State face mask mandate renewed

Bristow begins building new theater

Support for the troops

by Tony Kukulich

Correspondent

STATE Wearing face masks in indoor public settings is once again required as of this week as health officials hope to limit a sudden spike in COVID-19 infections across the state. Guidance issued by the California Department of Public Health stated, “To ensure that we collectively protect the health and well-being of all Californians; keep schools open for in-person instruction and allow California’s economy to remain open and thrive, the California Department of Public Health is requiring masks to be worn in all indoor public settings, irrespective of vaccine status, for the next four weeks.”

The SEC started with 16 members and two ex officio appointments representing a broad range of Delta interests. Members served in a purely advisory role and had no official standing with either the DCA or the Department of Water Resources (DWR) – the state agency that will own and operate the tunnel if it is approved and constructed. In a January 2020 memo to SEC members, Carrie Buckman, DWR environmental program manager, clarified how feedback from the SEC would influence the project’s design. “DWR has requested the DCA design the proposed project

BRENTWOOD Bristow Middle School has broken ground on a new theater on land shared by the Brentwood Union School District (BUSD) and the City of Brentwood. Once completed, the theater, expected to be directly behind the school’s gym on the northwest part of campus, will be approximately 17,000 square feet with 300 adjustable seats. This theater will bring Bristow up to par with the district’s other two middle schools. “We had a theater completed at Edna Hill Middle School that holds about 300 audience members and a stage and classrooms,” said BUSD Superintendent Dr. Dana Eaton. “It’s just beautiful. And we had a theater at Adams Middle School, but it wasn’t completed with seats. We just put in these beautiful telescoping seats. Bristow didn’t have anything, they just performed out of a classroom.” Construction on Bristow’s new theater is scheduled to be completed by the end of next summer so the theater can be used for the 2022-23 school year. Funding comes from Measure B, passed by Brentwood residents in 2016, that promised voters it would give every middle school a performing arts theater. With the completion of Bristow’s theater, that promise will

REGIONAL The work of a stakeholder committee created to provide input on the design of the Delta Conveyance Project (DCP) tunnel came to an end as its last official meeting was conducted earlier this month. The Delta Conveyance Design and Construction Authority (DCA), the agency responsible for the design, construction and financing of the single-tunnel project, approved the creation of the Stakeholder Engagement Committee (SEC) in October 2019. The SEC’s role was to offer feedback on the tunnel’s design and identify

Carey brothers to turn off the mic after 35 years On the House radio show is syndicated nationally by Jake Menez Staff Writer

BRENTWOOD James and Morris Carey of Brentwood waxed nostalgic on Dec. 14 as they sat down to record the penultimate episode of their long-running radio show On The House with the Carey Brothers. “I had more fun meeting people from all over the United States,” Morris Carey, 75, said in a press release. “More than anything I could have imagined. It has been a wonderful, unexpected and extremely fulfilling experience.” Morris said they are ending the show because they want to spend more time on their home remodeling business. The first broadcast of On the House aired on Jan. 2, 1987, kicking off a weekly radio series that would air for the next 35 years as the brothers gave home improvement advice to call-in listeners and interviewing guests in the studio. The program was nationally syndicated in 1992, airing on more than 300 radio affiliates at the height of its popularity, according to the press release. Recording one of the last episodes of the show, the brothers reminisced on air about their long broadcast history, chatting with

Morris Carey said they are ending their long-running radio show On The House with the Carey Brothers because they want to spend more time on their home remodeling business. industry friends such as former radio station executives and playing clips from old holiday specials featuring guests like Dom DeLuise and Carl Reiner. More than once, James raised his cellphone to take pictures with his guests and production crew. “We are so pleased and proud to have been welcomed into the homes of millions of listeners, viewers and readers,” said James, 63. In addition to their weekly broadcast, the brothers have also appeared on morning programs on CBS and ABC over the course of their broadcast history and have written three

books in the “For Dummies” series about remodeling and home maintenance. “I truly am going to miss what we do, because I have a lot of fun doing it,” Morris said during a break in recording. “I think I’m going to enjoy a little bit more free time to spend with my wife and family.” While the Carey brothers will no longer be producing new radio shows, their content will continue to be available as they pass ownership of their website, digital content and social media channels to Today’s Homeowner Media, run by Danny Lipford, on Jan. 1. Lip-

ford is the host of his own weekly radio show, Today’s Homeowner with Danny Lipford, as well as a podcast and long-running television series. “We are confident that Danny will take good care of the folks that have come to depend on us to help them care for their piece of the Great American Dream,” the brothers wrote in a statement on their website. “We can’t think of anyone to whom we would rather pass on the torch.” The equipment used by the Careys to record their weekly series will be donated to the Pittsburg Historical Museum for use by local high school and college students who are interested in careers in broadcasting. As for the brothers, they said they will remain busy operating Carey Brothers Remodeling, their home improvement business in Brentwood. The free time created by the end of the radio show will allow the brothers to dedicate even more of themselves to Carey Brothers Remodeling, said James. “We’ll have a little more time to spend with that and a little bit more time for family,” Morris added. “I think that’s really the most important part.” The final episode of the On The House with the Carey Brothers radio program will air on Dec. 25 at 6 a.m. PST. A list of radio stations that broadcast the show, including KGO Radio (810 AM in San Francisco), can be found at www.onthehouse.com. To view a video, visit www.thepress.net/ multimedia

Boxing up holiday love for the military

Kaitlyn Gleeson Staff Writer

any members of the military will be spending their Christmas away from home, family and friends serving their country. In an effort to reduce their loneliness in Christmastime, volunteers filled boxes with care packages for troops at the Veterans Memorial Hall in downtown Brentwood at an event hosted by the Veterans of Foreign Wars. “I’m pretty excited,” said event organizer Ed McClelland. “We haven’t been able to pack

much in the last two years, just me shipping off boxes. So, we’ll probably do over 300 tonight. It’s just a great group, and they are motivated.” They were motivated to send their respect for military service members stationed in the U.S. and elsewhere. “We couldn’t do this without community people,” McClelland said of the dozens of people who showed up to help. “Brentwood really serves. We are a very small nonprofit with a nationwide impact. So this gives us such a boost at the end of the year to get all these care packages out. We will be mailing for days and we gotta mail them fast

We’re Moving!

because Christmas is not far away. We are going to try to get them delivered in time for Christmas.” Army chaplains across the county will aid with the distribution as the care packages from the people of Brentwood are shipped out to various military members nationwide. Messages of thanks and prayer were signed onto a large board at the hall, enabling local residents to express their appreciation for those who are unable to be home for Christmas this holiday season.

The agreement stipulates that the coalition and its hired executive director will provide a wide variety of services to promote and support the downtown and the greater downtown business community in exchange for city financial support, Ewen said. The coalition is being encouraged to focus on fundraising, events and growing its membership to cover its ongoing costs after June 30, 2024, Ewen said. Bloomfield said she’s excited for the organization’s future. “She’s (Tilley) is a dynamo,” Bloomfield said. “She’s welleducated and familiar with the (downtown) area. We couldn’t have asked for a better person.” For Tilley, the job is a natural fit, she said.

tion is an all-volunteer group of downtown property and business owners who strive to enhance economic growth of the downtown area by focusing on education, promotion and development of local businesses. Prior to waiving all membership fees during the pandemic and including all businesses in its base, the organization included about 50 businesses, said Becky Bloomfield, chair of the Downtown Brentwood Coalition. The City of Brentwood has agreed to contribute up to $190,000 total over the next three fiscal years to fund the position, believing that it will become selfsustaining, said Joshua Ewen, a City of Brentwood senior analyst.

BRENTWOOD New Downtown Brentwood Coalition Executive Director Amy Tilley says the downtown’s natural charm pulled her in to stay about six years ago when she and her family visited in search of a forever home. So it’s only fitting that when a job arose with a duty to maintain that charm, she jumped at the opportunity. “I love this city, I love downtown, I spend a ton of time here,” said Tilley, of Brentwood. “I bring my kids here for everything, try to attend every event that I can. It’s such a fun and special place. I just love it — why wouldn’t I want to support the businesses that are down here?” Tilley, an accredited small-business consultant, was hired Dec. 1 as the organization’s first full-time director after the group had been run by volunteer business and property owners. She’ll have a number of duties, including: • supporting the organization’s current member businesses • serving as a liaison between current and future downtown businesses and the city • coordinating the organization’s various yearly community events • expanding the organization’s boundaries • increasing its membership base • creating synergy among the downtown businesses, the city and the coalition. The Downtown Brentwood Coali-

The married mother of two young girls has lived in Brentwood for about six years, previously serving as an independent small-business consultant who helped her clients reduce costs while refining their processes, procedures, strategies, marketing and training programs, she said. Coming out of last year’s shelter-inplace restrictions because of the COVID-19 pandemic, she said she was anticipating that her business would soar, and then a number of her Facebook friends tagged her in a job posting for the coalition’s opening. “Everyone was like, ‘Amy, you need to apply for this,’” she said. “I was like, ‘That is really nice,’ and then I read it and was like, ‘Oh, that is perfect! I can help a lot of small businesses at one time.’” Tilley said she anticipates making the organization’s already successful fundraising even better, sponsorship and community event organization practices while reducing the workload on coalition’s volunteers, expanding its membership boundaries, strengthening the organization’s relationships with the city and enhancing awareness of the coalition and its offerings. The DBC launched amid the 2008 recession with the intent of ensuring that the area maintains a family-fun atmosphere and welcoming attitude, according to the organization.

CO-SIGNING PITFALLS

There is an old saying that if you lend money to a friend or family member, you will likely lose the money or the relationship, or likely both! Co-signing is very much the same. It may seem like you are doing a “good thing” for someone by co-signing a loan for them, but be sure you go into it knowing all the facts. Keep in mind that lenders are not being mean or capricious when they won’t approve someone for a loan. They have made the decision that that borrower isn’t a good risk for them to lend money to for some reason, and that is what they do for a living. That should give you pause before YOU co-sign for them. Now, maybe you know something the lender doesn’t about the borrower’s situation. Maybe they just got out of college and have a high-paying job all lined up, but they don’t check the right boxes for the lender yet. When you co-sign on a loan, that loan will show up on your credit report. This means if they miss a payment, it will show

up on YOUR credit report as a missed payment, thereby bringing your credit score down. The worst part about this situation is that you may not even be aware that they have missed payments until it’s already happened, so your credit will have already been damaged. You may want to ask the borrower for proof that they are making the payments, but that means you’d have to check EVERY month, which is a hassle. Even if they make all the payments on time, it will still be an obligation that you MAY have to pay if the borrower doesn’t. This means a lender will include that payment in your debt ratio when YOU go to apply for a loan. This may make it harder for you to qualify depending on your debt levels and income.

which would open doors to a host of resources, including grants, incentives and operational assistance, Ewen said. The Main Street America organization, made up of national small towns, mid-sized communities and urban commercial districts, is billed as the leading voice for preservation-based economic development and community revitalization across the country. Other accredited Northern California agencies exist in Livermore, Pleasanton, Martinez, Benicia and Hollister. Accredited agencies must meet 10 standards of performance that involve their operating budget; mission and vision statements; commercial district revitalization practices; training for its staff and volunteers; and having a paid, professional executive director. Only about 800 nationwide communities meet the standards, Ewen said. “Main Street America is the pinnacle of district identification, economic development and historic preservation for downtowns and other historic areas nationwide,” Ewen said. Tilley said she’s excited to dig into the job. “Nothing is off limits,” she said. “We can work with anyone. If it is going to benefit the downtown, then that is what we need to do.” For more information on the coalition, visit https://www.brentwooddowntown.com/. To view a video, visit www.thepress.net/ multimedia

At the time, the area’s occupancy rate was around 50% and the organization’s Oktoberfest celebration — just one of at least seven yearly events the coalition now sponsors — consisted of two kegs of beer. Today the downtown area’s building occupancy rate is generally above 90%; and in 2019 the Oktoberfest celebration sold 72 kegs of beer, according to city and organization officials. “The reason I am doing this job is not for lack of anyone within this coalition wanting to do it,” Tilley said. “They need to keep their own businesses afloat.” Regarding business support, Tilley said she plans to revamp the organization’s membership offerings to ensure that the coalition serves as a business marketing, promotions, support and networking resource. She envisions helping businesses bring in more shoppers and overcome the challenge of attracting business during off-peak times, along with other issues that routinely bog down businesses. “I really respect the small-business owners and what they are going through,” Tilley said. “A lot of times they just need a little bit of support, a little bit of help. They have a special skill and a passion — that’s why they started their business. Sometimes you get in the weeds with that, and it’s hard to deal with what is going on over here.” Tilley’s hiring is also a key requirement for the downtown to become an accredited national Main Street America community,

Community donations sought for families displaced by Brentwood apartment fire BRENTWOOD The city of Brentwood is asking for donations for the families displaced by the fire at the low-income apartment complex on Broderick Drive in early December. Although nobody was injured, 11 households including multiple families were displaced, and many lost all but the shirts on their backs, the city said in a release. “The ongoing need to get them back on their feet is great,” the city said in a news release. The American Red Cross Northern California Coastal Region was on scene and assisted with immediate financial assistance, blankets, and toiletries, and other non-profits have stepped up with donations for food and clothing in the short term. But local residents can help the families--- many that have children--to get reestablished in homes and back to some sense of normalcy, the release said. Interested businesses, non-profits and individuals can donate online through Monument Crisis Center where all funds donated will go into a restricted fund designated specifically for these tenants. Visit their donation website at: https://monumentcrisiscenter.org/donate-now, and scroll down to a drop down menu from

The city of Brentwood seeks donations for families dispaced by the apartment fire on Broderick Drive this month. “I would like to donate to” selecting the Brentwood Fire Victims option. Donors can also text MCC to 41444 and it will route to the same page to make a donation. To donate by check, make the check payable to Monument Crisis Center: Brentwood Fire Victims.

Checks can be mailed to P.O. Box 23973, Pleasant Hill, CA 94523. “No donations of goods can be accepted at Monument Crisis Center – please donate online or via check only,” the city said. The American Red Cross suggests that the donations of food, clothing and

other household items at this phase of a fire recovery may not be as helpful due to the collection, storage, and distribution problems of those items. If gift cards are donated, they can be dropped off to Miguel Saldana at Azucar Candies & More at 7860 Brentwood Blvd. To comment, visit www.thepress.net

Group’s event helps keep kids warm Bethel Island Children’s Support organization donates presents, coats to 230 children REGIONAL Some 230 children and their families took home warm coats and Christmas presents donated by the Bethel Island Children’s Support organization during a giveaway event on Dec. 12. This annual event brought the community together for an afternoon of arts and crafts, visits with Santa, balloon twisting and doughnuts, cookies, churros, cupcakes and pizza. Each child also left the event with a framed picture of their family with Santa, smiling and enjoying the season. Kathy Stein, a founding board member of the organization in 2005 and current vice president, stressed that it takes the whole community to make the event successful. “We get participation from individuals, businesses, the sheriff’s department, the schools, everyone,” she said. “Many people choose to remain anonymous, and yet they donate so much time and money we can’t thank them enough for their generosity. It’s nice to see everyone come together to make sure that every child is going to be smiling on Christmas morning and warm every day on their way to school during the winter months.” The organization also worked with the local school district to provide new backpacks to children on Bethel Island during the summer, and eligible juniors and se-

We’re grateful for the participation of our new families at Delta Coves, and neighbors

in surrounding towns of Oakley, Brentwood, and Discovery Bay. We actually receive donations from family and friends across the country.

Local community colleges recognized for transfer rates REGIONAL Pittsburg’s Los Medanos College, which has a satellite campus in Brentwood, and Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill, recently received the 2021 Equity Champion of Higher Education Award. It is an honor given by the Campaign for College Opportunity to recognize California community colleges and California State University (CSU) campuses for their success in conferring the Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) to Black and Latinx students at higher rates than other colleges. ADTs were established in 2010 with the passage of Senate Bill 1440 to create a clearer pathway for students who wish to transfer and earn a bachelor’s degree. Since the program’s inception, California community colleges have awarded more than 300,000 ADTs, establishing this pathway as a popular transfer option for students. By successfully completing 60 units of transferable community college coursework, students will be awarded an associate degree and receive guaranteed admission with junior standing at a CSU campus. “We are honored to receive the recognition that DVC led all California community colleges in increasing the num-

Los Medanos College has been honored for the graduation success rate of its Black and Latino students on to four-year colleges. ber of Black and Latinx students earning an ADT,” says DVC President Susan Lamb. “We appreciate the ongoing recognition from the campaign, and want to thank every member of our college community for their contribution to this tremendous achievement and equity work.” According to campaign rankings, during the 201920 academic year, LMC was recognized for their eq-

uity work in increasing the number of Latinx students obtaining an ADT. During the 2019-20 academic year, LMC awarded 548 ADTs, or one of every three Associates degrees awarded by the college during this time. LMC’s Latinx students outearned ADTs over their other student populations by 2.9%. “I am honored to work with such dedicated classified professionals, faculty and managers, who are focused on learning, completion, and equitable outcome for all of our students,” says LMC President Bob Kratochvil. “With a Latinx student population of over 40 percent, this recognition gives us another indicator we are on the right path and making progress in helping our students achieve their educational goals with us.” DVC awarded 1,161 ADTs, more than half of all Associate Degrees awarded by the college during this time. Black and Latinx students out earned ADTs over other student populations at the college by 6% and 3.4% respectively. The Campaign for College Opportunity’s mission has been to ensure that all eligible and motivated students in California have an opportunity to go to college and succeed.

Two state honors for Heritage High coach by Michael Dixon Correspondent

Heritage High School’s girls basketball team played its last game of the 2021 season on Oct. 26. But the weeks since then have been rich for Patriots coach Janet Hannigan. Shortly after the season, Hannigan was named as the North Coast Section Girls Volleyball Honor Coach for 2021. More recently, she was named the California Girls Volleyball Coach of the Year. “Everything is a ‘we’ -- there’s nothing about ‘I’ at all,” Hannigan said. “I might be the one receiving the award but that doesn’t happen without the right people supporting you. I thank my colleagues too. There are some amazing people here at school who love my program, ask the questions and want to support my kids.” Hannigan had a long list of thank-yous. She’s been the varsity coach at Heritage since 2006, the first year that the Patriots had a varsity girls volleyball program. In that time, she’s worked with many assistants. This year, the assistants were junior varsity coach Becky Packard and freshman coach Amie Hartman. Hannigan also gave a thank-you to the parents and players she’s worked with. And while this award is specifically for her work in coaching the girls team, Hannigan is also the boys coach. Last school year, the girls season that normally would have been played in the fall of 2020 was moved to the spring of 2021 due to COVID-19 restrictions. That meant double duty for Hannigan. “The boys (team) parents realized I was coaching both teams,” Hannigan said. “If either the girls or boys group got upset with us or felt that they weren’t getting the best, they would have been upset. We really did di-

vide and conquer. We had the boys in the morning at 6 a.m. and the girls in the afternoon.” Other thank-yous included the two athletic directors that she’s worked with, Pat Cruickshank and now Nate Smith. Hannigan praised both, saying she couldn’t have asked for two better athletic directors and that “I have been so blessed to work with people like them who

value what I bring to the program.” Hannigan also thanked her husband, Steve, for his support over the years. “I couldn’t do this job unless he was supportive and patient, and understanding long days together,” she said. “He has been nothing but that for many years.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net

Liberty boys basketball team finishes second at Stonebarger Tournament by Michael Dixon Correspondent

After a one-year hiatus due to COVID-19, the Stonebarger Tournament returned to Liberty this year. It gave the Lions boys basketball team a chance to compete with some of the stronger teams in the area. The Lions won their first two games of the tournament, setting up a finals matchup with Northgate on Dec. 11. The Broncos were ultimately too strong for Liberty, defeating the Lions 59-47 to win the tournament. With that, Liberty finished the Stonebarger tournament 2-1 and came away with a second-place finish. Lions coach Jon Heinz liked the performance of his team over the three days. “I think we had a solid tournament,” Heinz said. “Northgate is undefeated right now and they’re a polished, seniorheavy team that will win 20-plus games. Overall we played well. We made some mistakes. We always play with intensity.

We can really shoot the ball this year. Once we get all of our X’s and O’s, I feel confident that we’ll compete for a league title this year.” At the end of the tournament, three Liberty players -- senior guard Connor Boyle, junior guard Julian Costa and junior forward Miles Lawrence -- were named to the All-Tournament team. Liberty got the tournament going on Dec. 9 against Enochs -- a team that Heinz said was a lot better than he expected. The Lions took a 22-5 lead after the first quarter. Enochs would battle back in the second half but ultimately, Liberty’s lead was too strong and the Lions won 65-61. The following day, Liberty was matched up against East Bay Athletic League school Foothill. The Falcons already had wins over a pair of Bay Valley Athletic League teams, beating Antioch by 20 and Deer Valley by 10. In the early see Stonebarger page 13

going, it seemed like Foothill would beat another BVAL team, as the Falcons led the Lions 13-5 after one quarter. From there, though, it was all Liberty. The Lions surrendered only 13 more points for the rest of the game. And while Liberty had what Heinz called an off shooting night, the Lions offense did more than enough over the final three quarters to prevail 46-26. “If you can hold an EBAL team to 26 points and win by 20, that’s a good night,” Heinz said. “They had already beaten Antioch and Deer Valley. For us to not shoot well and win by 20, that’s a good night for us.” While it’s still early, Liberty’s wins at the Stonebarger will potentially come in handy down the road. Both Enochs and Foothill are Division 1 schools. Wins over them will bolster the Lions resume for the North Coast Section playoffs. Even on bad shooting nights, Liberty will be a hard team to completely shut down. Heinz pointed out that while they likely will not be a team with one dominant scorer, the Lions have strong balance. Case in point, four Liberty players have scored 20 points in a varsity game while two others have cracked 30 in a junior varsity game. Liberty’s junior varsity team also finished second at the Stonebarger Tournament. Like the varsity team, the JV Lions got matched up with Enochs and Foothill in the first two games and came away with wins. Liberty lost to Campolindo in the fi-

nal. Sophomores Gavin Cook Whisenton and Josh Heinz earned All-Tournament honors. Given that there was no tournament last year, just having the Stonebarger this year was beneficial. Beyond just having it, this year’s tournament was bigger than

ever. In past years, the Stonebarger Tournament had featured eight varsity teams and four junior varsity teams. This year, for the first time, the tournament included eight varsity and junior varsity squads. “I had so many coaches come up and say the atmosphere was unbelievable

this year,” Heinz said. “It was great to be back, and it was better than ever. We’re already excited to hold it again next year. We’re going to try to make it better every year. I thought we had great crowds. The student sections were amazing.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net

Brentwood 16-year-old Brianna Sharp and her horse, Jagger, recently finished second in the world in the pole bending event at the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association’s Junior World Finals in Las Vegas. Participants qualify for the event during several nationwide qualifying events throughout the year that lead up to the Junior World Finals. The top two from each qualifier move on to the finals. Sharp, who has qualified for the finals three years in a row, missed out on first place by three-hundredths of a second. The second-place finish is arguably her best yet. She previously finished third in the nation in pole bending at the National High School Rodeo Finals in 2019.

Vierra is the owner of Valley Oak Arabians, a breeding farm located on Marsh Creek Road in Brentwood. He has been a professional breeder of Arabian horses since 1983. The United States National Arabian and Half-Arabian Championship Horse Show, better known simply as U.S. Nationals, has been an annual event in Tulsa for 55 years, according to the United States Equestrian Federation, the governing body for most horse sports in the United States. Nearly 1,000 entries competed in a variety of classes at the Oct. 30 event, with Preludio competing in a class of 10 senior stallions to win the championship. Prior to coming into Vierra’s care two years ago, Preludio had also won several competitions in South America, including in Uruguay and Brazil, and sired several offspring that will also enter the show circuit and expand his legacy.

to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http://www. qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-20-880150-AB. 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 website. 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 800-280-2832, or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan. com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-20-880150-AB 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note

Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, 916-939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website, www.nationwideposting.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 9987-1819. 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 website. 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 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com using the file number assigned to this case, 9987-1819, 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. 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.

Mask

from page 1

The new mask mandate took effect Dec. 15 and will remain until Jan. 15, 2022. But since Contra Costa already has a local masking order in place, the renewed statewide mask mandate doesn’t apply to the county. “People in Contra Costa, regardless of vaccination status, will have to keep wearing face coverings in public settings as they have been doing since August,” Contra Costa Health Services said in a statement. The state action comes after the state saw a 47% increase in the seven-day average case rate, and a 14% increase in hospitalizations since the Thanksgiving holiday, statistics show. The expected increase in holiday travel coincides with the appearance in the state of the omicron variant, which is believed to be more easily transmitted than the delta variant. “This (mandate) will cover about 50% of the state’s population that currently live in counties that do not have a similar mandate,” said California Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly. “In many parts of the state, we do have those mandates county by county.” Along with the statewide mask mandate, the state health department also issued a travel advisory for the state and guidance on attending events attended by more than 1,000

Tunnel

people. Under the new travel advisory, persons entering the state, or residents returning to the state, should be tested for COVID-19 within three to five days of their arrival. Prior to attending such large events, an unvaccinated person must provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test before entering the venue or facility. An antigen test must be completed one day before the event, while a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test must be completed within two days before the event. “We know people are tired and hungry for normalcy,” Ghaly said. “Frankly, I am, too. That said, this is a critical time where we know we have a tool that has worked and can work. We are proactively putting this tool – universal masking in public settings – in place to ensure that we get through a time of joy and hope without a darker cloud of concern and despair. Californians have done this before and, of course, we believe we can do it again.” Face masks have been required indoors in Contra Costa County since early August. At that time, Contra Costa joined six other Bay Area counties and the city of Berkeley in a joint health order requiring mask use indoors regardless of vaccination status. Will Harper, Contra Costa Health Service communications and media relations specialist, noted that the county’s exceptions to its mask order will remain in effect despite the

be fulfilled. One special part of the new theater is a row of seats salvaged from the Fox Theater in San Francisco. When the Fox Theater was demolished in 1963, former BUSD superintendent Bill Bristow brought the seats to Edna Hill Middle School to be used in that theater. They were pulled out and replaced 10 years ago and have been in storage ever since. “The idea to use the chairs was just an idea, someone made the suggestion,” said Robin Schmitt, chief business official of the school district. “When we met with the architect and the builder, they said we could see what it costs, and it

facilities with a focus on ways to reduce or avoid construction-related local effects,” she wrote. “The DCA has organized the SEC to provide valuable input in understanding these local effects and the ways they might be minimized or avoided. This work is expected to result in recommendations by the DCA to DWR for design of the proposed project and suggestions on construction methodology.” Nazli Parvizi, stakeholder engagement manager with the DCA, said that a December

more restrictive state order. “There will be no changes for Contra Costa,” he said. “The state order doesn’t apply to counties that have their own orders, which means we can maintain our exceptions as well.” The county reported an increase in COVID-19 cases, but the increase is less than has been observed at the state level. The county has experienced an 18.9% increase in active COVID-19 cases over the two weeks before Dec. 14. Hospitalizations increased by 10.9 % over the same time frame. “The recent increase in cases and the emergence of a new variant are reasons for concern, as are the upcoming holidays where families from different households will gather indoors,” Harper said. “The recent rise in cases likely has something to do with people gathering during Thanksgiving, although we can’t say that definitively. (It’s) hard to predict the future, especially with omicron. We are strongly recommending that everyone eligible for a booster get one as soon as possible.” To date, no cases of the omicron variant have been detected in the county, but Harper noted that the variant was detected in a wastewater sample last week. Additionally, Ghaly said at a press conference on Monday, Dec. 13, that its increased transmissibility can make it become the dominant variant.

was well within budget. It was a great way to show respect.” The chairs are a little worse for wear after their time in storage, but Schmitt said they are being restored to their former glory to sit in a special place in the new theater. Since the theater is being built on city land, the district is working with city officials to reach a mutually beneficial agreement. “The theater will be on city land, but we have an agreement to build on that and we are looking at trading or purchasing the land, sort of a joint-use agreement that benefits both parties,” said Schmitt. “We have a great working relationship with the city, and we will work it out to benefit both

2021 end date was always part of DCA’s plan and was discussed in one of the committee’s first few meetings. That date coincided with completion of the project’s conceptual design. As might be expected with a large, complex and controversial project, the interaction between the SEC and DCA did not always go smoothly. In April 2020, members of the SEC suggested that project planning should be paused as the state struggled to come to terms with the impact of the burgeoning COVID-19 pandemic. Some members argued that meeting with constituents would be exponentially more difficult, particularly in environmental justice communities and parts of the Delta where high-speed internet connections are not common. Then-Executive Director Kathryn Mallon took an unwavering stance that the project would continue despite the challenges presented by the pandemic. “We were outraged,” said Karen Mann, SEC member and president of Save the California Delta Alliance and SEC member. “The problem is that I can’t get the word out to my stakeholders, which is Discovery Bay. We couldn’t have meetings. We couldn’t show people maps. They were going to keep on the process with SEC members or without. If any SEC member was to resign, they would reach out and replace them.” The role of the SEC was to provide feedback on the project’s plans, not to debate

“I think what we’ve already learned is that this is a very, very transmissible form, and that it does have some degree of impact on vaccines,” Ghaly added. “We’re trying to clarify that as quickly as possible so that we can make good decisions for the state.” The seven-day average positivity rate in the county has climbed from 2.3% on Nov. 1 to 2.7% on Nov. 30, statistics show. The positive test rate is a primary indicator of the direction the pandemic is going, and a sharp increase would be cause for concern. So far, that has not materialized, officials said. During the summer spike in cases, the positive test rate topped out at 8.7%. During the peak of the winter wave one year ago, it exceeded 11%, records show. “Our collective actions can save lives this holiday season,” Aragón said. “We are already seeing a higher level of transmission this winter, and it is important to act now to prevent overwhelming our busy hospitals so we can provide quality health care to all Californians. All Californians should get vaccinated and receive their booster. Getting your whole family up to date on vaccination is the most important action you can take to get through the pandemic and to protect yourself from serious impacts from the virus and its variants. Testing and masking remain important tools in slowing the spread.”

parties. The more opportunity we have for our students and community members to use it, the better.” The theater will be complete with a parking lot, and Schmitt said he anticipates other local groups using the theater since it will be large and centrally located. “We are just excited to have yet another theater,” Schmitt said. “It gives another place to provide our youth and adults with a meaningful way to participate in the arts. It provides a huge opportunity for our kids at Bristow. The choir and band programs are already big, and this will allow them to grow beyond what they are now, since they will have a full stage to perform on.”

the value of the project itself. But both sides expressed frustration at the amount of time spent doing just that. “We have no say in whether the project should exist, should continue, should go forward,” Parvizi said. “That’s not the DCA’s role. We don’t have those debates with anybody. That’s not our job. I think folks understood that, but I don’t think anyone’s going to let an opportunity pass when they’ve got a public forum. But it did make the role of the SEC less effective.” Signs of frustration with the process were evident as at least two SEC members – Mann and Restore the Delta Executive Director Barbara Barrigan-Parrilla – resigned from the committee in recent months. Barrigan-Parrilla cited DWR’s lack of meaningful engagement with environmental justice communities, while Mann called the process a “sham.” Parvizi acknowledged that these resignations might have influenced the timing of the group’s dissolution. “I think there would have been more resignations,” she said. “The point was not to have it just sputter off. We had a goal of trying to get feedback on engineer considerations. As we did that and our job wrapped up, then it made sense to end the SEC. That was always the plan. But I think the departures, for whatever reasons people had, were a sign that we were doing the right thing by

ending it.” Despite the challenges, Bethel Island and SEC member David Gloski ticked off a number of wins including the relocation of a tunnel shaft away from Discovery Bay; the relocation of a barge landing that was originally slated for a popular sailboat anchorage and moving construction operations away from areas used by sandhill cranes. “I think we did a whole lot helping them realize certain things about the Delta that they had to look out for,” he added. “There were concrete ways I saw that the conceptual designs were changed so that the Delta was less affected and wildlife was less affected.” DCA final conceptual design will be the basis for DWR’s draft environmental impact report that is expected to be published in the middle of next year. The creation of the SEC was not a mandated action; DCA did so voluntarily. The input gathered made the conceptual design better, Parvizi said, adding that the process that resulted in the SEC will likely serve as a blueprint for future efforts. Still, determining if the process was effective is difficult. “I have a hard time saying it was successful,” Parvizi said. “I think the SEC would say, ‘No it wasn’t. Your success is not our success.’ But I do think it was important. I do think it was necessary.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net
