The holidays are a wonderful time for sharing in the spirit of the season with family, friends and community. It can also be an overwhelming time when we can so easily get caught up in the hustle and bustle of preparing for all our festivities. The weather turns colder, we can get carried away with our expenses and suddenly we have a sharper awareness of our neighbors that may be experiencing this time of year quite differently than us. Many families in our community work very hard to barely make ends meet, which means they may not have funds for gifts, holiday feasts, or even warm clothing and bedding to get through these colder winter days and nights. When we remember this and think of our fellow neighbors, this helps take our focus off of all the 'stuff' and puts it back on what really matters.
There are many opportunities in which to volunteer, both with time and generous donations. Here is just a snapshot of some of the opportunities available in our community and which our office will be participating in:
SHELTER, Inc.
SHELTER, Inc. works to prevent and end homelessness for low-income residents of Contra Costa County by providing resources that lead to self-sufficiency.
The Adopt-A-Family is a program created by SHELTER, Inc. to ensure that families
positively experience the holiday season despite their current struggles. Families sign up with
their case managers to participate in the program that allows other families in the community to "adopt" them for the holidays. SHELTER, Inc. matches donors with appropriate SHELTER, Inc. client families. Donors receive a family profile, gift ideas, name, age, gender, sizes and a few practical gift ideas for each family member. Donors drop off gifts at the main office, wrapped and labeled with family member's names. SHELTER, Inc. also has opportunities for families or groups to cook and serve meals at their family shelter in Martinez. If you are interested in participating in any of their wonderful programs, please contact SHELTER, Inc. at (925) 335-0698 .
Monument Crisis Center
Monument Crisis Center serves low-income families and individuals in Contra Costa County through dynamic service programs focused on providing nutritious food, education, general assistance and referrals. Their Senior Moments program provides seniors with groceries, a healthy lunch, time to socialize, blood pressure screenings and, most importantly, a sense of community. Staff and volunteers carefully coordinate
themed decorations, food and entertainment. Additional program events addresses th e nutritional needs of seniors 55 and older, but also serves as a wellness
check and an opportunity to socialize. Senior Moments slowly grew from a program with only five participants to a now a very popular bi-monthly program with around one hundred participants attending each event. Last year, 384 at-risk seniors received additional food through our Senior Moments program, which averages 120 seniors at each event. Monument Crisis Center is always looking for volunteers throughout the year to help out at Senior Moments which can include packing grocery bags of food for participants to take home, and even donating prizes for their Bingo games!

VESTIA: Volunteer Emergency Services Team in Action Programs
Vestia was established in 1985 as a non-profit devoted to serving individuals and families in Contra Costa County. The mission of the VESTIA corporation is to provide supplemental support to needy individuals and families known to the Contra Costa County Employment and Human Services Department. Vestia has numerous programs designed to enhance the quality of life of Contra Costa residents. All services are provided through client referral by Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) of Contra Costa.
Their programs include:
- Clothing Programs: Provides interview attire, teenage clothing, and clothing for adults and children.
- Project Ready-to-Learn provides backpacks and school supplies to low income children;
- Angel Tree provides holiday gifts to foster youth;

Our office will be volunteering this month to join in the fun of the Holiday Helpers Warehouse! If you are interested in volunteering this holiday season, the Holiday Helpers Warehouse is a wonderful way to support families in our community. The Holiday Helpers Warehouse has been a program of VESTIA in Contra Costa County for the past 25 years. VESTIA anticipates serving over 450 families again this year through this program. VESTIA provides gifts of warm clothing, toys, books and food to families in need throughout Contra Costa County, all through referral from county social workers. Many of the families are in the process of starting their lives over from the recession, building new careers, and establishing financial stability and do not have additional resources to provide gifts and new clothing at the holidays.
The dates for the Holiday Helpers Warehouse 2015 are: Central County (to be held in Pleasant Hill) on December 14th & 15th from 8am to 3pm. West County (to be held in Richmond) on December 17th, from 9am to 3pm. If you, your company or organization would like to donate directly, or volunteer for a two-hour time to act as a "shopper" at the warehouse, please contact Alvaro Florez, Program Manager for HHW at aflorez@ehsd.cccounty.us with "HHW" in the subject line. Donations to support the Holiday Helpers Warehouse include new toys, clothing, blankets, footballs, basketballs, books and gift cards. While all donations are gratefully accepted, they especially need gifts for teens - including sports equipment and clothing, fashion items (watches, beauty kits, etc.), gift cards, and movie tickets. Please feel free to contact our office as well if you have any questions about this program.
Food Bank of Contra Costa County and Solano
It is that time of year again the Annual Counties Care Holiday Food Fight. This is the 12th straight year that employees of Contra Costa and Solano Counties compete to raise funds to help achieve the Food Bank's goal of working to end hunger. Although it is important that we do all we can to help those in need throughout the year, the spirit of the holiday season inspires us to do even more. I would like to thank all of the
county employees for their contribution to this incredible fundraiser on top of the work they do each day to improve the lives of Contra Costa residents. I also encourage all Contra Costa residents to lend a helping hand by supporting the Food Bank. With your help, I am confident that we will truly make a difference to those in need in our community.
Quick Facts:
* Every dollar donated provides the equivalent of two healthy meals
* Over 96,000 Contra Costa residents are served each month
* About 1/3 of the food distributed is fresh produce
* One out of every four people receiving emergency food are children
* 95 cents out of every dollar donated goes directly to food programs
Trinity Center
Trinity Center is a non-residential program serving homeless and working poor adult men and women in Central Contra Costa County. In Contra Costa County it is estimated that 3,715 people will be homeless for some period of time in the next year. There are many ways to help Trinity Center support the homeless in our community
throughout the year. They are currently looking for families or groups that are interested in purchasing food and packing sack lunches for their clients to take with them on Christmas and New Years, so that they have a nice meal to enjoy that day. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact them at (925) 949-8712 or email

When we take the time to make others' days a bit happier, we find that we're giving ourselves the gift of happiness too. I wish you all a season of joy and giving. Thank you in advance for your contributions to our community.

Housing Authority Offers Reading Programs
In February of this year, Housing Authority staff attended a seminar that touched on literacy in low-income communities. They learned of the startling statistics about children living in low-income communities, who on average, hear 30 million less words then those living in middle-income communities. Additionally, the ratio of books for each child in a middle-income community is 13 books per child, compared to low-income communities that stand at 1 book per 300 children. Shocked by these
numbers, the Housing Authority wanted to step up and get involved by helping to improve the literacy rates in hosing communities throughout the County.
The Housing Authority established a collaboration with Grace Worship Center in Pittsburg, Reading Advantage in Brentwood and the County Library two mini libraries have been opened at public housing developments in Pittsburg and Bay Point. The County Library is also providing programming in these communities such as story time and other activities. What makes these programs exceptional is that each student leaves with three books in their hand to build their own library at home. This summer alone, the project has distributed over 500 books! I, personally, love the fact that these children are getting books to build their own home library. I applaud the leadership of the Housing Authority for taking action and making a difference in the lives of these children and their families.
If you'd like to donate to this program, please contact Reading Advantage in Brentwood. They can be found online at
www.reading-advantage.org
or by telephone by (925) 550-6021.

Contra Costa's Medical Response to the Valley Fire
At the November 10Board of Supervisors meeting, we received a report from Pat Frost, the County's Emergency Medical Services Director, about how Contra Costa County's Disaster Medical Mutual Aide played a role in the response to the Valley Fire and aftermath.
The Valley Fire began and spread very quickly. Immediately, more than 1,000 residents were evacuated and housed at the Napa County Fairgrounds in Calistoga. Leaving with their families and pets, many were unable to grab additional clothing or belongings. As a result, many were unable to bring medications for their serious or chronic illnesses.
Upon receiving a call for assistance on September 14, Contra Costa County was one of the first counties to be on site within hours, bringing multiple resources and over 40 nurses, physicians, mental health professionals, pharmacists and medical personnel. EMS' ability to work with other surrounding teams to host clinics and offer resources kept people out of the area hospitals that were already impacted by the fires.
While the area hit by the Valley Fire continues to rebuild, we can be proud of our County's response to help our neighboring county. Should the need arise again in other counties or here in Contra Costa County, it's reassuring to know that the EMS Department will rise to the occasion.

2015 Innovations Conference
The 2015 Innovations Conference was held on November 5th at the Pleasant Hill Community Center and addressed best practices and innovations in interpersonal violence response. The conference welcomed an array of community members including faith-leaders and public health nurses, interested in new approaches to addressing violence in our communities. The conference began with a panel that was informative and covered emerging concepts such as the engagement of informal support networks and importance of cultural context. In the afternoon, participants were invited to attend workshops on issues such as "social media advocacy" and "working with faith communities". This conference serves as an important opportunity for further education and collaboration amongst the many organizations in Contra Costa County working to end interpersonal violence.
The Innovations conference is a collaborative project of the Contra Costa Zero Tolerance for Domestic Violence initiative and the Family Justice Center. Both organizations are a point of pride for the county, and I am grateful for their commitment to the engagement of our local stakeholders.

District IV Celebrates Local Veterans
On November 10th, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors held its annual Veterans Day Ceremony. It was an informative and touching event, organized by the
Veteran Service Office. The keynote speaker, Steve Burchik, was a Vietnam Veteran who shared his experiences as a solider and highlighted he importance role veteran organizations play for returning service men and women. Photographs taken by Mr. Burchik in Vietnam are currently on display outside of the Board of Supervisors Chamber. The ceremony also included a special recognition of Richard O'Connor, a purple heart recipient and musician who plays the National Anthem and other songs at numerous Veteran events in the County.
Our office continued the celebration the following day with Veterans Day ceremonies throughout the district. I attended the Walnut Creek Veterans
Event at the Lesher Center with my colleague Supervisor Candace Anderson.
My staff attended a Veterans' Day event at Willow Pass Community Park in Concord sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1525 and its Auxiliary, and the Korean War Veterans Association Chapter 264. The event included music by Ladies First, a 40-voice, a cappella chorus from Concord High School. Following the ceremony, the third annual Veterans Day Invitational Softball Tournament, organized by the Concord Vet Center and Contra Costa County Veterans Service Office, took place at the Willow Pass Softball Fields. My staff member Lindy Lavender participated in the softball tournament. It was a great way to spend the day!
Thank you to all of our Veterans in Contra Costa County and beyond.

| New Animal Services Director, Beth Ward |
|
The Board of Supervisors recently selected Beth Ward as the new director of the County's Animal Services Department. Ward brings a wealth of experience in animal service and welfare, having served as the vice president of the Silicon Valley Humane Society, and previously as the Director of Animal Care for the Peninsula Humane Society. Ward plans to
 place an increased emphasis on lifesaving, with a goal of significantly reducing the number of euthanized animals, animal surrenders, and increasing the department's live release rates.
"Everywhere I have worked my main focus has been working with individual animals, saving lives and collaborating with people to make that happen," Ward said. "I think the rescue groups in this county and the staff at animal services are all going to be on the same page, and share the same goal of trying to save more lives in Contra Costa County than ever before."
The department operates two shelters, in Martinez and Pinole, where they provide high-quality animal care services, shelter homeless, abandoned and lost animals, place animals in safe, caring homes, and provide education and services to enhance the lives of people and their animal companions. Additionally, the department's Field Services Division plays a crucial role in protecting the health and safety of all people and animals in our community through enforcement of state and laws, protecting the public from animal injury and working to prevent animal cruelty, abuse and neglect.

Contra Costa County Introduces
 New Food Grading System
Early next year, diners in Contra Costa County will get a new tool to learn how clean a restaurant is through a county-issued color-coded grading system rating the establishment's food safety practices.
The Contra Costa County Environmental Health Division has been working
hard to put together a new food grading system. After researching how
a food g
rading system works and how it i
s being implemented i
n other jurisdictions and working with local restaurateurs to design the system, early next year Environmental Health staff plans to
recommend to the Board of Supervisors the implementation of
a col
or-coded food grading system. Under this new system, food operators will be
required to display the color-coded grade in a prominent
location
inside their establishment. The grade essentially rates food safety practices on a color-coded scale, as
opposed to the letter system used in some locations. Ratings will be assigned to all of the county's roughly 4,000 food establishments, including restaurants, food
trucks, cafeterias, and other food vendors.
The new grading system will consist of three colored flier- Green, Yellow, Red, issued after the regular food safety inspection by the health inspector.
- Green: indicates no or one major violation offood safety. The major violation has to be corrected while the inspector is there.
- Yellow: means two or more major violations of food safety. Major violations have to be corrected while inspector is there.
- Red: An imminent health hazard (a major violation that can not be corrected while the inspector is there) results in a closure. An imminent health hazard includes sewage back-up, rat or cockroach or vermin infestation, no hot water, no electricity.
Environmental Health has food-safety specialists that annually inspect everything from sit-down restaurants and delis to convenience stores and mobile food trucks ensuring the preparation and handling of food is done in a safe and sanitary way. They are responsible for ensuring that all food establishments are operated in compliance with applicable local, State and Federal regulations. This new grading system will provide consumers increased confidence about the establishments they choose to patronize. It will also hold restaurateurs accountable for complying with food safety practices and hopefully in turn reduce the number of violations issued by health inspectors.
We are excited to have this food safety system be implemented in our county as it provides a more efficient way to communicate to the public the food safety status of the facility. This system will also assist in preventing the risk and spread of food-borne illness.
For more information contact Dominic Aliano at (925) 521-7100.

Kops for Kids, 20 Years of Making a Difference
Last month, I was honored to speak at the 20th Anniversary Celebration of Kops for Kids. Contra Costa Kops for Kids is a group of active and retired police officers and firefighters who work to help prevent violence, drug abuse, gangs, and juvenile delinquency in Contra Costa County by reaching out to at-risk youth. Kops for Kids is the brainchild of Neil Stratton, retired Captain from the Walnut Creek Police Department. Neil, one of the founders, had the idea to use the $50,000 left over from the proceeds of the 1998 Police Games to start an organization to help at-risk youth in our county.
Kops for Kids provides Positive Mental Attitudes (PMA) Seminars to youth in Contra Costa Schools, which are designed to be a source of inspiration for youth. They offer examples of individuals who have come up through difficult circumstances and gone on to be successful in life. During the 2014-15 school year, Kops for Kids reached 6,303 youth with the PMA program.
Kops for Kids also distributes grants to active and retired officers who work directly with at-risk youth. Last year, Kops for Kids awarded $13,638 in mentoring grants. Programs included youth academies in Pinole and Danville, a Foot Pursuit Running Club at Pittsburg High School where Officers Heidi Maguire and Arturo
Fernandez provide a program at no charge to high school youth, support for disabled athletes through BORP, Special Olympics support, a track and field program at no charge to residents of Pittsburg with Olympian Athlete Eddie Hart, sports gear for Martinez Vicente High School and Joe Ovick School, and support for BART police explorers.
Thank you for letting me be a part of your celebration, Kops for Kids!

Clayton Morgan Territory Fire Safe Plan
In a previous newsletter we wrote a story on the Diablo Fire Safe Council's (DFSC) efforts to develop an Action Plan as a section of the Contra Costa County Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) focusing specifically on the Clayton Morgan Territory area, called the Clayton Morgan Territory Fire Safe Action Plan 2015. The action planning process is well underway and has brought together several interested local government staff and various stakeholders, as well as other interested groups and residents.
Our office has been engaged in the planning process and wanted to update the community on the progress made to date. With the information gathered from previous meetings, the attendees and the Diablo Fire Safe Council are currently narrowing the focus for their long-term and short-term plan. The group has formed ideas for projects within the area and we have not finished deciding which ideas we should focus on. The project ideas we are discussing include:
- Collaborating with partners within the Clayton/Morgan Territory
- Reducing risk of ignitions
- Publicizing fire weather
- Community at risk hazards
- Defensible space
- Structure survivability
- How best to help new and infill development
- Fuel management on public and large scale private lands
- Protecting facilities and infrastructure
- Local preparedness and firefighter capability
See the map of the Clayton Morgan Territory Fire Safe Plan
The Diablo Fire Safe Council's (DFSC) role in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties is to serve as a catalyst for bringing together people, agencies and the means to substantially reduce the impact of wildland fire on our communities.
The DFSC recently
received a grant from the CAL FIRE SRA Fire Prevention Fund to provide $
170,680
cost share funding for community hazardous fuel reduction and chipping projects, as well as fire road maintenance. This grant allows DFSC to partner with local fire agencies and community members to identify and fund projects that meet the funding criteria to make the
Clayton Morgan Territory area more fire safe.
Neighbors can engage in a cost-share funding of up to $5,000 dollars per project that allows people to hire a contractor to implement projects intended to reduce fuel loads and create a defensible space around your home. Cost share funds need to be matched dollar for dollar with cash contributions or sweat equity.
The DCSC and our office encourages you to participate and get involved in the Action Planning process and to share your thoughts and ideas on potential projects eligible for grant funding. Your input is valuable to the process and in bringing dollars into the community and towards local fire safe projects!

Cheryl Miller, Executive Coordinator.

Community Violence Solutions Fundraiser
It is important for our communities to have organizations
like Community Violence Solutions because they help victims of sexual
assault find a friendly avenue to support and comfort. Community Violence Solutions (CVS) is a California
nonprofit that provides supportive services to children, adults, and their families who are victims of sexual assault or family violence in Contra Costa and Marin Counties.
The services they provide include: a rape crisis center, a sexual assault response team, a children's interview center, prevention
services, and the Anti-Human Trafficking program.
Since CVS's beginning in 1974, it has developed strong collaborations with law enforcement, Office of the District Attorney, hospitals, therapists, social services providers, and school districts to increase safety in Contra Costa and Marin Counties. The Contra Costa County District Attorneys' Association (CCCDAA) hosted this year's 4th Annual Community Violence Solution Fundraiser and I had the honor and privilege of not only attending, but also speaking. Given the opportunity to speak, I was able to let everyone know first hand how important this organization is to the County, not only in the District Attorney office, but the County as a whole. I also spoke about the County's commitment to victim's rights and how the County and CVS strive to help victims get their
life back. It was an amazing fundraiser and a special thanks to everyone who donated to CVS, the Contra Costa County District Attorney's Association (CCCDAA), and
Paul Graves, who is the President of the CCCD AA.
I was also able to meet Joann III, "JoJo," who is a Labrador
Retriever and a Courthouse Dog. Courthouse Dog is a nonprofit organization that str
ives to promote justice with compassion through the use of professionally trained dogs. JoJo is the first Co
urthouse Dog in Contra Costa County and was chosen by Canine Companions for Independence, which is a nonprofit organization that provides highly trained dogs. She brings a caring and supportive presence to traumatized children and adults as they go through the criminal justice process. JoJo will accompany them to court, be a companion through forensic interview, or just sit by their side to lessen anxiety.

The City of Clayton gave a warm welcome to its new Police Chief, Chris Wenzel, at the November 3rd City Council meeting. The Clayton Council swore him in as the new Police Chief while his former colleagues, current Clayton Police officers, and family watched.
Clayton's new Police Chief, Chris Wenzel, was formerly with the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department for twenty-seven years and of those years, Chief Wenzel spent seven on contract as Danville Chief of Police. Chief Wenzel left Danville in 2010 and eventually retired in 2011 at the rank of Commander from the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Department.
On the behalf of Contra Costa County and my office, I would like to congratulate and welcome the new Clayton Police Chief Wenzel.
