a pet’s traditional veterinary visits. The center also provides cold laser therapy for joint pain and surgical recovery, plus electrical stimulation for pain relief. Using no needles or medications, the center is designed to make pets feel comfortable. “It looks like a gym,” said Sims. The tools used in physical therapy are more like toys than medical equipment. Yoga balls, padded hurdles and orange cones make for a fun and engaging environment. “As far as the dog knows,” said Sims, “it’s play time.” One tool of the trade, the underwater treadmill, allows dogs suffering from pain or weight problems to exercise in a low-impact environment. The water pressure soothes aching joints and provides resistance to movement, prompting muscle conditioning. Sims

advocates the treadmill as safer than swimming for doggie exercise, as the environment is controlled and the movements are more natural. Physical therapy isn’t just for dogs. Cats can benefit from the center’s programs and boarding, and even enjoy a special, quiet room in the facility designed with kitty comfort in mind. Wide windows, a tunnel, a cat tree and a diffuser that emits calming pheromones ensure feline happiness. Cats enjoy napping in their “studios with a bath,” as Sims put it – multi-level kennels with a separate litter box area. When Jules the Rottweiler began seriously suffering from her arthritis, her owners thought they might need to euthanize her. But they first brought her to Animal Rehabilitation and Wellness, and after a few months of physical therapy, Jules was off her medications and running three miles a day with her owner. Her remarkable success isn’t unusual; Sims has seen improvement in every case she has treated. “It works,” she said with a smile. “It’s hugely rewarding for me and it’s a huge gift for the family, who gets their pet back.” Animal Rehabilitation and Wellness, Inc., located at 4505 O’Hara Ave. in Brentwood, is open Mondays and Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call 925-234-2364 or visit www.animal rehabilitationandwellness.com.

Dining East County eateries – especially sports bars – have been hoppin’ spots in 2012-13. Championship runs by the Giants and 49ers, climaxing in a World Series trophy and Super Bowl appearance, have prompted East County superfans to gather in large and loud numbers.
A
s the complexity and sophistication of East County culture increases, so does its palate. There aren’t many cuisines you won’t find available around here, and the quality of restaurants – from fast food right up through fine dining – should keep you well-fueled for your high-energy East County lifestyle. We wouldn’t be surprised if Dining turns out to be the most frequented section in your guide. After all, you gotta eat. AFGHAN Chaman Kabob 5611 Lone Tree Way, Brentwood 634-1454
