Community comes out for Tia by Aly Brown Staff Writer

Tia Longmire, a student at Edna Hill Middle School, was hit by a car while walking to school Sept. 17. The family is grateful for all the community support in the form of prayers, fundraisers and encouraging messages.

Tia Longmire has been in the hospital in critical condition since Sept. 17, but her family says the outpouring from the community has kept them going in their darkest hours. “Tia’s condition is stable but critical – she still remains in a coma,” her grandfather, Pete Longmire, told The Press this week. “The doctors are happy about her stabilizing now. They’re going slow with treatment measures, so they don’t make her unstable. She has very serious traumatic brain injuries and multiple fractures throughout her body.” The morning of Sept. 17, Tia, an 11-year-old student at Edna Hill Middle School, was crossing the road with her little sister Nichole when she was hit by a Nissan Altima traveling eastbound on Balfour Road. Airlifted to UC Davis, Tia has been in critical condition ever since. The driver of the Altima was reported to have been cooperating with officials at the time of the accident. “We’ve been praying hard and then praying harder still,” Longmire said. “Ob-

viously, it’s very stressful to see our baby in that condition, but we’re just grateful she’s still with us and she’s stabilizing. The team (at Davis), I just can’t say enough about them, and the community outreach has been incredible.” Longmire described countless messages and postings of support along with fundraising efforts from complete strangers. As the current City of Pittsburg mayor, he’s been actively involved in East County through law enforcement, business and politics within his community but said outreach, generosity, prayers and effort in the wake of this accident have been unparalleled. “It’s been incredible, and that’s why we developed the Facebook page to keep the community informed,” he said. “Being in a situation like this, I’ve never seen it at this level – a lot of people care, they just care, and they want to do something to help Tia, to help the family and the little sister who was right there and witnessed everything.” Longmire described 10-year-old Nichole’s proactive and confident manner see Community page 26

Giving a voice to the Delta by Tony Kukulich Staff Writer

Restore the Delta (RTD), a Stockton-based environmental advocacy group, released a report last week entitled “Fate of the Delta” that attempts to bring to the forefront voices that have been overlooked in the debate regarding the California WaterFix project. “The report represents true facts about how the California WaterFix will destroy many lives and the Delta itself, all for the gain of water profiteers,” said Gary Mulcahy, government liaison for the Winnemem Wintu Tribe, in an email to The Press. “I hope that the newly elected come November will read the report

Barbara Barrigan-Parrilla, Restore the Delta and stop this awful and unnecessary project.” The impetus for creating the document, according to Barbara Barrigan-Parrilla, RTD executive director, was to record in a single document years of work on behalf of the Delta and its communities that was found in testimony to the state water board, blog posts, press releases and comment letters.

“We wanted our community to have one document, one historical record of what we told the State Water Resources Control Board, what we have learned since that time and how we have attempted to shift the stakes of the tunnels’ water right decision,” said Barrigan-Parrilla. “Delta environmental justice communities face a mortal threat to their water quality and water supplies

When Delta people care, they can do a lot to protect their home and its beautiful, life-giving waters.” The California WaterFix project as proposed will use three newly constructed intakes to draw water from the Delta just south of Sacramento and channel that water 30 miles south through two tunnels. Each tunnel will measure 40 feet in diameter and will be buried 150 feet belowground. Combined, the intakes will be capable of sending 9,000 cubic-feet of Delta water per second through those tunnels. After reaching the Clifton Court Forebay near Byron, the water will be

A Legendary Kingdom

The tales of King Arthur’s kingdom have been told through the centuries. Many books, movies and even musicals have been written about the adventures of King Arthur, Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table. Use the code to discover the name King Arthur gave to his kingdom.

In legends about King Arthur, he has a magical sword called Excalibur. What was its magic?

According to the legend, Arthur became King when he was able to pull a sword from a stone when no one else could, even older and stronger knights.

Legends describe Excalibur as a sword with a magic unbreakable blade, fashioned by an lder ering or ho elf swordsmith. It has a oun: a cov er or metal. n ) rd -a b a k ath scabbard that would scabbard (s, usually made of le a sword r fo protect the person wearing it from all harm.

This was Arthur’s first sword, but it was not Excalibur. The sword from the stone was broken in a battle Arthur had with a knight named Pellinore. Arthur’s friend, the magician Merlin, took him to a magical lake where the mysterious Lady of the Lake, Vivien, gave Excalibur to Arthur. Can you find the two identical swords?

Because Excalibur is a sword of legend, it can look any way you wish. Decorate and color this big sword to look the way you think Excalibur could look.

Sergeant honored with memorial highway Scott Lunger, the police sergeant who was killed in the line of duty in 2015, was honored last weekend with the unveiling of two memorial signs. Presented by the California Department of Transportation, the new signs along Highway 4 between Brentwood and Oakley mark area the “Hayward Police Sergeant Scott Paul Lunger Memorial Highway.” The designation was authorized by Assembly Concurrent Resolution (ACR) 49, authored by Assemblymember Jim Frazier (D-Discovery Bay) in 2017. “Sgt. Lunger was an exemplary peace officer who served with distinction and honor,” Frazier said. “His loss had a devastating impact on his families, his local community and the entire East Bay law enforcement community. Fortunately, the legislature has a process that allows us to remember him by designating a portion of the state highway in his community to carry his name and legacy forward.” ACR 49 dedicates the section of Highway 4 from Balfour Road to Laurel Road in memory of Lunger, a Brentwood resident who served with the Hayward Police Department. Lunger conducted a traffic stop with the assistance of a second unit in Hay-

Seen here are Sgt. Scott Lunger’s father, Paul Lunger, and sister, Ciara Lunger, who attended a memorial sign unveiling in Lunger’s honor Saturday, Sept. 22. ward on July 22, 2015. As he and the officer approached the vehicle, an occupant in the vehicle opened fire, striking and killing Lunger. The officer with Lunger returned fire as the vehicle fled. The vehicle was found abandoned a short time later and the suspect, who was wounded,

was taken into custody. The Brentwood Police Activities League raised funds to pay for the signs and worked with Caltrans to have them installed. By law, state funds cannot be used to pay for and install memorial signs. All the funds must be raised

privately. Those participating in the unveiling included Hayward Police Sgt. Brian Maloney and the Hayward Police Department Honor Guard. Christine Hillenbrand, a friend of Lunger, sang the national anthem. Hayward Police Chaplain Sue Kuipers recited the invocation. Lunger’s father, Paul, and his brother, Mike, spoke at the unveiling, along with Assemblymember Frazier, Hayward Police Capt. Will Deplitch and Lunger’s fiancée, Jennifer Lee.

Locals make final rounds for Warriors dance team by Aly Brown Staff Writer

Two Discovery Bay women recently participated in the opportunity of a lifetime. Kelly Chance, owner of photography business Discovery Bay Studios, received a text message one day from her close friend, Jill Reynolds, who shared with her information on a unique competition – one that had the two auditioning among hundreds to become part of the Warriors Senior Dance Team for women over 55. “It was the first year for the Warriors to do this,” Chance said, who noted about 300 people arrived on the day of audition at The Ultimate Fieldhouse, a junior NBA flagship facility in Walnut Creek. “I think (Warriors officials) didn’t know what they were looking for.” She described the gymnasium, which Steph Curry is known to frequent, as packed with roughly 300 people, a schedule of mugshots and interviews and dance routine training for the women, some of whom had traveled from as far as Florida to participate. Chance further noted former Raiderettes and Lakers cheerleaders along with two original Warriors cheerleaders turned out for auditions. As a coach for the Liberty girls’ junior varsity and varsity tennis teams and a dancer, Chance viewed the event as a fun way to entertain her competitive side while spending time with other positive women. “That’s why we weren’t nervous, because we really had no expectations,” she said. As the first round of cuts was made and Chance and Reynolds were still present among the remaining 140, the desire to make the team grew. But what Chance noted to be of most importance was the envi-

ronment of camaraderie, support and fun. “Even the director was tearing up and said, ‘This is overwhelming,’” Chance said. “It wasn’t about being cutthroat.” Before ABC7 News and judges, the women performed routines in groups of five and to the tune of cheering from their peers. “Everyone was so friendly and excited to be there,” said Reynolds. “It was really a wonderful experience.” After the first wave of cuts that landed Chance and Reynolds in the top 140, Reynolds was cut, leaving Chance in the top 31 to dance it out for one of 20 available spots on the dance team. “They kind of tricked us. They told us we were going to clean up the movements and perform in a line of six as part of a rehearsal,” Chance explained. “An entertainment director had flown in to watch rehearsals, but it turns out he was judging us the whole time.” While Chance came close, she was ultimately cut and lightheartedly joked about the reason. “During my interview, (the director) said, ‘I don’t want you to take this the wrong way, but with the bow in your hair and from a distance, you really look young – you look like one of my Warrior girls, and that’s not what we’re trying to do.’ But if I’m going to get cut, how great is that?” Chance said, laughing. Reynolds and Chance both confirmed they would try out for the team again next year and plan to keep in shape with dance classes. “We had a ball,” Reynolds said. “Kelly and I have known each other for years and thought it would be something fun to do. We plan on doing it again next year. The whole Warrior organization was so wonderful – they were very positive and sincere, and I bet this is going to be fabulous for the women who were chosen.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net

Family Justice Center coming to East County by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer

The often-fractured lives of East County family violence victims are further eroded by having to travel to Concord or Richmond to find comprehensive support services in one location. But solace will soon be found locally. The nonprofit Family Justice Center, a one-stop support network for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking and child or elder abuse victims, plans to open an Antioch location in early 2019. “Any typical family-violence victim may need to connect and navigate up to 32 different systems,” said Susun Kim, the center’s executive director. “If you are experiencing domestic violence and you are lowincome, you have so many needs. The idea is that the on-site navigators are well-trained and know what kinds of services and programs are available, can connect the client to those services and can stay in contact with the client until they are safe.” The center, with locations in Richmond and Concord, features 40 on-site public and nonprofit partners, including law enforcement and district attorney representatives, to piece together lives broken by interpersonal violence. The free services include safety plan-

DEATH AND STEPPED-UP BASIS Some people think they should transfer their property to their children before they pass away. Most tax experts advise against this. Here is an oversimplified explanation of how capital gains taxes are calculated when you sell a property: Sales price minus selling expenses minus your cost basis equals your gain. If you can’t claim the exclusion for gains on a primary residence ($250,000 single-filer, $500,000 joint-filers) or your gain exceeds those amounts, the gain (or gain over the exclusion) is taxable. Most often, your cost basis is what you paid for the home, plus your expenses to purchase the property. However, your basis can be adjusted over time. One way is if you make major improvements and your basis increases. The basis is also adjusted when the property is inherited. The basis of inherited property is the fair market value of the property at the time of the decedent’s death (or in some situations 6 months after). This is commonly referred to as the “stepped-up basis” rule. For example, let’s say a couple purchased

ning, housing aid, counseling and mental health assistance, restraining order help, family-law guidance and court support. Its $1.9 million annual budget is funded through county, state and federal grants, city funds, foundations, corporations and individual donors. “At the family justice centers, we can come together as a community collaboratively with law enforcement, prosecutors, community-based organizations, health partners, citizens and give hope,” said Dana Filkowski, supervising prosecutor of the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s domestic violence unit. Kim said the organization is in the final stages of securing the Antioch location, with one possible spot being 2711 Hillcrest Ave., which is 15 minutes from Brentwood City Hall, 13 minutes from Oakley City Hall and about 25 minutes from Discovery Bay. Kim said statistics show that the East County location is sorely needed. Of the 2,442 families served in 2017 – a figure that doubled since 2015 – 127 came from Antioch, 45 from Oakley, 32 from Brentwood and 10 from Discovery Bay. “This is going to be an asset because these issues aren’t going to go away,” said Mayor Bob Taylor. “If anything, they are

a property decades ago for $100,000 and it’s now worth $500,000. If they still lived in the property they could sell it and likely pay no capital gains taxes. Their basis would be $100,000 but the $500,000 exclusion covers the gain. If they pass away, their heirs inherit the property at a “stepped-up basis” of $500,000. The heirs could immediately sell the property with likely no capital gains taxes owed. However, if the couple transfers the property to their heirs prior to their death, their heirs will have a basis of $100,000, and probably have a huge tax bill when they sell. This is a complicated issue and I have very limited space, so I’m leaving out a LOT of details and fine print. I’m also NOT a tax expert, so you should consult a tax expert for specifics to your situation. If you have questions about real estate, call me at (925) 240-MOVE (6683).

MIKE’S ESTATE PLANNING MINUTE By Michael J. Amthor, Esq.

ARE YOU CONFIDENT ABOUT THE PEOPLE YOU APPOINTED IN YOUR ESTATE PLAN?

Many people do not give much thoughts to the people that are named in their estate plan documents. Naming the wrong person is a time bomb just waiting to explode. Many people don’t think through the potential consequences of naming the wrong person. The people we are talking about here are primarily agents named in a power of attorney or health directive; successor trustees in a trust; and, executors named in a will. One of the problems is that people are routinely appointed in estate planning documents without ever telling them they have been appointed. You should definitely have a discussion with the people you appoint to make sure they are willing to take on the role you have appointed them to. Other considerations are 1) Is the person qualified?, 2) the distance the person lives from you; and, 3) does the person have the time given family and job obligations. Another consideration is whether the person has any conflicts of

SEPTEMBER 28, 2018

interests, or even worse, personal conflicts with the beneficiaries named in your estate. You may have appointed people long ago and have never given this a second thought. If this is you, you should definitely review your estate plan with your attorney to ensure the people appointed are still the right person for the job. People change and/or their circumstances change. Such changes may significantly impact their ability or qualifications to act on your behalf and/or on behalf of your estate. A quick review now can prevent problems that could have easily been avoided. A short conversation with that person usually provides you peace of mind that they are both willing and qualified. It can also reveal a red flag that you wold have never discovered otherwise. If you have questions on this or any other estate planning topic, call me at (925) 516-4888.

probably going to grow even more as our communities grow. The object and the idea is to help people as soon as we can and get them on the right road.” Filkowski can vouch for the benefits the center will provide. She recounted the story of a Brentwood family broken apart when the mother chased the father and 5- and 9-year-old children down the street with a knife. The family justice center supported the father in family court, with restraining orders, secured the children with school supplies and computers and found the family child care, Filkowski said. “This man hugged me with tears in his eyes and said we – all of us working together – for the first time in three years gave them hope,” she said. Hopeful stories like that will surely resonate from the East County center, Kim said. Kim said the network of East County center nonprofits is still evolving but is expected to include: STAND, which offers family-violence prevention, intervention and treatment programs; Community Violence Solutions, providing support services to child and adult sexual assault victims and their families; and domestic violence and elder abuse advocacy and support organizations. Like the Concord and Richmond locations, the Antioch center will connect visitors with skilled navigators to secure their safety and determine individualized needs and solutions. Once basic needs are met, navigators will offer long-term self-sufficiency services

“ The idea is that the on-site navigators are welltrained and know what kinds of services and programs are available, can connect the client to those services and can stay in contact with the client until they are safe.

”

Susun Kim executive director Family Justice Center to secure independence. Kim and Filkowski are hopeful that law enforcement agencies and district attorney representatives will also co-locate at the center to create a complete victim service facility where visitors can meet with law enforcement and then immediately be ushered to a navigator. “We look forward to providing the same type and level of services in East County as we have done in the Central and West Counties,” Kim said. It’s expected that the Antioch center will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and serve victims by appointment and on a walk-in basis. The center’s Concord location is located at 2151 Salvio St., Suite 201. For more information, visit www. cocofamilyjustice.org. To comment, visit www.thepress.net

I’ve been in a car accident that wasn’t my fault. What should I do? By Maria Pappas-Rajotte, Esq.

Photo courtesy of Julie Croy

Keeping it going Loma Vista Elementary School in Brentwood was the recent recipient of a gift from Maurice’s, located in The Streets of Brentwood. The clothing store manager delivered a check for $100 to the school, along with a variety of supplies to help the school year along.

Call the police and make a report. Even if it is clear that the accident was not your fault you should always call the police and make a report of the accident. Some police departments will refuse to come to the scene of the accident unless someone is injured but a record of your call will still be available. Don’t assume you are not injured. A car accident is a traumatic experience, which can cause a multitude of feelings including fear, shock and anger. A release of adrenaline is usually your body’s first physical reaction during such an experience. Because of this “adrenaline rush” you may not feel injured at the scene. Many injuries do not manifest themselves until a few hours after the accident, or even a couple of days later. Don’t assume that you are not injured at the accident scene. Seek medical treatment right away if you feel injured. Do take pictures at the scene of the accident. Take pictures of your vehicle and the other driver’s vehicle. It is also a good idea to take a picture of their drivers license and their insurance information. Don’t give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company. Do not provide a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company without first consulting with an attorney. Many insurance adjusters will ask you questions that you do not understand, that may be confusing or that try to minimize your injuries. Do fill out a DMV Traffic Accident Report SR 1 after an accident if the total damage to your car is more than $1000.00 or someone is injured or killed. You have ten days to fill out the DMV SR 1, whether you caused

the accident or not. The SR 1 form is available on the DMV website at www.dmv.ca.gov and can be filled out directly online, printed out and sent to the DMV from the comfort of your own home. If you fail to submit a completed SR 1 to the DMV, the DMV can suspend your drivers license. Don’t post about your accident on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. While you may think that your accident is post-worthy because your car looks like you should not have walked away, you would be surprised at how far insurance companies will go to pay you as little as possible for any injuries you might have as a result of the accident. They also love it when you post photos of you riding on a jet ski during your twoweek vacation to Puerto Vallarta after the accident. Do consult with an attorney. Talk to an attorney before trying to settle your case. There are insurance companies that will offer you small amounts of money to settle your case fast even though your case is worth a lot more. If you need additional assistance our office provides a free consultation for all personal injury matters. THIS ARTICLE PROVIDES ONLY GENERAL LEGAL INFORMATION, AND NOT SPECIFIC LEGAL ADVICE. INFORMATION CONTAINED IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR A PERSONAL CONSULTATION WITH AN ATTORNEY.

OBITUARIES Donavon Ralph Wallace

April 6, 1944 – Sept. 16, 2018 Ralph Wallace left this world peacefully with his wife by his side at the hospice Bruns House in Alamo after a five-month struggle to return to good health following complications from major surgery at UCSF on May 5, 2018.

Ralph went to work for Boyd Real Estate, becoming the broker, while owning and operating Donavon’s Marina for 20 years, eventually buying Boyd Real Estate and then moving to their dream home on Bethel Island. Ralph was a very loving husband to his wife of 50 years, Ardith; a godfather to Christopher Spellman of Sacramento

He was an active Bethel Island Lions Club member for 35 years, serving as president and treasurer; past president of the Bethel Island Chamber of Commerce; Citizen of the Year 2002; member of the San Joaquin Yacht Club; and chairman of the Bethel Island Municipal Advisory Committee.

Family and friends will hold a private celebration of his life.

Brentwood church to host Marian Conference Immaculate Heart of Mary in Brentwood will host Marian Conference Oct. 12 to 13. Father Quang Minh Dong, pastor of Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Brentwood, said he was excited to host the event in its inaugural year. “With Mary, we say ‘yes’ to the Lord,” he said. The program was designed with Mary and the family in mind and has a focus on the role of parents and children in building the church in their own homes. “I come from the experience of convening Marian Conferences of recent years held at Our Lady of Lavang Shrine in Las Vegas, and I have seen how (this) had indeed helped the faithful grow deeper in their spirituality, which find expressions in the home and the church,” Dong said. Dynamic speakers and facilitators have been invited to this conference. Cardinal William Levada, prefect emeritus of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith under Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, will open the two-day conference with a Solemn Mass followed by his keynote address. Friday evening will conclude with praise, worship and a presentation designed for the youth and their families

SEPTEMBER 28, 2018

Managing stress in a stress-filled world I have a lot on my plate over here, although probably no more than you. I am what you might call a ‘highstrung’ person, which is great when things are going well. Being high strung can come across as being cheerful and energetic. But when life gets stressful, Hangin’ in that energy becomes anxiety. here I thought I had a handle on my anxiety. Exercise and a nice glass of wine were my go-to remedies. I found out recently that I might need more than that to cope with my Vicki growing list of stressMcKenna inducing triggers. My list looks something like this … My 80- year-old mother, who used to travel, do yoga and loved photography, has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Now her traveling consists of trips to the memory clinic at Kaiser. She doesn’t like to socialize much, takes a lot of naps and needs help sorting her pills. My job is to handle the medical end, while my brother is handling her finances and bills. We are not the first to go down this road with an elderly parent, but it is devastating nonetheless. Moving on to stress trigger number two: my five kids. What the heck was I thinking having so many? It is worse now that they are older, because I have absolutely no control over them! Why do they have to do stuff like hike on precarious mountains, take selfies on rooftops, dive off cliffs or fly to Belize and scuba dive? Why can’t they all come back home and sit on the living room floor in their pajamas and build Legos? By the way, I recently raved about that family map app, but don’t do it! I became a family map addict. I was staring at that thing all day and night, trying to figure out why my son was in San Francisco when he lives in San Jose. Why was my daughter, Mary, on a desolate road in Berkeley at midnight? It didn’t relieve my worrying, it

caused it. I had to go cold turkey. I may have to delete the app altogether. It’s just so tempting to spy on your kids. Moving on to stressor number three: Haley’s driving. It’s not good. She still has two more lessons with Driversity. To be honest, I think she needs a lot more. I cannot explain the physical reaction my body exhibits when sitting in the passenger seat next to her. It’s a cross between sheer terror and a seizure. I am literally unsteady when I exit the car. Please pray for her safety and my heart. Stressor number four: birthdays … mine. I am in deep denial about my age. How am I 59? I can barely say it. I still wear Victoria’s Secret Pink sweatpants with the word ‘PINK’ across the butt, which by the way is flat and almost nonexistent. I have a lot to look forward to – I can’t wait to have grandchildren (I will probably spy on them too!), and I don’t mean to take birthdays for granted. It’s just that in my head, I still think I am 29 and sometimes try to flirt with the good-looking checker at Trader Joe’s, much to his obvious horror. I woke up last Sunday after a horrible nightmare that I had Alzheimer’s like my mom. In the dream, I couldn’t find my car, and when I did, I couldn’t find my way home and ended up crying and afraid. I woke up in a sweat. The feeling that I was in that dream lingered, even after my cup of coffee. I felt off, not myself. It was terrifying. I thought I might be wigging out. I Googled my strange symptoms – the dream-like state and the feeling that things weren’t real. I had an answer almost immediately. It is a common yet terrifying symptom of anxiety called derealization. It’s the brain’s way of protecting itself from stress. Just knowing there was a name for it made me feel better. I made a conscious effort to relax. I made Maury take Haley driving. I can’t get rid of the stress, but I can try to change how I react to it. I’m going to give meditation a try and maybe even take up yoga. I might just invite my mom. To comment, visit www.thepress.net

Byron school district faces receivership by Aly Brown Staff Writer

The Contra Costa County Office of Education (CCCOE) has warned the Byron Union School District (BUSD) that unless “a heroic effort” is made, the beleaguered district faces state receivership. The news arrived Sept. 20 in a letter from the CCCOE, addressed to BUSD Board President David Turner and Superintendent Dr. Debbie Gold, expressing the county’s “cause for serious concern” upon recently reviewing the small district’s increasing financial struggles. “Our office estimates that the district has enough cash to pay bills for the next six months after which time there will not be enough money to pay employee salaries,” Bill Clark, CCCOE associate superintendent, wrote in the letter. “Without a heroic effort, the district is likely to fall into state receivership this year. While it is difficult to identify specific reasons for these recent developments, the majority of the loss appears to be related to unanticipated special education costs.” Earlier this year, BUSD had announced the severity of its financial state in a May meeting that noted the district’s negative cash balance and the need for an additional $500,000 to be cut from the budget by the end of October. The county’s recent review of the district’s unaudited actual report from 201718 indicates it has lost more than $1 million, reducing the unrestricted reserve to negative $678,179. The August’s general fund cash

balance was negative $1.4 million, which ultimately prompted the letter. Gold issued her own letter to families Friday, Sept. 21, at 4:20 p.m., to report the news of a worsened fiscal condition with the county’s letter attached in the email. “Among other things, the plan calls for us to implement an immediate spending and hiring freeze (for all nonessential expenditures) across our entire district,” Gold wrote. “We will begin to implement these strategies immediately, but I also wanted to assure you that we continue to be sensitive to the importance of maintaining a sense of normalcy on our campuses and in our classrooms.” For some, Gold’s communication was received too late. At a standing room only meeting Monday, Sept. 24, grumbles swept through the room following Turner’s commendation of Gold’s swift issuance of the letter to the school district community. “There is no transparency,” said Karrie Hebert, California School Employees Association (CSEA) chapter president for Byron. “It was issued that Friday, after everybody left work.” Tak Nobori, seventh-grade science teacher and the teacher union vice president, echoed concerns shared by Hebert. “This was the first time I’ve ever considered leaving the district,” Nobori said. Presenting that evening was Clark, who addressed public concerns of fraudulent activity while noting a WestEd report on the ‘silent recession’ transpiring within school districts in California.

“ There isn’t any fraud

going on out here … I do not have any questions about the integrity of the district, its management or leadership.

”

Bill Clark, CCCOE associate superintendent “I am a certified public accountant, I have reviewed your budget at a line-level detail and trend analysis myself. There isn’t any fraud going on out here. You can dismiss that as a condition you think you’re facing – that’s not the case,” Clark said, explaining that schools with low enrollment receive less funding and are consequently hit harder during recessions. “I do not have any questions about the integrity of the district, its management or leadership. What you have here is a structural issue that many districts are facing across the state. Byron, because of its size and unique characteristics, happens to be a frontrunner in a trend that’s developing and unfolding across the state.” In a separate interview with The Press, Terry Koehne, CCCOE chief communications officer, shone more light on the issues at play with the budget. “Some of the recommendations that we had made originally fell in line with (the district’s) own process, which was to put together

a budget advisory committee and then for that committee to be serious about looking at ways to reduce their budget,” Koehne said. “I don’t think those reductions have come to pass in ways that we had hoped … because of that, the financial situation has gotten worse, and we were forced to submit this letter to the board and the superintendent. I will say it comes with it a series of more serious and strict, not just recommendations, but mandates.” Those mandates ranged from canceling and closing all but the most essential purchase orders to freezing overtime and new hires, among others. Koehne further noted the suggestions from the budget committee to implement revenue generators, such as partnering with education foundations or exploring increasing facility use fees, weren’t stringent enough to make a dent in the problem – that coupled with unanticipated additional costs made the situation more serious. Despite the threat of receivership, however, the county officials noted the possibility of recovery to be just as likely. “We’re doing everything we can to work with the district to hopefully avoid that next step that could potentially be state receivership,” Koehne said. “We’re hopeful that the situation will turn around, and our office will obviously continue to keep a close eye on their fiscal situation … We see ourselves as a partner in this, and I think Byron sees it the same way.” To review the county letter, visit www. thepress.net.

Freedom football squad scores late to defeat Panthers in homecoming contest by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer

As the Freedom and Antioch football teams kicked off their game last week, all eyes were on the field. But by game’s end and Freedom’s 14-7 win, many were looking skyward as a medical helicopter carrying Falcons’ offensive lineman Colby Hunter lifted off near Freedom Basin for the hospital. Hunter, a senior, suffered what turned out to be bulged discs, stretched nerves, compression around the top of the spine and a muscle tear with 7:54 left in the third quarter of a tie game. He’s expected to recover with rest and physical therapy, but the injury shook many in the large crowd at Falcons Stadium. Hunter lay motionless on the field for over 20 minutes before being taken to an awaiting ambulance parked on the Freedom track and was eventually transported to a helicopter waiting nearby. “It puts this all in perspective,” Freedom head coach Andrew Cotter said, moments after the Falcon win. “None of this matters until that whole situation is handled and he’s safe.” The incident took place about an hour

Freedom running back Roy Lee stiff arms Antioch cornerback Dejuan Butler in the Falcons’ 14-7 win. Lee finished with a team-high 138 yards on 17 carries. Freedom improved to 5-1 and 1-0 in league play with the victory. after Heritage middle linebacker Adrian Mendez was helicoptered to the hospital when he exhibited signs of a head injury on the bench after leaving the field under his own power in the Patriots home game against Pittsburg.

Mendez was hospitalized overnight for observation but released the following day. The injuries overshadowed what turned out to be an exciting night of football.

Brett Bausola’s 1-yard touchdown catch with 5:07 left in the game vaulted the Falcons (5-1, 1-0 in the Bay Valley Athletic League) to a 14-7 homecoming win. Ziare Williams’ interception of Antioch backup quarterback Rocco Borrelli with 1:46 left sealed the Falcons’ victory. Antioch star quarterback Willem Karnthong exited the game moments earlier with an undisclosed ailment. Pittsburg (4-2, 1-0 in league play) defeated Heritage (1-5, 0-1) 66-14. “There were a whole bunch of emotions flying around this game,” said wide receiver Giles Jackson. Freedom, which outgained Antioch 391-206 in total yards, rose to the occasion when it mattered most. With the game knotted at 7, and moments after Hunter’s injury, Jackson wrestled from an Antioch defender what turned out to be a 47-yard reception at the Panther 2-yard line late in the fourth quarter. Three plays later, Bausola hauled in the game-winning 1-yard touchdown. “I am still trying to figure out how he caught that,” Cotter said referring to Jackson’s catch. “Giles is an amazing young man. He’s the type of kid where if you see Freedom page 18

Local athletes excel at big cross-country meet by Michael Dixon Correspondent

Over the weekend, cross-country runners from Heritage, Liberty and Freedom participated in the Pacific Tiger Invitational in Stockton. In terms of total participants, it’s one of the biggest events in Northern California. Bay Valley Athletic League athletes thrived in the 5,000-meter boys’ race. Patriots’ senior Max Waechter won the race while Lions’ senior Micah Delgado finished in fifth place. The performance of both athletes pleased Liberty coach Eric Morford. “It was cool to see Max come away with the victory, even as the rival coach,” Morford said. “Last week, we went to the Farmer Invitational. Micah won the invite that weekend. Micah wins one weekend. Max wins the next. It was pretty cool to see that.” Liberty also had high finishers with sophomore Keene Sample and junior Anthony Portillo. Sample took 24th, while Portillo finished 30th. That helped the Lions take third place in the team competition. In the girls’ race, Freedom’s Kylee Den-

ver was the top local performer. She finished 12th and was the highest-placing freshman in the race. A pair of Lions’ sophomores, Keanna Shipley and Lily Castro, finished 20th and 42nd. Those performances helped lead the Liberty girls to an eighth-place finish. “Keanna is stepping into the top runner role,” Morford said. She’s the best returner from last season. We’re missing the

services of some great runners from last year to graduation. They’re all in college. Keanna is going to carry on that tradition for us.” The Lions also thrived in the meet’s spirit competition which was a team wide event. From fashion choices to thunder sticks to crowd surfing and dance circles, the judges deemed that nobody topped Liberty’s spirit. As a result, they received the spirit

award. “Regardless of if we won or not, we had a great time. But being rewarded helped them validate what they can be. Every meet we go to, we are the loudest and proudest team,” Morford said. “That was our team’s goal. It was about what team could have the most fun on Saturday.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net

Freedom linebacker Hunter McAllister collected two sacks and defensive linemen Taleni Lepolo and Caleb Hunter tallied one each. “We take a lot of pride in our defense,” Cotter said. “I think our defense rose to the occasion.” Freedom took a 7-0 lead on Jaimier Parker’s 16-yard touchdown on its opening drive, but then struggled to find the end zone the rest of the game, despite several players putting up impressive individual numbers.

Coaches and instructors C

The last level is Gold certification which is more a title than a level. The Silver coach embarks on a project, which is akin to a Ph.D. The Gold-Level coach becomes an expert in a particular facet of the game. I’ve been working toward that end for over two years now, and it will be at least another three years before I can see the end of that tunnel. Of the nearly 8,000 USBC coaches in the world, about 600 are Silver Level and only 28 have attained Gold. The other organization involved in global training is also a part of the USBC and the Bowling Proprietors of America (BPAA), and they are the IBPSIA. IBPSIA provides pro shops with advanced training and education in equipment design from the manufacturers to the drillers. In short, they train the world in the craft of fitting and drilling. That’s the ‘IBPS’ part of the organization – the ‘IA’ is the instructor side. Bowling is an international sport with many federations and associations that have to be kept on the same page in the discipline of training and instruction for the sport. To that end, IBPSIA enacted a program to train and elevate its teachers to a Gold Level of its own with the master’s certification. Masters are the elite of the industry’s drillers and instructors. They’re even more rare than the USBC coaches in that there are only 23 in the world at last count and just this past week I was advised by IBPSIA that the result of my recent 38-page essay test from last June’s Certification Workshop

It took several years, thousands of miles of travel around America to Illinois, Florida, Kentucky, Texas, Kansas and Nevada along with a sizable cash investment to reach this degree of excellence. I’m humbled to be in the company of such a group of technical minds and leaders of the industry. I’m still working toward USBC Gold as a candidate with much more work to go.

There are two organizations in the bowling industry that provide training and development of coaches and instructors for the sport of bowling. The United States Bowling Congress (USBC) and the International Bowling Pro Shop and Instructors Keglers Association (IBPSIA). orner Within the USBC is a subgroup that trains and teaches coaches how to teach the game and does so with a progression of levels that are awarded based on experience, education and testing. Duane Under the USBC, an Wilson incoming coach starts at Level 1 which familiarizes the players with the basic skills and rules of bowling. From there, a coach moves on to the completion of a Bronze-Level certification that includes more technical aspects of the game like delivery, footwork, basic releases and spare targeting. After a year or so, the coach begins their study for a Silver-Level certification which is the heart and soul of coaching. At this level, a coach develops and expands the player’s game knowledge of ball dynamics, lane and pattern play, and approach dynamics among a variety of other topics. All collegiate coaches are Silver Level or higher.

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 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-18-807882-BF. 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. 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 sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney.

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 916-939-0772 or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 02018-120. 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.

The value of prescription drug benefits by Rick Beavin

pumped into the California Aqueduct and flow south into the Central Valley and beyond into Southern California. The price tag for the construction of the tunnels is currently estimated at $20 billion, though many believe the final cost will be several times that amount. The 216-page report – authored by Barrigan-Parrilla, Nora Kovaleski, Mariah Looney and Tim Stroshane – was released during a press conference held in Stockton, Monday, Sept. 17. A number of politicians spoke on behalf of RTD during the hour-long session including Congressman Jerry McNerney (CA-09), state Senator Cathleen Galgiani (SD-5) and Stockton Mayor Michael Tubbs. “This report painstakingly brings to the forefront the lack of consideration that water policy makers have historically made and continue to make today toward environmental justice concerns,” said Galgiani. “Actual water use and water exports need to be taken in account to ensure that our communities along and within the Delta are not left poor, are not left unable to de-

Medicare provides very little prescription drug coverage. Therefore, if you are eligible for Medicare and want drug coverage, you will need to purchase it from a private insurer, like Humana. You can either buy a stand-alone prescription drug plan – commonly referred to as a PDP – or obtain Part D prescription coverage through a Medicare Advantage plan that includes drug coverage. Fortunately, there are plenty of re-

sources available to help you choose the drug coverage that is right for you. It’s always a good idea to find an insurance professional in your community who can help you look at the drugs you might want covered and how they match up with the prescription drug benefit of the various plans offered in your market. The government-run website Medicare. gov is also a great resource that allows you to compare all of the plans offered

in your county and narrow down the options to the plan that will best meet your needs. Even if you are already in a plan, the Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plan Annual Enrollment Period (Oct. 15 to Dec. 7) is the time to take a good look at all your plan options and find the coverage that is right for you. Rick Beavin is Humana’s market president in California.

23, and Longmire was present to thank customers who went through the drive-thru coffee stand in a show of support for Tia and the family. “It was remarkable, but it was also very tough, being there and seeing the kindness and generosity,” Longmire said. “It was really hard to keep it together … That support we’re getting, it really goes a long way. We feel it and we draw from that – those positive thoughts and energy – and we can’t get enough thanks to enough people who have taken the time and given of themselves.” Another community business owner

devoted her time and finances to the family in the form of cookies. Meagan Garcia, a licensed baker and owner of Meagan’s One Smart Cookie, took it upon herself to make 220 cookies, set up a stand at Tractor Supply and sell them, giving 100 percent of the proceeds to Tia’s parents. Students at Adams Middle School also created a colliage with Tia in mind and shared it on the Facebook page, Team Tia Longmire. The list goes on. “From Tia’s mother’s side to Tia’s father’s side – all sides of the family – we are beyond appreciative for everything that everyone has done, from the community to family

and friends to the school and all the way up to the principal, who has come to visit Tia, to Dutch Bros. to Meagan Garcia to the Villas Tacos, who’s doing a fundraiser Thursday, we are just so moved by the amount of compassion and generosity by so many people,” said Tia’s aunt, Angela Combs. “It’s heartwarming to know the community is rallying to do everything they can. We can not begin to tell you guys how much we appreciate it.” For more information, visit www. facebook.com/TeamTiaLongmire or www. gofundme.com/brentwood-girl-hit-by-car.

velop and prosper, are not left to become so resource poor that poverty becomes entrenched for generations. We need to go back to the spirit of the 2009 Delta Reform Act, which called for a reduced reliance on the Delta for California’s future water needs.” The California Department of Water (DWR), the agency responsible for building and operating the WaterFix tunnels and related infrastructure, says that the project will improve water supply reliability by protecting the system from the impacts of earthquakes and global warming, improve river flows benefitting native fish and aid the restoration and protection of the Delta’s ecosystem. However, the report argues that WaterFix will reduce freshwater flows from the Sacramento River and allow salty and polluted water from the San Joaquin River to reside in the ecosystem longer as well as allowing greater intrusion of salty water from the San Francisco Bay. Degraded water quality will impact farmers dependent upon Delta water for irrigation, recreational and subsistence fishing and drink-

ing water quality for Delta communities. “This report provides much-needed historical context and detailed information that is important for the conversations we’re having concerning the future of the Delta and our region,” said McNerney in an email to the Press. “It highlights the significant lack of information that we have about the impacts the proposed projects and how they will affect the health of the Delta, our local economy and our community. Restore the Delta should be commended for their diligent work on this report, and (I) hope it will open a dialogue about California’s water management processes and the need for greater transparency.” During an interview with The Press, Barrigan-Parrilla argued that the state has failed to fulfill its obligations on a number of aspects related to WaterFix and that RTD’s report attempts to bring some of those issues to light. “Our work doesn’t get the state off the hook. They still haven’t done the fishing survey. They still never did adequate outreach in multiple languages. They still

haven’t analyzed water quality impacts and impacts on ratepayers and public health. Our report is the most that’s been done by anybody thus far on the topic. But it doesn’t make up for the fact that the state needs to do a much more comprehensive body of research.” With the release of “Fate of the Delta,” those involved hope it will spur conversation and an understanding of the impact that the construction of the WaterFix tunnels would mean for those who live in, and depend on, the Delta. “A goal was to encourage the public to think more broadly about what’s at stake in the Delta,” said Stroshane, a policy analyst with RTD. “...Those whose cities get their major municipal supplies from the Delta have a huge stake in the long-term quality of the water in the Delta. If another 20 percent of freshwater is removed from the freshest source, the Sacramento River, people are going to feel that in the quality of their water, in the quality of their health and in the quality of the fish they eat.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net

LEGAL NOTICES

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE TS No. CA-14-624205-BF Order No.: 140108352-CA-VOI YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 3/14/2006. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee. The sale will be made, 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. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor(s): ROBERT A. CAMPOS AND LISA M. CAMPOS, HUSBAND AND WIFE Recorded: 3/21/2006 as Instrument No. 2006-0085467-00 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of CONTRA COSTA County, California; Date of Sale: 10/22/2018 at 1:30PM Place of Sale: At the north side of the Pittsburg Civic Center near the grass located at 65 Civic Avenue, Pittsburg, CA 94565 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $1,171,137.93 The purported property address is: 1847 ST. MICHAELS WAY, BRENTWOOD, CA 94513 Assessor’s Parcel No.: 019-860-027-2 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 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-14-624205-BF. 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. 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 sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.
