GAMES & PUZZLES
Here’s How It Works:
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

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 800280-2832 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-21-893576-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-21-893576AB 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 holders right’s against the real property only.

tire and go somewhere new, but it was close enough to ideal,” Beard said of his decision to join Oakley police. “I retired from the Sheriff’s Office and Oakley hired me.”
The transition from a role that covered the entirety of Contra Costa County to the relatively confined borders of a small city took some time, Beard said.
Starting as a detective, Beard progressed to sergeant and lieutenant before becoming police chief. The move from sergeant to lieutenant also meant a transition to a role with more administrative duties that gave him the opportunity to see the inner workings of the city. It also highlighted some opportunities for improving how the Oakley Police interacts with the rest of the city. Beard said one of his top priorities is to explore those opportunities with the goal of creating a more efficient police force.
Beard is, however, facing a significant hurdle right out of the gate.
“My biggest challenge right now is COVID-19,” he said. “It’s impacting our staffing levels. … I deliver a weekly message to the OPD staff. My last message for 2021 was, ‘Guys, we did a great job with (COVID-19). We’ve been impacted minimally. Let’s keep up the good work in 2022.’ I never should have said that because we’ve had several exposures and several illnesses because of (COVID-19).”
Also near the top of Beard’s objectives is growing the department’s administrative staff.
“Right now, I am the sole administrator,” he said. “It’s not effective (for me) to run the administrative portion of the police department. That becomes unfair to the men and women that I serve, that I lead. They need effective leadership. That’ll be something that I work with the city manager on very quickly.”
Beard is the fourth chief of police in the police department’s nearly six-year history. Chief Dean Capelletti, who preceded Beard, was terminated by the city in November after a little more than a year in the role. An investigation into unspecified complaints about Capelletti led to his firing. City officials have revealed few details about the nature of the complaints or the investigation, saying only that it was a civil, not criminal, matter.
Beard said he was introduced to law enforcement at a young age. His paternal grandmother was a deputy sheriff for the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office in Arizona, and she later became the first female police officer for the Chandler Arizona Police Department. His father was also a reserve officer with that department.
“I’m excited for Chief Beard,” said Lt. Walter O’Grodnick of the Brentwood Police Department. “I’ve had an opportunity to interact with him on a few occasions and he’s always demonstrated a high level of professionalism. I have no doubt his tenure, expertise and quality of leadership is an excellent fit for the organization and community.”
When he is off duty, Beard enjoys spending time with his wife and four children. He’s an avid fisherman and is kept busy with his four dogs.
“Here in Oakley, I have served under three chiefs, and I can honestly tell you I have received valuable lessons from all three of them,” Beard said. “Mentorship is a very key thing in all career fields, and law enforcement is no different. I’ve had some very good mentoring to assist me as I take this new role on.”

Union from page 1 tended commutes to new work locations as a result of union representation that has been ineffective in negotiations with the county.
“Our members have not received adequate representation which has resulted in devastating outcomes that will drastically effect [sic] our lives and well-being,” wrote Nicole Donovan, shop steward of Local 2700, in a letter addressed to district Board President Brian Oftedal and Fire Chief Brian Helmick.
The annexation of the fire district by Con Fire was approved by the boards of both organizations this past September. In this process, the fire district will be absorbed in whole by Con Fire, which will then assume responsibility for providing fire and rescue services for what is now the fire district’s service area. That service area occupies 249 square miles of East Contra Costa County.
Fire district Director Joe Young said the consolidation of the districts is not a labor negotiation.
“The terms of the consolidation have already been dictated,” he said. “All employees are to be moved over with parity. No one is to be impacted on a pay and benefits basis. There should be no negotiation going on. … We’ve been promised all along that this will happen. I am hoping, in fact, I’m demanding, that by the time we get to the next LAFCO (Contra Costa County Local Agency Formation Commission) meeting, I expect to hear that this is solved.”
While district firefighters are represented by Local 1230, the responsibility for leading negotiations with the county for the administrative staff fell on Dan Harper, union representative for Local 2700. Donovan specifically called out Harper in her letter, which was read into the public record during the Jan. 12 fire district board meeting. She referred to Harper as “aloof” during meetings and said that he “repeatedly dodged” questions. “Our members are deeply troubled as we are facing significant pay cuts ranging from 15 to 26%; $20,000 per year, while members of Local 1230 stand to make significant increases, with some as much as $40,000 per year,” Donovan wrote. “Members are being relocated to new offices which will increase their cost and time to commute, while being paid less. Others are being moved into unrepresented positions and are fearful that they will not have a guarantee of employment. We feel as though we are being sacrificed, and made to accept the stipulations of employment, which are unreasonably different than what we were promised.”
Harper also participated in the Jan. 12 meeting. He said that claims made in Donovan’s letter were untrue and called on the fire district board of directors to put pressure on the county to resolve the contested positions.
Approval of the annexation rests with LAFCO. The first of two votes required for approval was supposed to have taken place Jan. 12, but technical issues forced the cancellation of that meeting. Helmick has requested that LAFCO consider taking both necessary votes in its February meeting to keep the annexation process on track to close in the second quarter. That decision is still pending.
Steve Aubert of the fire district fire marshal and public information office speaking several days after the Jan. 12 meeting said that some progress on the labor issues had been made.
“We are confident that at least this has opened up the lines of communication and getting the union and county labor relations to start working more collaboratively together to figure this out,” Aubert said. “Ultimately, we know we have some labor-relation issues to still work through, but we think that they’ll be successful at being able to work something out for everyone.”

Mayor from page 1 mosphere.” Additionally, the mayor acts as a figurehead for public events, such as ribbon cuttings.
A councilmember must serve a full year on council before being considered for vice mayor and then mayor.
The member with the most continuous time of service on the Council who has not previously served as Vice Mayor and is not selected Mayor will be selected as Vice Mayor,” reads the section of the Oakley municipal code on mayoral selection. “If two or more members have equal time of continuous service, the member who received the highest number of votes at his/her election shall be selected.”
For his term as mayor, Pope said he is interested in a greater focus on public safety, particularly traffic safety. He cited the intersection of Laurel Road and Empire Avenue as the most dangerous in the city in terms of traffic incidents. The East Cypress Road and Main Street intersection previously held that distinction, according to Pope.
The City Council will discuss these issues as well as various others soon as they prepare to write their strategic plan. Cities write strategic plans every two years to declare what concerns and other potential community improvements they plan to focus on. A key part of discovering those concerns is often input from residents during City Council meetings — something Pope hopes to see more of during his term.
