A planned proposal has Cali fornia residents possibly digging a little deeper into their pockets if they are planning on going green and installing solar panels.
I think we are looking at increased costs, which will impact future installations which go against the states’ ‘all electric’ goals.

The home designs will consist of four floor plans, two single-story (2,836 and 3,048 square feet) and two, two-story (3,518 and 3,988 square feet) designs. The homes are consistent with the city design guidelines reminiscent of Early California/Spanish, Mediterranean Revival, and Craftsman.

The California Public Utili ties Commission (CPUC) is con sidering a proposal to tax residen tial rooftop solar installations at an average of $57 a month. The proposal, which was first visited in 2020, is raising concerns that the proposed tax increase could make solar unaffordable for working and middle class individuals at a time where solar energy is starting to take off.

OAKLEY A proposed ban on local oil drilling went up in smoke at the City Council meet ing Tuesday night. The debate was heated but the support was lukewarm.Thecity hasn’t had any applications to drill for hydro carbons for nearly 15 years, ac cording to Derek Cole, the city attorney. But with controversies over applications in neighbor ing areas, council members Sue Higgins and Anissa Williams proposed a city ordinance dur ing a workshop in August that would adopt a moratorium on the permitting of hydrocarbon development within city limits to protect the public health and environment.Publicand council com ments were particularly con cerned with current ordinances that may allow oil drilling close to existing housing developments.

Harris said achieving this level of success has been one of his biggest blessings, and he hopes to give back to his hometown someday.
Jermaine Harris has dreamt of making it on the big screen since the fifth grade, and this year, all his dreams are coming true.
The 24-year-old Pittsburg native is currently in Chi cago, in his final days of shooting a new show for Disney+ called“It’s“Saturdays.”goingto be great,” Harris said of the familyfriendly show, which centers on a young girl growing up in Chicago who spends her Saturdays at a skating rink. “It takes you back to a different time, like ‘Fresh Prince’ and ‘Family Matters,’ … it’s a great show where you can watch it every week and feel like you know those characters.” Harris plays a brother to the main character and said he felt privileged to work on a show that hit a lot of ‘firsts.’
“He is exceptional,” Cyrus said. “He has a gift, ob viously, but he takes his craft very seriously and is very conscientious about it. And I think he has all the ingredi ents to be successful with what he does. He has the talent and the tenacity and the perseverance, and he is proud and happy with what he does.”

Pittsburg man pursues acting dreams in Los Angeles
Harris lives by those words to this day. After perform ing in the Christmas show, he continued to audition for roles in school performances, and began looking for big ger stages from Antioch to Berkeley.
“I’m constantly just working to be the best performer I can be. And eventually, one of my end goals is to make a film program in between Pittsburg and Antioch,” Harris said. “Essentially, I am the first of what I do to come from there, and I know others feel the same as I do but didn’t have the means to have the opportunities, because the only opportunities we have out there are in San Francisco or in Oakland. And even then, it’s slim to none. So I want to make a program where I can provide that resource vehicle so that dream doesn’t seem so far off.”
When he visits home, Harris likes to spend time with his family, catch a movie at Maya Pittsburg Cinemas, or take his grandmother to lunch at New Mecca Café.

Jermaine Harris, an actor from Pittsburg, is making his mark on Hollywood with a role in an upcoming Disney series.
For more information follow Harris on Instagram at @jermxine.
Once filming wraps up, Harris and the rest of the cast will head back to Los Angeles to begin promoting the show, which is scheduled to begin streaming next year. Before landing this job, Harris acted in “Bunk’d,” “The Map of Tiny Perfect Things” and “Ballers,” among others. Before transitioning into film acting, Harris took roles in stage productions all over the Bay Area. He was encouraged in his dream by his family, especially his mother, Nichol Turner.
“I was already performing before that because I was in dance, but I never considered acting,” said Harris. “I was not with it, I didn’t think I’d be good at it. But she said she thought I would be great and if I didn’t like it,

In 2017, during his second year at Columbia, he signed with CESD Talent Agency, eventually getting the part in “Saturdays.”

During a conservatorship, the court will generally appoint a “conservator of the person” and a “conservator of the estate”. The conservator of the person and the estate is sometimes the same individual, but can often be two separate people depending on the circumstances. The conservator of the person is tasked with making decisions regarding your health and well-being, whereas the conservator of the estate controls and manages your financial affairs.
While we may not be able to control our physical or mental health, we can control how our assets are used to care for us. If you would like me to review your Trust, we see people Monday – Friday for a FREE 30 minute consultation in Walnut Creek and Brentwood.

First, who will determine capacity? Some people want their spouse or child, along with an attending physician, to determine capacity. Other individuals wish to establish a “disability panel”, whereby chosen individuals or physicians will determine capacity.
Many people believe that the purpose of a Trust (sometimes referred to as a “Revocable Trust” or “Living Trust”) is to avoid probate. While this is correct, there is another very important reason to have a Trust. A Trust, if established properly, can also avoid a conservatorship in the event of incapacity.

Not only is the process of appointing a conservator overwhelming for family and loved ones, but the financial cost of appointing a conservator can be extremely burdensome. Currently, the cost of a conservatorship in California starts at approximately $10,000 and goes up rapidly depending on the circumstances.
HOW TO AVOID A CONSERVATORSHIP
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the CHP Inves tigation tip line at (707) 917-4491.
If a Trust is properly established and funded, all of an individual’s assets (or the majority of assets) will be held in the Trust and the Trust documents will contain specific incapacity provisions. These provisions will provide instructions to your Trustee as to how your affairs should be handled in the event of incapacity. To avoid a conservatorship, a Trust should include the following provisions:

Fourth, if a residential facility is necessary, do you know where you want to go? If that residential facility does not have any vacancies, have you thought about any alternatives? Without any of your guidance or input, these decisions are especially difficult on family and loved ones.

of something extremely rewarding, even more so than their daily service duties. They, much like myself, were deeply impacted and proud of their contributions towards accounting for the POWs and MIAs.
On behalf of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Department of California, we want to encourage everyone to recognize and honor these soldiers and their families. You can do so by holding ceremonies marking this day of remembrance and reminding your communities how important it is to think of these individuals on the 16th and every day. While it may be easy to overlook the role that veterans play each day in America, it is impossible to forget the ones who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Unfortunately, production costs for cultivated meat remain too high for it to truly compete with slaughtered meat. We can lower these with more government money for cellularagriculture development. Our legislators should support this for the sake of other animals, who carry a divine spark within them just as humans do. We can put the long era of killing behind us.
This day holds a special place in my heart. I was honored to be part of a Navy Construction Battalion — better known as the Seabees — that supported an MIA Recovery Team in Vietnam in 2002 by providing camp resources such as electricity, tents, and water.

Recognition Day is observed on Friday, Sept. 16. This day honors those who were prisoners of war and those who are still missing in action. It is an important remembrance of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in our country’s defense and remain unaccounted for.
If senators Alex Padilla and Dianne Feinstein have any compassion, they should help reduce the suffering of God’s creatures by supporting increased federal funding for cultivated-meat research. For those who aren’t familiar with the term, cultivated meat is grown from animal cells, without slaughter. We can start the work of building the peaceable kingdom.

Local esports tournament has serious talent
Heritage improved their record to 3-0 by beating Whitney 30-13 last Friday, Sept. 9.
Among the usual crowd are Sam and Adán Ortega Gonzalez, identical twin broth ers from Brentwood, and Heritage High

said Cruz, 24. “It’s really great to feel that I can help these kids have a place where they can come and express themselves in a way that they really can’t anywhere else. Here, they’re all very like-minded. It’s much easier for stereotypically ‘shy gamers’ to re ally come out and socialize. I think that’s really important, especially for people that are younger or in high school. There’s something about going to a community and socializing with people face to face that hu mans need, especially during growth.”
Rivers lauded his team for picking him up after his fumble. He also likened it to a mistake made earlier in the game, when a blitz allowed the Wildcats to score against an exposed secondary seconds before half time. “My team is great with chemistry,” Riv
“Honestly, I just love competing for the fun of it,” says Adán Ortega Gonzalez. “I love going to tournaments and feeling the thrill of ‘am I going to win?’ and getting better. I love improving in the game; I love playing against people that can challenge me, like really make me think when I’m playing.”Since venturing to tournaments across California, the Ortega Gonzalez brothers have placed several times in NorCal Power Rankings, California’s authority on smash professionals. With a recent sponsorship from BlinC eSports fitting them in snazzy customized jerseys and covering their travel costs and tournament fees, the duo looks forward to a great fall season. Sam sees their sponsorship as a huge incentive to keep improving and is even considering a career in Samesports.andAdán practice with each other

back Devon Rivers took a handoff and nearly scored from 15 yards out. Instead, Rivers was not only stopped before the goal line but fumbled, turning the ball back over to Whitney. Withthe ball inside of their own 1 yard line, the Wildcats were in a precarious spot. On the first play after the fumble, a bad snap got away from quarterback Trevor Hargis, who was in the shotgun. Hargis did recover the loose ball but stepped out of bounds, giving Heritage a safety and with it, a 16-7 lead. It also gave the Patriots immediate pos session of the ball with a chance to add to

School alumni. The two picked up smash at age 5 but began making a name for themselves in the competitive scene in their late teen years. After founding a Super Smash Bros. club at Heritage High, the brothers started traveling to local tournaments to develop their skills and seek tougher competition. Adán says his motivation for improvement is pure enjoy ment and love of the game.
Anthony Cruz, organizer and founder of Teasports, says smash culture is just as much about the game as it is about the com munity.“People have made best friends here,”

Each week, Teaspot, a popular Brentwood boba shop, hosts an esports tournament called Teasports, open to gam ers of all ages and skill levels. The video game played is Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (often called ‘smash’),” a platform fighting game released in 2018 for the Nintendo Switch. Smash Ultimate is the fifth iteration of the game, featuring a roster of 89 play able characters from various Nintendo titles and beyond.Sincethe original Super Smash Bros for the Nintendo 64 console debuted in 1999, grassroots competitive scenes have developed a loyal community and culture surrounding the series. Today, pro players travel the world to compete in major tour naments at hubs in Japan, the UK, and France, to name a few.

playing one-on-one matches at one of sev eral console set-ups. Players pay $10 to en ter, half of which is placed in a prize pool to motivate participants. The tournament is lengthy, often lasting 4-5 hours before a win ner is decided. Cruz said he reinvests some profits into the tournament for equipment needs, but most of it is spent on advertis ing. Cruz recently invested in gear to stream select matches online through Twitch, com plete with live commentary.
“There were a bunch of turnovers in this game, going both ways,” Heritage coach Dave Fogelstrom said. “It was a sloppy game and super hot outside this week. But you know what? You’ve got to win games like this. We’re 3-0. It’s where we wanted to be after tonight. Now we’ve got to get ready for Vintage next week.”

play. “It was just a nice little touchdown pass to TheKoen.”Wildcats appeared to claw back into the game on the next possession. They scored a touchdown to cut the lead to 23-13 and appeared to get even closer with a suc cessful two-point conversion, which would have made it a one-possession game with more than a quarter left. But that conversion was nullified by one of the offensive lineman getting too far past the line of scrimmage, resulting in an illegal man downfield penalty.
That showed throughout Heritage’s home game against Rocklin’s Whitney high school on Friday, Sept. 9, with mistakes be ing made throughout the game. But the Pa triots scored a touchdown on the game’s first possession and maintained a lead through out the rest of the game, coming away with a 30-13 victory over the Wildcats and improv ing their record to 3-0.
The Patriots started their next posses sion at midfield and moved inside of the Whitney 10 yard line. But the Wildcat de fense kept Rivers bottled up, leaving Heritage with a third-and-goal. The Patriots came out passing and with the defense seemingly fo cused on Rivers and senior receiver Jeremiah Ruffin, sophomore quarterback Austin Pe ters found senior tight end Koen Wolfe wide open in the end zone. The touchdown and ensuing PAT gave Heritage a 23-7 lead.
Whitney’s retry from five yards back was unsuccessful. Heritage then went on a 65-yard drive, which culminated on a touchdown run from Rivers, his third score of the game. Officially, it was a five-yard touchdown run, though through a change of direction and avoiding potential tackles, Rivers probably ran closer to 20 yards on the play. That touchdown and PAT gave Heri tage a 30-13 lead early in the fourth quarter, effectively ending the game.
A challenge facing football teams throughout California was remaining crisp through the week. The extreme heat lim ited what teams could do in practice, local coaches said, and, in some cases, prohibited teams from even practicing if the tempera ture is 105 degrees or higher.
What is your strength as a running back now?
Yes, for sure. Just finishing the big play. I think a lot of that is make that last guy miss or running past him for 20
What did you learn from last season’s success that you can improve upon this season? Is there anything you can im prove upon?
Honestly, I feel like I can do anything. As long as I can finish the play, I think great things will happen.
I just bought into what’s going on in the game and homed in on the little things. And I also have a great group of guys around me.
MIXON
Just dedicate yourself ... to your craft. Go that extra mile. At the end of the day, I did, and they can do it. You’ve got the blueprint; just follow the “yellow brick road.”
Any specific advice you would give the current running backs at your high school so they can be better this season?
Do you know Najee Harris of Antioch, whom you played on Sunday in the season opener?

Were you at all surprised at how well you did last season?
Is it more important for a running back to have more upper-body strength or lower-body strength, and why?
Any specific advice your high school coach told you dur ing your high school career that you continue to use today?
No. To be honest, I should have done better than I did. My goal is to just keep getting better each and every year.
The great ones -- they do a lot of the little things. They always make the first man miss. Everything I do in my game for me to do that.
handle loss as well; if you’re in a disadvan taged state you can’t let that get to you. You always have to think, ‘I can always turn this around; it’s not over just yet.’”
“Yes, we know each other. (On the field before the game), we just wish each other a good game and just keep doing what you’re doing.”
What is the difference between a good running back and a great one?
Duringdraft.the 2021 season, the Oakley native was the third-leading rusher in the NFL with 1,205 yards on 292 at tempts, and he scored 13 touchdowns.

Rivers scored three touchdowns on the night. His first came on the game’s first pos session, on a 22-yard run. Later in the first quarter, he scored on special teams with a 70-yard punt return.

He said that was on him, but ‘as long as you’ve got my back, I’ve got yours.’ That’s our little say ing. They definitely had my back on that but they picked us up. It was a great moment.”
“That’s a really good team right there,” the coach said of Whitney. “We had all kinds of guys cramping and limping. But nobody took themselves out of the game. We had guys who could barely run on the field in the fourth quarter. But we came out with a W and I’m so proud of them.”

The moratorium failed on a 2-2 tie vote with Pope and Meadows voting ‘no.’ A related proposal asking the county Board of Supervisors to ban oil drilling also failed without drawing even a second endorsement.Despite the public fireworks over oil, the council quietly approved through the consent calendar the purchase of a City Hall rooftop solar project that will cost $549,517. The solar power system is expected to offset 93 percent of electric ity use at City Hall. City staff estimated
about $48,500 in savings in the first year of operation, increasing each year. It is expected to be installed in 2023.

or really technical,” said Rosenfeld. “The price continues to fall. The only question that we have to ask ourselves is how do we get solar into the hands of schools, business es, and working class families? How do we attach it to a battery? Imagine if there was another 1.5 million rooftop solar installa tions. The price would go down some more. How do we make batteries so cheap and af fordable? Instead, the government is listen ing to utilities to say ‘slow it down, make it moreAccordingexpensive.” to Rosenfeld, the util ity companies don’t make much money on electricity alone. Their business model is built off of the construction of long distance power lines, where they have a deal in place with the state to get a guaranteed 7%-10% profit building long distance power lines throughout the state. In 2018, the efficiency of rooftop solar installations prompted the state to scale back more than 20 planned power line projects, thus saving the state $2.6 billion. The thought is that by maximizing rooftop solar installations, it could poten tially save ratepayers $120 billion over the next 30
In the meantime, while a final decision looms, hope remains that potential relief could be on the way, while disappointment is markedly evident in the planned tax pro posal.“I’m questioning why I added solar panels to my home,” added McLaughlin. “In part, it was to help the state achieve green energy independence. Now solar con nected homes are going to be penalized. This is counterintuitive to the states’ own goals at a time we are expected to switch to all elec tric vehicles and appliances in the very near future. You’re going to need many more rooftop solar installations, not less. Adding solar to my rooftop is putting energy back into the grid, why would you penalize us for that?”Rosenfeld added, “People are strug gling to pay their electricity bills and rooftop solar is the only thing that is allowing people to take control of their energy bill. Dialysis machines, ventilators, refrigerators for your meds. This is deadly serious. California is going big on these things like wind, biogas, and solar. The state says by 2035, it’s going to need 100GW of solar. We need to triple it over the next decade. We can’t do it off of solar farms alone. We need to pick up the pace with Furthereverything.”information on the solar rights movement can be found at https:// solarrights.org/.

“Thereyears.was so much energy efficiency that they canceled it,” added Rosenfeld. “That project got taken off the table, and they lost profits. If we can continue to grow rooftop solar and hybrid systems with bat teries, that would cut $120 billion out of the system. If you cut $120 billion out of the system and multiply that by 7%, that is a lot of bananas that they are going to lose out on.”
how rates are calculated for rooftop solar customers as their solar panels interact with the grid throughout the day, according to information from CPUC’s website on net energy metering. The CPUC issued a pro posal to modify this tariff in December 2021 with a successor tariff called the “Net Bill ing Tariff”. The proposal features four key components:•paying net billing customers for elec tricity they export to the grid based on value • charges net billing customers for the electricity they receive based off of high dif ferential time-of-use tariffs
Contra Costa District Attorney Diana Bectin filed murder charges on May 26 against Jones after meeting with Antioch and Oakley Police departments.

Solar installations have come a long way from where it used to be 15 years ago. According to Rosenfeld, solar installations were rare and used to cost $40 per watt. But with the continued and sustained growth of home solar installations, prices have fallen dramatically, currently costing about $3 or $4 per“Towatt.get solar before, you had to be rich
“It’s quite surprising that the CPUC is considering reductions in the net meter ing reimbursement and taxing residential consumers a per kW charge,” said retired Waste and Recycling Information Technol ogy Specialist Mike McLaughlin. “This will more than likely reduce solar installations going forward, making them less cost effec tive. I think we are looking at increased costs, which will impact future installations which go against the states’ ‘all electric’ goals.”
• creates a grid participation charge based on the size of a consumers’ solar system•provides a market transition credit al lowing customers to pay back the cost of a new solar system and storage energy system in less than 10 Accordingyears.toRosenfeld, the proposal was widely seen as a disaster, which included a $700 tax a year proposal and an 80% cut in credit consumers get with sharing energy in the grid, which would have doubled the cost of going solar. This resulted in a gigantic public backlash, with 600 nonprofits, cities, business, and community leaders all collec tively rejecting CPUC’s proposed changes, with over 150,000 California residents sub mitting written public statements opposing this proposal.According to the CPUC timeline, the agency adopted a decision extending the statutory deadline in this proceeding to Aug. 27, 2023. However, Rosenfeld said he believes a decision could be imminent.

more than 30,000 batteries statewide that can provide pollution-free electricity when use of the state’s electric grid is high and stressed.Apotential solar tax of between $300 and $600 a year, depending on the amount of solar energy that is produced, opponents argue, could make solar unaffordable for some as well as threaten many small busi nesses and jobs, according to the Solar Rights Alliance website. The average resi dential solar installations are 8kW, which could mean consumers would be charged an additional $64 for the typical customer connecting to the power grid. Furthermore, the credit that solar users receive could be slashed by 80 percent, opponents say, drop ping from 25 cents per kilowatt to five cents, and could roll back protections from exist ing solar users.
