November 5, 1953 ~ January 8, 2022
Anthony Rivas passed away peacefully on January 8, 2022 after a long illness. He was 68 years old. He was born November 5, 1953 to parents, Santos and Brijida (Bridget) Rivas in Dinuba. He was third of seven children.
Anthony was raised in Dinuba where he completed Elementary and High School, graduating from Dinuba High School in 1971. Shortly after graduation he served his country by enlisting in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War. Throughout his life, Anthony would often express how proud he was to be a Veteran.
After his time in the service, Anthony returned to Dinuba where he attended Fresno City College. He worked for the I.R.S. for ten years and Gottschalks Dept. Store for several years. He later moved to Hayward, Ca. where he worked for Meyer & Triton as a Motel Manager, managing two of their properties until he retired.
Anthony returned to Dinuba where he devoted his time and energy in caring for the most important person in his life, his mother until she passed away in 2019. Honoring his mother’s passion for education, Anthony established a Memorial Scholarship Fund in her name.
He was a strong willed and independent person who enjoyed a good debate on any subject. He had no problem expressing his opinion good or bad. He loved his family and friends and was always there for those in need.
Anthony was preceded in death by his parents, three brothers Leonard, Michael and Alfred Rivas, two sisters Becky and Rachel Rivas. Anthony is survived by his brother Daniel Rivas, numerous nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews, extended family and many friends.
Anthony is now in a better place with his beloved mother, his brothers and sisters, other family members and friends who have gone before him. He will forever be remembered for his smile, laughter and good heart.
A Graveside service will be held on April 1, 2022 at Smith Mountain Cemetery in Dinuba at 11:00 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Brijida Campos Memorial Scholarship Fund.
Underage drinking enforcement operation from Reedley PD leads to seven arrests
MVT Staff Report
On March 12, officers with the Reedley Police Department conducted an underage drinking enforcement operation in the city limits. The op- eration was designed to create awareness about the dangers of underage drinking and demon- strate the serious conse- quences for adults who buy alcohol for minors.
The Reedley Police Department with assis- tance from the Califor- nia Department of Al- cohol Beverage Control conducted a program called a Decoy Shoulder
Tap Operation. Under the program, a minor under the direct supervision of a peace officer will stand outside a liquor or convenience store and ask patrons to buy them alcohol. The minor indi- cates in some way he or she is underage and can- not purchase the alcohol. If the adults agree and purchase alcohol for the minor, officers then ar- rest and cite them for furnishing alcohol to the minor. The penalty for furnishing alcohol to a minor is a minimum $1,000 fine and 24 hours of community service. The program is intended
to reduce the availability of alcohol to minors.
During the opera- tion approximately 50 patrons were contacted, of which seven agreed to purchase alcohol for the minors. The seven
suspects were arrested and issued citations to appear in court.
This detail was fund- ed by a grant through the California Depart- ment of Alcohol Bever- age Control.
