Brenda Joyce Redoble, 59, and Dennis Eugene Baker, 60, both of Clearlake, Calif., were arrested on drug charges by Lake County Sheriff's Narcotics Task Force members on Wednesday, August 3, 2011. Lake County Jail photos.

CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The service of a search warrant by the Sheriff’s Narcotics Task Force Wednesday morning resulted in two arrests, the seizure of approximately a quarter of an ounce of methamphetamine, and the seizure of more than $300 for asset forfeiture.

Capt. James Bauman of the Lake County Sheriff's Office said Brenda Joyce Redoble, 59, and Dennis Eugene Baker, 60, of Clearlake were arrested in the operation.

Bauman said that on July 28 narcotics detectives secured a search warrant for Redoble's person and home and at 7 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 3, detectives served the warrant at Redoble’s home on Eureka Avenue in the city of Clearlake.

When narcotics detectives entered the home, four people were detained without incident, including Redoble and Baker, Bauman said. Baker was determined to be under the influence of a controlled substance and arrested.

During a search of the home, detectives located approximately a quarter of an ounce of methamphetamine packaged for sales and $300 in currency concealed between the mattresses of Redoble’s bed in her bedroom, Bauman said.

Narcotics sales paraphernalia, digital scales, a glass “meth” pipe and additional currency were found concealed in a file cabinet drawer in the same bedroom. Bauman said a further search of the home revealed four additional “meth” pipes concealed in the living room and in Baker’s bedroom.

He said Redoble was arrested for possession of a controlled substance for sales and possession of narcotics paraphernalia. Baker was arrested for being under the influence of a controlled substance and possession of narcotics paraphernalia.

Both were transported to the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility and booked. Redoble's bail was set at $10,000 and Baker's at $3,000. Baker and Redoble both later posted bail and were released, jail records showed.

The other two detainees were released at the scene, Bauman said.

Charles Williams, 77, of Lucerne was injured in the crash, which occurred at around 10 a.m. Tuesday, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Kory Reynolds.

Williams was driving a 1993 Toyota pickup eastbound on Highway 20 near Clearlake Oaks, traveling at about 45 miles per hour, when he went off the road, Reynolds said.

According to Reynolds, Williams' pickup struck a tree before it overturned.

Williams suffered minor injuries to his right arm and head, said Reynolds.

Reynolds said alcohol was not a factor in the crash.

Area resident Johnny Miskill posted on Lake County News' Facebook page on Tuesday his concerns about how the crash scene was handled, noting there were no signs or flares up to warn about it. He said he and others were almost involved in collisions near the scene as a result.

The Pass Fire, which broke out just after noon on Wednesday, had previously been estimated at 800 acres, but Cal Fire said on Thursday that the blaze was 644 acres.

The fire is located on Hams Road Pass in the Hulls Mountain area northeast of Covelo, Cal Fire said.

Firefighters continued the work of constructing and improving containment lines, and improved and held fire lines and put out hot spots, with Cal Fire reporting that the blaze was 45-percent contained as of Thursday evening. It is expected to be fully contained on Saturday.

On Thursday the number of personnel on the fire totaled 921, more than double the number of the previous day, according to Cal Fire's reports.

One injury was reported, according to the Thursday report.

Approximately 52 engines, 33 fire crews, one air tanker, three helicopters, six dozers and seven water tenders also were on scene, according to Cal Fire.

Cooperating agencies include Cal Fire, Brooktrails Fire Department, Covelo Fire Department, Laytonville Fire Department, Little Lake Fire Department, Redwood Valley/Calpella Fire Department, Ukiah Valley Fire Protection District, US Forest Service and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Mendocino National Forest was taking part in the unified command.

Cal Fire reported that costs to fight the fire so far total $ 867,000.

No structures are threatened, and the fire's cause is under investigation, Cal Fire said.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The trailer for the movie Francis Ford Coppola filmed in Lake County last year has made its debut.

The three-and-a-half-minute trailer for “Twixt” was posted to YouTube on Tuesday, Aug. 2.

Lake County residents will recognize downtown Kelseyville and Clearlake, and “The Woodpecker” shop on Highway 20 in Nice, with its assortment of bat and bird houses and recycled wood furniture.

The gothic horror tale stars Val Kilmer, Elle Fanning, Bruce Dern and Ben Chaplin, and follows the story of a mystery writer's visit to the small town of Swann Valley and his subsequent exploration of a young girl's murder.

According to writer Russ Fischer, Coppola appeared on a panel at Comic Con last month and shared a look at his plans for the film, including presenting parts of it in 3D.

Coppola also plans to take an interactive approach to presenting the film. Fischer reported that Coppola will undertake a 30-city tour later this year in which he and his team will create different versions of the movie depending on where it's viewed and audience reaction.

The movie will have its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in September.

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) warns the public about the dangers of leaving children, loved ones or pets unattended inside a vehicle while parked in the hot, summer sun.

“It takes mere minutes for the temperature inside of a vehicle to become deadly, even in the shade,” said CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow. “Never leave children, pets or anyone unable to care for themselves in the car, even with the windows rolled down.”

Leaving an unattended child in a car is illegal, so if you see one, call 911 immediately. It can mean a matter of life or death.

The national, nonprofit organization 4 R Kids Sake designated August as “Purple Ribbon Month,” to raise awareness and educate the public about the dangers of leaving a child unattended in a vehicle.

In recognition of “Purple Ribbon Month,” CHP officers will attach a purple ribbon to the antenna of their patrol cars as a gentle reminder to not leave children in the vehicle.

This action is part of a campaign to remember 6-month-old Kaitlyn Russell who died Aug. 15, 2000, when she was left alone in her babysitter’s car for about two hours.

“Kaitlyn’s Law” states that anyone who leaves a child 6 years or younger inside a vehicle without the supervision of someone at least 12 years old can be fined $100.

“It takes very little effort to take a child or loved one with you,” said Commissioner Farrow. “It is not worth it to leave them in the car, even for a few moments.”

The study will analyze and inventory marine archaeological resources on the Pacific Outer Continental Shelf and existing historical sites located on the West Coast.

Findings from the study will be used in future environmental analyses and may trigger specific steps to mitigate potential environmental impacts associated with future construction and deployment of offshore renewable energy facilities.

“A thorough understanding of coastal and marine resources is critical to adequately assess potential effects of future offshore renewable energy technology testing and commercial development,” said BOEMRE Director Michael R. Bromwich. “The findings of this study will assist us in future siting decisions and enhance our ability to identify effective methodologies for protecting those resources.”

It has been more than 20 years since BOEMRE has conducted a marine archaeological study offshore California, Oregon and Washington.

Since that time, there have been a number of significant archaeological discoveries along the Pacific coast, including historic shipwrecks and now submerged prehistoric sites.

The study is intended to broaden the understanding of known and potential submerged cultural resources, as well improving our understanding of potential visual impacts to coastal historic properties along the Pacific coast.

BOEMRE marine archaeologists and environmental scientists will use these findings for environmental assessments and use them as a basis to mitigate potential adverse effects of future offshore renewable energy activities.

This study builds on similar efforts in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico to create standardized geo-referenced databases of non-renewable cultural heritage resources.

BOEMRE funds approximately $30 million per year for scientific studies in the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic, the Pacific and the Arctic and is responsible for regulating activities on the 1.7 billion acres of U.S. offshore area on the Pacific Outer Continental Shelf.

As part of this national program, the Pacific Region manages research in physical oceanography, biology, ecology and socioeconomics.

“The California Department of Public Health is actively supporting the federal government’s multi-state investigation of salmonella cases reported and is coordinating with local health departments across California to monitor for additional cases,” Kathleen Billingsley, chief deputy director of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), said Tuesday.

On Monday the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identified ground turkey as a possible source of the salmonella contamination and CDPH is in regular contact with our federal partners as the investigation about the source of contamination continues.

To guard against salmonella infection, CDPH urges consumers to thoroughly cook poultry to 165 degrees, wash all surfaces immediately after contact with raw meat or poultry and to refrigerate raw and cooked meat within two hours of purchasing or cooking.”

The illnesses in this outbreak are from Salmonella Heidelberg – a bacteria that is resistant to many commonly prescribed antibiotics.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention the outbreak has sickened 77 people in 26 states. The illnesses first emerged in March and have been reported as recently as last month.

On Aug. 1, the CDC and USDA identified ground turkey as a possible source of the salmonella contamination.

In California, one fatality was reported from Sacramento County, which also reported one additional case linked to the outbreak. The other four cases were from the following counties: Los Angeles (1), Riverside (1), San Diego (1) and San Francisco (1).

Most people infected with salmonella bacteria develop diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection.

The illness usually lasts four to seven days and most people recover without treatment. In some cases, however, the diarrhea may be so severe that the patient must be hospitalized.

CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Three men accused of taking part in a June attack on a family that left a child dead and five others wounded made a Tuesday court appearance at which a judge determined their joint preliminary hearing would take place in September.

Kevin Ray Stone, 29, of Clearlake, and Clearlake Oaks residents Paul William Braden, 21, and Orlando Joseph Lopez, 23, appeared before Judge Stephen Hedstrom in Lake County Superior Court's Clearlake Division on Tuesday afternoon for both the setting of their preliminary hearing date and the completion of Stone's arraignment.

The three men are accused of taking part in a late-night shooting in Clearlake on June 18 that killed 4-year-old Skyler Rapp and wounded his mother, Desiree Kirby, as well as her boyfriend, Ross Sparks, and his brother, Andrew Sparks, and friends Ian Griffith and Joseph Armijo.

Each of the men are facing more than a dozen charges – including murder, mayhem, and numerous counts of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon, along with special allegations for use of firearms and great bodily injury.

Stone would enter a not guilty plea to the charges and denial of the special allegations on Tuesday. Braden and Lopez previously entered not guilty pleas.

Watching from the audience was Clearlake resident John Hamner, grandfather of Ross and Andrew Sparks, and step-great-grandfather of Skyler Rapp. He said afterward that seeing the men in court was the hardest thing he's ever done.

Stone, Braden and Lopez were accompanied in court on Tuesday by their defense attorneys – Komnith Moth, Doug Rhoades and Stephen Carter, respectively, with District Attorney Don Anderson handling the prosecution.

“This ultimately is anticipated to be one joint preliminary examination?” Hedstrom asked the attorneys.

“That's our understanding,” said Rhoades.

The attorneys originally proposed the preliminary hearing to begin on Sept. 27, with Anderson estimating it would take five days to complete the proceeding.

However, Rhoades said of Anderson's time estimate, “That has the potential of actually being conservative.”

Rhoades estimated that the hearing could take as many as seven days, or about two weeks in court time.

With three defendants and three attorneys, the case has some inherent scheduling challenges.

In working out the scheduling, Carter brought up the possibility of the preliminary hearing's time frame conflicting with another homicide prosecution – that of former Maine resident Robby Beasley – in which he also is defense counsel.

The Beasley case has been set for trial on Oct. 3; however, with a general time waiver in place, that trial can be adjusted to accommodate the preliminary hearing, said Hedstrom, and Carter indicated there are other issues with the Beasley case that may result in it being rescheduled anyway.

While Rhoades said the scheduling should work for him, Moth has a murder trial set to start the first week of September which he said he hoped would be completed within three weeks but could conflict if it ran long.

During the Tuesday afternoon appearance, Stone also was arraigned in the case. Braden and Lopez – who were taken into custody within days of the shooting – were arraigned late in June, but Stone was on the run for two weeks before he was arrested in Santa Rosa.

Moth entered a plea on Stone's behalf of not guilty on all counts and the denial of all special allegations.

Hedstrom briefly adjourned court while Moth filled out a time waiver form for Stone. When court was back in session Hedstrom directly addressed all three defendants, asking them if they understood the process, explaining that they had the right to have a preliminary hearing in a continuous session and that their attorneys were advising that they waive that right.

Stone, sitting in the jury box in front of Moth, turned to his attorney and said he hadn't explained that. Moth leaned in to explain it, with Stone then acknowledging to the judge that he understood, and he and his co-defendants then agreed to waive the continuous preliminary hearing.

Hedstrom set the preliminary hearing for the men on Sept. 28 in a department to be determined. He said the preliminary hearing assignment hearing will be held at 8:15 a.m. Sept. 23 in Judge Andrew Blum's Department 3 courtroom. A preliminary hearing readiness conference will be held at 8:15 a.m. Sept. 20 in Hedstrom's courtroom.

With Braden and Lopez dismissed, Stone and Moth remained along with Anderson, as Stone still had to enter pleas on another case involving several alleged probation violations and allegations related to driving on a suspended license, Anderson said later. Moth entered not guilty pleas to all of the charges in the second case.

Hamner said his family is continuing to recover from the shootings, which he called, “a complete ambush.”

“I don't understand it. I just don't understand it,” he said.

According to Hamner, he had never seen Stone or Lopez before the Tuesday court appearance, but he said he saw Braden at his daughter's home the day before the fatal shooting. Hamner said he was going into the home as Braden was leaving.

He said another of his grandsons had been jumped by several individuals in the days before the shooting.

Hamner said he will continue to show up to the court appearances as the case moves forward.

“I will be at every one,” he said. “I don't care if they take it out of county.”

The real culprits were a deeply distressed economy, which drove prices down, and a logical process, set up 40 years ago, to track inflation and adjust federal payments to protect their purchasing power.

Those who did complain about absent COLAs might soon have a more legitimate reason to grouse: a new yardstick for setting COLAs called the Chain Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (or C-CPI-U)

First, let’s review why COLAs stopped for two years.

Starting in the last quarter of 2008, the cost of goods and services fell sharply while housing and financial markets collapsed. Yet the last COLA, of January 2009, had been shaped by price data collected months earlier after gasoline prices had hit new highs.

So federal entitlements jumped 5.8 percent, the largest bump in 25 years, as prices slid across the marketplace.

The tool long used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to track inflation and set COLAs is the Consumer Price Index of All Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W).

After the 2009 increase, no COLA could be paid until prices for a market basket of good and services surpassed levels reported in the third quarter of 2008, and used to set the 5.8 percent COLA.

The CPI-W only cleared that milestone in January 2011. Through June this year, CPI-W shows retirees in line for at least a 3.2 percent COLA next January, with inflation from July through September still to be measured.

For traditional indices like the CPI-W, BLS creates a market basket, using spending patterns for the covered population, and tracks inflation over time based on the overall change in the price of the basket.

The knock on such indices is that they overstate inflation through “substitution bias,” ignoring how consumers respond to price changes.

For example, if a family spent $100 last month on beef and the price doubles, their cost of living won’t actually rise by $100, economists contend. Instead the family will buy less beef and more of something else like chicken.

CPI-W assumes consumers buy the same basket of goods regardless of price. Critics say it fails to capture behavioral changes that soften the blow of higher prices through purchase of relatively cheaper goods.

This issue surfaced 15 years ago in a study of the CPI known as the Boskin Commission report. Since then BLS changed how it calculates CPI-W and another index, CPI-U, which is used to adjust tax brackets and poverty thresholds.

But the BLS changes could only address substitution bias within product categories, to capture how consumers might buy more of a regional brand of hot dog versus a more popular national brand.

Economists say CPI-W and CPI-U still ignore “upper level substitution” which occurs across product category, as when consumers decide to buy more apples when the price of oranges rises.

The C-CPI-U, which BLS established in 2002, addresses this, tracking not only prices but changes to a representative market basket month to month. It then “chains” months together to calculate overall cost of living.

Adopting the Chain CPI to adjust entitlements has been recommended by every group looking for ways to address the federal debt crisis.

That includes two bipartisan commission reports from last winter; Vice President Joe Biden’s debt-relief working group of Republicans and Democrats, and the “Gang of Six” senators whose blueprint for combining spending cuts and tax increases won an enthusiastic nod late last month from President Obama.

Besides providing a more accurate measure of inflation, the C-CPI-U would save roughly $300 billion on entitlement spending over just the first decade after it took effect.

It has its critics, however. They argue the Chain COLA ignores the fact that quality of life is impacted if consumers replace products they prefer with products they can better afford.

For individual federal retirees and social security recipients, the Chain CPI would dampen current COLAs an average of .25 to .3 of a percentage point per year.

If we assume over time CPI-W will show a 3 percent inflation rate, the C-CPI-U would be 2.7 percent to 2.75 percent. That difference is expected to grow more pronounced over time.

Let’s look at how a .3 percent difference would impact a retiree receiving retired pay of $2000 a month.

With a 3 percent COLA, retired pay would climb the first year to $2060 a month versus $2054 with a 2.7 percent adjustment.

After 10 years, the retiree would be drawing $2687.83 a month using CPI-W but only $2610.56 using C-CPI-U. The $6-a-month difference after a year becomes a difference of $77.27 a month over decade.

BLS itself doesn’t endorse using one index over another for adjusting federal entitlements. But Steve Reed, a BLS economist, helped put perceived strengths and weaknesses in perspective.

“Economic theory certainly suggests that demand for a particular good is related to price. As price goes up, compared to other goods, we tend to demand less of it,” Reed said.

The Chain CPI strives to capture the impact of substitution across product categories, Reed explained. It does so by measuring actual expenditures more often and readjusting the weighting of products and services in the consumer’s market basket.

“The weight arguably could be said to be more accurate because it is mostly free of substitution bias,” Reed said.

Expenditure data to support the Chain CPI isn’t available immediately however. BLS month-to-month can only make estimates and the index must be revised twice before it becomes final two years after initial publication. Critics contend that makes the Chain CPI unsuitable for setting COLAs.

Ken Stewart, another economist at BLS, said any legislation to move to the Chain CPI for adjusting COLAs “would have to have a mechanism for how those revisions would be handled.”
