The Antioch Police Department is excited to announce the 82nd installment of the Neighborhood Cleanup Program. This is a collaborative community effort which involves active participation from The Antioch Police Department Crime Prevention Commission; Neighborhood Watch Program; Volunteers in Police Service; community volunteers and the Public Works Department. <\/p>\n
Collectively, We, everyone who works and lives in the City Antioch, can make a difference and improve the quality of life. Its our community and its our chance to make a difference. <\/p>\n
The City of Antioch Neighborhood Clean Up program is not just for residential neighborhoods. It is a program that will change venues, on a monthly basis and it will include business and commercial areas as well. Neighborhoods that are free of trash and refuse are inviting, and a clean community instills a sense of community pride. <\/p>\n
The 82nd Neighborhood Cleanup event will occur on Saturday, July 1 2017 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. We will be cleaning the neighborhoods from 16th St. to Merrill Dr. between Marie Ave. and A Street (see map). Volunteers will meet at Kimball Elementary School on August Way. <\/p>\n
Volunteers will receive instructions and the equipment necessary to accomplish the goal. The targeted area is within walking distance. Excluding inclement weather, future Neighborhood Cleanup events are scheduled for the first Saturday of every month and the locations will be announced in advance. <\/p>\n
Remember, cleaning up your neighborhood can make life better for your family, your neighbors and your community! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Shoppers enjoy the variety of items at Rivertown Treasure Chest. <\/p>\n
By Allen Payton <\/p>\n
Another new store has opened in Antiochs historic, downtown Rivertown, incorporating the area in its name: Rivertown Treasure Chest. Its a co-op thats co-owned by three ladies, Debbie Blaisure, Toni Lincks and Earlene Lanter and a portion of the sale of some items will benefit three local non-profit organizations. <\/p>\n
Blaisure and Lincks bring their retail experience from owning Oddly Unique, just down the street. But, this store was a result of a dream. <\/p>\n
I had a dream of mixing the new and old in a co-op, Blaisure said. Johnny Depp came to me in a dream and said to have a treasure chest theme, she joked. <\/p>\n
The tag line says it all Something for all ages from all decades, Blaisure added. <\/p>\n
They rent out space in their store to other retailers, who offer a wide variety of items, including clothing, candy and other sweets, plants including carnivorous types, greeting cards, and gifts. <\/p>\n
The three non-profits that the store benefits are Celebrate Antioch Foundation which runs Antiochs July 4th Celebration and the Holiday Delites in December; An Elderly Wish Foundation which grants wishes to seniors; and Special Haven, also located on G Street, which provides a multi-sensory environment for the benefit and development of children and adults with Special Needs. <\/p>\n
Folks can donate their used wood furniture, art, statures, vases and vinyl records and half of the proceeds from the sale of the item will be donated to the charity of the donors choice. <\/p>\n
Two of the ladies who help manage the store, Naomi Paul and Mary Freeman said the reason they like the store, is it brings something that downtown Antioch deserves. <\/p>\n
A little kid just bought something and an adult bought something, Mary added, supporting the slogan of something for all ages. <\/p>\n
Stop by Rivertown Treasure Chest at 306 G St. in Antioch and browse through all the sections to see the interesting items from all decades.

The Pittsburg Diamonds have played at City Park since 2014, and this week welcomed back to the Bay Area, former Major League slugger Jose Canseco, as he spent the weekend of June 23rd with the independent professional baseball team. <\/p>\n Canseco is best known for his tenure with the Oakland Athletics from 1982-1992, where nailed 209 homeruns and 647 RBIs. He and Athletics first baseman Mark McGwire formed the Bash Brothers. Along with that, he captured a World Series ring in the 1989 Battle of the Bay that was overshadowed by the infamous Loma Prieta Earthquake. <\/p>\n Canseco is no stranger to the city of Pittsburg, as this is his third year suiting up for the Diamonds. He states that his favorite part of being back in the East Bay is being able to be around the young players the Diamonds house. <\/p>\n I try to help them out with all aspects of the game, Canseco said. A lot of players actually recommend coming out to Pittsburg to play so Im really excited for this weekend. <\/p>\n The Diamonds have been part of the Pacific Association of Professional Baseball Clubs since their inaugural season in 2014 when they were named the Pittsburg Mettle. In 2015 when ownership switched to hands of Khurram Shah, they commenced under the Diamonds brand paying homage to the team that played in the same area back in the 60s. <\/p>\n Shah wants everyone to be aware that Pittsburg is home to a minor league baseball team. Even if he brings Canseco out for a couple games, he hopes to generate life-long fans after this unique experience. <\/p>\n Were trying to build a fan base, Shah said. We want to see a repeat of people coming to ballpark consistently. <\/p>\n Pittsburg took two out of the three game series against the Vallejo Admirals during Cansecos weekend with the team, where the Diamonds improved to 11-9 on the season. <\/p>\n Shah highlights infielder Vinny Guglietti to be one of the top guys on the team. The Connecticut native is batting .420 with five homeruns and 27 RBIs. Wes Wallace is another player that makes a huge impact according to Shah as he is hitting .364 and five homeruns. Shah states Tyler Stirewalt is starting to showcase his pitching ability. Stirewalt has 1.92 ERA so far, this season. <\/p>\n The Diamondsnext home game is Tuesday night, June 27 at 6:30 p.m., to begin another three-game series also against the Admirals.
