LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lake County Registrar of Voters said Monday that she and her office were misrepresented in recent campaign advertising in support of a marijuana cultivation initiative.
Registrar of Voters Diane Fridley said the Lake County Citizens for Responsible Regulations sponsored by the Lake County Green Farmers Associations paid for a political advertisement in both the Lake County Record-Bee and the Penny Slaver “which was an erroneous and inappropriate message that appeared to indicate that the Lake County Registrar of Voters supported Measure D.”
Fridley added, “This advertisement was printed without my permission and I would never publicly support or oppose a political issue in Lake County.”
The ad stated that, “according to the Lake County Registrar of Voters” Measure D accomplishes items including land use regulation and legal controls, things that Fridley said she has never stated about the measure.
Fridley said the sample ballot booklet her office printed and distributed includes the full text of Measure D, County Counsel Anita Grant’s impartial analysis of the initiative, and the arguments submitted in favor of and against Measure D as well the rebuttal arguments.
“The Registrar of Voters responsibility is to provide unbiased voting information to voters and not to promote any measure or candidate being voted on in Lake County,” Fridley said.

KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The Taylor Observatory-Norton Planetarium will offer viewings of the historic transit of Venus on Tuesday.
The observatory will offer the viewings from 2:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.
When Venus passes directly between Earth and the Sun, it will appear as a small dot gliding slowly across the face of the sun.
The Tuesday transit will be the last one until 2117.
The observatory's solar telescopes will allow a great opportunity to experience this event. For your safety, solar viewing glasses will be provided.

Taylor Observatory-Norton Planetarium is located at 5725 Oak Hills Lane, Kelseyville.
CLEARLAKE, Calif. – A man who allegedly forced his way into a Clearlake home early Sunday morning died following a struggle with the home’s resident.
Randy Robinson, 30, died from injuries he received in a fight with 32-year-old Danne Petras, according to the Clearlake Police Department.
Clearlake Police staffers have remained on scene – located in the 14000 block of Lakeshore Drive – conducting the investigation since the early morning, Police Chief Craig Clausen told Lake County News.
According to a report from Sgt. Tim Hobbs, at 5:30 a.m. Petras was asleep inside his residence when he heard someone attempting to break into the residence.
Petras got up and went to investigate. As he approached his front door, Robinson allegedly entered the residence through the door he had just forced open, Hobbs said.
A struggle ensued between Petras and Robinson, during which Robinson suffered several injuries and became unresponsive, according to Hobbs.
A neighbor who heard the commotion called the police. Hobbs said Clearlake Police officers arrived a short time later and contacted Petras in front of the residence.
Police found Robinson on the floor inside the residence, Hobbs said. Medical personnel from the Lake County Fire Protection District were dispatched to the scene and arrived a short time later.
Robinson was transported to St. Helena Hospital Clearlake, where he was pronounced dead, Hobbs said.
Petras sustained several injuries during the struggle and later was treated and released at St. Helena Hospital in Clearlake, according to Hobbs.
Hobbs said Clearlake Police detectives responded and took over the investigation.
So far, police have not revealed if any weapons were used in the fight that fatally injured Robinson.
Hobbs said the exact cause is unknown, but it does not appear to have been from a knife or gunshot wound.
The agency also has not yet offered a motive for the alleged break-in.
Hobbs said it appears at this time that Petras acted in self defense and that he was justified in using force to protect himself while inside his own residence.
As is standard in this type of case, once the investigation is complete it will be sent to the District Attorney’s Office for review, Hobbs said.
The Clearlake Police Department is asking anyone with information regarding this case contact Detective Peterson at 707-994-8251.
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – If you have old unpaid traffic tickets, June is the last month to qualify for a special ticket amnesty program that is attempting to collect millions of dollars in unpaid fines across California.
The program – which ends Saturday, June 30 – offers a 50-percent reduction on qualifying old unpaid traffic infraction tickets.
“The amnesty program is a golden opportunity for drivers with old unpaid traffic tickets to clear their records at a reduced amount,” Margie Borjon-Miller, Administrative Office of the Courts, said in a written statement. “And it helps the courts, the state and local governments to generate revenues that would have otherwise gone uncollected.”
While no specific number will be available until after the program concludes, state finance officials estimate that millions of dollars could be collected. A final report to the legislature on the amnesty program is due this fall, according to state officials.
The Administrative Office of the Courts reported that superior courts throughout California already have resolved thousands of cases and collected hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid fees and fines as a result of the program, which began Jan. 1.
In the program's first three months, the Superior Court in Fresno County had collected about $92,000, the Tulare Court about $266,000, the Kings Court about $64,000, the Madera Court about $17,000, and the Stanislaus Court generated approximately $194,000 in revenue, the Administrative Office of the Courts reported.
From Jan. 1 through March 31, Lake County collected $61,989, according to Treasurer-Tax Collector Sandra Shaul, whose department oversees collections duties for the county.
In April and May, the county collected another $25,283, Shaul said. That's a five-month total of $87,272.
Shaul estimated that the county is likely to collect about $120,000 by the time the amnesty program ends.
But that’s just a fraction of what’s owed to the county, according to Shaul.
“The total delinquent court debt is monumental; 34,707 cases totaling $29,947,000,” Shaul told Lake County News. “Of those, there are 12,794 amnesty eligible cases totaling $11,878,283.”
Most of the delinquent cases are more than 10 years old and have been sent to at least two collection agencies not including the tax collector, Shaul said.
“The oldest fines ones have been to three collection agencies,” she said. “There are more new fines each month than fines paid.”
Parking tickets, DUIs and reckless driving citations are not eligible, the Administrative Office of the Courts reported. Drivers should contact the superior court in the county where the citation occurred to verify if they are eligible for the amnesty program.
While the program ends June 30, the last business day of the month is Friday, June 29.
Anyone with questions about amnesty or whether they have eligible fines, can call the Lake County Collection Division at 707-263-2583.
Shaul said all amnesty payments made between now and June 30 must be in full with secured funds.

As fire season arrives, state fire officials are reminding residents that clearing dead grass and brush 100 feet from homes is a critical step in preparing for fire season.
As the fire danger increases, the unsafe use of power equipment can actually start new fires, according to Cal Fire.
Every spring, Cal Fire and other fire agencies remind homeowners of the importance of cutting down overgrown vegetation, but stress that how they clear their defensible space is just as important.
“The spark from the metal blade of a lawn mower against a rock can easily ignite a wildfire,” said Chief Ken Pimlott, director of Cal Fire. “While it’s important to clear dead grass and brush, we don’t want homeowners doing the right thing the wrong way.
Two weeks ago, a wildfire known as the Banner Fire was sparked by unsafe equipment use, charring 5,321 acres just east of Julian in San Diego County.
Cal Fire officials say the fire serves as a reminder of how dry conditions are and how extra vigilance is needed to prevent wildfires.
Homeowners are urged to take advantage of this week’s cooler weather to ensure they have cleared all dead or dying vegetation before increasing temperatures return.
Cal Fire offers the following tips to prevent fires from equipment use:

The sweet-spicy aroma of nasturtiums fresh from the garden gets my juices flowing, and not only because of their pleasant scent.
They smell like dinner time to me.
These peppery relatives of watercress and mustard have been used in culinary applications through the centuries. Nearly every part of the plant is edible – blossoms, leaves, stems and seeds – making them a natural for edible landscapes.
If you’re lucky enough to have these bright beauties in your garden, they should be ripe for the culinary picking from late spring through early summer and beyond.
Native to the Peruvian Andes, nasturtiums were brought to Europe by Spanish conquistadors in the 1500s.
Less than a century later, they were eaten in France to stave off hunger during tough economic times under King Louis XIV, who grew them in his garden, as did Thomas Jefferson in later years.
After another 100 years or so, Victorian-era Europeans turned to nasturtiums to provide the vitamin C that staves off scurvy, something that was rampant at the time.
Between the early 1800s, when a volunteer plant was first found in upstate New York, till the early 1900s, when wild-growing nasturtiums became established in the western United States, this hardy perennial spread through the North American continent.
They’re the darling of gardeners, as they grow in almost any soil and are self-seeding. Once a nasturtium plot is established, you’ll have an abundant harvest for years to come.
They bloom in colors ranging from buttery cream to deep mahogany, with bright reds, yellows, and oranges most commonly seen. Nasturtium’s bright flower faces grow on vines and can be seen crawling along the ground in thick garden beds or climbing over trellises.
The name nasturtium reflects its distinctive flavor, coming from a Latin phrase meaning “twisted nose,” which refers to the reaction of one’s nasal passages upon eating the peppery plant.
I wouldn’t go that far (my nose has remained well in place upon every ingestion), but some of the plant’s largest lily pad-like leaves can be quite severe in their piquancy, similar to mature mustard greens.
Such flavor is welcome when its leaves are combined with other greens to add spicy flavor to a salad, or used as a peppery green on a sandwich.
Like its relative, watercress, nasturtium greens make wonderful tea sandwiches when layered over cream cheese on hearty bread.
Pesto may be made with the leaves, which should first be quickly blanched in boiling water to neutralize their strong flavor. After blanching, immerse greens in an ice water bath to cool and stop cooking process before making pesto.
Saucy nasturtium greens may be added to potato soup, where mild, starchy potatoes balance their potentially strong flavor.
The blossoms have a somewhat peppery flavor similar to the leaves, though much milder and sweeter, and they have far more to offer than their common use as a graceful garnish.
When stuffed with cream cheese and chives (or other herbs, if you like), they make a wonderful appetizer. Guacamole works well as a filling, too.
The blossoms can be added to salads, floated in drinks, made into vinaigrette, tossed atop pizza, become a star in risotto, and even be featured in spring rolls along with carrots, cucumbers, mint and the like.
Along with other edible flowers, they decorate and flavor traditional Korean sweet pancakes called “hwajeon” as a celebration of spring.
Nasturtium-lemon butter may be made by combining the blossoms with softened butter and a bit of lemon juice and lemon zest.
And lastly, when eating the blossoms out of hand in the garden, be sure to look for a longish spur just under the flower head. These are full of nectar and are a sweet treat when eaten. As kids, my brother and I used to pinch them off near the tip and suck the nectar out.
Nasturtium seeds may be pickled and made into mock capers (true capers are the pungent bud of a Mediterranean bush) for a flavorful addition to a variety of dishes.
The seeds, as well as the blossoms and leaves, may be a component for any number of nasturtium vinegar recipes, where the plant’s flavors are infused into white vinegar.
As to nutrition, nasturtium leaves are full of vitamin C and iron, making them a nutritionally dense food.
Since nasturtiums are said to be useful in breaking up respiratory congestion, nasturtium “tea” (technically, a tisane) might make a powerful part of one’s arsenal against colds. Simply steep fresh nasturtium blossoms and leaves in hot water and sip when flavor is infused.
Another reputed benefit is that nasturtiums encourage the formation of blood cells and are therefore given as a blood purifier and detoxifier.
The brightly-colored blossoms contain anthocyanin, a powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants scavenge free radicals from the body, making them an effective defense against cancer.
When harvesting nasturtiums, choose leaves and blossoms that appear fresh and show no sign of browning or withering. And remember – the larger the leaf, the more pungent the peppery flavor.
If you don’t have nasturtiums handy for picking, culinary-grade nasturtiums are sold at some farmers’ markets, in specialty stores, and on the Internet. Be sure they’re grown for comestible purposes and haven’t been sprayed.
The same is true for home gardeners; if you plan to use blossoms for food, avoid using pesticides.
Below is my twist on a recipe for stuffed nasturtium blossoms. You can use it as a starting point for your own creative ideas, and the recipe can be adapted for stuffing the mildly-flavored squash blossoms which should appear in your vegetable garden later this summer.
And before I go, did you know nasturtiums played a minor culinary role during the World War II era? Since imported black pepper was difficult to come by during the war years, nasturtium seeds were dried and ground as a substitute for the spice.
If you’re adventurous, you can make your own by drying the seeds and grinding them in a spice grinder or a dedicated coffee grinder.
Considering their piquant palatability, I have no doubt they were a more than adequate replacement!
Stuffed nasturtium blossoms
16 nasturtium flowers
8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
½ tablespoon chopped fresh chives (chive blossoms may be used instead)
½ tablespoon chopped herbs (for example, thyme, lemon verbena, lemon basil or any combination)
Zest from about half a lemon (to taste; adjust as you like)
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Pick flowers as close to serving time as possible. Make sure they’re clean, dry, and pesticide-free. (It wouldn’t hurt to check for bugs, too!) Store flowers in fridge until ready to use.
Thoroughly mix chives, herb(s), lemon zest, salt and pepper into cream cheese. Adjust seasonings as desired. Fill a pastry bag with the mixture.
Handling flowers gently as they bruise easily, fill each flower using pastry bag with 1 to 2 teaspoons of cream cheese mixture. Pull petals upwards to cover the cheese as much as possible and press lightly into cheese.
Refrigerate and served chilled.
Note: A sturdy zipper-sealed bag with a corner clipped off can serve as a makeshift pastry bag.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – A man serving a state prison sentence for a 1986 Upper Lake murder has died just as he was due to be released on compassionate grounds.
Carl Hampton Wade, 66, died of natural causes at 3:20 a.m. Thursday, May 31, at the California Medical Facility in Vacaville, according to Luis Patino, a spokesman for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
Wade was sentenced to 16 years to life for the shooting death of John Karns.
Wade shot Karns in the chest, then came back to shoot him in the head. He buried Karns' body the next day, then fled to Colorado, where he shot and permanently disabled another man.
Last month, the First Appellate District Court of Appeals ordered that Wade be released to live out the remainder of his life with his sister in Chico, as Lake County News has reported.
The appellate court overturned Lake County Superior Court Judge Andrew Blum's ruling last November that Wade should remain in prison due to concerns about public safety.
Blum also had doubts about the medical evidence presented in the proposal for Wade's release, which included statements by doctors that he had less than six months to live.
The appellate court's unpublished May 17 decision had ordered Blum to release Wade.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Richard Hinchcliff said the matter never made it to the local court calendar for a hearing because Blum reportedly signed Wade's release order last week.

UPPER LAKE, Calif. – The town of Upper Lake celebrated its Western heritage during its annual Wild West Day celebration on Saturday.
The daylong event featured plentiful food and family entertainment, as well as a parade down Main Street and popular Western skits featuring shootouts with the Blue Canyon Gang every hour from noon to 3 p.m.
The day's schedule started with an early 7 a.m. pancake breakfast to benefit the Upper North Shore Incident Support Team. For lunch, there was plenty of tri-tip barbecue at the Odd Fellows Hall.
Live music from “The Goods” band provided outdoor entertainment, along with the Clearlake Clickers dance group and the Costume, Beard & Bonnet Contest.
Vendors of local businesses and community groups were kept busy selling food, drinks, jewelry and crafts while enjoying sunny, breezy weather.
Old time displays of an antique rope machine and vintage hand pump were especially popular with children, allowing the hands-on experience of operating “appliances” used in the Old West.
