State scraps WaterFix
An evening to remember
May 10, 2019
Boating On The Delta
by Tony Kukulich Staff Writer
Last week, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration took action to kill the controversial WaterFix project — also known as the Twin Tunnels — and directed state resources to consider a single-tunnel plan as part of a suite of long-term solutions to California’s water issues. A press release issued by the California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) stated that the move to a single tunnel is in response to Newsom’s direction to modernize the state’s water delivery infrastructure. “A smaller project, coordinated with a wide variety of actions to strengthen existing levee protections, protect Delta water quality, recharge depleted groundwater reserves and strengthen local water supplies across the state, will build California’s water see WaterFix page 22A

he Unified Prom came to downtown Brentwood last weekend, and the community came out to make it a night to remember. The event for life skills students in the Liberty Union High School District was held on Saturday, May 4, at the Brentwood Community Center, and was sponsored by the school district and the Brentwood and Oakley police departments. The fun-filled event had a Star Wars theme and began with a parade through the downtown area, where students were driven down First Street in donated luxury vehicles and carriages.

City approves limited use of golf carts by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer
Summerset and Trilogy residents have a new, convenient way to legally travel from their homes to nearby commercial businesses at the corner of Fairview Avenue and Balfour Road. The Brentwood City Council recently approved the use of golf carts on designated city sidewalks to ease travel for residents of the active senior communities. “This is a big deal, an exciting opportunity,” said Brentwood Vice Mayor Joel Bryant. Golf carts will now be allowed on Fairview Avenue sidewalks, from Balfour Road to

The Summerset 1 and 2 communities, north of Balfour, can use the existing golf cart bridge, which allows them access to Fairview Avenue upon exiting the structure, Public Works Director Miki Tsubota said.

considered legal golf cart routes. “This has been years in the making,” Taylor said. Sidewalks along the newly designated areas are specifically equipped to accommodate dual use by pedestrians and carts, with paths on both sides of Vineyards Parkway originally built ten feet wide---roughly five feet wider than standard sidewalks--and the existing sidewalk along the west side of Fairview Avenue subsequently widened from five to 10 feet years ago. “You can’t just use golf carts on any sidewalk,” said Tsubota. “It needs to be properly engineered and designed, and you want to make sure it is see Golf Carts page 22A

The City of Brentwood unveiled its newest addition to the community Saturday morning with the official welcoming of the community gazebo in downtown’s City Park. Two years in the making, the gazebo was christened by residents, local officials and city workers as an Travis Air Force Base band serenaded the celebration. Mayor Bob Taylor hailed the contributions of a legion of donors, including local contractor and native son Mike Lescure, as well as the Plumbers and Pipefitters, Sheetmetal
Mission City Rebar, Albert Seeno II, Discovery Builders, David Gutridge, Legacy Framers, Cemcon, Bob Lilley and Contra Costa Electric. Lescure estimated the cost of the materials topped $350,000, including the decorative copper roof. “We’ve already lined up six weddings,” Taylor said. Local resident Johnny Staton performed the national anthem and Brentwood’s Poet Laureate Kati Short penned a new verse in honor of the event. Girl Scouts handed out American flags, cake and root beer as the Brentwood Concert Band took the stage to provide more entertainment.

Paint, sip and protect local farmland by Aly Brown Correspondent
Area residents can soon sip, paint and socialize in support of local farmland during an upcoming fundraiser event. On June 6, officials from the California Farmland Trust — Charlotte Mitchell, executive director, and Melanee Cottrill, associate director — will make a toast and dip their paint brushes with local attendees during the Wine Stems Paint & Sip for a Cause event, to be held at Hannah Nicole Vineyard from 6-9 p.m. “The painting will be led by Lindsey from Pinot’s Palette,” said Cottrill. She is a lot of fun. The painting is suitable for anyone; no prior painting experience is needed. Once attendees are checked in, they’ll be seated and given their supplies to paint.
Lindsey will then walk everyone through the painting step-by-step.” Funds raised from the event will go directly toward efforts supporting the conservation of area farmlands led by the California Farmland Trust, formed last April as a successor to the Brentwood Agricultural Land Trust. Upon its formation, the trust developed a mission to help farmers “protect the best farmland in the world,” a claim substantiated by figures that showcase the U.S. as one of the top four food-producing countries in the world, with California ranking well above the other 49 states for many fruits, nuts and grains, according to Investopedia. “All proceeds will benefit farmland protection throughout the Central Valley,” said Cottrill. “We work to ensure that our farmland remains farmland and is not developed … Over the years, we have protected 1,340
acres of farmland on 11 farms surrounding Brentwood.” The trust’s latest efforts in the Brentwood area have also revolved around nurturing a love of agriculture in young students by sponsoring field trips for area schools to First Generation Farmers, through its “Raley’s Field Trips on the Farm” program. “The need to protect vital farmland that is producing our world’s food supply and contributes to the state’s economy with over $50 billion annually in farm gate sales of agricultural goods, is paramount,” said Mitchell. “Our work in 2019 is promising, as we work with family farmers who want to protect the best farmland in the world. We hope the community will join us to protect the farms that feed their families.” Cottrill further noted the host winery happens to sit on one of the trust’s protected
farmlands, meaning it will never become a strip of tract homes, and will forever retain its agricultural heritage. “We are very excited to be able to hold the event on a protected property and demonstrate the permanent results of our work,” Cottrill said. “We look forward to hosting the Brentwood community, and appreciate their support in the effort to protect the farmland that gives Brentwood food, a clear view of Mount Diablo, and many environmental benefits like wildlife habitat and carbon sequestration.” Tickets for the paint night also include one glass of wine and appetizers, and guests are encouraged to dress comfortably, as it will be an outdoor event.

Concert band to host benefit dinner by Dawnmarie Fehr Correspondent
The Brentwood Concert Band (BCB) will host its inaugural Music and Morsels Benefit on May 18 at Tess’ Community Farm Kitchen. Carey Hurst, conductor of the BCB, is also president of the Brentwood Music Foundation, the band’s nonprofit support organization. She said the benefit is to raise both funds and awareness for the musical group.
“We are doing this to promote the band,” said Hurst. “We don’t have a consistent rehearsal site ... so we are looking for an audience and support.” The BCB includes musicians of all ages, and performs at many local community events for the city of Brentwood and other nonprofits. Travis Martin, percussionist and treasurer, said he and his fellow band members just want to reach out to the community and be a positive force for music in East County.
“We are the right mix in terms of talent and opportunity that came together,” Martin explained. “We perform at many events and bring — at a reasonable cost — music talent that these events would not otherwise have.” When the BCB was formed by Bruce Stuart in 2005, Brentwood had not had a band since the late 1800s. Hurst said she hopes the community will come out to support their local musicians’ endeavor to bring music to the many events in their area. The Brentwood Concert Band’s in-

Antioch Council approves cannabis dispensary use permit by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer
Antioch’s first cannabis dispensary and delivery service is now a budding reality after city leaders recently approved its use permit. The proposed One Plant cannabis dispensary and delivery service, which must still complete a handful of requirements before opening, is expected to occupy the former Goodwill building at 2701 W. 10th St., and sell only retail cannabis, vape pens, vape pen batteries and chargers, which are used to administer cannabis concentrates. It will also offer a cannabis product delivery service, beginning with one unmarked vehicle. The One Plant brand is the globally recognized Serruya family’s California rollout of its retail cannabis brand. “Of the dispensaries out there, they are one of the highest class ones,” said Antioch Mayor Sean Wright. The company, slated to operate seven days a week and open as soon as six to seven months, will only utilize about 5,000-square feet of the 17,000 square foot building for its retail operation, with the remaining space possibly used for manufacturing or distribution elements in the future, Hester said. It expects to serve about 300 to 400 people daily, and generate at least $3 to $5 million yearly in the beginning and up to $10 to $12 million once marketing efforts take hold, One Planet representative Chris Hester said.

around it,” she said. Aside from strict facility security, it’s expected onsite cannabis smoking and ingestion will be prohibited, and the company will ensure cannabis odor isn’t detected on the premises. The company will also need to gain city approval to begin selling additional items beyond those already proposed or if it wishes to modify the building beyond internal tenet improvements. Dr. Jeffery Klinger, one of only a couple public speakers and the only one cautious of the city’s actions, reminded the council the stipulations it places on One Plant will set a precedent for similar future businesses. “The community agreement, make it a good one,” Klinger said, referring to a development agreement the city and One Plant officials will finalize which could include the project’s rules, regulations, commitments and policies prior to the facility opening. “The reality is the genie is out of the bottle now,” he said. “We are going to be selling cannabis in Antioch. With the genie out of the bottle, lets make sure we get our three wishes so these businesses contribute to this community and not become a detriment.” Once open, the store plans to operate 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday.

Carbon monoxide poisoning is a preventable tragedy My heart just about broke while I was watching the news the other night. There was a story about an entire family who perished in their home from carbon monoxide poisoning. The story Senior stayed with me for orner days. I could hardly imagine such a devastating tragedy, and it could have been avoided. More than 400 Americans die from carbon monoxide poisoning each year, while Marla 20,000 people Luckhardt go the ER with symptoms — 4,000 of whom end up being hospitalized. We all have smoke detectors in our homes — at least I hope everyone does — but does everybody have a carbon monoxide detector, as well? This lethal gas is colorless, odorless and is known as a silent killer. When someone is exposed to excess amounts of carbon monoxide, it builds up in their bloodstream and starts replacing oxygen. This results in serious damage, unconsciousness and even death. There’s no warning and it can overcome you in a relatively short period of time. When you’re asleep, it will not wake you up.

All homes should have carbon monoxide detectors to help protect the residents. Homeowners can usually contact their local fire department, who can check the levels in their home to make sure they are not excessive. There are many signs of carbon monoxide poisoning. As the cells in your body are being deprived of oxygen, your brain suffers, causing confusion. Not being able to understand what’s going on or how to complete simple tasks may seem like a normal senior moment, but if you are being exposed to carbon monoxide, you could be suffering real damage from the fumes. Other symptoms can include dizziness, labored breath, dull headaches, nausea and seizures in more severe cases. Our bodies need oxygen everywhere, and when the carbon monoxide replaces it, the body and all of the organs react. If not treated, they will eventually shut down. The eyes demand a lot of oxygen, so when oxygen becomes depleted, vision problems occur. As less oxygen gets moved throughout the body, it becomes harder to breathe. The best ways to prevent this silent-but-deadly gas is to get a carbon monoxide detector, but they’re not all created equal. It’s important
“ All homes should have carbon monoxide detectors to help protect the residents. Homeowners can usually contact their local fire department, who can check the levels in their home to make sure they are not excessive.
”
to know what features to look for to ensure you’re choosing the best model to protect your family. Look online and check with Consumer Reports, as well. The brands that seem to pop up more often are Nest, First Alert and Kidde, but do read up on all of them. Check functions and price. There should be one in each hallway that leads to a bedroom. And be sure to check the batteries each time you check your smoke detectors — at least twice a year. If the alarm sounds, leave the house immediately and call 911 or the fire department. Carbon monoxide detectors are also available for motorhomes and boats. There are several that combine both smoke and carbon monoxide detection.

Prevention includes some common sense, like never running your car inside the garage without the door wide open. Not only is it an immediate carbon monoxide danger in the garage, but it can also leak into your home. Never use a gas stove or oven to heat your home. Use portable gas camp stoves outdoors only. Fuelburning space heaters should be monitored, keeping doors or windows open a little to provide fresh air. Never run a generator in an enclosed space, such as the basement or garage. Ask your utility company about yearly checkups for all gas appliances, including your furnace. Make sure your fireplace is clean and in good repair by having it checked and serviced yearly. When working with chemical solvents at home, use them only outdoors or in well-ventilated areas. Carefully read the instructions and follow the safety precautions on the labels. One last tip. When traveling, bring a carbon monoxide detector with you. Most hotels have them, but it’s a good precaution to take one with you, just in case. Grandpa always brings ours. That and his nightlight!

Victim in fatal Brentwood accident identified Driver arrested on suspicion of felony DUI by Tony Kukulich Staff Writer
Jan Kristian Gyllstrom, 46, from Concord, was arrested May 6, on suspicion of felony DUI following a head-on collision in Brentwood that claimed the life of a 51-year-old man from Ripon. The victim was identified as Jose Munos Padilla by the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff Coroner’s Division. According to a social media post by the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the accident occurred Monday, May 6, around 4:30 p.m. on Highway 4 east of Balfour Road. CHP officials stated Gyllstrom was headed west in a 2018 Honda SUV when he crossed into oncoming traffic and collided with Munos Padilla,
who was traveling east in a 2013 Toyota Corolla. There was a single occupant in each vehicle. “One person did not go to the hospital,” said East Contra Costa Fire Protection District Battalion (ECCFPD) Chief Craig Auzenne. “One person died at the scene.” An off-duty Antioch police officer happened upon the accident scene and, according to Auzenne, was in the Toyota doing CPR on Munos Padilla when ECCFPD Engine 59 arrived. After paramedics arrived, the driver was pronounced dead and extricated from the wreckage. Highway 4 was closed in both directions from Balfour Road to Marsh Creek Road for approximately two hours as fire and police operations were underway. Gyllstrom was not injured in the accident and was arreste d after an investigation for suspicion of DUI. He was later released on $150,000 bail. CHP is requesting that anyone who witnessed the accident, or the events leading up to it, contact Contra Costa CHP in Martinez at 925-646-4980.

RENT CONTROL PROPOSAL
It’s common knowledge the California has a housing affordability issue that is just getting worse. As home prices have rebounded the last few years, rents have also risen dramatically. For most people, these increases have been greater than their increases in income, which is putting a serious squeeze on their household budget. It’s exasperating for people who make “a good income” to not be able to even rent a home in the Bay Area. One idea that is coming back in vogue is rent control. This is where the government sets limits on how much the rent can be and/ or for how much a landlord can increase rent from one year to the next. There was a recent bill proposing very strict statewide rent controls in California that was just withdrawn, it’s sponsors said it needed more work. Another smaller-scale rent control bill is working it’s way through the process that aims to limit rent increases to 5% per year plus the increase in the Consumer Price Index. Proponents of rent control say that “something must be done” to rein in
skyrocketing rents and to keep people from being evicted and eventually even winding up homeless. Opponents say that rent control will have the unintended consequence of making the rental situation worse. They say that rent control will lead to fewer available rentals because builders will build fewer rental units, new investors may not buy rentals and even some existing landlords may sell their units. Rent control supporters say these fears are overblown and point to cities like New York City that has had rent controls for decades. Most landlords are obviously against rent control and think they should be able to charge what the market will bear. One thing I’m sure of is that we are going to hear a LOT more about rent control while the housing affordability problem exists in California.

Thank you for a successful event
Editor: On behalf of the Leadership class of Liberty High School, I would like to thank the Brentwood community and some very outstanding local businesses and individuals for their support of this year’s Mr. Liberty competition. The show, held on April 19, 2019, raised over $4,300 for the Mr. Liberty Scholarship fund, the proceeds of which go to Liberty students who have shown extraordinary leadership, or who have overcome difficult situations over their last four years. I would like to publicly thank: Brentwood Florist & Gifts has consistently been a huge support to the Liberty Leadership program, generously donating flowers for Homecoming, Liberty Idol and Mr. Liberty over the last decade. We were able to honor the evening’s winner, technical crew and organizers with beautiful floral donations from Brentwood Florists & Gifts. They truly exemplify what it means to give back to one’s community. We would also like to thank the following businesses for their donation of gifts for the various winners within the Mr. Liberty competition. As a result of their donations, we were able to donate all funds raised to the scholarship fund. Thank you to: Big House Beans, Cinelux Delta Cinema, Harvest Park Bowl, Mt. Mike’s Pizza, QuickStop, Togos, and Yogurt Pizazz. The winners surely appreciation your generosity! The following individuals helped to ensure the success of Mr. Liberty 2019. Without their hard work, support and diligence, we would not have had such a positive event. Thank you to: Hanna Burns, Ava Partida, Delaney Sorenson, Abby Warner and Ashley Zeigler, who choreographed and taught the group dance; and the Mr. Liberty technical crew, including: Molly Brodowski, Payton Homer, Gabby Carreon, Jordan Walters, Logan Maher, Sammy Taylor, Tate Watkins-Nelson, Caden Lewis, Emily Eaton, Thomas Sudweeks, Morgan Rajala, Beki Rivera and Olivia Tse! Mr. Liberty has been around for over 25 years and has only been able to do so with the support of the Brentwood community and Brentwood businesses. I cannot thank them enough for their generosity of spirit, but I am truly grateful. Summer Rodriguez Brentwood

Shouldering the load
Editor: As anyone who drives through Brentwood may have noticed, the city has implemented a program to promote safe driving through our city. ‘Obey the Sign or Pay the Fine’ lists the fines associated with various traffic infractions. It is a reminder that we have a responsibility, as licensed drivers, to obey the law and make the trip through our city safe for drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians. But, this burden of responsibility is not only to be laid upon the shoulders of drivers; it should also be shared by our city government. This trek through our city is often an exercise in mind-numbing frustration, as it is common to have to stop at every traffic signal on our major thoroughfares. A good example is the abundance of traffic signals on Balfour between Highway 4 and Foothill, (which has) five signals in about a quarter mile that seem to be timed so drivers are forced to stop at every signal, even during very light traffic conditions. Do others notice while driving along a main street, a vehicle trips the pad on a side street, and immediately stops 50 vehicles on the main street to allow this one driver to proceed? Or the seeming eternity spent parked in the left turn lanes? This mismanagement of the traffic flow is responsible for two major problems. First, the aggravation that drivers experience during this ‘tour of the red lights’ encourages people to take dangerous chances by speeding, running ‘orange’ lights and rolling through right turns on red. Secondly, the shear volume of idling vehicles at these red lights surely contributes to our climate change problems. I encourage all residents to voice their concerns to our city leaders. Brentwood uses the same computerized traffic flow system used by other cities. Antioch, for example, synchronizes the traffic signals on Hillcrest to flow at 45 mph. This allows traffic to efficiently flow with minimal stops, less frustration and much less idling to help improve our environment. Why can’t Brentwood do the same on our main streets? If the City of Brentwood is truly concerned with safety, and if we want to be leaders in the fight to slow climate change, then the recommendation to synchronize our traffic signals should be seriously considered. Otherwise, ‘Pay the Fine’ is simply a program to collect more revenue from residents. Dan MacGregor Brentwood

In 1993, Brentwood actor and director Steve Kinsella received two call backs for the lead role of Jean Val Jean in the Broadway production of “Les Misérables.” Though he did not make the final cut, Kinsella has been intrigued by the show ever since, hoping to direct it himself someday. This month, he gets his chance. From May 17 through 25, Kinsella’s Brentwood Teen Theater (BTT) will tackle this show as part of their 15th anniversary season and Kinsella is excited to finally bring it to his own stage. “I feel the show is a melodious telling of a complicated tale in a uncomplicated way through the sheer genius of the composers,” said Kinsella. All BTT teachers are award-winning professionals; no high school or college students direct or choreograph. “One of the things we teach at BTT is singing on the breath, that is to say, the singers do not use nor need body microphones to be heard in the back of the arena,” said Kinsella. “We are proud to have many great voices in our current talent

Helping to Address Brentwood’s Fire Safety Problems
Brentwood voters currently have the opportunity to sign a petition in support of the Vineyards at Deer Creek, a low impact new community that would facilitate millions of dollars in new revenue for public services in Brentwood, including fire protection and emergency response.
Millions of Dollars in Dedicated Funding for East Contra Costa Fire If approved, the Vineyards at Deer Creek will provide badly needed funding to the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District. While this funding wouldn’t address the entire fire district deficit, it would help ensure our fire district is better funded and able to more quickly respond in the case of a 911 emergency.
Tackling Other Key Issues, Like Traffic and Job Creation The Vineyards at Deer Creek would also fund key road improvements to increase traffic flow, including extending American Avenue and widening Balfour Road, all while providing hundreds of long-term construction jobs.

Liberty stunt cheer A fabulous Falcon falls in close state championship game by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer
Brentwood’s Liberty High School and Lincoln, California’s Lincoln High School competitive sport cheer teams weren’t alone in jumping and flipping during the state championship. The game’s momentum joined in as well. Second-seed Lincoln stormed back from a 7-0 late-second-quarter deficit to stun fifth-seed Liberty, 12-11 in overtime. “I don’t think that ending a championship game in a tie and then a tiebreaker is ideal, but we have to accept the outcome and move on,” said Liberty head coach Wendy Gilfoy. Lincoln, who won the overtime coin flip and thus, got to choose the deciding routine, went on to secure the one overtime point, setting off a wild celebration. But the Zebras’ come-from-behind triumph actually started much earlier, with the team winning 12 of the match’s final 16 points to steal victory from the Lions’ grasps.
“We are in awe and are truly amazed by what this team has accomplished, not only yesterday, but throughout the entire stunt season,” Lincoln team officials said in a statement released by the team. “To be able to attend the state championships and make it through to day two was an amazing experience, but to then walk away with the first ever Lincoln High School state champion title was phenomenal.” Liberty (21-4) swept the four firstquarter rounds (partner stunts) and three of the four second-quarter rounds (pyramids and tosses) to take what appeared to be a commanding 7-0 lead, but Lincoln scored the next eight points — from the fourth second-quarter round through the first fourth-quarter round (team routine) — to pull in front 8-7 early in the fourth quarter. The two squads were deadlocked at 10 after the second of three fourth-quarter rounds and 11 at the end of the third, after Liberty secured the partner stunt point of see Stunt page 15A

Heritage boys’ volleyball team loses in NCS semis by Kyle Szymanski
Heritage senior James Townsend prepares to hit the ball during the Patriots’ 25-23, 2527, 25-15, 25-19 loss to Amador Valley in the North Coast Section semifinals Tuesday night.
Staff Writer
Brentwood’s Heritage High School boys volleyball team gave host Amador Valley High School a good test in the North Coast Section (NCS) semifinals Tuesday night. But the second-seed Dons had the answers in a 2523, 25-27, 25-15, 25-19 victory to advance to the NCS championship against top-seed Monte Vista. “Their team was really talented, with some good height and blocking,” said Heritage head coach Janet Hannigan. The Patriots’ loss ends an otherwise magical 29-4 season, reaching the NCS semifinals for the first time in program history, racking up a team-high number of wins, winning their first two tournaments (the NorCal Tournament and East County Invitational) in school history and winning the Bay Valley Athletic League title for the second straight season. But in a round-robin postseason tournament featuring elite competition, the margin for error is slim. After the squads split the opening two sets — which included a dazzling Heritage comeback to steal the second — Amador Valley (26-7, 15-3 in the East Bay Athletic League) slowly wore down the Patriots, closing the third set on a 12-5 run after the teams were knotted at 13. Amador Valley never surrendered their fourth-set lead after a four-all tie. Heritage did, however, manage to squeak out a set win and kept the match close all night. In the sets the Dons won, they led by no more than

four in the first set, six in the third and seven in the fourth. And in the second set, where Heritage emerged 27-25, the Patriots took care of business, albeit waiting until it was almost too late. Amador Valley, already up a set, jumped out to a 19-10 lead, but Heritage roared back, closing on a 17-6 run to steal a 27-25 victory and even up the match at one. The Patriots led 11-10 in the ensuing third set, but
Amador Valley never relinquished the lead after going up 13-12 — although the Dons’ advantage didn’t rise above three until late in the set, when they opened a 2016 advantage. “We were on cloud nine,” said Heritage senior James Townsend of their thrilling, second-set, come-from-besee Volleyball page 17A

the final regulation round. Lincoln nabbed the jumps and tumbling point, and no pyramids-and-tosses points were awarded. “We knew they were a strong jumpsand-tumbling team, so that quarter would be a challenge. But we felt like we could still hold on with our partner stunts, and pyramids and tosses,” Gilfoy said. Moments after the close loss, Gilfoy admitted she wasn’t sure if she completely agreed with the judging, but chose to focus on the Lions’ successful campaign, in only their second season. Liberty shared the Bay Valley Athletic League title with Freedom High School before advancing all the way to the North
Coast Section championship game, but then succumbed 13-12 to the Falcons. The underdog Lions upset fourthseed Woodcreek 15-7 in the state championship opening round, and defeated top-seed Santiago 13-10 to advance to the championship game. “Every step of the way we asked them to be the best version of themselves and that is exactly what they did today and every game,” Gilfoy said. “I couldn’t ask for anything more.” The Lions, who began the season with 21 members, figure to be a force next season, and are expected to return with all but five athletes. “We are just going to keep building on

what we have done already,” Gilfoy said. FREEDOM Lincoln knocked off third-seed Freedom 16-7 in the semifinals prior to edging Liberty. Lincoln jumped out to a 9-2 lead early in the third quarter, and largely never looked back. The Falcons (19-2) drew no closer than five points the rest of the game. “We made a couple of critical mistakes. You have to eliminate them,” said Freedom coach Sandra Torres, who noted the team did better than expected with its tumbling, when Freedom split with Lincoln to pull within 11-6. Lincoln led 4-1 after the first quarter,

7-2 at halftime and 9-4 at the end of three quarters, spoiling the Falcons first state tournament appearance. Freedom defeated sixth-seed Temescal Canyon 12-8 in the first round of the tournament.

LUHSD schools dominate BVAL track, field by Kyle Szymansk Staff Writer
Oakley’s Freedom High School boys’ track and field squad blazed past the competition, straight into the record books during the Bay Valley Athletic League track and field championships, last week at Antioch High School. The Falcons captured their first team title ever, racking up 114 team points ahead of Pittsburg (112.5), Heritage (110) and Liberty (66). “It feels great. The kids worked really hard,” said Freedom head coach Glenn Briggs. “We didn’t have one particular person dominating.” Senior Giovanni Larrea led the way, winning the 300-meter hurdles, long jump and triple jump events — three of Freedom’s six individual event victories. He broke a school record in the triple jump with a 43-foot, 10-inch effort to go along with top performances in the 300-meter hurdles (41.83) and the long jump (21-11 1/4 inches). Liberty senior Aaron Timmons (434) finished second in the triple jump, with Pittsburg junior Jonzi Smith trailing Larrea in the 300-meter hurdles (42.10) and Heritage junior Travis Simmons (21-7 1/2) coming in second in the long jump. Not to be outdone, the Falcons’ junior Jacob Hawkins etched his name in the school record books with a 159-10 winning throw of the discus. Pittsburg se-
nior John Maka (154-4) finished second. Freedom’s other two male event winners were senior Hunter Heuer (11 feet) in the pole vault and senior Ololade Ogunyale (6-4) in the high jump. Heritage sophomore Ethan Grajo finished second in the pole vault with a 10-6 effort, and Antioch junior Ahmon Jones (6 feet) collected a second-place finish in the high jump. Other notable top finishers among the Freedom boys included the 4x400meter relay team (Aaron Roman, Iyan Godwin, Ethan Langendorff and Cullen Davis), who nabbed second place with a 3:31.01 second-place finish, and a host of third-place finishers, including Davis (52:27 in the 400 meter), Godwin (2:00.06 in the 800 meter), sophomore Joesiah Kriston (10:25.74 in the 3200 meter), sophomore Jaden Cortero (10-6) in the pole vault and Ogunyale (44.59 in the 300-meter hurdles). “It was an overall team effort,” Briggs said. “Gio definitely stands out, but it was definitely a team effort.” Meanwhile, Heritage made some noise in the girls’ team competition, securing its first team title since 2014. The Patriots (146 points) bested Pittsburg (131.5) and Liberty (77.5). Heritage secured the top spots in the five competitions: the 400 meters, 4x400-meter relay and the triple, long and high jump competitions. Senior Jenna Walton blew past the
completion in the 400 meters, winning in 1:1.14, while the Patriots’ 4x400-meter team emerged victorious in 4:15.14. Meanwhile, in the field events, senior Kidest Befikadu won the high jump (51), sophomore Katherine Reid (16-8 3/4) captured the long jump, and sophomore Veronica Metodieva (33-7 1/2) conquered the triple jump. Fellow Patriot Kaya Scott, a freshman, finished second in the 400 meters in 1:1.26; Pittsburg captured second place in the 4x400-meter race in 4:21.66 seconds; Heritage junior Mariah Lang notched up second in the high jump with a 4-5 effort; Metodieva (16-5) finished second in the long jump; and Deer Valley senior Desjonique Unubun (33-3) ended in second in
the triple jump. Other top Heritage finishers included senior Ingrid Neukirchen, second in the 200 meters in 26.18 and third in the 100 meters in 12.29; freshmen Lauren Lane ( 2:32.15) and Sabrina Rogers (2:32.44), finishing second and third in the 800 meters; the 4x100 meters team, claiming second in 49.98; Rogers, ending in third in the 3,200 meters in 12:59.79; and Reid, finishing third in the triple jump with 32-4. Varsity athletes who placed in the top four in their events automatically qualified for the North Coast Section Tri-Valley Area meet, scheduled for Saturday, May 11, at Dublin High School, beginning at 8:30 a.m.

Heritage Baptist girls’ take league title The Antioch-based Heritage Baptist Academy girls’ volleyball team recently won the California Athletic League title for the second year in a row. The squad won its first league tournament match 3-0, sending the team to the league tournament championship. The squad lost its first league championship game match , but came back to win the next three to clinch the title again.
The team is coached by Robbie Fithian and Ginny Logan. “The season got off to a slow start,” said a team coach. “Despite some disappointments early in the season, the girls worked hard in practice and played better each game. They worked their way back to a position that gave them a chance to play for first place in the league championship.”

Volleyball from page 14A hind victory, adding that in the ensuing set, the team was ready, “but I think we came in a little too high. I think that got us a little too amped up.” Amador Valley opened the deciding fourth set on a 13-7 run and maintained a five- to seven-point advantage the rest of the way en route to victory. Despite the loss, Heritage was showered with praise for its wonderful season, beginning first with a host of fans giving the squad a loud round of applause. “I don’t have much to hang my head about,” said Townsend, reflecting on the
team’s achievements after the loss. Hannigan expressed similar sentiments. She noted that the squad’s personalities and fighting spirit made it fun to coach all season long. “That has been really special,” she said. “It makes it fun to go to practice every day. I hope the future generations at Heritage learn boys volleyball is something special.” Results of Amador Valley’s matchup with Monte Vista were not available as of press time.

SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, (cashier’s check(s) must be made payable to National Default Servicing Corporation), drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state; will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below. The sale will be made in an “as is” condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. Trustor: Arieana Bell, a single woman, and Inno Shaw, an unmarried man, as joint tenants. Duly Appointed Trustee: National Default Servicing Corporation Recorded 12/28/2017 as Instrument No. 2017-0243773-00 (or Book, Page) of the Official Records of Contra Costa County, California. Date of Sale: 06/03/2019 at 9:00 AM Place of Sale: Pleasant Hill Community Center, Auction.com Room, 320 Civic Drive, Pleasant Hill, CA 94523 Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $510,091.69 Street Address or other common designation of real property: 248 Coolcrest Dr, Oakley, CA 94561 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The requirements of California Civil Code Section 2923.5(b)/2923.55(c) were fulfilled when the Notice of Default was recorded. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site www.ndscorp.com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case 19-00104-CECA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

supply resilience,” said Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot. Both opponents and proponents of WaterFix were quick to weigh in on the project’s demise. “I feel great,” said Michael Brodsky, attorney for Save the California Delta Alliance, a Discovery Bay-based organization that has opposed the twin tunnels project since its inception. “It’s another victory for us. We’ve been fighting it and fighting it and keeping the heat on them. The war is not over, but we won a big battle.” The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) withdrew its proposed permits related to WaterFix, effectively scrapping the project that’s been in the works for more than a decade and has cost at least $280 million to date, though some sources say that figure is much higher. While Newsom avoided taking a firm position on WaterFix as a candidate for governor, he used his first State of the State address to clarify that he favored a single-tunnel plan over the twin tunnels. The future of WaterFix has been on unsure footing since that address in February, and the announcement last week sealed its fate. Signaling a new direction in water policy, Newsom issued an executive order on April 29 establishing the water resilience portfolio, and directing his administration to inventory and assess a wide range of water-related challenges and solutions, including a single-tunnel Delta conveyance plan, climate change and accessibility to safe drinking water.
“California’s water challenges are daunting, from severely depleted groundwater basins to vulnerable infrastructure to unsafe drinking water in far too many communities,” said Newsom in the press release related to the executive order. “Climate change magnifies the risks. To meet these challenges, we need to harness the best in science, engineering and innovation to prepare for what’s ahead and ensure long-term water resilience and ecosystem health. We’ll need an all-of-the-above approach to get there.” While the state has acted definitively to pull the plug on WaterFix, little has been said regarding the state’s motivation for taking this action. Brodsky speculated that, among other factors, Newsom has an “honest desire to have an honest process,” as well as other more practical considerations. “I think it’s a combination of things,” said Brodsky. “I think the litigation was a catalyst. Our suits against the environmental impact report really showed that (it) was deeply flawed and it just wasn’t going to hold up in court. I think that’s one of the reasons they decided to go back to square one and start over.” California State Assemblymember Jim Frazier credited Newsom for reviewing the project with a fresh perspective. “I don’t think anybody could actually prove to the governor that (WaterFix) was a project of value,” said Frazier. “There was a huge myopic approach to this project from Southern California water interests. I think it resonated when we sat in a professional manner and said, ‘(For reasons) A, B, C

Michael Brodsky, attorney for Save the California Delta Alliance and D, it just doesn’t work.’” In April 2018, Karla Nemeth, director of DWR, proposed reducing WaterFix to a single tunnel as water agencies expected to cover the estimated $16.7 billion cost balked at the price tag. At the time, Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) increased their financial commitment to the project and agreed to finance nearly 65 percent of the cost to ensure two tunnels would get built. “By and large, we’re pleased to see that there is a firm commitment to getting to addressing conveyance through the Delta and building new infrastructure to deal with that,” said Jeffrey Kightlinger, MWD general manager. “Obviously, we thought the superior approach was the larger capacity. But we understand the governor’s direction and we’re acknowledging it and willing to work within the belief that the direction is that we’re going to build something, so that’s the important thing.” Kightlinger said he expects the new, single tunnel will have two intakes instead of three and be capable of carrying 50-60 percent of WaterFix’s planned capacity. A tunnel smaller than that would fail to deliver the economic benefits necessary to keep MWD engaged in the project. “If you get less than 50 percent of the capacity that was proposed, which is around 4,500 to 5,000 (cubic feet per second), if you get much smaller than that,

the value of the benefits drop off pretty rapidly compared to the cost,” explained Kightlinger. “... If you get much lower than that it becomes, frankly, not worth it to us, and we’d probably say, ‘If the state wants to go build it, good luck and godspeed. But we’re not directly participating.’” With the prospect of a single tunnel still looming in the future, Sacramento-based environmental attorney Osha Meserve acknowledged that the effort required to protect the Delta, its residents and its wildlife is far from over. “We continue to be concerned about any tunnels or diversions in the north Delta for all of the reasons that we laid out in water board and other processes,” said Meserve. “Even a single tunnel could do a lot of damage to the watershed and beneficial uses in the Delta … The footprint impacts, I think, stay quite similar.” Brodsky and Kightlinger both estimate that it will take about three years to complete an environmental impact report, and Kightlinger expects the process will kick off in the next 60 days with the state’s issuance of a notice of preparation (NOP) that will define the scope of the preferred project. “I think that if everything goes well, they could get an environment review done and get to the point of making a decision in three years,” Brodsky estimated. “What’s going to make it go faster rather than slower, and smoother rather than a rocky road, is just to be honest and have a transparent process. Don’t try to put your thumb on the scale to get a result. If they do that, people will cooperate and help them rather than throw up roadblocks.” For information on the water resilience portfolio, visit: http://resources. ca.gov/initiatives/water-resilience/.

But what happens when something goes awry? What if the boat drags the truck down the launch ramp, or the pontoon boat’s BBQ sends a spark to the canopy or the motorboat runs out of gas? It turns out, there are several local businesses able to help stranded boaters. According to the Discovery Bay Yacht Harbor, the so-called “bonehead boaters” (at whom locals love to laugh) may have a little trouble finding a tow company to pull them out of the water when they’ve slipped down the launch ramp. Most tow companies won’t attempt the feat due to liability issues. However, Lisa Black co-owns the Discovery Bay Chandlery at the yacht harbor with her husband, Dave, and says her business is willing and able to help. “When there’s an issue, the marina suggests us to the customer, and then the customer makes the choice,” Black said. “They generally go with us. We are the closest.” Black explained that if a vehicle has sunk, the first step is to put oil absorbent in the water. Then Dave will bring over a truck with a winch.
“He dives down, hooks it up and pulls it out,” Black said. “Unfortunately, it happens about twice a year ... It’s happened to people who are experienced as well as inexperienced.” If an issue comes up when boaters are out on the water, the Sheriff’s Marine Services Unit are a phone call away. Lt. David Cook said that he and his men are happy to help anyone in distress, but unless a boat is needed for evidentiary purposes, they’ll call a private boat tow company. “Generally speaking, if someone is stranded but still mechanically sound, we just assist them by calling Vessel Assist for them,” Cook said. “If there’s been an accident, then we will generally move it.” Vessel Assist is better known as TowBoatU.S. The Bethel Island-based company is run by four generations of the Delano family and has been in business since 1993. They service the San Francisco Bay and the Delta with 24-hour marine assistance. “We have five response vessels in the Delta,” said Audrey Delano, who works as a crew member on one of the vessels. The Discovery Bay Chandlery offers emergency tows, maintenance and repair on everything from jet skis to big diesel yachts. For more information, call 925-634-6178. TowBoatU.S. offers towing, ungrounding, jumpstarts, deliveries and salvages. For more information, call 925-684-2183 or visit https://www.towboatusdelta.com/.

Pacific Coast Water Rescue offers classes, aide DAWNMARIE FEHR
P
acific Coast Water Rescue (PCWR) was founded in 2012 to fill gaps left by budget cuts
in the local fire department. Founded by John Garza, the group offers emergency medical standby services at water-based events, as well as boating and CPR classes. Garza, a longtime Discovery Bay resident and firefighter, started with a handful of volunteers and one donated boat. The group has since grown to 12 members, including certified rescue swimmers, Coast Guard-licensed boat captains and one diver. “When local government budget cuts forced the end of water medical services, I saw all these water events with no safety boats,” Garza said. “So I thought I had to do something for safety. The event ON THE COVER: Daniel Gengler and John Garza of the Pacific Coast Water Rescue organization, pose with their 21-foot Zodiac rescue boat in Discovery Bay. Photo by Tony Kukulich

Daniel Gengler and John Garza are two of the 12-member crew that makes up the Pacific Coast Water Rescue group. The non-profit organization offers emergency medical standby services at water-based events, as well as boating and CPR classes. coordinators knew that I ran boats for the Fremont Fire Department, so we put something together.” In 2003, Garza helped create the Fremont Fire Department’s water rescue team. Using his background and training, Garza began training local first responders who volunteered to be part of PCWR. He also forged a partnership with Zodiac International, a manufacturer of inflatable rescue boats, through which PCWR may use their boats for safety services.
OPENING FOR SEASON ! Thursday, May 9th at 11am
Garza and fellow PCWR member Daniel Gengler recently picked up a new boat from the Zodiac dealership in Ventura. “They saw what we were doing on the Delta and started giving us boats to use,” Garza said. “They love that we help our community and teach firefighters. It’s a great partnership.” Last month, the group was able to offer their services to the participants of the Discovery Bay Triathlon. In the past, they’ve participated in multiple events,
CEL
including the Paddle for Fame event in Discovery Bay. Gengler has been a member of the group for three years and is one of PCWR’s rated rescue swimmers. As a firefighter for the River Delta Fire District, he feels the group is important to the safety of those living and playing on the Delta. “It’s important because it was our reaction to the budget cuts that eventually eliminated any water safety or water rescue in the Delta and Discovery Bay – and for all the events that are held here,” Gengler said. “(PCWR) started filling the gaps that would enable the community to keep having those events. We know all the local agencies are undermanned and overworked, and so we do what we can to help them out.” Gengler, who grew up in the area, said he and his fellow PCWR team members just want to have a positive impact on the community. Through PCWR, he’s currently working to create a water rescue program for his area’s fire district in the Isleton area. “We are training swimmers, we are teaching boating basics and we also got them a new inflatable rescue boat,” Gengler said. “We are doing what we can to help the Delta out.” see Rescue page 4B

The Northern California Boat Show is coming back to the Discovery Bay Marina June 7-9. Presented by the Discovery Bay Lions, the event has everything a boater needs, including accessories, boating apparel, harbor information and more. “For boaters looking to buy a boat, this is the last event of the year that they can get a significant discount on the boat of their choice,” said Glenn Hoffman, Discovery Bay Lions Club president and event organizer. “If you are already a boat owner or enthusiast, there will be many vendors displaying their products for your boats.” Attendees will be able to peruse new

live on Friday to kick off the event. All proceeds from the event will go toward Discovery Bay Lions’ local charities. “We donate to about 50 different local charities, including school, churches, sports programs and leadership programs,” said Hoffman. “We give largely to programs around youths, and my hope is we can make a difference in young people’s lives, making theirs just a little better.” The Lions are also supporting the blind, visually impaired and veterans. While this is the fourth annual Northern California Boat Show, event planners are hoping this will be the best yet. “We loved going to last year’s boat show,” said Discovery Bay resident Stefanie Lincoln. “There were a lot of brand new boats on display and different vendors. We ate and had drinks at the Boardwalk Grill afterwords, and it was such a fun day to spend with family and friends.” The Northern California Boat Show will be open Friday, June 7, from noon to 8 p.m., Saturday, June 8, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday, June 9, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

How to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning

oating is a rewarding hobby that allows people to spend ample time on the
water enjoying the great outdoors. Fresh air and boating might go hand in hand, but a danger may be lurking in
the air on or around boats that can put boaters’ health in jeopardy. According to the U.S. Coast Guard, (USCG) carbon monoxide (CO), can accumulate anywhere in or around a boat. Inadequately ventilated canvas enclosures and blocked exhaust outlets see Monoxide page 7B

Navigating the waters of boat ownership
B
Boats are significant investments, so it serves prospective owners well to be patient and exercise due diligence before making a purchase.
oating is a rewarding hobby that can be great for people from all walks of life. Many
people buy a boat because they already have a passion for fishing and want their own vessel to take out on the water. Others may buy a boat because they like the challenge posed by sailing. According to Grow Boating, a marine industry organization that aims to generate awareness and interest in boating, retail sales of new boats, marine engines and marine accessories in the United States totaled $20.1 billion in 2017. That marked a 9.5 percent increase from the year prior, highlighting the growing popularity of boating. In fact, Grow Boating notes that 141.6 million Americans went boating in 2016. The fun of boating compels many people to buy their own boats. For firsttimers, buying a boat can be both exciting and confusing. Prospective buyers must decide on everything from the type of vessel they want to the size of the boat to where to store it when they’re not out on the water. Such decisions can make the process of buying a boat somewhat intimidating. However, the following tips might facilitate the process of buying a boat for the first time. ♦♦ Assess your skills. An honest assessment of your skills will help you determine if the time is right to buy a boat. There’s no shame in waiting to buy a boat until you become more comfortable navigating it. Boating schools can be great resources for novices, teaching them the ins and outs of boating. The United States
experience, and those stories can serve as a guide as you begin your own journey to boat ownership. ♦♦ Be patient. Boats are significant investments, so it serves prospective owners well to be patient and exercise due diligence before making a purchase. Do your homework on the type of boat that best suits your needs, skill level and budget. ♦♦ Do your homework in regard to fees. The cost of owning a boat is more than just the sticker price and the cost of fuel. Much like you would before buying an automobile, get a quote on boating insurance before making a purchase, being as specific as possible in regard to the boat’s make, model and age when asking for an estimate. In addition, get quotes on docking and mooring fees. When buying a boat, people envision taking their boats out as much as possible. That’s only possible for boat owners who fully grasp the full cost of boat ownership and how to finance all of the ancillary expenses of owning a boat. The decision to buy a boat requires careful consideration of a host of factors to ensure boaters find the right boat and get the most of their time on the water. – Courtesy Metro Creative

boats that may suit their needs. Local marinas can be great resources for firsttime boat buyers. Visit a local marina and seek advice from current boat owners. Some may share their own travails and triumphs from their first boat-buying

Monoxide from page 5B are just two places where CO can accumulate. Exhaust also can get trapped in enclosed places, potentially leading to the accumulation of CO. Fortunately, the USCG notes that CO poisoning is entirely preventable. Routine maintenance and attentive boat ownership can protect boaters and their passengers from the threat posed by CO poisoning.
What are the dangers of CO poisoning? CO is produced when carbon-based fuels burn. Such fuels include gasoline, charcoal or oil, so boat engines are not the only potential source of CO poisoning on a boat. Gas generators, cooking ranges and space and water heaters also pose a threat. CO is dangerous because it can enter the bloodstream through the lungs, preventing the body from getting the oxygen it needs. The USCG notes that both prolonged exposure to low concentrations of CO or very quick exposure to high concentrations of CO can prove fatal.
What are symptoms of CO poisoning? Irritated eyes, headache, nausea, weakness and dizziness are some of the early symptoms of CO poisoning.
These are easily and often mistaken as seasickness when on a boat. Any of the aforementioned symptoms should be addressed immediately. People experiencing these symptoms should be moved to a fresh air environment, observed and given oxygen, if necessary. Seek medical help and shut off potential sources of CO, if possible. Do not write these symptoms off as simple seasickness. Err on the side of caution, even if you’re unsure if CO poisoning is the culprit. The USCG recommends all boaters learn where and how CO can accumulate on their boats. Maintain fresh air circulation throughout the boat at all times, running exhaust blowers whenever the generator is operating. When hosting others on their boats, boaters should make sure everyone steers clear of engine and generator exhaust outlets. Boaters and their guests should never sit, or hang on the back deck or swim platform while engines are running. The USCG notes that the presence of exhaust fumes means CO is present, too. Dissipate fumes immediately upon detecting them. Boating is a safe and fun activity when boaters maintain their boats and take steps to protect themselves from dangers like carbon monoxide.
