Brentwood Celebrating Juneteenth council acts on campaign reform

by Jake Menez Staff Writer

BRENTWOOD The Brentwood City Council voted 3-0 to direct staff to look into an ordinance that would limit campaign contributions as part of campaign reform. Mayor Joel Bryant and Vice Mayor Johnny Rodriguez were absent.

The proposal was brought up during the June 14 meeting jointly by councilmembers Jovita Mendoza and Karen Rarey. The goal of potential campaign finance limits and reform would be to even the playing field among all candidates, according to Rarey. She

Summer Fest to sizzle in Oakley Event on July 2 replaces Oakley Cityhood Celebration

by Jake Menez Staff Writer

OAKLEY The city has announced their inaugural Summer Fest celebration will take place on July 2 downtown, replacing the city’s previous annual event, Oakley Cityhood Celebration.

The celebration will be in Civic Center Plaza and on Main Street from O’Hara Avenue to Vintage Parkway, according to the city’s website. It will run

from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m., and will feature a variety of entertainment from live music to a vintage car show and a cornhole tournament. Unlike the previous Cityhood-like celebrations, there will be no fireworks for safety reasons, according to officials.

“Our transition from the Cityhood Celebration at Freedom Basin to Summer Fest in the heart of downtown reflects the need to accommodate our growing community,” City Manager Josh McMurray said in an email. “It was a difficult decision to remove our popular fireworks show and reposition the event to a new location. However, public safety will always be our number see Fest page 18A

State readies universal web access SACRAMENTO Gov. Gavin Newsom has announced that California is one step closer to delivering affordable high-speed internet service throughout the state, awarding new contracts that will supply the materials necessary for building broadband infrastructure for all.

The California Department of Technology, as part of the state’s Middle-Mile Broadband Initiative, awarded contracts to two vendors totaling nearly $225 million that will allow the state to purchase enough optical fiber and materials to construct 3,000 miles of the network. Contra Costa County Supervisor Diane Burgis is researching this move to determine the best strategy for positioning Contra Costa County towns, particularly District 3 that includes East County, to compete for these grants, according to her press secretary, Teresa Gerringer.

“Delivering broadband to all is essential to California’s success,” Newsom said in a press release.

“Access to high-speed internet can mean the difference between launching a successful career and being without work. Once constructed, this network will be the largest in the world – and our action today will make the promise of broadband for all a reality.”

California is strengthening broadband connections to improve access to education, health services and employment opportunities throughout the state. The see Broadband page 18A

Two dead, nine injured in separate vehicle crashes Two people died and nine others were injured in separate vehicle crashes in Byron and Oakley last week.

One person died and nine more were injured in the first crash, which authorities said was caused by a drunk driver on June 15 on Byron Highway near Camino Diablo.

The California Highway Patrol said the 5:40 p.m. crash occurred when a suspected drunk driver of an Acura sedan, traveling southbound on Byron Highway, allowed his vehicle to cross double yellow lines and into the path of a Chevrolet Suburban carrying nine people, causing both vehicles to careen off the roadway and crash into telephone poles off the roadway.

One of the nine occupants of the Suburban died and eight others sustained moderate injuries, authorities said. The Acura’s driver suffered minor injuries, and was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and booked at the

Martinez Detention Facility, authorities said.

Authorities did not immediately release the names of the victims or of the suspected drunk driver.

Anyone with information is asked to call the California Highway Patrol at 925646-4980.

About 24 hours later, at about 5 p.m. on June 16, Brian Ortiz, 38 of Oakley, died in a motorcycle crash on Laurel Road and Harvest Drive. Oakley police have released few details but believe speed was a factor.

“Oakley Police Traffic investigators have determined that speed was a factor in this fatal collision,” the agency said in a news release. “Investigators have identified witnesses and other involved persons and are still working to determine exactly how this collision occurred.”

Anyone with information about the crash is encouraged to call Oakley police at 925-625-8855.

Community gathers to celebrate Juneteenth

by Jenna Hards Correspondent

Contra Costa County residents, community leaders and organizations gathered at City Park last Sunday to celebrate Juneteenth, the federal holiday recognizing the emancipation of enslaved Black people in the United States.

The event featured vendors, speakers, tabling organizations and performances from local singers and dance

groups. The event also focused on recognizing and teaching the history of enslaved people in the United States and promoting the welfare of Black and minority people.

“Juneteenth, as now a national holiday, of course, is very important. And we are moving forward with change in our country, I feel like it’s important that communities start really embracing that change and coming together,” explained Claryssa Wilson, an event coordinator.

One of the tables at the event included GirlTrek, an international movement promoting the health and wellness of Black women.

“We walk in the spirit of Harriet Tubman,” said one GirlTrek spokesperson. “And as of November 2020, we now have 1.8 million women taking personal responsibility for their self care.”

A speaker at the event, Taqwaa Bonner, talked about his campaign, Taqwaas Youth Diversion, which aims

to help children of incarcerated people and children returning from juvenile hall. Its table also included information about how to get involved in the campaign.

Bonner’s campaign can be followed on Instagram @taqwaas_youth_diversion. Those interested can also learn more about GirlTrek or join their movement at https://www.girltrek.org.

Potentially harmful algae blooms reported

Press file photo

Blue-green algae blooms, which can make humans and pets sick, have been found in Discovery Bay.

DISCOVERY BAY The Contra Costa Health Department urges anyone who boats, fishes or swims in or around Discovery Bay to be cautious after large blooms of blue-green algae were discovered there.

A bloom is a buildup of blue-green algae, or cyanobacteria, that creates a green, blue-green, white or brown coloring on the surface of slow-moving waterways. Contact with a toxin produced by the bloom can make people and pets sick.

The state Water Resources Control Board recently sampled water at Discovery Bay after a person and a dog, in separate incidents, each developed minor symptoms consistent with exposure to cyanobacteria toxin after contact with water. Sampling revealed elevated levels of harmful algae.

Officials have provided caution signs to Reclamation District 800 to post at the marina in Discovery Bay. Everyone should follow the instructions on the signs and stay away from algae and scum in the water, officials said.

Keep children and pets on shore, away from the blooms, and do not touch or handle algae in the water or scum on the shoreline, officials said.

It is also unsafe to drink or cook with water in these areas, or to eat fish or shellfish caught in or near them.

For more information on algae blooms, visit cchealth.org/eh/hab. Visit mywaterquality.ca.gov/habs for more information and resources, including an online map showing where high concentrations of harmful algae have been reported across the state.

COVID vaccine available for children younger than 5 The COVID-19 vaccine for children age 6 months to 5 years is now available.

The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are available at pediatricians’ offices, community health centers, CVS and Walgreens drug stores.

The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gave emergency approval for

use of both vaccines last weekend, the CDC said in a press release.

But some parents might be reluctant to allow their children to get the vaccine, according to a survey in April. Just 18% of parents of children under 5 said they would vaccinate their child against COVID-19 as soon as a vaccine became available, according to an April Kaiser Family

Foundation Vaccine Monitor survey.

Even though the approval came only last weekend, states ordered the shots already, enabling doctors’ offices, community health centers, health departments and pharmacies ready to administer them this week, according to various media reports.

Byron Delta Lions Club CLOCKED IN celebrates 30 years of service with

Byron Delta Lions Club celebrated 30 years of community service at their yearly installation of officers, held at Discovery Bay Country Club.

Chartered in 1992, the club began as the Discovery Bay Lionesses.

They are composed of women of all ages, and are currently one of the largest Lions Clubs composed of women in the United States.

The club is an integral part of the Discovery Bay/Brentwood community with many projects that benefit the area schools, including the Delta Christian Community Food Bank, Lions Center for the Visually Impaired, Contra Costa Medical Center, and Disaster Funds.

They also sponsor a local Student Speaker Contest, Peace Poster Contest, Baby Shower for newborn clothing to go to the county hospital, a Doggie Shower to benefit ARF and HALO animal rescues and many more.

The club also co-sponsors Wreaths Across America at Union Cemetery in Brentwood. In December, that program honors veterans by placing a wreath on each gravesite in remembrance and honor of their service. This nationwide program started at Arlington National Cemetery and has spread across the United States.

The club’s signature project is vision screening pre-school to middle school students. All members who screen for vision have been trained and certified to test the students. This year, they have tested over 4,000 students and are not finished. The testing uses a SPOT camera (looks much like a Polaroid camera).

When the student looks into the camera, it captures any abnormalities. The reports are then sent to the parents as a referral to a professional eye doctor. With early detection of abnormalities, The Lions Club has referred many students for further professional testing.

Last year, the club also just chartered a first-time “Byron Delta Cub Club,” which has members age 5 to12 with a parent sponsor. The

The club finances its projects through fundraisers and donations with one or two fundraisers per year. This year, on July 16, they are presenting a Luau at the DeLuna Ranch in Brentwood.

FINDING UNCLAIMED LIFE INSURANCE BENEFITS

by Joan Grimes, Esq.

One of the most common questions people ask me after someone dies is about life insurance. How can I find out if my parent had life insurance? What if I can’t find a copy of the policy?

It is estimated in the United States that 1 out of every 600 life insurance policies remains unclaimed with the average benefit being $2,000.00 It is believed that billions of dollars has gone unclaimed. The reasons that claims are not made on policies is usually because either the life insurance company and the policy owner are no longer in contact or the life insurance company does not know that the insured has died.

What most people do not know is that anyone can locate a policy for a policy holder. If you know the name of the life insurance company or the name of the insurance company when the policy was issued, you can look up the address and phone number of their claims department at the National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (NAIC) website https://content. naic.org/state-insurance-departments If you don’t know the name of the life insurance company, but think there was a life insurance or annuity contract on the person, you can go to the NAIC Life Insurance Policy Locator Service and they will research to see if there is a policy in the person’s name. The website of the locator service is https://eapps.naic.org/ life-policy-locator/#/requestor. However, to make a request on the locator service, they are going to require that you have made a diligent search

of the deceased person’s records and property, including bank statement and safety deposit boxes and that you have asked family members to identify all life insurance policies and annuity contracts that you have reason to believe covered the life of the deceased person.

In order to ensure that you do not have an unclaimed benefit after your death, it is very important for you to let you beneficiaries know about your life insurance policies and annuity contracts. Leave a copy of the policy or contract with your Estate Planning documents. Give a copy of the contract to the beneficiaries.

If you do not have Estate Planning Worksheet outlining all of your assets and how to make claims on them, I strongly encourage prepare one and put it with your Estate Planning documents.

If you need an Worksheet, you can download one at my website, www.grimesep.com/estateplanning-worksheets If you have questions about your assets and how they will be distributed after your death or need help reviewing your Trust, we offer FREE 30 minute consultations in our Walnut Creek and Brentwood offices.

Business group gets national recognition BRENTWOOD The Downtown Brentwood Coalition has been designated as an Affiliate Main Street America program for meeting rigorous performance standards. Each year, Main Street America and its partners announce the list of Affiliate programs to recognize their commitment to create meaningful improvements to their downtowns using preservation-based economic development and community revitalization through the Main Street Approach.

“We are thrilled to acknowledge this year’s 383 Affiliate Main Street America programs and their commitment to advance economic vitality and quality of life in their downtowns and commercial districts,” said Patrice Frey, president and CEO of Main Street America. “During another incredibly challenging year, these programs demonstrated the power of the Main Street movement to respond to the needs of their communities, driving essential local recovery efforts, supporting small businesses, and nurturing vibrant neighborhoods.”

On average, for every dollar that a Main Street program spent to support their operations, it generated $19.34 of new investment back into cities with a Main Street program.

The Downtown Brentwood Coalition’s (DBC) performance is annually evaluated by California Main Street, which works with Main Street America to identify the local programs that are committed to revitalizing downtowns and hosting successful community events.

The Downtown Brentwood Coalition has set their sights on becoming a Main Street Program again in 2023. Executive Director of the DBC, Amy Tilley adds that, “The Downtown Brentwood Coali-

In 2021, Main Street America programs generated $5.76 billion in local reinvestment, helped open 6,601 net new businesses, generated 30,402 net new jobs, was the catalyst for the rehabilitation of 10,595 historic buildings, and leveraged 1,427,729 volunteer hours. tion is well positioned to obtain this highly respected accreditation due to the great work of the Coalition, its members and the support from the City of Brentwood and City Council. We are so grateful that our City recognizes the value of investing in the betterment of Downtown Brentwood and the downtown community.

We are excited to begin a new membership year starting July 1st, and offer additional support and resources to our downtown small business community. Together we will continue to provide high-quality, family-friendly offerings to our residents and visitors here in Brentwood.”

Cleaning up the gaming community It’s All About The Pentiums is the greatest technology song of the dot-com era

Editor: Many people who are heavily or newly involved with the gaming community are all on the same page when it comes to dealing with players with a “toxic” personality. Toxicity tends to lead players to worsen their own mental state during the game, and can lead to threats outside of the game.

Many gaming companies are listening to players’ requests, with a prime example being Riot games. Their two most famous games League of Legends, and Valorant both have solutions inside of the game to report and possibly get the reported player banned from communication within the game for a period of time. However many people feel the need to put down others as it may have some effect on them, but not any good effects.

Some people feel that if they express the anger they have with a certain player’s gameplay, it will help them improve and learn that they are not doing the best, but that is not always the case. This leads to both of the players fighting each other more often than solving the problem at hand. According to Riot Games, “Their toxic behavior ingame has led to a recent permanent ban of their accounts, and, for both players, this is not their first permanent ban.

We’re now taking action in order to help ensure that players seeking to compete in the LCS represent the principles of good sportsmanship and clean play.”

Valorant is one of the most popular video games developed by Riot in 2022, but it has also become the most toxic one, according to a new report. Keeping a healthy environment in the team lobby can be difficult, especially in first-person shooter games where communication is crucial.

Editor: Weird Al perfectly encapsulates the dotcom era in his 1999 song It’s All About The Pentiums.

In seven questions, the song is able to represent every sector of the computer generation.

Who didn’t feel the thrill of defragging a hard drive? I used to sit in front of the computer and watch those tiny blocks go from chaos to order.

The song is presented by a man who boasts the constant acquiring of the newest software and hardware, accusing the rest of us of being “dumb newbies,” a recently coined term meaning “an inexperienced newcomer.”

In an ironic twist of fate, and perhaps planned by the genius of the artist, the claims of 100 GB of RAM and a T1 line is laughable to the modern listener.

Weird Al has taken an industry that moves too fast for the user to keep up, created a character who insults us at every technological turn, knowing full well that by the time the song is released, he would be rendered obsolete.

Listening to the song 23 years later, we are baffled that someone could call the rest of us newbies for not using a Pentium processor.

It seems that he has truly written the anthem for the online crypto community. Take these lyrics, for example: Wanna run with my crew, huh? Rule cyberspace and crunch numbers like I do? They call me the king of the spreadsheets, got ‘em all printed out on my bed sheets.

How many wake up daily, tweet “GM” to their crew, crunch numbers and attempt to rule cyberspace through the use of charts and spreadsheets, all from the comfort of our bedsheets?

The dot-com era had many flops, but I believe that It’s All About The Pentiums is one of the true diamonds that came out of the late ‘90s tech boom and should be embraced by the crypto community.

Wes Wade Oakley

Correction In the June 17 edition of The Press, the article headlined “Discovery Bay wants project relocated” on page 1 should have read the county is looking into the zoning so a developer can build apartments that Discovery Bay leaders and residents don’t want.

In the June 17 edition of The Press, the article headlined “Throwing bags and having fun” on page 6 should have read that about 200 cornhole players took part in the Bags, Bites & Brews Cornhole Tournament on June 12.

OBITUARY Paul Elliot Lasater

February 12, 1946-June 16, 2022 Paul Elliot Lasater was a loving father, husband, son, brother, uncle and grandfather. He left this world on Thursday, June 16, 2022 after a long battle with Alzheimers.

Paul was born on February 12, 1946 in Antioch, California to William and Pearl Lasater.

At the young age of 17, Paul enlisted in the Air Force where he served as a clerk.

After being honorably dis-

charged, Paul settled down in Brentwood and welcomed his daughter, Lea. Paul was a dedicated Clerk for Contra Costa County and retired in 2001 with 25 years of service. He had an extreme love of music and could often be found in his room tuning and playing his guitar or playing the harmonica.

He also had a love of fishing and golfing.

Paul is survived by his wife of 35 years, Cecilia Lasater; brother Robert Lasater (Teresa); daughter Lea Lasater (Don); daughter Malon Lasater (Shaun);

son Nicholas Lasater; step-daughter Patricia Harms (Don); step-son Joseph Maietto (Rebecca); 3 grandchildren; 5 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his father and mother; sister Mary Jean; brothers James, Donald, Richard and Johnny; and granddaughter Ashley Harms.

The family is planning a private celebration of life. Donations can be made to the national Alzheimer’s Association in his name.

pair of East County couples recently brought The Press along on their cruise to Alaska. Press owners Greg Robinson and Sandie McNulty stopped in Canada on the way home. They can’t ever seem to leave home without The Press. Jim and JoAnn Klement took some time to get off the cruise ship and enjoy the sights of Skagway, Alaska, and, of course, had to stop and get their photo taken with The Press. Thanks for taking us along with you on your journey.

How to make your skin glow for the big day DAWNMARIE FEHR

W

alking down the aisle involves different kinds of preparation, and brides

want to look their best for their big day.

Plans for making sure skin is clear, tight and bright can start as early as one year before the wedding day for some, but dermatologists will have treatments appropriate for closer to the ceremony, as well.

Bethany Collins, assistant manager at Balfour Dermatology in Brentwood, said her office offers a range of treatments so brides can customize their results.

“Starting early is ideal,” Collins said.

“Like months before, to get the best outcome.”

At Balfour Dermatology, brides-to-be can receive a combination of injections with Botox and fillers to help with fine lines and volume loss. They can also indulge in skin treatments that will speed up cell turnover, improving skin’s tone and texture.

“With our aesthetician, you can do a series of peels, skin infusion and micro dermabrasion,” Collins added. “Again, starting early on would be the best for pigmentation and texture overall.”

Brides who don’t have a year to plan

The key to preparing your skin for the big day is to start early. out treatments can still come in for a customized facial with the aesthetician. Other shortterm options include microdermabrasion or acne treatments.

“If it’s right before the big day, something for that time frame could be a treatment with our aestheticians, like microdermabrasion or a facial, right before the big day,” Collins said. “Because we are a dermatologist office, the goal is for medical or clinical

correction, and that can take longer, in terms of cell turnover.”

Treatments abound at Balfour Dermatology and not just for the face.

The office also offers body contouring and skin tightening through services like Cool Sculpting Elite, Vanquish, and Exilis skin tightening.

“We can contour the body, reduce volume, permanently destroy fat and sculpt

the body,” Collins said.

Dermatology deals with hair as well as skin and nails, and the office’s hair restoration services include hair loss restoration and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections to stimulate hair growth.

“Those are the most popular aesthetic treatments,” said Collins. “We are a medical derm, so we treat eczema or rosacea, we can treat flare-ups if you want those controlled before the big day, we offer acne treatment and psoriasis. Anything like that, we can help calm down the flare-ups before the big day.”

Collins also said that more men are coming in for services than ever before, and the office has stayed open throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Staff can treat skin cancers, remove moles, and offer advice for medical grade skin care, which offers more correction and results than over-the-counter products, experts said.

“You will get more correction and results when you invest your money in physician-dispensed skin care,” said Collins, noting the office has a selection of products from which to choose. “You don’t need an appointment for skin care; you can come in and talk with us about what we have available.”

Balfour Dermatology is at 2221 Balfour Road, Suite A, in Brentwood. For more information, call 925-240-9116 or visit www. skinquestion.com.

Former dietitian has sweet new job

C A I T LY N P R U I T T

A

Brentwood woman has turned a lifelong hobby into

a new career. After working as a physician’s assistant and clinical dietitian, Cathy “Noni” Heymann decided it was time to retire, switch gears and embrace her creativity.

Thus, Noni’s Sweet Treats in Brentwood was born three years ago with her baking done in her home. Heymann began baking at 7 years old and it was a hobby she’s maintained her entire life.

Whether it’s for weddings, birthdays or holiday events, Heymann offers a full complement of options, including cakes, cinnamon rolls, cupcakes, breads, brownies and jams.

But it’s the products she customizes for every customer that make her the happiest, she said.

She loves getting her clients’ input on the designs and items she bakes because she knows she’s giving them something that is uniquely theirs. Her busiest time of year is wedding season and she says lately, the cupcake pull-away cakes have been all the rage.

She honed her baking skills by attending online courses as well as taking courses at the Culinary Academy of San Francisco with renowned chefs Julia Child and Jacques Pepin. She got to work studying basic techniques to baking pastries, sugar flowers and cake.

Noni’s Sweet Treats is located in Brentwood. Products can be ordered through Noni’s Sweet Treats’ website nonissweettreats. com. There, you can find the wide variety of baked goods she sells along with prices and other information.

You can also get in contact with Noni by phone (650) 346-6837 or email SweetTreatsBrentwood@ gmail.com.

Engagement photography – is it worth it?

MELISSA VAN RUITEN

T

Couples that have chosen to include an engagement session are almost always more comfortable in front of the camera on their wedding day.

he short answer is YES. As an engagement and wedding photographer, that’s

probably what you’d expect me to say, right? I’ve photographed engagement sessions all over the Bay Area, but there is always one thing that stays with me – the couples that have chosen to include an engagement session are almost

Photo by Melissa van Ruiten

always more comfortable in front of the camera on their wedding day.

Here are a few reasons why engagement photos should be high on your wedding planning to-do list: ♦ It’s the best opportunity to slow down and be yourselves Wedding days are hectic. That’s not really a secret. Even days that seem like they’ve got a good schedule cushion built in can still end up feeling like a whirlwind.

An engagement session gives you the opportunity to take your time, explore, and relax. You are able to choose a location that is meaningful to your relationship — first date locale, favorite hiking spot, cute

WEDDING PLANNER

cafe, etc. You can plan outfits that fit your personality. While you’re at it, why not throw together a fun, lovey-dovey playlist?

Jamming to some favorite tunes can really put those awkward butterflies at ease.

Planning a wedding can leave you feeling frazzled, so an engagement session is a good time to really connect with your partner, and show off how in love you both are. ♦ You get to know your photographer (and vice versa) You want you to be as comfortable as possible when you’re in front of my camera.

If you’re not, it’s going to show. Nobody is born knowing how to act in front of a

camera. Your engagement session will allow you to see how your photographer works, and it allows them to figure out your quirks – and make them shine. There’s chatting and joking, and hopefully lots of laughter to put you at ease. By the time your wedding day rolls around, there should be a good camaraderie built, because you’ll be spending a lot of time together on the big day. ♦ You can use the images for all things wedding related Are you looking for the perfect Save-the-Dates, or a totally personalized wedding invitation? Maybe you’ve got a whole wedding website to help your

guests with all the details of your big day. Why not fully customize it with professional photos of you and your fiance? A former wedding client did this, and she couldn’t be happier.

“The photos helped make our invitations more personal and we have a set of gorgeous photos that capture the excitement we felt about getting married,” she said.

We live in the age of social media.

Rather than posting random, couple selfies with your wedding updates, you’ll have a complete, curated gallery of photos to use. Don’t get me wrong, candid shots definitely have their time and place. But for something like custom guest books, or gift table displays, you’ll want something that looks a bit more “finished.”

All in all, engagement photos are just plain fun. In the midst of wedding planning chaos, they are the perfect opportunity to step away and celebrate the amazing love that you and your partner share.

One of the best ways to maximize wedding budgets and ensure that all that money is well spent is to enlist the services of a wedding planner. Wedding planners wear many hats, which underscores how valuable they can be.

The average cost of a wedding planner can range from $3,000 up to $12,000, according to Weddingwire.com.

Sounding board

An experienced wedding planner can help couples keep their worries at bay.

Countless decisions must be made when planning a wedding, and some couples may feel as if they need to micromanage their nuptials. A wedding planner can take

tasks off of couples’s plates and serve as a sounding board as couples try to make the best decisions.

Financial expert

A wedding planner may help couples score insider deals and will know when a vendor’s price is on target or inflated. That savvy saves couples money in the long run.

Wedding planners also can advise on ways to save money and allocate funds so a couple’s biggest priorities get the financial attention they deserve.

Problem solver

Wedding planners step in to save the day when hiccups threaten to derail plans. A planner will know what to do should a gown become torn or if a vendor fails to respond to calls on the day of the wedding. Removing some stressors allows couples to relax and more fully immerse themselves in their weddings.

Idea generator

Pulling together ideas from every corner requires a creative eye. Couples can rely on a professional wedding planner to help with brainstorming and putting different elements together. He or she likely has seen a vast array of celebrations and can make suggestions based on what’s worked before.

Time saver

Wedding planners already have a bevy of industry contacts and can pull together wedding details in much less turnaround time than couples with no wedding planning experience.

offer micro wedding packages in an effort to capitalize on this emerging trend. Data from The Wedding Report indicated that the total number of weddings would rise to 2.77 million in 2021, an increase of roughly 650,000 over the yearly average. Even if only a fraction of couples who tie the knot in 2022 opt for a micro wedding, a preexisting micro wedding package can help wedding planners secure their business. Couples who choose micro weddings may do so to save money, but also to avoid the effort and save the time required to plan more lavish affairs. Such couples may be especially excited to work with wedding planners who can plan their weddings regardless of how small the affair may be.

What goes into a micro wedding?

Nothing should be off the table when planning a micro wedding. The fewer the people who will be there, the more freedom planners and couples may have. The WPI notes that micro weddings afford planners and couples the chance to get personal in ways that may not be possible when organizing larger affairs. Planners can focus on small details and allow couples to make their ceremonies and receptions as personal as they would like.

Couples who prefer micro weddings tend to emphasize minimalism, so keeping things simple is something to keep in mind when planning micro weddings.

Custom Cakes for Weddings & Special Events

B

The 2020 Real Weddings Study (COVID19 Edition) found that 58 percent of couples who planned to get married in 2020 ended up reducing their guest list by a significant percentage, creating a ‘micro wedding.’ The average reduction was 41 percent, and some suspect small ceremonies may be the new normal in the years ahead.

Micro weddings Micro weddings are not necessarily a new trend, as couples have always had the option of getting married with only a small number of family and friends in attendance. However, micro weddings could be an emerging trend, and cost may have a lot to do with that. The Wedding Planner Institute (WPI) notes that micro weddings cost from $1,600 to $10,000, though the group notes that most micro weddings fall somewhere in the middle of that range. A 2020 survey from TD Ameritrade found that 47 percent of respondents said that cost of living was the biggest threat to their financial security and long-term investments.

Engaged couples confronting the well-documented post-pandemic increase in cost of living, including an unprecedented rise in housing costs, could see expensive weddings as luxuries they simply cannot afford. Micro weddings could be viewed as a cost-effective way to combat the rising cost of living that still allows couples to share their big day with their closest friends and family members.

The WPI has urged wedding planners to

Second time is the charm for Cable Community makes big impression on Lions’ new football coach

by Michael Dixon Correspondent

When Ryan Partridge left Liberty following the 2019 football season, Mike Cable applied for the job, thinking that he’d be unlikely to be considered. While the job ultimately went to Matt Hoefs, Cable was considered, going through the interview process. Liberty and the Brentwood community left an impression on him. The feeling was mutual.

After the 2021 season, Hoefs stepped down as Liberty’s coach after two years. When the job came open, Cable, who’d spent the previous four years as the varsity coach at Prospect High School in Saratoga, again became a candidate. This time, he got the job.

All of Cable’s high school coaching experience has been at Prospect High School. He was initially hired as a strength and conditioning coach, a job he held for one year. After that, Cable became the junior varsity head coach for the next three seasons and led the varsity program for the four after that. But Liberty was an ideal scenario for Cable.

“When I first went through the interview process, everything I heard about Brentwood, people kept talking about the community aspect,” he recalled. “It was everything I wanted, to coach at a school that has such support, and as a father, for my girls to have that sense of community.”

Cable is used to building a program. In his first year at Prospect, the Panthers went 2-8. But they went 5-5 the

CABLE following season, then 5-0 in the spring, 2021 season. At Liberty, he’s inheriting a program that went 5-5 against a grueling schedule in the fall 2021 season and 3-2 in Bay Valley Athletic League play.

Returning from that team is dual-threat quarterback Nate Bell, who’s entering his third year at starting quarterback. Liberty’s leading receiver from the 2021 season, Ryan Mckendry, will also return, as will Ty Ternes and Darell Carr, who led the Lions in tackles and interceptions, respectively, in 2021.

But through spring and summer practices, Cable has been impressed with the number of players the program has to offer.

“It’s been kind of overwhelming,” Cable said.

“We’ve had over 120 players out there. So many guys are getting in and there are a lot of standouts. Nate is the voice that we listen to but we have some other leaders starting to step up. When we break this down and start from scratch, I’m having everyone step up. We’re going to have our standouts but it’s very much a team. We’re focusing on ‘we’ and ‘us’ and not ‘me’ and ‘you.’”

“And I’m very grateful that I’ve inherited a fantastic coaching staff,” Cable added. “They’re sticking around.

It’s a great group to work with. A great group of coaches with the right perspective in mind.”

Cable is also aware of the league he’s coming into and knows the talent he can expect to be going against on a weekly basis within the BVAL. “The BVAL is a very tough league,” he said. “When I did get into the interview process I did my research, I saw the talent all the way around. I looked at the history of the league. I saw that Liberty has only one BVAL title, and that it’s been dominated by Pittsburg, and they have a great team again this year. But we have pieces and everything we need to win. And the way I look at it, Pittsburg has everything to lose.”

Cable is also aware of his two new rivals in Heritage and Freedom. One of Hoefs’ top achievements in his two years at Liberty was going 2-0 against both the Patriots and Falcons.

Regarding the Patriots and Falcons, he initially chuckled, “I know we’re not too well liked.” But Cable did make it known that he’s looking forward to those two games and getting to know the rival programs.

“It’s fun to have those crosstown rivals and the bowl games,” Cable said. “I’m excited. It’s the rival games that are the fun ones. If we can get the right kind of competition, highlighting sportsmanship, that’s a lot of fun. I’m looking forward to working with both communities as see Cable page 12A

Cornhole club growing in Brentwood

by Michael Dixon Correspondent

Few entertainment options existed in the early stages of COVID-19. During that time, Ray Chavarria and his family went outside and started playing cornhole. Eventually, their neighbors got involved and it morphed into something bigger.

Eventually, they found a literal name for themselves -- The Brentwood Bombers. They began playing and having outdoor tournaments at Harvest Park Bowling Alley before the management change.

When that happened, the Brentwood Bombers moved to Four Legs Brewing at 2010 Elkins Way in Brentwood.

That’s where they are now, playing every Wednesday at 6 p.m.

“Cornhole payers were traveling to Stockton to play,” said Chavarria, the Director of the Brentwood Bombers. “We just wanted to rep our own name for the community.”

At other tournaments, the Bomb-

ers are recognizable as they typically are the only team with camouflage clothing. They also sponsor two of their better players – partners Spencer Fabionar and Eric Jay – when they play in American Cornhole League events.

But despite that, there’s also an informal feeling to the Bombers. Chavarria clarified that the Bombers are a club, not a league. There are two different groups to the club, a lower group for less-experienced players and an upper group for the better, more experienced cornhole players. On a given week, he estimated that between 50 and 100 people will come out to participate.

But there’s also no long-term commit-

ment to showing up one week.

“You don’t have to sign up,” Chavarria said. “If you just want to come out on a Wednesday and not the next, you can do that. We’re not a league. You don’t have to show up.”

There’s a $10 buy-in for the lower division and a $20 buy-in for the uppers, with the top three teams getting 80% of the total pot.

While there’s no official date set, one upcoming tournament that the Bombers are hoping to host would be for the Brentwood School District. There, instead of money, the buy-in cost would be school supplies that would then go out to underprivileged kids in the area for the upcoming school year.

“Our main focus on the Brentwood

Bombers is to support small businesses like Four Legs and to bring the community together,” Chavarria said.

Helping Chavarria along the way has been his girlfriend, Adrianna Ochoa, who checks players in, and Connor Dorais, whom he described as his right-hand man for the Bombers. He’s also been buoyed by the community at large and encouraged by the group of people who show up.

“We accept all ages,” he said. “The cornhole community is super supportive.

Everyone is cheering, hollering. It’s such an awesome group of people.”

Chavarria also hopes that the club will continue to grow, including more people who might want to play cornhole, regardless of their experience level.

“If you’re curious, come out,” he said. “If you don’t know how to play, we’re more than happy to show you how to play, how to throw the bag. There’s more than one bag. We provide the bag and board. All you have to do is show up and we’ll take it from there. We’ll take you under our wing and you’ll have a blast.”

Cable from page 11A well as ours to make this as fun for the kids -- both who play football and not -as possible. I’m excited for that.”

But beyond the wins and losses, Cable is most excited about Brentwood.

He and his wife have lived in San Jose for their entire lives. With two young daughters (three years and 10 months old), he wanted his family to experience a slower pace of life, where neighbors not only know each other but care for each other.

Speaking to friends who’d moved to the area, Cable was told Brentwood offered that. And in his early experiences, he said he felt that.

“When we toured the area in house hunting, we experienced that first-hand,”

East County Little League Champions

Cable said. “Random people at restaurants and people on the street would say ‘hello’ and start talking to us. It’s just different and a good different. I had a good feel that it’s a community with a familyfriendly environment.”

And he looks forward to seeing the community out at the games on Friday nights in the fall.

“The community that is going to support football as a coach is icing on the cake, Cable said. “I heard there were like 6,000-7,000 people for homecoming. It’s amazing. The town kind of shuts down for the big games. That’s so cool to be in an environment where people care about the community. To be a part of that and feel that has definitely been a lot of fun.”

title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor(s): Marc P Kincade, a married man as his sole and separate property Recorded: 3/23/2020 as Instrument No. 2020-0055790-00 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of CONTRA COSTA County, California; Date of Sale: 7/19/2022 at 9:00 AM Place of Sale: At the Pleasant Hill Community Center, located at 320 Civic Drive, Pleasant Hill, CA 94523. In the Auction.com Room Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $389,850.73 The purported property address is: 2329 HILLIARD CIR, ANTIOCH, CA 94509 Assessor’s Parcel No.: 075-332-010-0 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-22-899897-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-22899897-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

report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations. 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) 758-8052 or visit this Internet Web site www.Xome.com, using the file number assigned to this case 20-24513.

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. For sales conducted after January 1, 2021: 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) 758-8052, or visit this internet website www.Xome.com, using the file number assigned to this case 20-24513 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.

also wants part of the reform to stipulate that donations could be pledged only during a campaign year to prevent the potential stockpiling of funds by candidates during non-election years.

Following the public comment portion of the discussion, the present council members voted to limit donations to be accepted during the campaign year with a limit of $500 from individuals while also examining limits on Political Action Committee contributions to candidates.

One resident, identified only as ‘Rod,’ expressed concern over campaign donations in previous elections, citing funds Bryant had received in previous campaigns from devel-

Fest

oper Seeno Homes. Bryant had accepted a $20,000 donation from Sierra Pacific Properties Inc. owned by Seeno, during the 2020 mayoral race, sparking backlash from the community. Bryant denied any impropriety, stating that no seat was worth his integrity.

“We don’t understand why, in the small town of Brentwood, you would need that much money to run a campaign,” Mendoza said. “I would hope that people would look at substance more than shiny ads and things like that.”

Rod added: “I’m so thrilled to see the city council come forward with this. People see what money does in politics and we just don’t need that here.”

one priority for any event now and in the future.”

Summer Fest will also feature an extensive list of activities tailored to children, according to Felicia Escover, the assistant to the city manager. The Kid Zone has plenty to keep kids busy, including face painting, water games and a goat-petting zoo. Admission to the Kid Zone is free for children 5 and younger, while par-

Broadband

from page 1A

Middle-Mile Broadband Initiative is the first step to creating an open-access, middlemile network that will build infrastructure to bring high-speed broadband service to unserved and underserved communities, regardless of technology used, on equal economic and service terms, the release stated.

Newsom’s action is one part of a comprehensive, long-term approach to upgrading the broadband infrastructure shortcoming still hindering rural towns and low-income people, bringing the state closer to achieving affordable, high-speed broadband internet service to everyone.

Construction of the ‘Middle-Mile’ network is expected to be completed by December 2026.

Middle-Mile network refers to high-capacity fiber lines that carry large amounts of data at higher speeds over longer distances between local networks.

It is the physical infrastructure required to connect global internet networks with local networks and is an essential component of the state’s Broadband for All efforts, the press release said.

Supply chain problems and nationwide broadband projects have created competition to secure necessary materials. The state’s Invitation For Bid was a proactive step to ensure supplies will be available at a pre-negotiated price when they are needed. The state has the ability to add an indefinite amount of materials as needed to complete construction over the next four years, the press release

ents of older children may purchase a wristband for $5.

In addition to the variety of entertainment options, Summer Fest will also play host to vendor booths where local artisans can sell their wares as well as booths serving food and drinks. Outside alcoholic beverages are not permitted, Escover noted, but the Oakley Rotary Club will be on site selling beer and wine.

“Our inaugural Summer Fest is a day we’ve been look-

stated.

As a result of the competitive process, the state is guaranteed to have conduit, vaults, optical fiber and construction hardware readily available for the next four years as construction begins.

Government Operations Secretary Amy Tong said purchasing the material for the network is a critical first step to make sure California has the supplies it needs for construction of the MiddleMile network in the coming years. “This fiber will be the backbone of the middlemile network, which will bring access to unserved and underserved Californians so they can participate equally in digital society,” Tong said.

Russ Nichols, acting director of the California Department of Technology and chairman of the Middle-Mile Advisory Committee, said the projects will begin soon. “With this milestone in place, we can continue our planning with Caltrans to begin installing the fiber as soon as possible,” Nichols said.

Last year, the governor signed legislation allocating $6 billion for achieving Broadband for All, including $3.25 billion for the Middle-Mile network and this year’s revised budget proposes an additional $1.1 billion to support the project as it moves into construction.

The 2021 legislation included: $3.25 billion to build, operate and maintain an open access, state-owned middle-mile network. $2 billion to set up last-mile broad-

ing forward to,” McMurray said. “What makes this city unique is its sense of community. I look forward to seeing our downtown alive with families, fellowship and community.”

band connections that will connect homes and businesses with local networks. The legislation expedites project deployment and enables Tribes and local governments to access this funding. $750 million for a loan loss reserve fund to bolster the ability of local governments and nonprofits to secure financing for broadband infrastructure.

Creation of a broadband czar position at the California Department of Technology, and a broadband advisory committee with representatives from

across state government and members appointed by the Legislature.

In 2020, the state mobilized companies, business leaders and philanthropists through public-private partnerships to facilitate distance learning at school districts in need across the state. The effort helped connect students lacking highspeed internet or an appropriate computing device at home with donated mobile hotspots, laptops, Chromebooks, tablets and other devices.

DA, feds combine to fight wage theft MARTINEZ Contra Costa District Attorney Diana Becton and U.S. Department of Labor Assistant District Director for San Jose Alberto Raymond have agreed to combat wage theft and protect workers’ rights.

Wage theft affects victims in various ways – and at all income levels. Some workers are denied overtime or are paid less than the minimum wage per hour. Some employers also refuse to pay bonuses, vacation pay, or reimbursement of business expenses.

According to investigations by the Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division in 2021, U.S. workers were denied over $230 million in back pay.

The DA’s Office will be devoting resources to prosecute criminal wage theft cases to curtail labor

trafficking, unfair business practices, payroll tax evasion, and wage and hour violations. To do this, District Attorney Becton will create a Workplace Justice Unit that’s committed to a fair and equitable workplace.

Becton noted, “While the DA’s Office and the Department of Labor have had an informal relationship on human labor trafficking and wage theft cases since 2014, this (deal) marks the start of a formal five-year partnership to continue our efforts to seek justice for victims of crime.”

Wage theft is a felony punishable by up to three years in jail. Employers caught stealing from their em-

ployees may be personally liable for unpaid wages and face criminal asset forfeiture actions, according to the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Labor Division fiscal year 2021 data.

In addition to investigating and prosecuting cases, both agencies will conduct community outreach programs to inform the public about reporting wage theft -- as well as provide resources for employers to help them follow labor and payroll tax laws.

If you are a victim of wage theft, call 1-866-4-USWAGE or contact the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office at: DAReportFraud@contracostada.org.

Byron Highway safety project starts construction BYRON Contra Costa County Public Works began construction of the Byron Highway at Byer Road Safety Improvements Project on Monday, June 20, and it is scheduled to last through Friday, Oct. 7, barring unforeseen circumstances.

Work will occur Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., weather

permitting. Work will take place along Byron Highway between the intersection with Hoffman Lane and 550 feet south of the intersection with Byer Road. Restrictions will be in place to minimize impacts to traffic during school drop-off and pick-up times. Drivers should expect delays.

Work includes construction of a two-

way-left turn lane along Excelsior Middle School frontage and a left-turn pocket at the intersection of Byron Highway with Byer Road. Additional improvements include pavement striping, installing drainage facilities, applying a slurry seal, creating a concrete median, an asphalt walkway and relocating existing rapid flashing bea-

con systems, as well as installation of speed feedback signs.

Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program Funds, Area of Benefit Funds and Traffic Mitigation Funds are paying for this project. More information for this project can be found at http://www. cccounty.us/pwdmap.
