Future fire board will be compensated Serving Up A by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer
When the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District transitions to an elected board in December, its members will get paid to attend meetings. The five representatives will receive $100 per appearance (up to $400 monthly) at full board or finance committee meetings. The current nine-member appointed body finalized the decision in a 5-3 vote this week, with Joe Young, Adam Langro and Sandra Strobel dissenting. Erick Stonebarger was absent. “Board service is a significant commitment with both economic and noneconomic costs, primarily related to time

The state’s fire district law allows for directors to receive up to $100 each board meeting.

The district’s current appointed governing board hasn’t been compensated in its nearly nine-year history. “It’s a way to say to board members we value and appreciate your service,” said current board member Susan Morgan, who won’t serve on the elected board. “It’s also standard practice (to compensate board representatives) across almost all

WWII POW recounts his experiences by Tony Kukulich Staff Writer
Meeting Oscar Leonard, one is likely to notice several characteristics of the 99-year-old veteran of the Battle for the Philippines – his wry smile and piercing gaze, a bone-crushing handshake and a shock of snow-white hair. His sense of humor and the sparkle in his eyes hide the fact that Leonard saw five months of brutal combat followed by 42 months as a prisoner of war, and it was three decades after the end of World War II before he began to talk about his experiences. Leonard’s military service to his country was as varied as it was hazardous. His father served in the Philippines with the 11th Volunteer Cavalry Regiment and fought in the Moro Rebellion. Following his father’s example, Leonard joined the 116th Cavalry in the Idaho National Guard as war was breaking out in Europe in 1939. “That was the cavalry,” said Leonard. “You got to loving that horse as much as you’d love anything. Those were great days.” The following year, he transitioned into the U.S. Army Air Corps, the predecessor of the U.S. Air Force. Intrigued by the stories of the Philippines his father brought home, Leonard requested an assignment there and soon found himself assigned to an

Oscar Leonard, a 99-year-old Antioch resident, is a veteran of the Battle of the Philippines. After the surrender of the Allied Forces there, Leonard spent 42 months as a prisoner of war in Japan where he was used as a slave laborer. anti-aircraft battery in Corregidor. It was there Leonard’s military career took an unexpected turn. Leonard’s marksmanship skills caught the attention of a man he could only describe as having been dressed in a civilian suit – not a uniform. The mysterious man took Leonard to a
warehouse and administered a memory test. Without knowing it, he was being tested for the Office of Strategic Service (OSS), an intelligence agency that served all branches of the military and was the precursor to the Central Intelligence Agency, the Navy Seals and the Green Berets.
“He did excellent, so he got into the OSS,” said George Gonzalez, Leonard’s son-in-law. “They moved him straight to Clark Field. They set him up in a B-10 to take photographs of the Japanese ships.” As an OSS operative, Leonard engaged in several types of intelligencegathering missions before the war. After the invasion of the Philippines by the Japanese, he moved back and forth from gathering intelligence to frontline combat until the surrender of the Allied Forces on May 8, 1942. Leonard participated in several key actions that slowed the advance of the Japanese military including reconfiguring antiaircraft guns to fire on ships leading an amphibious assault. Life as a prisoner of war started in camps in the Phillipines until he was placed on a ship and sent to Japan where he worked as a slave laborer in the Japanese war industry. He attributes his survival, at least partially, to help received from nurses he suspected were OSS operatives working in Japan. Leonard finished the war in Nagasaki where he was forced to assist with cleanup efforts after the second atomic bomb was dropped on that city. Leonard said that after more than three years of captivity, seeing the devastation from the bomb was the first evidence he see POW page 15A

District officials launch spectator code by Aly Brown Staff Writer
School district officials recently launched an idea for the good of the game. In collaboration with the Knightsen, Brentwood, Byron, Liberty and Oakley school districts, new ‘spectator codes’ have been posted in gymnasiums and on ballfields throughout East County to serve as a reminder to community members young and old what good sportsmanship looks like. “Our districts collectively believe that athletics is an essential component of our educational programs,” said Brentwood Union School District Superintendent Dr. Dana Eaton. “We have committed to athletic programs that emphasize the ideals of sportsmanship, ethical conduct and fair play. We expect that of our students and need to model that as adults. Our basketball courts, softball fields and volleyball courts are
classrooms. We believe that these common, explicit expectations will create the best possible educational environment for our students.” The signs, entitled Spectator Code of Conduct, remind athletes, coaches, officials and fans of the importance of showing respect, cheering positively and being a role model while refraining from criticizing coaches or players. It also touches on being a good sport on and off the field, whether that’s in person or online. “I believe that every gym in East County showing the same message of positive participation and mutual respect sends a clear and consistent message to all spectators,” said Knightsen Elementary School District Superintendent Harvey Yurkovich. “We owe it to our student athletes to model good sportsmanship by keeping our events to be competitive, fun and uplifting.” Oakley Union Elementary School Dis-
“ I believe that every gym
in East County showing the same message of positive participation and mutual respect sends a clear and consistent message to all spectators.
”
Harvey Yurkovich, Knightsen Elementary School District superintendent trict Superintendent Greg Hetrick noted the end goal to ultimately be good sportsmanship. “Oakley Union Elementary School District is proud to be a part of this unified
Code of Conduct,” he said. Outgoing Byron Union School District Superintendent Dr. Debbie Gold further noted the districts wanted to spread the word that trying your best is the definition of success. “We value, expect and demand good sportsmanship,” she said. “Our districts are also a team promoting this for all.” Eaton further noted the districts’ officials have extremely high expectations for their coaches and student athletes but that it’s appropriate to have high expectations for spectators as well. “We typically have very positive spectator support in all of our districts,” Eaton said. “When we don’t, it is incumbent on all of us to support our student athletes by making sure all spectators are acting in a way that promote sportsmanship, ethical conduct and fair play.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net

DO I REALLY NEED A LIVING TRUST?
This is a question I hear frequently from potential clients that want to keep their estate planning simple and affordable. Often these people think they have modest assets or simple situations that do not require complex estate planning. My typical lawyer like answer is, “it depends.” Not every person needs a trust. Investment accounts can typically be distributed by setting up beneficiary designations according to the wishes of the account owner. These assets can pass outside of probate without the use of the trust. The question then becomes whether the beneficiaries are old enough and responsible enough to receive the money directly, or whether it would be preferable to have those funds under the control of a trustee. In 2016 California passed legislation that allowed for a transfer on death deed. The purpose of this legislation was to avoid the “costly” burden of creating a trust. A TOD deed allows for residential real estate to be transferred to a designated beneficiary on
your death. In some cases, this is an effective method to pass real property to beneficiaries at the time of death. However, there are the same questions about whether beneficiaries are of proper age and responsibility to receive the asset directly. Having multiple beneficiaries on a transfer on death deed might lead to disputes that a trust could otherwise avoid. In short, this option is not the best solution for many Californians but it is an option to living trusts in the right circumstance. Another point that I stress when fielding these calls is that a trust is only one component of a complete estate plan. Regardless of the need for a trust, all adults should have a will, power of attorney, and healthcare directive in order to protect themselves from incapacity. When deciding what clients need, I take a comprehensive view of my client’s needs and make sure that our planning is appropriate for your unique situation. Law Office of Edward Younger.

Three going on two CAN WE COME IN LOW? The real estate market appears to have softened a little bit. So now I’ll hear buyers say, “Why don’t we come in with a really low offer and see what they say?” But that might not always be the wisest strategy. Coming in $50K or more under a home’s listed price might lead to you getting the proverbial “good deal,” or you might miss out on a good house, and it even might cause you to overpay for a home. Here is an example: Let’s take a home for sale at $600,000. You “come in low” at $550,000 and the seller takes the offer. Did you get a “good deal”? Maybe, maybe not. If the home is worth $650,000, and the seller priced it “under the market” at $600,000 to sell quickly, and you got it for even less than that, then yes, you got a “great deal.” But what if the home was really worth $500,000? Yeah, sure, you got $50,000 less than list price, but you paid $50,000 more than what is was WORTH.
What is important is not the LIST price, but what the home is actually WORTH. Before you write your offer, have your agent search for homes of similar size, age, neighborhood and features and look at actives and recent pendings and solds. Then compare those to the home you are looking at. If it looks to be too high, then by all means, offer less than list price. If the comps are much higher than what the home is listed for, then coming in “low” might cost you to miss out on the house. I’ve seen it many times where we get a “low-ball” offer on a well-priced home, only to have another offer close to full price come in and get the home. There is no shame in paying full list price if it’s a “good deal”! If you have questions about real estate, call me at (925) 240-MOVE (6683). Voted “Best of Brentwood” multiple times.

Why a mutt should be your next pup ‘Mutt’ and ‘mongrel’ have long had negative connotations, but there’s no need to snub mixed breed dogs. Dogs of any kind, regardless of lineage, can be cherished companions who offer years of tireless love and affection. In fact, mutts have gained steam as dogs of choice thanks to new, trendier monikers, such as ‘designer dogs’ or ‘cross-bred pups.’ In addition, many well-recognized purebred dogs popular today were likely once amalgams of different breeds that were carefully crafted to acquire the desireable traits of popular breeds. Many mixed-breed dogs are beautiful, well-behaved pets. The American Veterinary Medical Association states that 36.5 percent of American households have dogs. Many of those pooches are mixed-breed dogs. Here’s a look at what can make mutts standout pets. • Health: Mixed-breed dogs may not be prone to genetic diseases specific to one particular breed and may be less likely to develop an inherited disorder. According to Dog Reference, ‘hybrid vigor’ explains how a mutt’s mixed ancestry makes it hardier and more robust. The average lifespan of a mutt is longer than that of most purebred canines. This doesn’t replace the need for quality veterinary care, however.

• Life-saving choice: Animal shelters are often bursting at the seams with mutts. Choosing to adopt a mixed-breed dog can reduce overpopulation and ensure that dogs will not be euthanized. • Affordability: Mutts are typically more affordable than pure breeds because a person is not paying for lineage, show titles and AKC registration. Some mutts actually may be free if a family is giving away puppies. • Unique qualities: No two mixedbreed dogs are the same – even among litter mates. That individuality can be an advantage. • Moderated traits: Many purebred dogs were bred to serve specific purposes of the breed. A border collie, for example, is designed to herd and requires rigorous exercise to remain healthy both physically and mentally. Stripped of that primary job, a dog might be destructive or become depressed. Comprised of different breeds, a mutt may have a less intense drive to fulfill its breed standards, perhaps making it a more easygoing pet. • Trendy: Thanks to puggles and labradoodles, it’s now chic to have a mutt. Mixed-breed dogs can be the ideal puppy pets and can be a first stop in one’s search for a new canine pal. — Courtesy Metro Creative

“When it was time to find help for Mom
I made the best decision for all the right reasons.” “I wanted a caring and friendly environment for Mom, with personal attention and a great quality of life. I found it all right here, where Assisted Living is designed individually for those who need some help with the activities of daily living. People like my Mom. Each day Mom gets three fresh, home-cooked meals, opportunities to socialize — even group trips. Since she moved in, she’s discovered a renewed sense of energy. I couldn’t ask for anything more — and neither could Mom.”

PITTSBURG • CALIFORNIA
See “The Guilty” at El Campanil El Campanil Theatre will soon set the stage for “The Guilt,” playing Nov. 18. Director Gustav Möller takes spectators on a riveting adventure while the camera remains in the confines of a dusty dark office. Alarm dispatcher and demoted police officer Asger Holm, played by Jakob Cedergren, answers emergency calls from the Danish equivalent of U.S. 9-11. When the movie opens, we don’t know why he was sent there, but his frustration is palpable. It is his last day on the job, when he gets a phone call from a terrified woman, Iben, who seems to have been kidnapped. When the call is suddenly disconnected, the search for the woman and her kidnapper begins. Holm has nothing but a phone and a computer, but he is determined to rescue her. The policeman oversteps the boundaries of his role, calling on former partners, trying to save the victim and prove to himself
and the world that he is still capable of making a difference. But Holm is outside of the situation; he makes assumptions that lead to decisions that can become catastrophic. Over the course of the hour and a half movie, the audience is pulled further inside the story. With different characters precisely outlined and developed, Möller’s directing draws on the imagination of the spectator, while Cedergren’s spectacular performance captures the audience with heightened tension. Jessica Dinnage stands out as Iben, channeling the wide range of emotions of her character. The single location of the movie never feels cheap, instead it increases the anxious tension created by the fact that the hero is bound to this place while a drama is unfolding outside his grasp. The fact that it happens in real time also intensifies the thrilling effect. There is no respite in the film, no pleasant mo-

Oftentimes it’s a parent hoping for coverage their child’s ditorial of soccer game or an individual sharing their story with me.

Letters Oakley has things in hand
Editor: A recent editorial in a local newspaper implied that the Oakley City Council has their heads in the sand regarding growth, jobs and traffic. Growth – Oakley and East Contra Costa are growing and will continue to grow. We are providing the last ‘affordable opportunity’ to purchase a home in the Bay Area. A recent study from Up for Growth California, a nonprofit research and advocacy group, states that California needs to add 3.4 million housing units to meet current demand. If you’re paying attention to what’s going on in Sacramento, their solution would be to take away local control of planning from cities and counties and then ‘pack and stack’ (higher densities and going vertical). Allowing BART to build apartments in their parking lots is the first step. New homes add road improvements, additional tax revenues and provide us the ability to be more attractive to commercial developers. Jobs – We are all aware of the jobs and housing imbalance that exists in East Contra Costa, and a number of initiatives have been implemented to address the issue. At the county level, there is the Northern Waterfront Economic Development Initiative. This initiative looks to bring jobs associated with advanced transportation fuels, biotech and biomedical fields, diverse manufacturing, food processing and clean tech to the area north of Highway 4 from Hercules to Oakley. East Contra Costa cities, the board of supervisors and the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) have been working together to enhance the economic

viability of the Byron Airport by extending the runway and improving access. Oakley and Antioch have been actively marketing the properties along the Wilbur Corridor. Hopefully, an announcement will be coming soon regarding progress in this area. To assist potential investors learn more about opportunities in Oakley, the city created www.opportunityoakley.com. Traffic – When the Balfour extension is complete, CCTA will have spent $1.3 billion expanding Highway 4 and bringing BART to Antioch. Part of the funding came from the East Contra Costa Fee and Finance Authority. Every new home built in East Contra Costa pays an inflation adjusted fee, currently at $22,202 for traffic mitigation. We are the only region in Contra Costa asking new homeowners to pay for their impact on traffic. Within the city, the No. 1 capital improvement project is widening Laurel
to four lanes from Main St. to Highway 4. Widening from Cloverbrook Avenue to Main Street and a traffic signal at Rose will start construction early 2019. Working with CCTA, the city will be updating the traffic signals along Main St. in the core downtown area. These new signals will be connected via fiber optic to a control center where they can be adjusted depending on traffic flow. We are Contra Costa’s first and only ‘smart city.’ Working with CCTA and Stantec, a community-engineering firm, the city identified the steps necessary to improve traffic flow within Oakley. Oakley is working with the San Joaquin Joint Powers Authority to place a train platform in Oakley, taking riders from Oakley to Oakland in 50 minutes providing commuters another option.

Continuing a legacy of hope, love by Dawnmarie Fehr Correspondent
Byron is a small community on the edge of East County, and it is here one woman founded an organization that touches the lives of hundreds of people in its neighboring towns. Kaleidoscope Cancer Connection strives to establish and maintain supportive relationships with those who are living with cancer or other terminal illnesses. Founded by Jan Page after she won her battle with ovarian and breast cancer, Kaleidoscope touches the community with support and hope. “15 years after (I beat cancer), I told a friend that I really wanted to do something for the cancer community,” Page recalled. “We had lived in Discovery Bay since 1980, and there was no help available out here – no John Muir, no Kaiser. I was 45, and I said I’d really like to start a support group. We went to our church, and our pastor said he would support us, and that was the beginning. We started with just three people.” Page’s idea of a support group took off. She chose the name Kaleidoscope to reflect life’s changing patterns, and members of her community stepped up with ideas and offers to help. Meals for those

CONFUSED ABOUT THE NEW TAX CUTS AND JOBS ACT? The New Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) is now in full effect. From health savings accounts to tax rate schedules and standard deductions, here’s a checklist of tax changes to help you plan the year ahead. Space limitation on this column will only allow me to highlight the changes. INDIVIDUALS Standard deduction amounts increased to $12,000 for singles and $24,000 for married couples. • AMT exemption amounts increased to $70,300 for individuals and $109,400 for married couples. • HSA limits for self-coverage now $6,650 and $13,300 for family coverage. • Penalty for not maintaining minimum essential health coverage eliminated. • AGI limit for deductible medical expenses temporarily reduced to 7.5% of adjusted gross income. • The foreign earned income exclusion amount increased to $104,100. • There are new limitations on itemized
care of by them.” That recovery took seven years during which time Leonard was still in the Army. With the outbreak of the Korean War, Leonard separated from the service and attended pharmacy school. There he met Mary, another pharmacist and the woman who would become his wife. They moved to Paradise, California, raised a family and lived there for more than 60 years before moving in with their daughter and sonin-law in Antioch two years ago. “Oscar will never get over being a POW,” said Gonzalez. “To this day, he can wake up any morning and tell me about a nightmare he had. It’s still there. It will never be gone.” To read more about local veterans, see page 1B

from page 14A
“ It was embedded in
tients and their families with love, hope and support. Kate Ridener of Brentwood felt Kaleidoscope’s embrace when two of her family members were struck by cancer. “Kaleidoscope is such an amazing foundation,” Ridener said. “My mother and my stepmother were both diagnosed with terminal cancer and passed within a week of each other. Kaleidoscope helped with meals, support, baskets of hope and, most importantly, friendship. I highly recommend reaching out to them for support if you or a loved one are ever faced with a cancer diagnosis.” Stacy Wyrick, owner of Lather and Rinse Salon in Brentwood, was also af-
me to get into the beauty industry and give back. As a hair dresser, you have such a close relationship with your client.
”
Stacy Wyrick, salon owner fected by Kaleidoscope’s outreach. Some of Wyrick’s clients diagnosed with cancer had praised the efforts of the outreach program. When her friend died from the disease last year, Wyrick wanted to help
the organization that had done so much for her friend. “We are planning a fundraiser for December, and all proceeds will go to Kaleidoscope,” Wyrick explained. “It was embedded in me to get into the beauty industry and give back. As a hair dresser, you have such a close relationship with your client, and when I was helping to care for my client who passed away, it was very touching and I wanted to help.” Wyrick said she could think of no better way to get involved in the community than by hosting a fundraiser for Kaleidoscope. Though the organization is small, she said results and members’ hearts are huge. Her salon will offer wash and dries as well as gel manicures during

BART to Antioch reaches millionthrider milestone The BART to Antioch extension carried its millionth rider this week, just five months after the debut of the new service in East Contra Costa County. The milestone was reached on Halloween. By the end of that day, the BART to Antioch extension had logged 1,001,429 riders since its May 26 opening. “From the very first week of service, BART to Antioch has exceeded ridership expectations,” said BART Director Joel Keller, who serves East County and is among the local leaders instrumental in getting the extension built. “It has proven to be an incredible, state-of-the-art commute option for residents in the region, carrying as many people as an additional lane on Highway 4.” The average ridership for BART to Antioch’s first full month of service in June was 7,895 each weekday. It grew to 8,622 in October. The extension runs along the High-

The tremendous success of the extension has pushed demand for parking at the Antioch Station beyond the available space. To address this need, BART announced last month plans to nearly double the number of spaces in Antioch with full funding for the $16.4 million project identified and a new parking lot expected to open in fall of 2020.

Remembering years gone by In June 1969, I graduated from Oceanside Senior High School on Long Island. Since learning was sometimes a little challenging for me, and I was not the best student, I always had to study for everything. As I sat Senior in my blue cap and orner gown, I was thrilled when they called my name at the ceremony for my diploma in that large, crowded and warm auditorium. My parents sighed with relief, and I officially became an adult. Marla Well, at least I Luckhardt thought so. Not too sure that my mom and dad felt the same of that 18-year-old girl. The high school that I went to was about a 15-minute bus ride from my house, because my hometown only had an elementary school and a junior high that ended at the ninth grade. The kids from Oceanside outnumbered the ones from Island Park by about 10 to one, so it was a bit overwhelming to a lot of us. I remember feeling joy when I saw a familiar face in the hall amongst the sea of strangers that hustled down the hallways to class. In 1989, I flew back to New York without Grandpa, who had no desire to
C
go to my class reunion. Unlike the movie “Peggy Sue Got Married,” the reunion was not in the school gymnasium but in Manhattan about an hour away at a restaurant and bar. It was not at all what I had envisioned, and although it was really nice to see people who I had not seen in over two decades, I really hoped we would walk down the school hallways and reminisce over where our lockers were and what seats we sat in for our classes all those years ago. Whoever put together the festivities did a fine job and a good time was had by all. The dim lighting was a plus for those of us who may not have aged as well as some others. That was 30 years ago and the 50th reunion is well in the works. The older we get, the more we feel a little nostalgic about the past. Facebook and other social-media venues are a nice place to reconnect with friends and family we have not seen in a long time due to location or, well, just life. Looking up people can be fun and many have reached out across the states to say hi and share pictures of their grandchildren. With the DNA tests and ancestry hoopla all the rage now, I got my curious slippers on and hit Google. I typed in my grandparents’ names and was happily surprised to find my maternal grandfather come up on the thread.
“ The older we get, the more we feel a little nostalgic about the past. Facebook and other socialmedia venues are a nice place to reconnect with friends and family we have not seen in a long time due to location or, well, just life.
”
I learned so much just from that one search, and it was free! After I typed his name into the search engine at the top of the page, it took me to www.myheritage. com, where I found out a ton of information that was a tad sketchy when told to me by my mom. My grandfather, Max L. Ditchek, was born on Jan. 19, 1898, to parents William (Wolf) Ditchek (Dyczek) and Elke Ditchek (born Stein). The spelling of his last name was changed for easier pronunciation when he came through Ellis Island as a teenager. His father, my great grandfather, was William, who I read was born in 1871, in Helusz, Galicia, Austria, and his mother, Elke, was born in 1855, in Brezany, Galicia, Austria. Reading on, it stated what I already
knew. ‘Poppy’ Max had three brothers, married my grandmother, Rose Fastner, had three children (my mom was the middle child) and passed away at the age of 89, in 1988. I continued my research on the town where he was born and was totally fascinated by the ton of information I found. I read as much as I wanted about its history – my history! I paid nothing, although they will ask you to join or pay for more information, but I passed on that. What I found out was enough. Years ago, I went to www. libertyellisfoundation.org/passengerresult and found my grandfather’s name, the name of the ship he was on, his country of origin and the year he came to Ellis Island. Again, this information was free, and seeing his name on my computer was a brief visit with a dear man whom I adored growing up. I won’t be going to my 50th reunion coming up in New York this next year, although I will look forward to the pictures a lot of classmates will post online. Our personal history and heritage are now so easy to investigate, and I hope some of my readers will visit these free sites and read about where they came from and from whom. I enjoyed it totally.

League elite flourish at cross country championship by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer
Freedom’s Kylee Denver and Heritage’s Maxwell Waechter led the pack at the North Coast Section cross-country championships, but Liberty stole the show. The Lions’ boys placed four runners in the top 5 and five in the top 10, and the girls landed five in the top 10, giving both squads team victories. “This wasn’t one of our stronger years as a girls’ team, but they still stayed confident in themselves and worked hard to keep the tradition alive in terms of winning in our program,” said Liberty head coach Eric Morford. “ … And the boys have just been motivated for so long now in terms of always looking up at Heritage as the big brother. The boys were fully confident in themselves that they were prepared.” The boys placed Micah Delgado (32.31 seconds off Waechter at 17:34.32), Anthony Portillo, (17:43.69), Nic Lewis (17:49.51), Keene Sample (17:59.62) and Alex Bergqvist (18:06.51) in second, third, fourth, fifth and seventh to guide the Lions to the easy victory. The girls’ squad was equally impressive, with Keanna Shipley (33.30 seconds off Denver at 20:47.52), Makena Bohannon (21:53.69), Lily Castro (22:01.82), Jasmine Chuey (22:54.07) and Skylar Mendes (23:07.81) finishing second, fourth, fifth, seventh and eighth, respectively.

tage senior Waechter, who won the challenging girls’ and boys’ races in 20:14.22 and 17:02.01. Both finished about half a minute faster than their top challengers on the hilly 3-mile course. “Throughout the whole race I was feeling pretty strong,” said Denver. “Going up varsity hill, it got a lot tougher, but I was just keeping in my mind to stay strong and push myself.” Waechter, who finished third in the event last year, held off Liberty’s Delgado, who appeared to suffer calf discomfort dur-
ing the race after initially taking the lead. “It would have been a really close race (had Delgado not suffered calf pain),” said Waechter. Next up for all Bay Valley Athletic League squads is the North Coast Section championship Nov. 17 for a shot to advance to the state meet. The North Coast Section meet is scheduled for Nov. 17 at Hayward High School. To view video and a slideshow, visit www.thepress.net/multimedia
Cornerstone Christian continues strong athletic tradition by Michael Dixon Correspondent
Antioch’s Cornerstone Christian has developed a formidable athletic program in recent years. With strong seasons from the school’s football teams and what figures to be a strong year from both the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams, the Cougars are building on that tradition. Cornerstone’s flag football team has already completed a successful season. Led by head coach Robert Russell and assistant Kamel Johnson, the Cougars won their third consecutive league title. The eight-man tackle football team excelled under head coach Logan Heyer and assistant Steve Miner as well. The Cougars went 9-0 led by junior quarterback Caed Miner (545 passing yards, 11 passing touchdowns, 538 rushing yards, 10 rushing touchdowns), junior running back Mike Valle (974 rushing yards, 18 touchdowns) and players like Dominic Tsukerman and Matthew Broad. As coach of the girls’ basketball team, Alfonzo Edwards will oversee a team that will look quite similar to last season’s squad. “We’re just trying to reach out and let people know that we’re still here,” Edwards said. “To let people know that our little program is still thriving.” Three seniors – Kayleen Dellinger, Nia Russell and reigning league MVP Alaina Morrison – lead a strong group of returning players.
The Cougars are loaded with other returning players including juniors Juliana Rodriguez, April Davis, Emily Elsberry, April Fuller, Deer Valley transfer Gbemi Falase and sophomore Kenzie Dellinger. That group, along with four freshmen, will look to improve on a season in which Cornerstone went 18-8 overall, 7-2 in league play and qualified for the North Coast Section (NCS) playoffs. “The last few years has really been gathering girls that had basically just started playing basketball,” Edwards said. “Now we’re taking them into a level of really understanding the game and really teaching a disciplined, under-control and fast-pace tempo.” With coach Ezra Hunter at the helm, the boys’ team is also looking to improve on a successful season. The Cougars went 27-5 overall last season, went 10-1 in league, and lost in the NCS Final. Returning league MVP, sophomore Jacob Ebert, will certainly help that cause. Joining Ebert will be junior James Ebert and sophomore Ezra Hunter III, who were both First Team All-League a season ago. Juniors Michael Garrett Hogan and Jaden Peralta also return, as do Broad, Miner and Tsukerman. “Coach has been coaching these guys since they were in junior high,” Edwards said. “He’s been coaching them since they were in sixth or seventh grade. They’re now in tenth and eleventh. That’s something that’s very unique and very special about this group of kids.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net

Tennis stars shine at BVAL tennis tourney by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer
Freedom’s Alexis Matabuena is unstoppable in the Bay Valley Athletic League tournament. The top-seed junior defeated seventhseed Paige Sullivan of Heritage 6-0, 6-2 last week to win the tournament for the third consecutive year. “I was a little nervous in the beginning, but I was able to calm down,” she said. “(Sullivan) played really well. It was a really tough match, but I thankfully fought through.” Matabuena was sensational during the two-day affair at Diamond Hills Sports Club and Spa in Oakley. She defeated Deer Valley’s Chloe Branson, the sixth seed, 100; Heritage’s Natasha Siao 10-2; Deer Valley’s Kayla Autojay, the eighth-seed, 6-1, 6-3; and Heritage’s Nicolett Alexander, the fourth-seed, 6-1, 6-0, before knocking off Sullivan to win it all. The Heritage duo of Kassy Cho and Alyssa Duran, the second-seed squad, were equally impressive, knocking off teammates and top-seed squad Morgan McNamara and Kaitlyn Hill 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 to capture the doubles crown. “It kind of started out tough, I don’t think we warmed up as well as we should have,” said Cho. “Throughout the match we were really stressed so we made up for that by laughing.” The team’s easygoing mentality paid

benefits of exercise in helping people to control their weight. Common sense tells us that in order to achieve and maintain significant weight loss, you need to burn more calories than you consume. But, did you know that flaxseed products might be able to help? The oil is actually a powerful antioxidant that can help to boost your metabolism. Whole or ground flaxseed provides you with dietary fiber that makes you feel fuller and omega-3 fatty acids that could possibly curb your cravings for sweets. In addition, fiber makes us feel more full on less food, making it less likely that we will overeat.

The Heritage and Liberty girls’ water polo teams won their North Coast Section quarterfinal games last week, setting up a semifinal contest between the two Bay Valley Athletic League squads. Second-seed Heritage held off seventh-seed Clayton Valley 8-5, while thirdseed Liberty defeated sixth-seed Amador Valley 13-11. Heritage charged out to a 7-1 lead, before the Ugly Eagles pulled within 8-5 but drew no closer. Ella Simone, Kayla Longoria,
For people who have been sedentary, any amount of physical activity is beneficial, including walking, swimming and water aerobics. Start out slowly and gradually increase the pace and duration of such activities. Low-intensity activities – such as taking a short walk or raking leaves – won’t raise your resting energy expenditure as much as high-intensity activities will, but they have other advantages. They reduce body fat and build muscle, and muscle burns more calories than fat does. Regular physical activity of any sort temporarily curbs your appetite. People joke that after a workout they feel extremely hungry, and that as a result they promptly indulge in a snack. Exercise raises resting energy expenditure, so people continue to burn calories at a relatively high rate. Therefore, a moderate post-exercise snack does not erase the

Young tennis player performs on national stage The county’s top 16 9- and 10-year-old tennis players recently gathered in Austin, Texas, to play in the Little Mo’s Tennis Championship. This elite group of players first had to qualify for the national event by competing in the Northern California Sectional tournament at the University of Pacific in Stockton this summer. The top four from that event met with the best in the West Coast region (Including Southern California, Arizona, Nevada and the Northwest) at the Berkeley Tennis Club in early September. Krey Elementary School student Joseph Nau played incredible tennis at both events, making it to the finals of the Norcal Sectional and the semifinals of the West Coast regional. Only the top four from each of the U.S. regions would make it to the national tournament in Austin, Texas. These top players met together in late September to celebrate their incredible success in making it to that level and to compete with the best in the nation. Joseph, excited to play the top players in the country, defeated the third seed (a resident of Atlanta) in the first round, 7-6, 6-0, playing amazing tennis, overpowering his opponent with driving topspin forehands. In the quarterfinals, Joseph played a very strong op-

ponent from Dallas. After half a day of rain delays, the match started at 7 p.m. and was played under the lights of the Austin Tennis Center with an electric feel in the air. Joseph lost the first set 6-4 but, determined to do his best, came back to win the second set 6-2 backed by the support of a roaring crowd.

Running every shot down and fighting for every point, Joseph won a third set super tiebreaker 10-2 to make it to the semifinals. Joseph would succumb 6-2, 6-2 in the semifinals to a very talented junior from New York – who eventually won the tournament with little resistance from any other opponent. The tennis on both sides was extremely high quality, and Joseph competed like a champion to the end, knowing the significance of his accomplishment. The youngster began playing tennis in his backyard with a net and foam ball when he was just 3 years old. When he turned 5, he joined Diamond Hills Sports Club and began practicing with his family and coaches five days a week. He started playing in 10-and-under level tournaments in Northern California before he turned 6 years old. At just 9 years old, Joseph was one of the youngest players in the draw in the Austin nationals. Joseph aspires to be a tennis professional when he grows up. He knows it takes a lot of hard work and passion, which he’s ready to continue to bring on the court every day. “I am proud of what I did and hope I can do the same next year or even better,” he said.

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.

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-15-691775-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 OF TRUSTEE’S SALE 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 this 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 (866)-9608299 or visit this Internet Web site http:// www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/ DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices. aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2017-03331-CA. 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.

A formal election was scrapped after five members sought to fill the five-member board. For more information on the future members’ compensation, see item 8A at https://bit.ly/2QpBZ4v.

Naval successes shaped mayor’s life KYLE SZYMANSKI
A
s a young, naïve kid descending from a plane onto a ship thousands of feet below, Brentwood Mayor Bob Taylor had
no idea the experience would land him on the path to an adventurous, successful life. But as he sat in MJ’s Cafe this week, some 50 years after his Vietnam experience, the four-term mayor drew a line back to that historic time – and all points forward led to a productive, happy journey. “I don’t think I would have been as successful (if I hadn’t joined the Navy),” Taylor said. “It offered me the advantage to go to college; it taught me morality, ethics, education. It opened up a world of opportunity for me.” Taylor spent four years, two terms, in Vietnam as an admiral aide in the Navy’s Commander Carrier Division seven, but his voyage began on a whim in the early 1960’s when the Virginia high school graduate decided on a whim to join the armed forces. “They said, ‘Do you know where Vietnam is?’” Taylor remembers a recruiter asking him in the early ’60s. “I said, ‘No, where’s that?’ But I said, ‘Yeah, I’ll go.’” That decision led Taylor into a whirlwind of maintaining officers’ records in mostly combat zones at times fraught with violence and death. Where the admiral went, Taylor followed, even if it meant catapulting off an aircraft, high lining at sea from a carrier to a

Mayor Bob Taylor, seen here as a young Naval sailor, credits his four-year stint in the Navy for shaping who he is today. destroyer, dodging enemy planes as they whisked above or listening in on frightful moments of despair. “I remember listening to a U.S. pilot shot down by
the Vietnamese,” Taylor said. “(The pilot) was giving in explicit detail that he parachuted out, that he was at these coordinates, then he said, ‘I can see I am trying to land on an open field, I can see the Viet Cong, I’m getting ready to hit the ground. I am now surrounded.’ Then his radio went dead.” Taylor was one of the lucky ones. He not only survived but persevered, earning National Defense Service, Vietnam Campaign and Vietnam Service medals, along with a Navy Unit Commendation Ribbon and a college education that sent him on the fast track to accomplishment. “From (the Navy), I aspired to be somebody and contribute,” he said. Taylor’s 51-year excursion since his honorable discharge in 1967 is, not surprisingly, dotted with small victories. He went on to get married and raise two boys, compiling a lengthy work resume as a delivery driver, salesman, farmer, Liberty Union High School District Board member, Brentwood City Councilman and now mayor. The city under his leadership in the past 12 years has prospered with infrastructure improvements and a population surge, along with a handful of lasting mementos – a big red chair and an evolving gazebo – that Taylor threw in himself. Now in his 70s and still going strong, the final leg of his expedition is still to be written. But he knows where it began, and it’s been a successful ride. “I have had fun throughout my entire journey,” he said. “I have been very blessed.” To view a video, visit thepress.net/multimedia

Laura Cunha and her team at Stonecrest Lending specialize in loans for veterans and also provide workshops for vets and realtors alike.
advocating for veterans are at
the forefront of her mission as a lender. She opened Stonecrest Lending in 2009 in the midst of the mortgage crisis, and she and her team pride themselves on professionalism with a personal touch. “I opened … with a purpose of providing our community a place where they could walk in and meet face-to-face with a lender whose core values are honesty and kindness,” Cunha said. During her time in business, she also made a point to further educate herself about veterans, a demographic she said was not getting offers accepted. With the findings from her investigation, Cunha launched two workshops – one for veterans and one for realtors. “There are so many misconceptions of ON THE COVER: Laura Cunha, owner of Stonecrest Lending in Oakley, standing in front of the Oakley Veterans Memorial. Cunha’s business offers a variety of home-lending options for veterans and their families.

this financing even today,” said Cunha. “I took it on as a personal mission to help our veterans and educate as many as I can.” Since creating the workshops, Cunha has traveled around Northern California to share the information, firmly believing that education is key. She further noted most veterans are not familiar with the loan benefits available to them when they’re discharged and are always happy to learn the details. “Did you know you can do 100 percent
loan even on a refinance? No other loan program offers that,” Cunha explained. “This is by far the best loan for our clients who are honorably discharged.” Stonecrest Lending has also been a main supporter of the Veterans of Oakley as well as other local veteran organizations. The group was a significant supporter backing the Oakley Veterans Memorial, which was built in 2014, through fundraising, sponsoring a bench and donating a brick in honor of
every veterans loan the team had closed. The total contribution for this effort came in over $6,500. And customers rave about the experience they find at Stonecrest. “Excellent service! Stonecrest’s team is very well organized, provides full explanation every step of the way and is wonderfully patient with its clients; fully understanding that home financing is the most complex financial agreement most persons enter,” said Oakley resident David H., in an online five-star Yelp review. “They made me feel that my loan was their foremost concern. I was especially impressed because my home financial package was a VA loan, which by nature can be byzantine. Laura Cunha guided me through the process and gave me the confidence to expect a positive outcome.” While Cunha noted most people are stressed to meet in regard to finances, she often tells clients they will be happier when they leave than when they came in. “What motivates me daily is to see how appreciative a veteran is when you help them provide the pathway to homeownership and the stability it creates for their family,” Cunha said. “Veterans fought for our land, they deserve to own a piece of it. We will do everything we can to make this happen.” For more information, visit https:// stonecrestlending.net or call 925-625-1471. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.

rilogy at the Vineyards is home to Contra Costa County’s largest veterans group.
The Trilogy at the Vineyards Veterans Association (TVVA) has an impressive 118 members and a long to-do list. Founded in 2015, the group is an active supporter of veterans in East County. “I like the camaraderie amongst the members,” said Dave Smith, the group’s supply officer. “And I like that we can do a lot of good, and our goal is to give back to other veterans.” Smith, who served as a military police officer during the Vietnam War, has participated in many fundraisers and service opportunities afforded through the TVVA. The organization raises money through events like poker tournaments and ensures that it all goes back to local veterans. “One thing we like to do is go to

We host barbecues down there or fix them ice cream sundaes, and we’ll even take them into the rooms of the guys who can’t leave their rooms. It’s good for them to have a break from the institutionalized food and get some company.” The TVVA Commander is Clifton Louie,
a former Army pharmaceutical officer. After 21 years in the military, he dedicated his time to helping those who needed it. “We’re a relatively new group,” explained Louie. “We are serving veterans who need some assistance, either old or young, and we have members of all five armed services in our group. It’s a good cross section of the armed services. We are all about
serving the community and serving veterans.” The TVVA has served its community in many ways. The group sponsors scholarships for veteran students to local colleges as well as Pets for Vets, which gives pets to veterans with PTSD who may benefit from a furry friend. They support long-term care patients at the Veterans Affairs (VA) Hospital in Livermore and Fisher House, which provides temporary free housing to current and former military members and their families. They are also part of Stand Down on the Delta, a four-day event offering a myriad of services to veterans in need. The TVVA also hosts blood drives for the Red Cross, supports Shepherd’s Gate, and the Heritage High School Jr. Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) Program. The TVVA meets the third Thursday of each month from 4 to 5 p.m., at the Mount Diablo Event Center, 1700 Trilogy Parkway, in Brentwood.

developments may be over 55, but they haven’t let
middle age slow them down one bit. The Summerset Veterans Club was begun 21 years ago by veterans who wanted to continue serving their community and country as civilians. The men and women in the club have come up with many ways to meet that goal. Leo McGoff, a 25-year Army veteran, has traveled with world in defense of our country. He now works to help veterans in need of assistance. “My responsibility is to assist vets seeking service records, medals, etcetera,” McGoff explained. “We also provide vets and their survivors with information on benefits and burials and work with Contra Costa County to get

paperwork and things of that nature for them.” McGoff said what he enjoys most about the club is the ability to continue serving. “Most of the people in the club are veterans of varying degrees who served from two years up to 30 years,” McGoff said. “Most of them are committed to serving their country and constituents in various ways.”

One of the club’s regular outreach projects is to supply tablets and phones for PTSD patients to the Martinez Veterans group at the Martinez hospital. McGoff explained that while the vets’ basic accommodations are taken care of, many of them can’t afford a tablet or phone to help with rehabilitation or to call home. The group also fills other needs
occasionally, such as a gas card, a ticket to go home or a dinner out. The Summerset Veterans Club provides both Memorial Day and Veterans Day programs for the development and the assisted living facility at Cortona Park. They also have annual fundraising events for their projects, which include Toys for Tots and support of the Jr. ROTC program at Heritage High School in Brentwood. Lee Alley is the group’s treasurer and a member for the past three years. He said the group is full of great people. “I enjoy (the work we do),” Alley said. “We are mostly veterans for veterans.

He worked with the gentleman to write credit letters and restore his credit rate for the optimal loan and later dedicated a day of driving to another county to view a home he could afford. Graydon teared up when he recalled the man’s reaction to owning a home for the first time. In a five-star studded profile on Zillow, other clients commended Graydon’s service. “Jim is the epitome of a consummate professional,” said Michael Lane, client. “I was extremely impressed with Jim’s industry acumen and ability to see the forest for the trees.

I know what to look out for, what not to do and how to prepare my clients, and I will always answer my phone.

Members of the Brentwood Veterans of Foreign Wars support their fellow veterans as well as numerous local organizations and charities.
T
he Brentwood Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) is comprised of men and
women who have fought in overseas conflicts. While not all veterans are eligible to join this organization, the VFW helps all veterans, no matter their branch or service record. Steve Todd, Commander of the Brentwood VFW, keeps his fellow members busy serving veterans and advocating on their behalf. The group has branched out to help veterans in the local community in countless ways. Initially, their goal was to support veterans who needed help filing claims and obtaining medical benefits. Over time, they have come to support Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Jr. ROTC programs, the Veterans Day ceremony at Veterans Park, Toys for Tots, and a wheel chair program. They are also part of Stand Down on the Delta, an event that provides services like medical care, mental health services and housing aid to veterans who need help. The Brentwood VFW also coordinates with neighboring veterans organizations to

Whether a vet needs a new roof or a new faucet, they’re there to help. The group even has an electrician who spends much of his time helping veterans fix wiring problems. “I like being able to help veterans out, and I like the camaraderie,” said Mike Meyokovich, an Air Force veteran and owner of M3 Electric. “Any time a disabled veteran or a widow calls up, we always go out and fix their electrical.

ounded in 2015, Veterans of Oakley (VOO) is a nonprofit group of
veterans helping veterans. “Our purpose is to serve veterans, especially veterans of East County,” explained John Amie, VOO Board of Directors secretary. “We help those who are under-represented for benefits and eligibility for benefits, and we work closely with other groups out here in East County.” One of VOO’s ongoing projects is the memorial bricks for the Oakley Veterans Memorial. The group accepts donations for the bricks, which are inscribed and placed in the ground at the Veterans Memorial. Amie said that many businesses and individuals have taken advantage of the program to support a veteran. The group also supports veteran events like Stand Down on the Delta, a large-scale fourday operation that provides free services for veterans. Amie was in the Air Force during the Vietnam War. He was part of an air rescue and recovery squadron whose mission was to pick up downed air crew in North Vietnam. A military brat growing up, Amie has lived all over the world but appreciates the advantages Oakley and its veterans have to offer. He is one

I got involved with the Veterans of Oakley in an attempt to recapture that time of my life in healthy way.” VOO meets every Tuesday for Coffee with a Vet a Jaliscos in Oakley at 8:30 a.m. Amie said the purpose of the meetings is to make veterans feel welcome and give them a place where they are honored and respected and can receive whatever assistance they need.

Where to turn for assistance, services RUTH ROBERTS
A
ccording to the California Department of Veteran Affairs (CalVet), California
is home to 1.8 million veterans, representing roughly 8 percent of the total U.S. veteran population. Not surprisingly, California also has the highest demand for benefits and services for veterans from discharge through the aging process. One organization working to assist veterans and guide them through the variety of services available is the VA Northern California Health Care System (VANCHCS). The VANCHCS is an integrated health care delivery system, offering a comprehensive array of medical, surgical, rehabilitative, mental health and extended care to veterans in Northern California. The health system is comprised of a medical center in Sacramento, a rehabilitation and extended care facility in Martinez, and seven outpatient clinics. “There is always a need for donations,” said Maria Almes, VANCHCS chief of voluntary services. “We are looking for (new) clothing, gift cards and food. We receive a great deal of help, but there is always room for more.” For donation information or ways to help, visit, www.northerncalifornia.va.gov or call 925-372-2000 or 800-382-8387. If you are a veteran looking for services or know of someone who needs assistance, visit www.va.gov or call 415-970-2216. Here in East County, Discovery Bay’s Some Gave All Foundation, founded by Kevin Graves, offers support and help for those who continue to serve and for the families of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. Graves founded the nonprofit organization in 2006 after his

Annual events, including Veterans Day on the Delta, Joey Graves Memorial Golf Tournament and Run for the Fallen, raise money for veterans and their families while honoring those who serve or have served. Graves, who also works for CalVet, said that one of the biggest messages veterans organizations strive to articulate are the various state and federal services available to veterans and their families. From health benefits, job assistance, housing help, advocacy, education, VA claims and more, the first step is reaching out. “I encourage all veterans to see what benefits are available to them and what are not, and the best way to do that is to start with the county veterans service office in Martinez,” said Graves. The Martinez office welcomes dropin visitors as well as appointments. For more information, contact the county veterans service office at 925-3131481.
