Police believe Gabe a victim of homicide Blue Bird by Jake Menez

Alexis Gabe’s parents, Gwyn and Rowena, comfort each other during an Oakley police news conference, where authorities revealed they believe Gabe is the victim of a homicide.

Staff Writer

OAKLEY Police and the family of Alexis Gabe are continuing to look for her body even after the suspect in her disappearance was fatally shot by police last week as they served an arrest warrant in Kent, Washington. Oakley police chief Paul Beard said at a news conference last Thursday that the $100,000 reward for information leading to finding the 27-year-old Oakley woman is still available as police still seek information about the whereabouts of her body. Law enforcement agencies were in Kent because the suspect in her disappearance since Jan. 27 -- Gabe’s ex-boyfriend, Marshall Jones, 27, of Antioch – has friends and associates in the Seattle suburb, Beard said. Jones was killed by police in Kent, Washington last Wednesday after police say he came at them with a knife as they attempted to arrest him in Gabe’s disappearance.

Local police unsuccessfully tried to revive him using CPR, according to Seattle TV station KOMO. “Part of what has led us to believe Alexis is the victim of a homicide is the examination of a large amount of digital and forensic evidence that has been recovered over the course of several search warrants and over several acts of labor done by [Oakley police and Antioch police],” Beard said. “In conjunction with that is the fact

that there are no signs of life anywhere for Alexis.” Police did not disclose a motive in the killing, and did not offer details on the circumstances surrounding Gabe’s death. Examples of the evidence cited by Beard included a cellphone case, previously identified as Gabe’s in a May 13 statement by police, as well as images of Jones captured on surveillance cameras that “led him on a path” from where Gabe’s

vehicle was abandoned in Oakley to his home on Benttree Lane in Antioch. According to Beard, the phone case was found near Jones’ home and his DNA was recovered from it. Additionally, the GPS system in Gabe’s vehicle showed an exact path from Jones’ home to Trenton Street in Oakley, where the vehicle had been found. Jones was ‘uncooperative,’ acsee Gabe page 22A

More EV charging stations popping up by Sean Tongson Correspondent

REGIONAL Local residents and motorists traveling near buildings, retail complexes, commercial establishments and parking lots may notice more electric vehicle charging stations. They are large devices used to recharge an electric vehicle (EV) like one would recharge a phone or a laptop. With these devices popping up in more cities, buildings, and parking lots, questions still remain about their use. How do these devices work, how much do they cost to install, maintain, and use, and with the increasing number of electric and hybrid vehicles on the road, could there be more of these devices being installed in the future? “The chargers work much like the ones we use for our phones and laptops,” said Oakley Business............................................... 8B Calendar..............................................8A

Assistant to the City Manager Felicia Escover. “At its most basic, an EV charging station pulls an electrical current from either a 240-volt outlet or the grid it’s hardwired to and delivers that electricity to the vehicle.” The increase in electric vehicle charging stations represents part of California’s $37.6 billion, multi-year plan to reduce carbon emissions and reliance on fossil fuels in an effort to strengthen the clean energy economy and protect Californians from the extreme effects of climate change in the future. According to data from Statista.com, California leads the nation with the most public and private electric vehicle charging stations with 41,300 as of January 2022.

Village housing project scuttled

by Melissa van Ruiten Staff Writer

BRENTWOOD Plans for Blue Bird Village, the mixed-income, mixed-use development that was proposed to be built at the intersection of O’Hara Avenue and Lone Tree Way in Brentwood, will not be moving forward. “Eden Housing, in conjunction with our partner, the Episcopal Diocese of California, have made the business decision not to submit an application related to the Master Plan for Blue Bird Village at this time,” project developer Eden Housing stated in an email. “The Diocese is exploring options to continue with its Farm Church Ministry vision on the project site.” The proposed project would’ve included up to 100 units of rental housing for families with incomes of less than 60% of the area median income for Contra Costa County, with a portion of those serving homeless individuals and families. Also included were 26 to 30 units of market-rate, for-sale homes and 24 townhomes for affordable, first-time homeowner housing developed by Habitat for Humanity of the East Bay/Silicon Valley. The project design also featured a community center and farm. In order to accommodate the housing project, the property would have had to be rezoned. The land is currently zoned as R-1, see Blue Bird page 22A

Town sells finals bonds to fund wastewater project Discovery Bay water to be cleaner by 2024 by Dawnmarie Fehr Correspondent

The Town of Discovery Bay Community Services District sold the final bond necessary to pay for a new clean wastewater project and the construction of a new well. Discovery Bay General Manager Dina Breitstein said it was a step in the right direction for the town’s infrastructure. “The sale has been finalized; we closed the bond on May 17,” she said. “We are borrowing $13 million for the denitrification project and $5 million for the new well project.” Work began last summer on the state-mandated denitrification project to improve the town’s wastewater treatment systems. Originally priced at $16 million, cost for the project’s design, construction and inspection is now up to $19.9 million. Project Manager Mike Yeraka said the increase is typical of the times. “With COVID and all the supply chain issues, the budget went up,” Yeraka said. Work began on the denitrification project last summer and should take two years to complete, officials said. The project must be finished before the town’s Federal National Pollutant Discharge Eliminating System permit changes on Jan. 1, 2024. The permit covers wastewater discharge into Old River, and the new permit will require the town to reduce the amount of nitrogen entering the water. Hence the title “denitrification.”

Breitstein noted the process creates clean water, and the wastewater being discharged into the Delta will be cleaner than what is there now. In an interview, Water and Wastewater Manager Aaron Goldsworthy said the project’s difficulty lies in the fact a new procedure – the denitrification process – will be inserted into the middle of the town’s existing wastewater treatment system. “You are basically tapping into a pipe that already has a treatment process taking place,” he said. “So we are squeezing a process in between two processes, so it’s not something we can put at the beginning or end of the process. We are putting it in the middle.” Also funded by the bond is Well 8, a new well being built near Point of Timber Road, on the site of the future Pantages housing project. “The town has been looking for a parcel somewhere to buy for Well 8 for the past couple of years, and it just so happened that the Pantages subdivision had a parcel that was ideal for us to utilize,” Yeraka said. “We are going to be using one of the parcels in the subdivision for Well 8.” Though it will be in the Pantages neighborhood, the well will serve to back up the supply to the town’s existing wells. “We hope to have the new well online sometime in 2024,” Yeraka said. “We haven’t started design yet … we are in negotiations with the developer for the lot right now.” Once the lot is secured, the town will contract with design firm Luhdorff & Scalmanini to design the well, then request bids from contractors. Yeraka noted the project should take 16 months to complete once it has started. For more information, call the town at 925-634-1131 or visit www.todb.ca.gov.

Our office takes a comprehensive approach to Estate Planning. If you pass away intestate (without a will/trust) the State of California has statutory provisions that will divide your estate, often these provisions are not aligned with your wishes. As you mature and acquire assets, don’t forget to plan for how those assets will be managed and divided upon your departure from this world. Trust Administration: After your loved one has passed and you have been left in charge of handling their affairs, the task can be daunting. Let our office guide you through this process effectively and minimize the stress you are already going through due to your loss.

I have discussed the importance of estate planning many times in these articles. Saving money, peace of mind and making things easier for those you leave behind are just a few of the benefits. However, with estate planning typically comes difficult conversations with family members that does not come natural. Subjects such as who you want to be in charge of your estate after death, who should receive your assets and end of life issues are just the beginning. Nine out of 10 Americans consider it important to have a financial plan but almost half have difficulty discussing finances with loved ones. There are three reasons for this: It can be overwhelming, it can be awkward and talking about a future plan is difficult when you don’t have one in place. The statistics tell an interesting story. 38% of people do not even talk to their spouse or partner about the other’s financial situation before getting married. 55% of those without a financial plan say they are not confident in their retirement and a full 86% of us do not feel they have saved enough for retirement. It starts with a conversation and

sometimes we just need a little help to take that first step. When I talk to clients about estate planning, I do so without making them feel guilty or being ashamed. The most important step you take is talking with someone. I reassure my clients that it is never too late nor too early to start talking about finances after death. Most of my clients have a very real sense of accomplishment and relief because many have been putting it off for years. I cannot emphasize enough the peace of mind my clients walk away with when we complete their estate plan and they know this important issue has been handled. Make a commitment to yourself and talk to your family today about these issues. Keep it light and do not take it too seriously. Your next call should be to my office and we will put your plans into action. If you have questions on this or any other estate planning topic, call me at (925) 5164888.

Graduating seniors told to embrace their diversity African American Baccalaureate ceremony at Heritage High School on June 3 by Caitlyn Pruitt Correspondent

In this age of diversity, all 84 graduates at the second annual African American Baccalaureate ceremony on June 3 were implored to stay true to who they are. The graduating seniors came from Freedom, Heritage, Liberty, La Paloma, and Independence high schools as part of The Liberty Union High School District. The Class of 2022 came to walk in the ceremony that celebrated growth, pride, promise, and resiliency, according to school officials. Liberty Union High School District

Liberty Union High School District students pause for a group photo (left) and look on (right photo) during the district’s second annual African American Baccalaureate ceremony at Heritage High School on June 3. Superintendent Eric Volta said he was proud of the ceremony because it is the only event where seniors across the district get to be together. The crowd was filled with the students’ family, friends, residents and district leaders, many of whom swelled with pride as they watched the seniors walk across the stage.

Caleb Michael, who graduated from Heritage High School in 2015 before heading to Oregon State University, served as the master of ceremonies. He now is news anchor for KDRV News 12 in Medford, Oregon. Guest speaker Onyx Sawyer-Ammons, the owner of Karter L’Rose Candles

and a 2004 Freedom High School graduate, urged the students to find their identity and remain authentic to themselves. Senior speaker Selamawit Asfaw advised the graduating class to embrace what makes them different. To view a slideshow, visit www.thepress. net/multimedia/slideshows

Understanding the Second Amendment, commas and all

Editor: The Second Amendment reads: “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” The Second Amendment can be a bit confusing with the multiple commas, but the commas are important. Here is why. Taking a deeper look at the basic sentence structure and applying the relevant rules of comma use helped me to understand as follows. According to Purdue University, it is correct to “Use a pair of commas in the middle of a sentence to set off clauses, phrases, and words ‘that are not essential to the meaning of the sentence’. Use one comma before to indicate the beginning of the pause and one at the end to indicate the end of the pause.” Applying this rule, taking out clauses, phrases, and words set off by commas that are (therefore considered) not essential to the meaning of the sentence, we have: “A well-regulated Militia shall not be infringed.” Period. Yet the Second Amendment (with the confusing use of commas) has been used to grant almost unlimited (and many times dangerous) gun rights to citizens by harping on the isolated phrase “right of the people to keep and bear Arms.” So let’s apply another rule of commas to the second amendment and see if the ‘pause rule’ holds up or falls down. Again according to Purdue University, “Use commas to separate independent clauses when they are joined by any of these seven coordinating conjunctions: and, but, for, or, nor, so, yet.” Because the clauses separated by

Editor

commas in the Second Amendment are not joined by any of the coordinating conjunctions, they are then not independent clauses and, as a result, the whole sentence refers to “Militia.” With militia as the subject it follows that “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms” is not an independent clause or specified individual right carved out by this amendment and does not refer to individual people as separate from the militia. It refers to ‘people’ with respect to having a well-regulated militia. These ‘rules of comma use’ helped me better understand the meaning of the Second Amendment. In both cases cited above, there is no specific “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms” as individuals granted. This does not mean that I don’t believe in gun ownership or that I have never used a gun. It does however reinforce that owning a gun is not a guaranteed unlimited and virtually unregulated right guaranteed by the Constitution. Frank Pettinger Brentwood

Leaders must act to stop shootings

Editor: Another shooting in Texas in the USA, and innocent children were the targets this time. A horrific tragedy. When parents drop their kids off at school, they should have peace of mind that their children will be safe. But after the most recent incident, all are having second thoughts. Does the question arise if anyone is safe? Can our children and teenagers safely attend schools and universities without fearing being victims of gun violence? What happened in the Texas elementary school is not new but repeated year after year. Our leaders talk about reforming the gun laws, but it gets swept under the rug after some time. When will our leaders realize that enough is enough? When will they know that we are losing our future generations through these acts of violence? When will they put their egos aside and come to a resolution and make things right? We should act and reform our gun laws so that no other citizens are victims of these heinous acts. My thoughts and prayers go to the grieved families. May God give them the strength to bear the loss of their children. Imam Khalid Khan Bay Point

Local man 4th at national fishing contest in Bethel Island; Freedom, Liberty compete

Professional fisher Stephen “Bub” Tosh, Jr., of Modesto brought a five-bass limit to the scale on June 4, weighing 17 pounds, 15 ounces, to win Major League Fishing’s Toyota Series at the California Delta at Russo’s Marina in Bethel Island and win the top payout of $25,604. Tosh’s three-day total of 15 bass weighing 59 pounds even earned him the victory by a 4-pound, 3-ounce margin over second place pro Lane Olson of Forest Grove, Ore., who caught 15 bass weighing 54-13 to finish second and earn $9,922. To do so, Tosh said he combined a duo of baits that are out of production with a modern-day staple. “I had two 6-pounders this week and a couple of 5-pounders, but no giant fish,” he said. “Most of my fish came on a Transporter Frog made by Paycheck Baits that I designed years ago. They haven’t made them in years, but they’re going for $60 to $80 on eBay.” Tosh’s other legacy bait was a Paycheck Baits Punch Skirt, another throwback to another time that he still has a few of in his tackle shop. To supplement those baits, Tosh added a ChatterBait, a wacky-rigged Senko and a Lobina Rico Popper that helped him cull up with mostly 3-pounders. He boated them in secret, in hidden cuts and pockets tucked deep in the Delta’s maze, and that, he said, was by design. “I think about my grandpa out there,” he added. “I think about my dad who doesn’t fish much anymore. I think about that older generation watching and fishing vicariously

Heritage hires 3 new varsity head coaches Heritage High School recently announced the hiring of three new head varsity coaches for its winter sports season. Randy James will become the school’s new boys soccer coach, Sienna Zabroski will take over the girls program, and Mark Hurtado will be the girls basketball coach. “Each of these individuals will bring valuable experience, knowledge and an ability to connect with our studentathletes to these positions, all while supporting our mission to build a culture of excellence, embracing all aspects of the interscholastic and educational athletics experience,” said Heritage Athletic Director Nate Smith in a news release. Boys Soccer – Randy James James rejoins the ranks of Patriots head coaches after being head girls soccer coach for six seasons during which Heritage reached the section playoffs every

year, including a trip to the North Coast Section Division 1 semifinals. The Patriots also won two league titles under his leadership with an overall mark of 79-34-21 during his tenure. In addition to his success at the high school level, James is the director of the Recreational Program for Ballistic United Soccer Club in Pleasanton, having also served as its academy director and as a U15 and U17 head coach, and currently overseeing a program that serves upwards of 700 athletes. He holds a U.S. Grassroots Instructor License, and gives Heritage another on-campus head coach, as a physical education teacher for the Patriots. Girls Soccer – Sienna Zabroski Zabroski takes the helm of the varsity girls soccer program after guiding the junior varsity program for the past two seasons. The Heritage High and UC Riverside alum also has playing and coaching expe-

rience that she demonstrated last season guiding the Patriots’ junior varsity team to an unbeaten league record, Smith said. Zabroski has previous coaching experience as a head junior varsity coach at Riverside High School, and currently trains athletes at the COPA Soccer Training Center in Walnut Creek in addition to having recently coached in the Impact Soccer Club program. She also brings a high level of competitive experience as a player to her new role, most recently playing professional soccer in both Finland and Taiwan, along with the San Francisco NightHawks of the Women’s Premier Soccer League, Smith said. Girls Basketball – Mark Hurtado Hurtado brings a highly successful background to the Heritage program, where he takes over a team that has won seven consecutive league titles and reached either the North Coast Section

Division 1 title game or the Open Division in each of the last six post-seasons. He was most recently the assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the women’s basketball program at Diablo Valley College, but has made an impact for more than a decade in the Bay Valley Athletic League (BVAL). He is a twotime BVAL coach of the year in girls basketball, having led Deer Valley to three league titles and the 2013 North Coast Section championship, a year in which he also guided the Wolverines to the NorCal title game. He also took over the Deer Valley boys program for two seasons, leading a team that had three consecutive losing seasons back to the section playoffs, Smith said. In addition to his coaching background, Hurtado is also a physical education teacher in the Antioch Unified School District.

The Brentwood Pony Softball League launched its first traveling all-star team this summer. The 12 girls on the team were nominated by their coaches in the in-house league, then tried out for the all-star team. Though the team, composed of girls age 7-8, had been playing separately for weeks, they were able to practice together only one time before their first tournament in Danville last weekend. “We kind of got thrown in the fire because this all came together really quick,” said Coach Abel Ordaz. “The girls did great for it having been their first game. They grew over the tournament. It was a total of six games, and they just got better and better as the tournament progressed

… we were all very happy with how they did and they played against teams who already had tournament experience.” The traveling team will spend its short summer break playing softball from Sacramento down to Southern California before the season wraps up. Ordaz said he was excited to be part of a growing league filling a need in East County. Previously, Oakley and Antioch had leagues, but Brentwood did not. “We want Brentwood to be represented,” said Ordaz. “Brentwood has never had a girls softball program. They had softball through the rec program, but not a competitive team. This is the first time Brentwood has a program designated for girls trying to elevate themselves as softball players.” For more information, visit www. bpbl.org.

go to the Probate Court and view your Will. Another potential drawback with Probate is that if you own real property (e.g., land, houses, condos, timeshares, etc.) in more than one state, the family may have to go through probate in each state where real property is located. The bottom line is that a Will does nothing to protect you from Probate. The good news is that you can avoid Probate by setting up a living trust. One of the most important benefits of setting up a living trust is that all assets transferred to a living trust completely avoid the probate process. If you have questions concerning your existing estate plan or setting up an estate plan, please contact Todd W. Moeller at (925) 3018840 or Todd@MoellerEstateLaw.com.

Many people mistakenly believe that if they have a Will their estate will not go through probate. However, if a Will is to be given any legal effect, the Will must be submitted to Probate. The word “probate’ comes from the Latin meaning “to prove the will.” Most of us would rather avoid Probate if at all possible because Probate can be expensive. The costs involved in Probate may include (but are not limited to): Attorney’s Fees, Executor/Administrator Fees, Accounting Fees, Publication and Bond Fees, Appraiser Fees, and Court Filing Fees. In addition to being expensive, probate is a time consuming process. By law, formal probate must take several months, more often than not, the probate process will take much longer. During this probate process, it may be difficult or impossible to access certain property. Probate is also a public process. If you die and your Will is filed in probate court a great deal of your personal information may be available for anyone who is interested enough to

recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’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 holder’s rights against the real property only. THIS NOTICE IS SENT FOR THE PURPOSE OF COLLECTING A DEBT. THIS FIRM IS ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT ON BEHALF OF THE HOLDER AND OWNER OF THE NOTE. ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED BY OR PROVIDED TO THIS FIRM OR THE CREDITOR WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations. 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) 758-8052 or visit this Internet Web site www.Xome. com, using the file number assigned to this case 20-24513. 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. For sales conducted after January 1, 2021: NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (800) 758-8052, or visit this internet website www.Xome.com, using the file number assigned to this case 20-24513 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Here’s How It Works:

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

As originally envisioned by the Priority Area 1 Specific Plan, the project will provide for residential, professional office, technology, medical, manufacturing and research and development uses in a mixed-use business park campus and adjoining neighborhoods. Full buildout of the Specific Plan Area could accommodate up to 2,041 dwelling units (DU) (for a maximum residential population of 4,597 persons) and up to 3,518,232 square feet (SF) of nonresidential uses (for a maximum non-residential population of 7,344 employees). The Planning Commission will consider and make recommendations to the City Council as to adoption of text and land use map amendments the Priority Area 1 Specific Plan (SPA 22-001), to update development standards, land uses, infrastructure and public services, and circulation, as well as economic development and implementation. Approval of the project will not result in the approval of any particular development proposal, but rather the underlying planning to facilitate later project review and approval. The project includes an Addendum to the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared for the Priority Area 1 (PA-1) Specific Plan Project (State Clearinghouse No. 2018042064), which was certified by the City of Brentwood on November 13, 2018 (Certified EIR).

The Planning Commission will be making a recommendation to the City Council, which will take final action on this project. Applicant: City of Brentwood Further information may be obtained from Joshua Ewen, Senior Analyst, Economic Development Division [(925) 516-5440 or jewen@ brentwoodca.gov], City of Brentwood, 150 City Park Way, Brentwood, California 94513.

p.m. or as soon thereafter as the normal course of business provides on June 21, 2022, hold a public hearing to consider the following: A request to amend Chapter 17.725 (Affordable Housing) of the Brentwood Municipal Code (the “Ordinance”) in accordance with direction provided by the City Council on April 26, 2022, and May 24, 2022, with respect to various features of the Affordable Housing Program, including, but not limited to, increasing the overall inclusionary obligation to 13%, and addressing payment of fees in lieu of constructing affordable units. The Ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§21000, et seq., and the Guidelines for CEQA, 14 CCR §§15000, et seq.) because it has no potential to result in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, per 14 CCR §15061(b) (3). Further, the Ordinance is also exempt because it does not apply to any particular housing project at this time and it is thus speculative to evaluate any such future project in the context of consideration of this Ordinance.

Office of the Recorder of Contra Costa County, California, executed by GARY N. GOBIN AND STELLA GOBIN, HUSBAND AND WIFE, AS JOINT TENANTS, as Trustor(s), in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC, as Beneficiary, as nominee for AEGIS FUNDING CORPORATION as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 396 CLAREMONT DRIVE, BRENTWOOD, CA 94513 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated 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 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 $485,926.75 (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. 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 Nationwide Posting & Publication at 916.939.0772 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website www.nationwideposting. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08000315-21-1. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice to Tenant NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916.939.0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA08000315-21-1 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an

cording to Beard, and had refused to speak to investigators several times, prolonging the investigation. He was not a known felon or known by Oakley police, Beard said. Contra Costa District Attorney Diana Becton filed a murder charge against Jones on May 26 after meeting with investigators from Oakley and Antioch police departments, Beard said. Following this, Oakley and Antioch police coordinated with other agencies, such as the U.S. Marshals Service and Washington state authorities, to appre-

hend Jones in Kent in the encounter that ultimately led to his death. Those authorities used a wiretap, surveillance footage, a wiretap on Jones’ cellphone and DNA found on Gabe’s smartphone case to track down Jones and try to arrest him in Kent before they fatally shot Jones as he came at them with a knife. “We understand the death of Marshall Jones impacts an investigative avenue for us, but we are still determined to continue with our investigation,” Beard said. While in Washington, police recovered several elec-

Brentwood has 46 electric charging stations (18 of them new), along with 29 in Antioch and three in Oakley. According to Brentwood City Manager Tim Ogden, these electric vehicle charging stations are purchased by the city and then installed by manufacturers. Nine were recently installed in the City of Brentwood parking garage. “We did spend about $40,000 upgrading them in 2019 from whenever they were initially purchased,” said Ogden. “The ones at City Hall cost about $6,500 annually for the stations, and spend another $1,500 a month on electrical power. Ours always seem to be full, so more may be needed.” More charging stations appear to also be needed in Oakley, as the Oakley City Council approved the purchase of five more charging stations as recently as April 12. “The cost to purchase and install the units at City Hall was $35,000, after a $7,000 rebate from Marin Clean Energy,” Escover said. “Maintenance is covered through a warranty on the units.” The time to charge a vehicle and the length of the charge varies because of different factors; the electrical capacity of the vehicle, the maximum electrical current that the vehicle can accept, and the level of the actual charging station, in which there

which indicates low-density residential. But had the project moved forward, Eden Housing would have been required to pursue an amendment to the city’s General Plan. Local residents were unhappy with the scope of the project, asserting that it would lower their property values, increase crime in the area, increase traffic congestion in the area and put additional stress on area resources. Many voiced their concerns at Brentwood City Council and Planning Commision meetings, while other concerned residents took to social media to promote joining the Our Neighborhood Voices initiative, whose website states, “The Our Neighborhood Voices initiative restores the authority of your local representatives to decide what

Gwyn Gabe, Alexis’ father, also spoke at the press conference. “What happened to Marshall was tragic and unexpected,” he lamented. “He was our daughter’s first love. For three years, he had become part of our family. We had no idea he was capable of doing something like this.” Beard, a 32-year law enforcement veteran, commended the Gabe family’s role in the investigation. “I previously worked a ho-

are three types; Levels 1, 2 and 3. “A Level 1 charger can charge around 5 miles of driving per hour; a Level 2 charger is around 25 miles per hour; and a Level 3, sometimes called “fast chargers”, is about 200 miles per hour,” said Brentwood Director of Public Works Miki Tsubota. “We have Level 2 charging stations in the parking garage by City Hall.” Electric vehicle charging parking spaces are marked in specially designated areas, because officials hope drivers will park only in the areas if they’re being actively used for charging. The charging stations located in the Oakley City Hall parking lot were free to use up until April 30. After that, drivers began having to pay to use the stations. “The cost to charge vehicles will be $0.30 per kWh,” (kilowatt hour) added Escover. “All EV charging stations will be on the same payment schedule.” Brentwood’s are currently free, but that could change in the future, Ogden said. “We currently do not charge, but are assessing and planning to begin charging later this summer consistent with what other cities are doing,” Ogden said. “Otherwise, the city is subsidizing these charges for a few, from the city’s General Fund, and that is problematic.”

With the possibility of more electric vehicles on the road in the coming years, residents could continue to see more electric charging stations. Current building codes do not require the installation of chargers for new buildings. However, the installation of the infrastructure to facilitate future charging equipment is required. CALGreen, California’s first green building code, requires new construction and major alterations to include adding “EV capable” parking spaces, which entails ensuring the electrical panel will have the capacity to support the future installation of charging stations by having a dedicated branch circuit and a raceway to the planned EV parking spot. “The electrical distribution equipment for new buildings must have the capacity to serve future chargers as well,” said Ogden, adding that the installation of an underground conduit is required. “New projects will not receive a Certificate of Occupancy unless they meet all building code requirements, including the installation of this infrastructure.” More information regarding California’s Blueprint for focusing on clean energy and fewer carbon emissions can be found at the following link: https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Fact-Sheet-Forging-an-Oil-Free-FutureProtecting-Californians-from-Climate-Change.pdf

from Jan. 31, 2015 to Jan. 31, 2023, shows that Brentwood falls significantly short of the state-mandated goal for permits issued for very low- and low-income housing units. In the time frame stated, the plan set the goal of 234 units for very low-income individuals and 124 units for low-income individuals, but only 4 and 14 permits have been issued, respectively, coming in at a mere 1.7% towards the final goal for very low-income and 11.3% for low-income. In the same time period, 3,543 permits have been issued for homes being built and sold to individuals in the above-moderate-income demographic, which comes in at 1,269.9% of the plan’s 279-unit goal. Cycle 6 housing goals are currently being determined. If the projected numbers for

Ponds, puddles, and creeks can pose some serious problems for dogs. Dogs have a curious and instinctive nature, so they tend to want to drink from these sources. This is dangerous, and can even become fatal. Puddles tend to have a mixture of toxins, such as oil and antifreeze. Creeks contain blue-green algae, which is poison to dogs. They can develop gastrointestinal and neurological problems. Leptospirosis, a bacterial disease, can be found in both ponds and puddles, which is also toxic to dogs. Safety tip: Don’t ever let your dog drink from ponds, puddles and creeks. Always bring enough water and a collapsible bowl for the dog on your walks. Whenever you see your dog headed for these water sources, pull him away and find a place to sit and take out that collapsible bowl and pour some water into it or find a ground-level drinking fountain for dogs at a park.

Maybe you pick up after Fido, but unfortunately, not everyone does, so keep that in mind. Dog feces contain E-coli, which can cause diarrhea. So be sure to take enough poop bags on your walks to pick up after Fido. Safety tip: Steer your dog away from any feces on your walks. If you see it, hold the leash closer to you and walk

Safety tip: Walk the dog during certain hours of the day. The best times to walk the dog are in the early morning or in the evening — the coolest times of the day. Try to avoid direct sunlight and look for areas with lots of trees for shade. Also fit the dog with special booties for these walks to avoid not only a hot pavement, but also glass and other debris that litter the parks and trails. Both humans and dogs tend to get dehydrated in the hot sun, so bring enough water for yourself and Fido. There are also dog parks with special ground-level drinking fountains specifically for dogs. Find out where they are located.

If it’s too hot and there’s no shade where you choose to have your walk, then it’s best not to walk your dog that day. Walking your dog on a scorching hot day can be really dangerous for both you and the dog. It also damages their paw pads. They can wind up with serious burns, cuts and blisters. It’s disheartening to still see folks walking their dogs in hot weather. They seem unaware how unpleasant it is for the dog to walk on hot pavement with no shade. It’s best to test the pavement first by placing the back of your hand there. If you can’t keep it down longer than a few seconds, then it’s unsafe for the dog to walk on. Since humans wear shoes, we are unable to feel the heat. Plus, some dogs have fur, which is like wearing a coat in the summer. And there’s always the danger of heatstroke. Remember that if it’s too hot for you to walk barefoot on the pavement, then it’s too hot and uncomfortable for Fido.

Walking your dog is important for its health, but it’s imperative that you keep them safe while doing so.

Summer is almost here officially. With the sunny days upon us, more people are walking their dogs, too. But while walking the dog may seem like a fun and healthy activity, it comes with its own risks and dangers. You may encounter situations on your walk with Fido that you never thought about. That said, here are some common problems that you may have to deal with along with some safety precautions so that your walk with Fido can be more enjoyable.

Finding the right veterinarian for your pet DAWNMARIE FEHR

hoosing the right veterinarian can make or break a pet owner’s

experience, and there are a few veterinary care centers in East County. Manager Daniel Howland at Brentwood Family Pet Care said pet owners should make sure they find a veterinarian whose style of practicing medicine meets their needs. “You should make sure you are comfortable with your veterinarian,” said Howland. “Just like human doctors, they all have different personalities and styles. If you want someone who will sit and take time to talk to you, make sure that the veterinarian does that. Other people just want them to take the pet and fix it and that’s fine, but make sure the style of medicine the veterinarian practices is what is important to you.” Howland, who runs the day-to-day operations at Brentwood Family Pet Care, said another thing to consider is whether a veterinarian presents options to pet owners. “Vet care can be expensive, and the veterinarians that work the best for a lot

Veterinary Medical Center for 22 years. She suggested pet owners think about convenience as well as a good rapport. “I think with people’s schedules being what they are, think about where the hospital is located and do their hours fit your schedule,” she said. “If I have a regular 9-5 job, is that going to be a problem if I can only go to

the vet on Saturdays or late in the evening? So that’s what I would look at first.” She also suggested getting recommendations from friends and neighbors to see where they go for their animals. “In some cases, we have pets that come a long distance and drive past a lot of other vets to come here,” Lafferty said. “For them, it’s not the convenience so much as our services fit their needs.” Find out what type of animals a hospital will accept, the experts say. It can be difficult to find care for reptiles and amphibians, and even pocket pets like hamsters and rats. Finally, Lafferty suggested looking for a veterinarian with compassion. “Compassion is huge,” she said. “Do they care? Are they listening to you? Do their recommendations seem like they are based on your situation and your desires and wants? Compassion and listening is so important, from the person who answers the phone all the way to the vet themselves.” Brentwood Family Pet Care is at 4421 Balfour Road, Suite A, in Brentwood.

Exploring the benefits of pet insurance

nsuring the safety and wellbeing of a companion animal is a big responsibility. Pets

need shelter, food, water, and routine medical care at the very least, and some extra TLC can always do a pet good as well. New pet owners may experience some sticker shock after bringing a furry friend home. According to a Harris Poll conducted in the spring of 2020 on behalf of TD Ameritrade, dog owners spent nearly twice as much on their pets as cat owners – $1,201 versus $687 in a single year. One area that can be particularly costly is health care, especially if the pet has a chronic illness or suffers an injury. Pet insurance is an increasingly viable option for those looking to defray medical costs for their pets and safeguard them in the process. Like other types of insurance, pet insurance is something pet owners purchase hoping they will never have to use it. The TD Ameritrade survey found Millennials or Generation Xers report spending anywhere from three to 20 times more on pet insurance than Baby Boomers. Pet owners have various options in regard to insuring their animals. Certain

Plans that also include wellness options, like My Pet Protection with Wellness from Nationwide, tend to be broader and may cover preventive visits, flea and tick products, spaying and neutering, and even dental cleanings.

Pet insurance premiums, which are paid over time, can refund a good percentage of out-of-pocket costs to the pet owner. Here’s a look at some of the benefits of pet insurance. ♦ Pick whichever veterinarian you prefer: Unlike human health insurance plans that may require you to stay in a specific network of providers, pet insurance policies enable you to pick any veterinarian you prefer. ♦ Insure any age or breed of pet: Pet health insurance providers will cover older animals. However, premiums will be lower the earlier you insure your companion animal. ♦ Arrange a payment plan you can afford: Payment plans for pet insurance can be paid monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or annually depending on the plan and policy holders preferences. That makes it easier to fit pet health care into your budget. ♦ Ensures all health needs will be met: Some pet owners may push off or pick and choose treatments for their pets depending on the cost of these procedures. Pet insurance may be the difference between getting your pet the care he or she needs or delaying getting pets the help they need.

64 years and counting – Cutino’s feeds Oakley’s animals MELISSA VAN RUITEN

utino’s Feed and Tire Center has served Oakley and the surrounding area since 1958, when the original owners, Tony and Lois

Cutino, opened up shop on Main Street in Oakley. Cutino’s carries a variety of pet, poultry, and large animal feed, including popular brands such as Taste of the Wild, Canidae, Swanson Poultry Feed, and Victor Dog Food. “We special order a lot of stuff, as well.” said current

owner Tom Seeno. Seeno began working at Cutino’s in 1976, when he was a senior in high school. How have things changed since then? “It’s a rollercoaster all the time,” Seeno said. “Things change. You just have to go with the flow. Customer service has always been the benchmark of our business.” Since the Best of Oakley contest began in 2008, Cutino’s has consistently taken first place in Livestock and Feed Supply category, so locals enjoy the products and service offered. They’re also big supporters of local 4H and Future Farmers of America clubs. “During the 4H time, for the [county] fair, they buy their feed here,” Seeno said. “I order what they want, and they

feed [the livestock] from the time they get them, to the time they auction them at the fair.” While Cutino’s doesn’t facilitate the sale of most animals, they do offer live chicks for sale in the spring and summer, along with the equipment needed to get your own chicken operation up and running. Ameraucanas and Barred Plymouth Rocks are two of the chicken breeds that have been offered in the past. Both breeds are considered dual-purpose, meaning that they are good egg layers, but also are suitable for meat. Cutino’s Feed and Tire Center is at 3770 Main St, Oakley. Business hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Saturdays, 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. For more information, call 925-625-2200.

dog owners lose their pets in a five-year period, while 15 percent of cat owners lose their pets. The ASPCA indicates that around one in three pets will go missing in their lifetimes. While Lost Pet Research & Recovery says only 6% of dogs are not recovered, a much larger percentage of cats (34%) are never found. Therefore, pet owners should take certain steps to prevent lost pets and to help recover them quickly. ♦ Update identification. The more forms of identification a pet has, the better the chances for recovery. While a collar with ID tags is essential, microchipping is an additional safeguard. Be sure to routinely update the microchip database with your current information.

♦ Act quickly. Don’t waste hours or days waiting for a pet to return home. The sooner you begin searching the area, the better the odds of finding the pet. Start with the immediate area right outside your home and branch out from there. ♦ Check nooks and crannies. Pets may become frightened of noises or escape homes to chase other animals. American Humane urges owners to look for places the pet may become trapped, such as in basements or garages. Other places to look include under vehicles. Pets may hide during the day, so return to areas at night. Bring along a toy or treat that may lure the pet out of hiding. – Courtesy of Metro Creative

Tips to make your home more cat-friendly

illions of people cannot imagine life at home without their cats. Cats

make wonderful pets, bringing their own unique personality into a home and providing companionship to their owners. As great as cats are, millions still enter animal shelters every year. According to the ASPCA, roughly half of the 6.5 million companion animals that enter United States animal shelters each year are cats. And while figures are dropping, hundreds of thousands of those cats end up being euthanized. Local animal shelters are home to many cats that would make great pets, and prospective cat owners are urged to

visit such shelters to find cats that would make welcome additions to their homes. For those who find cats to take home, the following are a handful of ways to make a home as cat-friendly as possible.

to such appliances closed, and check to make sure cats are not inside before using these appliances. Paper shredders and work stations with lots of wires also pose a safety risk to cats, so make sure these appliances and areas are inaccessible.

Watch how cats drink water.

Some cats respond positively to cat flaps, while others do not. Cat flaps also may invite other cats into a home, which can upset your cat and make it vulnerable to attack. While some cats may want the freedom a cat flap allows, others may be on edge around the cat flap. Let cats’ behavior dictate if you will keep the cat flap or not.

Provide high, but safe, resting places.

Take stock of appliances that pose Watch how cats safety risks. behave around cat Certain appliances are potentially flaps. significant threats to cats’ safety. For example, International Cat Care notes that open washing machines or tumble dryers, particularly those with warm clothes inside, may be too tempting for cats to ignore. Unsuspecting homeowners may close the doors to washers and dryers, trapping cats inside, or even turn the appliances on without recognizing the cats are inside. Always keep doors

Walking from page 3 dog is friendly and wants to play, the other dog may not and become territorial and reactive, possibly causing a fight. Your dog may be injured in the process. So to avoid any problems, move to the side and let the owner and dog duo pass. Or cross the street if you need to. Just be aware of your surroundings. Safety tip: Invest in a collar, leash and harness, all in one, to prevent losing control over Fido. There are

specially designed harnesses that allow you to attach a leash that won’t pull on your dog. It gently lures the dog away from possible danger. Also, carry a non-toxic, concentrated spray or a spray bottle with water just in case an aggressive dog approaches you. Or train the dog to focus attention on you. This can be done with treats. Get Fido to look you in the eyes before giving him the treat. Dog walking is a great way to get some exercise,

International Cat Care notes that the presence of water near food may deter some cats from drinking enough fluids. That’s because cats naturally hunt for food and water separately. Some cats may be fine if food and water are in the same bowl, but if you notice your cat is ignoring its water bowl, try placing it elsewhere in the home to ensure your cat gets enough fluids.

Cats want to rest and observe their surroundings from on high. Don’t deter cats from resting in such places, but make sure they’re positioned in such a way that cats can safely get down when they want to.

enjoy the outdoors and bond with your dog. Just be aware of your surroundings and learn about the possible risks and dangers when out with your dog. You will be better prepared and find the walks much more enjoyable. Norma Quintanilla is a long-time resident of Brentwood and the sole proprietor of Walking the Dog Pet Services.
