Brentwood blocks oil drilling – for now
Gibson is Officer of the Year
by Jake Menez
Correspondent
BRENTWOOD The City Council took its first step toward enacting a permanent ban on oil drilling within city limits with a recent unanimous vote to implement a moratorium on drilling to help protect area residents’ health. A moratorium would temporarily halt oil and gas drilling from occurring 3,200 feet from “sensitive receptor” areas while staff worked on drafting a permanent ban of the project. Sensitive receptor areas are places such as schools, hospitals and nursing homes that the Environmental Protection Agency identifies as areas whose occupants are more susceptible to harm from pollutants. see Drilling page 18

Learning garden blossoms at Oakley school Staff Writer
OAKLEY When Melissa Mastrangelo, an instructional paraprofessional (aide), first dreamed of creating a school garden at O’Hara Park Middle School in Oakley, she never could have imagined the community support that would turn her dream into reality. A chance meeting over a bucket of irises led Mastrangelo and Bill Horn, a senior vice president of landscape company Terracare Associates, to a conversation about the vision for the project. Mastrangelo already had a
small courtyard plot of land set aside for the school garden. But when Horn came to view the location, he knew that they could go bigger. He was drawn to a messy, overgrown corner of the school’s property, a space that measured about 10,000 square feet. After putting together sketches and determining which plants and trees would work best for the space, he met with Mastrangelo and principal at the time Colleen Creswell, to present the plans. “This is great!” said Mastrangelo. “It is far beyond any expectations we could have had.” see Garden page 18

In honor of Earth Day, 3 Catalpa trees were donated to provide shade for some south-facing classrooms at O’Hara Park Middle School in Oakley. This is part of an ongoing partnership between the school and Terracare, which helps students learn planting and gardening skills.

BYRON The Byron Union School District has begun its search for a new leader as it says goodbye to Superintendent Dr. Reyes Gauna this summer. Gauna has been part of the Byron district since July of 2019, when he replaced former Superintendent Debbie Gold. He will start work as superintendent of the Patterson Pass Joint Unified School District – a comprehensive kindergarten-12 district – in Patterson Pass, Calif. on July 1. “I wasn’t pushed out,” Gauna said. “I just missed the high school piece, and I was looking for something I could make my home and make it my family, similar to what I have here in Byron. I love the students and staff here and the parents and the community. It’s been an amazing experience here.” Gauna said he is still committed to the district until he leaves, and intended to offer his help to his successor’s process for joining the district leadership. The Contra Costa County Office of Education posted the job on EdJoin – an online education job board – and in administrative publications in an effort to gather a diverse pool of candidates.

Byron trumpets 2021 classified employees of the year by Dawnmarie Fehr Correspondent
BYRON The Byron Union School District announced its 2021 Classified Staff of the Year. The three women – technology assistant Michelle Pereira, instructional aide Lori Weeden and custodian Laura Yerena – were honored at the Discovery Bay State of the Town last month alongside the district’s teachers of the year. Barbara Gonzales serves as the Classified Employee of the Year chair and oversaw the selection process. She said presenting these awards is her favorite part of being on the committee. “I have had the pleasure of working with all three of our 2021 Classified award winners over the years,” Gonzales said. “They are all hard working, professional, conscientious and dedicated. However, I think the most important quality that they all share is that no matter how many times in a day that they are called upon to handle a situation, they greet you with a smile and a positive ‘can do’ attitude. They are all such a pleasure to work with.” The honored employees are selected via peer nominations, then voting. Gonzales said all permanent staff within the district may nominate eligible employees. Each of the three district school sites then selects its classified employee of the year through voting. Michelle Pereira Pereira is part of Excelsior Middle School’s team. She has been in the district for 15 years and served in different capacities. A Discovery Bay resident, Pereira and her husband, Robert, raised two children, both of whom went through the Byron district. Gonzales said Pereira is known for her hard work helping students and staff cope with ever-changing technology needs. She enjoys gardening, wine tasting and spending time with her family.“As
PEREIRA
WEEDEN
our go-to tech person, Michelle is always ready to help,” said Excelsior Principal Lem Vergara. “She is professional, conscientious and is always on the ball.” Lori Weeden Weeden works at Discovery Bay Elementary as an instructional aide and campus supervisor. She also lives in Discovery Bay where she raised four children. She said her favorite part of her job is seeing the smiles on students’ faces and knowing she has been part of their academic growth. “Lori is such an asset for our students,” said Discovery Bay Principal Erika Parlog. “She treats them as her own, showing respect, care and concern for each child that she encounters and works with. She exemplifies what a Classified Staff Member should be.”
YERENA
Laura Yerena Yerena is Timber Point Elementary’s employee of the year. As a child, Yerena attended Discovery Bay Elementary and Excelsior Middle School. She has worked for the district for seven years, and said her mother and brother are district employees as well. Gonzales said Yerena is known for her helpfulness, patience and friendly attitude. She said her favorite part of her job is talking to students during lunch. She enjoys her downtime and spending time with her dog, Panda. “Laura is the heart and soul of Timber Point,” said Timber Point Principal Susan Evans. “She is always ready to help wherever she is needed. Her hard work and extra effort keeps our campus clean and safe.”

County Fair is back; tickets now on sale REGIONAL The Contra Costa County Fair is back at Event Park in downtown Antioch, this year scheduled for May 12-15 at Event Park, 1201 West 10th St. Fair hours are noon to 9:30 p.m. each day. The theme for this, the 86th year of the fair, is “Cows, Corn Dogs, and Carnival Rides, oh my!’ “The staff came up with this theme, and just thought it would be fun to do a Wizard of OZ based theme,” said fair Executive Director Joe Brengle via email. The fair returns after a two-year hiatus because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Brengle said the fair is following county and state COVID-19 safety protocols. “We have no requirements of Fairgoers to show proof of vaccine/negative test or wear a face mask,” he said.
“We are very excited that we can provide a full fair with all the normal fair attractions for the community after being closed for 2 years. We are always striving to bring new exhibits and attractions to each year’s fair.” Presale began April 22, and tickets can be purchased at the Fair office, or online at www.contracostafair.com. For ticket information, call 925-757-4400 or visit https://contracostafair.com/ Brengle said he hopes for 30,000 to 35,000 fairgoers this year. “Attendance has gone up and down over the years, “ he said. “In the past 5 years, the highest attendance was 2018, with 35,339 fairgoers.” He also said he is proudest of being “able to keep door open, and that we are able to have a fair this year ... at a reasonable price. Fairs in general are all doing
the same thing. Some are able to offer bigger name entertainment, or feature attractions then others, but all trying to do the same thing for the community they service.” He said most fairgoers come from the Pittsburg to Brentwood area, and not the western boundary of the county, including the I-680 corridor from San Ramon north to Pleasant Hill. “We do not keep a formal tracking of were fairgoers come from, but we do know that we have fairgoers come from all cities of the county as well as west side of Solano County,” Brengle said. “We do advertise throughout the entire county but put a larger emphasis on a 25-mile radius of the fair.” For a complete schedule of events and a map of the fair, see the wrap on the front of this newspaper.
East Bay park district: Beware of rattlesnakes bite is not venomous. Sometimes gopher snakes will vibrate their tails in dry brush and leaves to mimic a rattlesnake’s rattle. Information panels at most park district trailheads have posters illustrating the differences between the two snakes. If you or a companion is bitten by a rattlesnake, here are some first aid recommendations: Remain calm and move beyond the snake’s striking distance. Remove jewelry and tight clothing before the affected area starts to swell. Position the victim, if pos-

sible, so that the bite is at or below the level of the heart. Clean the wound, but don’t flush it with water. Cover it with a clean, dry dressing. Minimize the victim’s movement. If possible, carry a victim who must be transported, or have him or her walk slowly. The best first aid for a rattlesnake bite is to get the victim to a hospital as soon as possible for anti-venom treatment. First aid procedures such as cutting and suction have long been discredited. The emergency phone number within the regional parks is 510-881-1121. Using 9-1-1 works too, although it is routed through the California Highway Patrol, so there can be a delay. The regional park website, www.ebparks.org, has information about rattlesnakes at www.ebparks.org/safety/wildlife-encounters If you want to see a live rattlesnake under safe conditions, there are specimens in several park district visitor centers. – Ned MacKay East Bay Regional Park District

then get bitten. The resulting veterinary bill will be expensive. So if you see a snake, or a sighting is reported, put your dog on leash. If you see a rattlesnake in a parking lot, picnic area, or other locale with lots of people around, alert the park staff. A ranger will relocate the snake to an area safer for both snake and people. The rangers have snake tongs designed for this purpose. Gopher snakes look a lot like rattlesnakes. They can bite, too, although their

Now that warm weather has made them more active, watch for rattlesnakes. Rattlesnakes are an important part of the Bay Area environment, are common in the regional parks and other Bay Area open space, and keep the rodent population in balance. Snakes regulate their body temperature by moving back and forth between sun and shade. With reasonable precautions and awareness of our surroundings, we can coexist with them safely. In general, the best way to avoid rattlers is to stay on official trails and refrain from taking shortcuts through tall grass and brush. When you stop to rest, avoid the rock piles, logs and tall grass that are snake habitat. Rattlesnakes are not aggressive. They will avoid us if at all possible; we’re much larger than the small rodents and lizards that are their usual diet. They may give a warning rattle if we pass too closely. If you see one, give it lots of room and an avenue of escape. And, of course, don’t try to pick up or otherwise disturb the snake. Dogs can be problematic. They may investigate by running right up to a snake and

WHAT TO TELL YOUR SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE OR EXECUTOR
by Joan Grimes, Esq.
After people have completed their Estate Plan, they often ask what they are should do next. The most important thing to do next is to tell your Successor Trustee about the Estate Plan and give them a copy of the Plan. In addition, you should be giving your Successor Trustee the following information: 1. Emergency Contact information: who should they contact first with names, addresses and phone numbers 2. Emergency Instructions: who will take care of children, parents. Copies of medical insurance, driver’s license and spare key to house and car. 3. Location of Estate Planning documents: Trust, Will, Healthcare Directives, Powers of Attorney. 4. Location of Important Documents: including car registration, life insurance policies, stock certificates, safe deposit key. 5. Completed Estate Planning Worksheet: including information regarding all assets including bank account numbers, brokerage accounts, insurance policies, inventory of jewelry and valuable collections 6. Benefits: a complete inventory of long term care insurance, pension rights, death benefits or other residual benefits which you, your survivor or beneficiaries are entitled. Leave instructions on how they can claim benefits and list each of the beneficiaries on the accounts.
7. Income and Expenses: short description of monthly and annual income and expenses. Leave list of expenses being paid automatically and be such to indicate when Required Minimum Distributions (RMD) are being taken, if applicable. If you are not having your RMD’s automatically deposited into your account, I strongly encourage you to have it set up as an auto deposit. The penalty for failure to take a RMD is 50%. The above information should be provided to your Successor Trustee and a copy kept in the front of your Estate Planning Binder. Be sure to check and update this information at least once a year or as things change in your life. When you check and update this information, you should also be checking the beneficiaries on an IRA or 401k accounts. If you have questions about estate plan or need help reviewing your Trust, we offer FREE 30 minute consultations in our Walnut Creek and Brentwood offices. This article provides only general legal information and not specific legal advice. The information contained is not a substitute for a personal consultation with an attorney.

to the
Editor: Books are portals into other worlds and even into the greatest minds to ever exist. Students should have the goal to take inspiration from the great minds in
order to better themselves. Books will give people open minds and rethink the way they think. That’s why high school seniors should have to complete a list of books they have read throughout high school with a goal of 40-50 books over the four years. This does not mean that the genre of literature should be classics, it can be science-fiction, fantasy, romance, or horror. Any type of book benefits a reader in some way or another. A lot of times, students are opposed to reading due to the belief that the reading counts only if it was written long ago by some old white guy. That is not the case. In fact, you don’t have to even be physically reading a book, even listening to an audiobook can benefit students. According to an Australian Christian College study, “Students who read independently have greater reading comprehension, verbal fluency and general knowledge than those who do not. They become better readers, score higher on achievement tests in all subject areas, and have greater content knowledge than their non-reading peers.” This shows all the benefits that can continue with reading. Many people will say that some students do not have the resources or money to spend on books. Others might say that there is no time to read with all the other homework given. This is why libraries should be made even more available at school, and even online books should be available with no cost. In English class, students could be given time to read their book of choice. All in all, reading is an amazing benefit that could help many students as well as improve overall school learning.

LETTERS POLICY
Editor: Every 20 years or so, there is a new craze in the marketplace: tulips, penny stocks, or technology to name a few. Cryptocurrency certainly has its quirks. Pictures of monkeys selling for more than the price of a house and Elon Musk talking about Doge coins is enough to confuse the average investor. These things make the crypto scene seem like a get-richquick scheme that the younger generation has foolishly bought into. But the technology itself is actually very important. For too long, people have relied on the central banking authorities to keep track of an individual’s money and protect the user from bad actors. But what if the bank is the bad actor? If the 2008 financial crisis taught us anything it’s that the banks do not have our best interests in mind. Blockchain technology fundamentally puts the power of money back into the hands of the people. By utilizing a digital public ledger, secure and private transactions between parties do not require the involvement of a third party. No entity can seize the users funds as the user has complete monetary autonomy. The technology may be new and confusing to many people, but new frontiers have always been a scary place. Blockchain technology promises to digitize the American Dream, and I, for one, am excited to see where it takes us. Wes Wade Oakley

Editor Obtaining birth control needs to be easier
Editor: Nearly half of pregnancies are unwanted, but many of these can be prevented with the sale of over-thecounter hormonal birth control. Barriers towards getting birth control is one of the main reasons for inconsistent or nonuse of contraception. A survey of 1,385 women showed that 68% tried to get a birth control prescription, and 29% of those had problems accessing the prescription or refills because of problems such as cost barriers, not having a physician or clinic, or challenges in getting an appointment. A lack of access to proper contraception such as the pill, which is 99% effective, leads to unplanned pregnancies, which further leads to health risks among mother and child such as low birth weight, increased chance of postpartum depression, and physical as well as psychological harm. In 2011, 45% of pregnancies in the U.S. were unintended. These pregnancies were highest amongst women with a low income who had trouble accessing birth control pills. If a lack of income or insurance is the reason for birth control pills to be accessible, the economic toll a child would take on a family would be much more extreme. Some healthcare providers may say that the sale of over-the-counter birth control may lead to changes in the patient-provider relationship, causing a loss of patients and revenue. However, this is an invalid argument because it has nothing to do with the actual issue but is just about greed and making a profit from people’s precautionary measures. Unwanted pregnancies lead to mental, physical, and economic stress on mothers and their children. A result of a lack of being able to get birth control no matter the reason, many women end up pregnant with a child they are unprepared for or do not want, which could be more highly prevented if hormonal birth control was sold over the counter. Annabelle Smith Brentwood
Hate speech must end
Editor: The continuing hate speech (including renewed calls for mass violence and genocide), discriminatory policies, dehumanization, harassment, and violence targeting Muslims have reached dangerous levels over the past three weeks. During the Hindu festival of Ram Navmi and Hanuman Jayanti, the Hindu extremists rampaged through Muslim neighborhood areas in at least 8 Indian
states. They attacked Muslims, their families, homes, businesses, and places of worship. The exact details about the loss of lives and property are unknown, as most affected by violence areas continue to be under strict curfew or other arbitrary restrictions by the state. On Sunday, Ibris Ahmed, 28, who went missing during the Hindu extremist violence in Madhya Pradesh’s Khargone, was found dead in a hospital. The Hindu supremacist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which rules most of the violence-affected states, instead of taking action against the Hindu extremists, is actively targeting the Muslim victims through arbitrary arrests, bulldozing houses and shops by falsely accusing them of participating in the violence. We strongly condemn this largescale, well-orchestrated nationwide violence against Muslims and express our deepest concerns that it has the potential to turn into a full-blown Muslim and Christian genocide in the coming months. Mohammad Raza Campbell
Be careful with caffeine
Editor: As more and more people consume coffee daily, many become addicted to it. “Americans consume over 400 million cups of coffee per day making the United States one of the leading consumers of coffees in the world,” according to the National Coffee Association and The Specialty Coffee Association of America. According to brandongaille.com, a website for small business and marketing advice, “At least 68 million Americans will drink at least 3 cups of coffee every day. About 75% of those who regularly consume caffeine are addicted to it.” While there are statistics that prove that you can get addicted, many people still believe that being addicted is not a bad thing. People can actually get addicted to coffee because your body can get used to caffeine. Caffeine is a stimulant drug that stimulates your brain and nervous system. It also speeds up the messages traveling between the body and brain. Some solutions that people could do to help addiction is to alternate to decaf rather than regular. It could be harder but doing it slowly could help. Another solution could be to reduce caffeine consumption. If reduced, it could help many people’s habits. Overall, there are many ways to prove that caffeine addiction is real, as well as solutions to help with it. Renee Bedard Brentwood

Grandfather of Heritage football player inspires effort to help children in need by Dawnmarie Fehr
Bruno Argenal (right), a 2020 Heritage High graduate, recently launched Kaps 4 Kiddos, a charity project dedicated to collecting donations of hats and socks for underprivileged children.
Correspondent
Bruno Argenal is using his status as a college athlete to give back to his community. The 20-year-old Antioch native graduated from Heritage High School in 2020 and went on to play football for Mercyhurst College in Pennsylvania. Last summer, he founded Kaps 4 Kiddos, a charity project geared toward getting kids in need something fun and something useful. “Kaps 4 Kiddos is about collecting donations of hats and socks for underprivileged and homeless kids,” Argenal said. “I started this initiative as a way to give back to the community, which I am very proud to be a part of. Using my platform as a college football player and my network with other college athletes and universities across the country, I have been able to collect donations of hats and socks from all over to give out to kids in need here in the Bay Area.” Argenal was inspired to start his charity by the memory of his grandfather and his own childhood struggles.

He said he is grateful to be where he is today and would not have reached his dream of playing college football if it weren’t for people helping him, so he came up with a plan to gather baseball caps and socks and donate them to kids at Bay Area shelters.
“My grandfather was passionate about helping others and those in need,” Argenal said. “I wanted to come up with a way to help kids in need in a way that was special to see Bruno page 11

2019 IMCA Sport Modified champion Tommy Fraser (number 12) made a late move to score the victory.
Antioch native wins at Speedway event Antioch native Tommy Fraser won the 20-lap International Motor Contest Association Sport Modified Main Event on April 23 at Antioch Speedway. The 2019 champion made his move as they raced to the white flag and brought home the victory. More than 80 drivers competed in the four-division program. Nick Zapatero charged into the lead at the start, followed by Fraser and Mark Garner. They ran that way for several laps before a yellow flag waved for a Turn 4 tangle involving Chuck Golden, Jason Ryan Jr., Brianna Troen and Nick Caughman Jr. Zapatero led Fraser and
KC Keller on the restart. Zapatero was doing a good job of leading the way, but he didn’t have a good Lap 18. A lap later, Zapatero pushed a little bit in Turn 3, and Fraser went down low in Turn 4 to grab the lead. Zapatero ended up spinning, and Fraser won ahead of Keller, Andrew Pearce, Garner and Jonathan Hagio. Daniel Whitley picked up the win in the 20-lap Wingless Spec Sprint Main Event. The Hunt Series Rookie of the Year was piloting a car owned by Ted Finkenbinder, who also owns the thirdplace car of Jacob Tuttle.

he Freedom High School stunt cheer team recently wrapped up its third Bay Valley Athletic League title. The squad was undefeated in league competition. Unlike traditional competitive cheer, which includes all aspects of cheerleading – crowd cheers, dance, jumps, tumbling and stunts – stunt cheer emphasizes head-to-head competition. Each team performs the same material with the same music. The fourquarter stunt contests incorporate many elements of other traditional high school sports. The games open with a coin flip, and the winning squad chooses one of six partner stunt routines it would like to perform alongside its opponent. Impartial officials award a point to the team that performs the best routine. That gives the winning squad a chance to choose the second-quarter performance, which incorporates pyramids and basket tosses. The same rules apply to the third and fourth quarters, which highlight jumps, tumbling and a team routine.

me and correlates to what I do as a student athlete and what my grandfather was as a baseball player, so that’s why I chose baseball caps. I chose socks because those are one of the most requested items by homeless people and they are received the least.” Argenal reached out to his following on Instagram and to other colleges’ athletics programs and received donations of hats and socks from schools all over the country. He also received donations from friends, family and the Antioch community.

With the majority of the boys 14U team having just competed in the 12U match, fatigue set in during the boys match against Sonoma, helping lead Sonoma to their 14-3 win.

“It was an amazing experience to see so many people I knew and had just met from all over the country come together for this,” Argenal said. “But the biggest, mind-blowing feeling was seeing the kids’ faces when giving them the hats, and just how bright their eyes were when they came out to meet me.” Last month, while home on spring break, he donated more than 50 packages, each containing a baseball cap, a pair of socks, and some snacks.

Administrator Courtney Davis said Argenal’s visit was a great experience for the kids. “Bruno came out and met with the children and really showed his heart for this service,” Davis said. “We were so appreciative of him, and the children were so excited. The hats and treats were fun and the socks filled a real need for us.” Argenal is finishing his sophomore year at Mercyhurst. He hopes his charity motivates others to get involved in giving back.

Man hospitalized after stabbing during fight on Bethel Island by Meslissa van Ruiten Staff Writer
One man was hospitalized after being stabbed during an altercation on Windsweep Road on Bethel Island shortly before 5:30 p.m., Friday, April 22. The unidentified victim was reported to have minor injuries, and the Contra Costa County Sheriff ’s Office took the unidentified suspect into custody after a short search, according to emergency responders on the scene. “It looks like it was an altercation between two males, and one male either sliced or stabbed the other male with
what looks like an X-Acto knife,” said Fire Captain Ryan Pesonen. “It looks like probably minor injuries. It doesn’t look too bad.” Initial reports stated that the victim was bleeding profusely from the chest. Additional support, including a medical helicopter was added to the call, but when East Contra Costa Fire Protection District Engine 59 arrived on scene, firefighters found the victim’s condition to be less severe than initially thought. No other information on the suspect or victim was immediately disclosed.

Motorcyclist hospitalized in crash on Marsh Creek Road by Melissa van Ruiten Staff Writer
An adult male motorcyclist was airlifted to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek with major injuries after colliding with a Subaru Outback on Marsh Creek Road on Wednesday morning, April 20. “At approximately 11:45, I got a call for a two-vehicle collision involving a motorcycle,” said California Highway Patrol Officer Walsh. “It appears both parties were heading westbound on Marsh Creek [Road]. One of the vehicles was turning into Round Valley [Regional Preserve] here, and it appears the motorcycle impacted the rear of the other vehicle.”
The motorcyclist rear-ended the Subaru while attempting to pass a third vehicle, a pickup truck, according to the truck’s driver and a passenger eyewitness, and the collision is still under investigation by the CHP. The motorcyclist was described as drifting in and out of consciousness at the time he was airlifted. The occupants of the Subaru were evaluated on scene by ambulance crews and released with minor or no injuries, according to East Contra Costa Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Jeff Burris. Marsh Creek Road was closed in both directions for about 30 minutes following the collision. To view a video and a slideshow, visit www.thepress.net/multimedia

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!

Lot 10, Map of Subdivision 4335, filed April 18, 1973, Map Book 156, Page 22, Contra Costa County Records. Excepting therefrom: Rights reserved in the deed from Stanley William Davison, recorded March 4, 1970, Book 6077, Official Records, Page 359, as follows:”A fifty per cent (50%) interest in and to all oil, gas, casinghead gas, asphaltum and other hydrocarbons and all chemical gas, now or hereafter found, situated or located in all or any part of the lands described, more than five hundred feet (500’) below the surface thereof, together with the right to slant drill for and remove all or any of said oil, gas, casinghead gas, asphaltum and other hydrocarbons or chemical gas lying below a depth of more than five hundred feet (500’) below the surface thereof, and the right to grant leases for all or any of said purposes, but without any right whatsoever to enter upon the surface of said lands within five hundred feet (500’) vertical distance below the surface thereof. Grantor and his successors or assigns further agree not to lease, sell, or otherwise convey any interest in said oil, gas, casinghead gas, asphaltum and other hydrocarbons and chemical gas and also agree they will not enter upon the surface of said lands within five hundred (500’) feet vertical distance below the surface thereof for the purpose of exploration and/or extraction of those minerals mentioned above.” NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee
sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http://www. qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-20-882640-CL. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 800-280-2832, or visit this internet website http://www. qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-20-882640-CL 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.

Drilling

A moratorium on drilling would allow the council and staff time to work on a ban that is “ironclad and tight,” Councilwoman Jovita Mendoza said. “It would also allow the council to determine whether or not it needed to update the current city ordinances regarding drilling in the event the ban were successfully challenged, City Attorney Damien Brower said. In such a case, an updated city ordinance would potentially have provisions to limit the scope of drilling. “I’m not opposed to what the city is doing,” said Bob Nunn, president of Sunset Exploration Inc. Sunset Exploration is a local oil and gas drilling company that operates wells in Antioch as well as unincorporated Contra Costa County. According to Nunn, Sunset Exploration had no plans for future drilling in Brentwood that would be delayed by the moratorium. Brower said in the March meeting that the goal would be to craft legislature that could withstand potential legal challenges. “We would do our best to prevent that,” he said. “But we all know how the courts are and you never know what’s going to happen. So if something does go away, the city would at least have protections in place that would be stronger than what we have today.”

The work began after the end of the 2013 school year and continued through the summer. Terracare donated all materials and labor, and agreed to cover maintenance for the first year. By the time the students returned to school for the following year, the space had been completely transformed. The garden was bursting with native and edible plants, including fruit trees and bushes, and rows of tomatoes, squash, and beans, along with three large Modesto Ash trees to provide shade to the picnic area. All the paths through the garden were designed to be wide and smooth enough to accommodate a wheelchair, ensuring that all students would be able to enjoy and use the new space. Mastrangelo was overjoyed to have a space where she could take the students from her Life Skills class and expand on their education of where their food comes from, how it’s grown and harvested, and how they can incorporate it into their own home-cooked meals. The garden has also been used by other classes as part of their science, nutrition, and health curriculum. Not to mention, it’s an overall lovely space to spend a

Gonzales said the county is pushing an aggressive timeline, but hopes to fill the position well before the 2022-23 school year starts. “It’s posted until Friday, May 6, which gives up a four-week posting, so we will see what we can pull together,” she has said. “We are looking at scheduling interviews shortly after the posting closes, probably in May … hopefully final interviews will be at the end of May, and this is all in hopes we find a good pool of applicants.” Gauna’s previous position was assistant superintendent for the district of Stockton. He said though he has enjoyed his time in Byron, he looks forward to once again being in a unified district. Byron does not have a high school;

A drilling project in Antioch is seen above. A moratorium on drilling in Brentwood would allow the council and staff time to work on a ban. The urgency ordinance that would put the moratorium in place was presented at the April 12 meeting and adopted unanimously by the council. The agenda item had been open to public comments on March 22 before the council made their decision that evening. All residents who participated in the discussion were in favor of a ban on oil and gas drilling. Residents’ unanimous opinion helped spur the council toward a permanent ban. “This was a publicly agendized item,” Councilwoman Susannah Meyer said when explaining her support of a ban. “There was every opportunity here for people to
quiet moment throughout the day. O’Hara Park Middle School has continued to benefit from their partnership with Terracare, working together on various beautification projects throughout the years. According to the Terracare website, their company community goal is focused on green education, outdoor beautification projects and a variety of events and sponsorships that directly support local companies, municipalities and counties and that we service. Terracare has also donated their services to Learning Garden projects at Adams Middle School and Liberty High School in Brentwood, Excelsior Middle School in Byron, and Freedom High School in Oakley. Most recently, and in celebration of Earth Day 2022, Mastrangelo and Terracare worked together once again, with Terracare donating and planting three Catalpa trees. Once matured, the trees will provide much needed shade for the south-facing classrooms at the edge of the school’s campus. Additionally, another school staff member donated a variety of succulents to plant around the base of the trees. After a long morning of state
all of its high school-aged students attend high school in Brentwood. “I’m excited to go to Patterson; it’s a growing community,” he said, noting his predecessor there is retiring. “I have truly enjoyed my time here in Byron, but I did miss that high school piece. Patterson has been warm and welcoming. I will do some transitional days there, similar to what I did when I came here.” Gauna said he hopes the county’s search for his replacement moves quickly, so he can offer transitional days to the Byron district’s new leader. He does not play a role in the search and interview process. Gauna is part of the negotiations between the district and Byron teachers for a salary increase, and he hopes to have that process wrapped up by the time he leaves. To comment, visit www.thepress.net
speak up in opposition to the idea of banning.” Mendoza expressed gratitude to her fellow councilmembers during the April meeting for their support of the agenda item. “I am very proud of this council for moving it forward,” she said. “I think it’s the right thing to do for all of our future generations. We’ll be gone soon but they’ll be the ones that are left with the ramifications.” Although Nunn is not opposed to the city’s moratorium on drilling, he did stress the importance of accurate scientific data when making a case for such actions rather than relying on emotional appeal. “There’s still more work to do,” Nunn said. While he agreed that drilling in more urbanized areas is not feasible, he felt relevant data should be how lawmakers come to the decision. “The question of ‘how close is too close’ still needs to be answered,” he said. The alternative to local drilling, according to Nunn, would be continued reliance on imported gas and oil. By his estimate, roughly 92% of gas used in California comes from out of state due to the state’s strict environmental regulations. “It seems hypocritical,” Nunn said of the state’s environmental regulations in spite of its reliance on fossil fuels. “It’s like if a meat eater told you to be a vegetarian.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net
testing, the Life Skills students were more than happy to be outside and taking part in the planting process. “It’s just such a blessing to me to be able to be part of a program that can give kids a break, and then also get their hands in the dirt and have that therapeutic feel-
ing.” Mastrangelo said. “I am really grateful and appreciative of our school that allows us to do these kinds of projects, because this is something our students really need.” To view a video and a slideshow, visit www.thepress.net/multimedia
