About Tim Hogan: I knew Tim via the Greenery Walnut Creek where I used to sing Karaoke - I've been banned from that restaurant 

Officials Find Body of Man Swept Away in Walnut Creek Canal Created by Kimberlee Sakamoto on 4/15/2010 12:07:00 PM CONCORD (BCN) -- The Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office found the body of  79-year-old James Hogan Wednesday evening in the creek east of Buchanan Field  Airport in Concord, sheriff's spokesman Jimmy Lee said Thursday. Hogan was in a car in the city of Walnut Creek on Sunday evening  with his wife Janet Hogan, 75, and their son Tim Hogan, 40, when their 2000  Honda Accord crashed near Mount Diablo Boulevard and San Miguel Drive and  plunged into the rain-swollen creek, police said. Tim Hogan, a San Diego resident, was trapped inside the car and  died at the scene, police said. Janet and James Hogan, both Walnut Creek residents, were able to  escape, but were quickly swept away in the current. A California Highway Patrol helicopter was able to lower a rescue  swimmer from the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District into the water  and pull Janet Hogan to safety. James Hogan, however, disappeared after being seen floating face  down in the water near Bancroft Road. The sheriff's office conducted an extensive search Monday with  more than 50 members of its search-and-rescue team, K-9 units, helicopters  and boats. Crews scoured the 11.3-mile length of Walnut Creek between  Bancroft Road and the Sacramento San Joaquin-Delta, but found no sign of  James Hogan's body. The ground search was called off Monday evening. On Tuesday, the  sheriff's office searched the area again by helicopter, but again found no  sign of Hogan. During a helicopter search Wednesday, two members of the sheriff's  office dive team aboard the helicopter spotted Hogan's body shortly after 6  p.m. An autopsy today confirmed that he drowned. James Hogan had volunteered with the sheriff's department for  almost 16 years at the Alamo station, where he coordinated other volunteers,  Lee said.

2 Walnut Creek teens drowned in treacherous stream

The Powell Family Tragedy 
The father of Gavin suffered a stroke while working for Longs, he's got long term stroke issues and I travel up to his place.  As a project manager for Longs when the big outsourcing machines from Accenture and Protivity tried to get a foot hold Jim ended their contracts.

The business targeting model if you can't take down (kill) the obstacle, then take out the collateral target.
per Jim he's never had a completed police report.  I know how these agencies operate as I've used my IT skills to break their business processes in little segments.
The really strange part is Lt. Hill's comments that he has a son at Los Lomas.

Walnut Creek Police Lt. Jay Hill

 

Along the way I wrote the FBI when Hill pulled his little stunt over in front of Peet's Coffee.  Then I read about Hill being the hero first responder up on Skycrest where of all things Alice Roberts Attorney David Nearon appeared with a revised power of attorney.

Attorney Nearon baptized my ex-wife at Alamo 1st Ward, her father died in the house, i never trusted the story, David knows Nate Greenan (deceased), Nate would know Ernie Scherer Jr. (Murdered by Ernie Scherer III) who would know his father James Greenan, they all know Joan Buchanan, Federal Glover, Eric Nunn, Mark DeSaulnier, Gavin Newsome, and Richard Rainey whose nephew Michael McNutly is deceased.

In my old Cameo Neighborhood I've nicknamed it Burnville - as 1,000 feet in each direction, one suicide in a car, four total losses and one dad me whose truck blew up on 680 and can't find a police report.  I'm betting that CHP officer B. Johnson who appeared in late 2012 at Starbucks Duncan is Mormon - just a hunch as his family could be another Mormon I know.
  

A brash attempt by two urban teens to raft an urban stream probably turned quickly into a harrowing plunge through a concrete chute, with 20-foot vertical walls on both sides, churning with rainwater, branches, rocks and trash.
The channel where Matthew Miller, 16, andGavin Powell, 17, of Walnut Creek drowned Saturday may have only been a few feet deep, but its appearance was deceiving. And, officials say, channels like this one can be found all over the Bay Area.
"It looks totally innocent," said Mitch Avalon, deputy director of the Public Works Department of Contra Costa County. "But when it's full (of water) you can't get out once you're in it."
About 100 feet from where the boys entered the water with their two-person inflatable raft was a chute with 20-foot-high walls and no way out. The frigid waters moved swiftly and they were soon pulled underground into a three-quarter-mile-long tunnel beneath downtown Walnut Creek. A few miles downstream, they tumbled two stories into a deep pool designed to slow raging storm runoff.

The boys' bodies were recovered Sunday in Concord, several miles downstream of the pool. Their deflated raft was found upstream, in Walnut Creek, at the waterfall.
Common urban feature
Flood control channels - some visible, some not - are common in cities where a central river or stream has the potential to overrun its banks. But these mundane canals are extremely treacherous when swollen with heavy rains, experts say, because they function to funnel water as quickly as possible from urban areas into larger bodies of water.
The San Ramon bypass the teens tried to navigate was built in the late 1980s to channel storm water from Walnut Creek's parking lots, streets and sidewalks. Downstream, the bypass connects with the namesake Walnut Creek waterway before emptying into Suisun Bay to the north.
During parched summer months, the channel flow shrivels to a trickle. But last week's soaking storms produced a coursing ribbon of water - a vision that proved too enticing for two teens described as funny, smart, outgoing and adventurous.
Amid Saturday's soggy weather, the two juniors from Las Lomas High School donned helmets and launched their blue-and-yellow raft on Sans Crainte Creek in a residential area near Murwood Elementary School and Vanderslice Avenue, authorities said. They did not wear life vests.
Sans Crainte Creek and other upstream brooks that cut through private land are protected only by trees, brush, backyards, open spaces and roads. In some spots, dirt paths wind down to the water.

Just downstream, however, the bracken-covered banks give way to the sheer cement walls of the San Ramon bypass. Beyond the walls and up on the banks, the channel is surrounded by fences adorned with "No Trespassing" signs.

On Tuesday, officials with the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, which owns and manages the San Ramon bypass, examined the site where Matthew and Gavin embarked to evaluate whether additional fencing or warnings are necessary or feasible - particularly on private property, Avalon said. They are expecting to present a report to the county Board of Supervisors next week.

At least one of the teenagers' classmates said the current warnings and barriers aren't enough.
"The signs say 'No trespassing,' but they should probably communicate the danger ... that there are serious consequences, that people have died," said William Hansel, a Las Lomas senior who ran on the cross-country team with Miller.

Investigators with the Contra Costa Sheriff's Department and Walnut Creek Police Department are uncertain how far the boys traveled aboard their raft. But the deflated raft was found several miles to the north at the 20-foot man-made waterfall near Bancroft Road and Bentley Street at 8:30 a.m. Sunday.
The bodies of Matthew and Gavin were recovered in the waterway near Buchanan Field in Concord. They were reported missing by their families shortly after midnight Sunday after friends said they missed a prearranged pickup appointment Saturday evening.
The tragedy, which many classmates marked Tuesday by wearing bright yellow - Matthew and Gavin often wore yellow bike gear - and leaving flowers and cards at spots along the creek, isn't the first for that stretch of waterway.
In April, a 75-year-old Walnut Creek woman was pulled from the channel in a dramatic helicopter rescue after the car driven by her son crashed through two fences and landed upside down in the rushing water. Janet Hogan survived; but her son, 40-year-old Timothy Hogan, and husband, 79-year-old James Hogan, died.
Other teen drownings
Three other teens who ventured into the creek drowned in two separate instances in the early 1990s and early 1970s, Avalon said.
Granted, many more children and adults may have braved the creeks waters over the years and come away unscathed - they simply haven't come to the attention of authorities, said sheriff's Lt. Eric Navarro, who announced the finding of the boys' bodies Sunday.
"All of us have done things in our lives that you look back on and think, I got away with one," Navarro said.

Meningitis as Murder Weapon - The Statistical Anomaly of Bacterial Cases Near Me

By PETE BENNETT - Contra Costa Watch EMAIL

Posted: 01/14/2014
Discovery Date: 
Incident Date Range: From ----- to ------ 

Walnut Creek CA:  They say at the end of they day statistics prove out the facts.  I'm taking a new approach by developing PowerPoint  presentations, videos, and continuing to write with new emphasis on how the political machine has sat back practically waiting for me to be killed.  It's gotten better but I've got bills, debts and my sons live in a shit-shack while my elected politicians cozy up with the Visa Machine.  

You'd be pissed if you have a cop run you off the road and six months later your sons half brother was murdered and you suspect that the Father of the son given up for adoption attempted to kill you via a hit and run but that his relative is the Chief of Police.  

Meningitis as a Murder Weapon

Getting back the Meningitis cases.  The first fatal near me was that of mom like me going through a divorce in Alamo CA.  I remember how the same Alamo 1st members tried to postulating her take that Magic Mormon Baptorama dip at the Great Big Temple in Oakland.  I think these guys carry little Baptorama scorecards on their I-phones (upgraded from paper in 2010).  

When this mom shared her story I'd already been concerned about the Doc's Pharmacy Case in Walnut Creek (2001) connected to many deaths in Contra Costa County with my long-time friend Bob Horowitz who was quoted that he felt "railroaded" by the Pharmacy Board and after you read to the other cases you'll probably wonder if perhaps this was a murder scene all along and by no means does Mr. Horowitz should anyone consider him a suspect.  If anyone is a suspect it's Jamie Sheets but he's dead after committing suicide in Pleasant Hill but few know this he once worked as Pharmacist at 500 South Broadway Walnut Creek which is 500 feet from where my friend Tim Hogan plunged to his death down the same creek/channel where my other friends son and his friend drowned from Los Lomas High School.  

Back the other fatal and near fatal bacterial infections - if anyone even considers this normal I have several Walnut Creek Police officers that will gladly mark you with 5150 Papers.

The Dead Seeno List - The Ultimate Witness Intimidation List

]

s

James Hogan was Search and Rescue on the 2004 Walnut Creek Explosion and the recovery of the bodies of Laci Peterson and unborn child.  His son Tim was a friend via Karaoke. . Low key clubbing.  

I've had enough as this weekend I discovered James Greenan son was Nathaniel Greenan who was killed in Orinda last year.  In another bizarre freeway accident.  Agencies in Contra Costa are not interested in solving certain cases.  

The Dead Seeno List - it's growing as when you see 25 years of fires that in many cases are arson you'll wonder but worse when you see the schools that were hit.  

 The dates are skewed deliberately for reasons I'll reveal later.  Please come after I've completed the database.  They keep taking my computers to thwart my research and running me off the road. I appear at the Walnut Creek City Hall clearly stating events.  I know some officers hands are tied but the ones that nearly pulled guns on me ... well that is too much and it happened with the Paradise Police in May.  I demanded to take my sons per court orders to the doctors - instead I'm met with a gauntlet of blue.  Then another agency tells me my son was in the hospital.  Where does it end Mr. Greenan head of the Contra Costa Bar Association?

Reposted to Protect My Sons 

Date: Spring 2012
Chico CA: In response to yet another tactical motion filed in Butte County I went to the Safeway on Esplanade to make copies.  Just like all good political movements this slightly pushy petitioner did his job "hey do you want to sign my ..... "  Having done petitioning said I was Walnut Creek and homeless dealing with Butte County Court Motion.  Once I placed the CNET story in my motion was the last time my ex appeared and thanks to this mess  

I made copies then remember I don't know anyone here for "Proof of Service by Mail", so I went back out and asked the petitioner.     

Attack on the process  When he looked at my address on Sierra he immediately told me about his experience where he attacked in front of the Walnut Creek Safeway at 500 S. Broadway Walnut Creek where Walnut Creek Police arrived who said it was just mentally disturbed (5150) person who they just let go home.  

Course Changing Tactics
2013 Resident/Activist Pete Bennett attempts to appear at Public Meeting (12/10/13)

There are more.

WALNUT CREEK, CA (KGO) -- Two million dollars has been spent on the campaign around a November 3 ballot measure that would bring a new Nieman Marcus store to downtown Walnut Creek. The money is coming from two competing mall developers.

With a flurry of phone calls and flyers, the final push is on over Measure I, which would bring a new Nieman Marcus store to Walnut Creek's Broadway Plaza.
The estimated annual tax revenue to the city would be $400,000.
"This sales tax revenue is really, really important to revitalize our local economy," supporter Carole Wynstra said.

But opponents doubt the tax revenue and dispute the measure's claim that it will add 175 new parking spaces.

"The main problem I have is the lack of new parking," opponent Selma King said. "They want to put in mechanical lifts and valet parking and I'm opposed."
Pouring $600,000 into the "No" campaign is Taubman Centers, which had hoped to lure Nieman Marcus to their planned mall in San Ramon.
Macerich, owner of Broadway Plaza, has spent $1.3 million on the "Yes" campaign.
"Nieman Marcus is extremely committed to this community, they have a signed lease with us, a very long term lease and they're ready to come in," Broadway Plaza spokesperson Shelly Dress said.
But Taubman claims Walnut Creek gave unfair advantage to Macerich by waiving longstanding parking requirements.
Taubman's Al Abrams told ABC7 ""We've always strived to have a level playing field. When our interests align with those of local citizens, it makes sense to work together."
"I see that this outside developer has galvanized our community and we're going to use this as a stepping stone to become a stronger community," Walnut Creek Mayor Gary Skrel said.
The original plan for the Nieman Marcus store called for 107,000 square feet of retail space. That has since been scaled down to 92,000.
That is still too big for some people.
"We live here and we have to put up with the problems that occur as a result," opponent Ed Dimmick said.
If voters approve Measure I, Neiman Marcus could open in the spring of 2012.
