Details of suspect in Hobby Lobby shoplifting incident not publicized 3 hospitalized after bear spray released

The Antioch Hobby Lobby was evacuated after an alleged shoplifter sprayed a store manager with bear spray.

By Melissa van Ruiten Staff Writer

More than a week after shoppers and employees of Hobby Lobby on Lone Tree Way in Antioch got an unpleasant surprise when an alleged shoplifter released what authorities believe to be bear spray inside the store, Antioch police have not released a description of the suspect. Police did not respond to requests for a comment or follow-up on this incident. “My family and I were shopping in Hobby Lobby, and we heard an announce-

Shepherd’s Gate CEO Carol Patterson

Shepherd’s Gate, a women’s shelter on Sycamore Avenue in Brentwood, may soon be able to house more residents following a 4-0 approval of their proposal by the Planning Commission on Nov. 7. Commissioner Kristopher Brand was absent. The City Council is expected to discuss a design review of

the project at a future meeting. The proposal sought to be able to accommodate 15 more residents at the facility at 605 Sycamore Ave., according to the agenda packet. Current permits allow Shepherd’s Gate to house 18 women and children, according to Associate Planner Miguel Contreras, who presented the item. To accommodate the additional residents, Shepherd’s Gate

Delta Protection Advisory Commission seeks tribal representatives

The Delta Protection Advisory Commission is seeking tribal representatives to fill two seats. The committee, which meets in the evening every other month at locations in the Delta, advises the commission on diverse interests in the Delta. The new members, likely to be appointed in January, will serve terms that expire in 2027. The application deadline is Dec. 15. For details on how to apply, visit www. jotform.com/form/232886827277069.

State Parks department launches ‘Arts in California Parks’ program California State Parks has launched a program, Arts in California Parks, to help make California’s parks more inclusive and welcoming. Through this new program, artists, culture bearers, and California Native American tribes will be eligible to receive funding to create artwork throughout state and local parks. The public is invited to chime in on the development of the program through a survey at ArtsinCaliforniaParks.org, and

to participate as visitors or collaborators, according to a department press release. The program represents a collaboration between State Parks, the California Arts Council, and Parks California, and is one of the many efforts underway as part of State Parks’ Reexamining Our Past Initiative. Initiated by a one-time $25 million general fund allocation that extends through 2027, the program will fund projects in both state and local parks that offer perspective on California’s past and present and help promote community connections. Artists, culture bearers, and California Native American tribes interested in creating public art in California state and/ or local parks are encouraged to join the new Arts in California Parks Artist Directory that helps facilitate the co-creation of project proposals between parks and creative partners. The directory is a resource that will support collaboration by allowing park staff to connect with artists and/or organizations based on location, art medium, and more, the press release said. Funded projects will be announced in 2024, under two distinct sub-programs. The Local Park Grant Program, which will pay for projects in local parks through a competitive grant program, will launch in 2024, and is anticipated to include three funding cycles. The state parks subprogram-initiated pilot projects in 2023

and will fund additional projects in state Parks in summer 2024 and summer 2025. An advisory committee offering diverse geographic, multicultural, interdisciplinary, and organizational perspectives is being formed to guide the development and implementation of the program. With guidance from the advisory committee as well as community and artist participation, this program will increase the capacity of California’s parks to educate, and inspire individuals. For details, visit californiaparks.org.

Drafts of Contra Costa County General Plan and Climate Action Plan available for review

From land use and housing to climate change and environmental justice, residents are invited to explore drafts of the General Plan and Climate Action Plan to ensure they reflect the community’s collective aspirations for Contra Costa County’s future. View the plans and provide comments on the project website at envisioncontracosta2040.org through Jan. 31, 2024. The document is the County’s primary policy tool to guide physical changes in the unincorporated areas over the next 20 years. It serves as the basis for planning-

and infrastructure-related decisions made by County staff and decisionmakers. It is built around the themes of environmental justice, community health, economic development, and sustainability. “Our General Plan establishes the policies that will move us towards a more equitable, healthier, safer and stronger future,” said John Gioia, Chair of the Board of Supervisors. “Public participation and input is vital in creating sound policy and guiding our public decisions on the issues that impact every facet of our lives.” The Public Review Draft Climate Action Plan 2024 Update is the County’s strategic plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to adapt to changing climate conditions, in the unincorporated areas of the County. The 2024 Climate Action Plan implements the General Plan policy guidance and addresses behaviors, regulations, and investment decisions that directly reduce greenhouse gas emissions or promote climate resilience. Community feedback has been the driving force behind these planning efforts. County staff have held over 130 meetings with residents, advocates, stakeholders, and officials. This collaborative effort, including almost 50 community meetings and more than 20 with organizations, has shaped the shared vision for Contra Costa County.

When Liberty High students Ke’Marion Tucker and Nikolas Capelletti died last month, Heritage senior wide receiver Brooks Davis felt like he had to do something to bring the community together in the wake of the tragic deaths. “When all of this went down, we were at the dinner table, and Brooks said, ‘I can’t believe this is happening,’” Noelle Davis, Davis’s mother, said. “He said, ‘I wish there was something we could do, whether it be a patch or something.’” Brooks came up with an idea for a helmet sticker, and with help from fellow Brentwood residentl Lori Lowell and her company Celebrate Everything Apparel and Design, both teams wore the sticker on the back of their helmets in last Friday’s Brentwood Bowl at Liberty. “When I found out (what happened), it was heartbreaking,” Brooks said. “It’s never easy hearing about someone, especially from our hometown, for how tragic it was. It’s terrible. No one ever wants to go through that, so I just kind of felt for them.” “It’s just great to see that the spirit of competition is also a spirit of brotherhood in this community,” Heritage’s head football coach Dave Fogelstrom said. “We’re all members of the Brentwood community, especially considering the tough times, especially for Liberty, when you see a rival going through that. While we all want to win (the Brentwood Bowl), it’s a football

Both families will split the profits of the fundraiser evenly, 50-50. “I was very surprised (at the amount sold),” Lowell said. “I figured it would be one of those things that maybe a few people close to the families bought. But I’m excited, I’m happy that this turned into this bigger thing and I can’t wait to write the checks.” Pre-orders for the apparel end on Nov. 17 with the apparel expected to be ready for pickup on Dec. 1.

game and it’s great to see the whole community rally around that.” Tucker was killed during the house party shooting in Shannon Way in Oakley last month, and Capelletti died while working out at home. The logo featured the Liberty Lions’ logo stacked atop the Heritage star and ‘H.’ Lowell said that the inspiration behind the design was that of a “hug” from the Heritage community to Liberty. “I just had this idea in my head of a Heritage hug,” Lowell said. “Like, if Heritage parents with the Heritage students could hug Liberty students who are hurting so much from these losses, that would really be a special thing.” Below the design was “94513 Strong,” shying away from the typical “Brentwood Strong,” which is actually copyrighted from the organization “BrentwoodStrong. com,” a grassroots organization that helped senior citizens through the COVID-19 health crisis. “It’s a copyright infringement,” Lowell said. “Because of the timeframe that we were under, I know they wanted these stickers for that last game, I just thought ‘Let’s move on.’ The ZIP code, ZIP code decorations have been really popular.” Lowell said that as of Wednesday, they’ve sold 86 pieces of apparel with

Student uses poetry to channel grief Heritage High School graduate publishes collection

Heritage High School graduate Emma Kamaile Crannell published her first collection of poetry, All My Love To You, after receiving a massive amount of support from TikTok users. The collection explores the nuances of first love, heartbreak, and the path to healing.

By Melissa van Ruiten Staff Writer

Facing the “tumultuous” end of a “long-term relationship” left Emma Kamaile Crannell, 19, looking for an outlet to express her heartbreak. She decided to turn to her life-long love of poetry to process her emotions. Crannell, who says that being vulnerable and sharing her feelings publicly doesn’t come easily, decided to take a leap of faith and share one of her poems on the social media app, TikTok. “The first poem I posted called “blue” changed it all for me,” said Crannell, who grew up in Brentwood. “It gained 7,000 views in one day, and to my surprise, I began to receive encouraging messages to continue writing and sharing my voice. I saw this as an opportunity to pursue my passion for writing poetry, not only to help myself heal but to hopefully help others along the way.” The next poem that Crannell posted, “what about me,” reached 2 million views. The young poet called it “an overwhelming emotional response from an audience I never thought I would be able to reach.”

Crannell received supportive messages from viewers all over the country, but according to the social media platform’s analytics, her audience was predominantly other young women. “Although initially hesitant in sharing, I have found strength in the power of words

and their ability to not only heal myself, but others in the process,” Crannell said. After fielding numerous comments asking whether Crannell planned to compile her poems into a book, not only did she decide to make the leap, she decided that she was going to do it all herself, from start to finish. “I chose to self publish, because I wanted to teach myself the entire process,” Crannell said. “I wanted to get the book up before I went to college, and the easiest way to do that was to self publish.” After months of work, All of My Love to You was published on Sept. 13 under the pen name Emma Kamaile, be-

cause she felt it was important to represent her Hawaiian heritage. It’s a significant date for Crannell, as it was a month before her 19th birthday and a week before she moved into her dorm at the University of Oregon where she studies business marketing. “It was such a life-changing process that I wouldn’t trade for the world,” said Crannell. “It taught me self discipline, encouraged independence and sparked so much creativity and curiosity in the areas of business and marketing that I did not have prior.” Crannell credits Courtney Peppernell and Courtney Hanson as two of her favorite poets, saying they share a similar writing style to herself and are able to convey and illustrate the female experience through their use of vivid imagery and focus on heavy topics such as relationships, mental health, and self love. The poetic, storytelling nature of Taylor Swift’s music was also a huge inspiration for Crannell, who says that she’s grown up listening to Swift’s music. “Her songs have helped me through some of my hardest times, and I can only hope to be as much of a light and inspiration in people’s lives as she has been in mine,” Crannell said. Crannell is thankful for all of the amazing teachers she had, but specifically called out her 2nd grade teacher at Krey Elementary, Mrs. Berry. She says that Berry always encouraged her to follow her own path and always stay true to herself. Crannell is already brainstorming her next book, and hopes to have it published in the next year or two.

A piece of history rolls to final stop at Antioch Historical Society By Jeff Weisinger Staff Writer

Antioch’s historic Red Caboose has found its final buffers. The Antioch Historical Museum will have a dedication ceremony on Nov. 18 at 11 a.m. as the Red Caboose 999069 unveils its final stop at 1500 W. 4th St. “There have always been trains passing through Antioch, and the history here is unmistakable,” said Tom Menasco, the project coordinator and the chairperson of the Delta Veterans Group. “We aim to offer people, especially children, the opportunity to experience a caboose up close, as, in many cases, children have never had the chance to be on a train in their lives.” The Red Caboose was moved to its current location on W. 4th Street earlier this year. The caboose was part of a restaurant called “The Red Caboose Restaurant” that was destroyed in a fire in March of 2022, but the caboose itself survived, needing some renovations. Railroad history is a big part of Northern California’s history. Although trains continue to pass through Antioch today, like CalTrain, trains played a big role within the city of Antioch, specifically.

The Press file photo

The crew from DrillTech of Antioch poses for a photo in front of The Red Caboose. “There were coal mining operations there and the first trains came from the coal mines down into downtown Antioch off of F Street,” Menasco said. “At the river, the coal was taken off of the small railroad cars and put onto ships. The coal was sent to San Francisco, where in the 1900s, everybody was burning coal for heat fuel. “That’s where train history really began, in Antioch.”

According to the Antioch Historical Museum, the caboose was built in Selma, just south of Fresno, in 1929. It served as a working caboose car for 53 years until a derailment in Mojave in 1982, left it stranded on its side for six months before it was decommissioned. It eventually was converted into a beer bar in 1969 before becoming the restaurant in 1983. The Antioch Historical Society’s

past president Donald P. Freitas will be the master of ceremonies for the event while current president Dwayne Eubanks will deliver the welcoming remarks and introduce the board of directors. Along with Menasco, the ceremony’s speakers include James R. Boccio, DPM, the son of Jim Boccio who purchased the caboose for his wife, Phyllis, in 1983, and Doug Debs, a lead docent of the Niles Canyon Railway.

Police agencies get $715,500 to improve highway safety, testing

CREATING A STRONG ESTATE PLAN

By Todd W. Moeller, Moeller Estate Law Each component of an estate plan serves a specific purpose. An effective estate plan allows you to set forth treatment preferences in the case of serious illness and provide a means to protect assets for your intended beneficiaries and family members. A Last Will and Testament (“Will”) may be useful for modest estates where, for example, there is no real property at issue and the financial assets are minimal. A Will also allows you to specify your wishes regarding asset division and guardianship of your minor children. In many cases, a Living Trust can be and should be used in lieu of a Will. A Living Trust can provide additional protection for assets and avoid the necessity of probate at your death. Furthermore, Living Trusts can be used to aid a child with special needs throughout their lifetime. Who will manage your financial affairs if you become incapacitated? By setting up a Durable Power of Attorney, you choose that person.

Ideally, you will select someone whom you trust to protect your best interests at a time when you cannot speak for yourself. That individual, referred to as an attorney-in-fact in California, will be authorized to carry on your financial activities such as paying bills, selling property and taking care of tax responsibilities. Similarly, if you create an Advance Health Care Directive, you decide who will be your agent when it comes to making important decisions about your health care treatment in the event you are unable to make your own decisions. 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.

A $122,000 state grant will help Brentwood Police increase patrols and provide other traffic safety programs to help reduce the number of serious injuries and deaths on roads. And the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff Forensic Services Division received a one-year grant of $593,500 to help keep roads safe from impaired drivers. The Brentwood police grant will provide additional programs and resources, including: • DUI checkpoints and patrols focused on stopping suspected impaired drivers. • High visibility distracted driving enforcement operations targeting drivers in violation of California’s hands-free cellphone law. • Enforcement operations focused on the most dangerous driver behaviors that put the safety of people biking or walking at risk. • Enforcement operations focused on top violations that cause crashes: speeding, failure to yield, stop sign and/or red-light running, and improper turning or lane changes. • Community presentations on traffic safety issues such as distracted driving, impaired driving, speeding, bicycle and pedestrian safety. • Collaborative enforcement efforts with neighboring agencies. • Motorcycle safety campaigns

Enforcement operations focused on street racing and sideshow activity. • Officer training and/or recertification: Standard Field Sobriety Test (SFST), Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) and Drug Recognition Expert (DRE). The grant program will run through September 2024. The sheriff’s office forensics division will use the money to support the testing program for detecting alcohol and drugs in driving under the influence (DUI) cases. Updated testing equipment will be purchased to replace existing equipment used to confirm alcohol in DUI cases, according to a press release. Instruments and validation services will also be purchased to develop a comprehensive confirmation method to detect illegal, prescription, and over-the-counter drugs commonly found in DUI cases. ”This grant will improve testing capabilities, analysis, and turnaround times at the Forensic Services Division,” said Contra Costa Sheriff David Livingston. “Having rapid results will benefit county law enforcement agencies and prosecutors and improve public safety.” Funding for these programs was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

After searching all summer to find a successor to former athletic director Richard Villegas, Los Medanos College has hired Marty Storti to fill the vacancy. “I’ve known a few people that have worked here and they have described the culture in a very positive light, and I wanted to be a part of it,” Storti said on being hired at LMC. Storti comes to LMC after having spent over 20 years at Saint Mary’s College where he played football, baseball and rugby. Then, Storti transitioned into a coach and administrative role. Under Storti’s leadership, Saint Mary’s sports teams began to achieve success on a national scale. In 2011, the men’s soccer team reached the NCAA tournament Elite 8. The college’s rugby team

also began to take off and took home four consecutive national championships from 2014-’17. “I had some great experiences and great memories of Saint Mary’s,” Storti said. However, Storti explained that during his time at Saint Mary’s he did more than just help student-athletes win games. He made sure his students took advantage of any financial aid opportunities. One student in particular had to redo their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form after having their mother died that year. “We worked with the financial aid office, and they found out to redo the FAFSA to use the current system, and that dramatically changed everything,” Storti said. One of Storti’s goals is to improve the athletic program’s communications to

STORTI help bring more attention to the studentathletes and the overall athletics program. “We need to bridge the gap for communication,” he said, “Student athletes love looking on the

website and seeing pictures of themselves or stories about their team. We need to make sure that we brand LMC athletics in an appealing way.” Overall, in his first two weeks as athletic director, Storti is looking for ways to make the behind- the- scenes aspect of the job more efficient such as paperwork and helping the athletics program become more organized. “I have to come up with solutions and identify systems and figure out how I can make them more efficient and effective,” Storti said. Storti wants to make it one of his top priorities to do anything he can do to help student-athletes in his program succeed and move on to the next level. “I’ve done that my whole career. It’s the most rewarding part of any job I’ve ever had,” Storti said.

Life after Muse begins for Heritage girls basketball By Jeff Weisinger Staff Writer

Heritage’s girls basketball team has one thing on their mind this season: returning to both the North Coast Section tournament and the CIF State tournament. How they’ll do it on the court this season will look a lot different compared to the last two years. However, head coach Mark Hurtado is confident with what he’s seen in the early days of camp thus far. “It’s pretty positive,” he said. “We’re just working through it. We have a couple of young girls on our team, so we’re working through getting going, through the motions, setting up the program. But it’s encouraging.” With 6-foot-4 All-American Amanda Muse now at UCLA, the Patriots no longer have the one player in the paint that they try to play through, much like how they did last year, and with good reason. Muse averaged 14.5 points per game in the 2022-23 season with 12 rebounds and four blocks per game, establishing her presence in the paint early and often throughout the season. Hurtado’s challenge this year isn’t necessarily placing that on any one player this year, instead finding more creative ways to replicate that production throughout the 14-player roster. “I actually enjoy coaching this kind of basketball,” Hurtado said. “It’s less centered on one person where we have to get her touches and teams knew that they were focusing on her that week. There’s nobody really to focus on, so we get to run through everybody, and everybody gets a little piece of the pie on offense and defense.” Part of that plan includes more ball movement, starting with returning senior point guard Kendall McClure. As a junior, she averaged 9.9 points per game last year with 4.5 assists per game (fifth-best in the NCS). McClure showed her scoring ability early in the year, highlighted by a 30-point game against Monte Vista in early December, then following that up a week later with a 21-point night against James Logan. “It’s definitely been an adjustment,” McClure said about the start of camp and the new-look lineup. “We’re definitely a lot smaller, but I think with that we want to

run, we want to get the ball off the court quicker and faster. Instead of setting up an offense, which was when we’re able to feed Amanda, we’re just going to get the ball down the court, push the ball and hopefully produce a lot quicker in the game.” Heritage finished 22-7 overall and 10-0 in the BVAL last season, the fourth time in the last five full seasons (not including the COVID-delayed 2020-21 campaign). However, last year’s strong campaign fell flat come tournament time. Heritage lost both NCS tournament games – including a 77-38 loss at Acalanes – then fell 77-62 at St. Mary’s in Stockton in the first round of the CIF Division I State tournament to end the year, a game in which they stuck around with the top-seeded Rams in the first half before St. Mary’s ran away with the game in the third quarter. McClure and the rest of the team know the importance of taking last year’s experience going into the upcoming season. “We know these girls are good,” McClure said. “It would mean a lot to us to win a game that’s special.” McClure is one of eight seniors on this year’s senior-

dominated team. The other seniors are Abby Livermore, Aubrey and Aleiyah Villamore, Grace Hernandez, Amia Ayala, Tahtiyana Doss, and Aliyah Rollins. The roster includes two juniors, Gelenna Smithers and Phoebe Manalili, sophomore Sanaa Boykin, and two freshmen, Ze’Ni and Zion Patterson. “Having our two senior guard starters back is going to be very helpful,” Hurtado said. “Two leading scorers besides Amanda, which is huge for us. And then we have some youngsters that are coming up who are probably going to start as freshmen. “It’s still a very talented program.” Heritage opens their season on the road at San Ramon Valley on Nov. 21 and takes on Bishop O’Dowd on Black Friday, Nov. 24, in their home opener. They open the season with five of their first seven games on the road, with the only other home matchup in the opening stretch against Acalanes on Dec. 5. The Patriots return home for the start of the 2024 calendar year with three straight at home including Bay Valley Athletic League opening matchups against Antioch (Jan. 9) and Deer Valley (Jan. 12).

National Signing Day: 5 Liberty Lions sign with colleges his two seasons so far, carrying a 2.81 ERA with 154 strikeouts. Roberts (Arizona State), along with girls soccer players Payton Hoover (San Jose State) and Kayla Cochenour (Cal State Stanislaus), softball player Kaileigh Mares (Stonehill College), and girls water polo Athena Ayers (Loyola Marymount) all signed their national letters of intent in front of family and friends inside Ghiggeri gym with athletics director and boys basketball coach Jon Heinz leading the ceremony. “It’s an amazing day when you get to honor five athletes for signing scholarships,” Heinz said. “They’re all great kids, and it’s fun to see the families out here enjoying the moment.” “It’s a small town, everyone knows each other,” Roberts said of the crowd of about 100 family and friends on hand Wednesday. “When someone’s up, the rest comes with them, and I think it’s really special.” Payton Hoover Hoover, who’s preparing for her senior season with Liberty’s girls soccer team, is just as excited for what’s ahead at San Jose State.

When Liberty pitcher David Roberts was younger, his father took him onto the pitching mound at Phoenix Municipal Stadium at Arizona State University. “The second I laid eyes on the field, I was like ‘this is what I want to do,” Roberts said. The path eventually laid itself out for the Lions’ ace southpaw through the next decade: from travel ball to Liberty, to the Perfect Game Baseball Showcases and the Red Sox scout team last summer, all culminating in his latest big step on Wednesday, National Signing Day. “I knew right from the start that’s where I wanted to go,” Roberts said. “This whole process now with the verbal commitment, and a lot of stuff happens – you could get pulled or you could choose a different school. It’s all about just making it a reality, and now that it’s official, it feels really good.” He was one of five Lions who signed their letters of intent to play their sport at Division I colleges next year. He gave his verbal commitment to ASU back in late January. “Now that it’s official, I can play the

the lifetime exclusion. Who keeps track of gifts that count against the lifetime exclusion amount? You do. You are required to submit a gift tax return for all gifts that exceed the annual exclusion. This return allows the IRS to keep track. If an individual gives away $10 million during their lifetime, and when that person dies also has an estate worth $5 million, (for a total of $15 million), estate taxes will be due on the amount that exceeds $12.92 million. As you can see, even though you may not owe a gift tax at the time you gift your home, a tax may still be payable depending on the amount given during your lifetime. This stuff can be confusing. Best advice is to speak with an estate plan attorney like me and a tax expert prior to gifting to avoid unwanted surprises for yourself and those you leave behind when you pass away. If you have questions on this or any other estate planning topic, call me at (925) 516-4888. East County Family Law Group, 1181 Central Blvd., Suite A, Brentwood. www.eastcountyfamilylaw.com

IS THERE A TAX FOR GIFTING MONEY OR PROPERTY?

Can you give away money or property without paying a gift tax? The answer is (wait for it). . . maybe. I have many clients who ask about gifting a home or cash to their child now rather than on death. They want to help that child now, especially given the high price of real estate in California. The concepts of gift tax and estate tax come into play here. California does not have a gift tax. The feds do. The tax is levied on the giver and not the recipient. Unless the gift amount (or value of property) is more than $12.92 million for an individual, no taxes will be due. This amount can change and has been increasing for many years. This amount is determined by adding up all gifts during your lifetime and the value of your estate at death. There is also the annual gift tax exemption that allows a married couple to give up to $34,000 ($17,000 each) per year. The exclusion is per recipient. Thus, if you give to a married couple, you can give $68,000 tax free and the amount does not count towards

So I’m very excited to be a part of that.” In addition to her time at Liberty, Hoover also played her club soccer with West Coast Soccer Club, which announced last summer her verbal commitment to San Jose State. Kayla Cochenour Cochenour played a huge role in Liberty’s backline last season, notching a pair of assists before getting injured while preventing a goal. “This is a player that is very determined out there, very focused with attention to detail,” Lions head girls soccer coach Nikki Toeaina said. “She is an anchor to our defense.

requests that: BRANDI R. FORD be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: a. Date: 03/07/2024 Time: 9:00 a.m. Dept: 15. b. Address of court: 725 Court Street, Martinez, CA 94553.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: Megan Galarneau 3031 W.

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 $502,491.42 (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, CA08000315-211. 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 attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. Trustor: HEATHER ANNE SMITH, A MARRIED WOMAN AS HER SOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY Duly Appointed Trustee: Western Progressive, LLC Deed of Trust Recorded 11/09/2006 as Instrument No. 2006-0360291-00 in book —-, page—- and of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Contra Costa County, California, Date of Sale: 12/21/2023 at 01:30 PM Place of Sale: AT THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PITTSBURG CIVIC CENTER NEAR THE GRASS LOCATED AT 65 CIVIC AVENUE, PITTSBURG, CA 94565 Estimated amount of unpaid balance, reasonably estimated costs and other charges: $228,343.81 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE THE TRUSTEE WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH, 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, 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: 4320 CHENIN LANE, OAKLEY, CA 94561 A.P.N.: 035-341-018-6 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: $ 228,343.81. 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 https://www.altisource.com/ loginpage.aspx using the file number assigned to this case 2023-00263-CA. 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. WESTERN PROGRESSIVE, LLC MAY BE ACTING AS A DEBT COLLECTOR ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT. ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED MAY BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction, if conducted after January 1, 2021, pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (866)-960-8299, or visit this internet website https://www.altisource.com/ loginpage.aspx, using the file number assigned to this case 2023-00263-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Suspect from page 1 es, we were able to determine that the vast majority of people did not need to go to the hospital,” Macumber said. “We did have to facilitate a rescue and send crews inside in their fire turnouts and air-to-go, because the person had been involved when the incident occurred, that was more than likely due to a criminal act.” ConFire hazmat crews assessed the lin-

gering toxins in the front area of the store where the toxins were released, according to a Hobby Lobby employee. “There was someone who was walking around the store, looking suspicious,” said cashier Joey Aragon Bliss. “He was stealing things, and our manager was following him around.” Then, the suspect turned around and sprayed the manager in the face with a big

They maintain facilities in other areas, such as Livermore, and opened the Brentwood campus in January 2006. Previous improvements were made to the Brentwood location in 2021 in the form of offices as well as a learning and career center, according to the website. “We’re always in need of going over the number 18,” Shepherd’s Gate CEO Carol Patterson told the commissioners. “There is such a high need for women and children to have a safe place to recover from the trauma that they’ve experienced.”

Crisis from page 1 animals each day, we’re asking for the community’s help in getting as many pets out of the shelter as we possibly can through adoption and foster.” In addition to offering free adoptions as a way to find permanent homes for pets in the shelter, CCAS is also seeking qualified foster homes – specifically those that can accommodate large dog breeds – to

can of what police initially believed to be pepper spray before exiting the store, according to Aragon Bliss. “The second that you got to the front of the store, you could just smell it and feel it in your throat,” said Aragon Bliss. Once the hazmat crews got security footage of the incident, they determined that the can and unknown substance was consistent with the appearance of commercially

Patterson characterized the cottages as an opportunity to move “alumni women” from the main body of the shelter into more private dwellings while they continue “working on” their lives while also freeing up a bed for another woman in need at the main facility. A sticking point during the approval process was the language of the resolution presented to the Planning Commission. Although Shepherd’s Gate’s mission statement is to provide for women and children, state inclusionary laws do not allow language in the municipal code that would bar individuals from access to housing, Contreras said during his presentation.

help alleviate the current shelter population, according to the press release. “The shelter system is in crisis,” according to Christina Johnson. Johnson and her husband, Chris, are the founders of Ruff Day Rescue, a local dog rescue that also advocates the importance of fostering. Ruff Day Rescue has over 50 dogs and a network of foster volunteers across the state. “We need help,” Johnson said. “We need people to foster, adopt, and spay and neuter their pets.” Roughly 6.3 million animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year, according to 2019 data from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. While the 2019 data suggested that the number of animals entering the shelters was in decline, the number of animals ending up in shelters has steadily risen since the 2020 pandemic, according to Johnson and Steve Burdo, the public information officer for CCAS. “This situation isn’t unique to Contra Costa County,” Burdo said of overcrowding earlier this year. Overcrowding at shelters, according to Burdo, is a national trend post-pandemic for a number of reasons, such as pet owners being laid off who cannot afford to keep their pets or owners who adopted pets while working remotely who

sold bear spray. Pepper spray and bear spray both contain oleoresin capsicum as the active ingredient. However, bear spray contains a higher concentration of the active ingredient – making it the stronger spray -- and is designed to be shot at a further distance from the attacker, according to personal protection company SABRE’s website.

Commissioner Dirk Zeigler expressed concern that more neutral language in the zoning document – such as “individuals” or “persons” rather than “women and children” – would potentially put Shepherd’s Gate in what he called a “bad position.” However, city staff explained that the conditional use permit associated with operation of Shepherd’s Gate specified it was for women and children and that the permit would supersede the text of the zoning ordinance. The other business item discussed at the meeting was the 3-0 approval of an application from the city for the Downtown Brentwood Coalition to maintain a “professional office” within an existing commercial building at 648 Second St. Zeigler a member of the DBC, recused himself from the agenda item to prevent a conflict of interest.

no longer have time for their animals since returning to the office. Free adoptions for November are not a new development, as the shelter has not charged for adoptions in over a year, according to Burdo. “We’re pulling out all the stops to get animals out of the shelter and into loving homes,”

CCAS Director Beth Ward said. “With our shelter being at or near capacity for months, we knew we needed to try some things differently to make adoption and fostering even more accessible to our community.’ Another reason for the crowded conditions at the county shelter is that, unlike nonprofit shelters such the Animal Rescue Foundation in Walnut Creek, CCAS is a municipal agency. As a result, they are mandated to take in stray animals, as well as sick or injured animals, according to Burdo. Interested adopters and fosters can view CCAS’s available pets at www.ccasd. org, or meet them at the CCAS adoption center in Martinez. A $25 licensing fee may apply for pet adoptions. Center hours at 4800 Imhoff Place are Tuesday-Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesdays until 7 p.m. Potential fosters can also visit www.contracosta. ca.gov/6730/Animal-Foster-Programs for more information on their program.

Antioch police try to improve customer service New technology use to enhance communications Antioch police have introduced a new communications system that it says will help improve its customer service. The police launched what’s called SPIDR Tech, a fully automated system that provides callers with pertinent information about updates about incidents via text or email. When someone requests police services from an SMS-enabled phone, they should expect to receive a text message acknowledging their call for most incidents. In some cases, a delay might occur when a higher-priority call comes in and the responding officer goes there instead.

If the officer is diverted, the caller will be notified, according to a press release. All messages are available in English and in Spanish. After the incident is handled, the caller will receive a survey to provide feedback on the experience. Callers also can opt-in to receive news about local events, road closures and crime alerts. Residents can sign up for this service by texting 925-568-7388 with the keyword APD. SPIDR TECH is a Versatem Public Safety company founded by former law enforcement officers to help police agencies use their own data to improve public perception and increase their efficiency in customer service and improve communication between police agencies and the public, the press release said.

Congratulations to first Mystery Monday winner

tevie Pruscha was the October winner for The Press Hometown News’ weekly Mystery Monday contest. She had one of the first 10 correct guesses for the week of October 16, which was the water fountain on the corner of Oak and First streets in downtown Brentwood. Pruscha’s name was randomly chosen from the group of 40 people who were the first ones to respond with the correct answers for the entire month, so she received a $25 gift card for Zephyr Grill and Bar.
