School threats addressed

November 16, 2018

Here Come The Holidays

by Tony Kukulich Staff Writer

Students and staff on one of the Liberty Union High School District’s campuses have been targeted with threats of physical violence delivered via social media for a number of weeks, and school officials held a meeting Tuesday, Nov. 13, to discuss the event in its entirety.

Parents packed the Career Center room at Freedom High School to hear comments from and ask questions of Principal Kelly Manke, Liberty Union High School District Superintendent Eric Volta and Sgt. Robert Roberts from the Oakley Police Department regarding the school’s reaction to the threats and the status of the investigation into the person or persons responsible for causing widespread anxiety and stress in the school community.

“We were hoping tonight to give people the opportunity to ask questions and learn about the events and where we are now about the threats that were made back in October,”

Parents gathered at Freedom High School Friday, Nov. 9, to protest the lack of information regarding threats made against students and staff via social media. said Manke. “ ... I think that the overall response was really positive tonight.”

After Manke offered a chronology of the incidents that have occurred so far, Roberts provided an update on the investigation stating that no arrests have been made and no suspects have been identified by name. The investigation did determine that the threat of violence was not credible.

“This is still an ongoing investigation,” said Roberts. “It hasn’t slowed down for our depart-

ment at all. The FBI currently has two or three cell phones that they sent off to be analyzed that we got from students here at the school.”

Snapchat – a social-media application used by the suspect – is cooperating with the investigation to the extent it is required by law, according to Roberts. The app’s officials have complied with search warrants requesting information and data, but the process has imsee Threats page 30A

City launching entrepreneur center

by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer

Oakley’s home-based business owners and entrepreneurs will soon have an affordable option to expand into office space.

The city will open an entrepreneur center in the upper level of 3330 Main St., offering individual offices, conference rooms, co-working space and more, for approximately $300 a month.

“We are very excited about the center’s opening and look forward to better serving Oakley’s small business and entrepreneur community,” said Oakley Economic Development Manager Dwayne Dalman.

The 2,200-square-foot center, scheduled to open in January, is touted as an affordable, less cap-

ital-intensive option for start-up and home-based entrepreneurs who are ready to grow but lack income to cover office building rent – routinely $1,000 or more per month.

Co-working spaces will cost $250 a month and individual offices $350, which covers furnishings, utilities, use of a wireless network and common printer.

The center, expected to accommodate 15 to 20 businesses, will have individual offices suitable for three businesses; co-working space with 10 desks, couches and lounge chairs; two co-working desks for four people; and one coworking desk for two people, said Dalman. He noted the co-working spaces will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, since

typical co-working space tenants come and go as their schedules permit.

“With this scenario, all of the users of a co-working space would not be there at the same time,” Dalman said. “This allows for more than 10 businesses to sign up for the co-working space even though there are only desks for 10.”

Entrepreneur facilities tend to foster enhanced productivity and structure as they free users from at-home distractions. Other perks are networking opportunities with like-minded business owners and flexibility to expand into an office space without a long-term lease, furniture purchase or covering utility bills, city officials said.

Two-story medical office approved

by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer

The Oakley City Council recently cleared the way for another addition to the evolving downtown.

The council approved plans for a twostory, 21,033-square-foot medical and dental office building on 0.38 acres on the northwest corner of Main Street and Norcross Lane.

“It will be an attractive building,” said city planning manager Josh McMurray. “It pulls elements and materials from a lot of the buildings that have been constructed in the immediate vicinity and will really add a nice touch and bring a lot of people to the downtown.”

The building is slated to house eight or nine medical or dental offices, including a general dentist, orthodontist and pediatric dentist, said project manager Jim Kimball. It may also include a primary care physician’s group

or pediatric practice and other specialties like optometry, dermatology and sports medicine.

Project officials hope to break ground in the spring of 2019 and be fully operational by early 2020, Kimball said.

“We are very excited to have the opportunity to provide the City of Oakley with its first large-scale office building dedicated to medical and dental practitioners,” Kimball said.

One resident, identified only as L. Harms, opposed the project in a letter to the council, because it didn’t satisfy the city’s small-town feel.

City officials, however, noted that the future two-story building is well below the area’s four-story limit.

“There are two-story buildings across the street that have been there since the beginning of time in Oakley,” said City Councilmember Doug Hardcastle.

Leaving a legacy of service

by Tony Kukulich Staff Writer Before his death last month, Korean War veteran Alfredo Garcia had more strength and stamina than many men half his age, and he spent that energy taking care of his family, veterans and his beloved community of Brentwood where he lived for the last 63 years.

“At 85 he still had so much energy,” said Victoria Garcia, youngest daughter of Alfredo.

“He had lots of energy, (and a) big heart.”

Alfredo passed away on Oct. 24, but the story of the man referred to by friends and family as “the unofficial mayor of Brentwood” isn’t in his passing. Rather it’s in the legacy of service and selflessness that he leaves behind.

Mike Clement, hall manager at Brentwood Veterans Hall, was close with Alfredo for many years and said that he worked tirelessly at the facility without complaint. According to Mike, Alfredo would often show up late at night after an event and work until 2 or 3 a.m., not leaving until it was spotless and everything was put away.

“He had been retired, but he still had a purpose in work,” said Mike. “His purpose was his dedication to veterans and his dedication to this hall 100 percent along with dedication to his family at 200 percent. There was not enough Al Garcia to go around, but there was a lot of Al in one guy. And nobody ever felt cheated.”

Victoria also spoke about Alfredo’s dedication to his wife and three daughters.

“He loved us girls, but my mom was

“ He cared about his country. He cared about Brentwood. And he cared about people.

”

Victoria Garcia, daughter number one,” said Victoria. “He loved her so much. She was so lucky. He truly, truly loved her.”

Alfredo was interviewed by Mike’s son, Matthew Clement, as part of Matthew’s Eagle Scout project, and that video interview was accepted by the Library of Congress for

inclusion in the Veterans History Project.

Matthew said it was Alfredo’s ability to persevere that most impressed him.

“Something that I learned from Al is that you can always do it,” said Matthew. “It doesn’t matter how hard or how easy it is. It matters how you can maneuver through it. I learned how to never give up on anything, even if it was the hardest thing in the world.”

Alfredo’s far-reaching impact on his community was reflected in each of the nearly 400 people who showed up for his memorial service.

“He cared about his country,” said Victoria. “He cared about Brentwood. And he cared about people.”

OUT OF AREA AGENTS We are seeing a big increase in the number of out of area agents that are bringing buyer clients to “affordable” East County.

I welcome them and work well with those that are professional and hard-working.

Sometimes they just can’t get out in person to show the property due to a true scheduling conflict and I’ll arrange to give their buyers access.

However, there are a minority of these out of area agents that are really pushing the boundaries of what’s considered “normal business practice.” They are expecting the listing agent to show the homes to their buyers for EVERY showing, or contacting the seller directly to let the buyers in without the agent present (a huge no-no). Then once the home is in contract, they again ask the listing agent to let the inspector(s) in, and then again to let their buyer in for the walk-through.

Many times the buyer’s agent NEVER visits the property. And I’ve heard from many other local agents that this is a very common situation right now.

I’m not suggesting that I’ve never had a scheduling conflict in my career where I couldn’t provide access to a buyer. But when that happens I’ll ask another agent in my office to help me out, knowing that I’ll do the same for them. Only in an extreme case would I contact the listing agent for access.

I believe that every agent should have every opportunity to solicit the business of any client they want to pursue (assuming they are complying with all relevant legal requirements). However, it is still up to the client to decide which agent they choose to work with. So my advice to buyers is to expect at least the minimum level of service from your agent. If your search area is far from your agent’s office, ask how they are going to handle that so you are represented appropriately.

Incapacity Provisions in a Trust

by Joan Grimes, Esq. Recently, my mother passed away and I was reading her trust. If a trust is drafted properly, it will give the trustees and beneficiaries a window into the life of the grantor. In many cases, it is like a heart-toheart talk or a diary telling you the innermost desires and wishes of the grantor. In the case of my mother, one of her biggest concerns was her care if she should become either physically or mentally incapacitated.

She wanted to be sure she could maintain her independence as long as possible and on her terms.

In order to accomplish these objectives, her trust outlined what she wanted done in great detail.

First, she wanted to make sure her incapacity, if she did not agree voluntarily, would be established by two licensed physicians who were not related by blood or marriage to her or her beneficiaries.

Second, she wanted to make sure that her assets were used first and foremost for her health, education, support and maintenance.

Third, if she was not able to care for herself, she had specific directions for the trustee to provide a standard of living and care. In her case, it was her desire to remain in her home as long as it was medically practical and that the trustee was authorized and directed to provide in-home services so long as the cost to provide such care did not exceed 200 percent of the cost to provide such services in residential care.

Fourth, if it was necessary for her to be in a residential facility, she wanted a person to be hired to visit her regularly, at least once a week, unannounced, to evaluate the level of care that she was receiving. In the event that the care was determined to be deficient,

she was then to be moved.

Fifth, she specifically provided that if she were to live in a residential facility, the facility chosen should be the smallest one with the fewest number of patients.

Finally, my mother was very concerned that her current medical insurance company i.e., an HMO, would not pay for treatment that the trustee or doctor might determine to be desirable. Therefore, she specifically provided that the trustee was authorized and directed to secure and pay for the costs of a second opinion and to pay for said treatment if it was determined to be in her best interest. Further, she directed the trustee to employ a professional advocate to negotiate with the medical organization for the purpose of obtaining coverage for the treatment.

In conclusion, if you have a trust or will, you should review its terms regarding incapacity. If the trust or will provisions are not what you want, you should consider amending the documents to correctly reflect your wishes and desires. While my mother was very fortunate to die at home after a short illness, that will not be the case for many of us. We may not be able to control our physical or mental health, but we can control how our assets are used to care for us.

If you would like me to review your will or trust, I see people everyday for a FREE 30-minute consultation in Walnut Creek and Brentwood.

my face. Scary movies are a lot like roller coasters. Some people are wired to experience them with exhilaration – others with mind-numbing terror. I am the latter.

The worst part of the night is when the show is over. We all sit there stunned for a moment and then we discuss it. It makes us feel better.

We exchange thoughts and try to predict what will happen next. I feel bad for Ryan’s girlfriend who has to get into her cold, dark car and drive home alone, especially because in one episode a disfigured spirit popped out of the back seat. Ryan stays on the phone with her until she gets home.

As for me, I try to busy myself with mundane nightly tasks – feeding the cats, blowing out candles and locking up the house. But the creepy feeling hangs with us all. I usually try to

find a good infomercial on television.

The “My Pillow” guy is strangely comforting, but it doesn’t last. As soon as I turn off the light, my mind races with the frightening images of the episode we just watched. This is self-induced torture!

God forbid I wake up in the middle of the night. In the show, bad stuff happens at 3 a.m. The first night we watched it I woke up at 3:05. A chill ran through me. It was truly unsettling. The next day, Ryan’s girlfriend told me she woke up at 3 a.m. too! How creepy is that?

Well, we are down to the last episode, and to be honest I am relieved. I need a break from this anxiety! I admit it. I am still a wimp.

Ryan informed me that there will be a second season next year. Oh goodie. I might have to decline. Instead, maybe I can find some re-runs of “The Beverly Hillbillies.”

began to fade. I stuck with comedies and love stories and could even handle space alien movies, but I couldn’t even watch the trailers for upcoming frightening flicks. Don’t even get me started on “The Exorcist.” The theme music alone can still send me reeling.

So when my kids told me about this new series I said, “No way.” They assured me it wasn’t that bad. Just ghosts and good writing. It was a hit – everyone they knew was watching it.

The title sounded familiar and then I figured it out. The series was based on that horrific movie that had scarred me 50 years ago! Why would I want to watch a 10-part series based on that movie? I tried to be rational about it.

Maybe I could handle a good ghost story now. I was intrigued, and they assured me it would be fun. Yeah, about as fun as a root canal.

The first episode hooked me, and, even though I knew I would regret it, I kept watching. Maury wanted nothing to do with it. He prefers reading a good book to sitting in the dark and screaming in terror every 20 minutes.

Heritage girls’ water polo team advances to NCS championship match

by Kyle Szymanski Staff Writer The Heritage High School girls’ water polo team cracked open the history books with their first ever North Coast Section playoff win on Nov. 3, and now, the Patriots are turning the page with another historic achievement.

The second-seed Patriots are headed to their first North Coast Section title match after defeating Liberty 17-10 Nov. 7 at Heritage High School. Heritage was scheduled to clash with top-seed College Park on Nov. 14, the match now postponed twice since Nov. 10, due to poor air quality stemming from the Camp fire in Butte County.

“There is no way this has hit us yet, because we have never gone this far before,” said head coach Jeff Lapum, still wet from a celebratory jump in the pool after the Patriots win. “(The girls’ program) has never won two playoff games in the history of our school.”

Heritage’s Ella Simone scored a match-high eight goals, Kayla Longoria had three, and Emma Lapum and Maddie Bursch each chipped in two.

“It feels really great,” Simone said.

“We have worked really hard for this.”

The Patriots (18-8 and 8-0 in league play) never trailed in the contest and out-

scored Liberty 10-5 in the second half to secure the win.

Up by only 7-5 at halftime, Heritage rocketed off with six unanswered goals, including two each from Simone and Bursch, in the third quarter to take a commanding 13-5 lead.

“The girls were just really fired up to play tonight,” Lapum said. “I knew they had it in them.”

Katie Schaffer kickstarted Heritage’s

grand night with a goal in the first minute of the match, and the Patriots’ lead grew to as high as 6-1 in the first half, before Liberty drew within 7-5 at halftime. Olivia Doria led the Lions with six goals in the contest. Paige Henson added two goals, and Trinity Otis added one for the Lions.

Liberty ends its impressive season 18-7 and 6-2 against league opponents, all league losses coming to Heritage. Heritage didn’t play Las Lomas this season,

but lost to College Park 11-7 on Oct. 11 in the only matchup between the two squads this season.

“It’s just a great feeling we will going to move on to the championship game,” Lapum said. “Hopefully good things happen there as well.”

Los Medanos College soccer Moving on team wins conference title

by Jesus Cano Correspondent Iconic princesses are often the protagonists of Disney films, but the Los Medanos College (LMC) women’s soccer team had a Cinderella story of its own this season.

While it may not have happened just the way they wanted, the team achieved what seemed impossible at the beginning season – winning its first Bay Valley Conference title in at least 24 years by tying Solano College 1-1 in its last regular-season game of the year. It was a journey that began with a rough patch when LMC finished its non-conference play with a four game winless streak and was outscored 12-2.

LMC, however, was far from finished. The Mustangs went 10-1-1 to finish Bay Valley Conference play, and they did not allow a goal through 10 games.

Sydney Vueve’s rebound shot off a corner kick in the first half was the conference-clinching goal, but LMC’s strong defense was the key throughout the draw with Solano.

Sophomores Emma Spears and Briana Olmedo were two of LMC’s most reliable players on the back

line throughout the entire season. The number of steals made a difference in the game, especially in the game’s last 15 minutes when Solano was firing on all cylinders.

“Last time we played them, their forwards were really aggressive,” said Spears. “They’re physical, but I know that when we really communicate, we work together, we can hold them. It gets stressful, but we keep each other calm. It’s just making sure the whole team is defending together and not just the backline. Because if it’s just the backline, then there’s way too many players to defend.”

LMC head coach Zach Sullivan said the team brought in extra players to shore up its defense.

“We brought in a couple extra players to defend, because we knew they were going to try to bring in their forwards, they’re pretty fast,” he said. “We relied on playing defensive and not really trying to score, just getting players behind the ball.”

With just under two minutes to play, the Mustangs’ defense committed a foul in the goal box, resulting in a penalty kick.

BY A STATE OR FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION, A SAVINGS ASSOCIATION OR SAVINGS BANK SPECIFIED IN SECTION 5102 OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE: All right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described as: More fully described in said Deed of Trust. Street Address or other common designation of real property: 501 West 14th Street, Antioch, CA 94509 A.P.N.: 067-182-012 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, under the terms of said Deed of Trust, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $ 366,772.13. Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt. 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. The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure, and the undersigned caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE 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 this 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 (866)-960-8299 or visit this Internet Web site http://www.altisource.com/ MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/ TrusteeServices.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2017-03331-CA.

pacted the pace of the investigation.

Parents raised concerns about the diminished police presence at the school, a lack of uniformity in the staff responses to threats and a general lack of communication from the school over the last few weeks.

“After reading so many concerns and comments on social media the last few weeks it was nice to see so many parents in support of school administration and their actions,” said Meghan Bell, a parent who attended the meeting. “I think everyone just wanted a clear understanding of what the next steps are and an update on the case.”

The first incident involving a threat to a student was reported to the school Sept.

10, and that complaint was forwarded to the Oakley Police Department, said Manke.

Oakley Police Chief Chris Thorsen wrote in a Oct. 25 Facebook post that his department eventually received reports from several girls attending Freedom stating they had received inappropriate comments from an individual

using the name Kevin Jones, a name assumed to be an alias. Manke said that the comments were of a sexual nature.

Thorsen launched an investigation into the threats only to find that the sender had apparently used software designed to cover his electronic tracks.

The threats took on a different character when students reported on Oct. 23 that Jones stated his intention to carry out a Columbine-like attack on Freedom High School the following day.

“This evening, it was reported to the Freedom administration that a threatening Snapchat message had been sent out to many of our students,” wrote Manke. “This Snapchat referenced the Columbine School shooting and implied that Freedom was going to be a target Wednesday, Oct. 24.”

Thorsen said that all available officers reported to the Freedom campus on the 24th to provide security and continue the investigation. Despite the increased police presence, nearly half of the student popula-

Oakley’s center will also offer a series of small-business programs, including business plan training, workshops, coaching and networking activities.

Similar facilities have opened in San Francisco, Berkeley, Walnut Creek and Danville in recent years.

“The Oakley entrepreneur center will assist Oakley’s small businesses, start-ups and aspiring entrepreneurs by providing a collaborative and shared work environment to help them grow and expand in our community,” said Oakley City Councilman Kevin Romick. “Combined with the Oakley Entrepreneur Program, the city can assist new

tion stayed home that day. The investigation expanded with assistance from the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office, the California Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

While the day passed uneventfully for the students who did attend, Thorsen said that several new messages were received from Jones including one in which he made a direct threat against Manke. The message included a photo of Manke and said, in part, “She’ll most definitely be first when I do” referring to his threat of an attack on the school.

Later that same day, Jones reversed direction and wrote an apology for his actions, while at the same time stating he was 95 percent sure he wouldn’t be caught.

With student and staff nerves already on edge, a fire alarm sounded at the school on Oct. 25.

Students remained in their locked classrooms until the cause of the alarm was discovered to be students smoking in a bath-

and existing small businesses from developing a business plan to providing office space where they can network with others in a professional environment.”

Oakley officials began exploring the center idea more than a year ago, knowing that home-based small-business entrepreneurs comprise a large percentage of the local business community, who will seek space outside their homes as their businesses expand.

“The city owned a building downtown, which had a vacant space upstairs,” Dalman said. “We thought this would be the perfect location for the entrepreneur center to better meet the needs of the entrepreneur community.”

room.

By Oct. 26, activity on Jones’ account dropped off and according to Manke, things remained quiet for a week or so. Jones then resurfaced and began to share inappropriate or compromising photos of female Freedom students and he renewed threats of violence against the school, indicating that an attack will occur prior to the winter break.

As the investigation continues, Roberts said he is confident that Jones will be apprehended.

“I believe this is a solvable case for us,” said Roberts. “My hope is that when we do catch him, that we put the entire criminal justice system on top of him. For the pain this person has caused, there needs to be a lesson that this isn’t tolerated in our society.”

The facility began taking shape in August, with general fund monies and Downtown Revitalization Loan Program funds covering its cost.

The center should be complete before its scheduled January opening, but the city will also need to install an elevator to accommodate wheelchair access.

The city is currently accepting applications, and prospective tenants are expected to be able to tour the facility by the end of November, Dalman said.
