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 Super- intendent Debbie Gold. He will start work as superintendent of the Patterson Pass Joint Unified School District – a comprehen- sive kindergarten-12 district – in Patterson Pass, Calif. on July “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 com- mitted 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 educa- tion job board – and in admin- istrative publications in an effort to gather a diverse pool of candi- dates.

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.

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.
