Amphitheater plans unveiled by Tony Kukulich Correspondent
BRENTWOOD Residents got their first chance to review and comment on plans for the Vineyards at Marsh Creek Amphitheater at the project’s first public meeting last week. The outdoor amphitheater project is envisioned as a performing arts facility that will seat 750 - 1,000 people. Located on the west side of Vineyards Parkway between Reserve Place and Miwok Avenue, the 31-acre site could include additional amenities like a wedding venue, sculpture garden, promenade and a future community arts/events center. “It’s really being designed to be a flexible space,” said Brentwood Parks and Recreation Director Bruce Mulder. “It’s more of a smaller, intimate gathering setting. It’s not going to be the county fair. We’re really looking at a niche, cultural arts and entertainment (center) that will have

REGIONAL Federal and state health officials have said that trick-or-treating is safe this Halloween -- but with certain recommended safety precautions. Experts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) say the streets will be full of costumed youth on the prowl for candy. Trick-or-treaters should take some precautions, even for outdoor trick-or-treating, such as physical distancing and traveling in small groups, according to a

The press release also had some specific instructions on face masks. see Halloween page 18

REGIONAL The East Contra Costa Fire Protection District (ECCFPD) says it has about half of the money it needs to provide adequate service. As a result, the agency operates half of the six fire stations needed to serve the 249-square mile district, and response times are roughly double the six-minute national standard. But in Fire Chief Chief Brian Helmick’s “State of the District” presentation this week, he said a multifaceted plan is now in place that will erase the district’s threestation deficit and provide three additional stations to accommodate growth in the region over the next couple of decades. The plan builds upon the district’s improved finances, annexation with the Contra Costa Fire Protection District (Con Fire), anticipated tax revenue from Measure X as well as established developer impact fees and expected revenue from a districtwide community facilities district. The decision on how funds raised through Measure X is pending with the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors. After a months-long process, the Measure X Citizens Advisory Board recently submitted its list of recommended priorities. Funding for the ECCFPD ranked third on the list behind mental health crisis response and childhood mental health services. Measure X is a general tax measure approved by voters in 2020 that implemented a 0.5% sales tax in Contra Costa County. It is projected to generate see Update page 18

Burgis recovering after pacemaker implant

One person died when this home was damaged in a fire on Concord Avenue in Brentwood on Oct. 25.
1 killed, home heavily damaged in fire BRENTWOOD One person died and a single-story home was heavily damaged in a fire in the 3700 block of Concord Avenue in Brentwood on Oct. 25. The Contra Costa County Coroner’s Office identified the victim as 53-year-old Brentwood resident Teofilo Vasquez. Crews found smoke and flames pouring from the back of the singlefamily residence shortly after the fire was reported at about 7:30 a.m, said Gil Guerrero, an East Contra Costa Fire Protection District battalion chief. East Contra Costa Fire Protection crews, with assistance from the neighboring Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, were able to get the blaze under control in about an hour, but the home was heavily damaged, according to the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District. The fire’s cause remains under investigation, Guerrero said. – Melissa van Ruiten contributed to this report. To view a video and a slideshow, visit www.thepress.net/multimedia
Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Chair Diane Burgis is recovering at home following successful surgery to implant a pacemaker as a precaution to help steady an irregular heartbeat, her office said. Doctors discovered the irregular heartbeat during a series of routine preventive medical visits. According to a news release from her office, Burgis has been living with a congenital heart defect and was diagnosed with aortic stenosis, a narrowing of the aortic valve. She had successful valve replacement surgery in February, 2019. Burgis represents District 3, the largest of the five Contra Costa County Board of Supervisor districts. District 3 includes Antioch, Bethel Island, Brentwood, Byron, Discovery Bay, Knightsen and Oakley in East Contra Costa County and Blackhawk, Diablo and Tassajara Valley in the southern portion of the county. Burgis’ office said the pacemaker surgery went smoothly and, while she will need to take it easy for a few weeks during recovery, she will fulfill the duties of her office. “The residents of Contra Costa County, particularly those in District 3, will continue to receive the same high level of service, sound decisionmaking, and representation they depend on and deserve,” her office said in a statement. Her office said she thanks the medical team at Kaiser Hospital in Walnut Creek and her physicians for their care, and encourages everyone to keep up with their regular medical visits, especially
BURGIS during the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. “If I hadn’t gone in for my routine preventative appointments, I wouldn’t have known that my heart was not doing its job to its full capacity,” Burgis said in the news release. “Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, I have been encouraging people to keep up with their regular exams and tests rather than waiting to get medical care. I’m glad that I followed my advice.” Cards and well-wishes may be sent to Burgis at her main office, 3361 Walnut Blvd., Suite 140, Brentwood, CA 94513, her office said.

Delta Community Services gives hope to needy Center adapts its philosophy to different seasons by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer
The door of Delta Community Services Center in Brentwood opens multiple times a day, but the organization’s members don’t always know who’s about to come inside. One thing is almost guaranteed: something good is about to happen. The 42-year-old nonprofit — launched by a group of concerned citizens with the goal of creating a community service center — offers free donated clothing, toys, household items and a host of other goods for needy East County individuals and families. “We are similar to Goodwill, but we have donors and we have recipients,” said Delta Community Services President Michael O’Connor. “That is where we make a difference.” The organization’s distribution center, at 101 Sand Creek Road, served 1,721 needy people last year from Brentwood, Bethel Island, Byron, Discovery Bay, Knightsen, Oakley and, occasionally, Antioch, officials said. The center’s goods are from screened community donations of clothes, linens, tableware, toys and a host of other essential house-

The Delta Community Services Board, seen here at its distribution center in Brentwood, is guiding the organization into its 43rd year. hold items, arranged in a series of rooms that organization members describe as a makeshift department store. About 600 families donated goods to the organization last year. “I think we have done a pretty good job not turning away anyone who is in need,” said Craig Burger, the organization’s treasurer. The approach of the holidays is a special time for the organization, according to its members. The aforementioned “department store” is also a food distribution center for about 100 families every year around Thanksgiving. And at Christmas, it resembles a toy shop, with about 500 new toys, in addition to more food, pouring out the doors. The organization has also donated hun-
dreds of backpacks full of supplies to needy students for about eight years running, and has donated between 60 and 100 Chromebooks to students for the past three years. The donations make all the difference, said Maria Orosco, a recipient of the donations and single mom to 11-, 12- and 14-yearold children. “They help with so many things,” she said of the organization. “Food, Chromebooks, toys, Christmas gifts.” The nonprofit’s members, including a volunteer six-member board and a legion of other unpaid helpers, attribute its success to a city grant and the community’s generosity. The city of Brentwood donates the use of a portion of the Brentwood Education & Technology Center for the organization’s use
Handling the Holidays
and gives the organization a $24,000 yearly grant to pay the salary for the entity’s sole employee. Additionally, private donors, including Brentwood and Discovery Bay residents, donate money to the organization yearly to carry out its mission beyond what the 600 families donate, and others are instrumental in fostering families at Thanksgiving and Christmas and collecting donated toys for the community. “We do it because we love to do it, we love to give,” said Barbara Olsen, who oversees educational outreach for the organization. Going forward, the organization’s leaders say they are refining how they deliver their services to carry on into the future. It recently rebuilt its website, launched a Nextdoor account and hopes to analyze available data, including community needs assessments and local poverty and homelessness information, to home in on how best to move the organization forward. The group is also exploring other marketing strategies to attract more users and donors, as well as exploring partnerships with other nonprofits. “We are at the point where we think outside the box and think how we would like to expand,” said Alida Durej, vice president of the organization. “What makes sense? I am excited to build on what we’ve got and what we do well, and maybe partner with other nonprofits to share resources.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net

Brentwood Rotary Club poster contest features young artists The Brentwood Rotary Club recently held its inaugural youth poster contest, giving East County middle and high school students an open platform to use their art to communicate whatever message they would like to get across. Middle School winners First place: Scarlet Overzet (Edna Hill Middle School) Second place: Eva Hards (Adams Middle School) Third place: Lauren Lee (Bristow Middle School) High School winners First place: Cianna Price (Heritage High School) Second place: Ally Gumalo (DozierLibbey Medical High School) Third place: Brianna Lee (Liberty High School) “This is our inaugural event and we are very excited with how it turned out,” said Dan Torres, the president elect of the Brentwood Rotary Club and the event and contest chair. “It was fun awarding the kids for their efforts and acknowledging their talents and supporting their art.” Price, the high school winner, shared her reaction to winning the contest with The Press. Her reaction in its entirety is below. “I figured a participatory award was sufficient, just the opportunity to have my artwork displayed at a gallery was enough for me. But when I saw a blue ribbon attached to my poster, I felt two emotions: relief that my work had paid off, and shock that I was given first place at all.
I worried that the content of Modern Day Pieta would be too harsh of a subject, or the context too complicated to understand. Yet despite my initial fears of my submission being too intense, its intensity was possibly the reason why it garnered such positive reactions in the first place. For what is art, if not an evocation of our subconscious? An appeal to our minds’ deeper-rooted emotions is simply the result. This leads to another aspect of this contest that I enjoyed: the contestants’ chosen topics. Themes ranging from environmentalism, to women empowerment and racial equality show that the youth are deeply aware of the world’s current problems, and are eager to take the first step in forming solutions — all the while inspiring others to do the same. The contestants’ ability to portray such serious concepts was impressive, and the different mediums used to express their feelings added icing to the cake. Adults and young participants alike spent the entire evening sharing admiration for the artists and praising their work. I was fortunate enough to receive compliments, as well as hold meaningful conversations with a handful of kind people, and congratulate the other winning artists. Overall, the Brentwood Rotary Club’s poster contest proved a job well done in bringing out some of the creative talent that East Contra Costa County has to offer, and has further inspired me to confidently share my artwork and my message with the world.” To view a video, visit www.thepress.net/ multimedia

TOP 5 TRUST ADMINISTRATION MISTAKES
Italian tenor Pasquale Esposito will be at the El Campanil Theatre on Nov. 13.
by Joan Grimes, Esq.
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. 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. 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.

opera delivery of songs. Esposito began touring internationally with his first musical revue: ‘Naples … That’s Amore’ in 2005. Thereafter, he toured with his CD of Original Compositions: A Brand New Me (2009) and Il Tempo (2011). Following the success of spreading his rich Italian culture through music, he embarked on writing and producing his first PBS Special: ‘Pasquale Esposito Celebrates Enrico Caruso’ in 2015. The program was filmed in the historic Castello Giusso in Vico Equense on the Amalfi Coast. Esposito was accompanied by the Orchestra Santa Chiara conducted by Maestro Renato Serio. The docu-concert pays homage to Caruso by taking the audience on a musical journey in Italy highlighting the life, career and songs that made Caruso an international star. Esposito had his successful debut at San Francisco Opera in June 2015 with the premiere of Marco Tutino’s Two Women (an opera adaptation of the 1960s film La Ciociara –with Sophia Loren with whom he toured recently in the U.S.). The event is being produced by Licata -Cardinale Productions and co-sponsored by Blackhawk/Nunn Partners.

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: 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. 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. 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

get payments for a set period of time. Another option is a line of credit, so you pull money out as needed. Yet another option is where you get a set monthly amount (either for as long as you are living in the home or for a set period of time) plus you have a line of credit if you need more. Each of the above options will have different amounts available to you based on your expected remaining life span. You can even use a reverse mortgage to purchase a home. When you pass away or move out of the house into another living arrangement, the lender will need to get paid back. Either the house can be sold, or you or your heirs can pay the loan off and keep the house. Any extra funds above the loan payoff go back to you or your estate.

Plenty of tricks – but more treats
There are many people who are “house-rich but cash-poor.” While they could sell their homes to access their equity, they would rather not move. They could also take out a home equity line of credit, but they may not have the income to qualify for the loan, and they run the risk of losing their home if they fail to make their payments. If they are aged 62 and older, a reverse mortgage may be something for them to consider (although the fees are higher than a normal mortgage). In a normal mortgage, you make payments to your lender and your loan balance goes down. In a reverse mortgage, the lender makes payments to you and your loan balance goes up. The lender will usually set your maximum loan amount at no more than 80% of the appraised value. You can get all your proceeds at once when your loan closes. Or you can get a series of equal monthly payments for as long as you live in the home. Or you can

Lions keep coveted Bell in lopsided win The Liberty High School football team defeated Freedom 50-20 in the annual Bell Game on Oct. 22. The Lions’ win was their sixth consecutive victory over the Falcons.
by Michael Dixon Correspondent
Both Liberty and Freedom entered the 24th annual Bell Game on Friday, Oct. 22 needing a victory. A win for the Lions would put them back at .500 and in decent position to qualify for the North Coast Section playoffs with two games left. The Falcons, meanwhile, were looking to stop a six-game losing streak. In the end, Liberty got the win in decisive fashion. The Lions scored on the opening drive of the game and led 36-0 late in the second quarter. While Freedom would narrow the deficit some from there, Liberty’s lead was never less than 22 points and the Lions went on to defeat the Falcons 50-20. The win was the fifth consecutive in the Bell Game for Liberty and sixth straight over Freedom, as the Lions defeated the Falcons in a 2017 postseason game as well as in that year’s Bell Game. That marks the longest streak that Liberty has enjoyed in the history of the rivalry, with Freedom’s eight wins in a row from 2006-2013 being the only longer streak enjoyed by either school. “It feels great,” Lions coach Matt Hoefs said. “We have to win these rivalry games, too. All these guys grow up together. They play youth sports together. We want everybody to think that Liberty’s the place, that Liberty’s the football school around here. It’s kind of about winning the hearts and minds

of the community, too.” The game’s key sequence came in the first quarter. Trailing 7-0, Falcons junior Korbin Lacy intercepted a pass at the five yard line to thwart a Lions scoring drive. Freedom’s momentum was short-lived, however. On the first play of the ensuing possession, the Falcons snapped the ball into their own end zone, which resulted in a safety to put Liberty up 9-0. The next time the Freedom offense stepped on the field, the Lions were up 23-0. Liberty took advantage of the short field off of the free kick, scoring on a fiveplay, 46-yard drive that was capped off on a 1-yard touchdown run from junior quarterback Noa Kaho’onei. The Falcons made an-
other mistake with a fumble on the ensuing kickoff, turning the ball back over to the Lions. Four plays later, Kaho’onei and sophomore receiver Ryan Mckendry connected on an 18-yard touchdown pass to put Liberty up 23-0, effectively icing the game in the first quarter. The Lions added two more touchdowns in the second quarter -- one on a 10-yard run from Kaho’onei and the other on a 60-yard punt return from senior Anthony Munoz -before Freedom finally broke through with a nine-yard touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback Taylor Edmon to senior receiver Andre Reed in the final seconds of the first half. Freedom would make the game closer
in the second half, with a 28-yard touchdown pass from Edmon to junior Tai Reed. The ensuing two-point conversion brought the score to 36-14. But any faint comeback hopes were dashed when Liberty junior Giancarlo Olveda scored on an 8-yard touchdown run to put the Lions up 43-14. After Freedom cut the deficit to 43-20 on a touchdown run from senior Herschel Turner Jr., the Lions would close the scoring out. With the offense and special teams both scoring touchdowns, the defense got into the party when junior linebacker Nicholas Goff scored on a 41-yard interception return for a touchdown. see Bell Game page 11
French teen acclimates to new life at Freedom by Matt Schwab Correspondent
The Freedom High girls tennis program has a gift from France this season. Her name is Juliette Chaudron, an international exchange student with an engaging personality and powerful groundstrokes. Falcons assistant coach Mike Fernando, who has over 60 years of tennis experience, is thrilled to have Chaudron in the program as Freedom’s No. 2 player. “Very friendly, very chatty,” Fernando said of Chaudron during an interview. “… Tennis-wise, she doesn’t hide her feelings about what she did. She’ll give me a whole half a book on the match that she played.” He said she reminds him of a typical European player who would rather put the ball away in a rally than to come up to the net. Chaudron, who hails from SemurEn-Auxois, a fairytale town perched atop a hillside in Burgundy, France, has caught on quickly with her new teammates. “She was accepted by the whole team just because of her personality,” Fernando says. “She’s very helpful. Anybody who needs help in serves, she’s in there. Any-

body who needs some work on backhand or forehand, ‘Coach, can I help her out?’” The Falcons, who were 2-3 in the Bay Valley Athletic League on Oct. 15, have a lot of new faces in the program. Freedom’s No. 1 player is Madi Suzuki. Fernando said Chaudron’s parents were part of a community of exchangestudent parents in France, and after a lengthy approval process was finally completed, things happened quickly last sum-
mer. Chaudron wound up with a host family in Oakley just five days after things were finalized. “That quickly,” said Fernando, a former point guard at San Francisco State. Chaudron, 16, said her dad, Benoit, visited Berkeley for three months in 2019 and has been to the United States five times. Before Christmas in 2019, she started looking for a high school in the country and wanted to learn more about English.
The COVID-19 pandemic delayed her plans for a year. Chaudron says she played a lot of tennis in France, but had ankle surgery about five months ago, which kept her off the court. She feels comfortable with her new teammates. “That’s awesome,” she says of playing for the Falcons. “The girls are really nice. … The first thing I’ve seen at my new school was they were strong. I just really wanted to play and have a team, a community. I don’t know, it’s easier to meet people and discover stuff when you can talk with so many people. They’re really super nice and helpful, and this is awesome.” Without any point of reference about the United States previously, Chaudron was afraid of the ultra-competitiveness she might find here after watching American sports movies full of team drama. “It was like, I hope tennis won’t be as competitive because I don’t really care if I win or lose,” she said. “It’s so amazing if I win, but if I lose I’ll just do better next time.” see Tennis page 11

OCTOBER 29, 2021
Bell Game from page 10 Senior running back Deovion Hill was the workhorse for Liberty on the night. He scored the game’s opening touchdown and his 184 rushing yards were more than half of the 339 total yards that the Lions gained from scrimmage. Despite the lopsided win and the many standout performers, there were some drawbacks to Liberty’s win. One came on Lacy’s aforementioned interception. The play was reminiscent of the “Philly Special” that the Philadelphia Eagles scored a touchdown on in Super Bowl LII, with Mckendry throwing a pass to quarterback Nate Bell. Not only was Mckendry’s pass intercepted but both he and Bell were shaken up. While Mckendry would return, Bell would not. “He should be OK,” Hoefs said. “We were kind of assessing the situation. He said he thought he could go back in. We were keeping him off of it. We thought we had it in hand and if we needed him in an emergency situation, we could have had him.” Hoefs was more frustrated with a high number of penalties Liberty committed, particularly at the end of the game. He noted that, in close games, “those are the things that are going to come back and bite us in the butt.” “There was a lot of talking,” he said. “These kids know each other very well. You’re

not on the field. You don’t see it all the time. But there was a lot of laundry at the end.” Conversely, there were positives for Freedom in the loss. In a big-picture sense, after the Lions went up 36-0, Freedom outscored them for the rest of the game. While that can be seen as a minor victory in a 30-point loss, it is a potential building block. “They turned up in the second half,” Hill said of the Falcons. “They wanted it.” Freedom will be at home for the rest of the season. On Friday, Oct. 29, they’ll host Pittsburg, who shares the Bay Valley Athletic League lead with Antioch. The Falcons will then finish with a game on Friday, Nov. 5 against Deer Valley. Both of those games will start at 7 p.m. Liberty, meanwhile, will be at home against Antioch with a 7 p.m. game on Friday, Oct. 29. And will finish on the road with a 7 p.m. game against Heritage on Friday, Nov. 5. “We’ve been getting better and better every week,” Hoefs said. “We started off a little weak but we’ve been picking it up. I’m excited to see what happens in the next two weeks. We’re kind of in playoff mode now if we want to continue after these next two games.” To view results of other games this week, visit www.thepress.net To view a video and a slideshow, visit www.thepress.net/multimedia balls away and do bad serves, so I just try to work on my temper and what I think in my mind.” Chaudron, a Freedom junior, will return to France after the school year.

Antioch partners with Department of Justice for police reform by Jake Menez Staff Writer
ANTIOCH The Antioch police department will partner with the Department of Justice to develop police reform strategies in an effort to make local residents feel safer. The partnership was announced during a joint press conference held by Mayor Lamar Thorpe and interim Police Chief Tony Morefield on Oct. 21 that was livestreamed on the mayor’s Facebook page. “Earlier this year, I announced the largest police reform effort in the city of Antioch’s history,” Thorpe said during the conference. “While police reform efforts throughout the Bay Area have largely subsided, in the city of Antioch we’re not taking our foot off of the pedal. We’re going to continue with these reform efforts as long as I’m the mayor of the city of Antioch.” The Antioch City Council has explored potential reform in the past, including a vote at its Aug. 24 meeting to partner with law enforcement and the police oversight committee in developing a policy that protects people from physical restraints or other maneuvers that could lead to potential asphyxia. The movement was in response to the death of Antioch resident Angelo Quinto the previous December after Quinto was restrained during a mental health crisis. “Crime prevention and communitybased solutions have a great potential to reduce crime and improve the quality of life for all of Antioch’s residents,” Morefield said. “By increasing collaboration with our federal, state, local and community partners, we hope to increase our public’s access to justice and better support crime
victims in this city.” Antioch is one of only 10 cities nationwide and the only one in California selected to participate in the Department of Justice’s 2021 National Public Safety Partnership, a program designed to provide training and resources to local law enforcement agencies while assessing the needs of the specific community to find the best strategies to address violent crime, according to its website. The partnership began in 2014 as the Violence Reduction Network and included Oakland as part of the pilot program before rolling out the current model in 2017. Cities that participate agree to a three-year commitment that includes an annual summit on violent crime and an audit of existing department policies to develop and modernize approaches to better serve the community.. Michelle Sinnotte, a member of the Antioch Community Violence Task Force and advocate with Moms Demand Action, also spoke at the event of the importance of curbing gun violence. Moms Demand Action is a national grassroots organization that advocates for public safety measures to prevent gun violence. Sinnotte’s comments echoed those of Morefield, who promised a focus on the reduction of gun violence as part of the partnership with the Department of Justice, and those of Thorpe, who spoke of the importance of community partnerships. “It is critical,” Thorpe said, “that the city of Antioch aligns itself with programs that support the wellbeing of our community while improving the relationship between the police department and all of the people it serves.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net

Delta conveyance needs design changes for operational flexibility My last article described the need for any new Delta Conveyance Project to be designed to deliver fresh water to the South Delta to improve water quality and support a better emergency response if levee problems resulted in a large influx of salinity uest into the Delta. comment This article will present a second important suggested design change, that any new pumping station pumping water into the Bethany Reservoir should be redundant and interchangeable with the older Banks Pumping Plant. Today, the Harvey O. Banks Pumping Plant moves water from the level of the Clifton Forebay up into the Bethany Reservoir, where water then flows south through the
G
aqueduct to cities and farms. The new Delta Conveyance Project includes a possible Bethany Alternative, a new pumping plant to move water from the underground tunnel up again into the Bethany Reservoir. The new pumping station will be near the old pumping station. Each of which will be able to pump water up into the Bethany Reservoir, but the new design does not support the interchangeable use of these pumping stations. In other words, the new pumping plant will convey only tunnel water, while the old Banks Pumping Plant can convey only water from the Clifton Forebay. It is rather astonishing that the new design for the Bethany Alternative does not appear to consider the benefits of operational flexibility inherent in using the pumping stations interchangeably. The Banks Pumping
Letters Filibuster must be abolished
Editor: We understand President Biden is busy. Between foreign policy crises, infrastructure, and the COVID-19 pandemic, he has a lot on his hands. But I can’t help thinking about how his support for abolishing the filibuster in the Senate could help him enact his agenda on all fronts. Most importantly, it could help Biden protect Americans’ freedom to vote in the face of relentless attacks on our democracy. We need Congress to pass comprehensive voting rights reform, and we need Biden to step up and put pressure on the Senate to do so by publicly supporting an end to the filibuster. Biden’s stated support for voting rights reform simply isn’t

Plant has been operational for over 50 years since its completion in 1969. Operating 50-year-old equipment imposes significant maintenance challenges. If there were problems with Banks, why shouldn’t a new pumping station also be able to pump water from the Clifton Forebay using water moved through the Delta? Why not allow the new tunnel water to find its way to the Clifton Forebay to be moved by the Banks station if there was an issue with the new pumping station? Fresh water from the tunnels in the Clifton Forebay could be a fresh water source for the South Delta during emergencies. Designing these pump stations to be used interchangeably makes too much sense operationally, so why isn’t this solution being implemented? The only reason I can see is a desire to completely isolate the new tunnel from

It’s time for everyone to get the COVID-19 vaccine
Editor: Anti-vaxxers: Vaccine mandates have been around as long as this country has. George Washington required the troops of the Continental Army to be vaccinated against Smallpox or face “severe consequences” for failing to do so. If you attended public school in any state, your parents were required to

current connections to the Delta. One cannot divert water to help the Delta without connections to the current Delta infrastructure. By isolating the new tunnel, the Department of Water Resources and exporters will have a clean water take upstream in the Sacramento River less subject to climate change, completely dissociating themselves from Delta problems, resolving their own problems without concern for the future of the Delta. Any new pumping station pushing water into the Bethany Reservoir should be completely operationally redundant with the existing Banks Pumping Plant to keep exporters aligned with Delta challenges and deliver optimal water quality and emergency response benefits to the Delta.

vaccinate you for a range of illnesses. Otherwise, you weren’t allowed to attend school. I know it seems like the COVID vaccine was rushed, but you may not realize the technology behind the vaccine had been in development for decades already. Plus, instead of conducting trial phases one after another, they were overlapped along with medical reviews and certifications that would normally be conducted one at a time with lag time in between normally contributing to a longer timeframe. The vaccines weren’t haphazardly rushed. They were expedited with more efficiency, given that Americans were dying every day. The vaccines do not have microchips. They don’t change your DNA. They don’t have coronavirus in them, and if this was a government conspiracy, it would be the largest (worldwide, actually) conspiracy that has ever befallen humankind. Given the unfathomable number of people who would have to be in cahoots, it’s not even possible. FOX News personality Tucker Carlson is not your doctor. Rules that all of us must abide by are nothing new. You can’t drive 150 mph on the freeway, right? Isn’t that infringing on your freedom to do what you want to do? You follow that rule because it makes sense; it keeps you and other Americans from killing yourselves, and it’s the right thing to do. Pretty much the same deal with getting your shot. Love of country includes love for
your fellow countrymen and doing your part during a national crisis so we can get this country running again, and we aren’t losing hundreds of thousands more American lives. Please, it’s time to do your part. Art Main Brentwood
Biden must support ending the filibuster
Editor: In November 2020, millions of voters like me went to the polls and cast a ballot for Joe Biden. Now, with a relentless GOP attack on our voting rights underway, I’m asking President Biden to return the favor. It’s time for Biden to go further than talking about supporting voting rights legislation. We need him to come out and fully support ending the filibuster so the Senate can finally pass voting rights legislation like the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. With the filibuster intact, these bills stand little chance of passing. We need the president to use his power of office to pressure the Senate to end the filibuster and clear a path for voting rights reform. We can’t out-organize voter suppression. History will remember how President Biden handles these attacks on our right to vote. I’m urging him to do the right thing. Terry Evans-Seeno Pittsburg

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Notice is hereby given that the City Council of the City of Brentwood will, at 7:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the normal course of business permits on November 9, 2021, hold a public hearing to consider the following application: Adoption of an ordinance (RZ 21-006) to (1) repeal the temporary urgency ordinance adopted by the City Council on 9/21/2021 and extended on 10/26/2021, that added Chapter 17.635 (“Emergency Medical and Fire Protection Service Funding”) to the Brentwood Municipal Code, and (2) add Chapter 17.635 (“Emergency Medical and Fire Protection Service Funding”) and Chapter 17.636 (“City Community Facilities District Service Funding”) to the Municipal Code as non-urgency ordinances. These newly added Chapters will apply citywide. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this ordinance on 10/19/2021, and recommended that the City Council adopt it. This ordinance is adopted in the exercise of the City’s authority under the California Constitution, art. XI, § 7, and the California Planning and Zoning Law, Government Code § 65000, et seq. It is exempt from review under CEQA because it has no potential to result in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, per 14 CCR § 15061(b)(3). Further, the ordinance is also exempt because it does not apply to any particular development project at this time, and it is thus speculative to evaluate any such future project in the context of consideration of this ordinance.

or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, under the terms of said Deed of Trust, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $ 267,767.01. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust has deposited all documents evidencing the obligations secured by the Deed of Trust and has declared all sums secured thereby immediately due and payable, and has caused a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be executed. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the County where the real property is located. 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 (916)939-0772 or visit this internet website http://search. nationwideposting.com/propertySearchTerms.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case CA2100286970 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 if conducted after January 1, 2021, 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 (916)939-0772, or visit this internet website http://search.nationwideposting.com/propertySearchTerms.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case CA2100286970 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, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, 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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee or the Mortgagee’s attorney.

Amphitheater from page 1 sultant, DLR Group, gathered input from stakeholders including local businesses, performing arts groups and nearby residents. That input was incorporated into the design presented at the public workshop. Feedback received from the public workshop will make its way into design updates. “Currently we are wrapping up the thematic design for the project,” said Allen Baquilar, engineering manager for the city of Brentwood. “However, we are about to hit the pause button on the design and enter into a (California Environmental Quality
Halloween
Act) process. The city will be hiring a consultant to provide a supplemental environmental impact report.” An environmental report was initially completed in 2004. The supplemental environmental report will identify impacts to the environment like noise and traffic under current conditions. That report is expected to be complete in July 2022. At that point, the project will go back to the city council, which will provide direction on the next steps. If approved, Mulder said that ground could be broken in 2023. “This will be considered a park, so the am-

Wearing a costume mask over a cloth mask can also make it more difficult to breathe and is not recommended.” Families not comfortable with trick-or-treating can host their own pumpkin carving contest, a costumed movie night, or have a Halloween scavenger hunt in their own backyards.

That’s what we’ve been trying to do.” The first step will be the opening of Station 55 in the spring of next year. Located in Summer Lake near the intersection of East Cypress and Bethel Island roads, the station was completed in 2019 but never made operational due to a lack of funding. In the summer of 2022, a second crew will begin operating out of Station 52 on the John Muir Parkway in Brentwood. That company
phitheater will fall under Parks and Recreation,” Mulder explained. “The operations of it are still being explored. We are in the process of exploring the operational side of it. It’s possible that it could be a city-run facility. Or, we could contract out the entire facility to an operator. We are looking into that. It also could be a hybrid where it’s city run, but we contract out certain pieces of the operation to an operator.” “It is very exciting to finally be at this point on the amphitheater project,” said Brentwood Mayor Joel Bryant. “This will be a wonderful venue to provide a home

Finally, the district plans to build a new two-story station on the location of the shuttered Station 54 in downtown Brentwood. That facility is expected to be operational in five years. “I watched the chief (Monday) night, and I am pleased with the progress that ECCFPD has been able to make over the past year or so and hope it continues,” said Brentwood resident Ben Kellogg. “It is my hope that the process of annexation comes to fruition. The fight, however, is not over. Residents of east county must continue to battle for Measure X funding. I urge all residents to contact the Contra Costa County Board of

kids this year. After spending much of the past year communicating via Zoom instead of in person and missing out on many celebrations and rites of passage, this fall is a good opportunity to give kids a sense of normalcy. “Traditions are very important to the mental health of kids,” Rood said. “During the past 20 months, they’ve had to miss out on or adjust to new ways of doing things that we previously took for granted. We want to help kids get back to normal as much as possible and to do so safely. Families should embrace the holiday season and look for activities they can do together, whether that’s following old traditions or creating new ones.”
Supervisors and let them know how important those funds are. A large reason Measure X passed was because of the increased fire funding for ECCFPD. The needs assessment proved that unequivocally. I truly believe that if not for the fire protection aspect, Measure X would not have passed.” CCFPD’s annexation with Con Fire was approved by both fire boards last month and the process is expected to be complete by next March or April. Helmick noted that the district was long considered a liability in any consolidation or annexation discussion, stating that it was referred to as the Titanic because many thought it would sink under the weight of its problems. He credited the move to an elected fire board as a key step to making the ASSISTED LIVING ORY CARE changes necessary to reverseMitsE Mfortunes.
“One thing that’s really important to note is that it wasn’t until 2019 that the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District was governed by its own board, which means that we had people that were either appointed or didn’t have the legitimate authority to implement many of the mechanisms we need to be financially sustainable,” Helmick said. “We didn’t really start making some really big changes until 2019.” Helmick plans to provide additional updates regarding the district in January and March. The March update will likely occur shortly before ECCFPD’s dissolution and annexation by Con Fire.
