Today's riddle: Do you know what the two sides of a circle are? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. 'My actions were the ultimate hypocrisy': Danville financial adviser gets 9-year prison term for decades-long Ponzi scheme (pleasantonweekly.com) — A longtime Danville financial adviser has been sentenced to nine years in federal prison for a Ponzi scheme that siphoned more than $9.5 million from nearly 100 investors, including local residents. The case traces decades of complaints, lawsuits, and regulatory actions tied to his Danville-based operations, with multiple civil suits still unfolding that could affect current and former area clients' finances and retirement plans.
2. Downtown Street Closures Planned From San Ramon Valley High School Homecoming Parade (patch.com) — Downtown Danville streets around San Ramon Valley High School will briefly close Friday afternoon for the school's Homecoming Parade, affecting Danville Boulevard, Hartz Avenue, West Prospect Avenue, and Railroad Avenue. From 2:50 to 3:30 p.m., rolling closures will support student floats and performances, so drivers and pedestrians should plan for short delays and use extra caution along the route.
3. Pleasanton Teen Suspected In 25 Business Burglaries Arrested (patch.com) — Recent business burglary sprees in Pleasanton have prompted police to note similar incidents reported in nearby Danville and San Ramon, suggesting a broader regional pattern residents should watch. A 19-year-old Pleasanton man was arrested after a multi-agency investigation, and officers are still searching for three additional suspects connected to the Pleasanton break-ins.
4. Oklahoma earns commitment from 2028 dual-sport WR/CF Colton Fitzgibbon (usatoday.com) — A standout San Ramon Valley High School athlete from Danville has committed to play both football and baseball at the University of Oklahoma, drawing national attention to local talent. Wide receiver and centerfielder Colton Fitzgibbon, a speedy 2028 prospect, chose Oklahoma over offers from several Pac-12 programs after a strong sophomore season and impressive baseball rankings.
