A Deerfield High School graduate recently placed in the top ten in the World Cup–only not of the FIFA variety. Christina Loukas, a state champ when she was on the Deerfield diving team, recently placed eighth in the women’s 1-meter dive.
In addition, Loukas also took seventh place in the women’s 10-meter synchronized dive with teammate Cassandra Cardinell. The events took place last friday at the XV FINA Diving World Cup in Changsu, China.

Long-term fugitive Farhad Hakimi, 50, formerly of Deerfield was finally arrested after failing to appear at trial almost ten years ago. Hakimi was originally charged with possession of marijuana and cocaine, but now faces heavier charges for fleeing. He was extradited from Mexico where he had been living for the past nine years. Previous attempts at extradition were denied by Mexico, even though he had been arrested there three additional times.
Although he no longer posed any threat to the Deerfield area, the police are still relieved. Hakimi had previously possessed large enough amounts of drugs to suggest trafficking, so the police are grateful to serve justice, even if it is delayed.
