REGIONAL Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed an executive order in an effort to increase access to COVID-19 resources, particularly access to at-home testing kits and in-person testing sites. The COVID-19 Emergency Response Bill has a price tag of $2.7 billion, according to a Jan. 8 press release issued by the governor’s office. Nearly half of that figure — $1.2 billion — will go to increasing “testing efforts through expanded hours and capacity at testing sites, distributing millions of COVID anti-

gen tests to local health departments, clinics, county offices of education and schools, and more.” This focus on expanded availability of testing comes in the wake of the emergence of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus in mid-November and its rapid global spread.

As of Jan. 11, the California Department of Public Health reported an increase in statewide cases over the past eight weeks, with nearly one in four people (23.1%) tested yielding a positive result. Locally, Contra Costa Health Services reported a 68.9% increase in new daily cases compared to

the previous week as of Jan. 12. This increase in the number of cases has led to testing sites being overwhelmed and stores struggling to keep at-home testing kits on shelves. The demand for the test kits has gotten so high that at least one store has see COVID-19 page 18A

by Tony Kukulich Correspondent

REGIONAL Redistricting efforts at the federal, state, county and local levels will change the names and faces representing many East County residents in the new year. Every 10 years, electoral districts across the state are redrawn using federal Census data. As the distribution of populations shifts, district boundaries are adjusted to ensure the state’s population is evenly allocated among the new districts. The process is complicated and can be, at times, contentious. Locally, the City of

California in this important effort that only takes place every 10 years.

Brentwood is in the middle of a process to redraw the lines for its four city council districts. “Last fall, the city council opted not to be the decision maker on putting together the new maps, unlike what they had done in 2018 when they created the four districts,” said

BRENTWOOD An unidentified 43-year-old Turlock man was fatally shot and his family member taken into custody on suspicion of the shooting during a family disturbance at the Brentwood Park Apartments on Sycamore Avenue in Brentwood on Jan. 9, police said. Brentwood police, responding to reports of gunshots in the 160 block of Sycamore Avenue at 4:25 p.m., found the man dead outside on the apartment complex grounds, police said. Police are withholding the victim’s name pending notification of next of kin, although the suspect and victim are believed to be family members. The suspect, 18-year-old Brentwood resident Israel Resendiz, was taken into custody at the scene, as was the suspected firearm used in the act, police said. “Preliminary information revealed the man was shot during a family disturbance,” police added “This was an isolated incident, and there is no threat to the public,” police said in the statement. Eyewitnesses said they observed a man and a woman exit an apartment, with hands in the air, before getting searched and put into the back of separate police vehicles. Residents say that the apartment complex is typically peaceful, with a lot of children who play in the area. Anyone with information related to the crime who has not already been interviewed by police are asked to call Brentwood Police Detective Jordan Sares at 925-809-7911.

The goal of the redistricting is to make sure that each district has about the same number of people and to give communities of common interest a greater voice in choosing council representation. The commission held public meetings in October and December. As of press time, a third meeting is scheduled for Jan. 13 during which 20 district maps will be reviewed; four drawn by the commission and 16 submitted by residents.

110° Magazine co-founder Huntington dies by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer

As a prolific ghostwriter, Donald Huntington’s identity wasn’t always known to readers. But his impact was always felt through his rapport with the community. “Every time I would go visit my father, it felt like he was the mayor of the city, because he knew everyone everywhere we’d go,” said his son, Adam. “Every business, every restaurant, people knew him and loved him.” Huntington, the co-founder of 110° Magazine in Brentwood in 2003, its co-owner until 2007 and editor until 2020 when he retired, died last week after a 37-day battle with COVID-19. He was 78. The former pastor, missionary and technical writer-turned-ghostwriter and magazine owner was arguably most known around East County for his words.. He co-founded the monthly 110° Magazine — dedicated to showcasing and highlighting all the region has to offer with positive, uplifting content, great design, and exciting photographs — in 2003 and ghostwrote the majority of articles in it, from its inception until his retirement. He also ghostwrote about 25 books, including ones for East County cowboy legend Jack Roddy and community leader John Slatten. A ghostwriter is a freelance writer who writes text (story, article, book, etc.) that is credited to someone else. A ghostwriter is hired to produce high-quality copy that sounds professional.

But more than his gift of words was his affinity for people. The 25-year East County resident is remembered as a positive, optimistic, loving and popular figure who could connect with anyone on any topic — often turning a complex conversation into easy-tounderstand reading material. He also never spoke badly of anyone, could recite classic poems and gave such great hugs that he garnered the name “the huganator,” many recalled. “He didn’t (hug) people just to be polite. He was genuinely happy to see people and wanted to make sure they knew he was genuinely happy to see them,” said Dawn Marie, Huntington’s daughter. Dana Eaton, Brentwood Rotary Club president, said Huntington’s greetings will stick with him forever. “I remember when I first joined (Rotary), he gave me a big hug and said, ‘Welcome to this place that you belong.’ He greeted every Rotarian in this manner,” Eaton said. “During his 16 years of Rotary service, Don made our club better and he made our community better. He will be missed greatly.” In a statement, 110° Magazine wrote, “Don Huntington ghost wrote the majority of the articles and always wrote his famous BACK PAGE - “I was just thinking.” Many of our readers told us they would read his back page first and were always uplifted and inspired by it…He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.” As natural as ghostwriting came to Huntington, the career might not have materialized if not for chance.

HUNTINGTON The former four-year pastor and fouryear missionary was an avid reader, but the Erie, Pennsylvania native didn’t dabble in writing as a career until securing a role as a technical writer in 1983 after obtaining his doctorate in education at Michigan State. In that role, he was tasked with helping create a company newsletter. But when his co-workers failed to deliver their articles, Huntington took it upon himself to interview them and ghostwrite the articles himself. Huntington was laid off as a technical writer after 20 years with multiple companies around 2003, but then a friend, artist Richard Koscher, asked him if he’d be interested in being the editor for his start-up magazine.

Huntington admitted that he didn’t know what an editor did, but he said ‘yes’ anyway. And just like that, 110° Magazine, and Huntington’s favorite career of his life, was launched when he was 60. “He (Huntington) would always say writing that newsletter was the training for ghostwriting for 110,” Dawn Marie remembered. “He felt it was a God thing, that his entire life was leading up to that gift (ghostwriting). He was never resentful that it took him that long to figure that out. He felt everything happened for a purpose and it all led to that.” Huntington went on to ghostwrite thousands of articles for the monthly publication, frequently ‘astonishing’ experts by writing clear, entertaining and understandable pieces about complex topics after talking to those experts, his family remembered. “One woman told him, ‘You took my words and gave them back to me in a song,’” said Rae Huntington, Don’s wife of 56 years. The satisfaction of the experts Huntington interviewed was exceeded only by his own enjoyment interacting with them and completing the pieces. Throughout this life, Don frequently told his family that he hoped to be a blessing to everyone, and have them be a blessing to him. Dawn Marie said his writing career was proof that that goal was achieved — harnessing his love of learning and connecting with others. “I cannot tell you how many people he see Huntington page 3A

Huntington through 110° Magazine, said people equally loved being in Huntington’s company. “One thing about Don is that he meets you, and in five minutes, he’s your new best friend,” Morey said. “He exemplifies God’s love for us, is the kind of man that you can come to with anything. He had this remarkable ability to make everyone feel like they were on top of the world.” A celebration of life for Don will be held on Monday,

Under California law, what happens to your property if you are married and one of you passes away without a Will or Living Trust? The property a surviving spouse receives depends on how the married couple owned property (i.e., as separate property or community property). As a general rule, community property is property you acquire while you are married, and separate property is property you acquire before you are married. Please note that there are a couple of exceptions. For example, gifts and inheritances given to one spouse are separate property, even if acquired during marriage. The surviving spouse inherits the deceased spouse’s half of the community property. If the deceased spouse owned separate property the surviving spouse will inherit all or a portion of it. The size of the surviving spouse’s share of the deceased spouse’s separate property depends on whether or not the deceased

Last week I listed the reasons why our current real estate market looks like the one in 2008 that crashed. This week I’ll give some of the reasons why it doesn’t feel like the same scenario. (And if you are wondering, no, I don’t always say that real estate prices go up. I warned buyers prior to the last crash that they may want to hold off on buying.) I’d say that the number one reason that I don’t fear a crash coming this time is that loan underwriting is much stricter than it was in the run-up to the 2008 crash. Back then, it was very easy to get approved for a loan that you couldn’t afford. Lenders were actually encouraging buyers to lie about their income. Everyone knew that the buyer couldn’t afford the payments, but the hope was that prices would continue to escalate and everything would just magically be OK. That’s changed. Lenders are actually verifying borrower’s income, then they compare that income to the payment they will be asked to make. While exceptions can be made for unique situations (like the self-

employed where income can sometimes be hard to verify), in general, the lenders want to make sure that the borrower can reasonably be expected to repay their loan based on their “real” verified income. On top of stricter underwriting, borrowers themselves are putting more money down. Low-down payment loans are still available, but not commonly used around here. In 2008, we saw some buyers buy homes with no money down, or even get money BACK at closing if the appraisal came in high enough. This created a scenario where it was easy for buyers to “walk away” when prices drop. But now we are seeing a significant percentage of buyers putting more than 20% down. Some put 50%, and many are paying 100% cash for their homes. If you have questions about real estate, call me at (925) 240-MOVE (6683). Voted “Best of Brentwood” multiple times.

Spending part of my day with these ladies is truly a blessing, and anyone who thinks you can talk to seniors like children should hang out with Elba, Ethel and Cleo. Elba The oldest of the three, at 105, is Elba Cruse who giggles and enjoys lively conversation. I met her several months ago and we became fast friends over many visits. I wrote an article about Elba and she sent copies to all of her loved ones. Ethel The second one is Ethel Badham who joked about the spelling of her last name. I met her for the first time today and enjoyed getting to know her. Ethel started as a secretary and moved up through the ranks at a savings and loan company to become the manager. Donna mentioned that Ethel never misses an exercise class and that is how she stays vital and strong. Garcia added that she rows harder and faster than anyone in the class! At 103, she is delightful and friendly. I plan more visits to see her for sure. Cleo The third lady, and baby of the group at 100, is Cleo Thompson who I’ve been privileged to call my friend for over a decade. She and my mom lived next door to each other at Cortona Park, becoming the best of friends immediately. Since my mom’s passing 4 years ago, I’ve stayed in touch with Cleo by visits, phone calls and daily text messages. Back in the ‘60s, we used the word “cool” to describe what these three ladies represent today. They brought that word back, indeed. Garcia plans to continue these meetings, and add different ideas each time. All residents should come and enjoy the laughter, stories and share theirs as well if they would like. It will be the first Monday of every month in the living room at 3:15 p.m. I plan to attend whenever I can and soak in the history and joy of these outstanding seniors.

I just had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with three beautiful ladies all over 100 years of age. They reside at Cortona Park Senior Living here in Brentwood. Nany Garcia arranged a centenarian meeting to discuss everything from what they did as a career to how Senior they keep themselves orner looking great. Anyone who resides there was welcome to come to listen to anecdotes the ladies told. Since it was the first monthly meeting, a few other residents showed up, Marla mesmerized by the Luckhardt three ladies. Garcia will encourage more residents to join in and a suggestion was made for a tea party next time. One guest who resides there named Margaret offered to bring some of her precious cup and saucers that she brought here from England, where she is from. Festive and flowery hats were another idea to make it even more fun. With COVID-19 still in the picture, precautions are being taken with social distancing and face masks but many activities that were cancelled over the past year are beginning again, says Garcia. Everyone was excited to be able to see one another again after a long lockdown in their apartments. Ada, age 97, who was a librarian at a high school, described some of her background. When I playfully put my finger to my lips and said ‘shhhhh,’ she smiled and said that doesn’t work too well with a room full of teenagers! When Donna, another resident, asked if she loves to read, Ada replied that she prefers to handle them and I chuckled out loud; a true librarian.

Barbara Ann Fletcher Skaggs

ing and the other on the pit crew. Barbara always had a love of racing that she got from her dad. She was a teacher for Oakley school district, Oakley Elementary. Her students loved her, and she loved them. She had a talent for kids, she just had that teacher ‘voice’. Kids listened to her and she enjoyed watching them learn and grow. Many students came back over the years to thank her, which meant very much to her. Barbara was on the Flag team in high school, participating at football games and parades, and was also on several bowling leagues at Danville Bowl. She liked to do arts and crafts and made scrapbooks for her kids. She took several classes at Los Medanos College while pregnant and working, never shying away from hard work. She loved to go anywhere – out to dinner, movies, driving trips, up to the mountains to camp at Calaveras with her mom, dad, and sister; Then in later years with her husband and kids, and in later years grandkids. Shortly before her death, she was planning with her sister to take the family on a trip to Calaveras in the summer of 2022. She was very outgoing and loved

talking with people. Her favorite birthday cake was always from Mike’s pastry shop. Every year, everyone’s birthday cake had to be from there. Barbara is survived by her parents, Walter “Butch” Fletcher and Betsy Ohran Fletcher; her sister Kathy Fletcher Olund and her brother-in-law Dave Olund; her son, Jeff Skaggs, Jr., and her daughter-in-law Mallory; her daughter Melissa Skaggs; her three grandchildren – William, Gage and Codie, whom she had guardianship of, adored, and was raising along with her husband before his passing, as well as extended family and in-laws. She was preceded in death by her husband Jeff Skaggs Sr., her grandmother Beth whom she shared a five-generation photo with, as well as many other relatives. She has left a void in our heart and will be greatly missed by all her family and many friends. A viewing will be at Higgins Funeral Chapel on A Street in Antioch on January 20 from 11 a.m. to noon. Graveside service at Union Cemetery in Brentwood is at 1 p.m., followed by a gathering after cemetery service at Higgins at 3 p.m.

Donald Huntington

his loving wife Rae Esther (Scott) Huntington; his three children, son Matthew and wife, Elizabel; daughter Dawn Marie and husband Timothy Sable; son Adam Scott; grandson Adam Donald Huntington; his sister Mary Lou and husband Larry Loomis; nephews and nieces; and many cousins. Don lived the last 25 years of his life in Contra Costa County. During that time, he was an encouragement to many people. They could feel his love and concern for them. In 2003, Richard Koscher and Don were the founders of two lifestyle magazines, 110 Degree Magazine and 86 Degrees Magazine. In 2007, Don continued as Editorial Director when Tricia Piquero purchased the magazine. Don was active in Rotary, a ghostwriter extraordinaire of multiple books, an inspirational speaker, a member in the local chorus, and a member of two different churches. People would say he gave the best hugs and describe him as one of the most optimistic people they know. In the morning, he would hold his hands out and ask God to let him be a

blessing to others. He gave of himself selflessly, whether taking people to the airport, serving pancakes with fellow Rotarians, or just showing up when people needed someone. A song he sang regularly, meaning every word, was ‘Count your blessings, name them one by one, count your blessings, see what God has done.’ He looked at life joyfully and continually found so much to be thankful for, and encouraged others to do the same. He loved his life; he loved his family, and everyone he met. A celebration of life for Don will be held on Monday, Jan. 31, at 11 a.m at Campos Family Vineyards, 3501 Byer Road, in Byron. All COVID-19 protocols will be followed and face masks will be required. Per Don’s wishes, in lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations be made to the Rotary International’s Polio Plus Society at https://www.endpolio.org/donate. A great light has gone out of this world. His memory will be cherished by those who knew him.

May 21, 1961 – December 28, 2021 Barbara passed away unexpectedly leaving family and friends in shock. She had gone to the hospital for a brief procedure hoping to return home the same day so that she could celebrate Christmas with her family. Sadly, there were complications and she was not able to come home. Barbara was married to her loving husband, Donald Jeff Skaggs, shortly after graduating from high school in 1979. In 2019, they were able to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary in Las Vegas. Her husband, Jeff, passed away in May of 2020, leaving a great void in her life, but now they are reunited. She started school at Meadow Homes in Concord, then moved to the San Ramon school district at the end of elementary school. She and her husband were avid in racing at the Antioch Speedway, taking turns each year with one driv-

April 21, 1943 – January 4, 2022 Don Huntington succumbed to Covid pneumonia on January 4, 2022, at age 78. He was born on April 21, 1943, in Erie, Pennsylvania. Following high school graduation, Don met Rae, his sister’s friend, at a summer church camp. One evening Don and five other young people, including Rae, went on a moonlight hike. When Rae said that her hands were cold, Don said that he would keep one warm. They held hands and that was the beginning of the love they shared. They went to different colleges and during that time they wrote hundreds of letters. After college they were married in the Girard Alliance Church in Pennsylvania and enjoyed their life together, their children, and many amazing adventures for 56 years. Don was preceded in death by his parents and sister Nancy Brigaman. He is survived by

Omicron outbreak prompts schedule changes by Michael Dixon Correspondent

With COVID-19 numbers continuing to spike -- particularly with the Omicron variant -- and cancellations already taking place, the Bay Valley Athletic League has made some changes to its schedule. And while all sports are scheduled to go on, most of them will have a modified schedule from what had previously been announced. The changes to the sports are as follows. Soccer No change. Soccer has three advantages over the other two winter sports when it comes to COVID modifications. One, it’s outdoors. Two, the venues are generally significantly more spacious than indoor venues. That allows for better social distancing in the crowds. Finally, while there is some close contact in soccer, the nature of the sport is usually more spread out than basketball and wrestling and contact is often for a small window of time. Therefore, if there is a positive test, less contact tracing will be necessary. The soccer schedule will still be a double round-robin format, with all six BVAL schools competing in both home and road matches against all five of their league rivals. The first BVAL games were played on Wednesday, Jan. 12. The league schedule is set to conclude on Friday, Feb. 11 and the

Several Freedom and Miramonte girls basketball players battle for possession during a game earlier this season. The rising number of COVID-19 cases has prompted the Bay Valley Athletic League to alter basketball and wrestling schedules. North Coast Section playoff tournament is still planned to take place. Basketball While the 2021-22 season was set to be

a return to relative normalcy for high school basketball in California, some of those returns will be put on hold for another year. The good news is that the league season

will still commence. But the double roundrobin schedule that was set to begin on Tuesday, Jan. 11 will now be both delayed and shortened. Instead of a double round-robin, BVAL teams will now play their five league rivals only once during the regular season. The regular season will also be heavily truncated, lasting less than two weeks. The first BVAL games will tip off on Wednesday, Jan. 26 and the regular season will conclude on Monday, Feb. 7. The regular season finale, though, will not mark the end of league play. Similar to college basketball leagues, whose tournament champions receive an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament, the BVAL Tournament champion will receive an automatic entry into the NCS Tournament. Wrestling Rather than competing in a dual meet against each league opponent -- which was originally scheduled and was normal preCOVID -- the BVAL teams will now compete in three quad meets, which will match them up with three other league opponents. While not standard operating procedure at Division 1 high schools in California, meets matching up more than one school are more common at smaller schools and in other states. Quad meets can give individual wrestlers a chance to compete in more than one match per meet. see Schedules page 11A

Young Freedom girls soccer team ready for BVAL play by Michael Dixon Correspondent

Anyone going to a girls soccer game involving Freedom High School this season will be seeing some different faces than the ones that have taken the field for the Falcons in year’s past. And while a high turnover rate is common in high school sports, Freedom’s team skews younger than normal. The Falcons roster includes only four seniors -- Olivia Fleming, Paulina Gutierrez, Jessica Kwasney and Natalia Gallegos. At the always important goalkeeper position, Freedom will have Lauren Zamora, a freshman. But while youth can often be detrimental in high school sports, Falcons coach Matt Oliveri doesn’t see it that way. “I like how we’re young,” he said. “We’re a little bit younger this year but a lot of the younger players are good. I think they’ll be able to match up. They’re young but have experience in club and preseason. We’re young but not scared of playing teams.” Not being scared of playing teams was a good trait for the young Falcons during the preseason. None of the six teams that Freedom played in the preseason current-

ly has a losing record. Two, College Park and Tracy, are .500 with 3-3-1 records. The remaining four — Kimball, Archbishop Mitty, Lincoln and Clayton Valley Charter — all have winning records. But Freedom managed its tough preseason schedule well. The Falcons started with a pair of 1-0 wins over College Park and Tracy. After losses to Clayton Valley, Mitty and Lincoln, Freedom defeated Kimball 2-1, closing out the preseason schedule at 3-3. “So far, so good. We had a decent preseason and got a couple of good wins,” Oliveri said, citing the win over College Park as one with which he was particularly happy. Freedom was also competitive in most of its losses. The Falcons lost 5-0 to Archbishop Mitty but the Monarchs are not only good at 5-2-1 but heavily experienced, fielding a roster with 10 seniors and seven juniors. Freedom’s other losses came in closer, low-scoring games. The Falcons fell 1-0 to Clayton Valley Charter and 2-1 to Lincoln. And while youth is a definite trend on the Freedom team, there are some exceptions. Gutierrez and fellow midfielder, junior Nayomi Ruiz, are two of the Fal-

cons top players. But other key returning players, such as midfielder/forward Kelsey Imrisek-Kawalkowski and defender Alexa Rodriguez, are both sophomores. Zamora is not the only freshman that Oliveri is expecting big things from. Trying to keep shots away from Zamora will be fellow freshman, defender Brooklyn Pierce. And for the young Falcons, getting tested with a tough preseason schedule should prove to be vital with Bay Valley Athletic League play now here. Oliveri expects no dips in competition from any of the BVAL teams. “They’re all going to be tough,” he said. “Each school, each team, gives the other teams they’re own problems.” “We want to be competitive in the league,” he added. “Hopefully finish in the top and get back into NCS -- after there were no playoffs last year.” The Falcons got their BVAL schedule going on Wednesday, Jan. 12 with a road game against Antioch. The results were not available at press time. Freedom’s next

two games will both be on the road as well. The Falcons will be at Heritage on Friday, Jan. 14 and Liberty on Wednesday, Jan. 19. Freedom’s first home game in the BVAL is scheduled for Friday, Jan. 21 against Pittsburg. All BVAL games, home and road, are scheduled to start at 6 p.m. Soccer’s return to the winter has some advantages -- namely, it’s when high school soccer was always played in California pre-COVID and is what most of the players and coaches had grown used to. But the return has also brought some challenges. COVID brought a lighter practice schedule and an abbreviated season last year. This year, the schedule is closer to normal but COVID hasn’t gone away. “It’s a little different trying to keep everyone safe and healthy,” Oliveri said. “But having more practice time and being together I think is going to help us. I think they’ve adjusted well. It gives us more time together as a team.”

The Heritage High School varsity cheer team recently won the Deer Valley Competition. “Great job girls,” said the team in a statement. (It’s) wonderful to see your hard work paying off.”

Schedules from page 10A Like basketball, the schedule is condensed. The quad meets will begin on Wednesday, Jan. 19 and will conclude on Tuesday, Feb. 1. The BVAL Championships are still scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 10. The NCS Tournament is still scheduled to take place at James Logan High School in Union City on Friday, Feb. 18 and Saturday, Feb. 19. Likewise, the California Interscholastic

Federation Championships remain scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 24, Friday, Feb. 25 and Saturday, Feb. 26 at Mechanics Bank Arena (formerly Robobank Arena) in Bakersfield. Other, non-BVAL related tournaments, remain unaltered by the change in the schedule. The most updated scheduling information can be found at the school websites or by visiting Maxpreps.com.

Delta tunnels increase probability for the Delta to be a salt water marsh

The proposed Delta Conveyance Project (tunnels) will, if built, be only a short term, 30- to 50-year solution and most likely rendered useless and a waste of money. It’s likely being undertaken now by the water exporters because it addresses all their problems uest comment permanently and dissociates them from any future Delta issues. They also have the best chance of getting it permitted and approved. Let me explain. I believe climate change is happening, it is only the time scale you can debate. We all see the videos of the polar ice caps disappearing, our temperatures rising, and regional weather changing. We can all have this big debate, but with brains chiming in all over the world, I suspect even the biggest skeptics are starting to crack. I will argue with people whether it’s a problem within the next 30 years or

the next 200 years, but make no mistake, things are going to change. Just follow the insurance companies and the risk managers. They are already preparing, and so are some of the people in our state. So pick your time period, but the oceans are rising and there is going to be a decision about whether the California Delta is allowed to become a saltwater marsh, or whether there is some type of gate system put in place with locks around the gates to support shipping. I have talked with some of the state experts and at least for now, privately, this is a decision we should be thinking about. Let’s hypothesize for now that we would like to keep the Delta as fresh water, to support local farmers who use the fresh water for their businesses and to keep the ecosystem more intact with the way it is today as fresh water. So over a period of years, gates and locks will be built on different parts of the Sacramento and San Joaquin River and perhaps on some key sloughs and minor rivers like Dutch Slough and False River, to keep the salt water out. I believe the gates could be operated in a clever way to support fish runs and mimic tides in the Delta. In

times of drought, the gates could control salinity intrusion. Waters would flow, and the Delta’s fresh-water habitat would be continued. So what would this gated Delta environment mean if we already put in the Delta Conveyance Project Tunnels that are being proposed for construction now? Basically, a gated Delta renders the tunnels useless. With the gated Delta controlled and maintained for fresh water, the export pumps have no problem getting good water and there is no problem with salinity intrusion. The tunnels are of little use. They will end up being a colossal waste of money. Will we be able to afford the gated solution after we spend billions on the Delta Conveyance Project? Maybe not. The political pressure will be to delay the gates. The delay might result in more time where salt is allowed to intrude the Delta. There is a chance that supporting the Delta Conveyance Project today sets the path for the Delta to become a saltwater marsh, if politicians don’t have the stomach to render the tunnels useless in the future. You see, the exporters don’t care

Letters Celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr

Editor: As we commemorate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we are reminded of the importance of justice and equality for all. Dr. King beautifully said on August 28th,1963, that, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin

to the

about the Delta. Once they have their tunnel, they are set for the future with their water take being far up the Sacramento River. One gate and lock just below their take will project their water, but render the Delta to be a salt water marsh. So for the exporters, the current Delta Conveyance Project is the end game for them. Once it is done, they are set, really. Their interests are no longer aligned with the Delta. The Delta can turn into a saltwater marsh and they do not care. If they don’t care and their source of funding from the water agencies is out of the mix, will the state find funds to save the Delta from becoming a saltwater marsh? Probably not, they will be worried about protecting millions of people living in low elevation urban areas all around the Bay. So the point is, choosing the Delta Conveyance Project today is raising the chance that the Delta one day will be a saltwater marsh. We should probably be focusing on gates and locks as the solution today to save the Delta to be more how it is today with its wildlife and agriculture. David Gloski Bethel Island resident and engineer

but by the content of their character.” As an Ahmadi Muslim, Dr. King’s words resonated with me as his dream resembled similar words spoken by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) over 1,400 years ago. Knowing his time on Earth was coming to an end, Prophet Muhammad wanted to reiterate the core teachings of Islam to his followers one last time. In what

is called his “Farewell Sermon,” Prophet Muhammad said, “ An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a nonArab has any superiority over an Arab; also a White has no superiority over a Black nor a Black has any superiority over a White except by piety and good action.” On the day dedicated to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., may we never forget the sacrifice he made to bring equality to all and may we show “Love For All and Hatred For None.” (motto of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community). Faiza Ahmed Pittsburg

Brentwood school district’s mask policy is a good thing

Editor: As retired California public school teachers on both the elementary and secondary levels, and Brentwood residents, we wish to support and commend the Brentwood Unified School District for its policy of mandatory student mask wearing since this is the best way to keep our children as safe and healthy as possible. We hope the Board will continue to keep student health and well-being its top priority. Constance Hoban and Mona Jacoves Brentwood

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Notice is hereby given, under Government Code sections 65858 and 65090, that the City Council of the City of Brentwood will, at 7:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the normal course of business permits on January 25, 2022, hold a public hearing to consider: An Urgency Ordinance Extending Urgency Ordinance 1030, Amending Sections 16.020.060, 17.100.005, 17.620.007, and 17.820.003 of, and Adding Chapters 16.169, 17.796, and 17.797 to the City of Brentwood Municipal Code. This action will apply city-wide. Urgency Ordinance 1030 implemented Senate Bill (SB) 9. An ordinance implementing the provisions of SB 9 is not considered a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, codified at Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq., and as further governed by the CEQA Guidelines, found at 14 CCR 15000, et seq.) pursuant to Government Code Sections 66411.7(n) and 65852.21(j). The proposed ordinance extension is also exempt from environmental review pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15378 (not a project), 15301 (existing facilities), and 15303 (new construction/conversion of small structures). Section 15378 defines what constitutes a “project” under CEQA. The State Legislature intended that ordinances such as the one proposed here, adopted in order to implement state law, would not constitute a “project.” Further, Section 15301 exempts from environmental review the addition of up to 10,000 square feet if the project is in an area where all public services and facilities are available to allow for maximum development permissible in the city’s General Plan. All of Brentwood’s single-family residential areas eligible for SB 9 approval meet these two criteria, and it is anticipated that each project undertaken pursuant to SB 9 will not add more than 10,000 square feet of new development. Finally, Section 15303 (new construction/ conversion) exempts from review the construction of up to six new residential structures in urbanized areas. Under the proposed Urgency Ordinance extension, the maximum number of new residential structures that could be constructed pursuant to a lot split combined with new construction is less than six. Applicant: City of Brentwood Consistent with Contra Costa County Health Orders, and in accordance with California Government Code Section 54953 concerning teleconference meetings, the City Council will meet via teleconference meeting. At this time, public participation will be available exclusively via teleconference, using the Zoom video conferencing system.Further information may be obtained from City Clerk Margaret Wimberly [(925) 516-5440 or mwimberly@brentwoodca.gov] in the Department of the City Clerk of the City of Brentwood, 150 City Park Way, Brentwood, California 94513.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 6069 SENECA CIRCLE, DISCOVERY BAY, CA 94514 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated 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 obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $500,261.91 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. 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. 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

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.

The order signed by Newsom seeks to resolve issues with access to both athome test kits and in-person testing sites, according to the press release. The deployment of more than 200 California Nation Guardsmen to 50 testing sites across the state, including the Antioch Community Center, and extended hours

at state-operated sites are meant to increase their capacity to provide testing while another part of the bill targets price gouging practices for at-home tests. “Helping to improve access to these tests at a fair price, the order generally prohibits sellers from increasing prices on COVID-19 At-Home Test Kits by more than 10 percent,” the press release explains. “The order also gives additional tools to the California Department of Justice and Attorney General’s Office, District Attorneys and other local law

rapher will come back at the February meeting with a handful of maps that the commission will then approve and formally submit to the city council,” Ogden explained. “State law requires that they submit at least two. They may submit more. They will go to the City Council for a special meeting scheduled for March 3. The Brentwood City Council will select the final map without making any changes during the March 3 meeting. If a decision cannot be reached then, a second special meeting is tentatively planned for March 10. The city has until April 17 to complete the process. The state will intervene and choose the final map for the city if a map is not adopted by council before the deadline. Having recently adopted district representation, the City of Oakley is exempt from the current redistricting process, said City Manager Joshua McMurray. “Oakley started the (district representation) process in July of last year,” he said. “It ended in December when the City Council formally adopted the district map and everything that goes along with it. We don’t have to (redistrict) for 10 years.” The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors adopted revised borders for its five districts during the Nov. 23 board meeting. All of East County, with the exception of the waterfront area of Antioch, remains in District 3 represented by Supervisor Diane Burgis. The portion of Antioch not represented by Burgis is represented by Supervisor Federal Glover. Responsibility for redistricting at the state level falls on the California Citizens Redistricting Commission. The passage of the Voters First Act in 2008 authorized the creation of the independent California Citizens Redistricting Commission to draw new state Senate, state Assembly and state Board of Equalization district lines. In 2010, the Voters First Act for Congress gave the commission the responsibility of drawing new Congressional

This requirement refers to density, not shape. Census blocks cannot be split. Where practicable, each Senate District should be composed of two complete and adjacent Assembly Districts, and Board of Equalization districts should be com-

posed of 10 complete and adjacent state Senate Districts. In addition, the place of residence of any incumbent or political candidate may not be considered in the creation of a map, and districts may not be drawn for the purpose of favoring or discriminating against an incumbent, political candidate, or political party. U.S. Congressional representation for much of East County – Brentwood, Oakley, Bethel Island and a portion of Antioch – will shift from Rep. Jerry McNerney’s District 9 to District 10, currently represented by Democrat Josh Harder. Harder’s term expires this year, and he has announced that he will seek election in District 13, which includes his hometown of Turlock. Changes to congressional representation become effective with the swearing in of the election winners on Jan. 23, 2023. Discovery Bay will remain in District 9, where McNerney is also up for reelection this year. The waterfront area of Antioch will be represented in District 8. While previously represented in the state Senate by Sen. Steve Glazer, all of East County with the exception of Antioch will transition to Senate District 3, currently represented by Sen. Bill Dodd. Dodd’s term expires in 2024. Antioch will fall under Senate District 9, currently represented by Sen. Nancy Skinner. Skinner’s term also expires in 2024. Residents of East County will also see changes in their representation in the state Assembly. Brentwood and Antioch will become part of Assembly District 15, currently represented by Assemblymember Buffy Wicks from Oakland, whose term expires this year. Oakley, Discovery Bay, Bethel Island and Byron will remain in Assembly District 11, previously represented by Assemblymember Jim Frazier. Frazier retired from the Assembly at the end of December. His term would have expired in 2022. A plan to fill his seat in the interim has not yet been announced.

New Playhouse gives kids thrills while parents chill JAKE MENEZ

he Playhouse is a relatively new spot in Brentwood designed with both young

children and their parents in mind. The space, located at 3901 Walnut Ave. in

The Playhouse in Brentwood is an all-in-one play area, toy store and party venue for kids up to age 5 that also offers parents a chance to socialize and unwind as well.

Brentwood, is an all-in-one play area, toy store and party venue for kids up to age 5 that also offers parents a chance to socialize and unwind as well. “When I was a new mom with my daughter, I would often choose to stay home rather than deal with the anxiety of bringing my baby to the places I used to enjoy,” explained founder Mariah Boveé. “Then one day, I discovered the magic of a local indoor play space, and the rest is history.” After experiencing the feeling of community provided by a space where parents of young children can get together, Boveé made it her goal to travel to as many similar businesses in her area as she could before moving to Brentwood. Although the indoor play areas she visited inspired Boveé to make one of her own, she designed The Playhouse with as much emphasis on the parents’ experience. “The places I was visiting were clearly designed for babies and young kids, but I

wanted to design my space for adults too,” she said. “My space would have seating for adults, have calm, neutral colors, play relaxing music, have snacks and – the most important thing – coffee!” While parents relax with a compli-

mentary cup of coffee, kids have different activities to choose from in the play area filled with playhouses and toys to entertain children. Although The Playhouse is designed with those ages in mind, there are also activities available for slightly older

children as well, according to Boveé. The Playhouse also includes an on-site toy store full of toys and games designed to keep children entertained long after they finish their play session. A popular item from the toy store, according to Boveé, is the jars of Play-Doh she makes herself and sells nationwide online as part of a monthly subscription service. Originally slated for May 2020, the opening of The Playhouse was delayed by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, Boveé began to make and sell the Play-Doh kits by setting up an online store as well as at local pop-ups and the Brentwood Farmers Market. Once “the time felt right” to Boveé, The Playhouse officially opened its doors in August 2021 and attracted the community as both a party venue and a place for open play sessions. “The most rewarding part of the business is seeing the moment the parent walks into the play space and takes a sigh of relief,” Boveé said. “Seeing that moment of relaxation [from parents] while sipping a cup of free coffee. Parents that come here usually make friends as quickly as their children do. It’s really sweet to see two moms exchange numbers after attending a play session.” More information on booking play sessions and party reservations, as well signing up for Play-Doh subscriptions and more, can be found at www.theplayhousebrentwood.com.

Health club welcomes in the new year with new classes DAWNMARIE FEHR

elta Valley Health Club (DVHC) has been in Brentwood since 2002,

and to celebrate the new year, the fitness center just released a new group exercise schedule for 2022. Andy August, the club’s fitness director, said it features more than 50 group classes each week. “We listened to our members and added more yoga, Zumba, kickboxing and spin classes to our already awesome class line-up,” August said. “We also started an eight-week fitness challenge in our popular MX4 program.” August has been at Delta Valley for 13 years, working as a personal trainer, group fitness instructor and coach for the club’s MX4 classes – small group training focused on individual fitness progression. “The MX4 program incorporates ON THE COVER: Delta Valley Health Club trainers, from left, Andy August, Toni Hill, Ty Bell, Lisa Noia, Jennifer Lehrer, Clarice Griffin and Jennifer Johnson (seated), are excited to help clients in the new year.

DVHC offers a Pilates studio with instructors for both private and group Pilates reformer classes. For those inter-

ested in a more custom workout, personal trainers are available to fine tune their clients’ fitness journeys. The campus includes a full-size basketball court, indoor rock-climbing wall and an aquatics building with a lap pool and separate pool for swim lessons. August said there is programming

for all ages, from kids to adults. “Our childcare facility offers safe entertainment for kids ages six months and older,” August said. “If your kids want to participate in a fitness program of their own, our Fit Kids classes are just the thing. These hour-and-a-half long classes are designed by a personal trainer specifically to engage kids aged 8-12 in fun and fitness activities.” Since many New Year’s resolutions include a commitment to health and wellness, most gyms see membership go up each January. August said now is a good time to join the club, “because it’s always a good time to join.” August said a big selling point is the country club feel and welcoming environment. “Here at DVHC we are a family,” she said. “It’s a true honor to work with such incredible people and to work for a health club that has served the Brentwood community for almost 20 years. The entire DVHC team is looking forward to a great year ahead of us.” DVHC is located at 120 Guthrie Lane in Brentwood.

How does hand washing remove germs?

The CDC notes that soap and water worked into a lather trap removes germs and chemicals from hands. Water is a vital component of hand washing, especially when it’s applied to hands before soap. Water helps develop a better lather than people will get when applying soap to dry hands. That’s important because a good lather forms pockets known as micelles that trap and remove germs from hands.

is not necessary for anyone outside of professional healthcare settings. Studies have found no added health benefit of using antibacterial soap as opposed to plain soap and water. So consumers should not fret if they can’t find any antibacterial hand soap on their next trip to the grocery store.

Should I use warm or cold water?

According to the CDC, when combined with soap, water removes the same amount of germs whether it’s warm or cold. Water’s role in handwashing is to help create a lather, and lathers can be created with hot or cold water.

Why is it important When should I wash to wash hands for 20 my hands? Hands should be washed any time seconds? they are visibly dirty or greasy. The CDC Prior to the pandemic, many people likely had no idea that proper handwashing calls for washing hands for 20 seconds. So why so long? The CDC notes that studies have found that hands need to be scrubbed for 20 seconds in order to remove harmful germs. Washing for anything less than 20 seconds runs the risk of leaving germs on your hands.

Should I use antibacterial hand soap? The CDC says antibacterial hand soap

also recommends washing hands: ♦ before, during and after preparing food ♦ before eating ♦ before and after caring for someone at home who is sick with vomiting or diarrhea ♦ before and after treating a cut or wound ♦ after using the toilet ♦ after changing diapers or cleaning up a child who has used the toilet ♦ after touching an animal, animal feed or animal waste ♦ after handling pet food or pet treats ♦ after touching garbage

Women who are anxious and insecure may use makeup to appear less noticeable, while women who want to garner extra attention may use makeup to be more sociable and assertive. Some women may wear makeup to feel more confident and improve their appearance, both in their own eyes and in the eyes of others. Learning how to apply makeup so that it enhances beauty rather than covering up features can take practice. Makeup trends and tips evolve depending on the look women desire. A natural face is all the rage, with dewy radiant skin at the helm. These tips can help get women on the right path, whichever path that is. ♦ Consider lightening up. ‘No makeup’ makeup is a growing trend. Barely-there products can tweak features just enough

to avoid looking washed out and brighten up skin where needed. Look for lighter formulations. ♦ Smooth out texture. A plumping serum can help make mature skin more smooth to prepare the face for makeup application. In addition to a moisturizer, this can fill in fine lines and help the face appear more youthful and dewy. ♦ Use a light hand. Rather than drowning the face in a product, use certain items like concealer sparingly. You can always layer as you go. ♦ Opt for cream-based makeup. Creambased foundations, blushes and highlighters can make a difference in how the makeup wears on the face. People who tend to have dry skin or aging skin may find that creamy formulas help hydrate the skin and make it more radiant, makeup artist Neil Scibelli said. ♦ Modify day to day. Makeup artist Kristofer Buckle suggests skipping a daily makeup ritual and using products depending on what is needed each day. Some days, dark circles may need to be addressed, while other days, redness may be the biggest issue. ♦ Choose two makeup shades. Leave the store with two close foundation hues that can be blended accordingly depending on skin color at particular times of year. Skin color varies from season to season. Match foundation to the jawline down to the neck. – Metro Creative

A more savvy way to shop for healthcare

The steps to becoming a better healthcare consumer are simple and can ensure individuals get the most out of their medical benefits. ♦ Attend information sessions. Health insurance providers and employers typically schedule enrollment meetings whenever a plan is up for renewal and/or being changed. Such meetings can easily get lost in the hectic fray of modern business environments, but professionals should find the time to attend them. Enrollment meetings explain benefits in detail and provide a great opportunity to speak directly with an insurance provider without having to go through the often time-consuming customer service hotline. ♦ Do your homework. Prior to an enrollment meeting, ask for information about

the plans an employer is offering, then go through those plans and jot down any questions you may have and ask them during the meeting. ♦ Avoid overemphasizing cost. Cost is a big consideration for health care consumers. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, the average annual cost of health insurance in the United States is just under $7,500 for an individual and more than $21,000 for a family. Though it may be tempting to choose the least expensive plan you’re offered, avoid overemphasizing cost, especially at the expense of coverage. Adequate coverage that will help individuals and their families avoid financial difficulties in the case of emergencies or significant medical events should be a bigger priority than the cost of the plan. ♦ Learn about the benefits associated with preventive care. Many health insurance plans offer rebates to consumers who have memberships at fitness facilities and use those memberships a certain number of times in a set period of time. These benefits aren’t just ways to save money. They’re also powerful motivators to engage in preventive healthcare, which is one of the best ways for healthcare consumers to save money over the long haul. – Metro Creative
