Oakley Police chief terminated by Jake Menez Staff Writer
OAKLEY The city of Oakley has announced that Dean Capelletti, the police chief placed on administrative leave in September, has been “separated from employment” as of Nov. 18. “As this was a personnel matter, I cannot comment further about his separation,” City Manager Joshua McMurray said of the decision. “The City’s focus at this time is on searching for a new police chief who will uphold the City’s values and effectively lead the outstanding officers and employees who serve in the City Police Department.” No official reason has been given for the termination of Capelletti’s employment nor for his placement on administrative leave earlier in the year. Mayor Sue Higgins echoed McMurray’s statement, saying the current focus is the search for a new police chief, while City Attorney Derek
Oakley leaders confirmed this week that Police Chief Dean Capelletti has been “separated from employment” as of late last week.

Cole said McMurray’s statement was the only comment that could be made regarding the situation. Capelletti, an 18-year veteran of law enforcement, joined the Oakley police department in September 2020, having previously served as a captain of the La Habra Police Depart-
ment in Southern California. A Bay Area native, Capelletti cited Oakley’s “Mayberry feel” as one of the main reasons he chose to return to the Bay Area during an interview with The Press shortly after taking the role. However, by September of 2021, Capelletti had been placed
on paid administrative leave following an undisclosed incident, and an investigation was conducted. At that time, both Cole and Higgins declined to provide further information on the matter due to the active investigasee Police Chief page 22

State to improve water supply by Tony Kukulich Correspondent
REGIONAL Advocates for the environment hailed the state’s recent decision to implement updated water-flow standards in the San Joaquin River, but what the move will mean for Sacramento River flows remains to be seen. The action taken by the California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) and the California Environmental Protection Agency (CEPA) ended the voluntary agreement process for the San Joaquin River watershed. A letter dated Oct. 20 and jointly signed by CNRA Secretary Wade Crowfoot and CNRPA Secretary Jared Blumenfeld advised water contractors in the watershed of the state’s decision. “Keeping healthy, unimpaired flows is about protecting groundwater supplies,” said Barbara Barrigan-Parrilla, executive director of Restore the Delta. “It’s about protecting public trust resources, food supplies and wildlife networks. Everything is linked to the health of California rivers, including our drinking water supplies.” “The state team continues to believe that collaboration, adaptive management and voluntary agreements are the best way to ensure water resilience for California’s communities, economy and environment,” said Lisa Lien-Mager, CNRA see Plans page 22

Big red chair set to return to City Park Fixture back in time for holiday tree lighting
Charlotte, Steve and Bridgette Kinsella pose on the big red chair in Brentwood’s City Park in 2018. The chair was vandalized earlier this month, but is expected to be fixed up in time for the holiday parade.
by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer
BRENTWOOD As parade-goers observe Brentwood’s Miracle on 34th Streetthemed holiday parade this week, some may notice that the good fortune has also spread to City Park. City officials expect the big red chair to return to the park in time for the Christmas tree lighting, after it had been vandalized earlier this month. “It’s been vandalized often, and we’re ready to bring it back this week, all fixed

up again,” said Brentwood CIty Manager Tim Ogden. “We’re assessing an alternate location more visible from the street instead of the corner where folks hang out and contribute to the vandalism. Hopefully this will help, and the chair will continue to be an enjoyable asset to the community.”
Unknown suspects sprayed the fixture with graffiti on the week of Nov. 9, forcing park officials to remove it from the park, but it’s expected to be returned freshly sanded, painted and with its bolts tightened to a new location adjacent to the park’s water feature, said Brentwood Parks Manager Aaron Wanden.
The chair, constructed by Big Al’s Heavy Metal Furniture, has been situated to the left of the main entrance at the corner of the park since former mayor Bob Taylor arranged for the gigantic fixture days before the annual holiday celebration and Christmas tree lighting ceremony in 2017. At the time, Taylor envisioned the chair adding charm to Brentwood’s downtown, serving as a go-to prop for prom, wedding and other event photos. The vandalism is disappointing, but dealing with it has just become a part of the staff’s routine maintenance of City Park, said Wanden. The holiday parade is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. on Nov. 27 at Chestnut and First streets. The Christmas tree lighting in City Park will immediately follow the parade. City Park is located at 710 Second St. in Brentwood.
1 dead, 1 injured in separate motorcycle crashes in Byron BYRON A 60-year-old Crockett man died and an unidentified California Highway Patrol (CHP) officer was injured in separate motorcycle crashes in Byron late last week. The 60-year man, identified as David Robison, was traveling northbound on Bruns Road near Bethany Lane around 11:40 p.m. on Nov. 18, when he lost control of his Suzuki SV 650 motorcycle and went down in the roadway, the CHP said. Emergency crews pronounced Robison dead at the scene, the CHP said. No information was available con-
cerning whether the motorcyclist was speeding or not. The cause of the accident remains under investigation, the CHP said. The incident occurred roughly 12 hours after a California Highway Patrol motorcycle officer was seriously injured when he struck an object on the roadway on Vasco Road, south of Camino Diablo Road, in Byron at 11:15 a.m. The unidentified officer was airlifted to a local hospital with suspected serious injuries, the CHP said. No update on
the officer’s condition was available as of press time. It’s believed that he was traveling southbound on Vasco Road when the motorcycle hit an unidentified object on the roadway, which caused the officer to lose control and crash into the guardrail along the right shoulder, the CHP said. The CHP is investigating both incidents. Anyone with information on either event is encouraged to call the Contra Costa CHP at 925-646-4980. To comment, visit www.thepress.net

Community group serves those in need more than just canned food -- toys and presents for individuals who are not young are sought. “I see a need for cereal -- breakfast foods -- we don’t always get a lot of breakfast foods,” Pierce said. “Because of the restrictions of COVID, this year we are primarily focusing on the collection of toys or gifts. After 12 years old, we get very little gifts for the kids between 12 and 18.” While it is fun to go to Target and find a fun, adorable present meant for a 6-year-old, many teenagers need clothing, sports equipment, makeup, and other types of gifts that they would not be receiving otherwise, she said.

REGIONAL In the midst of the holiday season, concepts like charity, volunteerism, and community are important to remember. There are many families nationally and locally that do not have the money to put presents under the Christmas tree or a turkey on a table. In order to combat seasonal poverty problems, many organizations and clubs in Brentwood have banded together to make a difference. For over 50 years, Brentwood Regional Community Chest (BRCC) has delivered food to thousands of families in need of help. The community chest aids with food, toys, and other gifts that financially struggling families might not be able to afford otherwise. “We have a lot of organizations - service clubs, the Rotary club, the Lions Club, the Soroptimist club - that donate and help,” said Lill Pierce, secretary of the BRCC. “We have lots of Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts. We have lots of teachers encouraging their students and different groups in the schools that come and help us.” The large cooperative effort between local groups has had a significant impact on those in need. Dana Eaton, the Brentwood Union School District Superintendent, spoke about the BRCC as well, mentioning the large need for volunteerism and aid outside of the holiday season. “Another ongoing issue that we see is that we have many families that continue to experience hunger not just in the holiday season, but throughout the year,” he said as he talked about a broader need for giving in Contra Costa County. “So one of the things that we try to do is to help support other organizations that provide support all the way through the year. Because there are families that don’t just need a meal on Christmas, but they need one on January 15th too and so we’re trying to help those

HOW TO AVOID A CONSERVATORSHIP
by Joan Grimes, Esq.
Many people believe that the purpose of a Trust (sometimes referred to as a “Revocable Trust” or “Living Trust”) is to avoid probate. While this is correct, there is another very important reason to have a Trust. A Trust, if established properly, can also avoid a conservatorship in the event of incapacity. During a conservatorship, the court will generally appoint a “conservator of the person” and a “conservator of the estate”. The conservator of the person and the estate is sometimes the same individual, but can often be two separate people depending on the circumstances. The conservator of the person is tasked with making decisions regarding your health and well-being, whereas the conservator of the estate controls and manages your financial affairs. Not only is the process of appointing a conservator overwhelming for family and loved ones, but the financial cost of appointing a conservator can be extremely burdensome. If a Trust is properly established and funded, all of an individual’s assets (or the majority of assets) will be held in the Trust and the Trust documents will contain specific incapacity provisions. These provisions will provide instructions to your Trustee as to how your affairs should be handled in the event of incapacity. To avoid a conservatorship, a Trust should include the following provisions: First, who will determine capacity? Some people want their spouse or child, along with an attending physician, to determine capacity. Other individuals wish to establish a “disability panel”, whereby chosen individuals or physicians will determine capacity. Second, how will your financial affairs be
handled during incapacity? Do you have any dependents i.e. minor or disabled children that need to be provided for during incapacity? Third, if you are not able to care for yourself, what should be the standard of your care? Do you have specific requests of where you want to live? Do you want to remain in your home and have in-home support services? If you have specific ideas regarding your care, your Trust can, and should, include this information. Fourth, if a residential facility is necessary, do you know where you want to go? If that residential facility does not have any vacancies, have you thought about any alternatives? Without any of your guidance or input, these decisions are especially difficult on family and loved ones. In conclusion, if you have a Trust, you should review the incapacity provisions. If the Trust provisions are not what you want, you can amend the Trust to correctly reflect your wishes. To avoid a potential stranger from making decisions regarding your assets and care, you should consider establishing a Trust. While we may not be able to control our physical or mental health, we can control how our assets are used to care for us. If you would like me to review your Trust, we see people Monday – Friday for a FREE 30 minute consultation in Walnut Creek and Brentwood.

number of homes for sale in the first part of January and I expect we will see that again this year. There are many “hidden” potential home sellers out there. People who would like to move if they could find another home to move to. And there is always the risk that mortgage rates could increase. The Fed has started to drop hints that they are likely to start raising rates sometime over the next year or two (but they’ve been saying that for a while now!). So, if you are thinking of selling your home, I think there will still be buyers looking all through the Holidays. If the “right” home comes on the market, buyers will come look. Now, I still wouldn’t recommend putting your home on the market on December 23 if you can avoid it! If you have questions about real estate, call me at (925) 240-MOVE (6683).

In years past, I would tell people that unless they REALLY need to be moving in January, you normally don’t want to put your home on the market in the week around Thanksgiving, or the last two weeks of December. Normally, people are busy shopping, traveling to visit family and just thinking of everything but real estate. However, last year I told people to go ahead and stay on the market over the Holiday season because our market had “frozen up” from March until late summer due to COVID shut-downs, so the normal spring surge of home sales got delayed. This year, inventory is again SUPERlow as we approach the holidays, and it doesn’t seem like that is going to change anytime soon. Brentwood is hovering around it’s all-time lows. Discovery Bay and Oakley are also low, but not as low via historical standards as Brentwood. There are still buyers out there looking and mortgage rates are still VERY low. We normally see an uptick in the

Meals on Wheels Diablo region manager honored Brentwood native Raniere feted for work during COVID The local Meals on Wheels Diablo Region’s Nutrition Services Division Manager Nancy Raniere recently received the 2021 “Meeting the Moment” award at the 11th annual East Bay Philanthropy Awards. Raniere, a Brentwood native who has worked with the group for 14 years, joined a group of community leaders, philanthropists, employers, volunteers, and youth whose efforts helped overcome some of the region’s challenges. “Nancy’s hard work and commit-
ment ensured that no senior missed a meal delivery throughout the pandemic, as we saw a 40% increase in the number of clients needing meals,” said Meals on Wheels Diablo Region Executive Director Caitlin Sly. “All of us at (Meals on Wheels) Diablo Region want to congratulate her on this well-deserved recognition.” “Meals on Wheels Diablo Region has been a very important part of my life,” said Raniere. “There are so many seniors in our community who are suffering from food insecurity and isolation. I am proud to work with an organization whose mission is to empower these seniors so they can live out their remaining years safely with dignity. This award reflects the effort of all of our team members in helping to end senior hunger in the community. I am deeply honored and humbled.”
June 20, 1952 - October 27, 2021 William Gregory Cox (known as “Greg” or “Bill” to friends and family) was born on June 20, 1952, to William Beverly Cox and Mary Lou Cox in Pittsburg, CA. He was the eldest of three brothers and one of many cousins in a large Portuguese-Irish family. Greg attended Holy Rosary School and De La Salle High School, and resided in Contra Costa County in the San Francisco Bay Area for most of his life. After graduating from high school, he completed training to become a union electrician. He was a proud member of IBEW Local 302 for 35 years. He was an even prouder husband and dad, married to Laura Ann Cox (née Serna) for 37 years, and doting father to Courtney, Hayley and Kelsey. Greg was a big personality with an even bigger heart. He spent much of his life bringing smiles to others’ faces, and was an enduringly positive and loving presence in the lives of his family and friends. Despite the significant health challenges he faced in his later years, Greg truly lived life to its fullest. Greg loved to drive in his pick-up truck, often too fast for those riding with him. He loved sports and was an avid San Francisco 49ers and Golden State Warriors fan. He was sharp and intellectually curious, and enjoyed studying science, geography, math and history. He loved to travel, particularly to islands, visiting and living in places like New Zealand, Hawaii, Barbados, and Puerto Rico over the course of his life. If you asked anyone who
knew him well, they would have at least one story to share about an unforgettable time with Greg. His adventurous, kind and incredibly generous spirit will live on in the hearts of those who loved him. He will be dearly missed and never forgotten. Greg is preceded in death by his father, William Beverly Cox. He is survived by his wife, Laura Ann Cox; three daughters, Courtney, Hayley and Kelsey; mother, Mary Lou Cox; two brothers, Brad (Autumn) Cox and Bart (Holly) Cox; along with a large community of relatives and friends. A memorial service will take place on December 1, 2021, beginning at 1:30 p.m. at Holy Cross Cemetery & Funeral Center in Antioch, CA. A celebration of life will be held immediately following at Hannah Nicole Vineyards & Winery in Brentwood, CA.

Younger Patriots hope to stay atop BVAL by Michael Dixon Correspondent
The last time Heritage’s girls basketball team failed to win the Bay Valley Athletic League was the 2014-15 season -when the current seniors were in fifth grade. The Patriots won the BVAL title with a 9-1 league record the following year and have posted a perfect 10-0 BVAL record in each of the five subsequent seasons. If that’s going to happen again, Heritage will have to depend more on younger, newer players than it has had to do in recent years. “It’s probably as young -- or green -- as Heritage has been in a while,” coach Jeff Jonas said. “There are a lot of new faces out there that have never played varsity ball before.” A key relative newcomer to the Patriots’ rotation is sophomore Kendall McClure. She’s not entirely new to varsity but played only sparingly on the varsity team during her freshman year. McClure will be a part of a largely inexperienced backcourt, which Heritage hasn’t had in a while. In the past, when the Patriots had experienced guards, Jonas said that he and his fellow coaches would secretly hope that teams would run a full-court press on them, knowing that the experienced players could break it. This year, Jonas expects the young backcourt to have a baptism by fire, with the more experienced teams challenging them with a full-court press. “With younger guards, we have to get better in a hurry -- because we’re going to see that kind of pressure all of the time, Jonas said. “On a scale of 1 to 10, I think
Heritage center Amanda Muse, seen here earlier this year, will be one of the team’s top players this season. Heritage is seeks its seventh straight league title
Press File Photo
we’re looking at a 6 or 7 right now. I think the kids we have are going to be good players. But that takes a lot of time. You can’t make it go faster than it’s going to go.” Another person in a new role will be
Jonas himself, who’s still officially an interim coach. He had worked as assistant with his friend Rob Ocon, Heritage’s previous head coach. But days prior to the season beginning, Ocon realized that he
couldn’t give the Patriots as much of a time commitment as he felt they deserved and stepped down. The players know Jonas from his time working with them as an assistant. He also has head coaching experience in the BVAL with Freedom. While there are some younger players on the team, the Patriots don’t lack for varsity experience. Junior center Amanda Muse will be the team’s centerpiece. She averaged 16.4 points, 10.4 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game as a sophomore, leading the team in all three categories. Seniors Zeni Purge, Julia Wright and Gabby Martini were all contributors to last season’s team and all add experience in the backcourt and on the wings. Heritage will open its season on Thursday, Dec. 2, at the Miramonte Tournament with a game against James Logan. The first home game will come in the West Coast Jamboree, which will run from Tuesday, Dec. 28 through Thursday, Dec. 30. The Patriots will open the league season at Pittsburg on Tuesday, Jan. 11. Jonas noted that the team has adjusted well to the coaching change. One of the things he said that they’ve struggled some with is the change to the practice schedule. Last season, practices were somewhat sporadic due to COVID-19 restrictions and when they happened, usually went for 90 minutes. This season, with the restrictions looser, practices are two hours every day. “They haven’t been in that situation in -- for our sophomores -- in their lifetime,” Jonas said. “But they’re adapting well. They’re a positive group. They like being out there. We like coaching them.”
3 BVAL runners qualify for state meet by Michael Dixon Correspondent
When the North Coast Section Cross Country Championships wrapped up on Saturday, Nov. 20, it marked an end of the season for all of the Bay Valley Athletic League teams and most of the runners. For three individuals, though, one more race remains. For the first time ever, Heritage will send two runners to state. Senior Dominic Depiero ran his race in 15:45.7 while fellow senior James Woolery finished at 15:54.3 for the 5K (3.1-mile) distance. Those times were the first and third best finishers among runners on non-qualifying teams -- which was good enough to earn a spot at the California Interscholastic Federation State Championship Meet. Joining them in Fresno will be Liberty junior Rylee Guinn. She ran her race in 18:59, which was the fourth best time among runners from non-qualified teams. “I think I ran pretty well,” Guinn said. “It was a really tough course and a super hard race. But I had a goal and I accomplished it -- my goal was to make it to state.” On the boys side, the BVAL schools finished as they did in the regular season. Heritage was the highest-plac-
ing BVAL team, coming in seventh overall with a time of 1:23.53. The counted times after Depiero and Woolery were sophomore Michael Simpson (17:11.2), junior Jordan Maldonado (17:27.2) and junior Caden Coleman (17:34). After the Patriots were Liberty (12th place, 1:27:43), Freedom (17th place, 1:33.59), Deer Valley (19th place, 1:37.39) and Antioch (20th place, 1:39:28). “We all raced with a sense of completion,” said Liberty senior Dylan Leypon, who ran his final high school race in 17:09.6. “We all really wanted to run our best race, which is what we strive for. This race was less about our best time but finishing together. But after losing our teammate, who should have been one of our better runners, we want- ed to do it for the experience.” Things were similar on the girls’ side. League champion Liberty finished NCS with a time of 1:38.32, which was the best BVAL finish and the sixth-best overall. Guinn paced the Lions, with sophomore Sarah Redman (19:15), freshman Kelsey Peltz (19:20.4), junior Karyss Mendes
(20:12.1) and senior Kiran McWilliams (20:44.4) posting the counted scores behind her. “The girls ran great,” Guinn said. “It’s a bummer we didn’t make it as a team. We were two spots off. But we do have really good underclassmen and freshmen. I think the goal next year will be to make it as a girls team.” After the Lions were Heritage (11th place, 1:48.04), Freedom (13th place, 1:51.28) and Deer Valley (17th place, 2:03.13). Awaiting Depiero, Woolery and Guinn is an even tougher course and a stronger field at the CIF State Championship meet at Woodward Park in Fresno on Saturday, Nov. 27. “My goal for states is to leave it all out there on the course,” Guinn said. “It’s a tough course and really hard competitors. I don’t really have a set time or place. I just want to compete well. “ “I think she can put up some real numbers at state,” Leypon said of Guinn. “Ever since middle school, she’s always been fast. She was faster than most of the boys in middle school. Even in high school, she beat some of us. She’s always been our dangerous weapon.”

ANTIOCH The Antioch Chamber of Commerce helped two local businesses that were recently vandalized or had other hardships. The Chamber Cares program, which recently debuted, enables the Chamber CEO Sean Wright to visit Antioch businesses that have recently been vandalized or had other hardships arise and help with a check for $500 to defray the costs of clean-up, fix up and repair. Over the last few weeks, the Chamber has reached out to help locally owned and operated businesses Cocina Medina and Grocery Outlet. Cocina Medina owners Rafael and Ali have led the business for more than 20 years and, after having survived the shutdowns and new vaccine mandates stemming from COVID-19, are having new struggles. First, a freezer went out and then the water heater had problems that required them to

Chamber cares helps two businesses
tear up the floor and fix pipes, which required them to shut down for a week. The Chamber saw the posts on Facebook and took the opportunity to stop and let them know that the Chamber cares, the organization said in a news release. Grocery Outlet of Antioch, in late October, was the target of an armed robbery that cleared the till of a few registers and caused the store to close earlier than normal for a few evenings in a row to help keep the employees feeling safe. Pat Choa, who owns and operates the store with Maritza Choa, was busy as a cashier when the Chamber stopped by to let him know that the Antioch Chamber cares. He was appreciative, Chamber officials said. “The Antioch Chamber knows that $500 is not going to enough to determine whether a store will be able to stay open or close but the love and compassion that goes along with it means the world to these businesses,” the Chamber said in a news release. “Sometimes you know and feel that a program is hitting the mark, and this one does.”
Our goal is for everyone to achieve a happy, healthy smile SIL

Your key to finding the right local real estate professional.
I like to think I’m a new kind of real estate professional. I combine the personal service of a traditional, neighborhood agent with the latest, web-based and mobile technologies to create an efficient, secure and convenient transaction. I am an East Bay native and a second-generation realtor. I studied economics at Westmont College, in Santa Barbara, and I did my graduate work at the University of Colorado at Denver. I also have a certificate in computer programming from Denver Technical College. I specialize in marketing and selling single-family homes and other residential units for primary owneroccupants and investors throughout East
Contra Costa County. Brentwood is my home, but my friends and clients take me to Antioch, Oakley and Discovery Bay almost daily. I don’t just work in these neighborhoods, I live my life in them. My dad taught me real estate
is about cooperation, about serving others and, mostly, about hard work. My experience has also taught me it is as rewarding as anything else I could do; my clients always become my friends, even if we don’t start out that way.

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE T.S. No.: 2012-03182 A.P.N.:035-404-002 Property Address: 841 ALMOND DRIVE, OAKLEY, CA 94561 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE. PURSUANT TO CIVIL CODE § 2923.3(a) and (d), THE SUMMARY OF INFORMATION REFERRED TO BELOW IS NOT ATTACHED TO THE RECORDED COPY OF THIS DOCUMENT BUT ONLY TO THE COPIES PROVIDED TO THE TRUSTOR. NOTE: THERE IS A SUMMARY OF THE INFORMATION IN THIS DOCUMENT ATTACHED 注：本文件包含一个信
sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, under the terms of said Deed of Trust, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $ 455,364.29. Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/ MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/ TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2012-03182. 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. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE NOTICE
TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction, if conducted after January 1, 2021, pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855)-976-3916, or visit this internet website https://tracker. auction.com/sb1079, using the file number assigned to this case 2012-03182 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. Date: October 27, 2021 Western Progressive, LLC, as Trustee for beneficiary C/o 1500 Palma Drive, Suite 238 Ventura, CA 93003 Sale Information Line: (866) 960-8299 http://www.altisource.com/ MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/ TrusteeServices.aspx Trustee Sale Assistant WESTERN PROGRESSIVE, LLC MAY BE ACTING AS A DEBT COLLECTOR ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT.

Advice from a 17-year-old – wear a mask! board for its National Health System, the back end was built on Microsoft Azure cloud, the front end was powered by Palantir software and actual data was collected by Google. India will similarly need a concerted effort by tech specialists to develop its own dashboard. Aggregating real-time data for a country of India’s scale will require the government’s commitment to the project. Government involvement and ownership of data will also be crucial to allay potential privacy concerns. It is time for India, the home to about 1.4 billion people, to step up and fight this virus with the proper cooperation of its citizens and government officials. Any Indian citizen reading this, or a matter of fact, anyone reading this, take this basic advice from a 17-yearold: Wear a mask...properly! – Tavishi Srivastava Heritage High School

the chaos that COVID has brought upon the Indian people and their lives. Vaccines and quick COVID tests, free of charge, should be available at any pharmacy and hospital. For once, the Indian government needs to change their desire for money into the desire for the betterment and survival of its people. To have a realistic chance at limiting the devastation of the epidemic will require organization of data, implementation of a single dashboard and coordination of resources. Wide-ranging data from case volume, symptoms and non-identifying demographic information to therapies and treatments, test results and calls and Internet seeking medical help will all have to be gathered and cleaned up for presentation in a dashboard. To stay on top of the COVID wave will require information enabling better decisions about regions most at risk from the virus and coordination of staff and resources. When the UK implemented a dash-

Growing up in San Francisco, I had seen the homeless and the helplessness that comes with being disadvantaged. But the helplessness I witnessed as my family members in India literally gasped for air earlier this year shook outh me to the core. riter What shocked me most was the realization that some in my family were well heeled enough to afford an air ambulance and yet they couldn’t get the necessary care in time to survive. I don’t think I can ever forget the images of people breathing from oxygen cylinders in the parking lots of hospitals in India. Those pictures were all over the news. The thing that caught my eye was how scant attention the media paid to mismanagement of healthcare resources. When the national capital, New Delhi, became a hot spot, my family members were frantically calling hospitals nearby but phone lines were jammed. There were several websites proclaiming to have real-time information on available beds and ventilators in
hospitals but rarely did. A family friend confirmed that his hospital in Chennai, a major city in the Southern part of India, had beds and ventilators but it was too late by the time we got this information. I still go over that day in my head and question why it had to be so. Why did the Indian government not help its citizens? Why were they content with people dying and begging for a gasp of air while they just stood there, looking over the madness? Why can Prime Minister Modi deliver an 88-minute Independence Day speech but not a 5-minute speech on the importance of mask wearing? The harsh truth is that, India may have celebrated its 75th Independence Day in August, but the nation is still under the control of something that they cannot defeat at war, COVID-19. As case loads increase in countries that have much better rates of vaccination, I feel anxious. Time is now for India to implement a centralized information system to manage allocation of hospital beds, protective equipment, doctors and nurses so that people in the hotspots aren’t left again to gasp for breath. The Indian people need instant access to vaccinations just like any citizen in the United States. The government needs to stop putting a price on something that could save lives and control

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. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. All checks payable to Prestige Default Services, LLC. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 793-6107 or visit this Internet Web site www.auction.com, using the file number assigned to this case 20-3696. 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 infor-
mation or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (800) 793-6107, or visit this internet website www.auction.com, using the file number assigned to this case 20-3696 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Tri Delta Transit CEO receives honor Krieg named small operators transit professional of the year
Tri Delta Transit’s CEO, Jeanne Krieg, recently won the California Transit Association’s Small Operators Committee Transit Professional of the Year 2021 award. The California Transit Association’s (CTA) gives this award to an individual who has provided strong leadership and vision to a California Transit Association Small Operator agency or made a notable contribution that benefits public transit in general. Krieg has done both of those, according to the organization. She has served as CEO of the agency for 26 of its 44-year history and has met every challenge the agency has faced, while continuing to grow the organization through innovation that focuses on meeting the transportation needs of eastern Contra Costa County, according to a news release. Under her leadership, Tri Delta Transit is often first adaptors for programs such as “green business” certifications, real-time route applications, mobile tick-

deputy secretary for communications, in an email to The Press. “Despite considerable efforts over the past two years, proposed actions put forward by water agencies on the San Joaquin River tributaries have fallen short of the flow and habitat improvements needed for a viable voluntary agreement there. Accordingly, the state team will focus on advancing agreements with the Sacramento River basin water users as well as state and federal water project contractors.” With no agreement forthcoming from the agreement process, the state will instead defer to the Bay-Delta Water Quality Plan (Bay-Delta Plan) to implement waterflow standards necessary to meet the myriad demands on San Joaquin River water. “We will ask the State Water Board to resume steps toward implementing the flow objectives outlined in the Bay-Delta Plan update adopted in 2018 for the Lower San Joaquin River and tributaries,” Lien-Mager said. In a letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom, a coalition of tribal, fishing, conservation and environmental justice groups – including Restore the Delta, Sierra Club California and the Golden State Salmon Association – thanked the governor for abandoning the voluntary agreement process for the San Joaquin River, but expressed concern that the process remains in place in the Sacramento River watershed. “We see this as the first step to an improvement in flow and water quality conditions for the San Joaquin River side of the San Francisco Bay-Delta estuary,” read the letter in part. “We welcome this improvement for our

waterways for the environmental justice communities that our organizations represent and protect – and for our allies who stand with us. We do, however, have ongoing concerns about the voluntary agreement process for the Sacramento River watershed and potential impacts on the Delta estuary.” Federal and state laws require that minimum water flows necessary for the health of rivers and dependent ecosystems be scientifically determined and regularly updated. In 2008, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) started a process to update water-flow requirements for the San Joaquin River as specified in the BayDelta Plan. The effort took 10 years. In December 2018, Phase 1 of the Bay-Delta Plan update was nearing completion. In addition to nearing completion of Phase 1, the SWRCB committed to updating the Sacramento River flows, which accounts for the overwhelming majority of the water that flows through the Delta. To date, updates to the Sacramento River flows have not been completed. Prior to implementation of the newly developed Phase 1 requirements, then-Gov. Jerry Brown, who was serving in the final weeks of his term, requested 90 days to allow water contractors and appropriate regulatory agencies to develop water-flow requirements outside the Bay-Delta Plan process. Negotiations over San Joaquin water flows instead lasted for nearly two years until they were called off last month, having not delivered an acceptable alternative to the Bay-Delta Plan. In August of this year, an environmental water coalition including the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Winnemem Wintu Tribe and Clean Water Action

Her many contributions to the transit industry over her 30-year career have benefitted many other agencies and the industry as a whole, according to the news release. Tri Delta Transit provides over 2.5 million trips each year to a population of more than 315,000 residents in the 225 square miles of eastern Contra Costa County. They currently operate 15 local bus routes Monday – Friday, four local bus routes on weekends, on-demand ride share service Tri MyRide, and door-todoor bus service for senior citizens and people with disabilities.

Santa will be riding in the parade on a carriage provided by the Fancy Ferriage by Horse & Carriage company. “What our company is all about is making memories and putting smiles on people’s faces,” said owner Dave Travers about Santa riding in one of his carriages. “It is always a joy at this time of year when we are given the chance to bring Santa to his chosen location so that the children will have a chance to meet and talk with him.”
sent a letter to 120 state legislators decrying the agreement process. ‘These endless negotiations are a big reason why the State Water Board is not allowed to complete the update of the Bay-Delta Plan and implementation of the updated standards to protect water quality for fish and wildlife, farms, and communities,” read the letter. “This status quo of inadequate flows, which is perpetuated by this endless voluntary agreements process, benefits no one other than the water districts who continue to divert water under the outdated water quality rules.” The Phase 1 Bay-Delta Plan update calls for a 40% unimpaired flow through the San Joaquin River and allows 60% of the water to be diverted for residential, agricultural and industrial uses. By way of comparison, Barrigan-Parrilla said that the current unimpaired flow in that river system is 5%-15%. However, according to the August letter sent to state legislators, the 40% unimpaired flow was still “significantly less water flowing in these rivers than state and federal agencies, independent scientists, and fishing groups and conservation organizations recommended.” Last week, the SWRCB said it will present a summary of the next steps on efforts to update and implement the Bay-Delta Plan during its Dec. 8 board meeting. Prior to implementation of the Phase 1 flow requirements for the San Joaquin River, a number of steps still need to be completed including a California Environmental Quality Act report and water quality certification. That effort could take up to two years. To comment, visit www.thepress.net

Letter writer’s response was misguided
Editor: A Mr. Jack Hanna wrote a “response” article to my third article for the Press. I would like to make two statements regarding that “response”. He states that I claim to “represent our interests as a Delta Spokesperson”. I have never uttered those words. I represent myself with my words. I volunteer time in some places where they value my perspective and opinions. Mr. Hanna truly makes no response to ideas in my article. He simply states,
again, his opinions on why the tunnel should not be built. If he takes issue with my articles, he should point out how the ideas are not good and indicate why. Simply saying again that the tunnels should not be built, which I agree with, is really not responding to the content of my articles. For the record, again, I believe the tunnels are a bad idea. I volunteer my time to try and explain why I think they are a bad idea and also to work with those that are designing and working on the tunnels to help them screw up as little as possible and also deliver the most possible benefit from their work to the Delta and its communities.
