submitting applications. I think we’re really happy with the people we have on the committee.” In November, the DPC approved the appointment of 15 committee members representing the five Delta counties — Contra Costa, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Solano and Yolo — plus four ex officio members. Erik Vink, DPC executive director, serves as the committee chair. A vice chair is expected to be selected during the February committee meeting. “The big deliverable for us is the management plan,” Roberts said. “It will set up what

OAKLEY Aaron Meadows may be new to the Oakley City Council, but he knows the community well. He’s lived nearly his entire life in Oakley, and his family stretches back about 110 years in the city. His grandfather owned Cutino’s Feed & Tire Center on Main Street for about 40 years, and Meadows himself has been involved in the construction and property management business in Oakley since the early 1990s. He currently owns A. Meadows Property Management on Main Street. “(Oakley) has definitely changed,” he said. The longtime Oakleyite says he’s always kept a finger on the pulse of the community and is now ready to take on a city leadership role, since his children are older. He previously served on the Oakley Municipal Advisory Council for six years in the 1990s, which advised the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors on Oakley-area issues before the city’s incorporation. He has also been a Delta Association of Realtors director and president and a California Apartment Association director. “I have always paid attention and been involved in my way,” he said. “I got involved in the local real estate association but didn’t feel like I had the time to run for council, due to having a family.”

REGIONAL On the heels of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s announcement of a school reopening plan, East County superintendents weighed in on its feasibility. The proposal, introduced by Newsom Dec. 30, has yet to gain the approval and funding from the state legislature. And school district officials were quick to point out that until that happens, they’re all playing the waiting game. On its face, the plan outlines four pillars to facilitate school reopenings, including: funding; safety and mitigation measures for classrooms; oversight and assistance for schools; and transparency and accountability for families and staff.

Advisory committee goes to work by Tony Kukulich Staff Writer

REGIONAL Amid the seemingly endless stories of threats to the Delta and the people who depend upon it, there is an occasional bright spot. The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta was designated as a national heritage area (NHA) in March 2019. On Tuesday, Jan. 5, the first meeting of the NHA Management Plan Advisory Committee was held to begin the process of shaping the Delta NHA. “The NHA designation for the Delta is a national recognition of something people here have known for a long

time — this is a nationally significant place with a nationally significant rich story, or more accurately, stories,” said Mike Moran, supervising naturalist at Big Break Regional Shoreline and ex officio member of the advisory committee. “Through the organization and coordination of the myriad stakeholders under the Delta Protection Commission and National Park Service, we can more readily share those known and yet-tobe-known stories.” The task of managing the development of the Delta NHA rests with the Delta Protection Commission (DPC). The NHA designation requires the com-

mission to complete a management plan that will guide NHA activities for the next 10 to 15 years. Last fall, the commission chartered the advisory committee to ensure public engagement in the development of that plan, and a call was made for applicants interested in serving on that committee. “One of the things that we specified in the charter was geographic diversity, generational diversity and cultural diversity,” explained Blake Roberts, Delta NHA coordinator for the DPC. “We were seeking a lot of different people to serve on the committee. With that, we were able to get a good array of people

Future of Broken Road Farm in question by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer

BRENTWOOD The city recently decided to limit large commercial events at the popular Broken Road Farm. The 2-acre Minnesota Avenue farm blossomed into a local favorite last year for its array of fun and educational farm themes, composting, garden and other small-group events. But city officials recently notified the owners Sara and Greg Mires that current zoning regulations and COVID-19 restrictions prohibit large commercial activities on the property. The revelation means farm events that drew as many as 100 visitors must now be noncommercial and reduced to about 10 people. Brentwood Assistant City Manager Terrence Grindall confirmed that city staff will seek council input on potential future zoning updates in February. “We may allow more home occupations if the council gives us direction in that area,” Grindall said. “That really is what this is. (Mires) lives (on the farm) and she does some occupation, so if the council allows that, then some limited commercial (activities) with conditions may be allowed, but we still need to get council input on that.” The possible future zoning alterations are a ray of potential hope for the farm fans, who have fallen in love with its offerings. “Maybe one day, we will be able to be a City of Brentwood business, but for now we can’t,” said Sara, who began hosting

Due to city zoning regulations and COVID-19 restrictions, Broken Road Farm in Brentwood has been forced to limit its number of visitors. Owners Sara and Greg Mires are hoping a change in city policy may reverse their limitations. the COVID-safe events shortly after the pandemic took hold. “We are just trying to get the word out to try to make this type of environment a priority.” Sara and Greg are hopeful that the community’s love for the site will sprout positive changes. Broken Road supporters have written at least 50 letters of support for the farm that will likely be used to petition for future change. Local resident Danielle Williams,

whose daughter volunteers at the farm, said it’s in a convenient location and promotes a sense of community. “It’s good, especially during all of this quarantine,” Williams said. “It’s outdoors, you can remain socially distanced, and it gives the kids a little sense of purpose. We really liked it.” Fellow resident Leigh Burns Quan agrees. “Nowhere in this area can families and

children learn what farming and ranching entails quite like they can at Broken Road,” Burns Quan said. “Our city was built on the backs of the farming community, and it is so important for the next generation to understand and appreciate that way of life. This farm is a window into our city history, while being just what modern kids and families need.” Sara said she’s willing to do whatever is needed to continue her beloved endeavor that has morphed into a labor of love. The Mireses eyed and eventually purchased the property in 2019. Sara, having never owned a farm or farm animals besides chickens, began volunteering at a Walnut Creek mini horse rescue to gain experience. Within a month, she was lugging home two donkeys and a blind goat of her own. “It just kind of slowly started from there,” said Sara, whose animal crew now also includes mini Highland cows, chickens and ducks. “We started to slowly figure out what we were doing.” As the pandemic struck, Mires said the animals and farm life served as a safe sanctuary for activity-starved children and adults looking to escape a cooped-up lifestyle. “I said I will start making things here, then we grew very quickly,” Sara said. “It went from providing some safe fun for a few people to people wanting to reserve spots and things being sold out.” For more information about Broken Road Farm, visit www.facebook.com/ brokenroadfarmca.

Family reconnects after 60 years by Dawnmarie Fehr Correspondent

BRENTWOOD In the fall of last year, twin brothers Steve and Dave Bibel reconnected with their birth mother, thanks to genetic testing. The brothers were adopted at birth in 1960 and never knew anything about their biological parents or why they were placed for adoption. Prompted by curiosity about his past and the desire for a personal medical history, Brentwood resident Steve joined 23andMe, a genomics and biotechnology company. He ended up finding more than he bargained for. “I received a message through 23andMe from a woman named Betty asking me about details in my bio,” Steve said, noting that his bio stated he was looking for his birth parents. “She said she could be my aunt.” Betty then questioned her older sister, Marge Garguilo, and was able to confirm the story. Sixty years ago, Garguilo was 19 when she found herself pregnant in New York state. Her mother then sent her to her aunt in California to give birth to her babies, where she was given little choice in their future, aside from the choice of giving them life. Garguilo said she never told anyone at the time about her pregnancy, including her sister, Betty. “I had just turned 19,” she recalled. “They sent me to California to live with my aunt. So no one knew about it except for my

Garguilo, as a young pregnant teen, gave up her boys for adoption in 1960. mother, father, grandmother and my aunt.” Garguilo spent her time in California working the front desk of her aunt’s pet salon in Glendale. When the time came to give birth, she was surprised with not one, but two babies. She was able to make two conditions attached to their adoption – they must stay together, and they must go to a Catholic family. Steve and Dave were adopted by an older couple and grew up in Southern California. Garguilo returned home, where she married and went on to have three chil-

dren with her husband. She said she did tell him of her previous pregnancy before getting married. “Children’s services did send me a picture of them, and then that was it,” Garguilo said. “Years later, I tried to locate them, but never could. They were always on my mind.” Now, 60 years later, Garguilo said this relationship has been everything she hoped for. When she learned of her Betty’s connection with Steve, she reached out and met her twin sons for the first time through Google Duo.

“It’s amazing,” Steve said of meeting his birth mother and half siblings. “It’s opened up a new window of family . . . we had some closure, because I know a lot more about our biological family and our mom, and she has been a Godsend. She has been very transparent, very open and honest, and it’s been amazing getting to know her.” In November, Steve and Dave both flew to Phoenix – where Garguilo lives – to celebrate her 80th birthday and meet their new family in person. Before meeting the Bibels, Garguilo said she prepared her family. She called her sons who live far away and drove to tell her daughter – who lives nearby – about her first pregnancy. Now the connection has been made, she said she has enjoyed getting to know a whole new group of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. “There’s nothing negative in this story,” she said. “The only negative thing for me is I waited all these years with this revolving thing inside of me wondering, and saying I wish I knew, but at least everything has turned out wonderful.” Her sons agree. Dave – a hospice chaplain in Dallas – said he is thankful for his birth mother’s courage in the face of social disapproval when she chose to give them life. “When I think about what she had to do, knowing she didn’t have a place to go if she was thinking about keeping us, she had to make some decisions, and she made decisions that were life-changing for me and my brother,” he said.

BRENTWOOD A local group is seeking soaps along with new and gently used coats for those in need. “As you empty your closets this year to make way for your new clothes and coats, we hope that you will consider donating your gently used winter coats and jackets to the Hijas del Campo Coats & Soaps Donation Drive,” said Brentwood Councilmember Karen Rarey. Rarey has partnered with Hijas del Campo to revive the successful Coats & Soaps Donation Drive she began back in 2003 as a Brentwood Kiwanian. The previous annual winter donation drives spanned a period of four years and resulted in over a thousand new and gently used coats and jackets being donated, as well as soaps and shampoos, to the families of migrant farm workers. Hijas del Campo, which translates to Daughters of the Field, is a Contra Costa County grassroots organization, which has filed for its 501(c)3 nonprofit status. Its aim is to help migrant and seasonal farm workers improve their quality of life, including health, safety and working conditions.

tile patterns and buyers are looking for chevron patterns, subway tile or other dramatic patterns. I would caution you to be EXTREMELY careful in this area because when this goes out of style and the traditional tile patterns come back in vogue, this could be an expensive fix! Quartz counters are very popular and granite is less popular. Quartz has more options for getting just the right look you want, although it’s more uniform than granite. Quartz is actually more durable than granite and doesn’t need re-sealing. Buyers still say they prefer hardwood floors, but there are some great new options for luxury vinyl and laminate flooring that look like hardwood but are so much easier to care for, don’t scratch and stand up to water better. So check out your flooring options first before spending big bucks on hardwood. If you have questions about real estate, call me at (925) 240-MOVE (6683). Voted “Best of Brentwood” multiple times.

For many years buyers were looking for smaller homes closer to work. They weren’t spending much time at home anyways because they were either at work or commuting. And they wanted smaller homes just to have less to maintain and to keep it affordable. But now with so many people working and schooling from home, that’s been flipped on it’s head! Now many buyers want bigger homes with more rooms. They are less worried about commute times and often prefer suburbs over a big city, and there is even a big increase in interest in rural communities over suburbs. We are seeing changes to buyer’s desires for the interior of the home, as well. Many buyers are looking for big, luxurious bathrooms. Glass block bathroom walls used to be a popular way to brighten dark bathrooms by adding natural light, but most buyers don’t really care for them. If your bathroom needs more light, consider adding a skylight or LED lighting which are more efficient than the old bulbs. There is also a move away from traditional

Najee Harris garners prestigious honors College football observers have long suggested Antioch product Najee Harris — now playing for the University of Alabama — was one of the best running backs in the nation. Now he has the awards to prove it. Harris, a senior, was recently named to All-American first teams put out by the American Football Coaches Association, The Sporting News, the Football Writers Association of America and the Associated Press. Harris has rushed 229 times this season for 1,387 yards and 24 touchdowns, in addition to hauling in 36 receptions for 346 yards and three touchdowns. He’s scored in 10 of Alabama’s 12 games and two or more times in eight of those games. The gaudy numbers have left him the nation’s leader in rushing and total touchdowns, third in rushing yards and fifth in yards, with 1,733. Even more impressive, Harris is now the school’s all-time leader in total touchdowns (54), rushing touchdowns (44) and rushing yards (3,764). His success is hardly a surprise. Harris ended his Antioch High

School career as the areas best-ever running back, rushing for 7,948 yards and 94 touchdowns. He averaged 9.5 yards a carry and 193.9 yards a game. He had at least 30 college offers on the table, according to Rivals recruiting service, before settling on the University of Alabama.

About four years later, and after he’s run roughshod over elite college competition, he figures to be a lock for the NFL. But first he’s got some more college business to tend to. He’s a finalist for the Doak Walker Award, given to the nation’s premier running back, with Iowa State’s Breece Hall

and Clemson’s Travis Etienne. Harris’ Crimson Tide are also set to clash with Ohio State for the national title on Jan. 11. Alabama is gunning for its third national championship in six seasons. To view Harris’s complete stats, visit https://bit.ly/2KTIGhS.

Liberty releases new season’s baseball caps The Liberty baseball team recently completed the reveal of its new uniforms by showing off their new hats. One full cardinal-colored edition will feature a gold L on the front, with a shucked corncob on the back. Meanwhile, a black-colored version will also be utilized, featuring a red bill and lion head at the center of the cap. A golden L is prominently displayed at the lower back of the hat. The reveal of the hats come weeks after the team’s new uniforms were released. One uniform set features full cardinal

jerseys, with the players’ number in gold in the bottom left front corner, ‘LHS’ displayed in the upper right corner and the Adidas logo in the upper left corner. White pants with red pinstripes finish the uniform set. The jersey in the second uniform set features cardinal sleeves underneath a white jersey adorned with cardinal red pinstripes. ‘Lions’ written in a cardinal color outlined in yellow is displayed prominently across the front, with the players’ number located in the bottom right corner. This uniform set also features white pants with red pinstripes.

This week in Press’ sports history In 2018, the Liberty girls’ basketball team won the West Coast Jamboree Turquoise Division. Led by tournament MVP junior guard Trudi Hartman, Liberty downed Santa Rosa 50-46, Encinal 66-58, and Manteca 60-48 to win the tournament. In addition to getting her teammates involved in the game, Hartman put up seven vs. Santa Rosa, 23 against Encinal and 12 in the championship game against Manteca. Joining Hartman on the all-tournament team were senior forward Aubrey Robinson and sophomore Kennedy Fountain.

Robinson primarily earned honors due to solid defense and rebounding but scored 6, 9 and 3 in the three games. Head coach Josh Ellcessor, meanwhile, called Fountain the team’s most consistent scorer. She netted 11 and 9 in the first two games and finished with 22 in the final. Also helping the Lions to victory was junior center Emily Jacobson, who controlled the glass through the tournament and scored 12 against Santa Rosa. Senior Haley Reyes, who the coach called “the glue of this team,” played strong defense and added 4, 5 and 12 points over the three games. Freshman Jaina Torres, meanwhile, added 7, 10 and 6.

Heritage High counts down historic sports moments The Heritage High School Athletic Department launched a virtual campaign to take a look back at the school’s 15 top athletic moments in its first 15 years. The standout contests and feats were voted on by a panel of longtime Heritage coaches and administrators. The school began the trip down memory lane this week by honoring those moments that barely missed the cut. They include the girls’ basketball team knocking off 13-time defending San Joaquin Section champion St. Mary’s (Stockton) to win the Gold Division of the West Coast Jamboree

WHY YOU NEED A REVOCABLE LIVING TRUST

by Joan Grimes, Esq.

Over the years, I have written a lot of articles for the Brentwood Press. My goal in writing these articles has been to cover more estate planning issues. However, I realize some of you may be new to my articles. I often meet with clients who admit they were too embarrassed to ask: “What is a revocable living trust and why do I need one?” And my favorite question is: “Why did my parents not have a trust?” These are excellent questions! First, your parents may not have had a trust, but rather had a simple will. Several decades ago, this was fine. After their passing, their will was probated and the assets were distributed to their beneficiaries. However, today the process of probating a will in court has become extremely time consuming and expensive. Second, what is a Revocable Living Trust (RLT)? A RLT is a legal instrument that serves two important purposes: 1) the RLT controls how your assets are used and managed if you experience a period of incapacity prior to death; and 2) the RLT indicates how your assets will be distributed following your death without court supervision. RLTs are called “living” because they are created and funded (i.e. your assets are transferred to your trust) while you are alive. RLTs are “revocable” because you may amend or revoke it at any time prior to your incapacity or death. Your RLT can be amended at any time to update the terms. You should review the terms of your trust regularly and should consider amending the terms following a

divorce, marriage, death of a beneficiary or a significant change in your financial situation. After funding your trust, you still have complete control and ownership over your trust assets. You can sell, gift or encumber all trust property. Assets in a RLT are treated the same as direct ownership of property for income tax purposes. There are no additional taxes, tax returns or any necessity for separate taxpayer identification. Today, seniors are living longer than ever before. With medical advances, doctors are able to keep our bodies alive longer. Sadly, seniors sometimes “outlive” their minds. If you experience a period of incapacity, your RLT will indicate how your assets are to be managed during this time without court supervision. Your RLT will also indicate how you wish to be cared for. While the RLT is the foundation to a good estate plan, you also need several other critical documents including: power of attorney, advance health care directive, and HIPAA authorization. I see people Monday - Friday for a FREE 30 minute consultation in Walnut Creek and Brentwood. 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. LAW OFFICE OF JOAN M.

HEALTH & BEAUTY

JANUARY 8, 2021

Counting our blessings in the new year As I write my article each week, I try to be upbeat and stay positive during the strangest and most challenging 10 months of our lives. Complaining and sniveling is certainly understandable, but for me it’s unproductive. So again, I try to find some humor in all of this Senior sheltering-in-place. With everyone orner and everything effected by what’s happening here and around the world, some of the basics are put on indefinite hold. Yet it still boggles my mind why I can’t watch some Marla of my favorite shows. Luckhardt Not only have they adhered to the COVID protocols, but then they go on break from Christmas until after New Years and beyond - some even into the first week of February. Don’t they know we are tired of reruns of everything from “Law and Order” to those “NCIS” shows from every location? Who do they think they are? Congress? Ok, no politics. But seriously, why do we have to wait to find out what happens to Meredith on “Grey’s Anatomy” while she lies helplessly in bed? What will become of the team from “S.W.A.T.” as I worry endlessly about Jason and his bad leg. Will he still be in charge or will they put him behind a desk? How many Netflix shows can I scroll passed because they are either dubbed or with a cast that nobody has ever heard of. These are the times that truly try men’s and women’s souls, I say! Grandpa, give up the dueling remotes! The only exception for me are the “Jeopardy” reruns, but they end this week. My mom and I watched that show together on the phone and joked about how she always got final Jeopardy while I was excited to nail the $100 questions in the simple categories like movies and music from the sixties. I am extremely sad about the passing of Alex Trebek but grateful for those memories with my mom. And how about those green bananas? Grandpa and I choose to stay inside again and order groceries for either curbside pick up or delivery. What is so hard to comprehend about only green bananas and hard avocados? The absolute nerve of some people not to get those two items right on my order. And don’t even get me started on muffins. Buy one get one free, but we only want chocolate. I can’t tell you how many times they give us one chocolate and one blueberry. It’s enough to put us right over the edge. I am not sure what irks you these days

“ Another accomplishment while being at home for the last 187 days, approximately, is my ability to find dust. That stuff is everywhere and I can spot the smallest particle from 12 feet.

”

but I find the total loss of control over these major things in my life mind boggling. Thank goodness Grandpa and I have enough toilet paper to last through the winter, but each morning I rush to the pantry and count soup cans. What’s next? Some upbeat news is that I have become extremely efficient in laundry. I have this down to a science. I hate to brag, but my clothes not only smell quite fresh, my sweats are ironed and starched. Ok, I lied about the last part but we do have the cleanest clothes on the block. My folding has improved greatly, and even Grandpa is impressed with the lack of shrinkage these days. It has become quite an art. Another accomplishment while being at home for the approximately 187 days is my ability to find dust. That stuff is everywhere and, I can spot the smallest particle from 12 feet. With lightning speed, I jump up from my couch perch and dash for the Windex and rag like a ninja, maneuvering a spray, swipe and wipe in a flash. Take that you little mites of whatever you are lurking on my glass table. There are days I walk around the house searching for things to clean, but those are few and far between on any larger scale than a table or counter top. It can be exhausting, so it’s back on my perch for the most part! As I write this tongue-in-cheek piece, I am enormously grateful for what I experience every day. I pray for those that are sick and for all the people that go to work everyday so that I can survive. I look forward to the future with hope and the ability to pick out my own bananas. Until then, I am truly thankful for the delivery of them no matter what color they are, and I promise to let you know how Meredith and Jason are when I find out in February. Stay safe and well, and keep your sense of humor. I know I for one will come out on the other side of this with a whole new prospective of gratitude for things that I used to take for granted. Peace.

PUBLIC NOTICES

WWW.THEPRESS.NET

JANUARY 8, 2021

CITY NOTICES

LEGAL NOTICES

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Notice is hereby given that the Planning Commission of the City of Brentwood will, at 7:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the normal course of business permits on January 19, 2021, hold a public hearing to consider: An application for a one-year time extension for conditional use permit (CUP 19-001) and design review (DR 19-002) for an express car wash facility, known as Rainflow Express Car Wash, consisting of a 4,900 square foot car wash tunnel, 27 self-serve vacuum stalls, and nine parking stalls to be located on a 3.33+/acre parcel at 420 Sand Creek Road (APN 016-080-028). A Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act in order to assess potential environmental impacts. The Mitigated Negative Declaration and accompanying initial study was available for public review and comment in the Community Development Department for 20 days, beginning on September 24, 2019, and ending on October 15, 2019. The Planning Commission approved the Mitigated Negative Declaration at its October 15, 2019 public hearing for the project. The proposed project is consistent with the previously certified MND, with no new significant impacts and requires no further environmental review. The requested extensions of time for CUP 19-001 and DR 19-002 involve no (1) substantial changes in the project which will require major revisions of the previous MND due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous MND due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or (3) new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous MND was adopted, that shows that (A) the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous MND; (B) significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous MND; (C) mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (D) mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous MND would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. Therefore, per 14 CCR § 15162, no additional environmental review is necessary for the requested extensions at this time. The Planning Commission will take final action on this application. Applicant: Rainflow Developments LLC Due to COVID-19, and in keeping with the orders of the Contra Costa County Health Officer, the Executive Orders of the Governor, and the Emergency Orders of the Director of Emergency Services for the City of Brentwood, said Planning Commission meeting will be conducted via WebEx; no physical meeting will occur. At the time of the hearing, all interested persons are invited to appear and be heard. Due to the virtual nature of this meeting, you may participate via any of the following options: 1. WebEx. During the meeting, each period for public comment will be announced, and participants may use the “Raise Hand” feature on WebEx to request to speak. The meeting host

(If you need instructions on how to use this feature, please contact the Planning Administrative Secretary, by noon of the meeting date at planning@ brentwoodca.gov or 925.516.5433.) 2. Telephone. If you wish to comment during the meeting via telephone, a request to speak must be submitted via email to planning@brentwoodca.gov by no later than 6PM of the meeting date. The request must contain in the subject line “Request to Speak - Agenda Item #” and include the full phone number that will be used to call in.

At a closer look, those proposed plan elements range from a $2 billion budget boost and weekly school-site testing to assisting districts with COVID-19 safety plans and a state dashboard for updated school information. While Liberty Union High School District (LUHSD) Superintendent Eric Volta recognized Newsom’s plan was more focused on the younger grades and would only apply to his high school district later, he pointed out some logistical flaws. “I believe the testing of all students and staff makes the plan prohibitive. The state currently can’t keep up with the demands to test all those that want to test now. How are they going to provide timely feedback on the additional collected specimens?” Volta said. “We are in the process of finalizing a contract with a testing lab for our employees. There is a great amount of data input and monitoring that is needed for just our staff. I can’t imagine adding 8,200 students to the process.” His fellow officials from neighboring districts had similar concerns. Brentwood

Meadows

Union School District Superintendent Dana Eaton wondered who would conduct the testing or if it would be a requirement for student attendance. Oakley Union Elementary School District Superintendent Greg Hetrick agreed. “We are all in need of the same things, and the manpower necessary to make it all happen in a timely manner is proving to be difficult,” Hetrick said. Knightsen Elementary School District (KESD) Superintendent Harvey Yurkovich said that Newsom’s plan sounds great, but at present it’s all talk. “Even at this point, schools are still left on their own to figure out testing and professional development for their staff with very little support from the state,” he said. Part of Newsom’s plan also spells out a possible classroom return as early as February. The budget will propose for immediate action in January $2 billion for the safe reopening of schools beginning in February, with a priority for returning the youngest children (TK through second grade) and those who are most disproportionately impacted first. Eaton and Hetrick noted that a final

Now a councilmember, he hopes to ramp up the city’s economic development, refine the downtown vision and beef up the police force to maintain Oakley’s safe reputation. “We have been ranked the 16th safest city in California, which is a huge positive,” he said. “I want to keep that and improve on that, so being able to add the resources necessary to keep our police department progressing in the future with any growth that we have is really my number one priority.” On the economic development front, he said it’s vital that the city attract more employers, although it’s already moving in that direction with the evolving Contra Costa Logistics Center at the former DuPont chemical manufacturing facility site on Bridgehead Road. The facility is expected to generate 2,000 jobs and increase the city’s property and sales tax revenue and Community Facilities District money.

decision to return will fall on their respective district boards. Volta’s high school district has a return-to-school plan in the hands of the county and said high schools in purple tier regions will not be able to open in the hybrid model under the governor’s plan; LUHSD’s plan all along has been to return to school once back in the red tier. For the small, three-school Byron Union School District, which serves the rural population of Byron and Discovery Bay, Superintendent Reyes Guana said they’re ready to open but waiting for the county to return to the red tier. He stated he previously sent his district’s reopening plan to the county and public health department. “However, we have updated the district’s plan, and we had each school develop a plan specific to their school. We will send all updated versions for review and approval once we get the green light to submit,” he said on Monday this week. “I did hear yesterday that the state may be adjusting the criteria for schools to reopen and will know more by the end of the week.” Also a small district, KESD might

To help attract other employers, Meadows believes the city needs to refine its development processes. “Oakley is different from Antioch and Brentwood, so figuring out what fits best here (is important), and bringing those guys in, and when they do have interest, working with them and getting their projects permitted in a timely manner,” he said. Meadows added that another priority is shifting the city’s evolving downtown vision from retail to entertainment-based to align with the societal switch away from brick-and-mortar-based shopping. “My impression is that the city thought there would be more retail needs,” he said. “To me, the downtown will probably go more toward an entertainment area than a shopping area.” New Oakley Mayor Sue Higgins said she’s excited for Meadows, along with fellow council newcomers Anissa Williams and George Fuller. “They all have lots of committee commitments that

development. Some are more focused on historic preservation. The management plan is the document that defines what the course of the national heritage is going to be and what types of projects are we going to go after.” Within the advisory committee, four task groups will eventually be established focused on particular aspects of the management plan. Committee members will chair the task groups and address interpretation, resources stewardship, organization and heritage development and tourism. “I think it’s important that people know about this,” said committee member Carol Jenson, a Brentwood-based historian and author. “People don’t know about there being a federal program regarding heritage areas, and if they did, they would probably think of Colonial Williamsburg. But the Delta is a heritage area. It’s a feather in our cap. But there’s more to it than that. The big deal is that people need to be aware that, all of the sudden, the California Delta

have some reopening by February. Yurokovich felt a move to a full hybrid model would be unlikely, since the timeline around vaccines is unclear. “I believe a February timeline to see students coming to school for special support services as well as students who are experiencing severe learning loss could happen,” he continued. “The needs for our district right now are shared across all schools. We need to have our staff vaccinated before we can begin bringing back large numbers of people to campus.” Volta added that school districts in session are struggling to keep personnel on-site with the isolation and quarantine protocols during recent spikes. “We had a shortage of subs prior to the pandemic. Waiting until our local transmission rates are lower helps with keeping teachers and students in class. The learning has to be better, not worse when we return,” Volta said. “In short, I appreciate that Sacramento is finally looking at schools and their reopening. However, adding to the list of hurdles — i.e. plans, guidelines, accountability measures, or orders we need to overcome to open — is not going to help the process.”

go along with being a councilmember to help us all stay on top of the issues in our city,” she said. “I am sure they will enjoy it as much as I have, getting to know even more of our constituents and working with our sister cities to share ideas.” Meadows said he’s hopeful for the future, working alongside Higgins, Williams, Fuller and longtime member Randy Pope, who was first elected in 2010, but he acknowledges that losing the intuitional knowledge of Kevin Romick, who failed to win a seat after 16 consecutive years on the council, will be hard. “There is a learning curve for everybody,” Meadows said. “(Romick) was involved one way or another for 20 years, so he had a lot of experience and knowledge about what has happened and why it has happened here. That will be missed.” Meadows and the rest of the council are scheduled to host their first meeting of the year on Jan. 12, at 6:30 p.m. To comment, visit wwwthepress.net

has a brand-new political overlay. That is the federal government.” The Delta NHA is one of only 55 in the country and the only NHA in California. A 10-year effort to earn the designation culminated with the passage of the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management and Recreation Act, but even those involved in the effort were caught off guard when the bill passed. “We were a little surprised when it happened,” Roberts said. “I think that part of it is that you have to get a little lucky. Our bill got tossed into a bigger bill, and that got tossed into an even bigger bill. I remember looking at the Washington Post and being a little surprised that it passed the Senate on a pretty strong vote. That was February 2019, and that’s when I realized that this might actually happen, and it might happen quicker than we expected. Good fortune was on our side.” NHAs are administered as part of the National Parks Service, but they differ from national parks in several key

ways. There is no federal ownership of the land in an NHA, and they are generally areas that have been significantly altered by a human presence. They are not pristine, natural environments like Yosemite, Yellowstone or Grand Canyon national parks. Additionally, the designation will not be a factor in any decision regarding the potential construction of a tunnel through the Delta as contemplated in the Delta Conveyance Project. “These are meant to be lived in landscapes,” Roberts said. “Heritage is really about humans. We are obviously focused on the natural heritage because of the great biodiversity of the Delta. But it’s really about the human relationship with nature as opposed to being purely about nature.” For more information on the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta National Heritage Area, visit http://delta.ca.gov/NHA.
