LAKEPORT, Calif. – Lakeport’s newest postmaster will be sworn in during a Thursday ceremony.
At 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 8, Benjamin C. Lovato will follow a tradition that dates back to 1858 when the area that was then known as “Big Valley” Post Office was first opened.
Lovato will raise his right hand to be sworn in as the new postmaster of the Lakeport Post Office at the Hartley Masonic Lodge No. 199, located at 375 N. Main St.
Recently retired Superior Court Judge Richard Martin will administer the official oath of office.
“It is an honor to serve as the postmaster of Lakeport. This is where I first started my career back in 2005,” said Lovato. “I plan to continue to provide excellent customer service to our community.”
This will be Lovato’s second swearing-in as a postmaster and perhaps his most treasured as Lakeport is where his postal career began.
Lovato started his postal career in 2005 as a part-time flexible clerk in Lakeport. He transferred to Clearlake as a part-time flexible clerk in 2007. He subsequently took on other assignments at other offices to broaden his postal knowledge.
In June 2011, Lovato was assigned his first management detail as officer-in-charge at the Laytonville Post Office. The experience he gained with this detail assignment was worth the 900 miles a week he commuted for 11 months.
In April 2012, Lovato received his next officer-in-charge assignment in Hopland, where he worked for six months. Eager to learn more, he asked for an assignment at a Post Office with city delivery.
He was detailed as supervisor customer service at the Healdsburg Post Office in October 2012, under the guidance of the postmaster to learn how to manage a city delivery unit. He earned his delivery-unit wings when he was sent to go to Sebastopol Post Office as a supervisor customer service.
In May 2013, he was promoted as supervisor customer service in Lakeport. His success opened the door for him as the officer-in-charge at the Clearlake Oaks Post Office.
In May 2015, he was assigned as officer-in-charge in Lower Lake and later promoted to postmaster of Lower Lake on Aug. 8, 2015, as Lake County News has reported: http://www.lakeconews.com/index.php/news/43330-lovato-sworn-in-as-newest-lower-lake-postmaster .
Lovato found himself back “home” again in June 2016 as he took on the role of officer-in-charge of Lakeport where he stayed and, finally, came full circle from clerk to Postmaster of his first office, Lakeport, 12 years later in May 2017.
Lovato temporarily donned the hat of station manager of the Santa Rosa Annex from August to November 2017. He is currently back as acting Postmaster in his Lakeport office.
Lovato and his 7-year-old son, Ezra, live in Lake County. He enjoys running, shooting bows, snowboarding, disc golf and, most importantly, spending time with his son. He is an active member of the Masons in Lakeport and currently serves as one of the officers at the lodge.
As Lakeport postmaster, Lovato manages 20 employees who process and deliver an average of 26,000 pieces of mail and packages daily to 5,908 delivery points – business and residential addresses – and 1,541 Post Office boxes.
Lovato succeeds Maria Lane, the current manager of Post Office operations.

UPPER LAKE, Calif. – Mendocino National Forest fire managers are planning to implement the Howard Mill prescribed fire on the Upper Lake Ranger District starting Tuesday, Feb. 6.
Crews plan to burn approximately 80 acres initially and continue operations in this area through the week as conditions allow.
The project is in Lake County, about five miles north of Upper Lake and five miles south of Lake Pillsbury, forest officials reported.
Smoke may be visible from Lakeport, Upper Lake, Kelseyville and Potter Valley, but a report from the forest said it is not expected to reach communities.
People using the OHV trails in the vicinity should be aware that Trail 8 will be temporarily closed during prescribed fire activities.
Travelers on M1 and Upper Deer Valley Road need to be alert to low visibility on roads and to watch for firefighters and equipment in the project area.
Prescribed fires are conducted to reduce the potential for future severe wildfires, increase firefighter safety, remove hazardous fuels, and protect communities and watersheds.
The ignition of all projects is dependent on the availability of personnel and equipment, favorable weather, conditions that minimize smoke impacts as best as possible, and California Air Resources Board approval.
Burns are conducted within a “prescription” that is determined by appropriate fuel moisture, temperature, humidity, wind, and ventilation.
Fire crews implement, monitor, and patrol each project to ensure it meets the goals and objectives outlined in the prescribed burn plan.
For more information, please call the Upper Lake District office at 707-275-2361.

NORTH COAST, Calif. – A Little River man who authorities say shot the mother of his child on Sunday before fleeing has been captured in Glenn County.
Andrew Crowningshield, 27, was taken into custody in Elk Creek on Monday morning, according to Lt. Shannon Barney of the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office.
Shortly after 9 a.m. Sunday the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office responded to a report of a shooting in the 6000 block of North Highway 1 in Little River, Barney said.
Barney said the reporting party, victim Daniel Alonso, said that he and his friend, victim Autumn Smith, who also went by the last name of Johnson, were traveling southbound on North Highway 1 from Fort Bragg.
As they passed the area of Caspar they observed Crowningshield in his vehicle. Barney said Alonso reported that Crowningshield followed their vehicle as they drove south.
Crowningshield and Smith had a previous relationship together and they share a child in common, a 3-year-old boy. Barney said their relationship had ended over a year prior to this incident and they shared custody of the child.
In the 6000 block of North Highway 1 Smith pulled to the side of the road to talk to Crowningshield about their son and when she could pick up the child, Barney said.
Smith approached Crowningshield's vehicle and for reasons unknown at this time, Crowningshield fired numerous rounds at Smith, who fell to the ground, according to Barney’s report.
Barney said that Alonso told authorities that he believed Crowningshield also fired numerous rounds at him while he was seated in the other vehicle.
Alonso used Smith's vehicle to drive to a nearby business to report the shooting to the sheriff's office. At the same time, Barney said Crowningshield fled the area in a large four-wheel-drive Ford pickup.
Initially, Mendocino County Sheriff’s deputies were concerned that the 3-year-old boy might have been taken by Crowningshield but it was later learned to not be the case. Barney said deputies later found the child safe, with relatives, and learned he was not at the scene nor was he involved in the incident in any way.
Responding deputies and members of the Albion Litter River Fire Department arrived on scene and found Smith deceased. Barney said sheriff’s detectives were called to conduct the investigation while deputies, officers from the California Highway Patrol – both patrol units and a helicopter – as well as officers from the Ukiah Police Department and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife combed the area looking for the suspect.
Several reports came in the suspect may have been seen on the Comptche-Ukiah Road but deputies were unable to locate him, Barney said.
Barney said additional reports came in the suspect vehicle might have been seen on the Eel River Road leading to Lake Pillsbury. A be on the lookout was issued to all allied agencies to stop and arrest the suspect.
Just before 7 a.m. Monday, Crowningshield’s vehicle was spotted in Elk Creek in Glenn County. Barney said responding Glenn County Deputies observed Crowningshield near the vehicle and placed him into custody without incident.
Crowningshield was transported to the Mendocino County Jail where he was booked late Monday afternoon on an open charge of homicide and an open charge of attempted homicide. This is a no-bail status, Barney said.
The Mendocino County Sheriff's Office thanked all allied agencies who assisted and all citizens who called in information about possible sightings.
NICE, Calif. – On Monday in Nice a Lake County Sheriff’s deputy fatally shot an armed man who had been reported for brandishing a firearm.
Lt. Corey Paulich said deputies first responded at 11:40 a.m. Monday to the 6000 block of Marin Street on a report of a suspicious male in the area.
Then, at 11:55 a.m., the sheriff’s office received a second report of a male brandishing a firearm in the 4000 block of Nice Road, Paulich said.
Paulich said a deputy contacted the armed man in the area of Burpee Drive and Lakeview Drive.
Shots were fired and the suspect died as a result of his injuries at the scene, according to Paulich.
He said the scene is contained and the sheriff’s office does not believe there are any outstanding suspects.

Paulich said the deputy was not injured and will be placed on routine paid administrative leave.
The county's critical incident protocol was activated, and Paulich said the Lake County District Attorney’s Office will be assisting the Sheriff’s Major Crimes Unit with the investigation of this incident.
The investigation is continuing and additional details will be released when they are available, Paulich said.
A large number of sheriff’s and California Highway Patrol units have been at the scene throughout the afternoon for processing the scene, which a deputy told Lake County News covered a large area.

LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Board of Supervisors this week will discuss the response to a series of community visioning forums held last month and also consider whether to direct that a request for proposals go out for the preparation of an employee compensation study.
The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 6, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.
The meeting can be watched live on Channel 8 and online at https://countyoflake.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx. Accompanying board documents, the agenda and archived board meeting videos also are available at that link.
In an item timed for 9:30 a.m., administrative staff will give the board a report on the community visioning forums held in each supervisorial district in January 2018 and seek possible direction from the board.
County Administrative Officer Carol Huchingson’s report to the board explains that staff “has been focused on solutions to the County's very serious and worsening financial situation including redesign of business practices and exploration of new revenue sources. As part of this process, we embarked upon a series of CV [community visioning] forums to educate our citizenry on the significant financial challenges and to engage them in developing solutions and establishing service priorities.”
Huchingson said that the forums have “been very positive experiences,” with community members sharing ideas about most valued services along with suggestions for greater efficiencies and possible new revenue sources.
“As was conveyed by staff to the public during each forum, given our long history of ‘doing more with less,’ there is little doubt that finding new revenues will be an essential part of the solution. Both the Cities of Clearlake and Lakeport successfully passed sales tax measures enabling both jurisdictions to address financial challenges,” she said in her memo to the board.
Based on community sentiment in the community visioning forum process, Huchingson said “there may be support for a similar measure in the County.”
As such, she’s asking the board to consider directing staff to initiate the procedure to prepare an ordinance to establish a general purpose sales tax.
In other business, in an untimed item Huchingson is asking the board to consider the Classification, Compensation, Recruitment and Retention Committee’s plans for the coming year and its recommendation that the board direct staff to issue a request for proposals for a consultant to conduct a comprehensive classification and compensation study.
Huchingson said the county last conducted such a study in 2003, and since then its challenges with recruitment and retention have grown, as it has been unable to keep with with the pay offered by other counties.
“The study is needed, after a 15 year hiatus, to review classifications and salary relationships, and gather important data on compensation in comparable jurisdictions, as we prepare to address impending issues including minimum wage and the need for periodic cost of living adjustments,” Huchingson wrote in her memo to the board.
She said the committee also is recommending the board consider adopting a compensation philosophy statement, and the board is being asked to direct staff to finalize such a statement for future consideration.
The full agenda follows.
