First Northern Bank Expands Into Walnut Creek With Commercial Loan Production Office

DIXON, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– First Northern Bank today announced its plans to open a commercial loan production office in Walnut Creek. The new loan office is expected to open in mid-April in the Mt. Diablo Plaza. The address for the Bank’s new loan office will be 2175 N. California Blvd, Suite 310, Walnut Creek, California 94596.

“Expanding into Contra Costa County is a natural progression for our bank, as it is contiguous to Solano County,” explained Louise A. Walker, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The East Bay Area has experienced a quicker rebound from the recession compared to the greater Sacramento region, and we believe it is a good time to expand the Bank’s brand and grow our footprint into Contra Costa County.”

The Walnut Creek Commercial Lending Office will be staffed by a team of commercial lending experts from the greater East Bay area. Carlos Chavez is Senior Vice President/East Bay Region Commercial Loan Team Manager; Lorraine M. Sue is Vice President/Commercial Lending Officer; Margaret Lowell is Vice President/Commercial Lending Officer; and Gloria Rocha is Assistant Vice President/Credit Analyst. “They are a welcome addition to the First Northern Bank family. They bring a wealth of knowledge and a depth of experience with a combined total of over 75 years in the banking industry. We are extremely excited to have a team of this caliber onboard,” Walker added. The new loan office will originate, process, underwrite and fund a full range of lines of credit, equipment loans and leases, owner and investor commercial real estate loans, construction loans, Commercial & Industrial loans, SBA 504 and 7A loans, letters of credit, and business acquisition loans for small to medium sized businesses throughout Contra Costa County.

An Open Letter To Sheriff Joe Arpaio

By Brian Reilly

Dear Sheriff Arpaio:
In a recent interview with Mike Broomhead on KFYI 550 AM in Phoenix, Arizona, when asked about a possible firearm confiscation law coming from the Obama Administration, you stated: “I may not enforce that federal law.”  Unfortunately, the word “may” puts us in the ambiguous realm of “you may or may not” enforce a federal firearm confiscation law.  That, coupled with your comment that you would be purchasing semi-automatic and fully automatic weapons for your department, gives one additional pause for concern as to how these weapons are going to be used.  Yes, you said they would be used against the “bad guys.” But one has to wonder: who will you consider to be the “bad guys” in an Obama federal gun confiscation scheme?
You said that you have taken an oath numerous times to support and defend the U.S. Constitution.  I believe that you have a true love for the U.S. Constitution and for the God given freedoms that it recognizes and guarantees.  I do believe that the citizens of Maricopa County deserve a more definitive answer as to where you and your office stand regarding a potential federal firearm confiscation order from the Obama Administration.  Without equivocation, will you enforce or ignore a federal firearm confiscation law by the Obama Administration?
I have included an incomplete list of county sheriffs who have, without equivocation, stated that they will abide by their oaths to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic and will support the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights. They will not participate in any federal gun confiscation scheme.  As the Toughest Sheriff in America, I believe that your name and your office should be at the top of the list of sheriffs who will honor their oaths to defend the people’s Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
I would encourage you to clear up this ambiguity at your earliest convenience in an M.C.S.O. Press Release.  The citizens of Maricopa County have a right to know exactly where you stand on this issue.
Respectfully,
Brian Reilly

California hunter loses leg after accidentally shooting self as black bear charged

A California hunter lost his leg after accidentally shooting himself Saturday when a black bear charged at him, Fox40.com reported.

The hunter was not identified, but the station reported that he was hunting with a group of friends in El Dorado County. The group was hunting for black bears.

They spotted one and chased it into a tree. After one man discharged a round, the bear charged at another, who responded by grabbing his .44-caliber handgun. He misfired and shot his own leg. Another hunter was able to fatally shoot the bear.

A medical helicopter flew the injured man to Sutter Roseville Medical Center in Roseville, Calif., which is just outside Sacramento. Doctors tried to save his leg, but were forced to amputate it from the knee down.

The injured man spoke with Fox40 at his bedside on Tuesday. He said he wanted to put this accident behind him, and that he is grateful for the love and support from his family.
