Lathrop Cricket Club has been debating on using RED or WHITE balls during tournaments. However, after a friendly game with Lodi Cricket Club last weekend Saturday October 13, 2012; the decision was made easier for the Lathrop cricketers. Lathrop Lions had the opportunity to play with a water proof white ball, which was a wonderful experience. After further enquires, Lodi's cricket club equipment supplier was contacted. Mr Sachin Singh the owner operator of Cricket supplies out of Rancho Cordova California was very courteous and supplied the Lathrop Cricket club with four (4) free samples of white water proof balls. See picture below, $20 Kokabarro balls upper Left concern, light cream BDM lower left corner and two custom league balls that are made to order by Mr. Sachin. By the way League ball was used during the T20 match with Lodi Cricket Club. Hopefully, during our upcoming tournament the club members will get a chance to take these balls for a spin, get it! "SPIN". Enough with the pun, but we really appreciate Mr. Sachin Singh for supplying us with these four samples.
- United StatesSonny Dhaliwal, a city councilman in Lathrop in San Joaquin County in Central California, has announced his candidacy for mayor of that city.
The Stockton-based American Punjabi Chamber of Commerce has endorsed his candidacy, Rex Dhatt, public relations officer of the APCOC, said.
Dhatt in a press release said Dhaliwal is a “solid family man who we value for his integrity." (His) vision for Lathrop’s growth encompasses the greater Stockton region. This makes him an exciting candidate for local business owners.”
Dhaliwal was first elected in 2006 and served as vice mayor from 2006-08. The Indian American was re-elected to the city council in 2010. The father of four children, he and his wife, Ruby, moved to Lathrop in 1996.
The Lathrop City Council recently asked the San Joaquin County grand jury to investigate current Mayor J. “Chaka” Santos, after an outside investigator submitted a report alleging Santos “made inappropriate personal comments” to an unidentified female city employee.
Santos, elected in 2010 to serve a two-year term, is up for reelection this fall. He has called the allegations “politically motivated.”
