Birds released to the Delta behind Vintage Parkway School in Oakley

Second Graders from Vintage Parkway School in Oakley had the chance to see two birds released into the Delta last week. The birds, a black heron and a green heron, were rescued by the International Bird Rescue Research Center out of Fairfield and were released with the help of East Bay Regional Park District.

Welcome to Oakley Now

This is the blogspot for Roni Gehlke, columnist for the East County Times. I've been an Oakley resident for eighteen years. During that time I've worked with many groups and organizations, as well as written a weekly column for the East County Times and Brentwood- Oakley-Antioch News newspapers. The focus of my column is all about Oakley, California. I cover everything from City Hall, the business community, clubs and organizations and the community at large. Along with the columns I have a regular weekly feature on East County Businesses in the News newspapers where I write about new and existing businesses and restaurants from Discovery Bay, Brentwood, Byron, Knightsen, Bethel Island, Oakley and Antioch. I also write local interest stories for the papers as a corespondent. I'm always looking for interesting local stories. The subject matter must be Oakley, California, so please don't bother sending me information about outside of my area. I won't be able to write about it no matter how interesting the subject matter. Check out some of my recent columns and stories and get a flavor of our small Far East Bay community.
