Residents rally for return to sports Mendoza ready for new role

by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer

BRENTWOOD An estimated 125 youth and adults converged on Brentwood’s City Park last week with a resounding message for state officials: let youth athletes return to competition. The rally, just one of about 140 held simultaneously across California, was intended to persuade state officials to review the data and reassess the guidelines for returning to play. California leaders have largely shut down in-state youth sports competitions for over 10 months, all while about 40 other states have returned to action, apparently without COVID19-related repercussions. “We are here for the California Department of Public Health and state officials to put pressure on them to let us play,” said local parent Rosy Ayers. see Rally page 18

ing throughout this process (of updating impact fees), we, as a district, have identified some concerns,” Helmick said as he addressed the board. “Some of those concerns within the Station 55 agreement in areas of which we do not feel that the agreement was being honored. Historically, in the past year – in the last, actually, six months – we had to send a series of letters to the city highlighting many of our concerns that we felt that we were not being able to satisfy at the staff level.” Helmick presented the proposed MOU to the district’s

BRENTWOOD When Jovita Mendoza noticed that a handful of recent community changes could threaten residents’ quality of life, she spoke up to influence decisions. Now as a councilmember, she’ll be making the decisions. The 20-year Brentwood resident, a customer analytics manager, has jumped into politics after nabbing the District 1 seat in a four-person race in November. “I felt my representation wasn’t doing enough for us as a city, and I thought I might not be great, but I could listen to residents a little bit more and try to reflect their point of view when I make votes – more than I felt was happening,” Mendoza said. The new role is a transition for the first-time politician. A wife, and mother to 13- and 17-year-old daughters, Mendoza said she only gained the figurative “bandwidth” to delve into city issues as her children grew older. She joined public opposition efforts to Measure L – a failed developer-backed initiative to move the city’s urban limit line to accommodate an 815-acre project of up to 2,400 residential units north of Balfour Road in late 2019. She later called to cancel a proposed exploratory oiland gas-drilling project about 1,000 feet from Brentwood. All the while, her public recognition continued to grow, which she feels gave her the mo-

Athena Ayers, Camryn Huston and Savannah Campos were among approximately 125 people who gathered to support ‘Let Them Play’ in City Park in Brentwood, Friday, Jan. 15. The rally was part of a statewide effort to urge the California Department of Public Health to revise its COVID-19 guidelines regarding high school sports and allow students to return to competition.

Oakley, fire district work to resolve issues “ What you’re seeing is the next reasonable

by Tony Kukulich Staff Writer

REGIONAL The East Contra Costa Fire Protection District (ECCFPD) and the City of Oakley are taking steps to resolve differences that came to light last fall and touched off a contentious exchange between the two entities in the days leading up to the November 2020 election. According to ECCFPD Fire Chief Brian Helmick, resolution of the issues addressed in a proposed memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the district and the city will clear the way for the city to update its

step for us to come into agreement on how to better work with each other, the district and the city.

Suspect arrested in Starbucks hostage attempt DISCOVERY BAY A suspect was arrested and booked into county jail following a hostage situation at the Discovery Bay Starbucks on Highway 4. On Jan. 18, around 6 a.m., Delta Station deputy sheriffs responded to multiple reports of a person pointing a gun in the Starbucks located on the 14800 block of Highway 4 in Discovery Bay. There were reports of several people inside the store at the time the suspect entered. One customer ran into one of the bathrooms, locked the door, and called Sheriff’s Dispatch. At the time, it was believed the employees were possibly hiding in a back office, but it was later discovered they had escaped out the backdoor shortly after the suspect entered the business. Deputies quickly set up a perimeter and made announcements for the suspect to surrender. The suspect was seen pacing back and forth inside. The Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Antioch Police

Innovation Center discussion continues by Aly Brown Staff Writer

BRENTWOOD The third installment of the town hall series for The Innovation Center @ Brentwood offered the council and planning commission a chance to weigh in with questions and concerns. The Jan. 13 workshop took no action but served as a means to bring the two municipal bodies into the discussion on ELS Architecture and Urban Design’s research and analysis, urban design principles and planning concepts. Similar to the two previous town hall meetings, Ryan Call, ELS principal and director of urban design, presented research and preliminary strategies for attracting developers and employers for what’s been dubbed the “future job hub” of Brentwood – a nearly 400-acre region zoned for development along Highway 4, between Old Sand Creek Road and Lone Tree Way. Currently, a collection of farms and retail development make up the site; high-density housing is planned to border the edges of the project area. The councilmembers and planning commissioners took advantage of the opportunity to ask questions on such topics as traffic impacts, means for mitigating homeless encampments, preserving the community’s character and heritage, and the fact that the land is currently owned by various individuals and

farming families. Commissioner Dirk Zeigler was the first to bring up the challenge sales negotiations would present. “Will you make a recommendation on how to address that?” Zeigler asked the ELS team. “Each property owner wants a special deal, but then you have a buyer who might need to negotiate with several landowners.” Call acknowledged that fact, while adding that the land segments are each rather large. “Some of the parcels are quite substantial … pretty clean parcel to develop for a single purchase,” Call added. “There is a portion of the site where the Maggiora and Stonebarger (properties) come together, and from a master planning perspective, we’re looking at locating a road there so that they have flexibility to develop independent of those deals with the landowners. “But what’s most important about your question and comment … is we have to make this work for the landowner. We have to make it work for the developer. We have to make it work for the employer that’s going to be aimed at going in. And it has to work for the community. And if it doesn’t work for anyone of those four, then the shovels don’t move.” One landowner, Pierina Maggiora, spoke on behalf of her family and other landowners when she noted that a meet-

“ No developer is going to come into the area and do speculative building at this time, unless landowners simply give the property away. I’m quite confident that I speak for everyone that that won’t happen.

”

Pierina Maggiora ing with the property owners has yet to be held. She indicated that The Streets of Brentwood has struggled since its inception and that the demand for office space is on the decline, especially given the impacts of COVID-19 and how it’s altered the workforce. “No developer is going to come into the area and do speculative building at this time, unless landowners simply give the property away. I’m quite confident that I speak for everyone that that won’t happen,” she said, noting development will need to be designed specific to a tenant. “So to the question of ‘are landowners being reasonable in price?’ the price today is far too low, which is precisely why we have all continued to hold

the property.” Councilmember Jovita Mendoza brought up the point that the current traffic backup at the Highway 4 on-ramp is already bad. She wanted to know if the highway would be widened. Call stated that since the location of The Innovation Center will offer a reverse commute, there is no suggestion at this time to widen the road. “I just don’t want to downplay the traffic that we have today,” Mendoza responded, adding that a report from a regional road agency rated Brentwood’s traffic with C’s, D’s and E’s. The report to which Mendoza referred was conducted by East Contra Costa Regional Fee and Financing Authority in January 2020. Some of the city’s most problematic thoroughfares involved Lone Tree Way, which earned B’s and C’s at certain intersections; and Balfour Road, which earned A’s, B’s, C’s, D’s and E’s at particular crossroads during different times of the day. The full report can be found at http://bit.ly/ thepressnet_TrafficReport. The development of the The Innovation Center @ Brentwood is expected to take shape over the next 30 to 50 years. Call’s presentations over the last three town hall meetings emphasized a need to develop incentives to bring employers to the city. For more information, visit https://www.innovatebrentwood.site.

Man stabbed in parking lot in stable condition by Tony Kukulich Staff Writer

BRENTWOOD BART police are investigating the stabbing of a homeless man at the Brentwood Park and Ride on the 4000 block of Walnut Boulevard in Brentwood around 4 p.m. Monday, Jan. 18. An incident report provided by the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District states that a male victim suffered a stab wound to the upper torso. First aid was administered by officers from the Brentwood Police Department until firefighters and paramedics arrived. The victim was flown by medical helicopter from the incident scene to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek. According to Jim Allison, BART manager of media relations, the victim was in stable condition, but still hospitalized as of Jan. 19. Because the incident took place on BART property, responsibility for the investigation rests with the BART Police Department. However, officers from the

Brentwood Police Department responded to the incident and were assisting with the investigation. Allison said the assault was not a random act of violence; the assailant and victim were known to one another. The attack was reportedly related to a dispute over money that occurred earlier in the day. Jason Velles Sr., a 46-year-old homeless man who authorities believe lives near the scene of the incident, has been named as a suspect in the assault. As of press time, Velles was not in custody. This is the second stabbing to take place in Brentwood since the start of the new year. On Jan. 9, Brian A. Bickman, 37, died of multiple stab wounds during an altercation at a home on the 800 block of Dainty Avenue. The assailant was identified by Brentwood police as the victim’s juvenile son. He was booked into juvenile hall in Martinez and charged with murder. To view a slideshow, visit www.thepress. net/multimedia/slideshows

January is a perfect time for getting organized. It is also a perfect time to review your estate planning documents to ensure that your documents still reflect your wishes. When reviewing your estate planning documents, you should consider the following: Was Your Trust Prepared Before 2012? If your Trust was prepared prior to 2012, it may not take into account the current tax laws. Many Trusts established before 2012, require that all trust assets be divided upon the death of the first spouse. This type of Trust is often referred to an “AB Trust” or “Bypass Trust”. In 2012, the tax laws changed significantly and 99% of families no longer need to divide all Trust assets following the death of the first spouse. If you have an “AB Trust” or “Bypass Trust”, it is critical that you amend your Trust prior to the incapacity of a spouse. Failing to remove this provision, can drastically increase the cost of the trust administration following the death of the first spouse. Are your Trustees and Beneficiaries Current? If a designated Successor Trustee has died or is no longer able to serve as your Trustee, you should amend your Trust to update this information. Also, make sure to review your beneficiaries and distribution scheme. Are your current distributions still appropriate? Do you have new grandchildren you wish to provide for? Is a beneficiary having emotional or drug problems, which might make a Special Needs Trust more appropriate for their distribution? Have You Funded Your Trust? Did you

Park district warns of toxic mushrooms

2021 NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION: REVIEW YOUR ESTATE PLANNING DOCUMENTS transfer your real property to your Trust? Did you transfer your brokerage accounts? Bank accounts? The terms of your Trust only control trust assets so you need to understand exactly what assets are in your Trust. Does Your Trust Have Incapacity Planning Provisions? Some older Trusts do not have any Incapacity Planning provisions. Specifically, your Trust should have provisions on how incapacity will be determined, how assets will be used during any period of incapacity and specific instructions on care. Do you want to stay at home as long as possible with in-home care? Do you want to live near a child or relative? If you don’t state your wishes, your Trustee will be forced to make these decisions on your behalf. Have You Talked to Your Children and Loved Ones? Do your children or loved ones know that you have an estate plan? Do they know where you store your original estate planning documents? Do they know who your attorney is if they need help? While these conversations can be difficult, they are very important to ensure your children understand your wishes. If you need help reviewing your Trust, we offer FREE 30 minute consultations in our Walnut Creek and Brentwood offices.

REGIONAL Mushrooms are an ecologically important part of our parklands and can look beautiful – but some of them contain dangerous toxins. Each year, mushrooms proliferate after the first sustained rains of the season. The death cap (Amanita phalloides) and western destroying angel (Amanita ocreata) are two of the world’s most toxic mushrooms, and both can be found in East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) during the rainy season. The death cap and western destroying angel mushrooms contain amatoxins, molecules that are deadly to many animals. Symptoms may not appear until up to 12 hours after consumption, beginning as severe gastrointestinal distress and progressing to liver and kidney failure if treatment is not sought immediately. EBRPD Naturalist Trent Pearce documents and teaches about fungi in the Bay Area. “Both of these mushrooms can be lethal to humans and pets if consumed,” Pearce warned. “They are mainly associated with oak trees and can be found growing anywhere oak roots are present.” The death cap is a medium to large mushroom that typically has a greenish-gray cap, white gills, a white ring around the stem, and a large white sac at the base of the stem. Although the death cap is mainly associated with oak trees, it has been found growing

with other hardwoods. It was accidentally introduced to North America on the roots of European cork oaks and is now slowly colonizing the West Coast. The death cap is not native to California. The western destroying angel is a medium to large mushroom that usually has a creamy white cap, white gills, a white ring around the stem that can disappear with age, and a thin white sac at the base. It fruits from late winter into spring. It is associated exclusively with oaks. Unlike the death cap, it is a native California mushroom. “The Park District urges the public to be safe and knowledgeable about toxic mushrooms when encountering them in the parks,” said EBRPD Public Information Supervisor Dave Mason. “Collecting any mushrooms in East Bay Regional Parks is not allowed.” The death cap and western destroying angel can also be dangerous for pets. “Dog owners should keep a close watch on their dogs during the winter months,” said Mason. “Pet owners should contact a veterinarian immediately if they suspect their pet may have eaten a toxic mushroom.” While the death cap and western destroying angel mushrooms are responsible for most cases of mushroom poisonings in California, deadly toxins can also be found in Galerina and Lepiota mushroom species, which also occur in the Bay Area.

5 MOVING PITFALLS

Correspondent

Feature: Deputy Cody Castelluccio

Agency: Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office As one of Discovery Bay’s resident deputies, Cody Castelluccio said he works to keep the local citizens safe. “I patrol around Discovery Bay, talk to the businesses, talk to the community, especially when I see kids,” Castelluccio said. “I also venture out to Bethel Island or Oakley when things in Discovery Bay are tame and try to arrest the criminals in other places too. What that does is prevent the known criminals coming into Discovery Bay and causing crime there.” Castelluccio is a five-year veteran of the sheriff’s office and wrapping up his first year on assignment as one of the town’s resident deputies. An East County native, he said he loves working in the community he knows so well, ensuring his hometown feels safe and secure. Before beginning his career in law enforcement, Castelluccio spent eight years in the army. During that time, he was stationed in Arizona and deployed to Afghanistan. Castelluccio said his normal run of projects has been cancelled by the restrictions put in place to slow the spread of

COVID-19. Without community events, parades and concerts to participate in or outreach programs like Rad Kids, his work has been a little less exciting this year. “I love working with the community and being able to make sure they feel safe and secure,” he said. “I especially like working with the kids, giving them stickers and seeing a smile on their faces.” Castelluccio’s work in preventing crime won him recognition from the department in the form of Deputy of the Month in July of last year. He is currently in school to earn a degree in criminal justice. He spends his free time working out and hopes to train for a full marathon once shelter-in-place restrictions allow gatherings again. He currently lives in Walnut Creek with his wife.

Moving is hard enough, but if you make any of the following 5 mistakes, it will be even harder! Hiring the wrong mover. Most movers are professional and ethical, but there are a few scam artists out there who quote you a low amount, but then your stuff disappears or gets broken, or they won’t unload the truck unless you pay more at the destination site. Be VERY careful if one mover is substantially cheaper than the others. Get recommendations from your agent, friends, and check Yelp.com and Angie’s List first. Accepting a moving quote over the phone, or online. You want someone in your home to take a good look at what you have. They charge more for large and/or heavy items and you don’t want unwelcome surprises later! Read the contract carefully and ask about what upcharges you could be faced with later if your items are bigger or heavier than they expected. It’s a good idea to get several written estimates. Packing too much stuff. This is a

GREAT time to thin some items out. Give some serious thought to whether you really need to bring everything with you. Trash items you don’t need. If some items are still valuable but you don’t plan to use them, donate those items to charity or give them to friends and relatives. Craigslist or Facebook marketplace can be a great way to sell or give items away quickly. Trying to book your move at the last second. Good moving companies can get booked out months in advance, especially over the summer. Call ahead and see how their schedule looks. Putting off packing. It will probably take longer than you expect, so start early! Get some things out of the way early. For example, if you are moving in the summer, pack up your winter clothes now.

Opinion EDITORIALS, LETTERS & COMMENTARY

Letters

Fair and balanced

Editor: The Press deserves credit for printing the accounts of Taylor Stromgren, the Heritage High School graduate who was an eyewitness to the Capitol riots on Jan. 6. It is my earnest hope The Press printed Mr. Stromgren’s remarks out of a journalistic responsibility for objectivity and fairness, and not simply because Mr. Stromgren is a local product who attended this historic event. While Mr. Stromgren’s comments seemed organically sincere, those of Rep. Jerry McNerney dutifully regurgitated the same politically motivated, left wing talking points his party has angrily belched for four years. Rep. McNerney says, “The U.S. Capitol has been stormed by mobs encouraged by President Trump,” and, “This brazen attempt to overthrow a free and fair election has been encouraged and inspired by Trump,” and, “This is sedition.” First, the “mobs” comprised a tiny fraction of those attending the president’s speech, and, second, they were neither encouraged nor incited by the president. Nothing the president said that day can be objectively construed as instructing or suggesting his supporters lay violent siege on the Capitol. In fact, the opposite is true. If the president’s words were so inflammatory, why haven’t we heard those words replayed endlessly on the major radio and TV networks, who would only be too glad to do so? Further, the FBI reportedly had warning of the attack a day earlier, as even CNN reported. So how could Mr. Trump incite something that was already planned? Rep. McNerney says, “(Trump) continues to espouse lies about the legitimacy of the election, further inciting his supporters…” According to polls, 83% of the 74 million who voted for Mr. Trump, or over 61 million Americans, believe Mr. Biden was elected fraudulently. Even 17% of Democrats believe so. It isn’t a wild eyed conspiracy theory — there is

to the

ample evidence of vote fraud, purposely and grievously ignored by major media. The courts never considered this evidence, choosing instead not to be involved. As in 1876, a special commission should have been appointed to address the valid concerns of at least 70 million Americans, all of whom Rep. McNerney apparently believes are liars.. Mike Spellman Brentwood

Thank you to Special Kids Foundation

Editor: I wanted to write and express my deep appreciation for the work of Lisa McBride and CiCi Migay and the Special Kids Foundation that they co-founded in 2006. As Mrs. McBride and Mrs. Migay announced the closing of their foundation in your Jan. 13 issue, I wanted to share one more enormous impact that they had in our community. The Brentwood Union School District was inspired by the all-abilities playground that the Special Kids Foundation helped to design and build at Veterans Park. Our school board prioritized converting all of our elementary school playgrounds to all-abilities playgrounds as a cornerstone of our Measure B Bond measure in 2016. As a result of the support of local voters, as well as the thoughtful consultation provided by the Special Kids Foundation, our elementary schools are the first in the state of California to provide playgrounds that are safe and accessible to all students on our campus. We have completed 15 of 16 playgrounds and will finalize the final playground this summer. We are deeply appreciative of the inspiration and support provided by Mrs. McBride and Mrs. Migay and know that our students in Brentwood will continue to benefit from their extraordinary efforts for years to come. Dana Eaton, Ed.D. Superintendent Brentwood Union School District

Editor More than a protest

Editor: The latest issue of Brentwood Press regularly referred to the events of Jan. 6 as “a protest.” Jan. 6 wasn’t a protest. It was terrorist attack incited by Trump and 147 Republican House and Senate members by repeating the lie that the election was stolen. They encouraged the violence we saw. Trump supporting Republicans chanted, “Kill Mike Pence!” as they stormed the Capitol in a siege. Some were armed and carried zip-tie handcuffs to take hostages. Others planted bombs and murdered a police officer. Republican politicians even aided and abetted the terrorists. Some actually participated in the attack. Others cheered on the invading, murderous mob. Another live tweeted Nancy Pelosi’s location to the terrorists who were looking for her. The Republican Party was once an honorable opposition party. But no longer. Today, it now stands for sedition, insurrection, and a terrorist coup against America. And there is no walking back from that. It’s no wonder why people are now quitting today’s Republican party. They don’t support the Republican’s terrorist attack against America. And they want nothing to do with what has become today’s traitorous, anti-American, Republican Party. Kevin Cunningham Brentwood

Understanding the difference

Editor: I just finished reading the article regarding “The Protest” that Mr. Stromgren attended in Washington, D.C. He was quoted as saying, “We are one, and at this point, regardless of Republiclan, Democrat, it’s now establishment versus the people, and it’s kind of cool that we are now all one.” I am curious who he thinks is “the Establishment” … is it the kid he might have gone to high school with and later ran for city council? Is it the college kid who was awarded the Rhodes Scholarship and later became president? Is it the kid who went to college and was able to develop his own business as he got older and later wanted to help the community so ran for governor? Who would Mr. Stromgren like to see be our leaders? Would he prefer his local grocery store checker, his J. C. Penny store manager, his dentist, or local bicycle shop owner? They are experts in their own field. Does that give them the experience to run a country? Are the folks who studied law, etc. and worked as a public servant most of their

lives, not considered people? What makes them “establishment”? Are they “established” in their positions, and that makes them “establishment”? I guess anyone who helps set up a system so you can vote and have a voice is considered “establishment”? Is that J.C. Penny store manager “establishment” because he organizes a system so you can buy what you want or even be hired so you have an income? What is the difference between “establishment” and the “people”? What does it mean the “establishment” now versus the “people”? Does that mean you do NOT want to vote? Does it mean you do NOT want your roads fixed? Does it mean you do NOT want to call the fire department when you need help? I guess just call the “people” and see who comes running? Adrean Harris Brentwood

A different perspective at the Capitol

Editor: Thanks for the attempt to provide two perspectives of the insurrection that happened at the Capitol on Jan. 6. You led with Taylor Stromgren’s account, which sounded like he had a lovely time with a bunch of like-minded people that thought pressuring our representatives to overthrow an election would be great. “A handful of people got out of control” . . . Yes, five people died, including Officer Sicknick, and dozens of other officers were hurt. He tells us that the day wasn’t accurately portrayed by the media. It is possible that Mr. Stromgren didn’t see everything, like a gallows that was constructed, or a policeman getting dragged down steps and pummeled with bats and fists and the American Flag. I know what I saw from video shot from the media and also from the rioters themselves. Does Mr. Stromgren ask me to disbelieve my own eyes? Mr. Stromgren says, “It’s now the establishment versus the people, and it’s kind of cool that we are now all one.” Who is the establishment, and who are the people? I like to think I am the people. I voted for Joe Biden. He got more votes, and he won 306 electoral votes — same as Trump in 2016. Now I see a mob of violent insurrectionists try to overturn the results. More than 60 judges ruled there was no evidence of fraud. Trump’s Attorney General also announced the election was fair. I wish we were unified, that we respected election results, and that there wasn’t an insurrection at the Capitol. Those five people would still be alive. But that isn’t the truth.

Every second of Keith’s life was full of unpredictable experiences. He knew every secret spot throughout California, and if he didn’t, he created one. From skating pools and surfing waves in his teens to racing motorcycles and 4-wheeling the Rubicon throughout his days, he was never one to question a challenge. Keith joined the IBEW in 1979 and worked all over the Bay Area. His work ethic was unsurpassed. Keith made everyone feel special and had a story to share even with strangers.

Brentwood man thunders on the court by Dawnmarie Fehr Correspondent

Rich “Thunder” Lopez is an old pro at pro ball and recently earned second place at the Professional Pickleball Association Tournament in Las Vegas. With a diverse career of professional sports behind him – including foosball where he earned his nickname ‘Thunder’ – the Brentwood resident has moved on to one of the country’s fastest growing racquet sport: pickleball. “I transitioned from racquetball to pickleball,” the 51-year-old said. “I grew up playing soccer and baseball; played a lot of ping pong as a kid, lettered in badminton. You never know how your past shapes you, and then all of a sudden, at the age of 47, I started playing pickleball.” Lopez had been playing professional racquetball, but an injury limited his ability to swing a racquet with enough force to send the heavy rubber ball across the court. When a friend introduced him to pickleball – a game with a smaller court and lighter balls – he instantly fell in love. “I love a couple things about pickleball,” Lopez said of his new favorite sport. “I love the challenge of competition. I love the fitness aspect of it, and that it’s for all ages and fitness levels. And the community

Pickleball pro Rich Lopez practices on a private court in Brentwood. Lopez recently earned a second-place finish at the Professional Pickleball Association Tournament in Las Vegas. of pickleball reminds me a lot of what I had in racquetball.” At the tournament in Las Vegas, Lopez paired up with former tennis champion Steve Scurfield for the men’s doubles. Scurfield met Lopez on the court in Concord two years ago and said he enjoys playing with and against Lopez.

This week in Press sports’ history In 2016, Freedom High School soccer stars Alexis Robbins and Alyssa Schneider signed their letters of intent to attend Rocky Mountain College in Billings, Montana. As near-lifelong friends, it’s only fitting the dynamic duo were headed to the same college and planned to room together. The pair, who were both born on Jan. 11, 1998, have known each other since kindergarten and have been friends since Press file photo fourth grade. They played to- Alexis Robbins and Alyssa Schneider signed their letters of gether on the under-11 intent to attend Rocky Mountain College in 2016. to under-15 teams of the MPACT Soccer Club, coached by Paul together and decided they’d call it home Mc Ilveney, and also for the Diablo FC for the next four years. “We are excited about being in a new in Concord. As luck would have it, they area,” Schneider said at the time. both joined the Freedom High soccer “We are also excited about being toteam as freshman. The pair visited the Billings campus gether,” added Robbins.

“He has incredible hands,” Scurfield said of Lopez’s game. “He’s pretty smart, so I know what to expect and that’s important in doubles . . . I can get really emotional on the court, but Rich is more level and calm. He’s like the mayor, everyone loves him. Off the court, he talks, and I’m more quiet.”

During the event, Lopez and Scurfield started out well, earning a spot in the winners’ bracket. A few slips in the finals cost them first place and they ended with second overall. The pair will face off next month when they travel to Arizona to compete in the southwest regional championships. Scurfield admitted he intends to rattle Lopez by commenting on his plays during the game. Though he’s only been playing for four years, Lopez has already made a name for himself in the pickleball world. He said his family teased him for succeeding at obscure sports like foosball and pickleball, but he loves the strategy involved and has fun playing. He is sponsored by Gearbox Sports and uses his platform to share his love of Christ. He will soon be helping at-risk youth to engage in fitness activities through a partnership with Royal Family KIDS. Lopez has lived in East County for over 20 years. He and his wife, Colette, have seven children and Lopez said he loves the area. “I love the community of people here,” he said. “It has that small town feel, kind of like a ‘Cheers’ thing, where everybody knows your name.” Lopez is currently available for pickleball lessons.

he comes across as very logical, strategic and someone with common sense, so I think he will bring a lot to the table.” Before presenting any other future plans, Callahan is waiting to see what committee assignments he receives. He hopes to continue working to maintain and support the town’s aging water and wastewater infrastructure, provide new town offices that comply with state regulations and support the town to keep it the wonderful place it already is. Between his public duties for the CSD board and running his ice cream shop, Callahan still has his 9 to 5 job managing technology solutions for an out-of-state hedge fund. “I love the town, and I love all the people here,” he said. “I would do anything that I possibly could to make all of our friends’ lives a little better.”

IS YOUR CAR READY FOR WINTER?

Michael Callahan, owner of Coffee and Cones in Discovery Bay was recently sworn in as a new member of the town’s Community Services District.

DISCOVERY BAY Michael Callahan was sworn in last month as one of the town’s two new Community Services District (CSD) directors. Callahan fell in love with Discovery Bay when he and his wife, Angel, moved here eight years ago to be near family. They have enjoyed being part of the local community and, in 2016, opened the popular Callahan’s Coffee and Cones, an ice cream and coffee shop on the east side of town. Last year, when he saw an opportunity to become more involved in local government, Callahan jumped at it, throwing his name in the hat with five other candidates competing for two seats on the CSD board. “It was my first campaign, so I don’t know what I should have expected, but it went as well as I would have hoped,” Callahan said. “It was very weird to campaign in COVID; that changed a lot of things.” Callahan paired up to run with Jill Snowden, but when the votes were counted, Snowden did not make the cut, coming in third place. Callahan said he looks forward to working with Carolyn Graham, who took the other open seat, but hopes Snowden continues her quest to represent her community. Callahan has been learning the ropes of his new position and touring town facilities as he prepares to bring his own ideas to the table. He hopes to work on improving the town’s often criticized communication style. Though

he feels the town is on the right track, he wants to support some improvements. “It’s not that the town doesn’t have good communication; it’s that the town doesn’t necessarily communicate in the way the residents want,” Callahan specified. “I think the people in the town want to consume information in a different way than we provided that information as a town. That causes frustration and mistrust.” He noted he has no specific ideas for improving or changing communication right now, as he is presently learning about the laws governing all forms of communication between the town and its residents. Once he has familiarized himself with the guidelines, he plans to present some ideas to the board. “That’s one thing I learned,” he admitted. “As a resident, I didn’t necessarily understand all the restrictions that are in place to make sure that communication is fair and available to everyone. You have to be very careful that you communicate in a way that is consistent with law.” CSD Director Bryon Gutow joined the board two years ago and said he was happy to see Callahan elected. The two met through the town’s chamber of commerce when Callahan opened his store and have interacted on a professional level. Gutow stated he appreciated Callahan’s community support in the past. “Michael has supported the Lions Club during all the Summer Jam concerts. He’s been an active vendor with his ice cream truck,” Gutow said. “I’m very impressed with him. In the conversations I have had with him,

Street Address or other common designation of real property: 110 Campbell Avenue, Antioch, CA 94509 A.P.N.: 067-328-007 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $ 247,571.24.Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt.

The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/ MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/ TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2019-02247-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction, if conducted after January 1, 2021, pursu-

ant 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 (866)-960-8299, or visit this internet website http://www. altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case 2019-02247-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Rally

from page 1

Masked and socially distant rally participants, representing at least four East County high schools and at least seven youth sports organizations, held up signs and cheered as students and parents publicly lobbied for change and shared how the current state of affairs is affecting their well-being. With Contra Costa County in the COVID-19 widespread purple tier, only outdoor low-contact sports are permitted, which includes golf, tennis and track and field. Not on the list are popular youth sports like baseball, football, soccer, basketball and water polo. “Sports have been used as a medium to escape the stressors of life, build longlasting friendships and open opportunities for later in life,” said Liberty student Stephen August. “For many students, sports is their way to get away from the things that may be going on in their lives. For me, football has been a way to release my frustration and has been used as a safe space for me to vent. Due to the restrictions being placed, that safe space has been stripped away.” The sting of the sidelines is compounded by data compiled outside California that seem to show that outdoor sports are safe for kids and coaches, rally organizers said. About 29,000 Connecticut high school students participated in 33,000 practices and games, resulting in only seven COVID-19 cases. Similarly, a University of Wisconsin study found that 16,000 practices and

mentum to win the election. Two of the other candidates vying for the seat included incumbent Claudette Staton and a former Brentwood mayor, Brian Swisher. “I’ve been around for a bit, and people probably saw my name on Nextdoor and Facebook. We were downtown during the summer, handing out information regarding Measure L. I think that helped,” Mendoza said. “I have been involved. It wasn’t just, ‘Hey, I want to do this.’” Now officially a city leader, Mendoza said some of her top priorities will include shaping the future of the area’s fire service; ensuring that future developers are accountable to the city’s general plan and residents’ best interests; beefing up the police department if financially possible; and addressing the homeless population.

All funds will go to the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano County where they will provide meals for families. Every $1 donated equates to two meals. To donate, visit https://give. foodbankccs.org/team/337232. For more information, contact johnsonolivia327@gmail.com.

4,000 games involving 30,000 student athletes yielded only one case that could be tracked back to sports. Rally attendees said that what is arguably even more significant is the demonstrated physical and mental toll on competition-starved athletes. “I want to go back to swimming. I miss it. It’s very important to me because it helps us to get dopamine and serotonin,” said Heritage swimmer Bella Lannoo. “It’s scientifically proven that people who exercise are happier.” Liberty baseball player Josiah Wallace expressed similar sentiments. “It means a lot because it gets that good feeling going to play baseball with family, with your teammates. It’s a high school experience,” he said. Participants, who also marched to Brentwood Boulevard for a brief sidewalk demonstration, received instructions on how to contact government representatives to suggest changes, but only time will tell if changes will happen. At least one student, Freedom football player Ryan Willmes, is hopeful. “I think it will make a change,” he said. “I think it’s going to be a domino effect. I think this is what will push us to play.” For more information on the statewide movement to restart competitions, visit playca.org For complete California Department of Public Health sports guidance, visit https://bit.ly/35Wh7LU.

Additional fire-related funds could also materialize from the recently passed Measure X, a countywide 0.5% sales tax. As those potential changes play out, the council must also determine if currently on-hold plans to increase the police force can proceed, Mendoza said. “(The council) had already approved the fifth beat, which everyone was excited about, but with COVID, we didn’t know where the numbers would go,” Mendoza said. As Mendoza gears up to lead the city into the future, residents this week said they are excited about the council’s new leadership, which also includes District 3

board of directors during the Jan. 13 board meeting along with a request for the authority to negotiate the agreement with the city. Among the key provisions in it are that the district will waive claims that the city violated the Station 55 agreement, and the city will transfer a 1.07-acre property to the district. Located northeast of Live Oak Avenue and Neroly Road the property is a potential site for the future construction of Station 57. In early October 2020, the board sent a 10-page letter to representatives of the City of Oakley, outlining a broad range of concerns regarding development practices including: the city’s practice of waiving or discounting developer impact fees; the city’s reluctance to require the new developments join community facilities districts (CFD); and the city’s failure to abide by the Station 55 Agreement – a contract between the district and the city created to ensure the construction of a fire station near the entrance to the Summer Lake development necessitated after developer Shea Homes backed out of its obligation to do so. “The city’s practice of permitting additional development without ensuring that new development generates sufficient capital and operating revenue to mitigate the costs of increased demand for fire and medical emergency response and fire prevention services hinders the district’s ability to provide such services to the district’s 128,000 residents,” wrote Oftedal in the letter dated Oct. 8. Several days after receiving the letter, former Mayor Kevin Romick took to social media to contest its assertions, and the city responded with its own letter. After the district issued a second letter, both sides resolved to begin negotiations seeking resolution on the disputed points. After much deliberation, the board did approve Helmick’s request with one major change. “My concern is that the resolution that we were asked to pass specifically said that the board was going to waive all claims under the Station 55 agreement,” said Director Adam Langro. “What I’ve found in my time here is that having direct language that can’t be misinterpreted is very important. So I wanted to be very

In my opinion, the board shouldn’t waive all claims. We should just waive the ones we know are there and we’re sure that we want to waive.” Final negotiations between Oakley and the district are ongoing. The Oakley City Council is expected to consider approval of the MOU during the Feb. 9 meeting. A public hearing for the adoption of the district’s updated impact fees is expected to be scheduled for the same meeting. The district hopes approval will come during the Feb. 23 meeting. City Manager Bryan Montgomery and Mayor Sue Higgins declined to comment on this story until the matter comes in front of council. “The actions taken at the board meeting are very clear behaviors showing that we’re heading in the right direction,” Helmick said. “What you’re seeing is the next reasonable step for us to come into agreement on how to better work with each other, the district and the city. The MOU is a necessity to solidify and put to bed many of the historical issues that we need to address. We are clearly moving in the right direction.” Brentwood City Council,” said resident Robert Juracich. “In such a short amount of time they have demonstrated that they listen to their constituents and value community input when making decisions. They bring a new, fresh perspective to the council that the city has been missing for quite some time. Additionally, I really like that their campaigns were not funded by special interests and developers. This shows me that their votes cannot be bought and their decisions will be made based on community input and research, not campaign contributions.” For her part, Mendoza said she loves hearing from the public and encourages residents to reach out to city leaders or staff whenever needed. “That is what we are here to do: serve the community,” she said.
