May 19--Don Kercell thinks he's earned a second chance.

The Contractors State License Board does not agree.

And therein lies a tale of choices and consequences; crime and punishment; addiction and rehabilitation; public protection and personal redemption -- and second chances.

Kercell is a 48-year-old resident of Rio Linda. In his youth, he discovered two things. One was that he had a talent for working with concrete.

The other was methamphetamine.

The former, coupled with an impressive work ethic, kept Kercell gainfully employed much of the time. The latter put him in prison.
