Coach fined, must work on anger
Youth soccer coach Mauricio Alvarez must pay $115 restitution to the referee he attacked in November, an Alameda County Superior Court Judge ruled last week.
The amount represents the uninsured medical expenses of the referee, Bruce Greenlee, and will be paid through the county's central collections office.
Alvarez pleaded no contest in July to two misdemeanor battery counts and was sentenced to 30 days' service with a sheriff's work detail and a $120 fine. Judge Carol Brosnahan suspended the balance of the two-year maximum sentence Alvarez could have gotten and put him on court probation for three years.
Alvarez must also attend 32 anger-management classes and a refereeing course, Brosnahan ruled. He is due back in court in September to submit a progress report.
Alvarez, a former Berkeley resident, was accused of punching and kicking Greenlee in a dispute over player credentials during a Nov. 20 match in Albany's Memorial Park. The alleged attack occurred during halftime at an Alameda-Contra Costa Youth Soccer League end-of-season tournament match of 8- and 9-year-olds.

Friends of the Peace Corps 170,000 strong
170,000 is a very special number for the RPCV community - it's the number of Volunteers who have served in the Peace Corps since 1961. It's also a number that is very special to us because March is the first month since our founding in January, 2001 that our readership has exceeded 170,000. And while we know that not everyone who comes to this site is an RPCV, they are all "Friends of the Peace Corps." Thanks everybody for making PCOL your source of news for the Returned Volunteer community.
