crystal Martin, one of the silicone 7, oh that is a sad commentary.
 

Great new articles going up on the Manifest site this evening, check them out, we are opening a lot of doors to investigation and overview. The actual wep page site for the paper is being worked on also. So we are starting the ramp up to November and it will be no holds barred if they come to play they better bring the 42 bat cause the 32 ain't going to cut it.
 

Oh yeah, you could put duck tape around the mouths of the montley crew and they would still have leaks lol
 

OH Rodney.....your silicone 7 may have some bigs ones but their mouths are even bigger....I would think twice before having them run your campaign hehehe
 

Might wanna check with Goth, not sure kip is around town!
 

Sorry 959 contact confirmed by nice try. Again the corruption supporters prove themselves to be less then adequate verbal and intellectual adversaries. But thanks for playing.
 

You guys up to playing or are you going into moderator mode?
 

Hold one 1004...Read the next post quite interesting
 

post 10:12... WTF are you snorting Fairy Dust??
 

We bring you a quote from the great Edward R. Murrow, noted watchdog journalist from the 50's and 60's. He is discussing anonymous postings for his newspaper. And a severe situation with the Milwaukee sheriffs department, and brings into the firing line the local media not doing their job. If you put Lake County into Milwaukee you could not tell the difference. This is in part what we are changing.


when there is clearly a likelihood that there will be personal ramifications, we will protect the identity of our contributing writers. Since Sheriff David Clarke has shown a clear pattern of vindictive behavior against those who do not subscribe to his political philosophies and motivations, we are sure that Clarke would take action against any deputy or member of a deputy’s family should their identity be compromised. That being said, several sources have come forward to us now and in the past to request we expose some of these problems within the department. Since the corporate media has chosen to give Clarke a pass on his egregious behaviour and thereby failed in their duties as a watchdog, we are taking the opportunity to do what they should have done in the first place — bring to light a story which has long been kept from the public. The man who inspired Watchdog Milwaukee, legendary news man Edward R. Murrow.
 

Anyone havepics of Crystal martin? I'll pay big bucks for them
 

Also everyone, since the illustrious Mitchell supporters set their alarms for 200 in the morning, just to come post multiple posts of gibberish, we will go into Moderation mode late in the night, and go back to normal posting early each morning, and post whatever comments came in during that time. If you want something to post early in the morning, post it and we will put it up for you.
 

Dig the hammering, but can we stay away from the tampon posts. Just kinda makes us look bad, and we don't want the likes of that nuts antics to be representative of who we are. However if those photo's ever do become available, were in!! thanks.
 

You Promised!
 

Looks like Edward R. shut down the corruption boys cold. Boy intelligence will do that.
 

I know I know 1035 and we will make it up to you. We have so much fun to come!!
 

Who is 10:29? should be man comma you are an ass
 

Murrow is so 'has been' much like lovelace, dontcha think? or do you???
 

Man what have you been drinkin, there aint no 10:29 lmfao
 

please can we have a hint .
 

Hey ollie you can't look much worse than you already do, just sayin'
 

Must have been deleted, eh?? figures
 

Can you ask me again tomorrow? And right now I aint thinkin. Long Day......left my book at work so thought I would catch up on all the reading here. :)
 

i would have to say after last tuesday ollie is looking a lot smarter than the corruption supporters
 

I think it was about pics of Ringen's ex in her 'chaps' and spurs
 

Someones on their toes tonight lol....delete...delete.....delete! You should run for Sheriff, we need someone like you :). At least we know your doing YOUR job! 4x
 

So weak, you boys are so weak. Your play is so bottom end. You are such bottom feeders it is hard to imagine that level of ignorance, but you never cease to amaze us. lol
 

It should be noted that the juvenile public defender was prosecuted and convicted of having child porn on this thumb drive. While affairs are scandalous and immoral, they are not illegal and that should be considered when discussing that topic. The cover ups? The coverups are another issue. I suspect there is some truth to some of what is discussed here. However, you have to keep in mind that "knowing" something and proving it are two very different things. We also have to keep in mind that people make mistakes and sometimes deserve a second chance. Of course that depends on the nature of the mistake. A lot of things are not that black and white. When you are talking about that list of officer scandals, do not leave out Morshed. I know he tends to be a favorite of the regulars on here, but do not feel sorry for that man. If you are going to crucify someone for affairs, he should be at the top of your list. There are allegation of him planting evidence, recording overtime he did not work, etc. I personally cannot prove any of these allegations against him, but that does not seem to be necessary on this site. So either give all of them the benefit of the doubt or give none of them the benefit of the doubt. It has to go both ways. You cannot pick and choose because you like someone better than others. That seems to be the entire basis of your anti-Mitchell sentiment and maybe rightly so.
 

just keeping it real 1044, just keeping it real.
 

Yeah, we wouldn't want anything that wasn't now would we lol. No pun intended on the silicone 7 lmao. Your doing a great job on keeping it real, appreciate it! 4x
 

Thats alright son, just have your mother explain pubirty to you!
 

1045, you miss the entire point of Morshed. We have already acknowledged the actions of Mr. Morshed in the past. The point is that is not what he was disciplined for. He was attacked by Mitchell after he did not cooperate with the Dinius agenda of Hopkins and Mitchell. You should know that, and we take umbrage with your expose of trying to pigeon hole the make up and constitution of our site. We more then all the corruption supporters keep on point and go after the goal of now the final removal of Mitchell. Remember our success is not based on verbal postings we prove through our accomplishments. As an example our 3 endorsements came in 1st place from Wally to Rivero. So I would take a clear look at who we are and what we stand for before casting stones. You don't live in a glass house do you? Just wondering.
 

Why don't you ask mommy why she spends so much time with uncle rodney when daddys at work .
 

Well yeah I do. 3 sides to my house is glass. Just figured if anyone threw stones at it that I would just call my buddy perdock to come clean it up. Then I would call the lumber place and order new ones and have them put them in. I would report the stone thrower in hopes that my buddies at the station would give em a free pass to stay outta jail, otherwise they would have to call Rob Brown to bail them out under the legal 2% or maybe for a favor! Hmmmm, boy do I have some benefits eh
 

Please remove post 10:56 - Let not go there!
 

I absolutely do not live in a glass house. Do you? As you are casting way more stones than I am. I actually agreed with some of your points, if you read my post carefully. I was simply pointing out a lack of consistancy in pointing finger at some while maybe not being so harsh with some favorites for the same kind of behavior and for the record, Morshed was disciplined for his on duty affair with a fellow employee. On duty being the key phrase there. He was demoted. That is just not what he was ultimately terminated for at least not in and of itself. Could it have been a culmination? I don't know. I am not privy to his personnel file and nor should I be.
 

Oh Please post 1104 you can try to spin this any way you want to. We all know why Morshed was terminated. Lets not try to color the ocean pink.
 

I am building my house out of stones . So keep them coming .
 

Awww comon Ollie, I really like pink
 

June 23 County Registrar plans public manual talley at 9am.
 

regular programming..Good morning Lake County....
 

Good morning to you Lovelace.
 

Jon, good luck in your future endeavors, it was nothing personal with me, we don't even really know one another, I just think you made a few awful decisions and exercised some poor judgment and felt I had to speak out. RG

My thoughts exactly RG, he really did a horrible job here.
 

hoppy you are a bafoon and you lack morals and ethics . You really suck in the courtroom . Thankfully the people have fired your lame ass .
 

Jon got ran over by the Mitchell bus. Jon should have stood up to Mitchell in the Dinius case. Everyone knew Mitchell was protecting his buddy Russell Perdock.
 

hoppy didn't have a clue . Hopefully mitchell kissed him first .
 

Yes Jon was hit by the Mitchell bus and Mitchell was as the wheel. The Dinius case opened peoples eyes, to the lame ass Sheriff Mitchell and to D.A. Jon Hopkins. Hopkins needs to tell the truth, about Mitchell and his boys.
 

The scary part is how did hoppy pull the wool over moonbeam's eyes . Is hoppy smarter than moonbeam .
 

Moonbeam only reviewed the reports. No interviewing witnesses, etc.
 

hoppy through his ignorance has exposed mitchell's crimes and will bring the house down .
 

The other end of the lake has it's problems too. Why did Clearlake Police Chief McClain fire Officer Ray Brady. Could it be in retaliation for Officer Brady, the only black officer, supporting Rivero for sheriff. I think so. This good ole boy racism has to stop. Officer Brady didn't deserve to be fired because Lt Craig Clausen is trying to save his late father's boss' job. This web of back stabbing has to stop. Ray Brady is a good officer and helped my son when he was in trouble and is just wrong. I am mad as hell because this is evil. Shame on you McClain and Clausen!!!!!! and Mitchell!!!!!!!
 

This is one of Lake County's Finest...DEPUTY BRYAN SMITH that got popped by CHP last night. He used to work at the jail, then became a Deputy. He was a tweaker when he worked at the Jail. CHP don't play well with the other Agency's They took Ol Bryan to Redbud Hospital... the 2 CHP were out numbered by about 20 SO who were trying to get a "Professional Courtesy" for their boy. Sorry, No Dice. They took poor Bryan all the way to the Purchasing Dept. to draw his blood, to give him some "Privacy". He was wearing his work Pants and a T-Shirt. Lets hope he was leaving work, and not headed to work! I think the Booking Photo speaks for itself. Isn't it comforting to know that the men hired to Protect and Serve us... could just as easily KILL US? Thank God Garcia got to him first. 2 Legal BA Kits were drawn. One for the SO, one for CHP. So, there can be nothing left to question. What will be fun.. is when they find out what other substances were in his blood?!

http://lakesheriff.com/bookingdetail.asp?booknum=38519

THANK YOU OFFICER GARCIA FOR DOING YOUR JOB AND NOT CAVING INTO THE PRESSURE & INTIMIDATION TACTICS OF THE LCSO. I LOVE MY CHP BOYS!

Hey Mitchell, better pop another Antacid and take another Xanax, it just keeps getting better!!
 

There is no doubt of the many problems that exist in the Clearlake proper area. We have said in the past that we will be expanding our focus after we finish the job of Mitchells final removal from our county. At that point we will be turning our focus to the CHP and local city LE's such as Clearlake, amongst many other issues that need to be addressed. We had discussed the Brady situation, and our question was if there was staff reduction based on budget cuts, was he in line by seniority and his number was up or what?

Then why would I want to talk to Kip? If your not going to let me post. Not exercise my 1st amendment rights. You let the most subjective, mean, vicious anonymous posts stay up here and yet censor mine.

If Rivero wants to campaign for sheriff fine, good luck to the man. My ONLY problem is the way it is being conducted. If he becomes Sheriff he has my support because he will then be the Chief law enforcement officer of the county. Just stop all the attacks. Jheez!!

My life is to full to stay on here all the time. Iv'e moved on with my life since my experiences when I was younger. This is all sort of bringing it up again and I really don't like the way it makes me feel.

StaMarine
 

Good job officer Garcia, thanks for treating him equal and not above the law. Your a 10 in our book.
 

Oh, and Brady is a fine officer. I met the man and I really like him. He will be missed.

The CPD of today has come a long way. I don't understand why he's gone.

I was really passionate about police work when I was younger, I loved serving the community.

Whatever..

SM
 

I owe Lovelace a huge apology. The other day I posted that I thought it was unfair that Stamarines posts were being deleted but now I see why. He claims to be seeking intellectual debate, but I now see he's really just looking for a fight. There is a huge difference between debating and arguing.

Kip has reached out to Stamarine, and it seems to me that if he were truly interested in debate he would have taken Kip up on his offer.

So I apologize. Thats what I get for trying to play fair with a Mitchell supporter. Lovelace you are doing a great job keeping Mitchell and his supporters on their toes. Carry on!
 

This is very important, concerning the DUI arrest of SO Bryan Smith. In the booking sheet at the above link, they have left his occupation off the booking sheet!!! Every other citizen on the arrest records has the occupation listed. They are trying to keep this covered up, and have been caught. We have reporters attempting to contact, Mitchell/Bauman to see why that was done. The CHP officer knew something may go wrong with all the SO's there, and had his own blood taken for cross reference out of concern for possible tampering. We will update you with further information. Officer Garcia excellent job way to stand your ground.
 

By the way we finally got Sta Marine in contact with Kip, although for some reason it took him several days. We have come to the conclusion that he should contact Kip and clear the air with him, prior to letting him place further posts. As you can see from the above post of his that we left up, it is the same old diatribe as usual, we will leave it up for now, as at this point most are just bypassing his comments.
 

We have just attempted contact with Captain Bauman, we have left a voice mail for him to return our call as we had a few questions for him concerning the arrest of So Bryan Smith.
 

This is the booking information as you will notice no occupation was listed.

brady is one of the oldest cops at clpd. there running him out. and they spread lies about him. this is bs
 

Sure wish we could get some more information or a statement from officer Brady. Anyone who can assist in this regard let us know.
 

Brady was not fired for any other reason than racial profiling, He has been with the dept for many years, He is being used as a scapegoat.
 

Look what theyve done to Silks. I heard that the cheif was sheriff somewhere else and he was beat in election by a black man. Now he is taking his revenge on Silks and officer brady. everybody in town has been biting their tonges but now its time to scream. This has been wrong for a while. We need a new cheif and city council.
 

Hats go off to CHP and Garcia. Thank-You for doing the job that you are there to do. No special treatment for SO Smith! and clever to get the additional blood draw. Guess there will be no getting around this one although they all were at the hospital trying! So my guess is, Mitchell will use the guy as a example now that he has fallen behind at the polls. But my guess also is, it really won't matter cuz we have ole Rodneys MO already.
 

Ya and quite interesting that they did not list his occupation on the booking page, every other citizen who for what ever reason gets arrested, has their occupation listed, but we have none for this SO. Why are you trying to hide this information from the public Mr. Mitchell.
 

I have heard that the election signs only have to be taken down in areas where it is specified. Since it is an ongoing election, signs in the county can stay up. Anyone know the specific rules?
 

Wow, sorry to hear about Smith. I am glad CHP is treating him the same way they would have treated the rest of us. Smith seemed to be one of the better ones of the bunch. By his booking picture he looks pretty "&*%@&* up". Now Mitchell is going to scream "see we are treated the same as every other citizen"! Yeah right, this one time. No doubt Smith will get four months of "desk duty" just like they gave CO David Lance when he got a DUI in Ukiah awhile back. Good job Garcia! Good job CHP. We better see Smith's occupation on his booking sheet and his mug on the front of the Record Bee the same way they did to that school teacher.
 

Thats if hoppy even charges him . In 30 days he loses his drivers license and I would hate to see him driving around . wtf twenty officers at the hospital ,were they all on duty and who was patroling the county .
 

Well your going to see it on the Manifest in short order, They are not treating him like any other citizen that is for sure. Would a bunch of SO's come to your aid if the CHP pulled you over. Not! And you can bet they would put your occupation up on the booking sheet wouldn't they. Also he should go on immediate Admin leave, if anyone knows of this not happening please let us know.
 

Did he have his weapon on him and if so why wasn't he charged for carrying while intoxicated .
 

Interesting: Was LE Officer Bryan Smith on duty when he was arrested 6/15/10 21:49. ?
Seems that he arrested a Wesley Wayne Tolleson Booking #38504 on 6/14/10 at 21:16, same hour that Bryan Smith was arrested the following day. I think he might have been on duty, unless it was his day off.
 

You can not make this up , Mitchell the world is watching do you think you should make a statement .
 

He was on duty, in a patrol car and crashed his patrol car into another vehicle. It was the victim occupants who called 911............
 

Here is an interesting tid bit we are looking at.our inside people at Redbud said he had on his uniform pants and a T-shirt. So it would appear he was either going to work or coming off work. Boy either way if that is the case it would not paint a pretty picture. Unless he wears his uniform pants on his days off?? Hmmmmm
 

Someone should tell the Press Dem about this guy Smith. What a story! Wonder if the Bee and LCN will cover it? Did you all hear about the Mendocino County Undersheriff, I would guess he was number 2 in department (but on leave)? From Press Dem:

Details emerge in arrest of Mendocino County undersheriff

By MARY CALLAHAN
THE PRESS DEMOCRAT

( page of 3 )

Mendocino County Undersheriff Gary W. Hudson came forward to Ukiah Police and volunteered information that resulted in his arrest for suspicion of felony domestic battery Monday, law enforcement authorities said.

Hudson, 53, was arrested after a verbal argument with a 49-year-old woman became physical, resulting in a pushing/pulling match, Ukiah Police Capt. Justin Wyatt said.

Hudson ended up with scratches on his upper body, and the woman, with whom he has a domestic relationship, had a scalp injury, Wyatt said. It did not require medical treatment.

A 26-year veteran with the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office, Hudson has been an advocate for women and children, serving as chairman both of Project Sanctuary, an organization dedicated to the end of violence against women and of sexual abuse, and the Mendocino County Policy Council on Children and Youth and Child Abuse Prevention Commission.

He also has “an unblemished record,” said Sheriff Tom Allman

“It's a very unfortunate situation,” Allman said Wednesday.

Hudson already was on leave from the sheriff's department for apparent health reasons when the alleged domestic violence episode occurred.

He has since been placed on administrative leave and is the subject of both criminal and internal affairs investigations, Allman said.

Ukiah Police Chief Chris Dewey called the sheriff directly to report Monday's events, and Allman eventually spoke with Hudson directly. He would not disclose the contents of their conversation.

Wyatt said Monday's incident unfolded at the couple's former Ukiah home, and that Hudson “came pretty much straight here” to report it.

He arrived shortly after 1 p.m., and the woman was interviewed two hours later, Wyatt said. Hudson was then contacted again and was determined to be “the dominant aggressor.”

He was arrested and booked into the Mendocino County Jail on Monday evening, but soon bailed out, posting $25,000 bail, authorities said.

The alleged victim, meanwhile, got approval from a county judge for a protective order that prohibits Hudson from contacting her, police said.
 

Press Dem article continued:

Hudson has taken a series of leaves from his county job for apparent health reasons since 2006, when he dropped his candidacy to replace then-Mendocino County Sheriff Tony Craver.

The former president of the Mendocino County Deputy Sheriff's Association and long-time chief of personnel and internal affairs, he was a captain with the sheriff's office — and paid a captain's salary - but had served in the capacity of undersheriff since Craver appointed him after first taking office in 1999.

Craver, who retired early in 2005, asked county supervisors to make Hudson interim sheriff. But since Hudson already was declared a candidate for election to the post, the board appointed Capt. Kevin Broin.

Hudson dropped out of the race a few months later and took leave from the department, and Broin decided to run for sheriff instead.

In addition to his work with the sheriff's office, Hudson acted in several plays with the Ukiah Players and was chairman last year of the Mendocino County Policy Council on Children and Youth and Child Abuse Prevention Commission.

As a member of the Project Sanctuary board for nearly five years, he'd been known to don heeled pumps for the local Walk A Mile in Her Shoes event, a men's march to raise awareness about sexual assault and general violence, and was featured with Craver in a Lifetime television documentary called “Until the Violence Stops” in 2004.

Asked to comment Wednesday, Dina Polkinghorne, executive director of Project Sanctuary, said, "I haven't even wrapped my head around what happened. I'm just really hearing about it this morning."
 

Glad to see at least Mendocino County knows just how to handle a case! I do give the officer kudos for going right in to report whatever may have happened! He is human and apparently he knew somehow in someway he crossed the line. I'm sure the gal provoked him, and he is probably regretting what took place. We will watch and see!
 

Everyone please hold on any speculation on the incident with officer Smith of the So and his arrest last night, we are gathering significant information that changes the picture we will report to you in a little while.
 

The Manifest has just finished obtaining all available information concerning the incident last night with SO Smith and we will be placing an exclusive article on the Manifest within the next several hours. Please stand by for that and we will announce the articles posting here on the blog when it is available to the citizens.
 

Here is what LCN printed:
A Lake County Sheriff's deputy was arrested for driving under the influence of prescription drugs late Tuesday after he crashed his patrol car into a parked vehicle.
The California Highway Patrol arrested Bryan Troy Smith, 33, of Hidden Valley Lake shortly before 10 p.m. following an investigation of the incident, officials reported Wednesday.
“As of this morning he was placed on approved leave,” Capt. James Bauman of the Lake County Sheriff's Office said regarding Smith.
Bauman said Smith had just started his swing shift Tuesday when the collision took place.
CHP Officer Steve Tanguay said Smith was on duty and driving in his patrol car shortly before 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, traveling northbound on Mountain Meadow Road North within Hidden Valley Lake, when the crash occurred.
Smith allowed the patrol vehicle to veer to the right and struck a parked vehicle, Tanguay said.
The CHP received both calls from the public and the sheriff's office regarding the crash, with the sheriff's office asking the CHP to handle the investigation, according to Tanguay.
When CHP officers arrived on scene, Tanguay said they observed that Smith was showing signs of
impairment.
After an evaluation, CHP Officer Adam Garcia arrested Smith for suspicion of driving under the influence of prescription medication. Tanguay said a blood sample was obtained from Smith and he was transported to the Lake County Jail for booking.
Tanguay said both vehicles sustained minor damage from the crash, which reportedly occurred at a low rate of speed.
Smith was booked just after 11 p.m., with bail set at $5,000, according to jail booking records. He posted bail later and was released.
Bauman said Smith began as a correctional officer with the sheriff's office in 2002 and was promoted to deputy in 2007.
“We want the public to know we support whatever actions CHP took last night and whatever charges they determine need to be filed with the district attorney, if at all,” said Bauman.
 

Well as you will see when you read our article on the Smith incident there is a bit more to this then meets the eye or then is in the LCN piece. We will inform you when it is posted.
 

re. Smith...there is a high incident rate of chemical dependency with uniform professionals, i.e. medical, law enforcement, dentists
Just like the diversion program that was established in California for RN's in the mid 80's, I would hope there is such a program in place for law enforecment also.
Remember that this is a recognized disease and requires treatment, just like any other.
If this is the case and the problem with Officer Smith.
 

Can't wait to hear what you've got. I truly believe that if it were not for this Blog LCN would not have even reported this story. keep up the good work!
 

he looks completely schnockered in his booking picture .
 

By looking at the booking photo and perseption of Smith and how he looks, either he took one to many pills, had a all nighter, or just plain rolled outta bed and into his partol car! He looks about as bad as Rhonda Rullys Photo!
 

Curious as to what the BA test will show! Now my question as a taxpayer is, he was on his way to work, so apparently he is one of the priviledged ones as far as taking home a county car. Wrecks it and once again tax payers dime! What was he even thinking when getting into this vehicle? Thank God it was only a minor incident.
 

Bet they find more than perscription pills in his blood! If in fact they truly are perscription! Smith is a tweaker from way back, even when he worked in the jail. Yep, just one interested party here waiting on those results!
 

Hope Lovelace keeps this one in the spotlight, cuz I know some skeletons will be falling out of Bryans closet!
 

Dan Noyes on the case yet ?
 

Hey good work from the Hidden Valley Citizens too, for calling the CHP and notifying them of deputy's Smith's accident. As you can see this isn't another Sheriff Officer being investigated by his own LCSO buddies. Way to go, thanks Officers Garcia and Tanguay.
 

press democrat has it. Everyone's watching this one.
 

Why are you guys patting CHP on the back? It's policy of the department to have another agency investigate or take the report......CHP is just a bunch of over paid tow truck drivers...
 

440 bs. the chp weren't going to allow this case to become corrupt-
 

4:40 Don't talk policy and procedure here- Perdock and Mitchell never followed policy or procedure on the night of 4-29-06.
 

Exactly......I wasn't saying they would let it become corrupt....but every one is talking like they did something fantastic, they work for the state and not the county...They make way to much money for what they do, so my last comment was because I am a little bitter...Every one is furloughed but the men in tan..WHY?
 

What is wrong with the time line?????CHP Officer Steve Tanguay said Smith was on duty and driving in his patrol car shortly before 5:30 p.m.//When CHP officers arrived on scene, Tanguay said they observed that Smith was showing signs of
impairment.//Tanguay said a blood sample was obtained from Smith and he was transported to the Lake County Jail for booking.//The California Highway Patrol arrested Bryan Troy Smith, 33, of Hidden Valley Lake shortly before 10 p.m.//// Smith was booked just after 11 p.m.,
 

Wonder if it might be wise for Rodney to put a pre-breath check in the patrol cars so the driver must pass the test before the car will start.
 

Ok here we go with our article it is up on the Manifest, you can comment there or here, the significant information left out of the LCN article was in several areas. First our article describes the curious fact that Officer Smiths occupation was left off of the booking sheet and it has now been corrected, you will read our discussion with Captain Bauman concerning that. Also you will notice that both the press release and the LCN article mentioned only one blood sample, actually in our conversation with officer Tanguay of the CHP he confirmed two blood samples were taken, one for the CHP investigation and one requested by LCSO for their internal investigation. You will also notice we raised the question of several officers being at the hospital and an alleged attempt to secure Smiths release, we are in the process of attempting to secure interviews concerning this report.
 

4:40 Chp is world class law enforcement agency . I bet their officers are not loaded like Lcso . This can not be the only officer that abuses pain meds . I wonder who the dope doctor is ?
 

If ALL Rivero supporters are dopers and drug dealers then by extension ALL deputy's are Dopers???????
 

Thank You to CHP officer Garcia! A LCSO is on duty driving DUI, crashes the patrol car in to a parked car and damages both cars. Can you say idiot. He could have killed someone! Hey Mitchell you have a big problem so just add that to your long list of failures. Rod you should really be thankful that the deputy did not kill any one!
 

I'd like to share something I just posted on Topic... Please consider what I'm saying and don't delete this.

What's with all the censorship happening here? What happened to Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press? When we comment on articles or create our own posts, doesn't that (sort of) make us the press? I've all but given up on reading the Record Bee - it seems everytime something is posted that they don't agree with, they delete it! WTH!?!? In this day and age aren't we supposed to educate ourselves and read as much as we can about something before we form our opinions? If we're constantly only getting half the story and from the same half of people who share the same view, then what's the point? We don't ALL have to agree on everything ALL the time! Life would sure be boring if we did! C'mon RB, leave the posts up - even the controversial ones! Unless there's profanity or a direct threat against somebody, what's the harm? Are you afraid people might start thinking outside this bubble you're trying to create and realize there's so much more to the stories you "report" on? Same goes for the "Watch" blog... let us all share our views without being censored, deleted, and bad mouthed.
 

No Sergeant or other Deputy observed/reported smith's intoxication WOW. He was driving a Patrol car. He could have killed someone. Mitchell only hires
close friends and protects his buddies.
 

The blood test results will tell the truth.
 

Post 626 based on the context of your comment we are in agreement. However, and we are speaking only to our own situation on this Blog, we are not speaking for the RB or LCN, we have some clarification to put forth. We are constantly under attack with posts and comments that have no place on this blog nor for that matter on any other site. By this we mean that the posts concerning everything from peoples underwear to Rivero being a Cuban drug dealer, are not germane to the purpose of this site nor what the general discussion topics are. To maintain a sense of professionalism and effectiveness posts are removed. As an example, if a question is put on the site and asks Mitchell supporters to give 10 good examples of Mitchell's leadership, and we get an answer that says "He is a leader because he hates all you dopers who run this shitty lying site, then we are really not getting anywhere and the comment doesn't support the ideals of discussion and debate. RB's and LCN's reasons for post removals are far more self centred and protective of some phony image they want to maintain, or defensive of their connections to the LCSO etc. We hope that gives some perspective for you, and helps to explain the difficulty of protecting freedom of speech, but yet allowing for an effective exchange of ideas.
 

The Manifest is going to be following up on the blood test results and the continuing investigation by the CHP, their investigation will answer a lot of questions and we can trust there is no collusion between them and the LCSO.
 

Brady was not fired for any other reason than racial profiling, He has been with the dept for many years, He is being used as a scapegoat.

Look what theyve done to Silks. I heard that the cheif was sheriff somewhere else and he was beat in election by a black man. Now he is taking his revenge on Silks and officer brady. everybody in town has been biting their tonges but now its time to scream. This has been wrong for a while. We need a new cheif and city council.

I just got home from work and read the blog quiet frankly I am ticked off for what has happened,
why does the Chief fire the only black officer we had in Clearlake? Brady sure helped My kid who could have gone wrong but with Brady's no nonsense and quiet demure in talking to My kid he made an impression and My kid finished school this year with good grades and I credit the impact of his change on Brady.
It really steams me to have a GOB network going on at CPD the place is TOP HEAVY LITERALLY . I am not a fan of the Chief and his side kicks aka lunch guards. Can't We as citizens have any impact on the cops cutting lose the good ones and letting the riff raff stay.
Sorry to vent but this really ticked me off

5:52....I know a couple of CHP that have been arrested...What utopia do you live in? There are dirt bag CHP officers just like all the rest of the agencies.....For a "world class agency" they sure don't know how to do real police work like corners cases and 273.5 cases.....Once they starting doing real police work then we will talk..
 

Sounds like LCSO feathers got a bit damp eh! LMFAO
No cover up on this one boys! He will get whatever he deserves and the people will see to it. Remember, your being watched at all times LOL, bet you just hate it when the shoe don't fit right eh
 

3:37 PM////What happened from 5:30 pm to 10:00 pm????? 4 and one half hours to do what????
 

Hey Danny good post. The biggest thing for us right now is trying to get a hold of officer Brady. Now it may be that he has a lawyer and cannot say anything. We just don't know the answer to this. If anyone has any information on this situation aside from what we already have we sure would like to do an article in the Manifest. Danny, we understand your anger and we are with you, we want to do what ever we can to help, and look into the situation.

This is the Lovelace group
 

3:51, No there is no program/help offered to the Deputies. I know a couple of them that actually asked for help for alcohol/stress problems. They were denied help by both the SO and Lake County. It is sad considering the stress these people go through on a day to day basis.
 

"To maintain a sense of professionalism and effectiveness posts are removed." Puhleaze. This site censors posts to preserve a single view. Were you maintaining professionalism you'd accept criticism, roll with the punches and learn how to be professional. Sadly this blog and the new blog are grade school product from adults.
 

I agree it'll be quite interesting to hear the time the blood was drawn. If the accident happened at 525 and arrested by 6-615 and then taken to Redbud for the draw then you would expect that to be around 1900 or 700pm-but no later than 730.
 

827 you fail to acknowledge our comparison to what post may be removed, if you can't engage in conversation and acknowledge the information presented to you, how would we ever engage in meaningful exchange. You know that the validity of what we said is true in regards to some of the posts we choose to delete. You surely can't be saying that everything posted must stay up. The site in that case would turn into a circus.
 

Bruce, you seem to be unable to engage in any meaningful exchange. Anytime something is posted that you do not like it is taken down. You act like Mitchell, only allow things that please you. If you want to be respected why not allow any post. Don't give me that line that you only take down posts because they aren't valid. You censor this site and the fake paper to your advantage and then brag about all the hits you have had. I'll bet your hit numbers include all of the posts that are removed, am I right? And then you go into moderation mode so you can have lots of time to rearrange things.
 

I heard Brian Smith Was a huge Rivero supporter and did this to make Mitchell look bad .
 

10:00 go start your own blog . We are quite happy with lovelace . Say it SHERIFF FRANCISCO RIVERO and the Defendant Rodney Mitchell .
 

The Record Bee will have Smith's DUI on the front page of the paper in the morning. There will also be something about Mendocino county's #2 deputy sheriff that was arrest for smacking his girlfriend around. Yesterday was a proud day for law enforcement,,not! Yet to hear the Mitchell boys tell it and not just once but MANY times...everyone on this Blog are dopers, losers and criminals. Ain't my face on the wed site of the Hill Road Hilton. So hey DSA, how does it feel? Karma is such a bitch...and then she has puppies!
 

Well post 1000 the comment count is, as seen on the blog when a post is removed the number diminishes so your first admonition is incorrect. At this point in total comments archived in the system, we are at appox. 17,000 stored, That is not a number including deleted posts. So your hyperbole is less then impressive. Do this, to back up your claim of rearranging things. Take a snap shot of the blog when we go to moderation mode and when it goes back to normal, and show us what we change.

You can cast all the stones you want, but you haven't really made a point yet. Do you want to tell us how to run our site and our paper? It is never a perfect science, but you seem to think your perspective is the only valid one. That does not lend itself to communication, tell us one thing about our admonitions of Mitchell that you agree with, just one thing if you support him, or if you don't tell us what we shouldn't say about Mitchell. What ever, tell us something aside from your grave concerns of how we manage our sites.
 

Start their own blog? That's a laugh, They can't even get a discussion on Topix started that anyone will follow."Insert Laughter Here" LOL
 

Sex drugs and Rock and roll . Thats the way LCSO rolls .
 

I have worked with Officer Brady for the past seven years and I am appalled at the way the administration has treated him. I know he excelled in the position of School Resource Officer and helped train several of the officers, one of which is the current K-9 handler. I know anybody who CAN LEAVE, is leaving that rotten place. Allan McClain is a bigoted tyrant, who surrounds himself with yes men and women. His administration preys on the weak (job probationers) and those who are unable to fight back.

I know Officer Brady will be fighting the good fight, but I would would be fighting dirty. His battle is not with the patrol personnel, but the administration!! Come and join officer Brady in his battle, as he will be taking his fight to the city council in a public forum. Everyone is invited and bring your opinions with you. Fire Allan McClain...and get rid of the good ole boy network.
 

Glad that aint my face of that booking sheet of Smiths lol. Looks like Mommy sang him a lullaby :). Open them there eyes boy, can't you see your being watched lmfao! What a disgrace to the Department. As if it doesn't already look pretty bad in itself. You boys are doing a great job champaigning for your Daddy! Bet he is mighty proud of the bunch of you about now, NOT! Once again laughing stock of Lake County _Mitchell, we see you got it all under control, PULLEASE.......come out of denial! 4x
 

No, That's Not "It".
There was ONE CHP OFFICER (Garcia)
(as that shift has only 1 Officer per Car)
And Aprox 12 LCSO. Some in plain clothes. At any given time there was 6 who stayed with Deputy Smith, while the other 6 Roatated, taking turns "Babysitting". Several Deputy's/Sgt's were standing around the corner of the Purchasing Department discussing the "situation" and how best to "deal" with the mess. And CPD had nothing to do with this incident, and if they were there.. It was just to "Rubber Neck" at yet another LCSO Train Wreck.
And if you don't believe me.. why dont you just contact the Security Supervisor at Red Bud. Once Again, I can say "I told you so!"
Kudo's to Officer Garcia for standing tall and doing the right thing. I Love my CHP Boy's. The ONLY Honest Law Enforcement in this County.
 

Personally and in my opinion, I think the whole LCSO should be drug tested. Bet you'd be surprised just how many are under the influence and putting others lives at risk because of it!
 

Officer Garcia supports Mitchell for sheriff. It's on Mitchell's endorsement page.
 

Rodney Rodney Rodney you got some splaining 2 do . I think you need to drug test the whole department .
 

10:56 that is funny ! You can not make this up .
 

1056 And yet that didn't prevent Garcia from doing his job. The election has shone Mitchell's supporters that they don't have to fear him any more. There will be more of us coming forward soon.
 

them
 

11:06 It doesn't prevent any of them from doing their jobs, and none of them fear him, they respect him. They are professionals, (With few exceptions) and professionals support the person they know is the best candidate. More who coming forward? Mitchell supporters? I couldn't agree more.
 

Go to bed 11;14 Martin, you DSA hag bags won't get ol' Smithy out of this one.
 

1114 How do you cover up 4 and one half hours if your not trying to affect the lab results? What was happening between the accident time and the blood test time?????
 

I think all candidates for Sheriff need to be drug tested. All of em.
 

Does Magic Fairy Dust show under a ultra violet light?
 

Can't refute the point so you attack the messenger. Classic ad-hominem.

11:29 all that matters is that the blood test (breath doesn't work in drug DUI's) be taken within 3 hours of the arrest. As for the total time...Time of crash, response time, investigation, transport to hospital, wait for blood test, any follow up that needs to be done for internal affairs, then booking. Could easily take 4 hours.
 

With the arrest of Mr. Smith, the BOS needs to STOP allowing Deputies to take cars home. Deputies needs to report to the Main Office or a Sub station to get a car.
 

GOOD NEWS SHERIFF MITCHELL !!!!
no on-duty Deputy arrested last night.
 

525-949 to much time wasted there.

CURRENTLY DETERMING IF INTERNAL INVESTIGATION IS NECESSARY !!! see Record Bee, Deputy arrested. http://record-bee.com/ci_15314541
 

corruption supporters are trying to spin the brian smith fiasco . aint going to work mitchell when are you going to step up to the plate and take responsibility for your department .
 

Looks like Mr. Smith is not going to get the Perdock Pass .
 

There is an excellent new article on the Manifest done by Lenny, it is a real eye opener on Tasers, Mitchell, Rob Brown, and the BOS..Take a read when you get the chance.
 

speaking of drug testing, if there was random drug testing on all SO, wouldnt Bryan Smith's issue have come to light BEFORE he crashed a patrol car?

Truck drivers and school bus drivers are required to submit to random testing, shouldn't those we entrust to enforce the law, carry a badge and a gun be required to be drug free as well?

Mark Burkdoll
 

Brian Smith was testing Drugs that is what got him in trouble . It is hard to believe that mug shot was shot five hours after the accident . It has been hinted on this blog that there is a huge prescription drug problem at Lcso .
 

I think you are correct Mark, and it appears as was already mentioned it may be time for the BOS to review the policy of allowing officers to take cars home. In the interest of public safety the citizens must have assurances that sober and straight officers are hitting the road. Perhaps at this point it is time to require them to check in at the station then take possession of the patrol cars.
 

Where is Mitchell ? Once again when there is a problem in his department he has not stepped up to the plate and shown that he is a leader instead he hides and delegates .
 

Wonder if it was Mitchell who ordered the Occupation be left off the booking sheet and did not tell Bauman??
 

Was Brian Smith the First loaded deputy to crash a car or just the first to have CHP respond . Ooh Rodney you got sum splaining 2 do .
 

Just a little blurb on sign regulations related to the elections: The basic rules are, all signs must be taken down 10 days after the election closes. This is on county and city lands. Campaign signs can be put up no sooner then 90 days prior to the voting day. This is not something where on exactly day 10 sign enforcer people are out handing out fines and ripping down signs, as there is a little lee-way given. But these are the guidelines so everyone should try to comply with the general time lines.
 

I know the election is very important but apparently there are problems in Clearlake too when they fire one of there oldest cops.

I like the lunch guards comment.
 

Agreed Mr. Burkdoll. Implementation of this type of policy needs to be set forth. I'm sure after Rivero hearing about this lastest fiasco he will do just that! Bos has already shown us that they are standing clear of making any decisions what so ever when pertaining to LCSO, its high time the citizens put their foot down to this and make it clear that this is definetly needed!
 

Why isn't Rivero working?
 

Because he is not getting paid, your buddy Mitchell gave him time off for the campaign, and continues to grant that leave. There for dumb ass, Rivero is sacrificing his own income and creating his own debt for the sake of the citizens and to help us fix the terrible state this county is in. If you have an issue with this maybe you should go ask Mitchell why that is.
 

I am not justifying Brian Smith's actions by any means...But I worked with him for years and he is a nice guy, I hope he gets the help he needs if in fact he was loaded....He could have hurt someone real bad and he ruined his career for that I am not going to defend him but working in law enforcement it is very stressful. So stressful that sometimes officers resort to this stuff to get through the night or day. I can tell you that he will feel bad for his actions unlike Perdock or Garzoli...Brian has a heart...Just not good choices...So I don't want to put him in the same catagory as the other two...
 

I take prescription medications and I sure hope that if that should ever happend to Me that people will not judge me until all disclosures with what I took and if my body had a bad reaction, too many are so ready to jump on the kick the Sheriff dept in the Butt any chance we get, I took have known Bryan but only for a short while and never did I see or suspect anything but a top notch cclean and sober deputy, lets give the guy a break, all of you want one so why not wait and see
 

Why isn't Rivero working?
# posted by Anonymous : June 17, 2010 1:34 PM

his non friends on this blog as they deny any affilation with him...say he afraid of Friendly Fire, that is no joke that is what they posted. do you seriously think any of the deputies who did not give him a vote really want him back in any capisity, besides it would play into his wannbelawsuit of a hostile work enviorment.I doubt he will ever be back, you know he will not win the election.
 

I think those are fair enough statements on post 228 and post 212. I think at this point what happens is that Mitchell has now created such a terrible image of his department that even good cops who make a mistake are hit pretty hard. This is the thing that is difficult for the Mitchell supporters to understand, "image is everything" and Mitchell is destroying that image. We as a group have said over and over that one of the reasons for doing what we are doing is to allow the good cops to grow, allow the good cops to be freed from this terrible association with Mitchell and that by his own actions he is hurting the good cops in the department.
 

YES! Post 2:36!!! There are so many good law enforcement whose lives are put on the line by the antics of the Mitchell MOB and don't think that they are not at risk unless they goosestep. The LCSO corrupt have SHOWN with full force what they can and WILL do to anyone who reports or does not comply to "their wishes".
Mitchell and his entourage are not what we want or need and they should be diminished to nothingness as an exampple to the nation of what the voice of the people means. They shouldn't have taken the oath if they were not going to follow it and what they have done is no less than treason to the USA.
 

Word 3;09 word!!!
 

This is the Lovelace group we have finished gathering further information on the Smith situation and our source at the hospital who will remain unnamed has provided additional information concerning what happened at the Red Bud Hospital on Tuesday night. We have confirmed that there were at any given time 12 uniformed or plain clothes officers who were seen at the hospital. There was only 1 CHP which was Garcia.

Mr. Smith was taken by request of the SO's to the purchasing room of the hospital instead of the lab location to have his blood drawn, for quote "privacy" our source indicates this never happens and it was an unusual request.

Our source also indicates that 2 SO's were observed in quiet conversation which the source believes was concerning trying to get Smiths release. Which as we now know did not happen. When our source approached the 2 SO's they became totally quiet and stopped their conversation.

This is our latest up date and follow up on the Smith situation. We will provide further follow-up as it becomes available.
 

Oh by the way everyone in case you didn't notice Captain Bauman used the terminology "approved leave". We have questioned several former and current SO's and that is a new terminology which has never been used in the past. This is an attempt on Mitchell's part to get away from the terminology Admin. leave, which now has such a terrible meaning to all the citizens. So we have the beginning of the Mitchell spin machine trying to change the publics perception. Sorry it isn't going to help nice try at spin, bottom line is Smith is on Admin. leave.
 

My dear Republicans,

Peace officers can write speeding tickets. Sheriff Deputies can cite you. It's not vary common, they normally have no ticket quotas. However they can. Like LA County; contract cities like Lancaster etc, ya they have motorcycle units etc. They operate like a city PD. Sonoma, Lake, Mendo, Marin chances are of your'e not drunk, a tweek, fail the attitude test or all the above you stand a good chance of being released with no ticket. Having a valid license, insurance and a currently registered vehicle helps too. when I speed, I pray I am stopped by a Sheriff unit. CHP can go either way, hella cool or letter of the law; no chance in hell. I think there on quotas. CHP up here are way way cool!!Good bunch. City PD's? oh god. I duno, that depends were you are I guess. Crap shoot.

The last thing you generally want to do is tell the officer they can't do something ; )
 

652 Sounds like you carry a Mitchell get out of jail free card.
 

No, I just act respectful. Sheriff deputies are generally more concerned about warrants, drugs, more serious crimes. There not generally on ticket quotas. If you get a ticket from one you were probably a jackass. Sorry, just trying to help..

SM
 

You have the right to remain silent. Sorry, just trying to help..
 

LOL funny post 744, very good!!
 

Great minds think alike.
 

Nope, sorry post 744, the court has recently ruled that you must assert your right to remain silent. You sit there like a stump, they can continue to question you till the cows come home. The dissent of course pointed out that the majority was using convoluted reasoning to require that you say you are remaining silent.
 

Hey better think again............................Rivero is on APPROVED LEAVE. he won't be back to work not anytime soon too much pot stirring he did with his GOB running amock remarks, no one wants him back, he is not the person for the position. His main objective is to get just cause and sew the Hell out of the county of which he has no intention of serving unless you call a law suit serving.
 

Ahhh your boring 931, but we will leave your post up, for the sake of showing the highest levels of Mitchell supporters. Your words fail when heard by those that have evolved beyond your reach. The world has passed you by, and you can't catch up.
 

Is that all you got 9:31- Surprise Surprise keep running Mitchells campaign the way you have been and you a shoe in for removal. Everytime you try to impress the public one of the boys just counter acts that. Keep up the great job in helping to place Rivero in Office!
 

928 Did you miss the part where 707 continues to sit there like a stump after I advised him of his rights? So I extend the same advice to you.
 

Seems to me the GOBS are running amok . You can not make this stuff up . Does Mitchell take charge of the situation or does he hide in his office and hope everything just goes away .
 

now jj temper temper.
 

Prescription drugs have become the drug of choice for many and now are the number one overdose cause . Dui's from prescription drugs have increased dramatically in the last few years and are prosecuted and sentenced just like an alcohol dui . Make no mistake they are highly addictive and if addicted you need to get help .
 

Let's remember something, they say prescription drugs because that is what Smith told them. They could confirm no alcohol, but it takes a blood test for the other, so we have no clue what is going to come back on the tests. We can speculate till were blue in the face but only the tests are going to tell the story.
 

Wow, whos drinking the koolaid tonight? Someone hit a nerve? Hate to tell ya but there is more than koolaid in that glass! Back at ya big boy!
 

Wonder how Team DUI feels about this one? Think I will call to get a comment on this!
 

We have received late news that the Smith incident may have more twists to it then meets the eye. It seems that virtually non-stop 12 hour shifts are happening at the sheriffs office, there are reports surfacing that the officers are getting burned out and burned out quickly, we got this information today and this could be a factor in incident with SO Smith. Also it seems that a droopy eyed look is a normal look for SO Smith and we should use caution in laying blame based on a mug shot. There may be some connection we have not discussed in regards to why the LCSO requested a blood sample of their own. We are looking further into this.
'
Indeed it is true that these long shifts some working 6 days in a row at 12 hours a day is taking a toll on the officers. Regardless of what the ultimate outcome for SO Smith is. The management of these SO's at this pace is not good for the department and not good for the moral and well being of the officers.

Approaching page break
 

Flash Flash Flash we have breaking news this late night:please go to the Lake County Manifest we have a breaking story on two CO terminations one on Tuesday and one on Wednesday. There appears to be some house cleaning going on in the SO since the primary loss to Frank Rivero. The stories of these two individuals suggests something is not quite right in the SO these days. More Terminations will they ever stop.

This is the Lovelace group
 

Did anyone take note that when the topix forum that were bashing MIA with Conhule aka pkrhead and WOW stopped when Mitchell was "upping" for sheriff? Funny why MIA was supposed to be a 5150 and that means that she doesn't get access to any report that were made against her. That means that fictitious reports could be made without her knowledge and any law agency could act on them.
Why such a reaction to someone who clearly followed the law and reported the child porn as required? What officer contacted her for more information and when? Why would this put her under attack when the documents were turned in to Mitchell and the DA? Even the BOS had these documents. How could this be?
 

Good news Sheriff Mitchell, no on-duty Deputy Arrested for DUI last night.
 

Oh man just read the article on the Manifest...2 more terminations, what the hell is going on???
 

To little, to late for Sheriff Mitchell
 

Doesn't this make him look worse then ever? And why these people was it related to the past incidents? What a mess.
 

ABC 7 Has a news article about the Deputy getting a DUI. Bad news Rodney again.
 

I will labor the point again, so sorry to you but am sure your belete if you wish to.Those in this government have been told they rule with lying, cheating the citizens and in doing so will come to a end,for nothing last if you lie ,cheat or steal, That is "nothing" Power corrupts. This local government has corrupted itself for so long it knows not the wrong to their action And done so with no shame. Now you have been caught. Thanks in part to Lovelace and that is a big part.
 

Some one posted on the Manifest that they were wondering who is running the jail, is it code enforcement now????
 

someone said ABC Deputy DUI
http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=news/local/north-bay&id=7504661
 

Go to CBS 13.com/local/sheriff.deputy dui.2. 1757635.html They have a small picture of the car posted with a nice little write up.
 

Yes a short write up at the channel 7 site, oh Rodney in the big news again. This is more then just normal numbers. Regardless of what the final outcome is of the Blood, which could be anything, it is just another number on the Mitchell hit parade of problems.
 

Nothing has pleased me more than those that would lie and cover the lies up. have karma set in.
 

Yup same short write up on Channel 13, the photo is actually just a stock Getty photo, not really of the patrol car itself. none the less another news agency picks up the story. That is something. This site posts the story first on the early morning after the incident. Then LCN picks it off of the site and posts a story, Record Bee picks it up the next day, Then Channel 7 and channel 13, we read it first on this site. Keep it up Lovelace you guys are doing a great job.
 

There is a new article on the Manifest this morning it is by a new columnist that has joined us on the Newspaper, this individual many of you may know his name is Al Duncan. His first article is an excellent first part in a series on the Gulf oil spill. We at the Manifest our very happy to have Al on board with our paper and we look forward to his future contributions. Here is a shot Bio on Al, please go to the Manifest and read his first posting.


"I have lived in Lake County for 17 years and I love it more today than the first day I discovered it in the spring of 1992. Whether it is the white-capped mountains in the heart of winter or the gorgeous fall colors creating a patch-work-visual on the Lake County hillsides; or the fresh, new greenery sprouting in the spring, or the shimmering blue lake in the heat of summer, there’s no other place in the world more appealing than Lake County, California."
