LEADERSHIP: Interim City Manager
Randall Bradley listens to a resident
during the Oct. 3 City Council meeting.
Interim
manager

By Michael Ellis Langley
Tracy Press
Interim City Manager Randall
Bradley is a man with a plan —
and even if it sometimes bothers
him, he’s not listening to the gos-
sip and innuendo surrounding his
elevation from fire chief to leader
of the city organization.
Bradley had just finished the
latest City Council meeting on
Tuesday when he sat down with
the Tracy Press in his office at
City Hall. It was his second council
meeting since the firing of for-
mer City Manager Troy Brown on
Sept. 19.
“For me it’s a great challenge
and I want to make a difference in
this great community. I know that
sounds so Pollyanna, but that’s
from my heart,” Bradley said.
Bradley was first told that the
council had requested his ser-
vice during one of the tougher
moments in his life.
“I was really asked to do this
officially at my father’s funeral,”
he said of the day after Brown was
dismissed. “I did receive two or
three phone calls from the mayor
after midnight, and I missed
those phone calls. I had kind of
an exhausting day getting ready

New patrol officers bring force to 85

Press staff report
Tracy Police Department
recently added four new offi-
cers to the patrol force, bring-
ing the total number of sworn
officers to 85.
Chief Larry Esquivel wel-
comed officers Christopher
Evola, Joshua Petitt, Jose Silva
and Mario Ysit to the depart-
ment in a swearing-in ceremony
Oct. 12 at Tracy City Hall.
“What I kind of expect just
in general from you is really
just integrity, courage, com-
mitment, compassion, respect
— not only for this organiza-
tion but for yourselves and this
community,” Esquivel said.
The officers all moved from
other law enforcement agen-
cies to the Tracy department.
“The reality is all four of you
bring some energy here —
really something unique and
special for us,” Esquivel said.
“In different ways, but all focus
EVOLA PETITT
and prioritizing on making our
community a safer and bet-
ter place. So you are joining
our team and our community
SILVA
and making that difference so
thank you.”
Evola came from the BART
police department in August
with 10 years of law enforce-
ment experience. He has been
a patrol officer and a member
of crime suppression and plain-
clothes enforcement teams.
In 2013, he received a Case of
the Year award for solving a
robbery case involving more
than 20 victims in four different
YSIT jurisdictions.

an exhausting day get-
ting ready for the funer-
al. I knew something was
up and I tried to call the
mayor back when I woke
up in the morning and saw
the missed phone calls.”
Bradley said Mayor
Robert Rickman attend-
ed his father’s service and
then took him aside after
it had concluded.
Rumors began almost
immediately, with some
people publicly ques-
tioning everything from
Bradley’s readiness
for the city’s top job to
whether the position was
a reward for promot-
ing Division Chief Pat
Vargas, who serves under
Bradley at the Tracy Fire
Department and is the
husband of Mayor Pro
Tem Veronica Vargas.
“I guess at some level it
does bother me,” Bradley
said of the quid pro quo
insinuation. “When I
arrived here, Pat Vargas
was an acting division
chief. Because of the
overtime and because of
everything else, he’s the
only one that would volun-
teer to do it. At the same
time, he was already fin-
ished with his bachelor’s
degree and he’s working
on his master’s degree. …
So yeah, first we have bat-
talion chiefs and he got a
battalion chief’s job, and
right after he got the bat-
talion chief’s job, a division
chief left. He was number
one on the division chief’s
list, so it was just a natural
progression.”
But the fact that some-
one made that accusa-
tion at a televised coun-
cil meeting Tuesday isn’t
easy to swallow.
“People are filling
blanks and coming up
with stories that aren’t
even true. And that’s dis-
appointing,” Bradley said.
Rumors began flying
faster with word that
Assistant City Manager
“Yeah, the council
can be a little
dysfunctional at
times, but I think,
truly, I think all five
of them are really,
really good people
with really, really
good intentions.”
— Randall Bradley
Interim city manager
Stephanie Garrabrant-
Sierra hadn’t been to City
Hall since Oct. 16. About
Garrabrant-Sierra,
Bradley would only say
that as of Tuesday, she
was still employed by the
city and was “on leave.”
When asked when or if
she would return to work,
Bradley said personnel
matters are confidential.
But the most baffling
part for Bradley is the ques-
tioning of his experience.
“I don’t know if it
was hurtful or just frus-
trating. You know what
I mean? I’ve never had
anyone question my qual-
ifications before,” said
Bradley, who holds a mas-
ter’s degree in public poli-
cy and public administra-
tion. “Some of it’s polit-
ical. Some of it’s people
just don’t know me.”
Bradley talked about the
similar-sized organizations
he has run before. He man-
aged a $20 million budget
as the chief of the Moraga-
Orinda Fire District.
“I was the chief execu-
tive officer. I reported to
the board. I had an HR
department, I had a finance
department. So I ran that
whole thing,” he recalled.
As Modesto’s fire
chief, he worked with a
$27 million budget, and
he recalls handling $100
million in the final year
of his time leading the
joint Alameda County
and Lawrence Livermore
Lab department.
“I think it comes from
people being disappointed,”
Bradley said of what might
be driving the criticism.
“First of all, there’s a divide
on the council. We get that.”
But he said the political
climate of Tracy’s govern-
ing body didn’t worry him.
“While you get a lit-
tle concern about what’s
going on at the council
level and the disagree-
ments and personal stuff,
you just have to take
one step back and look
at what we’ve got here,”
Bradley said. “Yeah, the
council can be a little dys-
functional at times, but I
think, truly, I think all five
of them are really, really
good people with really,
really good intentions.”
Bradley said his eye
was firmly fixed on some
important city issues.
“Some of the big issues,
they can’t wait. We’re
probably not going to
see a new city manager
here until March, April,
maybe even May. There
are things that just have
to be done,” he said.
Bradley said the city
was facing deadlines to
craft laws governing can-
nabis, labor negotiations
with all five city unions,
and expansion of the city’s
recycled water system
throughout the city and
what to do with the water
surplus it will create.
“We absolutely do
believe there’s a mar-
ket,” he said. “We’ve been
contacted by several dif-
ferent agencies that are
interested in that water.
In purchasing future con-
tracts for the water.”
But Bradley said one
other issue looms large
for the city — a new gov-
ernance model for the
interconnected Tracy
Fire Department, Tracy
Rural Fire Protection
District and South County
Fire Authority. If merging
those entities is not done

Bus service leaves some destinations inaccessible to seniors
By Michael Ellis Langley
Tracy Press
Tracy’s bus service
leaves something to be
desired for seniors and
college students. That’s
the feedback given to
the City Council during
a Tuesday public hearing
on unmet transportation
needs.
The hearing was part
of the regular meeting of
the council and includ-
ed a plea from Cindy
Gustafson, the council-ap-
pointed representative to
the San Joaquin County
Commission on Aging.
“Larch-Clover
Community Center does
not receive bus service
out to it,” Gustafson said.
“Lolly Hansen Senior
Center is filled to capac-
ity on Mondays and
Wednesdays, often turn-
ing seniors away because
they run out of congre-
gate hot meals. Larch
Clover has congregate
hot meals on Mondays
and Wednesdays, but
seniors cannot get there.
Currently the bus stops at
the end of Larch, at Tracy
Boulevard. Seniors that
would like to receive the
brown bag of emergency
food would have to walk
to pick up food and walk
back to catch the bus.”
That round-trip walk
from the bus stop to the
community center at
11157 W. Larch Road is
about one mile.
“There is a tremendous
need for our seniors to
attend some of the activ-
ities and, of course, to
receive services from
the county eligibility
worker that comes on
Wednesdays, that can
assist with enrollment in
Medi-Cal and other pro-
grams, saving them a trip
to Stockton,” she added.
Councilwoman Nancy
Young added that there
are many churches on
Larch Road that provide
services for residents and
cannot be reached easily
by bus.
Planning Commissioner
Robert Tanner also sug-
gested adding Sunday
bus service, which would
help people reach church-
es and shopping centers.
Almost two dozen peo-
ple had also requested
Sunday service at anoth-
er hearing on unmet
transportation needs
earlier in the day at the
Tracy Transit Station.
Councilwoman Juana
Dement asked Ed Lovell,

if he knew where people
needed to go.
“We have had a lot of
comments of just gener-
al service, because we
do have people that still
need to get to work at
the mall and other stores
that are open on Sunday,
but we have had a lot
of people that request
trips to church,” Lovell
responded.
Mayor Robert Rickman
identified another issue
facing a growing number
of Tracy young people and
shared some insight from
the San Joaquin County
Council of Governments.
“They are right now
looking at a study on
the feasibility of bus ser-
vice from Tracy to San
Joaquin Delta College,”
Rickman said. “As Tracy
grows and the popula-
tion grows, the ridership
should grow. It’s some-
thing we’re looking into
and hopefully we can get
that service back.”
Abandoned restaurant
The boarded-up for-
mer Long John Silver’s
restaurant at the corner
of Tracy Boulevard and
Clover Road was brought
up again — but there
seemed no quick solution
to clean it up.
The building was left
empty in 2007, and the
City Council has often
stated that the blighted
look of the building is
retarding businesses in
the area and hurting a
busy city entrance.
Development Services
Director Andrew Malik
told the council that it
appears the landown-
er, a New York property
investment firm, has little
interest in filling the space
with another business.
“What the owner’s rep-
resentative indicated to
us was that there’s long-
term lease issues between
either Long John Silver’s

and the now-property
owner,” Malik said, say-
ing the earliest the issue
might be resolved was
September 2019.
Code Enforcement
Manager Ana Contreras
said that the city has
written 24 code enforce-
ment violations since
2007 and recorded 19
calls for police service.
But, she added, the owner
has fixed the violations
every time.
Contreras said that city

MOUNTAIN HOUSE
CONTINUED FROM COVER
The California Assessment
of Student Performance and
Progress has been adminis-
tered in the spring to third-
through eighth-graders for the
past three years and 11th-grad-
ers at Mountain House High
for two years, starting with its
first junior class.
“It was a new type of test
and it kind of matches the
new way that we’re learning in
these schools,” said Mountain
House High senior Sangeetha
Bharath, who achieved perfect
scores in both the math and
English tests as a junior this
spring. “I was actually really
proud of my school and really
proud of the students. I know
that everyone’s been working
hard and trying to keep up
with the kind of unique learn-
ing style, so to see people are
performing well is really great.”
During the recognition cer-
emony Wednesday night, 20
students were recognized for
receiving perfect scores on
both parts of the test, 40 stu-
dents for achieving perfection
in English and18 students for
having perfect scores in math.
Each was presented with a
medal and a certificate from
the district.
Assistant Superintendent
H e at h e r S h e rb u r n
said  Monday  afternoon that
the high test scores tell the
administrators that the learn-
ing process used at LUSD
schools is working.
“It tells us that hard work,
between the work the teach-
ers are doing, the parents, the
leadership of the administra-
tors at the sites and the pro-
fessional development that we
are investing with our teach-
ers, is all coming together and
benefiting students,” she said.
“It’s exciting. We’re headed in
the right direction.”
Sixth-grader Sanskridi

on the math and English tests
as a fifth-grader, was sur-
“We don’t have 100
percent proficient yet.
We want to keep mak-
ing sure we do better.”
— Heather Sherburn
LUSD assistant superintendent
prised to see so many other
students with perfect scores
at Wednesday’s meeting. She
said that she worked hard for
the accomplishment, working
closely with her teachers last
school year and completing the
CAASPP assignments multiple
times on the testing website.
“It was pretty hard, but
practice pays off,” she said.
“I practiced a lot. Last year
I wanted to get both perfect
scores — I really wanted to do
that this year. So I tried really
hard. Last year I got a perfect
score in math and this year I
got both. It feels really good,”
According to Sherburn, 57
percent of LUSD students met
or exceeded the state’s math
standards and 67 percent did
the same in English language
arts. At the county level, only
28 percent of students met
or exceeded the standards in
math and 39 percent did so in
English.
She said the secret to their
success is multifaceted: offer-
ing teachers extensive train-
ing, having strong parental
involvement and providing all
students with computers to
use as daily learning tools.
“I attribute it to the amount
of professional development
that we’ve given to our teach-
ers and our administrators,
our principals’ abilities to step
up and take on that learning,”
Sherburn said. “To do the hard
work that needs to be done —
implement and new curricu-
lum and learn new strategies.
“We make sure that we
understand the expectations
in the new standards,” she
added. “Really trying to make
sure that we are doing our
best to align to resources that
are available. We saw good
gains in most grade levels.”
TRACY CONTINUED FROM COVER
2 percent better than the San
Joaquin County average. Local
proficiency in math remained
the same as last year — 28 per-
cent, which is on par with the
county and 10 percent behind
the state.
“I didn’t really see any dra-
matic changes,” said Carol
Anderson-Woo, director of
curriculum, accountability and
continuous improvement, in her
office on Tuesday afternoon.
“Teachers are dealing with
a lot of new stuff at one time,”
she said. “Sometimes you have

trying to build that foundation

less language, and language is
the key to everything.”
She said children with a lim-
ited vocabulary and less devel-
oped syntax tend to struggle
more in every content area
of the statewide test — even
math, which is presented as
word problems and no longer
just pages of numbers.
“Tracy is no different than
many districts across the state,”
she said. “It’s just challenges we
deal with. We’re always going to
have kids that struggle — we
always have. It’s not new. We
have to try to figure out what
else we can do to help them.
To get them up to grade level,
that’s always the goal.”
According to the results pre-
sented to the board on Oct. 10,
the majority of schools across
Tracy Unified School District
saw a slight improvement in
the percentage of students who
met or exceeded the state’s
standards in both English
and math. Poet-Christian and
Kelly schools both saw dra-
matic increases in English and
math proficiency among third-
through eighth-graders.
But at the high school level,
West High’s scores plunged
compared with the year before.
Anderson-Woo said West’s
11th-grade class went from 60
percent to not quite 40 per-
cent proficient in English and
slipped from 27 percent to 20
percent proficient in math.
“West is the only one who
had a huge (change),” she said.
“Everybody else went up a lit-
tle bit at least. I don’t know
what the answer is, and we
don’t get detailed data. It’s a
tough one to figure out. It’s not
a perfect science.”
To get the proficiency num-
bers up, she said the district
plans to stay focused on the
standards and continue to help
teachers and students develop
a better understanding of what
the standards mean and what
students have to be able to do to
demonstrate their proficiency.
 “We’re on the right path,” she
said. “I’m not worried. I would
love to wave my magic wand
and be there now. When you
look at patterns of the county
and the state, we’re in the ball-
park with them.
“We’ve got work to do — we
certainly have areas to improve,
as does everybody else in
California. We’ve got such fab-
ulous teachers, and they real-
ly want kids to succeed. They
work really hard at it, but it’s a
huge job to figure this out.”

Post office problems
EDITOR,
What is going on with our
local Post Office? We live in
North East Tracy and some-
times do not get our mail
delivered until late in the
evening. Sometimes  7-7:30
p.m.  and a couple of times
after dark. Rarely do we
have the same delivery per-
son. Always someone new,
and often someone who isn’t
wearing a postal uniform.
Recently I purchased stamps
and applied them to post 138
label-addressed postcards. I
mailed them through the slot
inside the post office. These
were printed postcards
inviting the addressees to
an open house for the Tracy
Community Connections
Center new office. To my dis-
may not one of those post-
cards were delivered. When
a friend called the post office
to inquire about the error
no valid explanation was
provided. Nor was there an
investigation conducted to
provide an explanation of
what happened. When post-
age is purchased and applied,
doesn’t the post office have
an obligation to deliver that
mail? Prior to posting the
postcards I showed one of
the postcards to the counter
clerk to determine the cost
of the applicable stamp. They
then sold me the stamps of
the appropriate denomina-
tion, which I applied to the
postcards. The addressees of
the postcards were in differ-
ent parts of Tracy, a few to
Manteca, Discovery Bay and
Livermore-Pleasanton area.
Yet not one was delivered.
What gives?
Sue Miller, Tracy
Mind your manners
EDITOR,
I was at the Safeway gas
station earlier last week. My
receipt didn’t print, so I start-
ed walking toward the booth.
This lady started pulling in
toward the empty spot on the
other side that I was walk-
ing through. She kept coming
and I’d stop, looking at her
for eye contact: No. 1 to see if
she was stopping and No. 2 as
if to say, “You do know that I
was walking here, way before
your 3,000-pound car was
anywhere near here. Right?
So I have the right of way?!”
I’d take another step as she’d
hesitate, and then she’d start
pulling over again as if I was
supposed to stop walking for
her to roll right into me. She
did this three times, even
though I was walking out
before she ever started jock-
eying over. Manners these
days are severely lacking, and
it’s only getting worse.
I wrote in  only two weeks
ago about drivers blowing
through crosswalks during
morning school hours —
driving 40 mph through what
should have been a 25 mph
zone. What’s with these peo-
ple, thinking they own the
road?! Pedestrians being hit
by 3,000-4,000-pound cars
don’t fare well. My next-door
neighbor was hit by a car in
a West 11th Street  crosswalk
when she was about 12 or 13
years old. She went flying 50
feet and was unconscious and
life-flighted to Modesto.
When a pedestrian is in a
parking lot or a crosswalk,
you MUST stop and let
them walk. I nearly got hit in
January, falling onto a curb as
a parent in a school parking
lot was getting closer, and
closer. She wasn’t looking
where she was headed — as
she was looking at her child.
Parents speed through school
lots all the time — with my
most recent near miss a cou-
ple of weeks ago. Please be
aware that pedestrians have
the right of way.
Deborah Littleton, Tracy
Trump and transgender
EDITOR,
In a 25 August 2017 memo,
President Trump banned
transgender individuals
from joining the military.
This effectively overturned
Obama’s June 2016 authori-
zation allowing transgender
individuals to openly serve
and allowing current service
members to receive hormone
therapy as well as gender
reassignment surgery. The
memo cites the Obama
administration did not have
sufficient basis to terminate
the Department of Defense
and Department of Homeland
Security’s long-standing dis-
criminatory policy against
the transgender population.
It further stipulates that the
policy hinders military effec-
tiveness and lethality, unit
cohesion, and taxes military
resources; necessitating a
study to ensure that the poli-
cy implementation would not
have these negative effects.
Instead of consulting with
military leaders, our current
President decided to prevent
the estimated 2,500 active
duty and 1,500 reserve trans-
gender service members
from continuing therapies
that have been started. Some
of these service members
honorably served this coun-
try on multiple tours of duty,
a feat that Trump refused
to attempt as is evident in
his five Vietnam war draft
deferments.
Our dedication to the
troops should consist of more
than thanking them for their
service. If we truly are appre-
ciative, should we not show
our respect by allowing all
service members to openly
live their life as they see fit?
So, you ask, why do we have
to pay for their hormone
treatment and surgical pro-
cedures? If that’s a problem,
then why is it OK for the
military to spend 10 times as
much on erectile dysfunction
medications as on transgen-
der medications?
I applaud the actions of
Senator Gillibrand (D-NY),
the sponsor of Senate Bill S.
1820, that provides for the
retention of the service of
transgender members in the
armed forces. I suggest you
honor the troops by contact-
ing your senator to ensure
they vote in the affirmative
for the bill.
Vicki Stokes, Tracy
City neglects side streets
EDITOR,
I’m writing this letter in
regard to the streets in the
old part of Tracy which I
believe was the original town
of Tracy.
Sidewalks and streets
in those areas are disgust-
ing and it is evident many of
those streets have not been
repaired for years — start
at Adam Street next to the
Tracy Press office, it is hor-
rible and yet it is not as bad
as some of the streets in the
area, Highland, 12th and on
and on. Homeowners in that
area pay taxes too yet they
are being neglected. There
are probably hundreds of
streets in bad shape and side-
walks also.
I do not live in that area but
I have friends that do and I
feel bad that they have to put
up with streets like that. I’m
sure a lot of tires are dam-
aged on those streets.
The city repairs main streets
and neglects side streets.
The city is spending mil-
lions right now on Corral
Hollow, has spent million on
projects for some time and
are planning to spend mil-
lions on a water park and
I’m sure there are more
coming up.
Come on, City of Tracy, take
care of your responsibilities.
Mr. Mayor and city officials,
ride around in these areas
and ask yourself, “Would I
want to drive on these streets
every day?” I’m sure your
answer would be “No.”
This is a shame and a slap
in the face to the residents in
those areas.
I hope this letter will help
in some way to wake up
someone at the City Hall.

Light rail planners have a lot to do in 20 months
G
ov. Jerry Brown has signed
Assembly Bill 758, creating the
regional rail authority that would
construct and operate a proposed light
rail system connecting ACE to BART
and also attacking growing traffic con-
gestion on the Altamont Pass.
Before what is called
the Tri-Valley-San
Joaquin Valley Rail
Authority can devel-
op final plans and a
feasibility study in 20
months, however, any
number of concepts
TRACING need to be defined and
TRACY decisions made.
TERRITORY One of those deci-
SAM MATTHEWS sions that was dis-
cussed last week at
Tracy City Hall during
a meeting of the bi-county committee
behind the light rail plan is where the
light rail stations will be located.
The original map outlining the basic
scope of the project earmarked two sta-
tions in the Livermore Valley and only
one, labeled “West Tracy,” in this area.
The concept map of the project area
showed the two Livermore Valley sta-
tions at Isabel Avenue on the west side
of Livermore and Greenville Road on
the east side, where a BART-ACE con-
nection could be made.
Whether BART will be extended

During the discussions of the stations
Fry’s
at last week’s meeting, Tracy Mayor
Pro Tem Veronica Vargas said the con-
cept document, while a long way from
being the final plan, should at the very
least indicate there will be up to three
stations in the Tracy area.
Vargas’ concern, acknowledged by
the committee’s chairman, Alameda
County Supervisor Scott Haggerty,
resulted in the committee agreeing
to show up to two stations in the
Livermore area and at least three on
this side of the Altamont.
Where those Tracy area stations
would be located is something that may
not be decided any time soon, but it
will be important to the final design of
the system. Without a downtown Tracy
station and two or more in this area,
the whole concept of getting people out
of cars and into trains would be flawed.
Another consideration: What about
Mountain House?

disruption of blood

There are two types of
strokes. The first type
occurs when an artery is
blocked and is known as
“ischemic” stroke. The sec- patients can survive and
ond type occurs when an
artery breaks and bleeds
into the brain. This is
known as “hemorrhagic”
stroke and is often caused
by a weak spot in the
artery called an aneurysm. emergency!
If the disruption of blood
flow is brief, no brain cells
die and the symptoms
quickly get better, it is
called transient ischemic
attack or TIA, which is
often erroneously called a
“mini-stroke.”

Being a woman is the leading
risk factor for breast cancer.

HEAL Only skin cancers exceed breast

cancer as the most commonly
diagnosed cancer among women in

HEAL the United States. Although roughly

one in 1,000 men are diagnosed
with breast cancer each year, the
disease most often affects women.
The American Breast Cancer

R
eceiving a cancer diagnosis can be
a profound experience that often
changes the course of people’s lives.
Individuals react to cancer diagnoses
in various ways, with some retreating
into themselves and others sharing their
stories to garner as much strength as they
can muster.
A strong support system can help men and women
navigate the ups and downs of a cancer diagnosis
and subsequent treatments. While many people lean
on friends and family members for support, therapists
also can help patients as they battle cancer.
Licensed therapists can help treat many of the mental
side effects that often accompany a cancer diagno-
sis. Japanese researchers who reviewed the results
of six studies that included 517 patients with incurable
cancer and depression found that talk therapy was
shown to help treat depression symptoms nearly as
well as antidepressant medications.
Depression is not the only reason a cancer patient
may want to speak with a therapist. Cancer also can
give rise to many issues that may be better addressed
in a private, judgment-free zone. According to the
American Cancer Society, these are some additional
reasons to seek professional support:
• Trouble adjusting to the illness.
• Feelings of social or familial isolation.
• Family conflicts.
Society says that breast cancer is
100 times more common in women
than men. A woman now has a one
in eight chance of being diagnosed
in her lifetime, according to the
National Cancer Institute. Although
some breast cancers are traced
to inherited gene mutations, 85
percent of women diagnosed with
breast cancer have no family history
of the disease. Non-Hispanic white
women have higher rates of breast

therapists can work with individuals and families in
other areas. Therapists can help their patients find
community resources where they can connect with
others experiencing similar situations. And therapists
can help patients learn about the various ways they
can educate themselves about their disease. Some
therapists may specialize in offering support, while
others may focus on cognitive-behavioral therapy in
relation to cancer-induced anxieties.
Cancer patients have many options when the time
comes to choose a counselor. Ask your cancer
team to provide references or use the American
Psychosocial Oncology Society (www.apos-society.
org) as a resource.

ARMPIT DISCOMFORT DRY SKIN CONSTIPATION

According to Breastcancer.org, a nonprofit
organization dedicated to providing up-to-date
information about breast cancer, patients may
develop armpit discomfort after lumpectomy,
mastectomy or lymph node removal surger-
ies. This discomfort may be characterized by
pain, swelling, tenderness or numbness. The
numbness may result when nerves in the arm-
pit are cut during surgery, while tenderness or
swelling may occur when surgeons have to
remove some of the tissue under the surface of
the skin. Patients who receive radiation therapy
may develop irritation or soreness in the armpit
because the skin of the armpit is so close to
the breast.
Treatments for breast cancer have evolved con-
siderably in recent years. When breast cancer
is detected early enough to be categorized as
Stage 0 or Stage 1, the five-year survival rate is
100 percent. That’s a testament to the hard work
of cancer researchers who continue to develop
effective ways to treat and defeat breast cancer.
During treatment, breast cancer patients may
experience dry skin that is uncomfortable and
itchy. This side effect has been linked to chemo-
therapy, radiation therapy and hormonal therapy.
Dry skin tends to last as long as patients are in
treatment, gradually subsiding once treatment
has been completed.
POTENTIAL
SIDE EFFECTS
OF BREAST
CANCER
Some breast cancer patients experi-
ence constipation because their eating
and exercise habits change during treat-
ment. Constipation is also a side effect of
pain medications such as ibuprofen, so
breast cancer patients relying on medi-
cation to alleviate some of the pain asso-
ciated with their disease and treatment
may experience constipation as a result.
Chemotherapy and hormonal therapy are
two breast cancer treatments known to
cause constipation as well.
As effective as cancer treatments can be, breast
cancer patients may still experience some side
effects during treatment. Side effects may
depend on which course of treatment cancer
patients and their physicians pursue, but this page
shows some potential side effects breast cancer
patients may encounter during treatment.

ENDOMETRIOSIS
Endometriosis occurs when the cells that
make up the endometrium — the lining of
TREATMENTS
the uterus — grow outside of the uterus.
Hormonal therapy may stimulate the growth
of endometrial cells, triggering endometrio-
sis, which is most often found on or under the ovaries, behind the uter-
us or on the bowels or bladder. Endometriosis may cause pain, fertility
problems or heavy menstrual periods. Physicians who suspect their
patients have developed endometriosis may perform a laparoscopy,
a surgical procedure in which a small cut is made over the abdomen.
Once that cut is made, the surgeon will insert a thin tube equipped
with a viewing instrument so he or she can look inside the uterus to
determine if endometriosis has developed.
MEMORY LOSS
Breast cancer treatments such as chemo-
therapy, radiation therapy and hormonal ther-
apy may contribute to memory loss. Ovary
removal or shutdown may also result in mem-
ory loss. Memory loss may also be caused
by medications taken during breast cancer treatment. Breast cancer
patients who plan to continue working during treatment should discuss
with their physicians how to manage potential memory loss and may
also benefit from informing their employers about the potential for
treatment-related memory loss.
More information about potential breast cancer treatment side effects is
available at www.breastcancer.org.

BREAST SELF-EXAM
GUIDELINES
In addition to scheduling clinical screenings and mammograms, women should routinely exam-
ine and massage their breasts to detect any abnormalities. These breast self-exams can be an
important part of early breast cancer detection.
Although many women are aware that they should become familiar with their bodies, many are
unsure about just how frequently they should conduct breast examinations. Experts at Johns
Hopkins Medicine advise adult women of all ages to perform self-examinations at least once
a month. That’s because 40 percent of diagnosed breast cancers are first detected by women
who feel a lump. Establishing a regular breast self-exam schedule is very important.
Begin by looking at the breasts in a mirror. Note the size and appearance of the breasts, and pay
attention to any changes that are normal parts of hormonal changes associated with menstruation.
Breasts should be evenly shaped without distortion or swelling.
Changes that should cause concern include dimpling, puckering or bulging of the skin. Inverted nipples
or nipples that have changed position, as well as any rash or redness, should be noted. In addition, the
same examination should be done with arms raised over the head.
The breasts should be felt while both lying down and standing up. Use the right hand to manipulate the left
breast and vice versa. Use a firm touch with the first few fingers of the hand. Cover the entire breast in circular motions. The pattern taken doesn’t
matter so long as it covers the entire breast. All tissue, from the front to the back of the breast, should be felt. Many women find this easiest to
do while in the shower.
It is important not to panic if something is detected. Not every lump is breast cancer. And bumps may actually be normal parts of the breast, as
certain areas can feel different than others. But bring any concerns to the attention of your doctor.
Breast self-exams are a healthy habit to adopt. When used in conjunction with regular medical care and mammography, self-exams can be yet
another tool in helping to detect breast abnormalities. Doctors and nurses will use similar breast examination techniques during routine examinations.

March 13, 1948 • October 8, 2017
Dorothy ‘Jane’ Steinhour, 69 years of age, passed
away Sunday morning, October 8, at Central Valley
Specialty Hospital in Modesto, California. She was
born on March 13, 1948, to Jane Edna Thompson and Elmer Conrad Nelson.
She had endured numerous health conditions over the past years and
was prepared and willing to be reunited with her daughter Joanna Rieke
(1979–2016) and cherished canine companions Molly, Pepper and Missy.
Known to most as Jane, she was born in Chicago, Illinois, and raised
as an only child. She loved growing up in the city and frequently visited
the museums. A couple of years after having her first two children, Jane
moved to Ohio. She was a Cub Scout den leader and held a variety of jobs
to make ends meet for her family. After living over a decade in Ohio, Jane
moved to Livermore, California, in 1978 and to Tracy in November of 1979,
where she resided until she passed. She loved arts and crafts and spent many
years traveling around to numerous shows to sell her crafts. Jane eventually
opened up her store, Crafty Corners, in downtown Tracy for about 12 years.
She leaves behind her husband, Gary Steinhour (married 39 years); chil-
dren, Brian Busby (Mary) of Felicity, Ohio, and Tina Lusby (Dennis) of Elma,
Washington; and seven grandchildren, Bryn Andreoli, Hailey Rieke, Kaitlyn
Rieke, McKinzie Gales, Kyle Busby, Calyn Busby and Cory Busby.

August 9, 1957 • August 13, 2017
Kenric “Ken” Sinclair Silva passed away at home
on Sunday, August 13, 2017, after a brief and hard-
fought battle with an aggressive T-cell lymphoma,
T-PLL. He was surrounded by his wife of 37 years,
Felicia; their sons, Anthony and Kenneth; and
Kenneth’s fiancée, Monika.
Ken, a Novato resident for more than 30 years, was
born and raised in Tracy, California. He graduated
from Tracy High School in 1975. He then continued
his education at San Joaquin Delta Community
College before moving to Fresno, where he attended
California State University, Fresno. He graduated
from CSUF in 1979 with a degree in biology. He met
his wife, Felicia, while attending CSUF, and they were
married in 1980.
Ken joined the Army after college and was stationed at the Presidio of San Francisco,
where he worked at Letterman Army Institute of Research. He moved from research
to Cytology, attending Cytology school at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio,
Texas. After completing cytology school, Ken was again stationed at the Presidio of
San Francisco where he worked at Letterman Army Medical Center. In 1986, he and
his family moved from the Presidio of San Francisco to Novato as he transitioned from
active duty military to civilian life/reserve duty. A cytotechnologist for 32 years, Ken
was most recently the chief Cytotechnologist for Marin Medical Laboratories.
He loved science, technology, nature, sci-fi, history, music and art. He managed to
attend every 49ers home game, from their last few years at Candlestick to Levi’s
Stadium. This also became important family time, which he enjoyed spending with
his wife and sons as well as his sister, brother, sister- and brother-in-law and friends.
Ken was preceded in death by his parents, Joyce and Henry Silva, formerly of Tracy,
California. He is survived by his wife, Felicia; their two sons, Kenneth and Anthony;
his sister, Lynne Silva of Clovis, California; and his brother, Glenn Silva of Fresno,
California.
Our family would like to honor Ken by establishing a fund to further research into
this aggressive lymphoma by joining with the expert in this field at the University of
California San Francisco, Dr. Weiyun Ai.
We request any gifts be in the form of donations* marked “Dr. Ai Research Fund In
Memory of Kenric Silva” and sent to:
UCSF, PO Box 45339, San Francisco, CA 94145-0339
Thank you for helping us honor Ken’s memory and thereby helping others.

Tracy tied for first in TCAL with St. Mary’s, Lincoln
By Bob Brownne
Tracy Press
Tracy High’s volleyball team shook up
the Tri-City Athletic League standings
on Tuesday with a 3-0 win at home over
St. Mary’s of Stockton.
That created a three-way tie for first
place — with Tracy, Lincoln and St.
Mary’s all 6-2 in league matches and two
matches left in the season for each team.
The top three teams in the league will
go to the Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs.
Tracy (28-9, 6-2 TCAL) will face
Lincoln (23-5, 6-2 TCAL) on Thursday
and finish the league season at West on
Tuesday. West, which has a 5-3 TCAL
record, also has a chance to finish as
one of the top three teams in the league.
St. Mary’s and Lincoln will finish league
play with their crosstown match in
Stockton on Tuesday.
Tracy’s win on Tuesday, 26-24, 25-23,
25-17, made up for the team’s 3-1 loss to
St. Mary’s (20-9, 6-2 TCAL) on Sept.
28, and one extra set win would give
the Bulldogs the advantage in playoff
rankings should the two teams end up
with identical records at the end of
TCAL play.
“We had to stay calm and keep our
energy up,” said Tracy senior outside
hitter Jacqueline Yost. “It was a little iffy
coming in because our last game was
hard. We didn’t win, but since we were
at our school, we had big spirit section.
That really helped with our confidence.”
The home side of the bleachers was
filled with Bulldogs fans, including the
Tracy High soccer team, which has a
tradition of bringing a rowdy cheer-
ing section to the volleyball team’s big
matches each year.
“In the beginning we had so much
energy, and we continued that energy
throughout the game,” freshman setter
Natalie Laiolo said. “Everyone cheering
brought us more energy and I think we
just did great overall.”
She added that her team was looking
for redemption in the second half of
league play.
“We went to their home and we didn’t
do so well, but we revived ourselves
coming here and we played so good
together,” Laiolo said. “We played as a
team and meshed so well.”
St. Mary’s started with the lead in the
first set, but neither team led by more
than two points as they traded the lead
seven times.
Tracy’s attacks at the net kept the
second set close. Junior Cassie Corbett,
with 13 kills for the night, led the team’s
attacks, with Laiolo and sophomore Leila
Sardinha also strong at the net.
In the third set, Tracy caught up
with St. Mary’s as Yost led on a series
of points with support from Corbett at
the net. Senior Karina Rodriguez led
the Bulldogs on a run of eight service
points, including two aces, to end with a
comfortable lead.
Laiolo and Sardinha each had eight
kills, Rodriguez had six aces and 16
assists, senior Samantha Brown had 18
digs, and Briahna Garcia had two blocks.
St. Mary’s won the sophomore match
25-19, 25-18. The Rams’ attacking leader

was sophomore Anya Green with seven
kills, and sophomore Chloe Bautista had
18 digs. St. Mary’s also won the fresh-
man match 25-23, 18-25, 15-7.
Kimball 3, Sierra 0
The Jaguars prevailed in three com-
petitive sets for a 3-0 win on Wednesday
over visiting Sierra High. Kimball (13-
14, 6-6 Valley Oak League) beat Sierra
(9-15, 0-12 VOL) with scores of 25-18,
25-22, 25-23.
Senior Yasmin Nijjar was the Jaguars’
leading attacker with eight kills and
four blocks. Freshman Rein Bocage had
nine digs, two kills and three assists,
senior Emily Nunes had 13 assists and
three digs, senior Lauren Hicks scored
four kills and had five blocks, and junior
Ambrielle Coulter scored three kills
and had four blocks.
Kimball sits in fifth place in the VOL,
behind league leader Manteca (11-1 VOL)
and Oakdale (9-1 VOL), Central Catholic
(8-4 VOL) and Lathrop (7-5 VOL). Three
VOL teams go to the playoffs, so Kimball
must win its last two matches and
Central Catholic and Lathrop must lose
their remaining matches if the Jaguars
are to move up to third place.
West 3, Lodi 0
The West High Wolf Pack (27-9, 5-3
TCAL) started off with a dominant set
and followed it with two close sets to
win 25-10, 27-25, 26-24 on Tuesday at
Lodi High (14-13, 1-7 TCAL).
Senior Kathlin Martinez led West’s
attack with 12 kills and three aces,
freshman Lauren Toon had eight kills
and 17 digs, sophomore Veronica Siu
scored three aces and had 16 digs,
junior Vanna Marquez had 20 assists
and 13 digs, and junior Shkhinah
Tindsley had four blocks.
West faced Tokay (11-20, 0-8 TCAL)
in Lodi on Thursday and host Tracy on
Tuesday.
Stone Ridge Christian 3, Millennium 0
The Falcons took a 3-0 loss on Tuesday
at Stone Ridge Christian High in Merced,
but the Millennium team (7-7, 5-5 Central
California Athletic Alliance) is still on a
Glenn Moore/Tracy Press
pace to make the playoffs.
The top four teams from the sev-
en-team CCAA go to the playoffs. As of
Wednesday, with two matches left, the
Falcons were in third place in the league,
behind Big Valley Christian (10-0 CCAA)
and Stone Ridge Christian (8-2 CCAA).
Venture Academy (4-6 CCAA), the
Falcons’ opponent on Thursday, is tied
for fourth place with Turlock Christian
and Elliot Christian and has a chance to
move up in the league standings.
Hughson 3, Mountain House 0
The Mustangs were bumped from
playoff contention with their loss at
home to Hughson High on Tuesday.
Hughson (18-10, 7-3 Trans Valley
League) defeated Mountain House
25-18, 25-19, 25-15.
Senior Jazz Aulakh led the Mustangs’
offensive effort with seven kills.
Sophomore Michelle Poland had three
blocks, senior Lauren Morales had 10
digs and senior Kevincy Fernando pro-
vided 11 assists.
The Mustangs are in fifth place in the
TVL, and the top four teams will go to
the playoffs. Hilmar (9-0 TVL) is first,
Hughson and Escalon (7-3 TVL) are tied
for second, and Ripon (6-3) is fourth.
With two matches left, the Mustangs
will finish no higher than fifth place.
Lodi Academy 3, Delta Charter 0
The Dragons took a Mountain Valley
League loss at home on Tuesday to Lodi
Academy, 27-25, 25-17, 25-15.
Delta Charter (2-14, 2-12 MVL) will
not make playoffs this year. The top
three teams at this point are Holt
Academy (10-1 MVL), Tioga (10-3 MVL)
and Stockton Christian (8-2 MVL).
Lathrop 3, Kimball 0
Kimball’s playoff hopes ran up against
a determined Lathrop team on Monday
in Lathrop.
The Lathrop Spartans (11-9, 7-5 VOL)
defeated the Jaguars 3-0 on Monday at
Lathrop High with scores of 25-19, 25-23,
25-23. Senior Yasmin Nijjar was strong
at the net with five kills and five blocks,
freshman Rein Bocage had 10 digs, six
SPORTS. | 27
kills and three assists, senior Emily
Nunes provided eight assists and seven
digs, and senior Lauren Hicks scored
four kills and had five blocks.
St. Mary’s 3, West 2
The West High volleyball team fought
hard for a share of first place in the
Tri-City Athletic League. It wasn’t until
the end of the fifth and final set of their
Oct. 12 match that the St. Mary’s Rams
prevailed, keeping their spot at the top
of the TCAL standings.
“They’re a good team. They’re 5-1
(now 6-2) for a reason. They don’t make
a lot of mistakes,” West coach Christine
Toon said. “They make mistakes and we
capitalize on them. We make mistakes
and they capitalize on them.”
It was a night of close scores and
extended rallies, resulting in set scores
of 23-25, 25-16, 16-25, 25-20, 15-12 in St.
Mary’s favor.
West overcame the Rams’ early lead
in the first set with a string of ser-
vice points from junior Nicole Brown,
and senior Kathlin Martinez attacked
to keep West in the lead the rest of the
way. The Rams came to the second set
with strong attacks at the gaps in West’s
defense to even it up.
West again overcame an early St.
Mary’s lead in the third set — this
time with freshman Lauren Toon and
Martinez at the service line to put West
ahead, senior Erika Ayo and junior mid-
dle blocker Shkhinah Tindsley hitting
and blocking at the net, and Brown back
at the service line at the end with sup-
port from Martinez’s attacks.
The fourth set went back and forth,
neither team leading by more than one
point until the Rams went on a scoring
run to turn an 11-11 tie into an 18-11 lead,
which held for the rest of the set.
The fourth set started off close with
St. Mary’s taking the lead on a string of
service points. West answered with its
own series of points led by Veronica Siu,
including a couple of serving aces, but
St. Mary’s held onto its lead.

November 22, 1929 • October 14, 2017
Betty Jean Sazama passed away on October 14, 2017. She was born to Warren and
Elsa (Breitling) Smith on November 22, 1929, in Denver.
She is survived by her children, Terry (Loretta), Rick (Christine),
Dave (Justina), Steven, and Debbie; her grandchildren, Tammy Souza
(Rod), Jason Sazama (Amy), Steve Sazama (Aimee), Kelli Vance (Steven),
and Korina Deter; and her great-grandchildren, Alexandra and Audra
Souza, Xander and Grady Sazama, Chloee, Sophia, and Delany Sazama,
Spencer, Shane, and Kami Vance, and Raegan and Reese Deter.
Betty and her parents moved to Inglewood, California, where she
met and married Tom Sazama, her lifelong partner, who preceded
her in death on February 12, 2016. Betty and family lived in South
Dakota, Oregon, and California. She retired from Tracy Defense Depot
on June 30, 1988, after 22 years of service.
Betty was an avid crafter and painter, kept numerous journals throughout her life, and loved
reading mystery novels and watching mysteries on TV. She enjoyed visiting relatives and friends,
RVing throughout the U.S. and Canada with her husband and collecting postcards along the way,
touring foreign countries with (as son Steve says) her “favorite” daughter, and going to movies
with that same “favorite” daughter, and (all kidding aside) unconditionally loved each of her
children equally. Her greatest joy was spending time with family and friends. She especially took
great delight in her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and their exploits.
Betty was an awesome mother. We all remember the many times when she would sit and
listen to one of her children’s problems or concerns and advise accordingly, or when she would
stay up all night typing a homework paper due the next day. She
demonstrated her love for each in her teaching of ethics, personal
responsibility, and treating others as we would want to be treated.
Betty enjoyed participating in Astoria Senior Living outings and
activities, shopping, and eating out. In fact, she was planning to at-
tend the Astoria harvest festival on the day she passed away, a family
birthday party the next day, a shopping excursion for “jammies” with
her son Steven the day after that, and Astoria’s Dell’Osso Family Farm
outing the following day. She was not able to participate in these
activities because she passed away quickly and peacefully in the early
morning hours.
She showed her strength, resiliency, and bravery to the end. She
will be greatly missed but lives on in each of our hearts forever.
A celebration of life will be held on Friday, October 27, 2017, at 1 p.m. at Fry Memorial Chapel,
550 S. Central Ave., Tracy CA 95376.
The family would like to thank the staff at Astoria Senior Living in Tracy and Life Springs
Hospice Care for the excellent care they gave Betty the last six months of her life.
Donations may be made to Life Springs Hospice Care, 60 Whitney Place, Fremont, CA 94539.

FOOTBALL
Bulldogs roll over Tokay 62-0
Falcons claim a win
for homecoming
By Bob Brownne
Tracy Press
There was no way to hold back
the Bulldogs on Friday.
The Tracy High team scored early
and often against the Tokay Tigers
on the way to a 55-0 halftime lead,
and with a running clock for the full
second half, the Bulldogs’ backup
players scored again for a 62-0 win
in their homecoming game.
“The biggest thing is that we’re
playing our guys that hadn’t been
healthy and they’re healthy and
back where they need to be,”
Tracy coach Matt Shrout said.
One of them was sophomore
quarterback Logan Fife, who had
missed two games because of an
injury and returned to pass for 140
yards on seven of eight attempts,
including three touchdown passes,
in the first half of Friday’s game.
Tracy (5-2, 2-0 Tri-City Athletic
League) also ran the ball for 184
yards with 11 different players car-
rying the ball. Fife was the leading
rusher for the Bulldogs with 64 yards
on three carries, including a 47-yard
run that set up Tracy’s fifth touch-
down late in the first quarter.
The Bulldog defense held Tokay
(2-5, 0-2 TCAL) to 75 yards of offense.
Tracy senior Carlos Vasquez
said that even with a big lead at
the start, his team was ready to
make big plays at every oppor-
tunity, especially because Tracy
must face St. Mary’s and Lincoln
— both also undefeated in league
play — over the next two weeks.
“We prepare for this game and
take every game one game at a
time and we came in here hard,
just so we could get ready for St.
Mary’s,” Vasquez said.
Junior offensive and defensive
lineman Angelo Ortega added that
the win helped build his team’s
enthusiasm.
“I think that we’re going into
the St. Mary’s game very strong.
If we put up the same effort that
we did today, we’ll do a very good
job against them,” he said. “I saw
a unit come together and a team
bond that will never be broken.”
The Bulldogs dominated the
Tigers from the start. It took just
three plays from the opening kick-
off for Fife to connect on a 25-yard
touchdown pass to senior Anthony
Buckhanan. On Tokay’s first play
of the game, senior quarterback
Daniel Garlick threw an intercep-
tion to Vasquez, who ran the ball
back 30 yards to the Tokay 15-yard
line. From there, Fife passed to
senior Xavier Moore — also back
on the field after missing two
games — for another touchdown.
Tokay got off two plays after

Mountain House (4-3,

is also on a pace to make
the playoffs, but to do
that the Mustangs would
have to win at least two

ing Trans Valley League
games, as they have yet
to best a TVL opponent.
They would most likely
land in Division V, which
is an eight-team bracket.
Millennium could go
to the playoffs as one
of the top three teams
in the CCAA, depending
on how the next three
games go. The Falcons
have a slim chance of
getting in as an at-large
team, but they are tied
for third with Brookside
Christian of Stockton.
The Falcons would have
to move up in the league
standings or at least
hold third place.
Kimball’s prospects of
moving into the top three
in the VOL are more
remote. The Jaguars
would have to win all
three remaining league
games. And with Central
Catholic and Oakdale

Manteca, East Union and
Lathrop are all 2-2 — at
least one of the third-
place teams would also
have to lose two games to
give Kimball a chance to
move up in the standings.
West’s only chance to
make the playoffs would
be to win three games
in a row while one of
the three league leaders
— Tracy, St. Mary’s and
Lincoln — lost the last
three TCAL games.

twice more in the fourth quarter
but was unable to cross midfield.
Tracy’s sophomores (5-2, 2-0
TCAL) beat Tokay 46-0, and the
freshman team (3-4, 2-0 TCAL)
beat Tokay 40-18. Alejandro
DeLatorre scored three touch-
downs for the freshmen; Gabe
Andora, Alex Gougousis and
Tommy Chavez each scored one
touchdown; and Pedro Barbosa
was 4 for 6 on point-after kicks.
Millennium 12, Turlock Christian 6
Both the Millennium Falcons
(2-5, 1-1 CCAA) and the Turlock
Christian Eagles (2-5, 0-3
CCAA) were able to move the
ball on offense Friday, but most
of their drives landed short of
the end zone at West High’s
Steve Lopez Stadium.
The Falcons ended up with
the advantage in the second
half to secure a 12-6 win.
Millennium junior Isaiah
Woods gained 106 yards on
15 carries, including a 7-yard
touchdown run that put the
Falcons up 6-0 in the first quar-
ter. The Eagles controlled pos-
session of the ball on extended
drives but didn’t reach the end
zone until the third quarter,
when they tied it up 6-6.
Senior Jenoah Gandall was the
leading rusher with 150 yards on
20 carries, including a 13-yard
touchdown run that put the
Falcons ahead 12-6 at the end
of the third quarter. The Falcon
passing game was limited to two
completions on seven attempts
— a 16-yard pass from junior
Jajuan Tucker to Woods and
a 35-yard pass from freshman
Caden Duke, in his first varsity
game, to senior Josiah Johnson.
Junior Nathan Graf was the
Falcons’ defensive leader with
11 tackles and two sacks, and
freshman Jacey Zuniga, also
just up from the JV team, had a
third-quarter interception.
Escalon 49, Mountain House 34
The Mustangs found them-
selves down 35-6 in the second
quarter of Friday’s 49-34 loss at
Escalon, but refused to accept a
four-touchdown deficit against
the Cougars.
Escalon (4-3, 2-0 TVL) jumped
out to a 21-0 lead before Mustang
junior quarterback Jesse Jordan
scored on a seven-yard run in
the second quarter. Escalon
scored two more second-quarter
touchdowns, and the Mustangs
(4-3, 0-2 TVL) closed out the
half with Jordan’s 28-yard touch-
down pass to junior Sam Olsen,
cutting Escalon’s lead to 35-12.
Mountain House coach Jason
McCloskey said that his team
corrected its defensive mis-
takes in the second half.
“We were mad because we
knew we could play with these
guys,” McCloskey said.
Mountain House senior
Westin Birks scored three
touchdowns in the third quarter
on an eight-yard run, an 11-yard
run and another eight-yard run.
A pair of two-point conversions
— a pass from Jordan to Olson
and a run by Jordan — cut
Escalon’s lead to 42-34.
McCloskey added that junior
Vladik Sutherland led the rush-
ing attack, gaining 178 yards
on eight carries, until a late
out-of-bounds tackle left him
with a knee injury. Junior Elias
Escobar filled in and covered
101 yards on seven carries.
Escalon scored again in the
fourth on a rushing touchdown.
Escalon won the junior var-
sity game 36-14. Quarterback
Timothy Cantu totaled 142
yards passing and 11 yards
rushing for the Mustangs (1-5-
1, 0-2 TVL), including both
Mustang touchdowns.
Manteca 51, Kimball 6
It didn’t take long for the
Manteca Buffaloes to charge out
ahead of the Kimball Jaguars on
Friday in Manteca, heading for
a 51-6 victory.
Kimball coach Dave
McPherson said the Jaguars
(1-6, 1-3 VOL) had a strong open-
ing drive, though they ended up
short before Manteca (5-2, 2-2
Valley Oak League) took over.
By the third quarter, senior Jace
Chavez was into a good running
game, and sophomore quarter-
back Kyle Gibson had a decent
passing game, including a
touchdown pass to junior Mateo
Decoite in the third quarter.
Manteca won the sophomore
game 42-13. Kaleo Ballungay
scored one touchdown for the
Jaguars (3-4, 2-2 VOL) on a
pass from Mason Salazar, and
Louie Pacheco scored a rushing
touchdown. Hashmat Waseem
scored on one point-after kick.
St. Mary’s 50, West 6
The St. Mary’s Rams took a
29-0 lead over West in the first
quarter on the way to a 50-6
win Friday in Stockton.
The Wolf Pack (1-6, 0-2 TCAL)
got on the scoreboard in the
third with a 45-yard touchdown
pass from senior quarterback
Yannick Reffell to senior wide
receiver Eric Robertson. The
Rams (5-2, 2-0 TCAL) respond-
ed with two touchdowns in the
third quarter and one more in
the fourth.
St. Mary’s won the sopho-
more game 22-0 on Friday, put-
ting West at 2-5 overall, 0-2
TCAL, and the Rams won the
freshman game 42-7 against the
Wolf Pack (0-6, 0-2 TCAL).
Big Valley Christian 63,
Delta Charter 0
The Delta Charter Dragons
(1-5) finished their inaugural
season with a loss to Big Valley
Christian High (7-0) in Modesto.
The Dragons saw a strong
offensive performance from
senior tight end Thies Thoming,
and freshman Jathen Cain was
the defensive standout at safety.

It didn’t take long for West

Cochiaosue to discover that
she was overqualified to com-
pete in freshman-sophomore
cross-country races.
In her second meet of the
season, she dominated the

ing her closest competitor by
more than a minute. After
that, West coach Theresa
James moved her to the var-
sity race for the first Tri-City
Athletic League meet on Sept.
13, where she placed second.
“As a freshman, after the
first race, I had a good lead,
and my coach saw that as well,”
Cochiaosue said. “After I ran
varsity and had a good place at
that race, my confidence level
kept going higher and higher.”

Tracy tied for first in TCAL with St. Mary’s, Lincoln
By Bob Brownne
Tracy Press
Tracy High’s volleyball team shook up
the Tri-City Athletic League standings
on Tuesday with a 3-0 win at home over
St. Mary’s of Stockton.
That created a three-way tie for first
place — with Tracy, Lincoln and St.
Mary’s all 6-2 in league matches and two
matches left in the season for each team.
The top three teams in the league will
go to the Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs.
Tracy (28-9, 6-2 TCAL) will face
Lincoln (23-5, 6-2 TCAL) on Thursday
and finish the league season at West on
Tuesday. West, which has a 5-3 TCAL
record, also has a chance to finish as
one of the top three teams in the league.
St. Mary’s and Lincoln will finish league
play with their crosstown match in
Stockton on Tuesday.
Tracy’s win on Tuesday, 26-24, 25-23,
25-17, made up for the team’s 3-1 loss to
St. Mary’s (20-9, 6-2 TCAL) on Sept.
28, and one extra set win would give
the Bulldogs the advantage in playoff
rankings should the two teams end up
with identical records at the end of
TCAL play.
“We had to stay calm and keep our
energy up,” said Tracy senior outside
hitter Jacqueline Yost. “It was a little iffy
coming in because our last game was
hard. We didn’t win, but since we were
at our school, we had big spirit section.
That really helped with our confidence.”
The home side of the bleachers was
filled with Bulldogs fans, including the
Tracy High soccer team, which has a
tradition of bringing a rowdy cheer-
ing section to the volleyball team’s big
matches each year.
“In the beginning we had so much
energy, and we continued that energy
throughout the game,” freshman setter
Natalie Laiolo said. “Everyone cheering
brought us more energy and I think we
just did great overall.”
She added that her team was looking
for redemption in the second half of
league play.
“We went to their home and we didn’t
do so well, but we revived ourselves
coming here and we played so good
together,” Laiolo said. “We played as a
team and meshed so well.”
St. Mary’s started with the lead in the
first set, but neither team led by more
than two points as they traded the lead
seven times.
Tracy’s attacks at the net kept the
second set close. Junior Cassie Corbett,
with 13 kills for the night, led the team’s
attacks, with Laiolo and sophomore Leila
Sardinha also strong at the net.
In the third set, Tracy caught up
with St. Mary’s as Yost led on a series
of points with support from Corbett at
the net. Senior Karina Rodriguez led
the Bulldogs on a run of eight service
points, including two aces, to end with a
comfortable lead.
Laiolo and Sardinha each had eight
kills, Rodriguez had six aces and 16
assists, senior Samantha Brown had 18
digs, and Briahna Garcia had two blocks.
St. Mary’s won the sophomore match
25-19, 25-18. The Rams’ attacking leader

was sophomore Anya Green with seven
kills, and sophomore Chloe Bautista had
18 digs. St. Mary’s also won the fresh-
man match 25-23, 18-25, 15-7.
Kimball 3, Sierra 0
The Jaguars prevailed in three com-
petitive sets for a 3-0 win on Wednesday
over visiting Sierra High. Kimball (13-
14, 6-6 Valley Oak League) beat Sierra
(9-15, 0-12 VOL) with scores of 25-18,
25-22, 25-23.
Senior Yasmin Nijjar was the Jaguars’
leading attacker with eight kills and
four blocks. Freshman Rein Bocage had
nine digs, two kills and three assists,
senior Emily Nunes had 13 assists and
three digs, senior Lauren Hicks scored
four kills and had five blocks, and junior
Ambrielle Coulter scored three kills
and had four blocks.
Kimball sits in fifth place in the VOL,
behind league leader Manteca (11-1 VOL)
and Oakdale (9-1 VOL), Central Catholic
(8-4 VOL) and Lathrop (7-5 VOL). Three
VOL teams go to the playoffs, so Kimball
must win its last two matches and
Central Catholic and Lathrop must lose
their remaining matches if the Jaguars
are to move up to third place.
West 3, Lodi 0
The West High Wolf Pack (27-9, 5-3
TCAL) started off with a dominant set
and followed it with two close sets to
win 25-10, 27-25, 26-24 on Tuesday at
Lodi High (14-13, 1-7 TCAL).
Senior Kathlin Martinez led West’s
attack with 12 kills and three aces,
freshman Lauren Toon had eight kills
and 17 digs, sophomore Veronica Siu
scored three aces and had 16 digs,
junior Vanna Marquez had 20 assists
and 13 digs, and junior Shkhinah
Tindsley had four blocks.
West faced Tokay (11-20, 0-8 TCAL)
in Lodi on Thursday and host Tracy on
Tuesday.
Stone Ridge Christian 3, Millennium 0
The Falcons took a 3-0 loss on Tuesday
at Stone Ridge Christian High in Merced,
but the Millennium team (7-7, 5-5 Central
California Athletic Alliance) is still on a
Glenn Moore/Tracy Press
pace to make the playoffs.
The top four teams from the sev-
en-team CCAA go to the playoffs. As of
Wednesday, with two matches left, the
Falcons were in third place in the league,
behind Big Valley Christian (10-0 CCAA)
and Stone Ridge Christian (8-2 CCAA).
Venture Academy (4-6 CCAA), the
Falcons’ opponent on Thursday, is tied
for fourth place with Turlock Christian
and Elliot Christian and has a chance to
move up in the league standings.
Hughson 3, Mountain House 0
The Mustangs were bumped from
playoff contention with their loss at
home to Hughson High on Tuesday.
Hughson (18-10, 7-3 Trans Valley
League) defeated Mountain House
25-18, 25-19, 25-15.
Senior Jazz Aulakh led the Mustangs’
offensive effort with seven kills.
Sophomore Michelle Poland had three
blocks, senior Lauren Morales had 10
digs and senior Kevincy Fernando pro-
vided 11 assists.
The Mustangs are in fifth place in the
TVL, and the top four teams will go to
the playoffs. Hilmar (9-0 TVL) is first,
Hughson and Escalon (7-3 TVL) are tied
for second, and Ripon (6-3) is fourth.
With two matches left, the Mustangs
will finish no higher than fifth place.
Lodi Academy 3, Delta Charter 0
The Dragons took a Mountain Valley
League loss at home on Tuesday to Lodi
Academy, 27-25, 25-17, 25-15.
Delta Charter (2-14, 2-12 MVL) will
not make playoffs this year. The top
three teams at this point are Holt
Academy (10-1 MVL), Tioga (10-3 MVL)
and Stockton Christian (8-2 MVL).
Lathrop 3, Kimball 0
Kimball’s playoff hopes ran up against
a determined Lathrop team on Monday
in Lathrop.
The Lathrop Spartans (11-9, 7-5 VOL)
defeated the Jaguars 3-0 on Monday at
Lathrop High with scores of 25-19, 25-23,
25-23. Senior Yasmin Nijjar was strong
at the net with five kills and five blocks,
freshman Rein Bocage had 10 digs, six

kills and three assists, senior Emily
Nunes provided eight assists and seven
digs, and senior Lauren Hicks scored
four kills and had five blocks.
St. Mary’s 3, West 2
The West High volleyball team fought
hard for a share of first place in the
Tri-City Athletic League. It wasn’t until
the end of the fifth and final set of their
Oct. 12 match that the St. Mary’s Rams
prevailed, keeping their spot at the top
of the TCAL standings.
“They’re a good team. They’re 5-1
(now 6-2) for a reason. They don’t make
a lot of mistakes,” West coach Christine
Toon said. “They make mistakes and we
capitalize on them. We make mistakes
and they capitalize on them.”
It was a night of close scores and
extended rallies, resulting in set scores
of 23-25, 25-16, 16-25, 25-20, 15-12 in St.
Mary’s favor.
West overcame the Rams’ early lead
in the first set with a string of ser-
vice points from junior Nicole Brown,
and senior Kathlin Martinez attacked
to keep West in the lead the rest of the
way. The Rams came to the second set
with strong attacks at the gaps in West’s
defense to even it up.
West again overcame an early St.
Mary’s lead in the third set — this
time with freshman Lauren Toon and
Martinez at the service line to put West
ahead, senior Erika Ayo and junior mid-
dle blocker Shkhinah Tindsley hitting
and blocking at the net, and Brown back
at the service line at the end with sup-
port from Martinez’s attacks.
The fourth set went back and forth,
neither team leading by more than one
point until the Rams went on a scoring
run to turn an 11-11 tie into an 18-11 lead,
which held for the rest of the set.
The fourth set started off close with
St. Mary’s taking the lead on a string of
service points. West answered with its
own series of points led by Veronica Siu,
including a couple of serving aces, but
St. Mary’s held onto its lead.

GIRLS GOLF
Local players advance to division
By Bob Brownne
Tracy Press
Two Tracy High golfers were among
the top competitors at the Tri-City
Athletic League championship tourna-
ment Monday at Tracy
Golf and Country Club.
Tracy sophomore
Kelsey Bas scored 97
on the par-74 course,
tying for 10th place, and
her teammate Simran
Grewal shot 100, good
enough for 12th place
among the 36 golfers in
the league. BAS
Those scores placed
them among the top six
at-large qualifiers for
next week’s Sac-Joaquin
Section Division I South
tournament at Rancho
Del Rey Golf Club in
Atwater.
Bas noted that her
score wasn’t as good as
the 93 she shot on the GREWAL
same course last week
in the Bulldog Invitational and said she
didn’t play up to her abilities.
“I would compete with the people
instead of competing with the course
itself,” she said, though there were some
bright spots. “My driver was pretty
good today, which usually doesn’t hap-
pen because my driver is super incon-
sistent, so that helped me.”
She will make a return trip to the
Division I South tournament after going
as a freshman. Grewal qualified for the
division tournament for the first time
Monday and expects to improve on her
score of 100.
“There were a few holes where I putt-
ed more than I should have, but other
than that, my shots were going pretty
straight, so I was happy with that,” she
said, adding that her three-wood shots
were her advantage. “That’s the club
that’s been saving me lately. My three-
wood and my driver. As long as you can
get that first shot off the tee box.”
The SJS Division I South tournament
takes the top two teams from the TCAL
tournament. League champion Lincoln
had a team score of 455 on Monday,
including an even-par 74 for individual
champion Anitra Khoth. Runner-up St.
Mary’s (486) will also send its full team.
Tracy (548) went 4-6 in the league
season and placed fifth at the tourna-
ment after Tokay (507) and Lodi (538).
West placed sixth (650) after going 0-10.

No. 0849
Notice of Intent to Adopt a
Mitigated Negative Declaration/
Initial Study for the
Alvarez Annexation Project
Lead Agency: City of Tracy
Department of Development
Services
333 Civic Center Plaza
Tracy, CA 95376
Project Title: Alvarez Annexation
Project Location: The Project site
consists of 9.1 acres, located in un-
incorporated San Joaquin County,
along Interstate 205 (I-205) adjacent
to the northern portion of the City of
Tracy. The Project site includes two
APNs: 212-170-34 and 212-170-33.
In addition, the Project site contains
an area to the south of the two APNs,
within I-205 right-of-way and the
fronting segment (approximately
660 feet long) of the Larch Road pub-
lic right-ofway.
Project Description: The Project site
is located within unincorporated San
Joaquin County, within Tracy’s Sphere
of Influence (SOI), adjacent to the cur-
rent City limits. The proposed Project
would annex the 9.1-acre Project site
into the City of Tracy. In addition, as
part of the annexation process, the
proposed Project would provide the
Project site pre-zoning. The zoning
for the Project site would be a new
zone classification, the Community
Recreation Support Services (CRS)
Zone.
There is no specific development
proposed as part of the proposed
Project. The proposed project con-
sists of three actions: 1) annexation
of the site into the Tracy City Limits,
2) pre-zoning the site to Community
Recreation Support Services, and
3) amending the Tracy Zoning Or-
dinance to include the Community
Recreation Support Services (CRS)
Zone. It is noted that the zoning code
amendment would not rezone any
other parcels within the City of Tracy.
Future utilities serving the project
site would be provided by the City of
Tracy, via the extension of existing
nearby water, storm drain, and sewer
lines. Police and Fire services would
also be provided by the City of Tra-
cy. Given that the Project site would
be used for commercial uses, based
upon the floor-area-ratio (FAR) of 1.0
for commercial uses as provided in
the Tracy General Plan (pg. 2-24), the
proposed Project has the potential to
develop up to 396,396 square feet of
commercial uses, consistent with the
uses allowed under the proposed
CRS zone.
Findings/Determination: The City
has reviewed and considered the
proposed project and has deter-
mined that the project will not have a
significant effect on the environment,
with substantial supporting evidence
provided in the Initial Study. The City
hereby prepares and proposes to
adopt a Mitigated Negative Declara-
tion for this project.
Public Review Period: A 30-day
public review period for the Mitigat-
ed Negative Declaration/ Initial Study
will commence on October 17, 2017
and will end on November 17, 2017
for interested individuals and public
agencies to submit written com-
ments on the document. Any written
comments on the Initial Study/Mit-
igated Negative Declaration should
be sent to the attention of Alan Bell,
Senior Planner, and must be received
at the City of Tracy Department of
Development Services by 5:00 PM on
November 17, 2017. The project file
and copies of the Mitigated Negative
Declaration/Initial Study are avail-
able for review at City of Tracy at the
address listed above. The Mitigated
Negative Declaration/Initial Study is
also available at the Tracy Branch Li-
brary or on the City’s website:
http://www.ci.tracy.
ca.us/?navid=595. If you have any
questions regarding the City’s review
of the proposed annexation, please
contact Alan Bell, Senior Planner,

831-6426.

who may otherwise be interested in
the will or estate, or both, of:
WILFORD D. JOHNSON aka
WILFORD DOLAN JOHNSON
A Petition for Probate has been filed
by :
DOLAN SCOTT JOHNSON
in the Superior Court of California,
County of: San Joaquin
DOLAN SCOTT JOHNSON be ap-
pointed as personal representative
to administer the estate of the dece-
dent.
The petition requests the decedent’s
will and codicils, if any, be admitted
to probate. The will and any codicils
are available for examination in the
file kept by the court.
The petition requests authority to
administer the estate under the In-
dependent Administration of Estates
Act. (This authority will allow the
personal representative to take many
actions without obtaining court ap-
proval. Before taking certain very
important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required
to give notice to interested persons
unless they have waived notice or
consented to the proposed action)
The independent administration au-
thority will be granted unless an in-
terested person files an objection to
the petition and shows good cause
why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held
in this court as follows:
Date: NOVEMBER 29, 2017
Time: 8:30 a.m. Dept.: 11A
located at:
Superior Court of California,

If you object to the granting of the
petition, you should appear at the
hearing and state your objections or
file written objections with the court
before the hearing. Your appearance
may be in person or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent
creditor of the decedent, you must
file your claim with the court and mail
a copy to the personal representative
appointed by the court within the
later of either (1) four months from
the date of first issuance of letters to
a general personal representative, as
defined in section 58(b) of the Califor-
nia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from
the date of the mailing or personal
delivery to you of a notice under sec-
tion 9052 of the California Probate
Code. Other California statutes and
legal authority may affect your rights
as a creditor. You may want to consult
with an attorney knowledgeable in
California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested
in the estate, you may file with the
court a Request for Special Notice
(form DE-154) of the filing of an in-
ventory and appraisal of estate assets
or of any petition or account as pro-
vided in Probate Code section 1250.
A Request for Special Notice form is
available from the court clerk.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF
TRACY ADDING A NEW SECTION
10.08.4243, TEMPORARY STORAGE
CONTAINER PERMIT, TO CHAPTER
10.08, ZONING REGULATIONS, OF
THE TRACY MUNICIPAL CODE
The City Council wishes to establish
standards and permit requirements
for temporary storage containers on
residential property to ensure that
temporary storage containers will
not result in visual blight or deterio-
rated neighborhood aesthetics, im-
pede or interfere with vehicle travel,
or become safety hazards or nuisanc-
es. The cost for a permit to maintain
a temporary storage container on
residential property for more than
30 days will be $85. The City Council
finds that the proposed amendments
to the Tracy Municipal Code are not
a project within the meaning of the
California Environmental Quality Act
because it does not have the poten-
tial for causing a significant effect on
the environment (CEQA Guidelines,
14 California Code of Regulations,
§15061(b)); and
The City Council considered the pro-
posed Ordinance at a noticed public
hearing held on October 17, 2017.
A certified copy of the full text of the
proposed ordinance is posted and
may be read in full in the
City Clerk’s Office at 333 Civic Center

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF
TRACY ADDING SECTION 10.08.3193
TO THE TRACY MUNICIPAL CODE RE-
GARDING MOBILE FOOD VENDORS
City Council directed City staff to
modify City regulations to allow food
trucks at employer locations in indus-
trial areas of the City. The consensus
related to providing a service and
convenience to employers and em-
ployees while supporting a business
opportunity for mobile food vendors.
The City Council consensus also in-
cluded a desire to avoid direct com-
petition with permanent restaurants
inside buildings and therefore, did
not want to allow mobile food ven-
dors in the downtown area or other
commercial locations where perma-
nent restaurants could operate. The
proposed ordinance will amend the
Tracy Municipal Code to allow mo-
bile food vendors to operate in areas
zoned as industrial in the City.
The City Council considered the pro-
posed Ordinance at a noticed public
hearing held on October 17, 2017.
