"content": "\u003cp>Family and friends of nursing student Lydia Sim gathered today for her burial. The 21-year-old was sone of seven people killed in Monday’s shooting rampage at Oikos University. The suspect, One Goh, has been charged with seveb counts of murder, in addition to attempted murder, kidnapping, and carjacking. The victims came from many different counties, but the incident has hit the Korean-American community particularly hard. KQED’s Mina Kim has been speaking with civic and religious leaders and attended a prayer vigil for the victims on Tuesday, and Stephanie Martin interviewed her today. The audio follows the transcript:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Stephanie Martin\u003c/strong>: How has the Korean community been coping? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mina Kim\u003c/strong>: This incident has really rocked the community. It occurred at a school that caters mostly to Korean Americans and recent Korean immigrants, among the dead are 2 Korean American women in their early 20s , and the shooter himself was Korean American. So there’s a lot of shock and grief and confusion. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, there’s some discomfort over how this might impact people’s perception of Korean Americans. This is a community that’s not often in the media. One service provider I spoke with actually used the word ‘invisibile’ to describe Korean Americans. So when the two biggest stories involving Korean Americans have been deadly campus shootings — the Virginia Tech massacre and now this Oikos University shooting — there’s definitely a concern that people will think these are problems inherent among Korean Americans. One of the faith leaders I spoke with said that was in part why they decided to have Tuesday’s prayer vigil at Allen Temple Baptist Church, which is predominantly an African-American church. They wanted to remind people that all communities are impacted when a massacre of this magnitude takes place. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Stephanie Martin\u003c/strong>: I understand that some in the Korean-American community are hoping this incident will help address the stigma against mental health issues…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mina Kim\u003c/strong>: It’s been well-documented that seeking mental health services can be pretty taboo among Asian Americans, and in the Korean-American community in particular. Often that can mean trauma or other mental health issues will go untreated. I spoke with one mourner at the vigil, Justin Hong, who said he felt this is a chance for the community to speak up and reach out to people who might be troubled. “As a culture that experiences shame very strongly, it’s important for people to know that it’s okay, everyone struggles,” Hong said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Stephanie Martin\u003c/strong>: Some details have emerged about the alleged killer suggesting there were signs he needed mental health support. What do we know about that? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mina Kim\u003c/strong>: He was reportedly very self conscious of his limited English speaking skills, that he had significant debts, and that he had recently lost a sibling and his mother. At the same time, students and administrators reportedly described him as being a loner, having anger management issues. So there were signs out there that can cause people to ask what can we have done better to try to address these issues. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, my sense from speaking with civic and religious leaders is that right now is not necessarily the time to have these types of conversations, that they want to focus more on the families of the victims and the witnesses of the massacre. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve even heard that the head of Oikos University is still in some shock. He wasn’t present at the memorial; it was the school’s vice president that represented the university on Tuesday. So the focus right now is on consoling and comforting and getting through the immediate shock of the tragedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Stephanie Martin\u003c/strong>: And the city of Oakland has set up a crisis line for anyone affected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mina Kim\u003c/strong>: Yes, the city and county have been working with Asian mental health services in Oakland and the Korean Community Center of the East Bay to coordinate mental health services. So far both organizations have told me they haven’t necessarily sensed a surge in demand, but they are at least prepared should the need arise. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number is 510 567 8109.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The 21-year-old was sone of seven people killed in Monday’s shooting rampage at Oikos University. The suspect, One Goh, has been charged with seveb counts of murder, in addition to attempted murder, kidnapping, and carjacking. The victims came from many different counties, but the incident has hit the Korean-American community particularly hard. KQED’s Mina Kim has been speaking with civic and religious leaders and attended a prayer vigil for the victims on Tuesday, and Stephanie Martin interviewed her today. The audio follows the transcript:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Stephanie Martin\u003c/strong>: How has the Korean community been coping? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mina Kim\u003c/strong>: This incident has really rocked the community. It occurred at a school that caters mostly to Korean Americans and recent Korean immigrants, among the dead are 2 Korean American women in their early 20s , and the shooter himself was Korean American. So there’s a lot of shock and grief and confusion. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, there’s some discomfort over how this might impact people’s perception of Korean Americans. This is a community that’s not often in the media. One service provider I spoke with actually used the word ‘invisibile’ to describe Korean Americans. So when the two biggest stories involving Korean Americans have been deadly campus shootings — the Virginia Tech massacre and now this Oikos University shooting — there’s definitely a concern that people will think these are problems inherent among Korean Americans. One of the faith leaders I spoke with said that was in part why they decided to have Tuesday’s prayer vigil at Allen Temple Baptist Church, which is predominantly an African-American church. They wanted to remind people that all communities are impacted when a massacre of this magnitude takes place. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Stephanie Martin\u003c/strong>: I understand that some in the Korean-American community are hoping this incident will help address the stigma against mental health issues…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Often that can mean trauma or other mental health issues will go untreated. I spoke with one mourner at the vigil, Justin Hong, who said he felt this is a chance for the community to speak up and reach out to people who might be troubled. “As a culture that experiences shame very strongly, it’s important for people to know that it’s okay, everyone struggles,” Hong said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Stephanie Martin\u003c/strong>: Some details have emerged about the alleged killer suggesting there were signs he needed mental health support. What do we know about that? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mina Kim\u003c/strong>: He was reportedly very self conscious of his limited English speaking skills, that he had significant debts, and that he had recently lost a sibling and his mother. At the same time, students and administrators reportedly described him as being a loner, having anger management issues. So there were signs out there that can cause people to ask what can we have done better to try to address these issues. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, my sense from speaking with civic and religious leaders is that right now is not necessarily the time to have these types of conversations, that they want to focus more on the families of the victims and the witnesses of the massacre. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve even heard that the head of Oikos University is still in some shock. He wasn’t present at the memorial; it was the school’s vice president that represented the university on Tuesday. So the focus right now is on consoling and comforting and getting through the immediate shock of the tragedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Stephanie Martin\u003c/strong>: And the city of Oakland has set up a crisis line for anyone affected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mina Kim\u003c/strong>: Yes, the city and county have been working with Asian mental health services in Oakland and the Korean Community Center of the East Bay to coordinate mental health services. So far both organizations have told me they haven’t necessarily sensed a surge in demand, but they are at least prepared should the need arise. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number is 510 567 8109.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

He defected and got his citizenship with the Dominican Republic, which unlocked him with our State Department. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He flew to Miami and people thought that he was probably going to be signing with the very ambitious Miami Marlins, but apparently he didn’t want to play in an area with such a large Cuban population; he thought it might be a media circus. Plus, the Marlins were offering him $36 million for six years, while the A’s were offering $36 million for just four years. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of people around baseball are shocked that he picked Oakland, because the direction of the team has not been to win right now. But the A’s have put a lot of money into their overseas scouting recently, signing a young shortstop out of Venezuela named Renato Nunez, and, a few years ago, a young pitcher from the Dominican, Michael Ynoa. Ynoa has the same agent as Cespedes, so that may have had something to do with the signing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cespedes is a five-tool player coming to Oakland in probably the darkest off-season for the A’s since the 1970’s. This is now a bright light.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Tittle says team ownership may have been too successful in talking down the Oakland Coliseum as a way to get permission from Major League Baseball to relocate the team to San Jose. Last year’s attendance in Oakland was the worst in the major leagues. \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\n\u003cstrong>Rick Tittle\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy if they say that no one comes here because the stadium is terrible. That doesn’t really bring in a lot of the fringe or fair-weather fans. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if you add a guy like Cespedes, who the fans can get excited about, that at least will give your team some value. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some people see this, along with the extensions of general manager Billy Beane and team president Michael Crowley to the year 2019, as signs that the stadium in San Jose will finally be approved. But what this means right now is that the A’s have a good player coming in, something that they have not been able to say for a while. All we’ve had are prospects and journeymen coming in. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, having Billy Beane sign you to a long-term contract does not mean you’re going to be hanging around. Look at A’s pitcher Trevor Cahill. Just as he was about to start earning money under his deal, jumping from $500,000 to $3.5 million, he was dealt to Arizona. So some A’s fans may think Yoenis Cespedes will be gone by the trading deadline, but let’s hope that the Cuban superstar will be the real deal and hang around for more than the proverbial cup of coffee. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

We turn to sports journalist \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/#!/RickTittle\">Rick Tittle\u003c/a> for a little analysis:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Rick Tittle \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_56426\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/02/cespedes2.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/02/cespedes2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"cespedes\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-56426\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yoennis Céspedes batting for Cuban national team in 2010 (boomer-44/Flickr)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Cespedes is a guy who the baseball world has seen in the Olympics and the World Baseball Classic. He defected and got his citizenship with the Dominican Republic, which unlocked him with our State Department. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He flew to Miami and people thought that he was probably going to be signing with the very ambitious Miami Marlins, but apparently he didn’t want to play in an area with such a large Cuban population; he thought it might be a media circus. Plus, the Marlins were offering him $36 million for six years, while the A’s were offering $36 million for just four years. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of people around baseball are shocked that he picked Oakland, because the direction of the team has not been to win right now. But the A’s have put a lot of money into their overseas scouting recently, signing a young shortstop out of Venezuela named Renato Nunez, and, a few years ago, a young pitcher from the Dominican, Michael Ynoa. Ynoa has the same agent as Cespedes, so that may have had something to do with the signing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cespedes is a five-tool player coming to Oakland in probably the darkest off-season for the A’s since the 1970’s. This is now a bright light.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Tittle says team ownership may have been too successful in talking down the Oakland Coliseum as a way to get permission from Major League Baseball to relocate the team to San Jose. Last year’s attendance in Oakland was the worst in the major leagues. \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\n\u003cstrong>Rick Tittle\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy if they say that no one comes here because the stadium is terrible. That doesn’t really bring in a lot of the fringe or fair-weather fans. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if you add a guy like Cespedes, who the fans can get excited about, that at least will give your team some value. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some people see this, along with the extensions of general manager Billy Beane and team president Michael Crowley to the year 2019, as signs that the stadium in San Jose will finally be approved. But what this means right now is that the A’s have a good player coming in, something that they have not been able to say for a while. All we’ve had are prospects and journeymen coming in. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, having Billy Beane sign you to a long-term contract does not mean you’re going to be hanging around. Look at A’s pitcher Trevor Cahill. Just as he was about to start earning money under his deal, jumping from $500,000 to $3.5 million, he was dealt to Arizona. So some A’s fans may think Yoenis Cespedes will be gone by the trading deadline, but let’s hope that the Cuban superstar will be the real deal and hang around for more than the proverbial cup of coffee. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They say they are collecting money for a new 24-hour day care center for the church, which runs a small K-12 private school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s going to be under my pastor’s house, and we’re going to put the pastor’s house on top,” said 9-year-old Mekhi Sade Nosakhare, standing in the Downtown Berkeley BART station without an adult present. She said she doesn’t like soliciting donations every night, but if she doesn’t, she gets in trouble with her mother and stepfather, Andrew Lacy, who is one of the pastor’s sons. Lacy, who arrived shortly after, declined to be interviewed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The church and its pastor, \u003ca href=\"http://www.saintambcpstu.com/51212.html\">Robert Lacy\u003c/a>, drew scrutiny last year after a \u003ca href=\"http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=88d_1275429607\">CBS 5 investigation\u003c/a> found that they required young students to spend long hours raising money from passers-by in downtown San Francisco. At the time, the students also said they were fundraising for a new building, but the TV report raised questions about where the money was actually going. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, church officials have a \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/75259353/BART-permit\">permit from BART\u003c/a> to raise funds every night from 5 to 8 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elizabeth Curry White, the pastor’s ex-wife and mother of Andrew Lacy, said the pastor has been making children raise money for many years, with nothing to show for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He tells my sons that he don’t have no money, so they go out there and try to get money,” White said. “He takes all the money and keeps it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert Lacy, the church’s 79-year-old founder, sometimes watches silently in the background as his own young children solicit money. One of them, Cloella Lacy, 16, said that if they don’t each collect about $50 or $75 in a night, they could get detention. Another, 12-year-old Moses Lacy, said he likes collecting money because “it gives me a mind to want to look into people’s eyes and get donations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both children were interviewed while they solicited donations at the Rockridge BART station without adult supervision. The pastor, who arrived later, declined to answer questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not going to tell you about it because you are a reporter, and we don’t want to get into no lawsuit with you,” Robert Lacy said. “BART gave us privilege to come out here. That’s all you need to know. … Leave me alone now before I call the police on you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials at St. Andrew did not respond to phone calls or e-mails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White said she recently took her grandson away from the church so he wouldn’t have to solicit money at night. The grandson, she said, was told that if he didn’t raise at least $100 in a night, he would get bad grades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the Oakland Unified School District approved payments totaling $72,700 to St. Andrew school officials for teacher training and student support since October 2009. \u003ca href=\"http://ousd.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=667334&GUID=F29FBD18-CD78-4A6C-BFDE-22D03780A982\">One of the pastor’s sons, Robert Lacy Jr., received $19,100\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The money comes from federal funding that public school districts must, by law, share with private schools. The district has little say over who receives the funds, said district spokesman Troy Flint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Organizations like St. Andrew face minimal oversight. Unlike other charities, churches don’t have to file with the state attorney general or the Internal Revenue Service. The California Department of Education doesn’t regulate private schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The minimum age for such soliciting in California is 6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Alameda County Social Services Agency, which investigates allegations of child abuse, has not investigated the church or school, said spokeswoman Sylvia Soublet. “The only time we can go out and investigate is when we have a specific allegation for a specific child,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White said the church hasn’t been remodeled or expanded in decades. Currently, no construction permits have been requested from the city of Oakland for the pastor’s or church’s addresses, according to the city’s community and economic development agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert Lacy brought the church to its current West Oakland location in 1978. He has a history of financial problems, filing for bankruptcy in 1996 under the name Robeth Lacy and again in 2003 as Robert Lacy, both times using the same Social Security number. He and his adult sons have been sued over various financial issues, including unpaid rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2007, Robert Lacy pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of theft of government money. He failed to notify the Social Security Administration of his father’s death and personally took about $17,000 in Social Security payments sent to his father’s account after he had died, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/75260583/Lacy-Plea-Agreement\">proposed plea agreement\u003c/a>. Robert Lacy also failed to report family property that made him ineligible to receive about $22,000 in government assistance, according to the agreement. He \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/75263961/Amended-Judgment\">had to pay back the money\u003c/a> through deductions to his monthly government checks and was given three years’ probation and a $1,000 fine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought he was a very nice guy when I met him,” said Peter Clerides, his defense attorney in that case. “He didn’t strike me as someone who would intentionally be involved in anything that was beyond the letter of the law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The church filed for bankruptcy in 2004. At the time, it was facing a lawsuit brought by the mother of a former student who, when she was four 4 years old, was allegedly mauled and disfigured by a Rottweiler at the school in 1993.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit claimed the dog belonged to Andrew Lacy, the pastor’s son, but the Lacys denied ownership. The church wrote in court filings that the injured girl and her mother “had full knowledge of all the risks, dangers and hazards, if any there were” and “failed to use that degree of care and caution for their own safety which a reasonably prudent person would have used.” The church settled the dispute for $70,000 in 2006, according to court records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Separately, in 2004, Alameda County obtained a $13,000 court judgment against Andrew Lacy. According to court filings, Andrew Lacy admitted that he “fraudulently received public assistance benefits” from the county “by submitting false written statements under penalty of perjury.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of 2004, the church served a congregation of 50 people, had an unpaid staff, and survived on donations and fundraising, according to an interview with a church representative as part of the bankruptcy proceeding. The school had 20 or fewer students and emphasized Bible training, according to the interview. That same year, however, the church reported to the state that it had 195 students, the same number it reported this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A bankruptcy trustee attorney found that the church brought in a total of $47,129 after more than a year in bankruptcy and that it had a negative cash balance and bad check fees. A bankruptcy judge dismissed the church’s case when it failed to submit filings on time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among other creditors, the church owed money to the Alameda County Community Food Bank. Agencies like soup kitchens and churches that distribute for the food bank pay a small fee that helps cover costs. St. Andrew owed about $1,000, a relatively large debt, said food bank spokesman Michael Altfest. The food bank had to write it off as bad debt and no longer partners with St. Andrew, Altfest said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland resident Deborah Carney said she enrolled her daughter at St. Andrew a couple of years ago because the pastor initially seemed to understand her child’s learning needs. But Carney pulled her daughter from the program, she said, because the church was making her solicit money until late at night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the teachers said, ‘You’re not leaving until you make my money,’ ” Carney said. “It would be like 10, 11 o’clock at night when they got home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Carney tried to exempt her daughter from the fundraising, she said the pastor refused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was like, ‘No. You can’t give her permission. She can’t leave,’ ” Carney said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carney said church officials also pressured her to attend services as a condition of her daughter’s enrollment. She said the congregation appeared to be made up mostly of the pastor’s family members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White, the pastor’s ex-wife, said she is concerned about the children who attend St. Andrew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I worry about them, ’cause I know how he did me and my kids,” she said. “But there’s nothing I can do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Will Evans is an investigative reporter for California Watch, a project of the non-profit Center for Investigative Reporting.

Lacy, who arrived shortly after, declined to be interviewed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The church and its pastor, \u003ca href=\"http://www.saintambcpstu.com/51212.html\">Robert Lacy\u003c/a>, drew scrutiny last year after a \u003ca href=\"http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=88d_1275429607\">CBS 5 investigation\u003c/a> found that they required young students to spend long hours raising money from passers-by in downtown San Francisco. At the time, the students also said they were fundraising for a new building, but the TV report raised questions about where the money was actually going. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

One of them, Cloella Lacy, 16, said that if they don’t each collect about $50 or $75 in a night, they could get detention. Another, 12-year-old Moses Lacy, said he likes collecting money because “it gives me a mind to want to look into people’s eyes and get donations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both children were interviewed while they solicited donations at the Rockridge BART station without adult supervision. The pastor, who arrived later, declined to answer questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not going to tell you about it because you are a reporter, and we don’t want to get into no lawsuit with you,” Robert Lacy said. “BART gave us privilege to come out here. That’s all you need to know. … Leave me alone now before I call the police on you.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials at St. Andrew did not respond to phone calls or e-mails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White said she recently took her grandson away from the church so he wouldn’t have to solicit money at night. The grandson, she said, was told that if he didn’t raise at least $100 in a night, he would get bad grades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the Oakland Unified School District approved payments totaling $72,700 to St. Andrew school officials for teacher training and student support since October 2009. \u003ca href=\"http://ousd.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=667334&GUID=F29FBD18-CD78-4A6C-BFDE-22D03780A982\">One of the pastor’s sons, Robert Lacy Jr., received $19,100\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The money comes from federal funding that public school districts must, by law, share with private schools. The district has little say over who receives the funds, said district spokesman Troy Flint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Organizations like St. Andrew face minimal oversight. Unlike other charities, churches don’t have to file with the state attorney general or the Internal Revenue Service. The California Department of Education doesn’t regulate private schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The minimum age for such soliciting in California is 6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Alameda County Social Services Agency, which investigates allegations of child abuse, has not investigated the church or school, said spokeswoman Sylvia Soublet. “The only time we can go out and investigate is when we have a specific allegation for a specific child,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White said the church hasn’t been remodeled or expanded in decades. Currently, no construction permits have been requested from the city of Oakland for the pastor’s or church’s addresses, according to the city’s community and economic development agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert Lacy brought the church to its current West Oakland location in 1978. He has a history of financial problems, filing for bankruptcy in 1996 under the name Robeth Lacy and again in 2003 as Robert Lacy, both times using the same Social Security number. He and his adult sons have been sued over various financial issues, including unpaid rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2007, Robert Lacy pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of theft of government money. He failed to notify the Social Security Administration of his father’s death and personally took about $17,000 in Social Security payments sent to his father’s account after he had died, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/75260583/Lacy-Plea-Agreement\">proposed plea agreement\u003c/a>. Robert Lacy also failed to report family property that made him ineligible to receive about $22,000 in government assistance, according to the agreement. He \u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/75263961/Amended-Judgment\">had to pay back the money\u003c/a> through deductions to his monthly government checks and was given three years’ probation and a $1,000 fine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought he was a very nice guy when I met him,” said Peter Clerides, his defense attorney in that case. “He didn’t strike me as someone who would intentionally be involved in anything that was beyond the letter of the law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The church filed for bankruptcy in 2004. At the time, it was facing a lawsuit brought by the mother of a former student who, when she was four 4 years old, was allegedly mauled and disfigured by a Rottweiler at the school in 1993.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit claimed the dog belonged to Andrew Lacy, the pastor’s son, but the Lacys denied ownership. The church wrote in court filings that the injured girl and her mother “had full knowledge of all the risks, dangers and hazards, if any there were” and “failed to use that degree of care and caution for their own safety which a reasonably prudent person would have used.” The church settled the dispute for $70,000 in 2006, according to court records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Separately, in 2004, Alameda County obtained a $13,000 court judgment against Andrew Lacy. According to court filings, Andrew Lacy admitted that he “fraudulently received public assistance benefits” from the county “by submitting false written statements under penalty of perjury.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of 2004, the church served a congregation of 50 people, had an unpaid staff, and survived on donations and fundraising, according to an interview with a church representative as part of the bankruptcy proceeding. The school had 20 or fewer students and emphasized Bible training, according to the interview. That same year, however, the church reported to the state that it had 195 students, the same number it reported this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A bankruptcy trustee attorney found that the church brought in a total of $47,129 after more than a year in bankruptcy and that it had a negative cash balance and bad check fees. A bankruptcy judge dismissed the church’s case when it failed to submit filings on time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among other creditors, the church owed money to the Alameda County Community Food Bank. Agencies like soup kitchens and churches that distribute for the food bank pay a small fee that helps cover costs. St. Andrew owed about $1,000, a relatively large debt, said food bank spokesman Michael Altfest. The food bank had to write it off as bad debt and no longer partners with St. Andrew, Altfest said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland resident Deborah Carney said she enrolled her daughter at St. Andrew a couple of years ago because the pastor initially seemed to understand her child’s learning needs. But Carney pulled her daughter from the program, she said, because the church was making her solicit money until late at night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the teachers said, ‘You’re not leaving until you make my money,’ ” Carney said. “It would be like 10, 11 o’clock at night when they got home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Carney tried to exempt her daughter from the fundraising, she said the pastor refused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was like, ‘No. You can’t give her permission. She can’t leave,’ ” Carney said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carney said church officials also pressured her to attend services as a condition of her daughter’s enrollment. She said the congregation appeared to be made up mostly of the pastor’s family members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White, the pastor’s ex-wife, said she is concerned about the children who attend St. Andrew.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I worry about them, ’cause I know how he did me and my kids,” she said. “But there’s nothing I can do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
