Jeff Pico, 1984 Antioch High School Graduate, New Cincinnati Reds Pitching Coach
Although officially unconfirmed by the Cincinnati Reds organization, the Cincinnati Enquirer newspaper reported recently that Antioch High 1984 graduate and Antioch Sports Legends 2010 inductee JEFF PICO has been hired as the Cincinnati Reds' new pitching coach.
Pico was a pitcher for Antioch High's North Coast Section winning baseball team, which was just inducted in October into the Antioch Sports Legend Hall of Fame. Pico was drafted by the Chicago Cubs out of high school. Ironically, his Major League Baseball pitching debut on May 31, 1988 was a 4-hit shutout of the Reds, becoming the first time a rookie player pitched a shutout in a debut game since 1934.
Pico played for 13 seasons professionally, and has spent the last 10 years with the Arizona Diamondbacks as a coach for their farm team pitchers.
Congratulations, Jeff!

Feelin' Groovy @ Lone Tree Golf & Event Center
The Feelin' Groovy Dinner Show was looking very groovy last Friday night. We are fortunate to have venue in town that can accommodate 300 people so very well.
I was watching Matthew Schuler sing 'Beneath Your Beautiful' on the VOICE the other night and became troubled. I knew I had heard that melody before. It bothered me that I couldn't think of the band or the name of the song. Can you guess the song? Two days later I figured it out whew. I'll tell you near the bottom of the page.

The Dow Chemical Company Hosts Annual Site Emergency Drill
Dow Partners with Contra Costa County Emergency Services for Exercise
PITTSBURG, CA – (November 11, 2013) – Dow Pittsburg Operations hosted its yearly CAER (Community Awareness & Emergency Response) Drill yesterday morning from 9:00 – 11:00 AM. Over 400 participants, including 75 emergency responders, engaged in a staged scenario to test the ability of employees, critical personnel, and public emergency services to mobilize, communicate, and coordinate for a crisis situation as safely and effectively as possible. The simulation also evaluated the dissemination of information to the public by engaging community volunteers to call in to a phone bank in multiple languages as local residents or interview public information officers as mock media representatives. Community members also participated as observers, providing feedback to Dow from a civilian perspective. These frequent tests and the scrutinizing of their outcomes guarantees both Dow and county agencies are vigorously trained and prepared to address any possible incidents that might threaten the health and safety of employees or the public.

37th Annual Holiday Run & Walk
A few weeks ago my Facebook pal Frank Goodyear posted the photo above of the Holy Rosary Church, on "G" St. before 1966. There's a lot of interest in this church on the YOU REMEMBER ANTIOCH WHEN group. I was talking to a friend about this when she mentioned many of the stain glass windows are at a local restaurant being remodeled. I stopped by and the fellow running the job pulled this window out for me to take a photo of it. I'm looking for a confirmation this is one of the windows in the church. I've had one who said this came from the church but I need a few more to be sure. Anyone remember this?
Do you know the song? It was the "B" side on the single WILD THING by the TROGGS 1967. The song... LOVE IS ALL AROUND it was nice to hear it again 46 years later.
