PIONEER A half-dozen men illegally operating as contractors were cited during an undercover sting operation conducted Tuesday in Pioneer by the Contractors State License Board with assistance from Amador County District Attorney investigators and the California Department of Insurance.

During the eight-hour sting, officers held one suspect at gunpoint after he refused to cooperate, ran from investigators, locked himself in his vehicle and made threatening movements. Another suspect was found to be on probation for making terrorists threats, while still another suspect was found to have prior criminal history as a sex offender. Two suspects had been arrested in previous CSLB stings.

Inviting an unlicensed contractor into your home is like playing with a stick of dynamite, definitely not worth the risk, CSLB Registrar Steve Sands said.

You always should check CSLBs website (at cslb.ca.gov or call (800) 321-2757) to see if the person bidding on your job has an active contractor license that is in good standing, Sands said.

CSLBs Statewide Investigative Fraud Team, or SWIFT, held the sting operation at a single-family home in the Gold Country town of Pioneer, along Highway 88. Investigators requested bids for deck repair, landscaping and exterior painting. High bids received during the sting were $6,000 for deck repair and a $4,200 bid for exterior paint. Suspected unlicensed operators were found advertising on fliers, newspapers and online bulletin boards, including craigslist.org.

All six suspects received misdemeanor citations for contracting without a license. Four suspects were cited on a misdemeanor charge of illegal advertising. Those receiving notices to appear are scheduled for arraignment at 8 a.m. April 7 in Amador County Superior Court, 500 Argonaut Lane, Jackson. They are Don A. Sternick of Sutter Creek, Armand Leo Chournard of West Point, Gary Jack Shroyer of Pioneer, Michael Joseph Vasquez of Jamestown, Matthew Brian Ramos of Jamestown and Robert Darin Kintigh of Cool.

ST. PETERSBURG --

A Shore Acres man says a clean-up project in his neighborhood is doing more harm than a good.

For the second day in a row, Kelly Andersen said hes spotted workers sandblasting paint from pipes along the 40th Avenue NE bridge and most of that paint, he said, has landed right in the water.

He even showed Bay News 9 pictures of Placido Bayou filled with paint chips from the construction project.

Contractors have been repainting the water pipes along the bridge for the last few months.

For some, the blue and pink colors may be pretty to look at but for Andersen, hes more concerned about the environmental impact.

Andersen grew up in St. Petersburg and loves anything outdoors.

One look outside his house and you can tell, he loves everything about the water, especially after having moved away for 20 years.

"St. Petersburg was home, Andersen said. The fishing just brought me back. Couldn't resist."

He loves watching the manatees, the pods of dolphins, and the fish but now more than ever hes concerned about them and their homes.
