Going On A Bear Hunt
by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer
Brentwood leaders recently approved a rough action plan that aims to turn a swath of northwest city property into one of the county’s key employment generators. The 17-initiative plan features future marketing goals, infrastructure needs, development analysis strategies, financing methods and advocacy aims for the over 430 acres surrounded by Lone Tree Way to the north, Heidorn Ranch Road to the west, Sand Creek Road to the south and Shady Willow Lane to the east. The area is considered Brentwood’s future jobgenerating hub and a perfect location for mixed-use development, capable of one day featuring 4 million square feet of nonresidential establishments, 8,400 jobs and 2,100 housing units, according to city estisee Plan page 22

Farming in the midst of a pandemic by Tony Kukulich Staff Writer
Subject to the whims of weather, economics and international politics, farming is not for the faint of heart, but few could have predicted the intensity of the challenges facing those in the agriculture industry as winter turns to spring in East County. The good news is that as the stay-athome order enters its third week in the Bay Area, local farmers appear to be wellpositioned to weather the storm that is, by all accounts, still expanding. Models predicting the growth of the novel coronavirus pandemic indicate the impact won’t peak in California until sometime between the end of April and the middle of May. Siblings Sam and Hailey Nunn are twothirds of the Three Nunns Farm and part of a family-farming tradition that stretches back five generations in Brentwood. The third Nunn, sibling Jake, is sheltering in place in Oakland. “Of course we’re taking this seriously, but for us, we’re used to uncertainty,” said Sam Nunn. “We’re gambling every year. We’re not sure if we’re going to yield a crop or make a profit. This is our comfort zone.” Larry Enos, owner of 5 Star Cherries, plants about 900 acres of cherries, almonds and olives in East County. “So far we’re managing fine,” Enos said. “We’re deemed essential, so it’s business as usual to a point. Our crews are keeping separation, along with our own employees.” Social distancing is, according to Hailey Nunn, inherent in the agriculture industry. The stay-at-home order issued March 19 by Gov. Gavin Newsom does not specify an end date, and the county order was recently extended until May 3. The Nunns and Enos are unsure how it might impact the U-pick season should the order still be in place when the season opens, typically in
r u o Y t e e M cal Lo Call for appt.

mid-May. Travel to obtain fresh fruits and vegetables is allowed under the order, but it seems unlikely that exception would apply to customers traveling greater distances and crossing county lines. “As far as U-pick or stuff like that, I just don’t know yet,” Enos said. “It sounds like products are still moving. People still have to eat. We don’t know yet. We’re all experiencing something that we have never experienced before. As far as the farming aspect, we’re getting our things done and getting prepped.” Three Nunns Farm is focused primarily on U-pick crops like cherries in the spring and pumpkins in the fall. They are planning to build a fruit stand at their new location on Vasco Road, and with the death of Meredith Nunn this past winter, they will also operate the produce stand at The Farmer’s Daughter, which was Meredith’s legacy. Sam is involved in the Nunn family commercial farming venture that
encompasses approximately 3,000 acres of row crops like sweet corn, tomatoes, lettuce and garlic. “We are planning for business as usual,” Sam Nunn said. “That’s been my mentality. We can always adapt if we get new information. I think it’s safe to say with what we have right now that we’ve been working and preparing for business as usual. I don’t see any reason right now why U-pick wouldn’t open in mid-May, give or take a couple of weeks — whenever the cherries get ready. The farms will be opened up with the normal parameters and rules. Unless we hear something different, we’re going to be here.” If travel is still restricted by the time cherries ripen, both businesses said they could simply sell their U-pick crops on the commercial market. Hailey Nunn also envisions selling prepacked produce through something akin to a drive-up window. “It’ll be like McDonald’s with a drivethru,” she said, grinning. “Instead of U-
pick, it’ll be U-point.” An article by Lori Pottinger published March 30 by the Public Policy Institute of California identified the health of the workforce as a significant risk facing those in the state’s agriculture industry. Enos said that his operation runs with a very limited staff as only cherries are handpicked. “With almonds and olives, the way we grow them, they are commercially harvested,” he said. “You don’t need a lot of manpower. That’s the advantage to those crops.” Looking toward the summer, one bright spot that the Nunns and Enos agree on is the vitality of the cherry crop. To date, it appears to be on track to be a pretty good year. “I think our cherry crop looks really good,” Sam Nunn said. “There’s been no rain damage. It’s looking good. We should have a nice cherry crop this year.” For more information on local farms, visit https://harvestforyou.com/.

Going on a bear hunt: We’re not afraid by Aly Brown Staff Writer
Little ones in Brentwood are on a bear hunt, and they need more neighbors to join the effort. Homes throughout town are placing stuffed animals in windows for children and their parents to find while out on a walk in what has became a bear scavenger hunt. Brentwood resident Julie Bretz was one of the first influencers to bring the activity to her neighborhood, and while she said the idea was not originally her own, as both a retired Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District teacher of 39 years and someone who walks for an hour each day, she loved the concept. “I put a bear in the window, got a piece of printer paper and wrote ‘Teddy says hi’ to put in the window alongside the bear,” she said. Then, in a Nextdoor social-media post, she called on her community to do the same. “I said let’s make walking fun and make it a teddy bear scavenger hunt for little ones,” she said of her original post. “Let’s put some light in our lives during this dark time.” Neighbors soon replied. “Such a great idea! My kids and I will be on the lookout during our afternoon walks,” wrote resident Katie Jenkins. “We’ll be sure to put as many

teddy bears we can find in our windows as well!” Others responded in turn, some noting they would put the toys in their car windows as well for better viewing, while others had questions about stuffed animal species. “One friend asked, ‘Can I use a chicken?’” Bretz said, laughing. “I said,
‘Of course.’” Bretz has been going on a bear (or chicken) hunt herself each day as she walks. While out, she’s been happy to see mothers with strollers stopping to point out houses, but she said the number of animals available to spy in her Valley Green neighborhood near Immaculate Heart Catholic Church could
use some improvement. She hopes to see more participation in the days to come in order to make the game more fun. In all of this, Bretz observed one positive aspect of sheltering in place was seeing more parents outside doing things with their children. “That could be a silver lining in this gloom,” she said.

Supply pantries crop up in Brentwood by Aly Brown
“ My hope for my kids is
Community members in Brentwood are joining a worldwide movement in little ways to make a big impact. With help from her neighbors, Catherine Morgan was able to establish a Little Free Library at Baird Circle some years back, but now it’s transformed into a Little Free Pantry to help others through the COVID-19 crisis, which has seen grocery stores wiped clean and senior citizens at risk to shop. Before the transition, Morgan had seen a newsletter from the Little Free Library Organization sharing how some libraries — small stand-alone structures filled with books in neighborhoods throughout the country — were swapping out books for necessities, such as toilet paper and canned goods, which sparked the idea. “It helps the community on both sides,” she said. “It’s a resource for people who want to help but can also respect social distancing, and it gives people who actually need something the opportunity to drive by, grab a couple things and go home without worrying about going into the grocery store.” She removed the books and gave her Little Free Library some new supplies, before turning to social media to share. Pretty soon, the library was so full, the door could barely close. “I felt like having a place seniors or neighbors of low income or even those who couldn’t get to the store that day could get what they need,” she said. “I thought the little library could be used in a way to help us band together once again. It was such a perfect concept for Brentwood.” Another Little Free Library owner in Brentwood, Nikki Pryor, has made a similar move, but she’s retained some of the books for visitors to grab. “I felt it was important to leave some books, because it’s food for the mind as
that what they remember from this time is that it wasn’t about the fear and negativity but about taking care of your neighbors and doing what you can with what you’ve got.

Nikki Pryor well as for the body,” said Pryor. “There’s so much negativity in the world right now, and this is a way to put a little hope and love out there.” Pryor’s library-turned-pantry is located on Marjoram Drive in the neighborhood across the street from Blue Goose Park. She makes sure to sanitize the box and items inside so people can feel comfortable taking things home. Whether it’s chalk drawings or a stuffed bear in a window, Pryor has seen positive ways her community is working to support one another, and her own family strives to participate — including delivering care packages over the fence to her senior neighbors. “We don’t have a lot to give, but we give what we can,” she said. “My hope for my kids is that what they remember from this time is that it wasn’t always about the fear and negativity but about taking care of your neighbors and doing what you can with what you’ve got.” Little Free Libraries can be found through the organization’s national registry.

Seven reminders on coronavirus scammers As fearful Californians shelter in place and shudder over every apocalyptic news story about the coronavirus, scammers see something else: dollar signs. Protect yourself with these tips: 1. Don’t trust “Coronavirus” or “COVID-19” subject headers These words represent the most ‘clickable’ enticement there is right now, because the pandemic is top-of-mind, said Harry Kazakian, Los Angeles security and investigative expert. Emails and texts with these words will urge you to click a link that will enable cybercriminals to steal personal information or, ironically, infect your computer or smartphone with a virus. 2. Beware of fake charity come-ons Your goodwill makes you vulnerable if you don’t take extra steps. Sharing your credit card number to donate to something like ‘International Childrens’ Coronavirus Relief Fund’ could relieve you of more funds than you banked on. 3. Let it go to voicemail Criminals are pretty shrewd at making their phone calls appear to originate from your area code. If you don’t recognize the number, or even if your smartphone suggests that the incoming call originated with a local utility or agency, always let it go to voicemail. Government agencies — including Medicare, Social Security and the IRS — will never call you or leave a message.
4. Know who you’re buying from This isn’t the time to buy masks online from a seller you’re unfamiliar with. Besides the obvious risk of handing over crucial personal information, you may unwittingly buy used, defective or counterfeit items. 5. Remember, there is no immunization or ‘home test kit’ There are no approved home test kits for coronavirus and no vaccines, period. Any offer claiming otherwise is a scam. Keep checking CDC.gov to stay informed. 6. Fraudulent supplements are flooding the market The dangers of taking herbal products promising to treat a novel and deadly disease cannot be understated. “At worst, consumers without access to medical care may forego medical treatment based on false claims,” said attorney Robert Tauler. “At minimum, consumers will shell out hard earned money for fake products that will do nothing to keep them safe.” 7. Fake remedies could kill you If you’re taking prescription medications, products falsely touted as coronavirus cures could interfere with their effectiveness. Keep in mind that these products may arrive contaminated with other ingredients or pharmaceuticals not listed on the label, especially products coming from China where factory production guidelines are lax or ignored. – Newsroom Public Relations

REAL ESTATE ACTIVITY
The real estate market around here is still functioning, although at a reduced level. When the shelter-in-place rules first came out, we feared that it would lock up completely. Obviously open houses would need to stop, and taking buyers out to look at property in person has slowed to barely a trickle. We are encouraging buyers to make full use of online virtual tours and videos and writing offers subject to viewing the home in person at a later date. Some inspectors and appraisers are still going out with gloves and masks and wiping down anything they touch. Others are forbidden to enter homes either by their company’s decision and/or their insurance company’s decision. Most title companies and lenders are still operating with a skeleton crew physically in the office with the doors locked and the rest working from home. Our biggest scare came when we heard that the County Recorder’s office may close. They have since come out with a way to record deeds via an e-recording process. So technically we can still sell homes and
lenders can still process refinances, albeit more slowly than before. Everyone just needs to be patient and flexible with deadlines. But home sales are going through, usually about two per day in Brentwood. So we CAN sell homes, but what about the buyers? Are they writing offers in this environment? Actually, they are. It’s just not as robust as we normally see this time of year, obviously. I looked at Brentwood from Jan 1 through March 16 (the day the local shelterin-place rules came out). Before the shelter, about three homes went pending on average per day. After the shelter, it’s about two homes per day. Last year during that same time period, we averaged about three homes per day. So it’s slowed, but it hasn’t ground to a halt as we feared. If you have questions about real estate, call me at (925) 240-MOVE (6683). Voted “Best of Brentwood” multiple times.

How to find calm during the COVID-19 crisis Do you feel like you are in a movie titled, “The 2020 Pandemic,” and you just want it to end? You are not alone. The COVID-19 health crisis has impacted everyone, forcing us to deal with drastic life changes that we never expected. It has created national anxiety, among many other emotions and heightened our uncertainty, leaving most people feeling as empty as the grocery shelves. There are many who already felt empty in their life before this crisis, who struggled to cope daily with any difficult feelings that weren’t “happy.” Some would cope by numbing them. Now we are all being challenged to handle difficult emotions. Most of us are finding it hard to find any joy right now, understandably. While the world has been placed on pause until further notice, our challenge is to accept the pause and focus on what we can control. Here are some tips on how to take care of your mental health during this time by living intentionally and choosing a daily routine to find joy in the little things that we may have once taken for granted. Acknowledge your feelings. We are all grieving the loss of what our life once was, and we want it back. Many have suffered job loss; canceled events, such as high school seniors who have looked forward to prom and walking the stage to be acknowledged for years of hard work; their parents who are grieving with them; teachers grieving the loss of saying goodbye to their students and vice versa. Allow yourself and the people you are quarantined with to express their sadness, anger and frustration about this situation. Being there for each other is going to make it easier to navigate these times. Be mindful of your child’s mental health now more than ever; it’s more important than their grades. Make a gratitude list. A tool I often provide in therapy is encouraging people to think about what they are grateful for and expressing gratitude. During this time, thank a health care worker, a first responder, a teacher, a grocery clerk, all delivery drivers, a friend, a neighbor, your family. It’s not what we have in life, it’s who we have in our life that matters. Connect. Social isolation doesn’t mean emotional isolation. As Brene’ Brown
LSA
“ While the world has been placed on pause until further notice, our challenge is to accept the pause and focus on what we can control.
”
would say, “We are hardwired for connection.” Reach out, check on your neighbors. Be mindful of how others are feeling. Yes, it’s frustrating that some people are buying extra toilet paper, but those people are suffering too, and buying extra makes them feel emotionally safe. We all cope in different ways when there is change. Rather than judge, try to have compassion. It’s ok to ask for help, consider contacting a licensed mental health professional; they are available to provide telehealth therapy from the comfort of your own home. Humor. Laughter is the best medicine; try watching comedy. Animals can be therapeutic. Spending time with animals can offer instant calming comfort. Avoid obsessing about the news. Anxiety is contagious. Limit your media time and follow the CDC guidelines. The more we do our part, the more we help “flatten the curve.” Manage uncertainty by calming your mind. Notice how much you allow your mind to go to the worst case scenario, and shift your focus to things that get you into your body and back to the present moment, such as slow deep breathing. We are all in this together, and we will get through this together. I imagine when this is over, we will not take life for granted and realize that we are all more similar than we are different. We will also be kinder to others, something our world has needed, and above all, we will be more resilient than we have ever been. — Courtesy of Julie Garcia, MA, LMFT #92355, licensed marriage and family therapist.

hile exercising appropriate social distancing, parents in the Knightsen Elementary School District were able to drive through Knightsen Elementary School to pick up their students’ work packets today. “It was great to see the kids and an excuse for our families to come out for a drive,” said Superintendent Harvey Yurkovich. “Although conversation was limited, we had the opportunity to see one another and reaffirm the positive connections we have made at school. Overall, it was a good day to reconnect, albeit not the traditional welcome back from spring break we are used to.”

LIVING IN UNCERTAIN TIMES
by Joan Grimes, Esq. and Jennifer Wallis, Esq. We are living in a time of great uncertainty in this country and in the world. Never before have we ever been asked as a country to give up our freedom of movement in order to protect each other from illness. My life is very different than it was two weeks ago. Two weeks ago, I was so busy running between appointments, court and enjoying our new grandchild. Today, I am at home talking on the phone with clients who are worried and scared about the future and fear that they may not have time to do what they need to do. If there is one thing I have learned in estate planning, it is that everyone puts off doing something. For some people, it is putting off exercise, for others it is putting off that call to your children, parent, friend or someone you have an unresolved issue. For other people, it is putting off getting your own affairs in order. Putting things off is something we all do. However, at the end of the day, we do need to make sure we have done important things. This week, next week and probably
for the next month, we have been given the time to reset the future. We have time to exercise, we have time to make those calls to affirm everything we agree about and forget our differences. We have the time to get our affairs in order. We have time to plan the future. We have time to make sure we do the important things. If you do not have an estate plan or would like to discuss changes to your existing estate plan, I have free 30 minute consultation available by phone. Putting your affairs in order is a gift you give yourself and your family. If you would like to make an appointment, please call 925- 9391680 or email us at joangrimes@msn. com.

Fire board adopts new fee plan John Muir by Tony Kukulich Staff Writer
Last month, the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District (ECCFPD) fire board adopted a new prevention permit fee schedule. “In March 2020, the fire board unanimously passed an ordinance for an adjustment in fire prevention fees,” said ECCFPD Fire Board President Brian Oftedal. “The fire board considered an extensive amount of data from an engineer’s report, prior to making our decision and also held a public hearing. After review of the material and with no correspondence or public comment, the board moved forward with the recommendations for the adjustment in the fee schedule.” The need to update fire prevention inspection fees became evident to ECCFPD leadership in late 2018 when the contract with the Contra Costa Fire Protection District (ConFire), which was performing these services in East County, expired and the responsibility reverted to ECCFPD. According to ECCFPD Fire Marshal Steve Aubert, who heads the district’s Fire Prevention Bureau (FPB), the fee schedule in place when the contract with ConFire expired was already outdated. “As far as permit fees go, the last time that those fees were evaluated and touched was 2010, so they’re a decade old,” he said. “At that time, it was ConFire’s current fee
“ As far as permit fees go, the last time that those fees were evaluated and touched was 2010, so they’re a decade old.
”
ECCFPD Fire Marshal Steve Aubert schedule that they had that was being adopted out here in East Contra Costa.” The collection of fees for fire prevention service is intended to offset the cost of providing the service. The bureau should create neither income nor expense for the district. “In order for us to justify as a prevention bureau, we need to remain cost neutral as much as possible,” Aubert said. “We had to go through an engineer’s study as well for how much it would cost us to perform the services for a prevention division. In doing that, we looked at the different fees and spread those appropriately and proportionately across the different permits and service we provide.” Inspection of new construction is an FPB responsibility, but the cyclical nature of construction can make it difficult to plan and staff appropriately over the long run, a fact that the ECCFPD has addressed by

using contractors to perform new construction inspections. “The ebb and flow of new construction is significant,” Aubert said. “We are establishing the bureau based on the fundamentals that our current internal people will be focusing their main attention on existing occupancies. We can weather the tide of new construction with the contract side of the house handling new construction and plan review until we get to the point where we’re comfortable enough to bring that level of service inside our bureau.” ConFire had performed inspection duties for the district since ECCFPD’s inception in 2002. After the 2016 Ghost Ship fire in Oakland, ConFire put added emphasis on inspections within their district and they opted to not renew the contract with ECCFPD. The contract expired in late 2018, and the obligation reverted to ECCFPD. Aubert was brought on board from ConFire in May 2019 and charged with developing a prevention bureau. The responsibilities of the FPB include the inspection of existing structures, inspection of new construction and conducting fire investigations. The volume of new construction inspections can vary with the economy, but Aubert said there are approximately 200 buildings in the district that require an annual or biennial inspection. These include structures such as schools, hotels and residential care facilities. Coinciding with the completion of the fee study, the prevention bureau has expanded in recent weeks. Two fire inspectors have been hired. One inspector came from the ECCFPD’s operations division, while the other moved from the Tracy Fire Department. A fire permit technician joined, also from the Tracy Fire Department. “Having a Fire Prevention Bureau is more critical than ever,” Oftedal explained. “The FPB is not only responsible for building inspections and vegetation management, but they also are responsible for community risk reduction. With only three fire stations open in East Contra Costa, the prevention bureau staff is critical in preventing fires and reducing risk before a critical event can even happen.” For more information about the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District, visit www.eccfpd.org.

While John Muir Medical Center in Brentwood can be seen hosting a mobile COVID-19 testing station, it does not serve as a first come, first served operation. Officials disseminated the following information to patients, clarifying which individuals may receive a test: Dear Patient, We understand that you may be wondering about the steps John Muir Health is taking to test patients for COVID-19. It’s important to know that we have a limited number of tests available to us, and we do not currently have enough supplies to test every John Muir Health patient. Due to limited availability, COVID-19 tests are being prioritized for patients who meet high-risk criteria as outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This ensures that those who most need evaluation and testing can receive it in a timely manner. Testing is being prioritized for patients who meet high-risk criteria as outlined by the CDC Testing is done by doctor’s order only The patient must be a current John Muir Health patient with a record in our electronic medical record system to receive a test Testing is done by appointment only We are not able to test people without a doctor’s order and an appointment The COVID-19 outbreak continues to be a fluid and evolving situation, and we understand that many of you may be worried about the health of your family while adjusting to life under the recent Bay Area-wide shelterin-place order. We thank you for all that you are doing to help flatten the curve and slow the spread of COVID-19 in our community. John Muir is also temporarily consolidating its seven urgent care center locations to four as of Friday, March 20, which moves clinicians and staff to the four largest urgent care locations, allowing for more efficient care. Visitors are currently restricted in outpatient facilities, including urgent care centers. Patients who are seen in person should plan to have nonessential family or friends wait outside of the building or in the car. Pediatric patients should be accompanied by only one parent or guardian, if possible.

Find services, businesses still open Restaurants and bars are closed to dine-in customers throughout East County as confirmed cases of coronavirus grow in the Bay Area and the state. Some of your favorite local restaurants can still offer takeout and delivery services, though, and many are opting to let you pick up food curbside to maintain social distancing. Others such as Rubiano’s in downtown Brentwood are offering special make-your-pizzaat-home options and MJ’s, also downtown, is packing up dinner selections and specials of the day. Some local restaurants are even offering takeout orders for
alcoholic beverages. The Press rounded up a list of restaurants and bars in the East County area that are still offering takeout and delivery services. The list will constantly change as business owners make decisions about what options are best for them to offer. Many have altered days and hours of service, too. Check in with the restaurant by giving them a call or going to their website to be sure about what is available. Is your restaurant or bar offering takeout or delivery but not listed here? Have you since changed your model and want this list updated? Email reporter Aly Brown at abrown@

Editor: In these uncertain times, the seniors we serve rely on us now more than ever. As someone who cares about those we serve, I wanted to provide you an update on how we are addressing the COVID-19 outbreak. Our meal deliveries remain uninterrupted. In fact, we are serving more seniors now than before. We have increased staff hours to ensure meals are delivered to those in need. We are providing additional protective supplies to our drivers and instructing them to leave the meal on the senior’s porch, to ring the doorbell and then to back away and watch the client get the meal. Clients that previously attended our cafés will be receiving seven frozen meals delivered every week. Our Friendly Visitors program is providing all their services over the phone. We are planning to ramp up calling services for seniors who find themselves newly isolated during this
Editor
time when social isolation is necessary but can be negative for so many. Our fall prevention and health and exercise classes are temporarily suspended. Seniors attend our classes for both the health and social benefits. We are reaching out to them to ensure they are not isolated during this time. Our care management department is still providing case management and crisis management services. They are doing this over the phone and are ramping up service to help seniors process this crisis. We have received an outpouring of support from the community wanting to volunteer. Our existing volunteers have stepped up to help, and we will reach out to new interested volunteers as the need increases. If you are interested in volunteering, please apply online. These measures have strained our resources, and we could use your help. Please consider giving us a gift today. Thank you for all you do to help seniors in our community every day. We need you now more than ever. Caitlin Sly MOW Executive Director

Shelter-in-place order doesn’t ground gymnast by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer
When senior elite gymnast Ruben Padilla packed up his belongings, having heard that his Utah training facility was temporarily closing amid the COVID-19 pandemic, his most essential item didn’t fit in his ride back to California: a trampoline. But that doesn’t mean the U.S.A Gymnastics tumbling and trampoline star is staying grounded back in his family’s Oakley home. “Our house is all tile,” said Nelia Padilla, Ruben’s mother. “When you see him flipping and he has the potential to land where there are no mats and nothing soft, it is kind of scary … Inside I am just praying nothing happens to him.” Ruben’s natural tendency to flip at a moment’s notice is unaffected by the coronavirus shelter-in-place order, but his daily training has been turned upside down. A shuttered facility, no trampoline and shelter-inplace rules mean Ruben’s hours-long daily workouts must continue in his home, using anything at his disposal — couches, stairs and the rock-hard floor. The unfortunate reality, however, is that nothing bounces like a trampoline. “I miss it so much,” said Ruben, 19. “I have been flipping around the house. My mom is already done with it.” Ruben’s former gymnastics-centric Utah life that featured 15 weekly hours of training and 13 of coaching has been cut down to around seven hours a week of inhome conditioning in California. The pandemic has also eliminated at least three of his recent competitions and may leave him just three days to train back in Utah (following his absence from the trampoline for over a month) if the Senior Pan Am Championships go ahead in early May.
“I don’t doubt it’s possible or anything like that,” Ruben said. “Three days is not enough time to train, but I do feel like I can put something out there.” Ruben said just a week off the trampoline throws off his air awareness, but these days he has little choice but to keep working on the ground. His family, meanwhile, is soaking up his unexpected presence back home, while also thankful they remain healthy. “If you think about it, the sports, the Olympics, the competitions, all of that is secondary when it comes to health and what everything everybody is going through,” said Nelia. “We have been lucky to be safe and healthy.” As for Ruben’s immediate future, his Utah training facility could reopen as soon as early May. If that happens, and if Ruben’s past is any indication, it won’t take him long to bounce back once he hits the comforts of a trampoline. The 14-year gymnast has endured countless injuries and other tribulations before, only to quickly soar to success soon after. In 2017, he managed to win a national championship in the trampoline and synchronized trampoline competitions, despite feeling discomfort from a previous chest bruise as he bounced on the trampoline. And in 2018, he secured third at the Junior Pan American Trampoline Championships after suffering a large gash on his foot and a sprained ankle only minutes before competition. He also shook off a noticeably unbouncy trampoline to snag a bronze medal at the 2019 Pan American Games in Peru. Of course, he’s racked up a host of achievements under normal circumstances as well. Other recent career achievements include capturing the 2019 World double mini, double mini team and team all-around silver medals; the 2019 U.S. double mini championship; 2018 World double mini silver medal;
Press file photo
and the 2018 U.S. double mini silver medal and synchronized bronze medal. That’s enough hardware to boost his spirits, at least for a few days off a trampoline. But ever the champion, he’s eager to soar to new heights. “I’m very excited to return to training,” Ruben said. “As nice as it is to be back home with my family and rest, I know that I need to get back to training so I can focus on next year’s season.”
Diving into Press archives: A look back at the best of sports thrower Jacob Hawkins the top Freedom competitor of the day, landing in fourth place with a personal record of 159 feet, 2 inches. The Falcons’ 4x100-meter relay team finished in a respectable sixth place, with a time of 43.04. Meanwhile, Heritage also had a solid showing. Gabriel Preciado (800-meter) and Kidest Befikadu (high jump) both finished 12th in their respective events. Max Waechter (3200-meter) emerged in 21st place, the only other Patriot to advance beyond the preliminaries. Hopes were also growing for the Heritage baseball, softball and boys golf teams in early April, with all eventually going on to have outstanding seasons. 2018

The Liberty boys’ track team won the Delta Mustang Invite at Delta College. The 4x100-meter quartet of Devon McGee, Jordyn Turner, Jake Croteau and Kenroy Higgins jetted to a 43.32 finish in the 4x100-meter relay, setting a meet record at the event. Higgins bested the competition in the 100-meter, finishing in 11.08, while Turner emerged victorious in the long jump with a season-record 22’02.00 jump. He also finished second in the 400-meter with a time of 50.67. Micah Delgado took second in the 800-meter with 2:00.33 and finished third in the 1600-meter with 4:35.36.

unbeaten baseball programs in the North Coast Section lived up to the billing when Heritage edged Foothill 1-0. Heritage’s lone run came when least expected, in the bottom of the sixth inning. After threatening to score in each of the first four innings against Foothill starter Brett Hansen, the Patriots (7-0 at the time) were set down in order by reliever James Kroll in the bottom of the fifth. Kroll then retired the first two Heritage batters in the bottom of the sixth before sophomore Chaz Myers worked a full count and drew a free pass.

of Keith Jones’s plate appearance and came around to score when Jones’s ground ball to third base one pitch later resulted in an error on the throw to first. 2017 Gene Stonebarger, a World War II veteran and 92-year community member, dedicated an American flag to the Liberty baseball and softball teams. The flag was the first to fly over the softball and baseball fields. Stonebarger and his wife, Ruth, raised five children, all of whom once played sports at Liberty High School. Also of note, Freedom star softball players Marissa Gonzales and Ryann DiBasilio signed their letters of intent to play for Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts and Bossier Parish College in Louisiana, respectively. 2016 The Deer Valley varsity wrestling team earned the North Coast Section Distinguished Scholastic Team award with a GPA of 3.36. Other awards handed out
were the boys’ MVP (Savonn Sanders), most improved (Axel Melendez), Wolverine Award (Emiliano Alvarez) and Wrestling Madman Award (Antonio Sanchez). Girls’ varsity winners included Jade Estrada (MVP), Wolverine Award (Corina Barnes) and Wrestling Madman (Katelyn Pham). Junior varsity winners selected were Frank Tirado (MVP), Logan Fontaine (Wolverine Award) and Brando Orozco (Wrestling Madman Award). Ameen Taheri took home the Freshman Award. 2015 Liberty Union High School District legends Whitney Bell (Freedom water polo and basketball), Robert Harris (Freedom tennis and water polo), Paul Ramey (Heritage basketball and water polo), Eddie Rettagliatta (Freedom basketball and baseball), Drew Torres (Liberty basketball and Freedom head basketball coach), the Briseno family and the 2002 Freedom softball team were announced as the newest members of the Liberty Union High School District Athletic Hall of Fame.
Athletic Hall of Fame ceremony rescheduled The annual Liberty Union High School District Athletic Hall of Fame induction ceremony has been rescheduled from this spring to Aug. 29, amid ongoing coronavirus con-
cerns. The annual ceremony and dinner reunites the district’s past greats and adds new company. The event will take place at 5 p.m., at Heritage High School.

Athlete of the Week by Dawnmarie Fehr Correspondent
Name: Eduardo Navarro School: Freedom High School Sport: Soccer Year: Senior Coach: Sal Acevedo
About:
Eduardo Navarro has one goal for his future - to play professional soccer in Mexico, and the 17-year-old senior has a clear path before him and is determined to stay on it to reach his goal. He first began playing soccer at a young age, when his dad handed him a soccer ball and Eduardo began kicking it all over the house. His parents put him on a recreation soccer team, then later, a competitive team. Eventually, they were driving him to San Jose for the San Jose Earthquakes Youth Academy. Eduardo said he is a right wing player, but can handle any position except goalie. When he’s on the field, he enjoys both the camaraderie of his team and the feeling he gets from putting the ball in the net. “I love dribbling with the ball, and scoring goals is a really good feeling,” he said. “It takes time and effort, putting in work every single day, trying to get better.”
Future Plans:
Photo by Dawnmarie Fehr
Eduardo will turn 18 in April, making him eligible to sign with Pachuca, a professional soccer team in central Mexico. He intends to sign with the team and move to Mexico to pursue his dream of becoming a professional soccer player, despite multiple scholarship offers from Division One schools in the U.S.
Coach’s Quote:
“Eduardo is a very intelligent player,” said Acevedo. “He reads the game extremely well. He has a combination of speed, agility, athleticism and great ball control ... He loves the game and plays with heart and passion.”

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 370 ROBINWOOD AVENUE, OAKLEY, CA 94561 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $419,127.78 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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.

The organization floated the idea of increasing the amount of housing versus office development in the area, but that suggestion was quickly shot down by city staff and councilmembers. “We need more jobs; we don’t need residential housing units being added into that area,” said Councilmember Karen Rarey. One major action-plan goal is to ensure the area remains pegged for office and technology uses; office and residential development is synchronized; and residential development fully supports future area infrastructure needs. City leaders also intend to create a public space framework and development master plan, which includes a target market and workforce analysis and determining a basic office park layout. Other action-plan goals include the following: developing a marketable name for the area; creating marketing material; showcasing the site to developers; and planning, designing or constructing several roadway improvements, including extending Jeffrey Road and furthering Sand Creek Road to Heidorn Road and the west side of the area.
Each of the plan’s suggestions is expected to return to the full council prior to moving forward, an aspect multiple councilmembers applauded. “I want to make sure that any changes have in-depth participation with the stakeholders and residents because this has always been for many years our prime opportunity for having businesses and high-quality jobs in the area,” said Vice Mayor Joel Bryant. Other action plan elements include intentions to support and advocate for construction of the planned pedestrian and bicycle overcrossing near the Mokelumne Trail at Highway 4 and exploring the feasibility of launching an agricultural experience center, likely outside of the plan area. The center, suggested by the Urban Land Institute, would showcase the area’s agricultural scene with available local farm products, among other features. “Staff is not convinced that the (planned area) is the best location for that idea, but the action plan would be to conduct a feasibility study and look at (the planned area), as well as other locations,” Grindall said.

ing the city moving forward through these times,” he said. OAKLEY City facilities, including city hall, the recreation center, parks, playgrounds and associated facilities are closed, but essential services, such as the police department, remain functioning. Closures and cancellations All city meetings, events, rentals, classes and programs are canceled through at least early April. Staff contacts Building, planning and code enforcement staff are accessible by email at their respective emails: building@ ci.oakley.ca.us, planning@ci.oakley.ca.us and codeenforcement@ci.oakley.ca.us. Code enforcement personnel, however, are currently responding only to life, health and safety issues. Economic development The city’s economic development staff has posted a number of resources relevant to COVID-19 and businesses and employees, at https://www.ci.oakley. ca.us/departments/economic-development/news-events/. Recreation Oakley recreation staff has launched a website page (https://www.ci.oakley.ca.us/recreation-center/) dedicated to unique activities, fitness routines and virtual experiences to pass the time during the shelter-in-place order. Internal operations Oakley City Manager Bryan Montgomery declined to specify how many city employees are working remotely but all are being paid. “Each employee has different tasks, and some are more conducive to working remotely and some aren’t,”
he said. “We are also providing online training opportunities and other work that can be done at home, though certainly we’re not able to do everything that we typically do.” For more information on city services during the shelter-in-place order, visit https://www.ci.oakley.ca.us. DISCOVERY BAY Discovery Bay’s water and wastewater services are continuing uninterrupted, but recreational programs and facility rentals are currently suspended. Residents can start and stop water service, make payments, resolve account issues and report problems by calling 925-634-1131. Parks Currently, the community center, dog park and Slifer and Regatta parks are closed, as is the tot lot. A variety of other recreational amenity changes are also in place. The Cornell and Ravenswood Parks’ play structures, picnic areas (including tables and benches), water fountains and bathrooms are closed. The community center’s tennis courts, walking paths, open green space and community garden are open, although social distancing and gathering guidelines should be followed. Ravenswood Park’s walking path and open green space, along with Cornell Park’s baseball field, walking paths, green space and basketball, pickleball and bocce courts, all remain open, but social distancing and gathering guidelines should be followed. Town meetings Board and committee meetings are continuing to be held but are closed to the public — although teleconference attendance and public comments are permitted. The dial-in number will be posted on the meeting agenda at https://www.todb.ca.gov/. Internal operations Only one of 18 town employees is working from home, although safeguards are in place to keep in-office employees safe, said General Manager Michael Davies. Currently, public doors are locked and social-distancing requirements are being followed, with each employee at their respective working space. Increased inoffice sanitation measures have also been implemented, Davies said. “We’ll get through it,” Davies said, referring to the ongoing crisis. “We provide essential services, water and wastewater, and people are not going to be happy if they don’t have their water or their wastewater. We take great pride in ensuring that those services will go uninterrupted.” For more information on the town’s current operations, visit https://www.todb.ca.gov.

The department has also posted COVID-19-related business and financial assistance resources at www.brentwoodca.gov/about/covid19. The department encourages business owners in need to contact the department directly for assistance. Other services A host of other city staff members or services associated with public works, parks and recreation, community enrichment, housing, planning, passports, major commercial or residential projects, business licenses and general planning and zoning may be reached by email or online portals. City meetings Arts Commission, Park and Recreation Commission, Youth Commission and Brentwood Neighborhood Committee meetings are canceled until further notice. For complete contact information, visit https:// www.brentwoodca.gov/about/covid19.asp. Internal city operations Currently, all 300 or so city employees are continuing to be paid, with about half working remotely from home, said Brentwood City Manager Tim Ogden, who noted the balance of employees is continuing routine operations as essential service members. The police and public works departments are functioning relatively unchanged, and a couple of essential city hall employees continue to report to work, he said. Most internal staff meetings are being conducted via conference call or video services. Ogden said city staff members are routinely fielding public social distancing and nonessential business inquiries throughout the day. “Our city operations are continuing as best we can, and most seem to be working well,” Ogden said. “Our biggest heartbreak is not being able to provide valuable programs to our seniors and youth through our recreation services right now, and I appreciate the creativity of staff reflected on our city’s main social media pages to stay engaged with the community.” Going forward, Ogden hinted that the city will continue to reassess employees’ roles and management techniques to drive the city through the ongoing shelter-inplace order. “It is a trying time, but I couldn’t be more pleased with the executive team and other staff who have stepped up, put in extra efforts and remained committed to keep-

Newsom announces medical initiative In a press conference held Monday, March 30, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a major initiative to expand the health care workforce and number of hospital beds in an effort to meet ongoing medical demands brought on by COVID-19. Calling for health care professionals ranging from nursing students who were prepared to graduate this year to medical retirees, Newsom’s executive order helps waive licensing and staffing requirements during the state of emergency in what will be a temporary adjustment of state standards. The administration launched healthcorps. ca.gov for those available to join the front lines of fighting the pandemic. The state will also see an additional 50,000 hospital beds. “California’s health care workers are the heroes of this mo-
ment, serving on the front lines in the fight against this disease,” Newsom said. “To treat the rising number of patients with COVID-19, our state needs more workers in the health care field to join the fight.” During the press conference, Newsom stated the universe of projected retired or active health care workers that could potentially be added to the force to meet the current demand to be 37,000. He further stated that this is temporary flexibility on staffing ratios, on scope of practice for nurse practitioners and EMTs, among others, will be through June 30. “We are calling on you to step up and step in and meet this moment,” Newsom said.
