CLEARLAKE – The family of a man who was stabbed to death Sunday night remembered him as caring, kind and generous, and expressed disbelief over his murder.


Nicolai Chukreeff, 40, was stabbed to death in an incident Sunday night that took place at the Harbor Lite Resort on Lakeshore, according to a Monday Clearlake Police report.


Clearlake Police had not made any arrests on Monday in connection with the murder.


“I want the person caught, whoever did it,” said Chukreeff's younger sister, Michelle Giguiere of Santa Rosa.


Giguiere said her brother was born in San Jose and spent most of his youth in Santa Rosa. He was the second-oldest of five children, which included three boys and two girls.


Chukreeff's other sister, Ellena, said he had lived in Clearlake for the last five years. For two decades had had worked in construction, with cement work being his specialty.


Earlier this year, he had open heart surgery to repair a defective heart valve, Ellena Chukreeff said. He had spoken to their grandmother last Wednesday after a checkup with his doctor, which showed his heart to be in good condition.


He had looked forward to living a long and healthy life following his surgery, his sisters said.


Nick Chukreeff's sisters said he loved to fish and go boating, and shared his passion for fishing with his family, including his two nephews. He was so good at fishing that they jokingly called him “the fish whisperer.” Giguiere also remembered his great laugh.


“That's what we don't understand,” said Giguiere. “He was so loving. He'd give the shirt off his back to anybody who needed it.”


He also was a father figure to his younger siblings, said Giguiere, all of whom had a difficult upbringing. That, she said, brought all of them closer.


Nick Chukreeff's family-oriented outlook made him particularly protective. Giguiere said recently she had been ill and he made the trip from Clearlake to Santa Rosa just to check in on her. He'd do anything for his family, she said.


“I'm just looking for justice,” Ellena Chukreeff said in an e-mail message to Lake County News.


She also questioned what happened to her brother and who was with him. Neither she nor her sister received information from police on Monday.


Giguiere said the words “only the good die young” keep going through her head.


“My heart hurts so bad, because whoever did this took a really good person,” she said.

LAKE COUNTY – Flags at California Highway Patrol offices throughout the state were flown at half-staff on Thursday and will be at half-staff again on Friday in honor of officers killed in the line of duty.


The families of three CHP officers were joined Thursday by Business, Transportation and Housing Agency Secretary Dale Bonner and CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow to place a wreath at the CHP Academy’s Memorial Fountain.


"The officers who have fallen upheld tradition in such a way that we can all be proud," said Secretary Bonner. "The prayers and gratitude of Californians are with the families of all of the brave officers we honor here today."


The CHP Academy Memorial Fountain bears plaques engraved with the names of each of the Department’s 213 officers killed in the line of duty since its formation 79 years ago.


This year, the names of the following three CHP officers were added to the fountain:


  • Officer Robert F. Dickey who was killed June 10, 2007, in an automobile collision on I-8 while on patrol in Imperial County. Officer Dickey was a five-year veteran and worked out of the CHP’s Winterhaven Area office. He is survived by his wife and son.

  • Officer Douglas S. Russell who was struck and killed while deploying a spike strip to stop a vehicle involved in a pursuit on Highway 50, July 31, 2007. The 22-year veteran worked out of the CHP’s Placerville Area office and is survived by his wife.

  • Officer John Miller who was killed in an automobile collision Nov. 16, 2007, while searching for a reported drunk driver. Officer Miller had served with the CHP for one year and was assigned to the Dublin Area office. He is survived by his wife and two children.


"We live under the protection of brave men and women who risk their lives every day in an effort to make California one of the safest states in the country," Commissioner Farrow said.


Flags at CHP offices throughout the state also will be flown at half-staff from May 11 through May 17 in observance of National Police Week.

COBB MOUNTAIN – A building that once was a well-known restaurant and bar burned down early Monday morning.


The building, located along Highway 175, once housed the 4 Nicks, JB's and Brewsky's, said South Lake County Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Jim Wright.


Wright said the district received the call that the building was on fire at about 1 a.m. When firefighters arrived, the roof already was fully engulfed and the fire was lighting up the sky.


Three engines – one from Cal Fire and two from South Lake County Fire – along with two South Lake water tenders responded to the fire, along with about 15 firefighters, said Wright.


Also responding were Lake County Sheriff's deputies, California Highway Patrol officers and Caltrans staff, who controlled traffic on the highway as firefighters worked to put out the blaze, Wright said.


Because the area has no fire hydrants, Wright said firefighters used the nearby Whispering Pines Resort pool as a water source.


The fire was contained within about an hour, said Wright, with the fire completely out by about 6 a.m.


Between 5 a.m .and 5:30 a.m. Highway 175 was completely reopened so morning commuter traffic was able to move through, he said.


The building's upstairs is gone, with the downstairs remaining, but Wright said the structure is a complete loss. He didn't have a value estimate on total damages Monday.


Wright said the fire does not appear to have been an arson.


A generator had been used in the upstairs to power an adjacent cabin, he said. The fire “appeared to have started upstairs in the area of the generator.”


The building, which he said had been vacant for several years, had at one time looked like a log cabin, but recent remodels had added a stucco exterior.


A travel trailer adjacent to the main building that sustained minor damage, said Wright. No injuries to firefighters or anyone else were reported.


County Code Enforcement Manager Voris Brumfield said the building was red-tagged at 7 a.m.

LAKE COUNTY – Efforts to increase the number of local students who will attend four-year colleges are seeing results, say county education officials.


The Lake County Office of Education's College-Going Initiative, now in its fourth year, seeks to give students the knowledge they need about college requirements in order to move them on to higher education, said Jamey Gill, a curriculum and instruction specialist.


It appears to be working based on a few years' worth of data, although the county's college attendance numbers still aren't huge.


Gill said last year 105 local students were accepted to four-year colleges. That number edged up slightly this year to 108. Gill called the numbers “encouraging.”


This year the program has begun tracking community college students making the move to a four-year school this year, said Gill. Five students from Yuba College are going on to new schools, and the Lake County Office of Education is working with Mendocino College to track how many local students are moving to four-year institutions.


Twenty-six local graduates were accepted at University of California institutions, among them Santa Cruz, Berkeley and Davis, said Gill. Popular California State Universities include Sonoma State – one of the schools with the largest Lake County student population – along with Humboldt, Chico and Sacramento.


A few students are even on their way to out-of-state schools, Gill added.


The business of getting to college, said Gill, is much bigger than just having good grades or filling out the application.


A great deal rests on completion rates for “A” through “G” courses, which are completed in high school and make students eligible to attend four-year colleges or universities, she explained.


“We are below the state average, though, and that's what we're really working on,” she said. “We want to get kids eligible.”


Gill said many students don't understand the course requirements until it's too late. “It makes many voices” outside of school counselors – including parents, teachers and others – to get the message across, she added.


Lake County Office of Education Superintendent Dave Geck said the resources that go into the program are a combination of his agency's staff coupled with the staff efforts of higher education partners such as the University of California, San Francisco.


The Office of Education receives money from the University of California to assist in some of the program's projects, said Geck.


The College-Going Initiative includes special grade-level activities to get students to the point of meeting all the criteria for higher education, said Geck.


Those activities include special presentations, college visitations, SAT preparation classes and financial aid workshops, and algebra academies for eighth graders, he said.


The initiative tops off the year with a celebration of students who are making that next big step in their education.


On April 28, the Lake County Office of Education held its third annual dinner and reception for students accepted to four-year institutions.


Eighty-five of the 113 students honored – along more than 100 family members, friends and teachers – attended the evening event, held at Kelseyville High School.


Also there to recognize the students were two dozen top officials from a cross section of Lake County school districts.


Guest speakers included Dr. Blas Guerrero from the University of California Office of the President, Geck and Kathy Kelley from the office of state Sen. Pat Wiggins.

Guerrero offered comparisons of his personal experiences of his growth and education in California to the future opportunities the soon to be graduates may look forward to and advised that they could return to Lake County as “the role models of the next class of graduates.”


Geck said Guerrero has personally helped Lake County's College-Going Initiative in its efforts.


The Kelseyville High School Jazz band provided the evening's music and several Kelseyville high students contributed their time and efforts in the kitchen as well as serving and busing tables during the dinner hour.

Gill said the students “were really excited” at the event.


“It just pumps the kids up,” she said.


The dinner is meant to encourage the students and make sure they take the next steps to get to college in the fall, said Gill. It's also an opportunity for families to celebrate and be recognized.

Many of the young people served by the initiative are the first in their family to make it to college, she noted.


Gill said the initiative is trying to keep the upward growth trend for college attendance going. In the coming years she believe some local education programs like algebra academies are going to increase the pool of students eligible to attend college.


Just around the corner is another College-Going Initiative event, Higher Education Week II, scheduled for May 12 and 13. The two days of workshops are aimed at all local students – upper elementary, middle and high school – and their parents, and offer the chance to learn more about several visiting colleges, as well as the college and financial aid application processes.

GLENHAVEN – A Tuesday afternoon crash injured a Yuba City couple and an Upper Lake man.


Stephen Raetz, 67, his wife Jackie, 62, and Samuel Miller, 69, all sustained injuries in the head-on collision which took place just after 2 p.m. Tuesday, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Adam Garcia.


Garcia said Stephen Raetz was driving his 2005 Ford Taurus eastbound on Highway 20 in Glenhaven when his vehicle crossed over the double yellow lines and struck Miller's 1993 Toyota Corolla head-on.


A preliminary investigation indicates that Stephen Raetz may have fallen asleep at the wheel prior to the collision, said Garcia.


Jackie Raetz sustained major injuries which were not life-threatening, said Garcia. She was taken to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital via REACH air ambulance.


Miller sustained minor to moderate injuries and was taken to Sutter Lakeside Hospital by Northshore Fire ambulance, said Garcia, while Stephen Raetz sustained minor injuries but was not transported.


CHP Officer Efrain Cortez is investigating the collision, Garcia said.

LUCERNE – The residents of Lucerne will have an opportunity to speak directly to state utility officials this week at a special meeting on water rates.


The California Public Utilities Commission will hold a meeting beginning at 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 7, at the Lucerne Senior Center, located at 10th and Country Club.


All residents and water ratepayers in Lucerne are invited to come to the meeting, which will specifically discuss proposed rate hikes requested by California Water Service Co., the town's water provider.


Lucerne Community Water Organization President Craig Bach led an effort – which included a petition drive to gather hundreds of signatures – in order to get the commission to come to Lucerne, as Lake County News has reported.

THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN CORRECTED. 

 

LUCERNE – California Water Service, the drinking water division of the state Department of Public Health, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and its Division of Ratepayer Advocates were in Lucerne Wednesday evening to update the community on work at the Highway 20 treatment plant – and on paying for it.


The meeting was arranged by the Lucerne Community Water Association (LCWO) and attracted nearly 90 people.


LCWO President Craig Bach presented a petition with 430 signatures to Sean Wilson, a regulatory analyst with the CPUC. He said the petition asks that California Water Service Co. make full financial information on the $7.1 million plant upgrade available to the community.


The plant upgrades were required by the state Department of Public Health, which suggested a moratorium on new connections in 2006. The DPH had told Cal Water in 2002 there were deficiencies in the treatment plant and directed the company to correct them.


Cal Water applied for a 30-year, zero-percent interest loan from the State Revolving Fund for reimbursement of the costs it has incurred in the work. The plant is due to be in operation this September, and the company has announced it will then impose a water bill surcharge of $17.36 monthly to repay the loan.


The upgraded plant, which uses membrane filtration and ultraviolet disinfection, will allow for 10 percent growth in connections to the system; Bruce Burton of the drinking water division said that limit is a state requirement.


Some questioners wanted to know why the cost had grown from $3.6 million since the plant upgrade was first proposed in August 2005.


Cal Water rates manager Tom Smegal and engineer Jeff Yarne said some of the costs included $1.7 million for engineering studies on other properties which proved unsuitable for a treatment plant, and that there have been dramatic increases in in materials and transportation costs. They said costs at other locations would have been much higher.


Frank Parker, a Lucerne resident who worked on a crew that maintained the city of Weed's well and spring-fed water system in the 1960s, criticized the company severely for the overruns on its engineering studies, which were originally estimated at $260,000, and suggested they should have used Cal Water employees rather than consultants to do the work.


Yarne explained that Cal Water staff engineers are not construction engineers and the number of plants the company builds one every other year doesn't justify keeping construction engineers on staff.


Responding to 10-year-old Arthur Wilkie's question about what happens to the plant's old materials, Yarne said anything that can be recycled will be, including valuable steel and brass.


One questioner wanted to know how the treatment deals with "mercury in the water." Burton told him in 23 years of working in the district and monitoring testing he has never seen a sample positive for mercury, although it is in the lake sediment.


Much of the last hour of the two-hour meeting was taken up with the question of profits and explanations of the law governing loans from the State Revolving Fund.


Wilson and Danilo Sanchez, manager of the DRA, explained that construction funded by the State Revolving Fund does not become part of the rate base, and cannot create profit for the company if it sells the property. The financing is overseen and tracked by the CPUC, the DRA and a fiscal agent, such as a bank. Surcharges for loan repayment are kept in a balancing account and can be used only to repay the loan, Wilson said.


All Lucerne residents have received rate relief of $17 per month since the company's last rate increase was settled in July 2006, with the intervention of LCWO and its pro bono attorney, Steve Elias of Lakeport. The discount is funded by a one cent surcharge on Cal Water's other customers in California, some 500,000 households.


In addition, low-income Lucerne residents receive a $10 discount on their water use. Sanchez said four or five other California communities receive similar rate relief.


The company had asked for a 246 percent increase and received 121 percent.

Editor's Note: The original article incorrectly stated that Frank Parker worked at the city of Weed's water treatment plant. Instead, he was on the city crew which maintained the well and spring-fed water system in the 1960s. Weed does not have a treatment plant, he said.
