Five arrested in Antioch shooting Antioch police announced Monday that five subjects believed to be gang members or connect ed to gangs have been arrested for involvement in a fatal shooting on March 31. According to an Antioch Police Department press release, Antioch residents Giovanni Lopez, 26; Juan Peter Herrera, 22; Pittsburg resident Raymond Wehr, 22; plus a 17-year-old boy from Antioch and a 17-year-old boy from Pittsburg were taken into custody. The release states that the five were involved in a shooting at Cruiser’s Saloon that resulted in the death of Antioch resident Lizandro Tony Bertolazzi, an innocent bystander.
The case has yet to be presented to the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office, and those arrested are being held on probation or parole holds. According to the police report, a group of men expelled from Cruiser’s Saloon on A Street returned after midnight wielding baseball bats with the intent to start a fight. One of the men pulled out a handgun and fired at least one shot inside the bar, hitting Bertolazzi. In order to protect the integrity of the investigation, the department is not identifying who is suspected of firing the shot that killed Bertolazzi.

that stuck out – but it also got me involved in high school drama and plays.” Dressed up in a suit and fedora, Curtis shared the stage with big-ticket performers such as Smokey Robinson and Stevie Wonder, who was also a young man at the time. Curtis didn’t get to interact much with Clark, but described him as a warm presence who didn’t act like he was the star of the show. “He was a very nice guy, very unassuming,” Curtis said. “He wasn’t pretentious. He made you feel at home, as a little kid. You felt like you were important to the show.” Curtis treats his time on Bandstand like it was no big deal, just a part of his childhood, but many of his students at Joseph A. Ovick School in Brentwood are shocked to learn of their teacher’s past. From time to time, he’ll show video of “American Bandstand,” and students express surprise that their mountain man of
Budget from page 1A as utilities, are projected to rise. If there are no changes, the $2.4 million in deficit spending will grow to about $4.8 million in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2013, depleting the city’s reserves and leaving it about $300,000 in the red. “We have reached a level of stability in the last 24 months, but don’t take it as a false sense that we’re out of the woods,” City Manager Jim Jakel said during Tuesday’s City Council meeting. “Together, we’ll be able to do it, but it’s a daunting task.” The crux of Antioch’s problem is lack of revenue. The city of about 102,000 received roughly $34 million in the current fiscal year, largely from property and sales taxes. Jakel said this kind of revenue stream is about the same as Brentwood’s, a city half Antioch’s size. City officials have repeatedly insisted that there’s nowhere else to cut costs. Antioch is authorized to staff 401.75 full- and part-time positions. Right now, the city is dealing with 157 vacancies. Antioch’s police department – which represents the biggest personnel cost – has 61 vacant positions, including all 20 community-service officers and 27 patrol officers. Police funding from outside of Antioch’s general fund has dropped from $3 million in fiscal year 2009-10 to a proposed $2.1 million
a teacher danced for a nationwide audience. While his youthful involvement in dance led him to participate in plays as a high school student, he largely stopped learning about the art of dancing after that. Curtis joined the military after high school, and throughout his life, saved his skills for weddings and social events. Through his studio, and Bandstand, Curtis learned not only some of the most popular dance moves in America, but styles of dance from around the world. He said he can still cut a rug at weddings, even if his hips aren’t what they used to be. Curtis remains humble about his appearances on Bandstand and connection with the recently deceased Clark, who became an international star. “You don’t think about it, 50 years ago, that it would become that big and that (Clark) would become that big,” Curtis said. “To me, it’s just a little spot in my life.” To comment, visit www.thepress.net. in 2012-13. While City Councilman Gary Agopian applauded city staff’s efforts to keep costs low, he called for some kind of action to brainstorm revenue sources. He asked his peers on the dais to create a blue-ribbon committee to tackle ways Antioch can gain more cash. “What we have to do strategically is develop the type of city that will foster economic development, improve our tax values, improve our home values and improve city services,” Agopian said. “But that isn’t going to happen overnight.” Jakel said the city could likely be better funded if sales tax projections continue to climb. It might also receive some money from GenOn Energy, whose plant east of Antioch could soon become part of the city if annexation goes through. Jakel said the city also plans to work closely with its biggest moneymaker – auto sales – to ensure that the Antioch Auto Center and the city’s numerous used car lots plus automotive-related businesses have the resources they need. Merchant said sales tax revenue could recover to pre-recession levels by 2016, but the property taxes aren’t as easy to predict. Antioch plans to hold two more budget study sessions before adopting a ledger in June. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.
