Local school districts consider plans for possible reopening by Aly Brown Staff Writer
REGIONAL As COVID-19 infection rates changed this week, the options for returning to the classroom became clearer for the first time since the start of the pandemic. Announced Tuesday, Sept. 29, Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS) reported the county had downgraded from the state’s most restrictive purple tier (widespread transmission) to its less restrictive red tier (substantial transmission) — an indication that the virus in the region is less widespread than just the week before. This news came with additional reopenings of local businesses but also marked the beginning of possible change to come for the schools. CCHS noted elementary and

secondary schools can reopen for in-person instruction on Oct. 13 if the county remains in the red tier for two more weeks. Currently, elementary schools can apply for a
waiver from the health officer to reopen. While still in the purple tier last week, East County’s school district superintendents were well
aware that the targets for entering the red tier had been met in the county for the first time on Sept. see School page 22
Fire district supports Measure X “ It’s a call to action. There’s nothing (in the
by Tony Kukulich Staff Writer
REGIONAL The East Contra Costa Fire Protection District (ECCFPD) Fire Board unanimously approved a resolution in support of Measure X, a countywide sales tax initiative that, if passed, could play a significant role in the resolution of the district’s persistent service level challenges. Measure X, which will appear on the Nov. 2 ballot and requires a simple majority to pass, would assess a 0.5% sales tax across Contra Costa County for a term of 20 years. It is expected to generate more than $80 mil-

Girl soars to Eagle status by Dawnmarie Fehr Correspondent
DISCOVERY BAY Katie Neely of Discovery Bay has spent the past 20 months working toward a single goal: achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. Formerly known as Boy Scouts of America, BSA pivoted in February 2019 to allow girls to join its ranks. The organization also came up with a fasttrack program allowing girls who joined to complete the steps necessary to achieve the rank of Eagle Scout in approximately 20 months. Katie said she has been working hard to complete all necessary requirements and be counted part of the inaugural group of female Eagle Scouts. “I love Scouts so much,” Katie said. “It’s given me so many opportunities and so many different life skills . . . I just worked really hard, because I want to be in the first group of girls to get Eagle.” Katie’s work has paid off. She is currently in the process of completing her Eagle Project, a community board designed to help the honorees of Discovery Bay’s chapter of Helping One Woman (HOW). Before shelterin-place restrictions prohibited its activities, HOW hosted a monthly dinner for a woman who had suffered an irreplaceable loss. The monthly dinners would draw community support for the honorees and raise funds through ticket sales, raffles, auctions and donations. All funds generated would be handed to see Eagle page 22

erates three stations located in Brentwood, Oakley and Discovery Bay. The district’s strategic plan identified an existing need for six stations to provide a level of fire service in line with standards published by the National Fire Protection Association. Incident response times in the district regularly exceed national standards. Passage of the measure is no guarantee that the district will see any funding, much less the estimated $13.5 million a year needed to operate the three additional fire stations needed to serve the district’s current need.

City breaks ground on commercial building by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer
OAKLEY With a couple flicks of dirt, plans for a downtown commercial building were set in motion — literally. Project officials and city leaders broke ground on a future 10,000-square-foot onestory establishment at the northwest corner of Main Street and Norcross Avenue last week. The building, scheduled for completion in 2021, will likely be home to a future restaurant, coffee shop and retail establishments, although none have been publicly identified. “This is an exciting project for downtown Oakley,” said Mayor Kevin Romick. “It builds on what we already have and kind of fulfills our vision of our downtown-specific plan that we helped create with the citizens of Oakley a couple of years ago.” The 0.38-acre site was part of a larger 4.62-acre city acquisition in 2015, with 4.39 acres designated for a future proposed park and ride lot and the remaining acreage for commercial development on Main Street-

fronting land. R&R Pacific Construction Inc. purchased the 0.38 acres in June for around $120,000, after plans for a two-story, 21,033-square-foot medical and dental office died after that project’s leaders were unable to meet purchase agreement deadlines and close
on the property purchase. “We are really happy with how the (building’s) design has turned out,” said Abraxis Spera, a representative of project architect BIMtech Inc. “We made a special effort to make sure there was an active street front, a lot of opportunities for outdoor din-
ing and things of that nature.” It’s expected that the city will build a 300-space parking area, likely in phases, from O’Hara Avenue heading west toward ACE Hardware, that will serve all area businesses, as well as the future San Joaquin Joint Power Authorities train station platform north of Main Street, between Second Street and O’Hara Avenue. Romick noted that the building and future businesses will be a nice downtown addition. “It’s taken a long time, but I think we are getting to a population size where we are starting to attract businesses that want to come here,” he said. R & R Pacific Construction have completed several Oakley projects, including site work for the Oakley Recreation Center, Koda Dog Park and numerous street repair and resurfacing projects.

Edward Schuck running for Brentwood mayor
Yolanda Peña Mendrek running for reelection
Hello, my name is Edward Schuck, and I am asking for your vote to become the next Mayor of Brentwood. My wife and I grew up in Contra Costa County. As our family grew, we went looking for a community where we could feel safe raising our children and still afford to live. We found Brentwood. The clean streets, beautiful parks, lower crime rates, and friendly people make Brentwood the place we choose to call “home.” To our dismay, Brentwood is now struggling with many of the same concerns as the rest of the Bay Area. As a 10-year law enforcement veteran, I have watched as crime has seeped into Brentwood from surrounding communities. During my time working at Liberty High School as the on-campus deputy probation officer, I witnessed firsthand how our schools have been impacted by gang violence. Most recently, we have all seen the devastating wildfires come closer and closer to our homes and businesses, putting our critically understaffed fire fighters at risk and asking them to brave deadly hazards without the resources they need to protect us. A vote for me is a vote to support
My name is Yolanda Peña Mendrek, and I am running for reelection as trustee for the Liberty Union High School District (LUHSD). I hold teaching and administrative services credentials and a master’s degree in education. I have held positions as teacher, assistant principal and principal. I served as assistant principal at Liberty and Heritage high schools from 2000-2006. As an educator, I have positively touched the lives of students since 1994, making sure they are given opportunities to succeed. Students with special needs are provided customized services. English Language Learners are being redesignated faster, and their successes are celebrated with staff and families. All students are challenged to learn about the arts, sciences and core subjects. As president of the Liberty Union High School District, I have diligently served the students of our communities, creating policies that will ensure access to careers and college education. The students are served by highly qualified teachers who are committed to their success. I saw the passage of Measure U supported by our citizens. Improvements are taking place at the different

If elected, I will continue using my skills and experience in business and education to ensure LUHSD continues providing the best education to students.

My name is Faye Maloney, and I’m running for Brentwood City Council, District 1. I’m grateful and blessed to call Brentwood home after living in multiple continents. I love my city for its community, the opportunities it has afforded my family, and its uniqueness. I have dedicated my life to public service within the law enforcement profession into providing public safety. My choice was to advocate for children and those who are voiceless. I have been involved in advocacy within our state and our country’s capital to ensure communities are safe throughout our state and country. I have found a frustration in the lack of information dissemination from the national and state level to the local level. I want to utilize my experiences gained to enhance the quality of life of my community in Brentwood. This can be accomplished by collaboration with the community and surrounding jurisdictions, negotiation and maintaining transparency and accountability to the community we serve. My priorities are the following: • Public safety. • Supporting local business/ agricultural communities.

Conan Moats running for Oakley City Council
George Fuller seeks seat on Oakley council
Conan Moats, high school teacher, varsity tennis coach, playwright, husband and father has thrown his hat into the ring for the Oakley City Council contest. As a councilmember Conan’s priorities will include: • Breaking ground on a new library building in Oakley; • Re-establishing the Oakley planning commission; • Ensuring that development beyond the Urban Limit Line is not just discouraged but prohibited. We must protect our local wetlands and prevent sprawl. Moats has over twenty years teaching in public and private school. He currently is in his ninth year teaching economics, U.S. government civics and psychology at Deer Valley High School in Antioch. Conan coached Biddy Sports T-ball team in 2017-18 and has consistently cheered his boys’ soccer team “The Hurricanes,” often until losing his voice. He looks forward to more seasons working with the Oakley Soccer Academy when the social-distancing requirements due to COVID-19 are eased.
My name is George Fuller, and I am a retired teacher and police officer running for a first-time seat on the Oakley City Council. Oakley is a dynamic community with incredible potential for exhilarating growth. I am hearing residents of Oakley wanting a new direction for their city government officials. I am asking you to allow me to be an impetus for change in Oakley – a resilient path with integrity and accountability. There are five priorities I would like to address with your permission: They are 1) child care provided on a 24/7 basis. Parents will be returning to work post-pandemic. As those parents do so, the work schedules will be demanding, with many working more than one job to regain financial stability. Oakley needs to stand with its families and provide viable child care for its children. 2) Create a downtown park where families can enjoy picnics and strolls when they visit the area. The park would be in place of the “railroad station.” There is no longer a need for a “commuter train,” with a 300-car parking lot downtown. 3) Focus for the Oakley city government to provide “basic services.” Our tax money needs to
MOATS Conan’s introduction to Oakley city politics occurred when he fought to get speed humps put on Mellowood Drive. After working on the issue for over a year, speed humps were installed and his street feels much safer because of it. As Oakley grows, he is committed to traffic safety. He believes we need to widen Main Street to two lanes downtown and open another artery into the city to relieve traffic on Laurel Avenue. He says that a planning commission is Oakley’s best bet to grow smarter and allow the people to have a louder voice. – Submitted by Conan Moats

Chuiko running for Oakley City Council My name is Oleksii Chuiko, and my vision for Oakley is to keep the balance between our inevitable growth and the quality of life that we all value and enjoy. I have been a proud resident of Oakley for the last three years. Over this short time, I have grown to love our amazing community. Now that my wife and I are expecting our first, I couldn’t have asked for a better place to raise our child. I am running for Oakley City Council to bring a fresh approach and vision to our city, with emphasis on putting our families as the top priority. To me, this means support for our firefighters and police, the enforcement of local laws, regulations and ordinances, more efficient and accessible municipalities and businesses that will bring living-wage jobs and value to our community. I am tired of seeing the countless exceptional people leave California in search of a better life. As a city, we must become that beacon of hope for our county and for the Bay Area. I see incredible potential in our community, but we must be proactive to realize our goals. While we may have our fair share of challenges ahead, the
How do you sell your home if you have a lien on it? Well, it depends on what the lien is and how much. The definition of a lien is, “A legal claim on assets that allows the holder to obtain access to the property if debts are not paid.” By this definition, most homeowners already have at least TWO liens on their house right now – their mortgage and property taxes. Both of those will need to be paid in full to sell the home. There are other types of liens – unpaid income taxes (State or Federal), judgements from a lost court case, unpaid child support payments, etc. As long as the value of your home is greater than the payoff amounts of any liens and the closing/transaction costs, then the sale can go through and you get what’s left over. But what if the amount to payoff the liens is HIGHER than your home value? If this involves a mortgage, then you would apply for what’s called a “short sale” and try to negotiate a lower payoff amount.
CHUIKO question is not if we are going to solve them, but how. Together we can create a thriving city where youthful vigor and business opportunities work alongside our wellestablished agricultural community. Learn more about my plans at oc4oakley.com. – Submitted by Oleksii Chuiko
If it’s another kind of lien, you can try to negotiate with them. Either a lower payoff (called a “settlement”), or you work out a payment plan with them (often called an “offer in compromise”) so they accept less than full payoff now but you agree to make payments on the balance going forward but they release their lien on the property to let it close. Some liens are “blanket” liens, meaning the entity put a lien on anything you own. If you can show them there is no equity in your property due to their lien, they may give you a “partial release,” meaning they will release the lien from that property in order for the deal to close, but their lien remains against your name and any other assets you have.

Planning commission conflicted over 77-home project by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer
BRENTWOOD A divided planning commission will soon recommend the future of a proposed 77-home project south of the traffic circle at the Continente Avenue and Victoria Drive intersection. The commission, whose guidance will be forwarded to the council for a final decision, was deadlocked in September after the commission’s fifth member, Seana Fippin, was unable to finish the virtual meeting, postponing the final vote.
Commission members Dirk Zeigler and Emily Cross voted to approve the project, while fellow commissioners Anita Roberts and Cyndi Hankins were opposed after expressing concerns about the project’s fire district and school impacts. “It just seems like we are putting the cart before the horse and not addressing our systems that we need in order to protect the residents of Brentwood,” Roberts said. Project exploration documents, prepared by an outside agency for the city, projects that public service providers,
such as police and fire, could accommodate the additional service demands generated by the estimated new 248 residents. But the added school-age population — 16 new high school students, 25 new kindergarten through sixth graders and 10 new seventh- and eighth-graders — would strain the Liberty Union High and Brentwood Union school districts in their current state. The document notes that the Liberty Union High School District is already over capacity, with portables being used to accommodate the additional demand. The Brentwood Union School

District has room for 94 seventh- or eighth-graders but is over capacity for kindergarten through sixth grade by 635 students. “Of course, we will be getting fees, but our schools are overcrowded — a huge concern,” Hankins said. David Best, community development manager for applicant Shea Homes, said the company has voluntarily agreed to join a still-developing East Contra Costa Fire Protection Districtcreated community facilities district (CFD) that requires residents of future developments to pay annual fees toward additional station personnel. The fire district’s three-stations — one each in Brentwood, Oakley and Discovery Bay — cover 249 square miles and over 128,000 residents. The company will also install a traffic signal at the Walnut Boulevard and Continente Avenue intersection and pay agriculture mitigation fees, aimed at offsetting the loss of agricultural lands to new development. The project’s proposed 28.47-acre site — 25.59 acres designated for homes — was historically used for ag production before 2000. The city’s 2001 general plan designated the site for mixed-use business park development, although a 2014 city council-directed general-plan land-use map amendment redesignated 25.59 acres for future low-density residential development, with the remaining 2.88 acres remaining for future business park use. “We have been building in Brentwood for quite a long time,” Best said. “We have a lot of history in the city. I think most of it has been good.” Zeigler, who recommended project approval, hinted that Shea’s willingness to pay fees to address development impacts factored into his decision. “The fact they are going to be paying into the fees and helping to pay, whether impact or CFD fees, doesn’t mitigate the problems of Brentwood, but it certainly helps,” he said. At least two city residents, however, said they are afraid the project could generate unavoidable negative impacts. Resident Sinziana Todor expressed a wide range of concerns, including increased traffic, school impacts, loss of agricultural land and a lack of projectassociated roadway improvements. “Adding more homes at this point in time is just not going to work,” she said. Fellow resident and Brentwood Council candidate Jovita Mendoza had public safety concerns. “My concerns are with fire,” she said. “It’s one of our biggest issues.” The planning commission is scheduled to make a recommendation on the project at a future meeting.

Our appreciation has escalated for things we take for granted like going to the store, playing tennis, shopping, movies, going out to dinner and visiting with our friends. It is true that many of our businesses are suffering, but we can’t wallow in self-pity. Now is the time to help others or to be helped by others.

Vote for Susannah Meyer Brentwood Council
Editor: It is time for the City of Brentwood to take action to prioritize the health and well-being of our vulnerable senior citizens. I am a retired clinical social worker who spent many years working in Brentwood at John Muir Health in the Senior Services department. During that time, I witnessed firsthand the long-standing lack of support for our local disadvantaged seniors. Many are financially needy. This impacts everything from access to health care, nutrition, transportation and social engagement. These unacceptable disparities have been magnified as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, the Meals on Wheels program traditionally delivered meals to homebound seniors five times a week. Now it is only once a week. Many seniors neglect their health because they have no way to get to the doctor. Bottom line, it is easy to overlook a segment of our community that can seem and often is invisible. I believe that Brentwood is better than that. Although there are services out there to help, accessing them is often not so easy. For example, many times a computer is required. Access to a computer and wifi is a basic service that’s out of reach for many seniors. Not to mention, learning how to use them. The number of seniors who live alone is significant. The same applies to those with mobility issues. Building a strong network and partnering with existing senior services is a good place for the city to begin to tear down barriers and improve quality of life for our seniors. Establishing a designated local senior outreach service would be a win-win program. Oh, and don’t forget the army of talented senior volunteers that would line up to serve! So how do we as a community move towards accomplishing these goals? One important step is to use your vote to

Where does Frazier stand?
Editor: It’s never “people before politics” as Assemblyman Jim Frazier’s campaign reelection sign advertises. Two weeks ago (early September), I had called Mr. Frazier’s office to ask where he stood on issues affecting our community and our state. The young gentleman who answered did not know the answers and said he would have someone who could provide details on Mr. Frazier’s stand on the issues call me back. I never received that call. So, either no one in Mr. Frazier’s office knows where he stands on critical issues; such as social justice issues, rioting, looting, defunding the law enforcement, safety of our community, the reopening of our schools or inflammatory comments made by Gov. Newsom; or, Mr. Frazier himself doesn’t know where he stands and hides behind the COVID-19 “work from home” policy. As a constituent of Mr. Frazier’s, I demand more of my representative in Sacramento, as all of his district should. It’s time to vote out Mr. Frazier and elect a people’s representative who will represent us, not their own political power and politics as usual. Jack Ryan Fremont

years; in an open letter like this it is common to state many of a candidates strength. Smart, dedicated, knowledgeable; all of which are true. There are however other things that truly separate Angela from the field. Her skill set includes the rare ability to listen and engage with people. She is companionate in solving challenges but does so with a strength that communicates the core of the issues so that all know they have been heard, and then she demonstrates the reasoning that goes with the decision. These are traits not often seen today but traits we all are looking for in our elected officials. I urge you to take a second to know her and you too will understand why she deserves your vote and trust. Chris Hoot Orinda
How is this traffic safety?
Editor: It appears that Caltrans has started to destroy the current stop light at that intersection and to replace it with another one of those idiot traffic circles (roundabout). So currently, those going northbound on Highway 160 have three lanes: a left turn lane, a straight ahead lane toward Isleton, and a right turn lane to head eastbound on Highway 12. So once the traffic circle is completed, this northbound lane becomes a single lane. So if the bridge toward Rio Vista is up waiting for a boat and the car in front is waiting to end up eastbound on Hwy 12, then all through traffic and eastbound Highway 12 traffic that previously would have been able to wait for the light and proceed, must now wait for the bridge to go down, or I guess they can drive on the shoulder to go around this nonsense. Could someone explain to me how this is an improvement to traffic safety and to lower costs? Jeff Miller Oakley
Lowrey is the best choice
Editor: Voting isn’t easy. It shouldn’t be … not ever. But it’s even harder this year. Before marking my ballot, I’m prepared to do lots to read about the ballot issues and candidates. I get started early and listen to differing opinions. Normally I would go to meetings that feature the candidates and ask them my unanswered questions. But this can’t happen with the current COVID-19 situation. That’s why I’m so happy to see someone I already respect on the ballot. Angela Lowrey is running for a seat on the Ironhouse Sanitary District (ISD) Board. As a homeowner in Oakley, I was angry when the ISD board recently passed a close to $300 increase in the Sewer Use Fee for all single-family homes (from $658 to $934). It isn’t so much the fee increase itself, but that it was pushed through during a Zoom meeting that was barely publicized and nearly impossible to view. Instead of seething with the unfairness of the under-the-radar decision, Angela chose to make a difference and stand up for what is right for the community and the Delta’s environment. What I didn’t realize was this: Angela has experience as an award-winning wastewater management professional in East Contra Costa County for 11 years! She will think outside the box to find state and federal grants to improve services without constantly expecting the citizens of Oakley to pay for any and all projects. My thanks to Angela Lowrey for stepping up and sharing her expertise and passion for making Oakley the best it can be. She knows the importance of the wastewater industry and has a passion for making ISD work efficiently and effectively. Voting for Angela Lowrey for a seat on the ISD board is actually going to be easy. Barbara Santos Oakley

Cheryl Lynn Lange
July 1, 1956 – Sept. 1, 2020 Cheryl Lynn Lange, longtime resident of Bethel Island, passed away at her home on Sept. 1, 2020, at the age of 64. Cheryl was born in Valparaiso, Indiana, on July 1, 1956, and moved to Knightsen with her family as a young child. Cheryl was a graduate of Liberty Union High School in Brentwood. Cheryl worked as a manager for Chevron, was also employed by BART and held other jobs in Contra Costa County.

Sharon Eileen (Behrens) Ray
Sharon’s passion and love for God and her desire to bring people to Christ and further their understanding of God’s grace led her to start and lead many bible studies – earlier in Nevada and later, at Resurrection Ministries. Sharon’s other passion continued to be painting in acrylics. Being inspired by God’s creation, she especially liked to paint landscapes. She gave many of her paintings away to family. Sharon is survived by husband, Chuck Ray; daughter, Michelle Campbell of Denver, CO; and grandchildren, Conner of San Gabriel, CA, and Alaina of Denver, CO. She is survived by siblings, Tessa Haley of Bremerton, WA; Brenda Behrens of Pasadena, CA; and Bret Behrens of Comox, BC, Canada. Because of the COVID-19 crisis, a celebration of Sharon’s life will be scheduled at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider supporting Hospice of the East Bay, 3740 Buskirk Ave., Pleasant Hill, CA.
Sharon Eileen (Behrens) Ray died at the age of 78 due to lung cancer at her home in Brentwood on Sept. 7. Sharon loved being a homemaker and cook, and she loved hosting family gatherings. She will be remembered by her family and the members of her churches; Trinity Lutheran in Gardnerville, NV; First Lutheran in Concord, CA; and Resurrection Ministries in Brentwood. While in Nevada, Sharon was the CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) Coordinator for Douglas County, where she trained and supervised advocates in support of abused children and children of divorced or incarcerated parents. One of Sharon’s joys was found in caring for the best interests of children.

Victoria G. Nyberg
Aug. 15, 1927 – Sept. 18, 2020 Victoria (Vickie) passed away peacefully in her home, surrounded by her loved ones on Friday Sept. 18. She was 93 years old. She is survived by her husband of 42 years, Robert Nyberg Senior; her two daughters, Marian and Francine Harrison; stepchildren, Robert and David Nyberg, Michael Vaticano, Debbie Whitehurst, Sharon Johnson; her sisters, Martha Lemos, Rosie Lopez, Berta Boccio; brothers, Sedro and Eddie Domingo; as well as many nieces, nephews and step-grandchildren. Predeceased in death by her mother and father, Marion and Francis Domingo; her brother, Marion Domingo; and son, George R. Ball. Victoria (Vickie) was a butcher for most of her life starting at age 17 at Center O Mart in Oakley. She retired at age 55 from United Consumers Market in Pittsburg, California. She was the only female butcher in all of East County in her day. Although an extremely hard profession, Vickie really enjoyed what she did; many of her customers would come
from all over just to buy meat from her, say hello and to catch up. She spent most of her life in Antioch but lived in Clearlake for 28 years where she enjoyed her retirement with her husband. She was very active in the Sons of Italy lodge and enjoyed working at the local school in the kitchen. She moved back to Antioch in 2009. She was so full of life, always giving and caring. She was a wonderful mother not just to her own children but to so many other children as well. And when an opportunity knocked on her door to watch over two baby girls, she was so happy and became a special Nana to Jennifer and Erica Villarreal. She had a special essence about her; she had an internal love that would radiant outwards to all that knew and loved her. Her smile would light up a room; her personality and calm nature would always make you feel at ease, and the sound of her voice was home. She was a special gift to all of us. We feel so blessed to have had her for so many wonderful years. The family would like to give a special thanks and gratitude to John, Victoria and Anthony Rich for all your loving care through these last three years. Requested by the family, there will be no service.

The show highlights a group of kids in a small town who stumble upon a bizarre world referred to as “the upside-down.” The upside-down is a dark, mixed-up and Hangin’ in evil place where nothing makes sense, here and you never know what horrible thing is going to happen next. Oh, your friends are there, and familiar places like the local grocery store, lulling you into the false Vicki sense of security McKenna that everything is normal, but something is really off. Sound familiar? I believe we are all trapped in the upside-down right now, and I am not sure when anything is ever going to be normal and right-side up. The last six months have been a struggle for everyone on many levels. I have learned a lot about myself. For starters, I have discovered that I can sleep for 11 hours straight. I have learned that trying new recipes off the internet rarely turn out like the pictures and often are just flat out inedible. Most importantly, I have learned that I am going to have to come up with something to do outside the house when my husband retires. It has been a revealing time. I have also learned to avoid two words. These words are powerful and somehow have the ability to conjure up bad things. The two words are — and I hate to even type them — “what next?” I didn’t realize it at first. I said it jokingly to the lady standing behind be at the grocery store. We both were fidgeting with our uncomfortable facemasks. She was clearly exasperated. “What next?” I said, trying to offer solidarity. That night riots and civil unrest broke out all across the country. Shop owners feverishly boarded up windows. People were hoarding toilet paper again. A curfew was announced. It was another lockdown, but with violence. The next day, I returned to my local grocery store. It was only 4 p.m., but because of the boarded-up windows, it felt like 10 p.m. I had to pick up a prescription. My pharmacist friend, Rosalinda, was behind the counter quickly clearing out all the prescription drugs and throwing them into a large trash bag. She told me they were afraid there might be a rush of looters any minute. “What next?” I said in shock and disbelief. “Pray,” she offered as she took off through the back door. “What next?” lingered in the air.
T
Sunday morning, 6 a.m. It was still dark outside, but a flash of light woke me. What sounded like a loud bomb shook our home, and it continued for two hours. One of the strongest lightning storms I have ever experienced — and I am from the Midwest — was upon us. The dogs were in a frenzy trying to find a place to hide. My parakeets were squawking, and the cats were fighting each other for a spot under the bed. Then, torrential rain. I thought it might rain frogs. Finally, the storm subsided. When my family emerged from their bedrooms, all I could say was, “What next?” Thunder clapped loudly. For a short while, things were calm, but then came the strangest day of all. I opened my eyes. I sensed that it was morning, but it was still dark outside. Wait. It wasn›t dark, it was orange, ominous and scary. I decided to close my eyes and go back to sleep. I didn’t want to even look at it. The faint smell of smoke filled the bedroom. I did not hear the familiar chirping of birds as I always do in the morning. No sound of cars starting up as my neighbors headed to work. Just orange silence. I decided it must either be the end of the world, or aliens taking over the world. Either way, I decided to get up out of bed and look out the window. It truly did look like the upside-down. Then I spotted something moving along the side of my neighbor’s house across the street. It was a bobcat. It stealthily made its way through the tall bushes near the open space next to our court. Was I under the influence of some powerful hallucinogenic? I couldn’t believe my eyes. I grabbed my binoculars and scanned the open space for any sign of the bobcat, but he was gone. For the record, Maury mentioned that other neighbors had seen it too. “What next?” I uttered under my breath. I still had not learned my lesson. A few days later, swarms of yellowjackets invaded our backyard. They were teeming all over my numerous hummingbird feeders...hundreds of them! They appeared out of nowhere. It was like an Alfred Hitchcock movie. They were aggressive, and it wasn’t just the feeders they were after. When I opened my car door to leave for the store, a large swarm entered the car with me. I panicked, swatting at them as they buzzed loudly around my head. I escaped without getting stung, but I had to open every door, window and my trunk to get them out. Mysteriously, the next day, they completely vanished. So, I am officially abstaining from those two powerful words for now, and you may want to as well. At least until we escape the upside-down.

Heritage soccer star flourishes on the field by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer
Heritage High School soccer star Jayden Sanders admits she’s shy. But her on-field talent is attracting attention. The two-time all-Bay Valley Athletic League center back has verbally committed to Oregon State University, despite having played only two high school seasons. “My eyes were always on Oregon State, so when I got the call on June 15, I was ecstatic because that was the one call that I really, really wanted,” said Sanders, who also plays for the West Coast Soccer Club and the Olympic Development Program. The tall, athletic defender with blazing speed caught the Pac-12 school’s attention at a February camp — sealing her offer — but has been proving her on-field skills pretty much since she began organized play around age 5. Long before she was a Heritage star — garnering all-Bay Valley Athletic League second team honors as a freshman and all-league first-team recognition as a sophomore — she was turning heads as a member of the Impact and AJAX soccer clubs. “In the moment it felt great (standing out), but I always felt I could get better,” she said. “There were always girls that I

would look up to, especially when I was on the younger teams. I would say, ‘I want to be like her, start doing things like her, go up the field’ — this and that. It motivated me to get better and use my strengths to execute what I wanted to do.” Heritage Athletic Director Nate Smith praised Sanders on Twitter after her announcement. “Congrats Jayden!” he wrote on Twitter. “You are a pleasure to watch out there on the field, while making sure to excel in all other areas of life as well. Looking for-
ward to your final two high school seasons before you move on to the Pac-12!” Sanders’ continued success in the game is all hers, but it could also have a little to do with her past and a bit of luck. As a rambunctious child, her cousin used to take her to the park to play soccer. When she later asked her parents if she could begin playing organized soccer, and they said yes, her successful future was set in motion. However, her confidence to shoot for a big-time college opportunity didn’t fully blos-
som until she secured a spot on the varsity squad as a freshman in high school, she said. She remembers thinking then, “I can play with the big dogs.” “I was like, I can really do this,” she said. “That is when I started going to ID camps and going to bigger tournaments. It made the dream (of playing college soccer) a little more realistic and closer.” In time, Sanders’s collegiate playing aspirations will come to fruition. She revealed that she’d had discussions with other schools but fell in love with the Pac-12 school after meeting the coaching staff and team during the February camp. “I definitely think about playing with the best girls in the country,” she said. “The Pac-12 is one of the hardest leagues to get into, definitely the best players and play in this league. I get to play against Stanford, UCLA, all the good teams and some of the bigger name schools.” Sanders noted that playing center back isn’t a glamorous, frequent goal-scoring position, but it likely shot her to stardom by allowing her to showcase her stellar speed and 1-v-1 defending skills. The game also brings out a unique side of Sanders. see Soccer page 15
Alum briefly returns to the big leagues Heritage High School graduate Paul Blackburn, now a pitcher in the Oakland A’s organization, was recalled from the team’s alternate site to make a big league start on Sept. 26. The 6-foot-1, 196-pound righthander went 2 1/3 innings, surrendering seven runs on five hits in the A’s 12-3 loss, his first appearance for the team this season. He was optioned back to the team’s alternate site the following day. Blackburn has appeared in 21 big league games — all with the Oakland A’s — over four seasons, compiling a 5-7 record with a 5.69 ERA and 51 strikeouts in 99.2 innings. He spent roughly six days on A’s ’s active roster in August, but didn’t appear in any games. The Patriots alum was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the first round of the 2012 amateur draft (56th overall) out of high school, before he was traded to the Seattle Mariners in 2016 and to the A’s later that year. He broke into the big leagues in July 2017 with the A’s, after playing for seven teams in the rookie league and all the way up to triple A.

Heritage alum Paul Blackburn, seen here in 2017, recently made a spot start for the Oakland A’s. In all levels of professional baseball, the 26-year-old has racked up a 50-33 record with a 3.77 ERA and 488 strikeouts in 732 innings.
In 2014, Excelsior Middle School hosted the first Byron Invitational Boys’ Volleyball Tournament. The tournament featured teams from Excelsior, Edna Hill, Knightsen and Adams middle schools. The round-robin, poolplay tournament allowed each team to play three matches. The squads were seeded based on their records. With the championship on the line, Knightsen took out Edna Hill, winning 25-21, 25-22. Excelsior took third place and Adams fourth. The winning team featured Lance Fisher, Erik Quintero, Colton Huelsmann and Jake Hernandez.

“In soccer, I have a different personality,” she said. “I am way louder and way more aggressive. A different part of myself comes out, which I typically like the style of a little bit more. It’s a little more energetic and funny.” Going forward, Sanders says she’s ecstatic to receive the Beavers’ offer and has aspirations to play professionally, but plans to make full use of her two remaining high school seasons. Beyond getting back in physical shape and shaking off any rust with her teammates —side effects of the pandemic-induced stoppage of play — she said she hopes to improve her on-field communication skills. “I don’t like hurting people’s feelings, but it’s a sport and my teammates know how I am,” Sanders said. Sanders is likely to return to full contact action when her West Coast Soccer Club squad heads to Utah in October for a tournament. Beyond that, Heritage team workouts are expected to begin, and she’s looking for big things from the Patriots this season. Heritage’s first official practice date is set for late February, with the season commencing soon after. Under new head coach Arnol Arceta, the team will shoot for its 14th straight playoff appearance this season and could return a quality core, including Makeila Yancey, Kaya Scott and all-league players Sanders, Sabrina Rogers, Hailey Hamataka and Renny Buchanan. The Patriots reached the North Coast Section quarterfinal last season before falling to top-seed Carondelet 4-1. “I think we have a really good chance of winning the Bay Valley Athletic League and going on to play in the North Coast Section playoffs, and going farther than we have the last two years,” Sanders said. “I do expect a lot more out of us this year. The girls are all amazing and with the new coaching, the new girls coming in and everyone excited to come back. I think it will be really special this year.”

Meet the Administrator by Dawnmarie Fehr Correspondent
Feature: Andrew Lonsdale, Liberty High School Athletic Director
Agency: Liberty Union School District Andrew Lonsdale spent last year coaching boys’ baseball at Liberty High School, and this year added athletic director to his list of responsibilities. As the school’s new head of athletics, Lonsdale is eager to get his hands dirty in all the sports he can – as soon as they are allowed to begin. “So far it’s been challenging, because we haven’t had any sports yet,” Lonsdale admitted. “But I love the fact that I get to interact with all the teams now, as opposed to just the baseball team. And I get to have a vision for the whole athletic program and know more about the inner workings of the district. I’m sure once sports get going again in full swing, I’ll love being at all the games.” Lonsdale brings almost a decade of coaching experience to the table, as well as a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology, a master’s degree in education and a teaching credential in physical education. He is using his time to get settled into his new position and prepare his coaches for sports to begin in December under all necessary safety protocols. Before coming to Liberty, Lonsdale coached baseball at Dublin High School in the Tri-Valley. When he heard about the position in Brentwood, he was eager to apply. “Brentwood is very sports-oriented and very behind their sports, and when I got the opportunity to work here, I jumped on it,” Lonsdale said. “That’s the kind

of community you want to be a part of, especially as a coach and athletic director.” In addition to his administrative duties, Lonsdale teaches three sections of foundations for success, a life skills course for freshman students. He said he enjoys having an impact on students and being a positive influence. Lonsdale played baseball for Castro Valley High School, then Cal State Monterey Bay. His hobbies include golf, mountain biking and running. His students are likely to run into him working out at Orangetheory, getting a burrito at La Costa or a burger at Sticky Chicken and Ribs. “I’m going to work really hard and try to do the best job I can,” he said of his new station. “I’m really thankful to have this position, and I will work hard to make sure Liberty High continues to be the upstanding athletic program it’s been.”

TOP 5 TRUST ADMINISTRATION MISTAKES
by Joan Grimes, Esq.
Trust Administration is a process most families must undergo after the death of a parent to administer the trust estate and distribute the assets. By nature, the process can be emotional and stressful. Here is a list of the top 5 trust administration mistakes we see clients make: 1. Premature Distribution of Assets. Truth be told, soon after the death of a loved one, everyone is eager to receive their inheritance. Often times, a crisis suddenly “appears” and a beneficiary starts demanding money. Succumbing to the pressure, the Successor Trustee tries to be the good guy and distributes the assets before realizing there are more expenses. Successor Trustees should NOT distribute any assets until they have a complete understanding of the trust administration and all expenses. When in doubt, the Successor Trustee should hold back a sufficient reserve for final expenses. 2. Distribution of Assets without a Written Agreement. Assets should NEVER be distributed without a written agreement signed by all beneficiaries agreeing to the terms of the distribution and approving all expenses incurred to date. The cost for an attorney to prepare this agreement is peanuts in comparison to the cost of litigation after there is a dispute among beneficiaries. 3. Failure to Keep Records. The Successor Trustee is often overwhelmed by the amount of work that is involved in a trust administration. Tasks include selling real property, opening and closing various financial accounts, paying bills, and communicating with the beneficiaries. If you are a Successor Trustee, you must keep thorough records either through Quickbooks (or similar software) or you should hire a bookkeeper. As a Successor Trustee, you have a fiduciary duty to the beneficiaries
and that duty includes the duty to account for all monies in the estate. As the Successor Trustee, you must be able to account for every dollar. 4. Failure to Pay Yourself. In the beginning of the process, the Successor Trustee usually says, “I do not need to be compensated.” Never say this! If, at the end of the trust administration, you still do not want compensation, then you can waive your fees. However, by the end of the administration, rarely does any Successor Trustee waive their fees. Administering a trust, is a lot of work! Only single children should waive their fees. 5. Failure to give Proper Notice under the Law. Under California law, a Successor Trustee is required to give a formal notice under Probate Code Section 16061.7 to all trust beneficiaries and legal heirs. Until the notice is given and the time has expired, the beneficiaries and legal heirs can bring an action to contest the terms of the trust. It is important that this notice is properly served and time has expired prior to any distribution of assets. If a beneficiary contests the terms of the trust, the Successor Trustee may use trust monies to defend the trust instrument. Being a Successor Trustee is a lot of work and comes with significant personal liability. If you are in doubt as to whether you or your Successor Trustee is doing something correctly, seek legal counsel. If you have questions about trust administration, 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. Information contained is not a substitute for a personal consultation with an attorney.

22. While keeping a pulse on the regularly scheduled Tuesday announcements from CCHS, school leaders began disseminating information for families about the possibilities of a hybrid return. In the Liberty Union High School District (LUHSD), which oversees Brentwood and Oakley high schools, Superintendent Eric Volta said the soonest his district could reopen after receiving approval from the state, would have been Oct. 28 — given its current labor agreements. However, he further explained that, rather than trying to navigate around the Thanksgiving break, his district will aim for January. “In short, to balance the physical safety of our employees and students with the academic, social and emotional health of our students and staff, I recommended to the board that we set a return date of Jan. 12,” Volta said. “By waiting until January, our site leaders will be able to solicit ideas from their leadership groups on-site regarding the reopening and the hybrid schedule. We will also have the time to take the necessary administrative measures to welcome our students.” The next board meeting for the LUHSD is set for Oct. 21. “After we officially enter the red tier and stay for two weeks without numbers going backward, the (Brentwood Union School District) Board is allowed to con-

sider reopening schools in a hybrid model,” Brentwood Superintendent Dana Eaton stated in a letter home to families. “This does not mean the board will choose to reopen our schools, only that it will be legally possible for them to consider it. Please keep in mind that even in the red tier, the risk level remains ‘substantial’ and warrants continued focus on preventing community spread of the virus.” Should the state allow a return to school and the board approves a hybrid learning environment, part-time, in-person education could take place in elementary and middle school campuses in Brentwood. Eaton noted there is currently no path for a full reopening. The next Brentwood Union School District Board meeting is also slated for Oct. 21. School districts in Oakley and Byron are following a similar course of action as their neighbors. Byron Superintendent Reyes Gauna noted he does not have a reopening date set yet, but his team will continue to work with the board trustees and staff on plans. “I am very happy to see that our county is trending in the correct direction, especially from a health and safety perspective for our students, families and community members,” Gauna said. Oakley Union Elementary School District (OUESD) Superintendent Greg Hetrick reiterated that Oakley will not

As a general tax measure, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors (BOS) is prohibited from specifying how those funds will be disbursed until after the measure’s passage. “If (the BOS) said, ‘Hey, we’re going to give 15% of the collected money to the fire district,’ that could solve a large part of our problem — 5% could maybe fund one station,” said Joe Young, ECCFPD fire board director. “It has the ability to address and help our problem. Whether or not it does is going to depend on how the five supervisors feel about it, if the money is available and how they prioritize the spending ... It could go a long way toward helping us out.” While the county supervisors are prevented from discussing specific plans for the use of Measure X funds, possible uses are presented in the Contra Costa County Needs Assessment that accompanies the measure. It identifies potential recipients like the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and other programs like early childhood development and housing assistance. It also calls out the needs of the ECCFPD and references the degree to which the district leans on the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (ConFire) to provide assistance.

the honoree at the end of the evening. Katie explained the community board will be a place for people to extend additional help to those in need beyond their one evening with HOW. “For example, a carpenter may donate time to modify a house for wheelchair access, a teacher or college student may offer their time to tutor a child or sibling, or a hairdresser may offer to style wigs for a cancer patient,” Katie said. “People who have come to our dinners have expressed the desire to help . . . this community board will represent all of those willing to help.”
“ By waiting until January, our site leaders will be able to solicit ideas from their leadership groups on-site regarding the reopening and the hybrid schedule. We will also have the time to take the necessary administrative measures to welcome our students.

Eric Volta, Liberty Union High School District superintendent make hasty decisions with regard to a return. Over the fall break and beyond, Hetrick said the district will continue to monitor the rate of transmission and the status with the county. He noted that, while the OUESD has not yet set a return date, that will be part of the discussion with the board in its next meeting, also set for Oct. 21. “The discussions will factor all of the human elements, all of the physical
The assessment states, “To ensure community health, fire districts across the county must operate efficiently and effectively. Since July 2017, a lack of funding in East Contra Costa has resulted in the operation of only three East County stations covering 259 square miles and over 120,000 residents. This lack of resources has placed additional pressure on neighboring fire districts, mainly the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District.” A countywide poll was conducted after the completion of the needs assessment to determine the level of public support for potential Measure X beneficiaries. More than 90% of respondents supported funding firefighting and emergency preparedness services. Broad support was also indicated for a range of public health services including the prevention of child abuse, expansion of access to mental health care and expansion of senior services. “I am interested in seeing if Measure X will pass, if the voters are interested in supporting it,” said Contra Costa County District 3 Supervisor Diane Burgis. “If it passes, I would follow the mandates indicated in the polling and advocate for East Contra Costa.” In the three years since Helmick took the reins of
Debbie Neely, Katie’s mom and a founding member of HOW, noted the board will bring these donated services to the women who need them. “The thought is there are people out there with skills do to this stuff who might want to volunteer, maybe a few hours, maybe a certain time of year,” Neely said. “This way, Katie would bridge the gap between the people in the community who have these skills and the people in the community who need the help.” Neely also expressed the hope that community members looking to hire workers would check the board and patronize companies who support the local commu-

elements, and will be accompanied with a potential timeline for any recommended changes or transitions,” Hetrick said. “In addition, any and all changes must be worked through and negotiated with all bargaining units and will have the safety and well-being of all staff, all students and all community members at the forefront. All of this will take time, be done thoughtfully, carefully, and be discussed and shared openly with all stakeholders.” The state’s four-tier system rating virus transmission includes: tier 1, purple (widespread); tier 2, red (substantial); tier 3, orange (moderate); and tier 4, yellow (minimal). In order to move into the more permissive red tier, the county had to see average case rates drop below 7 per 100,000 people and testing positivity rates dip below 8%. For the past two weeks, Contra Costa has met those benchmarks. As of Sept. 29, the case rate was 6.7 per 100,000 people and the testing positivity rate was 3.7%. “The credit really belongs to the residents of Contra Costa, who have adapted to the new normal and modified their lifestyles to reduce the spread of COVID in the county,” said Dr. Chris Farnitano, CCHS health officer.

the district, he has eschewed short-term funding solutions to long-term problems. A pattern of using temporary funding streams in previous years to hire and train firefighters led to layoffs when the revenue evaporated. With the BOS unable to commit to specific funding levels before the passage of Measure X, Helmick said that a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the district and county would be required. The MOU would provide the district a guaranteed revenue stream to support long-term planning and operations. “If it’s really going to do us any good, it has to be structured,” said Young. “It has to meet our sustainability objective and it has to meet our adequacy objective.” Passage of Measure X is not a foregone conclusion, though polling has shown strong support among county voters. “It’s an ask,” said Brian Oftedal, ECCFPD fire board president. “It’s a call to action. There’s nothing (in the measure) that says they’re going to give us even one station, let alone two or three stations. But this could be a long way toward a solution. With the recent CCCERA win and the BOS help, we could get pretty close to resolving a problem that has been a fire district issue for decades.”
nity. The board is also a way for HOW to continue to support women during the pandemic, when they cannot host their dinners. Katie is currently working to raise money for her project, which will cost approximately $1200. Any funds left over will be given directly to HOW. Brandy Woolman is the HOW Discovery Bay chapter leader. She has worked with Katie to help bring this project to fruition and said the board will be a wonderful tool for HOW. “(Katie) knows that we have a community full of people who want to help beyond just attending our dinners,” Woolman said. “The community board meets
this need and will give our recipients a way to find additional resources that they may need . . . from the start of this project, Katie has kept me informed, asked questions when needed and has followed through on everything she committed to. She is building great leadership skills and I am really proud of her and super excited for to roll out this community board when it is completed.” For more information on Katie’s project, or to donate, visit https://www. howeagleproject.com/.

WE’RE HIRING
Joe Young running for fire district board My name is Joe Young and I am running for reelection to the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District (ECCFPD) Board of Directors. My wife and I moved to Brentwood 12 years ago. I’ve given back to the community through volunteer services as a volunteer director of ECCFPD, as president of our homeowner’s association where I manage an $8 million dollar budget and as a certified AARP volunteer preparing tax returns for low-income seniors. Now, as one of our first elected fire district directors, I am improving our fire service. I figured out how to finance three new fire engines just placed into service. I found $6 million dollars lost in the county system. I served on the ad hoc committees for the City Gate Report identifying district needs, and the strategic plan identifying a path to meet those needs. I chair the district’s finance committee. During the transition to the new fire chief, I prepared two annual budgets and negotiated two union contracts. I provided the financial review for the new impact fee and the new CFD (Community Facilities District). This will stop the degradation of our fire service, but the job is not done. Regardless of the future governance of the district, be it an independent district or consolidated with Contra Costa County Fire District, additional funds are needed.

YOUNG The future needs are almost taken care of. New development will pay impact fees for stations and fire engines to serve their needs. New residents will pay CFD fees for operation of new stations to serve their needs. The funding for the three stations we need now to meet our current service need is the challenge. Consolidation, Measure X, Proposition 15 and Proposition 19 may provide some funding, but they will not provide all the funds needed. We will have to kick-in to accomplish the task. I will work to guide this process in a fair and equitable manner. I ask for your support. If elected, I will complete the job. We will get the fire stations needed now.
