Greetings from the 2011 welcome! team

In an age when so much of the information we seek is packaged in

electronic form – requiring us to 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 2011 East County Welcome! Guide: 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, we’ve spread throughout the Guide our 52 Things To Do in East County, fascinating activities for each week of the year. We feel the 52 Things 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 Welcome! Guide handy. And if you prefer reading a computer screen, you’ll find us there, too. Just hop on to www.welcomemag.net.

7 Wine TastingWho says you need to go to Napa,

Sonoma or Livermore to enjoy a first-class wine-tasting experience? Hannah Nicole Vineyards’ winery on the outskirts of Brentwood opened its expansive doors in 2009, making it the area’s first such facility since Prohibition brought winemaking – and wine tasting facilities – to a halt. And Brentwood’s Co. Co. Wine Company downtown provides an intimate setting for your enlightenment and pleasure in the world of wine. Visit www.hnvwines.com and cocowineco.com.

8

MassagesReady for a respite from

the demands of the so-called real world? What better way to refresh and rejuvenate than with a magnificent massage? Whether it’s a full-body, Swedish or deep-tissue massage you have in mind, East County has just what you’re looking for, and prices to suit every pocketbook. Look for the complete lineup of Salons & Spas on page 94 of this guide.

9 Marsh Creek TrailWhen winter rains turn most trails to mud,

the wide, paved Marsh Creek Trail is the choice of everyone from joggers to rollerbladers, baby-stroller pushers to dog walkers. Any time of year, a leisurely stroll on the avenue that hugs Marsh Creek’s nine-mile meander – from south Brentwood all the way to Big Break Lagoon on the Delta in Oakley – is a convenient way to enjoy East County scenery. Who knows? You might even spot a great blue heron roaming the neighborhood.

Hi Mike and Stephanie,

Thank You so much for allowing me to work with you. I know that buying and selling a home has changed for you, from the past experiences you have had in buying a home, because of the current market condition, but I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to work with you, and it made selling your home extremely easy the way your home was staged and presented. I know that is why we were able to sell above the List Price, and I would recommend you to anyone to stage or consult in remodeling their home.

John D Kenney, CDPE, A-REO Prospective real estate clients,

Being close to retirement, my husband and I were faced with an important decision about what to do with our home that had lost significant value since we purchased it. Do we try to sell it at a loss, rent it out and wait to see if the market improves or walk away? It wasn’t until we worked with John Kenney of JDK Associates in Brentwood that the solutions started falling into place. With John’s guidance, we developed a course of action and decided to sell our home and purchase a new one with a smaller more manageable mortgage.

John and his team worked diligently in helping us acquire our new home through the challenging “Short Sale” process. His tenacity and experience in dealing with other agents and lenders proved that experience counts and that he was up to the challenge. John helped us over the finish line and into a much better situation for our future. He didn’t miss a beat and at the same time was able to sell our house before we closed on the new property in ONE WEEKEND, before it went to MLS, and above the asking price!!

John is a “winner” and an invaluable part of the success in our real estate transactions.

aNtiOChOn 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 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.

BreNtWOODOne 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 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.

OakleyThe 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,

East County Goes Way BackMore than 100 years ago, Native Americans called the East County area home. The Bay Miwok and Yokut Indi-

ans 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.

who pioneered what is now Brentwood). In 1897, Marsh arrived and foresaw that the area 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 1998.

DiSCOVery BayDiscovery 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 18-hole 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, 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 iSlaNDIn 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 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.

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 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 now-idle 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.

As “The Gateway to the Delta,” Antioch is a city filled with rich history and opportunities for

family fun.The recently-opened Antioch

Community Center on Lone Tree Way boasts state-of-the-art recreation facilities, as well as an indoor basketball and volleyball court, library annex and classrooms. Right next to the Community Center is the Prewett Family Water Park, where you can beat the heat locally.

While southern Antioch is where the city shines, Rivertown is the proud historical district. Strategically positioned on the banks of the San Joaquin River, downtown Antioch is home to several small businesses as well as the Antioch Senior Center and the historic El Campanil Theatre. El Campanil has hosted an impressive array of big-name acts, from Debbie Reynolds and Randy Newman to the Kingston Trio, and regularly plays classic movies.

Antioch is also a city where young minds are nurtured for success. The Antioch Unified School District, in addition to its traditional campuses, operates diverse facilities such as the Deer Valley Law Academy, Dozier-Libbey Medical High School and the Delta Academy for the Performing Arts.

But not just any type of sock. Students collected warm, durable, soldier-worthy socks for Socks for Soldiers. The socks were sent to Afghanistan, where Lone Tree Elementary administrative assistant Penny Plummer’s son, Lance Cpl. Chad Lewis Plummer, 21, was deployed on his first tour.

“He said it’s freezing at night,” Penny said. “He sleeps in three sleeping bags when he goes out on the missions and his feet are still freezing. That’s how cold it is out there!

Josie Monaghan, founder of Antioch-

based East County Military Families and Friends, which partnered with the Lone Tree Elementary effort, said some people are under the assumption that the government supplies the troops with basic necessities such as socks and other clothing and hygiene products, but those supplies are limited and soldiers must pay for replacements themselves.

“We take it for granted, but for a soldier, a fresh pair of socks is like gold,” Monaghan said. “Little things go a long way. Can you imagine being on a two-week mission and not getting the chance

to take off your shoes or socks because you have to be on the move and constantly be on guard? Soldiers’ feet get more of a workout than any other part of their body. And in the mountainous terrain of Afghanistan, one pair of socks isn’t going to last very long with all the wear and tear.”

Durable socks help protect troops from trench foot and athlete’s foot. “Their feet need to be healthy,” said Monaghan. “If their feet are taken care of and they are comfortable, they can better focus on their mission and their ultimate goal of coming home alive.”

Antioch keeps troops’ toes toasty

During the holidays, many schools host toy, food and coats drives, but in 2010, students at Lone Tree Elementary School in Antioch shopped for socks.

Brentwood’s downtown facelift nears completion

Until recently, Brentwood’s metamorphosis from a rural farming community of a few thousand souls into a modern suburb was marked by the rapidly changing landscape as subdivisions sprang up all over

town. In 2010, however, residents got their first glimpse at the city’s ultimate look in the steadily rising city hall, part of the $38 million civic center project designed to serve the city’s needs when final build-out to 75,000 residents occurs.

At the same time, work began on an $11 million downtown streetscape project aimed at helping the city’s downtown core thrive in the face of increased competition. The two projects, both of which should be completed in the second half of 2011, demonstrate the city’s commitment to downtown – the embodiment of the city’s historical charm. Ironically, much of the project was made possible by the poor economy, as contractors idled by the recession bid the project more than 36 percent below estimates.

The massive construction project was only one indication that Brentwood’s economy was faring better than many others. The city has a balanced budget and healthy reserve of 30 percent of its annual operating budget, plus a fully staffed and funded police department.

One place where construction won’t be starting any time soon is on the city’s southwest side. There, voters in 2010 defeated a proposal to extend the city’s boundaries and build up to 1,300 homes, 35 acres of commercial development and about 200 acres of parks, open space and public facilities.

Opened in 2008, The Streets of Brentwood Lifestyle Center continued to help fill city coffers with sales tax revenue. In the first quarter of 2010, the city enjoyed a 12 percent increase in sales tax collections compared to 2009, despite the economic doldrums. Comparatively, Contra Costa County as a whole saw sales tax fall off by 2.9 percent, while the state eked out a .52 percent increase.

Agriculture continues to play an important part in Brentwood. Its Ag Preservation Program continued to purchase development rights for farmland in the agricultural core, assuring that it will continue to be farmed in perpetuity. Funded by fees on new development that have virtually disappeared with the hiatus on home building, the program will now shift its focus to education and marketing efforts to support farmers until building resumes and more money is available for buying development rights.

Meanwhile, winemaking and organic farms, as well as the area’s famed U-Pick farms, continue to help the Brentwood area serve as the transition zone between the greater Bay Area to the west and the breadbasket of the Central Valley.

reflective of its heritage, guided by its vision, and ready to provide opportunities for all.

BrentwoodTo coincide with the City’s Mission Statement, “Bringing Brentwood’s Vision to Reality”, there are several major projects underway that will have a significant and positive impact on our Community: City of Brentwood Civic Center; Downtown Streetscape and the Brentwood Library Remodel and Relocation.

The CiviC CenTer draws its inspiration from the old Brentwood Hotel that was located at the corner of Oak and First Streets. The hotel was designed and built by Irving Gill in 1913.

BrenTwood LiBrary: This 5,000 + square foot library was moved from City park to its new home on Oak Street as a first step in building the Civic Center. The fabrics, finishes and walls sport vibrant, warm colors, creating a welcoming space to spend time. The library is also equipped with state of the art technology, including Internet access and closed circuit televisions. Once City Hall is built and occupied, the library will expand into the remainder of 118 – 120 Oak Street and will occupy the full 17,000 square feet.

CiTy Park: The new design of City Park provides a quality facility to the community. This includes: better lighting, landscape and hardscape improvements—planting of 102 new trees — new restrooms, a “gateway” at the corner of Oak and Second Streets, children’s play equipment and picnic areas with barbecues, new outdoor stage for performances, and arcades around the park that will provide shade and be used for events in the park.

CommuniTy CenTer: The 32,000 square foot Community Center will be two stories, and will house a large banquet room for 350+ seating, opening directly on to the park, a full caterer’s kitchen, multi-purpose rooms and public meeting rooms.

CiTy haLL, CiviC PLaza, CounCiL ChamBer and Parking STruCTure: A large public plaza with shade trees and a fountain will anchor the new 60,000 square foot City Hall and Council Chamber. A 280-space Parking Structure will accommodate the Civic Center and Downtown.

downTown BrenTwood STreeTSCaPe imProvemenT ProjeCT: The City has embarked on implementing a new streetscape design as part of the downtown revitalization efforts. The City is committed to enhancing the heart of our community and encouraging the establishment of a dining and boutique district. The first phase has started this fall.

It includes:• Wider sidewalks • Lights and planters• New street trees with tree lights • Entry Arch• New street furniture • Touchable Table Fountain

town of Discovery Bay

Once 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, family-based town of nearly 15,000 residents. Today, the unincorporated Live-Where-You-Play community boasts shopping centers, churches and top-notch schools, as well as two full-time resident deputies, a crime prevention specialist and a permanent sheriff’s annex.

A five-member elected Community Services District (CSD) board governs Discovery Bay, handling the town’s water, sewer and landscaping needs, and providing the county with recommendations regarding issues such as

commercial ventures, housing and police services.The Reclamation District 800 (Rec 800) is a special

district 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 allow residents to enjoy an abundance of watersports, including boating, windsurfing, paddle boarding, fishing and swimming. The town also offers excellent tennis facilities and a championship golf course, the Discovery Bay Country Club.

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.




The sky – and water – is the limit

Discovery Bay General Manager Rick Howard

shows off the town’s new water well, which will provide reserves in case of an emergency

or if another of the community’s

other wells require maintenance.

The merits and accomplishments of a town often go unnoticed. “I think it’s important that the community hear about all the positive things that are taking place,” said Discovery Bay General Manager Rick Howard. “And there are a lot.”

Take, for example, this year’s upgrading of the community’s landscaping department, the arrival of the town’s revised website, the approval by the Community Services District (CSD) board to create a new basketball court in Regatta Park, the installation of a new state-of-the-art water well and the development of a new 10-year master water and wastewater plan.

“It’s been a good year,” said Howard. “We’ve touched in some capacity nearly every aspect of Discovery Bay, and it will continue that way into the future. We have lots of things going on that will benefit everyone.

Heading into its 12th year of citihood, Oakley continues to widen the scope and enhance the quality of its culture. The City Council – “Team Oakley” – works hard to keep the community’s momentum forward, full throttle – and fun.

Oakley 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

35,000 residents boasts an abundance of parks and expanded recreational opportunities.

Among Oakley’s popular community events are the holiday tree lighting in the Civic Center Plaza, the Almond Festival, movies in the park and Oakley’s newest tradition, the Harvest Festival, held the week before Halloween.

In 2010, the Oakley City Council approved a Downtown Specific Plan, which lays the groundwork for the future overhaul of the downtown area. City officials envision a downtown that will provide a more innovative image for the community. The vision is to create a bustling downtown district filled with shops, restaurants and entertainment venues that will make the heart of Oakley a true destination.

Eriksen was named the city’s first Oakley Chamber of Commerce Officer of the Year. “It’s good to be a cop in Oakley,” said Ericksen. I love that every day I get to work with some of the best officers in the world. This is where I want to be, doing what I love.”

Morrison was honored for arresting 212 impaired drivers in 2009, which earned him acknowledgement from Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Councilmember Kevin Romick said Morrison was also the first on the scene to “diffuse a volatile situation” in his neighborhood last month, and Romick greatly appreciated the officer’s quick response and professionalism.

An unrelated “chaotic” incident earned Grubaugh

(pictured) acknowledgement from the city when he “demonstrated exceptional action” in the face of danger in apprehending and arresting two suspects committing a takeover armed robbery.Grubaugh’s actions earned him a Sheriff’s Commendation from Sheriff Warren Rupf for his courageous response.

Three of Oakley’s finest were honored by the City Council in 2010 for protecting the community through acts of honor, courage and commitment. Mayor Pat Anderson delivered proclamations to officers Sean Eriksen, Lance Morrison and Rick Grubaugh, recognizing them for their outstanding work on the Oakley police force.

town of ByronKnown for its healing hot springs, mud baths and luxurious hotel accommodations from the late 1800s to the 1930s, Byron Hot Springs kept a secret identity in the early 1940s. In 1942, the United States government bought the hotel and turned the palace of pleasure into an interrogation center for Japanese and German prisoners of war. It was known as Camp Tracy. A Japanese film crew came to the Byron facility to film ground and aerial shots for a documentary of the camp.

The 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) – comprising local residents – advises the supervisors on local land-use, planning and zoning issues, and also represents Byron on the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) on annexation and boundary issues.

Another area agency, Reclamation District 800 (Rec 800), is responsible for the maintenance and operation of levees in and around the Sacramento/San Joaquin Delta. A five-member board of directors elected by local landowners governs the district.

Byron’s irrigation water is managed by the Byron-Bethany Irrigation District. The district recently 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 finished the first phase of its $10 million expansion program last year, 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 l930s and was a destination for some of Hollywood’s brightest stars, including Clark Gable, who was known to enjoy the hotel’s healing waters, mud baths and luxurious accommodations. The spring’s current owners are planning to restore the spa to its former glamour.


“We realized there was a great need, and we knew that the existing food banks couldn’t handle everything,” said Randle. “We’re in the farming belt of the communities, and people need help and will continue to need help.”

The three women met as part of an outreach program – among Byron’s St. Anne Catholic, Discovery Bay’s Delta Community Presbyterian, and Byron United Methodist – aimed at synchronizing charity work in the neighboring communities. The churches pooled their resources, and the result was the Delta Christian Community Food Pantry.

“It’s going fantastic,” said Masterman. “Each week we’ve had a few more families come and now it’s just a matter of getting the word out. We’re so grateful for all the help from volunteers and the community. It’s been amazing.”

Those who arrive at the food pantry each Tuesday morning receive a bag filled with perishable and non-perishable food items such as dried beans, pasta, tuna and peanut butter. Included in the bags of groceries is spiritual information – in Spanish and English – along with housing information for homeless and low-income families.

“We want to find out what their situation is and help them any way we can,” said Masterman. “We’d also like to find a way to bring food to people who can’t get out and pick it up themselves. There’s a lot we want to do, but for now, we’re just concentrating on getting the word out and helping the most people we can.”

Oh, what a difference a year makes. When Deanna Masterman, Karen Randle and KC Cook came up with the idea for a faith-based community food pantry in 2009, the women had no idea how far their vision would take them.

Bethel Island is the most populous island in the 1,200-mile Delta waterway. Approximately 2,500

people call the waterfront community home.

The island draws big crowds for its annual ’50s Bash, Holiday Lighted Boat Parade, Opening Day on the Delta Boat Parade, International Society of Chili Cook-off, and a nationally televised fishing derby at Russo’s Marina. The island also boasts a championship 18-hole golf course and the San Joaquin Yacht Club. The rickety 61-year-old Bethel Island Bridge has been replaced with a $14 million structure designed to survive earthquakes and serve island residents and visitors for the next 50 years.

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.

Farming, which once played a significant role in the life of the Bethel Island community, has in the last few decades been superseded by the island’s recreational emphasis.

Knightsen

No stoplights interfere with the easy pace of Knightsen, where a smile, a wave and a handshake remain the rule, not the exception. Roughly 1,000 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 more horses than 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 in Northern California can be purchased at Smith Family Farms’ roadside stand; and Knightsen Honey Company is always buzzing with activity. In 2010, Knightsen got statewide attention for unusual animal life when a wayward sea lion found its way nearly two miles from the Delta to the streets of downtown.

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, renowned for the waiting lists generated by children from outside communities desiring to transfer in, opened its second school, Old River Elementary, in 2008. When the real estate market malaise halted the growth that the school had been built to accommodate, and put a severe pinch on district revenues, the school closed, returning the district to its single-school status. The news wasn’t all bad, though: In 2010, Knightsen Elementary became a California Distinguished School.

Knightsen’s interests have been looked after by a pair of citizen councils. The Knightsen Community Services District was established to manage flood control, while the Knightsen Town Advisory Council (KTAC) advised the County Board of Supervisors on issues from housing to roads to water rights. In 2010 the supervisors merged the two groups’ responsibilities, and disbanded KTAC.

By contemporary standards, Knightsen is a one-of-a-kind town. Impelled by the desire to retain the small-town virtues of independence and close-knit 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.

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.

Elementary SchoolsAs the state of California attempts to balance its budget by cutting funding to public schools, districts are

subject to such financial stress that not all school districts are able to build new schools to handle new population growth. An exception is the new Mary Casey Black Elementary School in Brentwood, under

construction since January of 2010 and slated to open in July of 2012. The school is named for the recently retired educator who served the Brentwood Union School District in a variety of capacities for 36 years. Mary Casey Black Elementary will be located at the intersection of Sand Creek Road and Garin Parkway.

Family participation and partnership in the educational process is seen by East County middle school educators as vital to students’ academic, social and emotional needs. Toward that end, Antioch middle schools have instituted a dress policy designed to counter the influence of fashion as a distraction from the ultimate goal of education. A policy

requiring uniforms is also intended to reduce gang color and dress affiliation, providing a safer environment for all students.

East County is home to many outstanding high schools providing a quality education to the area’s youth. While many schools in the area have been honored as Distinguished High Schools by the California Department of Education, this year Freedom High School in Oakley picked up an additional honor, as history teacher Frank Beede was named the 2010 NFL Teacher of

the Year, an award that recognizes former players who have gone on to make an impact in the classroom as professional teachers.

“Frank embodies what you want in a teacher, and he leads by example,” said Freedom Principal Erik Faulkner. “He’s an inspiration to us all. We’re so proud of him and grateful to have him at our school.” Beede, a former Seattle Seahawk, has taught at Freedom for three years. As part of the honor, the NFL donated $5,000 to Freedom High School.

East 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, to be located at the Pioneer Square site in Brentwood’s Vineyards at Marsh Creek subdivision, appears headed for construction in late summer of this year.

DirtbikingIf you feel the need for speed and don’t mind

getting a little dirty, take a spin at Sand Hill Ranch, located at 50 Camino Diablo Road in Brentwood, where you can ride around a Grand Prix Motocross track on a dirt bike just like the pros. Sand Hill also offers classes and clinics for experienced as well as novice riders. For more information, visit www.sandhillracing.com or call 240-6247.

County FairFor four days

every year, the Antioch Fairgrounds on 10th Street is transformed into a menagerie of rides, food, animals, entertainment, exhibits and fun for tens of thousands of kids of all ages at the Contra Costa County Fair. Last year’s event featured cowboy troupe Fables of the West, Skip Banks the Balloon Man, platinum rock artists Great White plus hip-hop legend MC Hammer, who brought his signature flair to the fair’s main stage.

History on DisplayThe Antioch Historical Society

Museum, located in the first high school building constructed in Contra Costa County, offers not only a comprehensive look back at the history of East County’s largest city, but boasts a rapidly expanding Sports Legends Hall of Fame. You’ll find it at 1500 W. Fourth St., and you can get more information at 757-1326.

Honor Those Who Gave AllThere’s

no shortage of appreciation in East County for those who’ve given the last full measure of devotion. Memorial Day ceremonies are held in Antioch at the Oak View Memorial Park on 18th Street, while in Brentwood, observances are held at Union Cemetery east of Brentwood on Highway 4.

27

Antioch SpeedwayIf you’re a fan of car racing, the place to be in summer

is the Antioch Speedway at the Antioch fairgrounds on 10th Street. Every Saturday you can watch – and hear – dirt modifieds, super stocks, hobby stocks, mini-trux, dwarf cars, wingless sprints, 4-bangers and 360-winged sprints roar, scream and spray dirt as they race around the oval track for cash and the thrill of victory.

25

Neighborhood ParksEast County folk short on the time required to enjoy

our regional wildernesses are never far from a municipal park. And for years, construction contracts mandating the creation of neighborhood parks have resulted in a wealth of places for kids and adults alike to play, barbecue or just lounge for a while in the fresh air and sunshine. For a detailed rundown of those havens of leisure, go to page 61 of the Parks section of this guide.

East County boasts a treasure trove of parks, from cozy

playgrounds nestled in the heart of town to expansive and interconnected regional parks.

A 10-minute drive from downtown Brentwood, Round Valley Regional Preserve provides more than 2,000 acres of hiking, from panoramic vistas to intimate wooded canyons. It’s a popular destination for equestrians as well as wildflower enthusiasts.

Adjoining Round Valley

are two other magnificent parks: Los Vaqueros and Morgan Territory.

Los Vaqueros Watershed, owned and operated by the Contra Costa Water District, will undergo a historic transformation this year, as construction begins on a $120 million expansion project that will raise the existing dam’s height by 34 feet, increasing the reservoir’s capacity from 100,000 to 160,000 acre-feet. The project is expected to be finished in 2012.

Los Vaqueros’ 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 Trail sideswipes Round Valley, swings north and bisects Brentwood, flows through Oakley and spills into the San Joaquin River at Big Break. A Science Center at Big Break is under construction. The nine-mile route from Concord Avenue in Brentwood all the way to Big Break in Oakley is fully paved – a feature on which East County hikers, cyclists, dog-walkers and baby strollers fully capitalize.

Creek Trail will eventually extend south through Cowell Ranch and a future state historic park, all the way to Round Valley.

West of Big Break, in neighboring Antioch, is another jewel of the East Bay Regional Park District: Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve, where tours of the mines of yesteryear provide a history lesson you can reach out and touch. Black Diamond’s 65 miles of trails also afford some of the most challenging terrain and gratifying scenery in the area – not the least of which is a close-up view of the craggy grandeur of the East Bay’s iconic Mt. Diablo.

Mt. Diablo State Park, a mere 25-minute drive from downtown Brentwood, has it all: hiking in elevations approaching 4,000 feet, horseback riding, camping, and on the summit, an incomparable view of Northern California, from Mt. Lassen in the north to Mt. Whitney in the south, from the Farallon Islands off the coast to Yosemite in the east.

And speaking of outdoor adventure, most Bay Area recreation guides tell you that a drive to Yosemite or Tahoe will take you at least four hours. From East County, it’s three – tops.

For information on Round Valley, Morgan Territory, Marsh Creek, Big Break and Black Diamond Mines, call the East Bay Regional Park District at 925-757-2620 or, for tour reservations, 510-562-7275.

East 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 with 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:

Discovery Bay Yacht Harbor is the most prestigious address on the Delta. The harbor is less than a mile from fast water and the best water skiing and wakeboarding anywhere. Larger boats enjoy the wide sloughs and quiet water of the surrounding Delta. Kayak or sail silently amongst beautiful homes. Fishing, both in and out of the bay, is unsurpassed.

This well groomed harbor can be both your destination and your home.

array of fun on terra firma. From the far-ranging outdoor recreation of horse riding to the indoor challenges of martial arts, from youth football leagues to swim clubs, East County folk can choose from a vast menu of

appetizing activities that get them out of the house and into the competitive arena. And the area’s many community centers provide a setting for folks to meet new people and learn new skills, take in a show or hold a family reunion.

AgricultureEnjoy the bounty of East County

With 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 – if you know where to look.

The Pacific Coast Farmers’ Market Association certifies annual farmers’

markets in Antioch and Brentwood. Antioch welcomed its second farmers’ market last year. The Somersville Towne Center Farmers’ Market, located in the Towne Center parking lot off of Somersville Road, is open on Sundays June through November, making it the market that’s open latest in the year in East County.

The Kaiser Permanente Antioch Farmers’ Market, held at 4501 Sand Creek Road on Thursdays, kicks off the season in April. The downtown Brentwood

Farmers’ Market opens within a week or two of the Kaiser market, and draws hundreds of produce patrons every Saturday during the season. 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 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, 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 is taking advantage of this recent development and now holds wine tastings Wednesdays through Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. 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 a local shop such as McCauley Brothers Olive 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.

Second to none among the responsibilities of a community to its members is providing good health care. East County is blessed with strategically located hospitals and clinics – led by health

care organizations such as John Muir, Kaiser Permanente and Sutter Delta – as well as an abundance of private physicians’ practices, from allergists to acupuncturists; pediatricians to podiatrists. The interdependence of health and lifestyle is also recognized in the area’s many fitness clubs and sports medicine centers.

Waterskiing and WakeboardingThe Delta’s more than 1,200 miles of inland

waterways provide skiers and wakeboarders of all skill levels with plenty of options for fast-paced play. And for those who prefer to enjoy their water sports from the comfort of the shoreline, local water shows featuring amateur, professional and world-record skiers are popular annual events, all of which combine to make the family-friendly Delta the destination location for all things wet.

Delta Blues FestivalIf the end of summer has got you down, don’t

worry. Pack up your folding chairs and blankets and head out to Waldie Plaza in Antioch for the Delta Blues Festival. The annual concert is traditionally held in September and features some of the best blues musicians in the business. Plus, this alcohol-free event is perfect fun for the entire family. So get up, dance and shake those blues away.

PAL Skate CompetitionIf you know some awesome tricks or just enjoy watching

skateboarders show off their skills, the Brentwood Police Activities League-sponsored competition is the place to be. Each fall, PAL hosts the event at the Brentwood Skate Park, where competitors in seven age divisions compete for cash prizes. All money raised during the event goes to support PAL’s youth programs.

Visit the PastThe East Contra Costa Historical Society’s

Byer-Nail House Museum is the repository of the rich history of Brentwood, Oakley, Discovery Bay, Byron, Knightsen and Bethel Island, and if you think covering so many communities would mean there’s a lot to see, you’re right. The museum is located at 3890 Sellers Ave. in Brentwood, and you can call 634-8651 to check hours of operation.

Black Diamond Mines TourJourney into a fascinating

past deep in the earth on a guided tour of Black Diamond’s Hazel-Atlas Mine, prized for its silica sand and active from the 1920s through ’40s.

Play still a Brentwood priority

For the third consecutive year, Brentwood captured national attention by being named a 2010 Playful City by the non-profit group KaBOOM!

The program honors cities that prioritize play and ensure that children are healthy by providing the time and space for play. Of the 118 cities nationwide to earn the des-ignation, San Francisco and Redwood City are the only others in Northern California.

Brentwood marked the occasion in September with a free Playbor Day, so dubbed in honor of the Labor Day holiday on which it was held. Held at Veterans Park, the event included a scavenger hunt, balloon tosses, bubble-making, hula hoops and good old-fashioned running around. Later the same day, the city observed the 10th anniversary of another playful venue: the Brentwood Family Aquatic Center.

“This is our joy,” said Park and Recreation Department Director Craig Bronzan. “Just thinking of all the facilities we’ve built, and then seeing the community use them, and then having an outside agency recog-nize what we do – it doesn’t get any better than that.”

Mayor Bob Taylor expressed pride that Brent-wood sets a good example. “Other communities across the country will now look to Brentwood as a role model,” he said. “I take a tremendous amount of pride in knowing that what we’re doing here in Brentwood will improve the lives of not only our children, but children elsewhere.”

Each of the 2010 Play-ful City USA communities demonstrated creative com-mitments to the cause of play, KaBOOM! CEO and co-founder Darell Ham-mond wrote in a press release announcing the award: “A primary goal of Playful City USA is to encourage cities and towns to share creative ideas, concepts and programs in an effort to increase play oppor-tunities for children. Brent-wood offers the community a unique opportunity with its Wellness Policy, a community-wide aspirational goal that promotes physical activity and education as the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle.”

Wine CelebrationsOne way our East County community marks the

passage of the seasons is by celebrating the fruit of the vine. At Hannah Nicole Vineyards in Brentwood, this means the annual Barrel Tasting and Grape Stomp events. In April, wine enthusiasts can get a sneak peek of the new vintage at the Barrel Tasting. In September, it’s time to roll up the pant cuffs and join the ancient ritual of crushing the grapes by foot, and witness a blessing of the harvest by a local clergy member.

Mitchell Canyon in AutumnMt. Diablo’s Mitchell Canyon affords East

County folk the loveliest autumn walk in the area. Mitchell Creek cuts the canyon and feeds a variety of colorful foliage, from the scarlets of wild grape to the saffrons of bigleaf maple. The trail that snakes through the canyon, Mitchell Canyon Road, is also one of Diablo’s easiest tracks – nearly dead level for the first two miles. To get to Mitchell Canyon, take Marsh Creek Road west into Clayton and turn left on Mitchell Canyon Road. Where the road ends is where autumn begins.

BowlingBowling is big in East County, home to a variety

of recreational leagues and national tournaments. Serious competitors and casual players alike will be bowled over by the facilities at Delta Bowl in Antioch and Harvest Park Bowl in Brentwood, where they can enjoy a game of pins with family and friends. And don’t forget to bring the little ones for a game or two of bumper bowling. For additional information, call Delta Bowl at 757-5424 and Harvest Park Bowl at 516-1221.

Oakley Almond FestivalYears ago, James O’Hara planted acres of almond

trees in what is now known as O’Hara Park. In honor of his contribution to Oakley’s heritage, the city gathers every September for the Oakley Almond Festival. The three-day event, sponsored by the Oakley Chamber of Commerce, features a carnival, car show, parade, cook-off and much more. Join mascot Ben Toasted this fall as the festival celebrates its 22nd year of family fun.

Plein AireFor the past five years,

Antioch’s Lynn House Gallery has been inviting the public to watch artists create paintings in plein air, taking advantage of outdoor daylight in the city’s quaint, historic Rivertown district on a Saturday afternoon. Cash prizes are awarded for the best pieces created that day. The paint-out is open to all artists but limited to 35.

46 Take in a MovieA trio of East County movie houses offers cinema

in dramatically different venues. The Delta Cinema (641 First St. in Brentwood, 240-7335) is an 80-year-old, Art Deco theater dripping with charm and featuring first-run movies; Regal Cinema (4200 Lone Tree Way in Antioch, 757-2111) offers 16 screens in a classic multiplex setting; and the 14-screen Rave Motion Pictures (2525 Sand Creek Road in Brentwood, 809-0030) is one of the few all-digital, super-wide screen venues in the state.

East 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 Highway 4 Bypass is cutting commute time by significant degrees; the Vasco Road Safety Improvements Project has made that gauntlet less hazardous to run; the Highway 4 widening project in Antioch is underway; and an eBART line is planned to run from the Bay Point BART to Antioch’s Hillcrest Avenue.

Corvette Clubrevved up toserve communityA row of Corvettes glimmered in the sun at

a show in August of 2010 attended by the Discovery Bay Corvette Club. About two dozen

of the ’Vettes were on hand to glimmer up the year’s final Downtown Thursday event on First Street in Brentwood.

Mayor Bob Taylor was on hand, allowing visitors a chance to either tell him he’s all wet or get him that way – hizzoner braved the dunk tank, raising money for the Brentwood Rotary.

At the Discovery Bay Corvette Club’s annual Christmas Party, instead of exchanging gifts among themselves, each family brought two gifts to support Delta Community Services’ effort to aid needy children.

Kathy Doty, center, the Discovery Bay Corvette Club’s official Sunshine Person, was delighted to present La Paloma High School Principal Larry Rodriguez and Program Administrator Jacque Green a check for scholarship money to assist a La Paloma graduate.

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.

Decorated HomesPlenty of communities

decorate for the holidays, but East County neighborhoods go the extra mile. The Brentwood Neighborhood Advisory Committee celebrates in style with its well-attended Halloween and Christmas outside home-decorating contests. The holidays are also a big deal in Discovery Bay, where local homeowners associations and charitable organizations get into the spirit of the seasons with spooky decorating and holiday lights competitions. Year-round home-of-the-month honors for the most meticulously manicured front yards are also popular in Brentwood’s 1,000-acre Summerset community and the Discovery Bay Property Homeowners Association.

Golf N GamesWhat do paintball, rock walls, go-karts,

batting cages, billiards, miniature golf and video games have in common? The answer: Golf N Games, East County’s one-stop fun spot. Located at 501 Auto Center Drive in Antioch, this mecca of amusement offers an array of packages for groups large and small, from birthday celebrations to pirate and princess parties. For details, call 754-5100. Discovery Bay

pop-culture craze that draws battalions of enthusiasts each year to Antioch’s popular Paintball Park. Fans of the ultimate adventure game take on the bad guys for birthday parties, recreational leagues and even corporate retreats. So suit up, grab your gear and prepare for the ultimate game of tag. The Antioch

Paintball Park is located at 1201 W. 10th St. at the Antioch Fairgrounds. For prices and

times, call 757-2468.

Christmas Tree LightingThe cities of Brentwood and Oakley help

build holiday spirit each year with tree-lighting ceremonies. The events feature caroling, hot cocoa, a visit from Santa and, of course, a countdown to the flipping of the switch that lights up the night as well as children’s eyes. Check with the Brentwood (634-3344) or Oakley (625-1035) chambers of commerce for the dates.
