The arrival of warmer weather means local farms are preparing to harvest their bounty of fresh fruit and vegetables, which is perfect timing for the City of Oakley. A farmers market is planting its roots in downtown Oakley and will celebrate opening day Saturday, June 2, from 8 a.m. to noon, at 3231 Main St., by Oakley’s Civic Center Park. “The people of Oakley asked for a farmers market, and the Oakley Chamber of Commerce is excited to let the people and businesses of Oakley know the chamber is sponsoring the farmers market,” said Kim Sharon, Oakley Chamber see Market page 34

by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer

The East Contra Costa Fire Protection District (ECCFPD) Board may increase its fees for providing medical aid to offset growing labor and equipment costs. The yet-to-be-approved changes would alter the fee from $337 per incident to $289.07 for the first half-hour and $263.37 for each subsequent half-hour the district spends giving aid. The current fee is charged to most people receiving medical aid from district firefighters. “In the time since the original ordinance was adopted, the district has experienced increased

The district initially budgeted $190,000 in projected revenues from the fee for the 2017-2018

fiscal year, but it has actually garnered less than $50,000, Helmick said. This lower-than-anticipated return can be attributed to several factors, including delayed implementation of the program and a smaller number of billings than was anticipated, Helmick said. The ECCFPD also doesn’t

collect fees on calls handled by mutual or automatic aid resources. The district adopted the fee in February 2016 but has only been actively collecting for about 11 months, due in large part to a strenuous implementation process, Helmick said. “The process for implementing the fee collection was quite involved and required significant staff work and coordination with the district’s vendor for invoicing and collections,” Helmick said. Thus far, the proposed rate hike has been met with mixed reactions. Board member Steve Smith said he’s in favor of the see Aid page 34

Council names standby members by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer

Oakley councilmembers will soon have standby replacements if they are unable to serve during a state of emergency. Each councilmember has named one temporary fill-in, all of whom are expected to be sworn in during the May 22 council meeting. The stand-ins will enter active duty if the councilmembers are deemed unavailable – killed, missing or seriously injured – and incapable of attending meetings or performing their duties, according to the California Government Code. They would serve until councilmembers become available or until new members are appointed. “In the unlikely chance that a natural disaster, civil unrest or other events that would prevent the council from forming a quorum necessary to take action, these council standbys would stand in,” said City Councilmember Kevin Romick Ironhouse Sanitary District Board members Doug Scheer and Dawn Mor-

row have been tapped to stand in for Mayor Randy Pope and Vice Mayor Claire Alaura. Councilmembers Doug Hardcastle, Sue Higgins and Romick have indicated that Michael Painter, Pittsburg City Councilmember Merl Craft and Antioch Mayor Sean Wright will serve as their temporary replacements. Painter is a longtime Oakley resident and a chiropractor, while Craft is Pittsburg’s former mayor. Wright, also a chiropractor and Romick’s nephew, was elected Antioch’s mayor in 2016. “In preparing for this agenda item, I couldn’t image a likely scenario given today’s technology, which would necessitate such a move,” Romick said. “But it’s best to be prepared for a worst-case situation.” The council unanimously opted to name their stand-ins in March rather than asking another decision-making body, such as the Brentwood City Council or Contra Costa Board of Supervisors, to handle the duties if the need arises. Pope said that the decision increases the chances of the standby members being available.

“ In the unlikely chance that a natural disaster, civil unrest or other events that would prevent the council from forming a quorum necessary to take action, these council standbys would stand in.

”

Kevin Romick, Oakley city councilmember “It would be less likely they would all be affected,” he said. The fill-in plan comes at a time when the city is also reviewing its emergency operations plan, a blueprint for responding to a community or regional emergency. The council, having reviewed draft plans, indicated that it would like to see additional

information included about hazardous materials and other potential identified issues or crises, such as civil unrest, earthquakes, weather events and ruptured gas mains. “The public is going to want to look at this thing and use it for strategic planning for evacuation purposes,” Romick said. Higgins added that the plan needs to identify how the city will disseminate information if the power is out and social media can’t be used. “How would we get the word out?” she asked. “Would we have a megaphone on a bus and drive around?” Oakley Police Captain Eric Christensen said that information about hazardous materials, hazard mitigation and public communication will be included in subsequent elements of the plan brought to the council at a later time. The formal plan will also need to be approved by the city council. For more information on the draft emergency operations plan, visit https://goo. gl/cHtwWe.

Some communities exempt from farm animal ordinance by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer

Parts of four unincorporated East County communities will be excluded from a new ordinance regulating the keeping and raising of farm animals. Bethel Island, Byron, Diablo, Discovery Bay and Knightsen residents living in small, single-family residential districts, two-family residential districts or singlefamily residential areas in planned-unit districts will be prohibited from keeping or raising farm animals and beekeeping. District 3 Supervisor Diane Burgis asked for the exemption in February after expressing concerns about the county’s ability to enforce the regulations in her large district. Advisory committees in all five of the exempted communities also suggested the prohibition. “I love chickens and love bees and love critters, so I am not against that lifestyle at all; it’s just primarily an enforcement issue,” Burgis said. If a full county ordinance was adopted, then one code-enforcement officer and two animal-services officers – a sergeant

rvice y Se l 9 k e We w as $9 as lo

and lieutenant – would be tasked with enforcing regulations throughout District 3, which is 113,000 acres larger than the second largest district in the county. The district covers the unincorporated areas of Antioch, Oakley, Bethel Island, Knightsen, Brentwood, Discovery Bay, Byron, Clayton, Camino Tassajara, Diablo and Blackhawk. “The basic story on this is the smaller communities have less code enforcement, less sheriff and less animal control, so to prevent from having a lot of confrontations and complaints, (the advisory committees) decided to request that it only be on large lots,” Burgis said. The regulations, scheduled to take effect May 31, include key farm animal provisions, with separate stipulations for bees and roosters. Regulations on animal and bee structures are also included. “I think (the ordinance) is a response to what we have heard from many residents from around parts of the county,” said District 1 Supervisor John Gioia, who suggested the regulations after an increased number of residents wanted to keep and raise small farm animals on residential properties.

The new rules include that: rabbits, grain-fed rodents and fowl (excluding hens) must be kept on a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet; no more than 20 fowl, rabbits and grain-fed rodents can be kept on a single lot; and livestock must be raised on a minimum lot size of 40,000 square feet, with no more than two livestock raised on one 40,000-square-foot lot. In addition, lot sizes of between 6,000 and 20,000 square feet may house four beehives; lot sizes between 20,000 and 40,000 square feet may house six beehives; and up to eight hives may be kept on a 40,000-square-foot lot. Special provisions are included for agriculturally zoned properties and commercial poultry ranches that are registered with the California Department of Food and Agriculture and produce primarily eggs or meat for commercial sale. Gioia said the regulations are a work

in progress. “We are putting this (ordinance) into effect to allow what other jurisdictions already allow,” he said. “We can evaluate it and make changes as we go along, one way or another, to respond to issues.” At least one large group of residents, however, says that no changes are needed. Jan Pinkerton-Spieth, Mt. Diablo Beekeepers Association member, said the organization is pleased with the new regulations. “The beekeepers association appreciates all the work that has been done the last several years to create this ordinance, and we support the final edition,” she said. County staff members are expected to create a working group with 4-H or other interested groups to explore issues with the ordinance. They will also report back to the board of supervisors about the ordinance’s implementation in about a year. To comment, visit www.thepress.net

Injured gosling gets a second chance Carol and Derrick Boler rescued a gosling with a mangled foot, which was later amputated. Specialists said the bird would not qualify to live on a reserve with only one leg and would have to be put down, so the couple has decided to raise him.

by Aly Brown Staff Writer

Life for an injured gosling could have ended not long after it had begun if it wasn’t for the help of human strangers and a dedicated couple who now serve as Mom and Dad. Discovery Bay residents Carol and Derrick Boler were stopped behind traffic in their small neighborhood last week when they realized the source of the holdup was a family of Canada geese. The couple got out to help. “We saw three women trying to help this family cross the road,” said Carol, who noted there were two adult geese with a large number of babies. “We noticed the two adults stayed behind as the family moved on, and they were looking at something.” That something turned out to be one of the goslings, who couldn’t stand and was flopping around on the ground. Derrick stepped closer to investigate and, despite hissing protests from upset parents, scooped up the baby. “There was just a piece of skin holding on its foot, which was badly mangled,” he said. One could assume the protective geese would have attacked the intruder for touching their offspring, but the Bolers said things changed in that moment. “They hissed at first, but once I had the baby, they just looked at me and then walked away,” Derrick said. Carol said it was as though they had

passed along the parental rights. “It was like they were saying, ‘He’s yours now,’” she said. Despite a busy schedule that day, Derrick took the wee bird to Medical Center for Birds in Oakley for an exam. In the office, the vet wasn’t sure the gosling would have a chance. Derrick asked about the wildlife animal refuge in Walnut Creek to see if that was an option, but the specialists said that a bird with a missing leg was not releasable – it wouldn’t qualify to live on a reserve and would be euthanized. “They said, ‘If (we’re going to fix his

leg), you need to commit to taking care of him, otherwise, he needs to be put down,’” Carol said. The Bolers made a decision: they were going to give the little goose a shot at life. As retired law-enforcement officers with grown children, they embraced the new challenge. The vet clipped the limp foot off its body, treated it with antibiotics and wrapped it in a tiny cast. “The people at the vet’s office kept referring to (the gosling) as Stumpie,” Carol said. “So we decided to name him Stumpie.” Stumpie, who was roughly 2 weeks old

when his leg was amputated, was given seven days to live. But on his most recent vet visit this week, he had seen eight days and was eating with a healthy appetite. The Bolers report Stumpie sleeps in a crate at night and wakes when they do in the morning. He nuzzles into his adopted parents’ necks and loves to snuggle. His new family consists of humans, a cat and a German shepherd who has already formed a friendship with the tiny newcomer. Once large enough, a prosthetic leg may be in his future, but until then, he’s under a schedule of physical therapy to gain strength before he gains weight. “We put him in a tub of water that’s low enough to practice bearing weight on his leg,” Derrick said. “Then we fill it higher so he can swim and do a little hydrotherapy. He just swims in circles.” The Bolers are currently on a house hunt that will eventually take them out of state. But they said their new home will definitely have a few acres with a private pond for Stumpie the goose. They have no plans to clip his wings, because they want to give him the chance to fly if he makes a sound recovery. But based on the connection he’s already formed with his new parents – and the breed’s familial loyalty – they have a hunch he’s there to stay. “We’re committed,” Carol said. “We’re going to do everything we can to give him a good life.” To view a video, visit www.thepress.net/ multimedia

A day of advocacy, support for immigrants by Aly Brown Staff Writer

Individuals, families and advocacy groups from all over the state gathered at the capitol this week for Immigrant Day 2018, and Contra Costa County was represented among them. Buses lined the streets, and tents and blankets were nestled on the lawn as groups filed in and out of the capitol building for appointments with senators and assemblymembers. The May 14 event was part of a 20-year tradition of convening in Sacramento for a day of advocacy for immigrants. “The event went well, and members of government were friendly and receptive,” said Brentwood resident Vanessa Velasco, who works for Central American Resource Center (CARECEN SF). “(Assemblymember David Chiu) is a supporter of the bills that will help immigrants with Temporary Protected Status (TPS), and he’s co-sponsoring one of the bills that will help allocate funds to help with legal representation for families with TPS.” Along with their allies, TPS holders who have resided legally in the U.S. and are now facing deportation stand behind a handful of bills on the table – some of which would provide a path to naturalization after an individual obtains lawfully admitted for permanent residence (LPR) status. Of the bills, the American Promise Act of 2017 (HR 4253) has gathered the most support from co-sponsors and would provide TPS holders the opportunity to apply for naturalization five years after adjusting to LPR status along with deportation relief while the application process is pending. TPS has been at the center of Velasco’s thoughts since the administration shift, which has led her into an advocate role. She and her husband are Salvadoran na-

Advocacy groups throughout the state convened at the steps of the capitol building in Sacramento for Immigrant Day on Monday, May 14. tionals and entered the U.S. in 2001 when their homeland was devastated by earthquakes and the residual violence and corruption of a civil war. Each year since then, the Department of Homeland Security has deemed the country unfit for the return of refugees like Velasco, until January 2018. Now, with three American children – and one accepted to her dream college – the couple hopes a bill to grant residency will pass so their family will not face separation. Many other TPS advocates, such as Manuel de Paz of Berkeley-based nonprofit East Bay Sanctuary Cove-

nant, support every bill with the intent to provide a path to residency. But de Paz noted utilizing funds to help those who can’t represent themselves was also important. “We came to advocate and lift up the voices for TPS,” said de Paz. “We are supporting every bill but also asking for the state to put in the budget funds for legal services for those with TPS.” Another group from the Bay was First Five Contra Costa, which met with state senators Steve Glazier and Nancy Skinner throughout the day. And CARECEN SF members merged with other immigrant advocacy groups to meet with Sen. Scott Wiener and implore him to support the Health4All Adults bill. Touting #health4all signs, those in support of the measure noted health care to be a human right, regardless of immigration status. “I want to thank you all for your advocacy,” Wiener said to the group that had gathered outside his office. “We’re under assault right now, and I know in the immigrant communities, there’s so much terror – and you know that more than I do ... We’re doing what we can to push back … I agree that we need to get everyone health care.” While many showed support of the bills in question, many came to show support of the immigrants regardless of how the bills would impact them individually. Maria Valites of East Bay Sanctuary Covenant shared her story of immigration, and while she’s now a U.S. citizen, she continues to campaign for those who are fighting for TPS. “I support TPS and everyone who is right here,” Valites said. “I came here in 1983 and became a citizen and had my children. But I come every day to volunteer and support everyone.” For more information on Immigrant Day, visit www. caimmigrant.org/events/immigrantday.

Markers like this one welcoming visitors to the Delta, may soon be replaced with historically relevant and culturally sensitive signs.

The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta provides a wealth of recreational opportunities including historic towns, U-pick fruits and vegetables, wineries, shopping and boating – if you know how to find them. Navigating through the Delta region on two or four wheels can be daunting to the novice. Unless a well-prepared traveler knows exactly what they are looking for, they can easily miss some of the true gems available in the region. But now, the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Conservancy is taking steps to make it easier for tourists to get the most out of their visit to the Delta. “One of the things that the we realized is that when people talk about the Delta,

they’re not even really sure what it means,” said Contra Costa County Supervisor Diane Burgis. “And so one of the things that the Delta Protection Commission is doing is trying to help people understand it as a place – not only as an environment that’s very sensitive, but it also has a heritage, a history, a culture, an economy that needs to be supported. So these signs that we’re looking at putting up will help people understand the Delta better.” The Delta is an area that is approximately 50 miles long. It sits between the Central Valley and the San Francisco Bay and contains portions of five counties – Solano, Yolo, Contra Costa, San Joaquin and Sacramento. It is bordered roughly by Sacramento to the north, Tracy to the south, see Signs page 12

No, not a dental check-up. When was the last time you checked on your homeowners insurance? For most of us, homeowners insurance is something you order when you buy your home and then forget about. Here is a list of things you’ll want to discuss with your agent if they apply to you: Have you added on to the home? Extra room, pool, back yard shed, etc.? Has your home drastically risen in value? Have you started a home business? Do clients visit you at the home? Have you purchased an expensive piece of furniture, artwork, piano or a computer? Have you purchased any expensive “personal floaters”? (A personal floater is something that is portable, like a laptop, jewelry, digital camera, etc.) Check to see if you are covered if these get lost, damaged, or stolen. Also find out if these items are covered no matter where they are. For example, what happens if you lose your laptop on vacation? And don’t forget your other portable digital devices like mobile

phones and tablets. The sum total of all these could be thousands of dollars. You’ll want to discuss with your agent whether any of the above will require a change to your existing policy. You’ll also want to find out if you need to provide an inventory list to your agent now. Everyone talks about walking around the house taking an inventory of their personal belongings with a video camera, but have you done it? Your insurance company very likely has forms for you to use in creating a personal property inventory, along with advice about how to compile the inventory and where to store it. (Somewhere other than in your house, obviously.) In case of fire, natural disaster, or theft, you will thank yourself for having taken the time to do this inventory of your possessions.

Keeping your pets safe The ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) has provided the following guide identifying which cleaning products, human medications and cosmetic items to keep out of your pet’s reach. Bleach Pet parents are often curious about the risks associated with cleaning their pets’ cages and toys with bleach. The bottom line is this – cleaning your pet’s cage or toy with a properly diluted bleach solution followed by a thorough rinsing and airing out is not expected to cause harm. If the odor of bleach seems overwhelming, open windows and use fans to air the room. Carpet fresheners Proper use of carpet deodorizing products should not cause significant harm or injury to pets. Should your pet accidentally come in contact with the freshly applied powder, it is recommend to wash the paws with mild soap and water to avoid skin irritation.

cause drooling, vomiting, oral and esophageal ulcers and fever. These clinical signs do require treatment by a veterinarian. Grout Grout sealers vary widely in toxicity, from nontoxic to alkaline corrosive. Alkaline products like cationic detergents can cause drooling, vomiting, oral and esophageal ulcers. Toilet cleaning tablets Should a dog take a drink of the diluted water in the toilet bowl, most toilet bowl cleaning tablets would not be expected to cause problems beyond minor stomach upset. Vinegar and water A solution of vinegar and water is used as an inexpensive alternative to commercial cleaning agents. Vinegar is typically acidic, and vinegar (depending on the solution concentration) acts as an irritant. Ingesting concentrated or undiluted vinegar can cause vomiting, diarrhea, oral irritation and pain.

Take a Trip to the Museum!

There are many different kinds of museums: art museums, history museums, nature museums and more. It can be fun to go to a museum, but sometimes that is just not possible.

There are many museums devoted to food! In Vermont there is a Maple Syrup Museum. In California, there is a Banana Museum. In Wisconsin there is a museum dedicated to this food product. Take a guess, then gather the letters along the correct path of the maze to spell the name of the food.

Family Memories

Long before there were cameras, people had paintings made of their family members. How many differences can you find in these portraits?

Standards Link: Reading Comprehension: Follow simple written directions.

This week, Kid Scoop takes you on a pretend visit to a few different kinds of museums. Grab your imagination and let’s go!

Stockton to the east and Pittsburg to the west. It encompasses 750,000 acres and is fed by watersheds from the western slope of the Sierras and the eastern slope of the Coastal Range. The Delta Marketing Task Force identified a need for improved signs in its fiveyear marketing plan. The task force joined with the Delta Conservancy and the Delta Protection Commission on the project while the Delta Stewardship Council contributed the necessary funding, and in the fall of 2017, the Acorn Group was hired to develop the plan. “The intent of (the plan) is that anyone in the Delta that would like to put up signs can take it and use it as a guide,” said Brandon Chapin of the Delta Conservancy. “We will have already worked with the community and come up with a design that everyone likes. And also (it will identify) where the best locations might be. It’s a public process to get a general look and feel for everything that most people agree on.” In the early 2000s, the Discover the Delta Foundation created the current “Entering the Delta” signs that can still be found scattered throughout the region, though they are few and far between. Chapin explained that the plan developed over a series of five public meetings held between November and May. The first three meetings gathered input on the designs, locations and messages that residents in the Delta communities wanted conveyed, while the last two meetings reviewed drafts of the plan. The final plan is expected to be adopted in next month. “One thing we were really thinking about and was brought up by the community in the meetings was having some flexibility so that things like iconography can be switched out between different types of signs,” said Stacy Hayden of the Delta Protection Commission. “You may have (a sign) that’s very culturally related in Locke where maybe you’ll have something wildlife related in Brannan Island. But you’ll still be able to get that sense that there’s that consistency wherever you are in the Delta.” For more information visit, www.deltaconservancy.ca.gov, www.delta.ca.gov or visit www.cadelta.com.

Family Matters

by Silky Sahnan, esq. Age in Marriage and Divorce When it comes to marriage, many people wonder if age really matters. Is there an ideal age for marriage? For divorce? There is no right or wrong answer to any of these questions. However, there are some factors and studies that can be applied to these questions. Age Gaps in Couples According to the New York Post, the bigger the age gap, the shorter the marriage. “A five-year age gap statistically means you’re 18 percent more likely to divorce (versus just 3 percent with a one year age difference), and that rate rises to 39 percent for a 10-year age difference and 95 percent for a 20-year age gap.” Can Age at Marriage Predict Divorce? The Institute for Family Studies blog discusses the research showing that

young couples marriages typically end in divorce more so than older couples, however there is also a rise in divorces for couples who wait until later in life to marry. Regardless of these studies, successful marriages succeed when they are built on open communication skills and maturity. Older Couples Marital conflict can happen at any age. Gray divorce has become very common in recent years – in fact, it has more than doubled since 1990. Despite all this information around marriage, divorce and age, there are no rules when it comes to the right age or the right time. Do what is right for yourself.

Incident Date: May 8 Headline: Driver tumbles into Discovery Bay ravine

WWW.THEPRESS.NET

by Joan Grimes, Esq.

Do you know how you hold title to your property? There are many different ways to hold title and most people don’t spend much time thinking about it. It is important to know how you hold title to your property because it can have huge consequences. Holding property if you are married, but don’t have a trust If you are married and don’t have a trust, many people assume that the best way to hold title is as joint tenants. Prior to 2001, this was correct, because joint tenancy allowed property to pass automatically without a probate. However, holding title as joint tenants can have negative tax consequences. Under Joint Tenancy, when the first spouse dies, the property will be transferred to the survivor, but the survivor may only take a half step-up in basis. For example, let’s say the property was purchased for $100,000 and is held by the owners as joint tenants. When the first person dies, let’s also assume the property is now worth $500,000. Instead of receiving a full step-up in basis to the $500,000, the survivor will only receive half step-up in basis. In 2001, the California legislature added a new way for couples to hold title, which is ‘community property with the right of survivorship.’ Similar to joint tenancy, holding title as community property with the right of survivorship allows the survivor to automatically receives the decedent’s interest in the property without a will or probate. Unlike with joint tenancy with right of survivorship, this form allows the survivor to take a full step-up in basis rather than only half at the death of the first spouse.

Holding property if you have a revocable living trust (“trust”) If you have a trust, check to make sure your property is in your trust. Many people come to our office with all their trust documents, but after doing a title search, we discover that none of their property has been transferred into the trust. To make sure your property is in the trust, check your grant deed to ensure the name of your trust is on the deed. There are several key benefits to holding your property in a trust. First, upon the passing of the first person, the survivor will automatically receive the decedent’s interest in the property while also bypassing the probate process. Second, the survivor will receive the full step-up in basis for tax purposes, assuming the title to the property was previously as community property or the trust provides that the property is community. Third, if both trustees are still living and one person becomes incapacitated, the other trustee is able to manage or even sell the property without the need of a conservatorship or using a power of attorney. If you are concerned about how you are holding title to your property, come visit us and we can check for you. Additionally, if you find that you are not holding property in a manner most beneficial for you and your family, we can help you make the change. We meet with people every day in our Brentwood and Walnut Creek offices, and we offer free, 30-minute initial consultations. Call us at 925-939-1680 or visit our website at www.lawofficesofjoangrimes.com.

Summer activities are being promoted all over social media as the countdown to summer fun begins.

…

A Facebook event was posted for parents to add the Try It Truck to their social calendars. The Try It Truck is coming to the Brentwood Library (located at 35 Oak St.) on June 14, from 10 a.m. to noon. This fun opportunity will offer kids hands-on exploration stations from the Bay Area Discovery Museum. This free event is for all ages and is brought to you by the Contra Costa Library Summer Reading program. This summer program is designed to help keep kids engaged with reading and exploration throughout their summer break.

…

The 2018 Summer Bike Challenge is another fun summer activity being promoted on social media. Kids and adults can enjoy exploring their hometown by bicycle and get free prizes at certain location on certain days throughout the summer months. Just download a printable challenge card at www.511contracosta.org/sbc to get started. Riders can enter into the grand prize drawing for a mini iPad after completing the challenge.

…

There are also fun evening activities coming this summer, including Movies in the Park in Discovery Bay. According to multiple socialmedia posts, the movies in Discovery Bay will start on June 15 and run weekly throughout the summer months. Movies will start at dusk and will be played outside of the community center located at 1601 Discovery Bay Blvd. Moviegoers need to bring lawn chairs and maybe a blanket in case it gets cool.

…

If listening to live music is how you like to spend your Friday evenings, then head over to the City of Brentwood Parks and Recreation Department Facebook page where they are promoting their Starry Nights live concerts. Mark your calendars for this popular weekly summer event. The musical concert series starts on Friday, June 15, and will run weekly (except for July 6) through Friday, Aug 24, from 7 to 9 p.m., at City Park, located at 710 Second St., in downtown Brentwood. Concertgoers are encouraged to bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit on and enjoy a fun evening with family and friends.

Keep an eye out for the ghostlight

Editor: The Brentwood Theater Company (BTC) delighted theater audiences for seven years, but company organizer Jack Gaughan and his wife, Betty, have decided to retire from theater management. Having recently been presented with two Shellie Awards for excellence in regional theater for the BTC’s 2017 summer production of “Crazy for You,” local theater lovers feel inspired to continue achieving the level of excellence that gives recognition to the arts in Far East County. The result is Ghostlight Theatre Ensemble (GTE), a new nonprofit community theatre with the mission of “keepin’ the light on” for live theater in our communities. You may have seen recent articles on GTE in the local press. If you haven’t, check them out at www.ghostlightte. org/news. We know that theater enriches the lives of all who participate on either side of the footlights. Theater lovers represent a diversity of age, culture and life experience. Seeing the positive impact that theater can have on youth, senior citizens, local businesses and a community identity is a humbling but energizing experience for all of us at Ghostlight Theatre Ensemble. The board of directors is determined to continue enriching the lives of the citizens in far East County by continuing to bring quality theater to the people of the area. But to be frank, we need your help. Less than half of the funds required to produce shows and run a theater company come from ticket sales. The bulk of the rest of the funding comes from other resources – individuals, families, civic service groups and businesses that have a strong appreciation for the fact

that local arts organizations raise the quality of life in every community. Because Ghostlight Theatre Ensemble is starting from the ground up, we need upfront funding to cover royalties, facility rental costs, costumes, sets, props, lighting, publicity and more for our summer production of “Man of La Mancha” and our Performing Arts Youth Academy production of “Seussical KIDS.” These fees, as well as insurance costs and other fees that every business has, are going to total over $10,000 before we even sell our first ticket! We hope that we can count on you to “step into the light” by becoming a member of our Main Stage Patron Program. We know you will as excited about the future of Ghostlight Theatre Ensemble as we are, and we appreciate your support at any level.

Place an advisory committee on the November ballot

Editor: Our regional fire district, East Contra Costa Fire Protection District (ECCFPD), provides inadequate service to the residents of Brentwood and East County – inadequate service caused by structural underfunding. It is a public-safety emergency when it takes 16 minutes to respond to a traffic accident where a victim in need of hospital transport waited for 16 minutes for help to arrive. It is a public-safety emergency when ECCFPD is regularly unable to respond to emergency calls for extended periods of time. This public-safety emergency is caused by the state’s underfunding of the fire district.

Correcting this underfunding is an admittedly complex task. The change involves a series of state laws that are decades old, and correcting this situation involves politics at the local and state levels. One tool that can be useful in politics is the advisory election. An advisory election, as described in the California Elections Code, would allow East County residents to go on record and voice their opinion of today’s government funding practices. This voting result would be empirical evidence that the community favors altering current governmentservices funding practices. The evidence would show the public’s desire to increase funding to emergency services. With this evidence, governments at all levels will have a clear indication of the will of the people and can act accordingly. An advisory election would help overcome the political inertia that exists today. An advisory election would help overcome the reluctance to change the status quo – a change that is necessary to address this public-safety emergency. So I ask the ECCFPD Board to investigate this useful political tool and to place an advisory election on the November ballot. Bryan Scott Brentwood

Fun, family adventure

Editor: I liked going to Disneyland. There are so many characters there, and Disneyland is really special because of that. It’s really far, but you can still take a car. My favorite ride is Thunder Mountain Railroad. Disneyland is so fun! It’s the most funnest thing, but you have to travel a long way from Brentwood. Sam Wallace, 5 Brentwood

Pirates, Patriots, Lions dominate BVAL meet by Michael Dixon Correspondent

The Bay Valley Athletic League (BVAL) track season wrapped up in Pittsburg last weekend with the league championship meet.

The host Pirates claimed victory in 14 individual events including all four relays. Freshman Ariane Nelson, senior Tatiana Crayton, senior Triniti McCutchen and sophomore Trinity Bolden combined to win the girls’ 4x100 relay. Bolden, Crayton, junior Elizabeth Hernandez and Nelson won the 4x400 relay. On the boys’ side, junior Jalen Adams, junior Willie Hart III, senior Jalen Mitchell and senior A’Jae Boyd took the 4x100 relay. The senior quartet of Mitchell, Boyd, Jamil Edwards and Titin Davis Jr. won the 4x400 relay. Junior Gabriella Serrianni (girls’ shot put, girls’ discus) and junior John Maka (boys’ shot put, boys’ discus) both claimed two individual event wins for Pittsburg. Senior Teaun-Tr’e Pierce, meanwhile, won three events (boys’ long jump, boys’ triple jump and boys’ 300-meter hurdles)

Heritage tennis team A determined effort finishes strong season by Michael Dixon Correspondent

The Heritage boys’ tennis season came to a close recently, and in some ways, the season was an unqualified success. The Patriots ran through the Bay Valley Athletic League (BVAL). But it also left them with some definitive goals for future seasons. The team season ended in the first round of the North Coast Section (NCS) playoffs where Heritage was defeated by No. 3 overall seed Amador Valley in the first round. Sophomore Seiya Duran was the lone victorious Patriot, winning his match 6-1, 7-6. Heritage, like other BVAL schools, has yet to taste victory in the NCS postseason. The good news is that the Patriots will be in decent position to change that with most of their varsity lineup expected to return in 2019. In the individual bracket, Duran was unable to repeat his success in 2017, when he reached the semifinals as a freshman. He did, however, put

an impressive run to the quarterfinals together. Duran posted a clean 6-0, 6-0 victory over Mt. Eden’s Austin Ralleta in the first round. In the quarterfinals, he drew defending champion and top seed Kobe Tran from James Logan. Tran won the match but was pushed to a 6-3, 6-3 win by Duran. Heritage sent two teams to the doubles bracket. Juniors Herman Austero III and Sahil Chandra, who regularly play as the No. 2 and No. 3 singles players, paired off as a doubles team. They were defeated by the Cal High tandem of Alex Long and Victorio Petit in the first round. Seniors Jonathan Smith and Jose Saucelo also played in the NCS doubles event. They, too, lost in the first round, 6-0, 6-0 to the San Ramon Valley team of Dylan Vassel and Jake Vassel. There wasn’t much that could have been done in that match up, though. The Vassels ended up cruising to victory in the tournament dropping only 13 total games and no sets en route to their championship.

Patriots baseball team knocks off Lions by Nate Smith Correspondent

After falling to Pittsburg on May 8, the Heritage baseball team had its back against the wall heading into the May 10 game against rival Liberty. The Patriots responded with one of their top performances of the year to down the Lions, 8-2, and regain control of the race for the Bay Valley Athletic League title. Heritage had fallen a game behind Liberty in the league standings with the May 8 loss and was tied for second with Freedom. The Patriots, though, forged a 3-0 lead after four innings and then blew the game open with a five-run sixth inning, cruising to the win at home and sweeping the season series against Liberty. While starting pitcher Bryson Kinnick was keeping Liberty off the scoreboard, the Heritage offense chipped away at Lions’ pitcher Justin Prince until the sixth inning when Tyler Winters replaced Prince on the mound. Winters got the first out of the inning, but Aidan Quinn got things started with a double for the Patriots. Ryan Jackson reached on an error, and Chaz Myers followed with a two-strike single to score Quinn. A throwing error allowed Jackson to score all the way from first for a 5-0 lead. Myers was caught stealing third for the second out of the inning. Back-to-back

batters were hit by pitches setting up Keith Jones who turned on a 2-0 fastball into a three-run homer. The Patriots took an insurmountable 8-0 lead over the Lions. “I was just looking for a fastball on the inside half, especially because I had seen fastballs early in the game,” Jones said. “I saw more off-speed pitches and stuff on the outside after I hit my double, but I felt they were going to try and challenge me in that situation. Once I hit it, I knew it was gone.” The three-run blast by Jones provided some breathing room. It allowed Heritage coach Kevin Brannan to go to his bullpen in the top of the seventh after Kinnick issued a one-out walk.

The move to lift Kinnick was not immediately successful. Riley Bosler drilled a two-run homer off senior Jack Erickson and the next two batters walked. Ryan Jackson then took the mound, and after loading the bases with another walk, he retired the next two batters to end the game. The victory put the Patriots on the top of the league standings. “Getting a win was big, and we knew coming in that we needed to wake up our bats, because our performance against Pittsburg was not acceptable,” added Quinn, who scored twice in the victory. “Bryson threw a gem, and when we have our bats going, we’re hard to beat.”

Kinnick finished the game having gone six and one-third innings allowing four hits while striking out two. Prince allowed just three hits in five innings for Liberty, but four walks and three errors defensively proved to be damaging. Aside from Heritage’s win over Liberty, Freedom fell in an upset to Deer Valley, 3-2. Justin Tamelier was brilliant on the mound for the Wolverines who overcame an early 2-0 deficit to knock the Falcons into third place. Freedom and Liberty play next week, in a game that could have potential title ramifications. To view a slideshow, visit www.thepress. net/multimedia/slideshows

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 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-15-691775-BF. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

In the Auction.com Room Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $191,149.91 The purported property address is: 1550 TRAWLER STREET, DISCOVERY BAY, CA 94514 Assessor’s Parcel No.: 004-340-013-4 NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-17802811-CL. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

Stamp celebrating 100th anniversary of U.S. Airmail Service lands in Concord The U.S. Postal Service paid tribute to the beginning of airmail service when it issued the U.S. Air Mail Forever stamp earlier this year. To mark the 100th anniversary of that service, three vintage biplanes retraced the pioneering west coast airmail route from San Diego to Seattle with a stop at Buchanan Field in Concord on May 15. On the morning of May 15, 1918, as President Wilson and members of

Market from page 1 of Commerce president. The chamber hopes the new farmers market will not only help support local farmers but will also increase the exposure of business in the downtown area and offer the opportunity for small and local area vendors to showcase their items. “The Oakley Farmers Market will also benefit the community, as it is a great place to gather with family and friends to shop, chat and enjoy what our city businesses and farms have to offer,” said Sharon. The chamber is working with All Bay Farmers Market Association to produce the weekly event, which will feature fresh California produce, local area merchants, live music and other tasty treats. “It’s a great opportunity for the City of Oakley to have its own farmers market,” said Bill Harlow, All Bay Farmers Market Association general manager. “There’s a certain feeling of pride when a city gets their own.” According to Harlow, farmers markets not only support local farms, which are often family-owned, but also celebrate communities, shopping local and gathering with friends and family. However, the main attraction is the fresh produce. The Oakley Farmers Market will feature an assortment of produce from local farms,

Aid from page 1 proposed increase, because it proves to the public that the district is trying to solve its financial problems. The district has dropped from eight stations in 2008 to three today. “It’s a little disappointing about the (income from fees) coming in, but the principle here has been to show the public we are trying everything we can (to help the financially struggling district),” Smith said. Fellow fire board member Joe Young, however, admitted that he’s never been a fan of the program, feeling that it charges residents for a service they already pay for. “The public is already paying for the fire district, so what we are doing is cutting out a piece of that and saying we are going to charge specific users, even though as a whole the public has paid for that service,”

Congress watched, a young Army pilot eased a wood and fabric biplane from Potomac Park in Washington, D.C., bound for New York. The first government-operated airmail flight in America was underway. May 15, 2018, marked the 100th anniversary of that service and the Concord stop along the 1,200 mile West Coast airmail route was historically commemorative. The U.S. Post Office Department,

including organic. “When you buy produce from a grocery store, there is a diluted freshness,” said Harlow. “Fruit and vegetables are picked then packaged and transported to grocery stores, which can take weeks. There is a freshness that you just can’t get from outside of a farmers market, where the produce was picked the day before or the morning of the market.” According to Harlow, when it comes to fresh produce, Oakley’s Farmers Market could not have better timing with its opening day. “The harvest season is just beginning, and strawberries are at their prime,” he said. “Each week, we will have more and more of the season’s harvest, including cherries, peaches, apricots, pluots and other fresh fruits and vegetables all picked at their peak.” Harlow is also welcoming local producers to join the event as vendors. “I really want to feature as many local flavors and vendors as possible,” said Harlow. Starting June 2, the Oakley Farmers Market will run rain or shine every Saturday, from 8 a.m. to noon, at 3231 Main St., in downtown Oakley.

Residents in attendance at a recent fire board meeting were in favor of the change. “I know it doesn’t look real good, but I feel that we need to carry on with this to show that we are doing everything within the ability of the board to generate whatever money we can,” said Bethel Island resident Mark Whitlock. “I would like to see the project go forward and see if we can make it work a little bit better.” The public hearing, during which the proposed increases could be adopted, is scheduled for the fire board’s June 4 meeting inside the Brentwood City Council chambers, at 6:30 p.m. For more information on the proposed rate hikes, visit https://goo.gl/JKdEL6.

the predecessor to the U.S. Postal Service, took charge of the U.S. Air Mail Service later that summer, operating it from Aug. 12, 1918, through Sept. 1, 1927. Airmail delivery, daily except on Sundays, became part of the fabric of the American economy and spurred growth of the nation’s aviation industry. For airmail service to succeed in the early days of flight, the Post Office had to develop profitable routes, such as between New York and Chicago, and

to establish the infrastructure for safely making night flights. It set up lighted airfields and erected hundreds of airmail guide beacons between New York and San Francisco so that by 1924 regularly scheduled, transcontinental flying was possible, day and night. The U.S. Air Mail stamp is being issued as a Forever stamp. This Forever stamp will always be equal in value to the current First Class Mail 1 ounce price.

ARE YOU READY FOR FIRE SEASON? Fire season is just around the corner, and with many prior years of record drought, the record-breaking rains of 2017 and the continuing rains of this year, there is vegetation all over the fire district. As the weather begins to warm and the rains begin to cease, the once live vegetation dries out and dies, combining with the previous year’s dead vegetation to create especially dangerous fuel loads that contribute to larger wild land fires. This is why the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District (ECCFPD) recommends every homeowner have defensible space around their homes. “Creating defensible space is essential to improve your home’s chance of surviving a wildfire,” says representatives at the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire). “It’s the buffer you create between a building on your property and the grass, trees, shrubs or any wild land area that surrounds it. This space is needed to slow or stop the spread of wildfire, and it protects your home from catching fire – either from direct flame contact or radiant heat. Defensible space is also important for the protection of the firefighters defending your home.” It may only be the start of May, but it is never too early to prepare for fire season in the State of California. Not sure of what to do? Visit www.readyforwildfire.org/defensible-space for tips and recommendations on how you can better prepare your property for the upcoming fire season. Not sure on what the requirements are? Visit https://goo.gl/Mu8PdD for a printable PDF of the ECCFPD’s minimum weed-abatement standards ordinance. For all other questions, contact the ECCFPD at 925-634-3400.
