The California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) has confirmed a mountain lion attacked a 63-year-old man who was camping northwest of Nevada City.
The attack occurred in the early morning hours of July 1.
The man was traveling through Nevada County on a planned hiking trip and decided to stop for the night to sleep.
He was lying on a sleeping bag out on a tributary to the Yuba River when, at approximately 1 a.m., he was attacked in his sleeping bag for what he reported to be between one and a half to two minutes.
He said the animal attacked, bit and clawed him through his sleeping bag, and also bit through the cap he was wearing and his clothes.
The animal ceased the attack, looked at him from 15 feet away for another 15 to30 seconds, then ran into the night, according to the report.
The man drove himself to a hospital in Grass Valley where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries and later released.
DFG wardens responded to the hospital and verified that he had suffered severe scratches and puncture wounds.
They collected several articles of clothing and his sleeping bag, which were analyzed at DFG’s Wildlife Forensics Laboratory in Sacramento.
Wardens also responded to the attack scene where they found lion tracks. Specially trained dogs attempted to track the lion but were not successful.
They also found the remains of one domestic cat with injuries consistent with a lion attack.
The effort to find the lion continues, DFG reported.
California has now had 15 confirmed mountain lion attacks since 1890.
LAKEPORT, Calif. – St. John’s Episcopal Church earned an Award of Recognition for its restoration and preservation by the California Heritage Council, California Trust for Historic Preservation (CHC).
The award was be presented at the St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco last Thursday, June 28.
Other 2012 honorees are Edgehill Mansion a.k.a. Dominican Heritage & Alumni House, San Rafael; the Leland Stanford Mansion (interior), Sacramento; Luther Burbank Home & Garden Center, Santa Rosa; Murphy Windmill, San Francisco; and a 1934 Packard custom Dietrich convertible, Morgan Hill.
“The California Heritage Council is dedicated to preserving and honoring places and buildings which have given quality and distinction to the cultural life of California,” said President Christopher Layton of Calistoga.
St. John’s was nominated by CHC Lake County representatives Lynne and Bernie Butcher of Tallman Hotel in Upper Lake. Tallman Hotel earned the award in 2007.
Parish Priest Fr. Leo M. Joseph, O.S.F., of Kelseyville, and Senior Warden Barbara Knight and Vestry member Anne Barquist of Lakeport traveled to San Francisco to accept the award.
St. John’s building was recognized as a point of historical interest in Lake County by the State of California Historical Resources Commission in 1989.
Although the property, with its historic building, is owned by the parish and held in trust for the Diocese of Northern California and The Episcopal Church, it is solely maintained by the generous support of local parishioners and friends of the parish with annual pledges and proceeds of the thrift shop, St. John’s Basement Boutique.
Through the Collier family roots in San Francisco, Mary Blackwood Collier commissioned brilliant young architect, Willis Polk, who a decade later was a chief rebuilder of San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake and fire.
Since most of Lake County Episcopalians at that time were of English stock, Polk designed what he called an “English country church” in native redwood, which local residents called a “miniature cathedral.”
The church is a wood-framed, shingled exterior is a unique expression of 19th century carpenter Gothic style.
The lych gate was designed by Richard Duce, a retired set designer from a major Hollywood studio. The gate is patterned after the one at Saint Mary the Virgin Episcopal Church in San Francisco.
The pews are made of solid redwood planks. The redwood burl altar table is original, as are the baptismal font and brass lectern.
The altar cross is a hand-painted replica of the San Damiano Cross, beloved by St. Francis of Assisi.
The two stained glass windows on either side of the altar, depicting the Christ Child and St. John the Baptist as a young boy, are typical of the late Victorian era.
The most recent additions to the church are hand-painted icons of Christ, the Virgin Mary, St. John the Baptist and St. George, located on either side of the sanctuary arch. They were transferred to St. John’s from the chapel at Little Portion Hermitage, Kelseyville.
There are eight amber-leaded glass windows along both sides of the church, which have a Venetian Gothic arch-shaped frame popular in 14th century England.
The beautiful stained glass window depicting the Good Shepherd and symbols of the Four Evangelists at the west front of the church was created in 1965 by Carl Huneke, Century Stained Glass Studio, San Francisco.
The presence and ministry of The Episcopal Church in Lake County since 1877, St. John’s is a visible, welcoming family of Christ, resolved to deepen the relationship with God.
All are welcome at St. John’s Episcopal Church Sunday services at 10 a.m., 1190 N. Forbes Street, Lakeport.
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA – A head-on collision between a Jeep Cherokee and a big rig early Monday morning seriously injured one driver and led to hours of traffic control along Highway 20.
The crash occurred on a curve along Highway 20 near Highway 16 – less than two miles from the Lake and Colusa County border – at 4:50 a.m. Monday, according to Sgt. Pete Montez of the Williams office of the California Highway Patrol.
Jesus Aguilar, 19, of Cloverdale, was driving a Jeep Cherokee eastbound on Highway 20 when he collided with a three-axle Kenworth semi driven westbound by 38-year-old Seth Gallaty of Red Bluff, Montez said.
Montez said Aguilar told officers that he thought he fell asleep. The next thing he remembered was the sound of the big rig horn.
Aguilar’s Jeep collided head-on in the westbound lane with the big rig Gallaty was driving, which was pulling a two-axle flatbed loaded with lumber, Montez said.
The Jeep came to rest in the westbound lane, while the Kenworth went off the south shoulder and hit an embankment, according to Montez.
After the big rig hit the embankment, the cab caught fire, Montez said.
Gallaty was able to escape the semi uninjured, Montez said. Aguilar’s leg was broken and he was lifeflighted to Enloe Hospital in Chico.
“We were real lucky all the way around with that crash,” said Montez, noting that the outcome had the potential to be far worse.
The highway was totally blocked for a short time. Montez said they then pushed Aguilar’s vehicle out of the road to get one-way traffic going.
He said Caltrans took over traffic control not long after the collision.
Eastbound traffic on Highway 20 at Highway 53 near Clearlake Oaks was blocked briefly until one-way traffic control around the crash scene was put in place, Montez said.
Montez said both lanes of traffic on Highway 20 at Highway 16 were expected to reopen between 1:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. Monday.

A newly released heat wave map created by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is illustrating the heat wave that is contributing to fires that are raging in Colorado and other parts of the western United States.
Among the major fires, the Waldo Canyon fire in Colorado attracted the most attention after spreading into Colorado Springs and charring hundreds of homes, but large wildfires also burned throughout Utah, Wyoming, Montana, New Mexico and Arizona.
A lack of winter snow cover and ongoing drought primed vegetation in these states for ignition. But in recent weeks, another ingredient for extreme wildfire emerged: heat. High temperatures dry out vegetation and decrease the relative humidity, making it easier for fires to ignite and spread.
The intensity and scope of the heat wave in the western United States is visible in the map show above that illustrates land surface temperature anomalies for June 17-24, 2012.
Based on data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite, the map depicts temperatures compared to the 2000-11 average for the same eight day period in June.
Areas with warmer than average temperatures are shown in red; near-normal temperatures are white; and areas that were cooler than the 2000-11 base period are blue. Colorado experienced the brunt of the heat wave and had eight large wildfires burning on June 28, 2012.
Wyoming and Utah—other states that have seen unusually hot weather-- together had nine wildfires burning.
Land surface temperatures (LST) are distinct from the air temperatures that meteorological stations typically measure.
LSTs indicate how hot the surface of the Earth would feel to the touch. From a satellite vantage point, the “surface” includes a number of materials that capture and retain heat, such as desert sand, the dark roof of a building, or the pavement of a road.
As a result, daytime land surface temperatures are usually higher than air temperatures.
This heat wave, like all extreme weather events, has its direct cause in a complex set of atmospheric conditions that produce short-term weather.
However, weather occurs within the broader context of the climate, and there’s a high level of agreement among scientists that global warming has made it more likely that heat waves of this magnitude will occur.
This Veggie Girl met a passel of delightful boysenberries on Saturday and she’s still smitten with them.
We’re in the midst of the delicious but fleeting boysenberry season, which runs until late July. Once a darling of markets and roadside stands in California because of their superior taste, boysenberries are now elusive and next to impossible to find because of their near nonexistent shelf life.
If you do find them, chances are they’ll be homegrown or a local farm product. They’re just too delicate for supermarket shelves, at least in their fresh form.
Deep purple and resembling overly large blackberries, ripe, fresh boysenberries are extremely soft and thin-skinned. They leak juice (I found puddles of it in the bottom of the bag after purchasing mine at a farm stand) and are prone to quick decay.
A combination of several berries, they owe their rich, complex flavor to their ancestry. Their sweetness and floral aroma is reminiscent of raspberries, and their winey, wild tang hails from native blackberry species.
It’s best to eat them, freeze them, cook with them, or process them for jam, syrup, or wine the same day they’re purchased or picked.
Boysenberries are a recent addition to our food chain, only coming into existence just before the Great Depression of the last century.
Their story is part of California agricultural history, with beginnings in nearby Napa County and later development in the southern part of the state.
There’s some mystery surrounding their exact origin and ancestry, but it’s generally believed that boysenberries are a cross between raspberry, blackberries and the loganberry (a hybrid berry developed by Judge James Logan of Santa Cruz in 1881).
While some speculate that the original boysenberry hybrid may have been developed by Luther Burbank, Rudolph Boysen, a Swedish immigrant and horticulturist, is credited for the berry.
Boysen experimented with crossing raspberries and blackberries on his Napa Valley farm, and when he moved to Anaheim in 1923, he took with him some plants that bore large, splendidly-flavored berries, which he claimed to have bred.
His interest later turned to farming oranges, but thanks to George Darrow of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Boysen’s abandoned berry experiment survived.
Darrow, who was also a berry breeder, traveled from Maryland to California to investigate reports of a large, reddish-purple berry that had been grown on Boysen’s northern California farm.
Darrow enlisted the help of Walter Knott, a southern California farmer who was known as a berry expert. Together they rescued several of Boysen’s frail vines they found growing in a weed-choked field.
Transplanted to Knott’s farm in Buena Park, Calif., the vines were nurtured back to health and eventually began producing berries.
In 1934, Knott named the berry after Boysen and introduced it to the public. Boysenberries quickly became wildly popular, and Knott’s roadside farm stand grew famous for the jams and pies made from them.
It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that the boysenberry helped launch the amusement park known as Knott’s Berry Farm. The berries are still featured throughout the park as décor, a nod to the its beginnings.
Boysenberries may be used in much the same way as blackberries.
Bake them in a pie or muffins; use them in custard; replace them for strawberries in shortcake; scatter them in pancakes; add them to a salad; use them as a topping for waffles or French toast; swirl them in yogurt; top ice cream or granola with them; or toss them into a smoothie.
Peaches or apricots are a wonderful match for them in a cobbler or tart, and a little lemon zest provides a nice flavor balance when using them in desserts.
As Knott discovered, they also make fantastic jam.
Boysenberries are high in vitamin C and fiber, and contain high levels of anthocyanins, antioxidants which help fight free radical damage in the body. These are what give boysenberries their deep purple color.
They contain ellagic acid, a compound shown to be a potent anti-carcinogen, anti-viral and anti-bacterial.
Today’s recipe is for cool, refreshing boysenberry-mint sorbet, perfect mid-summer fare. While boysenberries are delicious in pies, cobblers, and the like, save such desserts for cooler weather when a hot oven is a welcome fixture in your home.
If fresh boysenberries are not available, frozen berries, which are readily found in most markets, will suffice.
Boysenberry-mint sorbet
4 cups fresh boysenberries ¼ cup sugar ¼ cup water Handful of mint (or lemon verbena)
Note: Begin the night before you wish to serve the sorbet.
In a small saucepan, dissolve the sugar in the water over low heat. Add the mint or lemon verbena and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and let sit overnight in the fridge to infuse flavor.
Meanwhile, process the boysenberries in a blender or food processor until smooth. Put into an air-tight container and let sit in the fridge overnight. (If desired, mixture may be strained through a sieve before refrigerating to remove seeds.)
The following day, strain the syrup and mix it with the pureed berries. Process the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Freeze at least four hours before serving.
As an alternative to using an ice cream maker, freeze the mixture in a freezer-safe pan, stirring with a rubber spatula or raking with the tines of a fork every 30 to 40 minutes until frozen. This method yields a rougher textured product with large ice crystals known as granita, coarser than smooth sorbet, but equally refreshing.

CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Clearlake Police officers – with the help of the agency’s K9 – took a Clearlake man into custody on Saturday after he allegedly shot at his two roommates.
Kenneth Leslie Johnson, 44, was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon and negligent discharge of a firearm after the incident, which police said took place just before 5 p.m. Saturday.
Sgt. Tim Hobbs reported that Clearlake Police officers were dispatched to a residence in the 13500 block of Arrowhead Road for a report of a subject shooting at two of his roommates.
When they arrived they found the two alleged victims, 47-year-old Scott Anderson and 61-year-old Jane Robinson, who were not injured but had fled their residence and were next door, Hobbs said.
Officers set up a perimeter around the residence as the suspect, identified as Johnson, was reported to still be inside the residence armed with a shotgun, Hobbs said. Additionally the road in front of the residence was closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
Hobbs said medical personnel from Lake County Fire were dispatched to the area and staged a short distance away as a precautionary measure.
After failed attempts over the next 30 minutes to get Johnson to come out of the house, officers and Clearlake Police K9 “Dex” entered the residence, Hobbs said.
Johnson was located inside of the residence in a bedroom and surrendered without resistance as Dex entered the room he was in, said Hobbs.
The shotgun used in the shooting was located, loaded within reach of Johnson, who Hobbs said was then arrested.
Johnson, whose booking sheet lists him as a security officer, was booked with bail set at $50,000. Jail records showed Johnson remained in custody on Monday morning.
Hobbs said the Clearlake Police Department thanked the community for donations to the K9 program.
Without those donations that completely fund the K9 program the purchase of Dex would not have been possible and the outcome of this incident could have ended much worse, Hobbs said.
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – On this July 4, Californians will observe the occasion with parties, picnics, and outdoor activities.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reminds motorists to be mindful of the speed limit, designate a non-drinking driver and always buckle up.
Independence Day is a Maximum Enforcement Period (MEP) for the CHP.
Officers will monitor motorists who are a potential threat to themselves and others.
The MEP begins on Tuesday, July 3, at 6 p.m. and runs through Wednesday, July 4, at 11:59 p.m.
“When celebrating Independence Day, the CHP wants you to be safe. When driving be sure to leave plenty of time to get to your destination. Most importantly, before heading out, insist everyone in the vehicle is wearing a seat belt and children are secure in safety seats,” said CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow.
Last year during the Independence Day MEP, 34 people were killed in traffic collisions in California. This was a significant increase from the 23 people who died in 2010, the last full year for which statistics are available.
Sadly, many of those deaths may have been prevented with the simple click of a seat belt, according to the CHP.
“It is alarming to know that more than 80 percent of the people who were killed in vehicle collisions over the Independence Day holiday last year may have survived had they taken the time to buckle up,” added Commissioner Farrow.
Driving under the influence is always a major concern for the CHP.
Last year, over the Independence Day weekend, CHP officers made 1,562 arrests for driving under the influence.
Motorists are reminded to designate a non-drinking driver before they celebrate to ensure everyone’s safety while on the road.
UPPER LAKE, Calif. – The Tallman Hotel and Blue Wing Saloon Restaurant have announced the lineup for their sixth annual Blue Wing Blues Festival Aug. 3-5, with a followup date on Labor Day, Sept. 3.
Starting at 5:45 p.m. each day, two top bands, including headliners Zydeco Flames, Daniel Castro, Mark Hummell and Kenny Neal, will perform on the veranda of the hotel with the audience gathered in the intimate garden between the hotel and restaurant.
“It’s a nice time of day and a great spot to enjoy world-class music,” said owner Bernie Butcher, who has put Lake County on the blues map with live music in the Restaurant on Monday nights in addition to the annual Festival. “With a gourmet barbecue dinner thrown in with the price of admission, people really seem to enjoy these evenings.”
“Our staff puts in a lot of effort to book the best entertainers, offer great service to hotel guests, come up with a special menu and set the place up so everyone can enjoy the show,” said Tallman Hotel Manager Susan Mesick. “But the rewards are there when the place is jumping and everyone is having a great time. We’re really looking forward to the event this year.”
Tickets are limited to 100 each evening and may be purchased directly at the Tallman Hotel, located on Main Street in Upper Lake, or by calling the hotel reception desk at 707-275-2244, Extension 0.
Ticket prices are $50 plus tax if purchased in advance and $55 at the gate.
The evening will open with the popular local band Twice as Good.
Led by Paul Steward with father Rich on rhythm guitar, this band puts on a high energy performance. Blues legend Charlie Musselwhite calls them “the real blues deal.”
Headliners on opening night will be the Zydeco Flames. With the charismatic Lloyd Meadows on washboard, the Flames have gained a reputation as the West Coast's premiere Zydeco band. It’s wonderful, upbeat New Orleans music that leaves the crowd hungry for more.
Saturday, Aug. 4
The evening will kick off with the “Queen of Boogie Woogie” Wendy DeWitt on keyboards backed by Kirk Harwood on percussion. DeWitt was chosen to represent Northern California as a solo performer at the International Blues Competition in Memphis last February.
DeWitt will be followed by the Daniel Castro Band, headed by one of the top blues guitarists in Northern California.
Daniel Castro represents the heart and soul of the San Francisco Bay Area blues scene. He played the Festival two years ago to a rousing ovation.
Sunday, Aug. 5
The show will open with the veteran Bay Area blues quartet Tip of the Top. With a style reminiscent of Chicago in the 1950s, this group was chosen to represent Northern California in the band category at the 2012 International Blues Competition in Memphis.
Headliners on Sunday will be Mark Hummel and the Blues Survivors.
Hummel is dean of the blues harp pros in the area and organizes the annual Blues Harmonica Blowout, touring the country with all the big names on the instrument.
Special guest with the Survivors for this show will by Little Charlie Baty on guitar.
Monday, Sept. 3 (Labor Day)
The final night of outdoor blues at the Tallman and Blue Wing will kick off with a solo set by Houston based Eric Taylor, who’s just recorded a CD with Lyle Lovett called “Live at the Red Shack.”
Lovett is quoted as saying, “I’m always the opening act when I’m around Eric.”
The Labor Day show concludes with one of the legends of the New Orleans blues scene, Kenny Neal and his Band. Neal is an acclaimed multi-instrumentalist widely renowned as a modern swamp-blues master.
He learned music at an early age from his father, the singer and blues harmonica player Raful Neal.
Neal still tours the country with members of his famous family sharing their unique New Orleans sound.
