CLEARLAKE OAKS, Calif. – Water system maintenance last week has resulted in water quality complaints from Clearlake Oaks residents, with the district offering an explanation of the situation and saying that the water meets safety standards.
Clearlake Oaks residents contacted Lake County News about the issue on Monday, describing issues not just with taste but also the smell of the water. They said the situation has lasted for several days.
That coincides with water system maintenance work that occurred last week, according to Clearlake Oaks County Water and Sanitation District General Manager Alan Gardner.
“Our chief plant operator has been on top of this and the drinking water is all within primary drinking water standards,” Gardner said.
However, last Friday the district changed out its carbon filters, which has to happen every three to five years, he explained.
Those carbon filters help with improving taste and smell, and controlling cyanotoxins, he said.
During the two to three hours the filters were being replaced, water got into the system that was not filtered, Gardner explained.
While he said the water is safe to drink, it lacked the finish that the filters give.
As a result, Gardner said he was having the system flushed of all water that didn’t go through the carbon filters.
He expected the water’s taste and smell would improve as a result within the next few days at most.
Gardner said the district has been receiving phone calls about the change in the water and have been explaining it.
As for how the lake looks this year, Gardner said they are now starting to get an algal bloom.
“Our guys handle them very well,” he said of the blooms.

CLEARLAKE, Calif. – A local nonprofit group has once again stepped forward to help Clearlake officials with a major cleanup project.
On May 24, Citizens Caring 4 Clearlake, or CC4C, began an abatement of an abandoned homeless encampment located on West 40th Avenue, north of the Highlands Shopping Center, according to Clearlake Code Enforcement Supervisor Lee Lambert.
Lambert said the abandoned homeless encampment was located in a wooded area throughout several privately owned lots.
Volunteers for CC4C, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to helping clean up the city, collected all of the trash and debris, Lambert said.
In addition, CC4C demolished a large “tent” style structure which had been constructed out of tarps. Lambert said all of the items were then placed on the edge of the roadway by CC4C.
Lambert said on May 26, CC4C completed the abatement of the abandoned homeless encampment.
All of the items which were collected and abated were placed on the edge of the roadway by CC4C and on May 29 officers from the Clearlake Police Department Code Enforcement Division removed all of the trash and debris from the edge of the roadway and disposed of it, Lambert said.
In total, Lambert said 1,740 pounds of trash and debris were disposed of, as well as approximately 400 pounds of metal recycling and 13 tires.
“This is just another example of the great things CC4C is doing in our community,” said Lambert. “Over the past few years, the City has joined forces with CC4C on several clean up projects. Currently, we are in the midst of completing several joint projects with CC4C. If it wasn’t for the volunteers from their organization, it would be impossible to complete these projects. We look forward to continuing these types of project throughout the city.”
Citizens Caring 4 Clearlake is a privately operated nonprofit organization which relies solely on volunteers and donations.
For more information on CC4C or to become a volunteer, please contact Barbara Christwitz at 707-995-0940.
LAKEPORT, Calif. – Sen. Mike McGuire’s legislation that would rename a portion of Highway 29 in honor and memory of the late Lake County hero Deputy Robert Rumfelt in his hometown of Lakeport received unanimous, bipartisan support in the State Senate.
SCR 92 is co-authored by Senator Bill Dodd and Assemblymember Cecilia Aguiar-Curry. After passing 38-0 in the State Senate, the Resolution will now move through the Assembly committee process.
“Deputy Rumfelt selflessly served his country and dedicated his life to keeping the hard working people of Lake County safe,” said Sen. McGuire. “His impact on this community is immeasurable and the contributions he made will be his lasting legacy. After all Deputy Rumfelt’s done for our nation and right here at home, the least we can do is honor his tireless work and sacrifice so generations will know about his achievements, bravery and big heart.”
For the past three decades, Deputy Sheriff Robert Rumfelt worked tirelessly to protect and serve his country and the greater Lake County community.
After graduating from Clear Lake High School, he answered the call to serve our nation by enlisting in the United States Marine Corps and earned numerous accolades for his honor, courage and commitment.
Deputy Rumfelt continued serving when he was hired by the Lakeport Police Department as an officer in 1995 and then as a Lake County Sheriff’s deputy in 2014.
In 2010, while taking a leave of absence from the Lakeport Police Department to serve as a police advisor to Iraqi law enforcement agencies in Ramadi, Baghdad, Kurdistan and Mosul, he risked his life during an IED attack on an Army convoy to save the life of a badly injured soldier.
On August 22, 2017, Rumfelt died in the line of duty following a struggle with a domestic violence suspect.
“Deputy Rumfelt was a true American hero, saving lives overseas with the United States Military, and protecting and serving his community in Lake County,” Lake County Sheriff Brian Martin said. “We’re grateful to work with Senator McGuire to honor his legacy by renaming a portion of the highway that runs through his home town in his memory.”
McGuire said Rumfelt was an inspiring and positive force in the lives of many young people. He spent countless hours at Clear Lake High School, his alma mater, coaching the football team and mentoring youth.
Rumfelt was a dedicated family man. He is survived by his wife Kelly, his two daughters Nikki and Britney, his grandsons Robby and Johnny, his parents, and his siblings.
LUCERNE, Calif. – The Lake County Sheriff’s Office has released new details regarding a Saturday night shooting in Lucerne.
Michael Lawrence Finnegan, 52, of Lucerne was arrested for shooting his roommate in the incident, according to Lt. Corey Paulich.
Paulich said that on Saturday shortly after 8 p.m. Lake County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a residence in the 6300 block of 15th Avenue in Lucerne for a report of a male who had been shot by his roommate.
When deputies arrived they located Finnegan waiting outside the residence, Paulich said.
The deputies also located the victim, a 51-year-old male whose name has not yet been released, inside the residence with a wound to his chest. Paulich said the victim told deputies that he had been shot by his roommate.
The victim was transported by a CalStar air ambulance to an out-of-county hospital for treatment, as Lake County News has reported.
Finnegan told the deputies that the shooting victim had been very hostile during the last week, and had threatened to kick Finnegan out of their residence, according to Paulich’s report.
Paulich said the roommate kept barging into Finnegan’s room and confronting him. Finnegan told deputies that last time the victim barged in, the victim lunged at him and Finnegan used his .22-caliber pistol to shoot the man.
Finnegan said he shot the victim because he felt like he was being attacked, Paulich said.
Finnegan was placed under arrest and transported to the Lake County Jail, where he was booked for assault with a firearm, Paulich said.
Finnegan remained in custody on Monday with his bail set at $50,000, according to booking records. He is scheduled for a Tuesday appearance in Lake County Superior Court for arraignment.
The victim is expected to recover from his injury, Paulich said.
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Candidates in the June 5 primary have turned in their latest campaign documents, which give a picture into contributions and expenditures for all of the races for the year so far.
The latest campaign finance disclosure documents, filed with the Lake County Registrar of Voters Office in late May, show that across six campaigns – including the unopposed sheriff-coroner election – approximately $151,790.54 has been raised so far.
Of that amount, a review of documents puts the total loans candidates or their supporters have made to their campaigns at $61,884.31, about 40 percent of total contributions reported.
Leading the fundraising across all races this primary campaign season is district attorney candidate Steven Brown. His latest financial statement reports $41,938 raised year to date, of which $10,000 is a loan from developer Bill Brunetti.
Brown’s total is nearly three times the amount raised by his opponent, Susan Krones, whose year-to-date total is $14,518; of that amount, she loaned herself $8,500.
The district attorney’s race has the highest overall contribution total of all races, with $56,456 reported.
In the race for Lake County Superior Court judge, just over $39,000 has been raised. Leading the field in fundraising is candidate Shanda Harry, with $29,585.91. She loaned herself $15,178.87 for the year to date. However, because she has paid those loans back, they do not count toward her overall contributions total.
Harry’s total contributions amount is more than three times the total raised by her two opponents – Don Anderson and Andre Ross – combined. Anderson’s documents show he has raised $8,367 this year – of which $3,000 is a loan to himself – and Ross has reported $1,100 in total contributions.
District 3 supervisorial candidates have raised just over $25,000 combined. Documents show EJ Crandell has raised $14,802.50 year to date, of which $4,580.44 are loans given to his campaign by himself and Olga Martin Steele. Denise Loustalot reported total contributions of $10,926, a figure which includes no loans.
In the county superintendent of schools race, Brock Falkenberg has $18,049, of which $17,000 was a loan he made to his own campaign. His opponent, Patrick Iaccino, reported a total contribution amount of $3,100, all of which he loaned himself for the run.
Of the two candidates in the District 2 supervisor race, Bruno Sabatier has raised the most, $4,837, with no loans reported. Joyce Overton reported $1,767.13, and loaned herself $525.
Although he is running unchallenged, Sheriff Brian Martin reported $2,800 in contributions raised year to date.
In reviewing the candidates’ financial paperwork, Lake County News created the following summary of race fundraising totals:
District 2 supervisor: Total, $6,604.13; Bruno Sabatier, $4,837; Joyce Overton, $1,767.13.
District 3 supervisor: Total, $25,728.50; EJ Crandell, $14,802.50; Denise Loustalot, $10,926.
District attorney: Total, $56,456; Steven Brown, $41,938; Susan Krones, $14,518.

Discrepancy noted:
Campaign filing documents indicate that Crandell received an estimated $3,610.30 in nonmonetary contributions for the year to date; only $741.67 is entered in the “nonmonetary contributions year to date” line on the latest filings.
Those contributions include:
– Olga Martin Steele, retired, Clearlake Oaks, $2,493.63 for literature, campaign signs, car magnets and bumper stickers, and campaign buttons.
– Scotty McNeil, retired, Clearlake Oaks, $366.67 for campaign headquarters space.
That correction brings his correct overall contributions total to $14,802.50.

The latest campaign finance disclosure documents, filed with the Lake County Registrar of Voters Office in late May, show that across six campaigns – including the unopposed sheriff-coroner election – approximately $151,790.54 has been raised so far.
Of that amount, a review of documents puts the total loans candidates or their supporters have made to their campaigns at $61,884.31, about 40 percent of total contributions reported.
Leading the fundraising across all races this primary campaign season is district attorney candidate Steven Brown. His latest financial statement reports $41,938 raised year to date, of which $10,000 is a loan from developer Bill Brunetti.
Brown’s total is nearly three times the amount raised by his opponent, Susan Krones, whose year-to-date total is $14,518; of that amount, she loaned herself $8,500.
The district attorney’s race has the highest overall contribution total of all races, with $56,456 reported.
In the race for Lake County Superior Court judge, just over $39,000 has been raised. Leading the field in fundraising is candidate Shanda Harry, with $29,585.91. She loaned herself $15,178.87 for the year to date. However, because she has paid those loans back, they do not count toward her overall contributions total.
Harry’s total contributions amount is more than three times the total raised by her two opponents – Don Anderson and Andre Ross – combined. Anderson’s documents show he has raised $8,367 this year – of which $3,000 is a loan to himself – and Ross has reported $1,100 in total contributions.
District 3 supervisorial candidates have raised just over $25,000 combined. Documents show EJ Crandell has raised $14,802.50 year to date, of which $4,580.44 are loans given to his campaign by himself and Olga Martin Steele. Denise Loustalot reported total contributions of $10,926, a figure which includes no loans.
In the county superintendent of schools race, Brock Falkenberg has $18,049, of which $17,000 was a loan he made to his own campaign. His opponent, Patrick Iaccino, reported a total contribution amount of $3,100, all of which he loaned himself for the run.
Of the two candidates in the District 2 supervisor race, Bruno Sabatier has raised the most, $4,837, with no loans reported. Joyce Overton reported $1,767.13, and loaned herself $525.
Although he is running unchallenged, Sheriff Brian Martin reported $2,800 in contributions raised year to date.
In reviewing the candidates’ financial paperwork, Lake County News created the following summary of race fundraising totals:
District 2 supervisor: Total, $6,604.13; Bruno Sabatier, $4,837; Joyce Overton, $1,767.13.
District 3 supervisor: Total, $25,728.50; EJ Crandell, $14,802.50; Denise Loustalot, $10,926.
District attorney: Total, $56,456; Steven Brown, $41,938; Susan Krones, $14,518.
Sheriff-Coroner: Total, $2,800; Brian Martin (unopposed), $2,800.
Superintendent of schools: Total, $21,149; Brock Falkenberg, $18,049; Patrick Iaccino, $3,100.
Superior Court judge: Total, $39,052.91; Shanda Harry, $29,585.91; Don Anderson, $8,367; Andre Ross, $1,100.
A breakdown of the candidates’ financials is published below. The numbers are based primarily on campaign disclosure statement summary sheets matched against reviews of the rest of the submitted documents. Discrepancies are noted.

Discrepancy noted:
Campaign filing documents indicate that Crandell received an estimated $3,610.30 in nonmonetary contributions for the year to date; only $741.67 is entered in the “nonmonetary contributions year to date” line on the latest filings.
Those contributions include:
– Olga Martin Steele, retired, Clearlake Oaks, $2,493.63 for literature, campaign signs, car magnets and bumper stickers, and campaign buttons.
– Scotty McNeil, retired, Clearlake Oaks, $366.67 for campaign headquarters space.
That correction brings his correct overall contributions total to $14,802.50.
