Instead, they say, they found something else en- tirely: graphic child por- nography. With that discovery two years ago, an investiga- tion of sensational but ul- timately unproven allega- tions of espionage veered into an unrelated child pornography prosecution that won Keith Garten- laub's conviction in De- cember. Now, the Los Angeles case is testing a defen- dant's ability to access in- formation about himself presented to the country's secretive foreign intelli- gence court, which issued the warrant that let agents scour his hard drives. At issue is how the gov- ernment uses evidence de- rived through the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and under what cir- cumstances that informa- tion should be made avail- able to defendants, partic- ularly when it winds up repurposed for a routine criminal prosecution that has nothing to do with na- tional security. Gartenlaub says he has a right to know the gov- ernment's arguments that were used to obtain the warrant, and fight them. "You can't base a search on lies," the 48-year-old said in an interview with The Associated Press. He's seeking a new trial as he awaits his April 18 sentencing, saying there's no evidence he was aware of the child pornography or had ever accessed the im- ages. If that's denied, he's likely to appeal on grounds that the warrant to inspect his computers was based on mistaken assumptions and allegations of a crime, espionage, for which he's never been charged. It won't be an easy ar- gument. His request to suppress pornography ev- idence that he said was im- properly obtained was de- nied before the trial. And he's tried to review the sealed FISA court records in hopes of attacking the FBI search, but the gov- ernment refused to pro- vide the information and a judge said he wasn't en- titled to it. "I don't want the FISA warrant for my own per- sonal edification. I need to know whether they pro- vided probable cause to a judgetosearchaman'scom- puters and home," said his attorney, Mark Werksman. The FISA court was cre- ated in 1978 to hear gov- ernment surveillance re- quests in foreign intel- ligence matters, and it remains shrouded in se- crecy. Though judges can order prosecutors to share FISA information with de- fendants if they deem it necessary for challenging a search's legality, courts have consistently sided with the government in saying that disclosing the material could expose sen- sitive intelligence secrets. In Gartenlaub's case, then- Attorney General Eric Holder submitted a dec- laration advising against disclosure. A rare exception came in 2014, when a judge in Chi- cago ordered the disclo- sure of FISA materials in a bomb-plot case. A federal appeals court overturned the decision, and the Su- preme Court declined to review the matter. "For defendants, ac- cess to this information is a matter of fundamen- tal fairness, because with- out it they cannot mean- ingfully challenge whether the government's secret searches were lawful in the first place," American Civil Liberties Union law- yer Patrick Toomey said in an email. INVESTIGATION How a spy probe wound up as a child pornography prosecution LENNY IGNELZI — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Keith Gartenlaub is seen at his home in Lake Elsinore. By Jonathan J. Cooper The Associated Press SACRAMENTO Agree- ments to remove dams along the Klamath River set to be signed Wednes- day seek to ensure that farmers and ranchers won't have to pay higher prices for water. Tearing down the dams will allow endangered salmon and steelhead to return to portions of the river they've been unable to reach for nearly a cen- tury. The agreements seek to protect upriver irriga- tors from higher costs or reduced water supply be- cause of measures needed protect those fish. But the latest deal falls far short of implementing a comprehensive settle- ment that farmers, tribes and conservation groups worked out with state and federal officials in 2010. That agreement would have also restored tribal lands and given more wa- ter rights to farmers and ranchers, but was strongly opposed in Congress, where Republicans oppose dam removal.

(Irvin Wilbur) "Bill" Williams, age 96, passed away on March 31, 2016, at Brookdale Senior Living, a caring and loving community located in Red Bluff, California. He was born on September 16, 1919, in Racket, Missouri, to Sam and Elsie (Devasher) Williams. When 14 years old, his parents were deep into the Dust Bowl Depression and made the decision to try for a better life in Los An- geles. It was in high school that his shop teacher helped him realize his natural potential for construction. Howev- er, at 21 years of age, Bill put his private life on hold and joined the US Army Cavalry to fight in WWII. He was eventually transferred to the Army Air Force. He flew 50 missions as a top turret gunner in a B17 Bomber, helping to destroy the German oil fields in Poland. One of Bill's greatest accomplishments was to write a book chronicling his fifty missions entitled Four Miles High and Forty Be- low. In his later life, Bill attended annual reunions of the 15th Airforce. In 1944, while stationed in Roswell, New Mexico, Bill met his future bride, the pretty Ruth Kirkwood. They were married on December 23, 1945. After the war ended, Ruth and Bill settled in Susanville, California, where he learned the construction trade and became a li- censed building contractor. Eventually, the family moved to Cottonwood. Bill, who was very civic minded and a natural leader, was elected to serve on the Board of Edu- cation at Evergreen Elementary School, served time as foreman of the Tehama County Grand Jury, and was the first President of the Red Bluff Junior Roundup. Over the years, Bill built hundreds of custom homes in the northern California area, and ended his career with the construction and management of apartment com- plexes in the Redding area. Not only could Bill construct buildings, he could build anything out of wood--from toys to furniture to the "Never Satisfied," his favorite ocean-going boat named after the B17 he flew in. Ruth, grandchildren, and acquaintances loved to share the outings on his boats. Bill was always proud of handing down his other great interest to his three children and grandchildren-- his love of horses! He served as President of the Northern Coun- ties Quarter Horse Association in 1966-1967. His sons continue to compete in team roping and his daughter still competes in horse shows. His Cottonwood grandchildren continue to be quite competitive in rodeos. Many people will remember Bill for his willingness to help others and his ever present optimistic attitude. He loved to feed the masses and would often invite multi- tudes to his home for a feast of smoked ribs and baked bread cooked in a smoker and a brick oven built by him- self, and fresh vegetables from his own garden. He was instrumental in hosting family reunions at his home over the years. Bill is survived by Ruth, his beloved wife of 70 years; daughter Eileen (Gordon) Maxinoski and sons Pete (Ju- lie) and Sam (Roxy); 8 grandchildren—Jeff Maxinoski, Melissa Maxinoski Ackalloor, Tara Ramelli, Ezekiel Wil- liams, Callie Williams, Clint Williams, Wyatt Williams, and Nellie Williams Miller; 7 great grandchildren; and sister Marie Polizzi, aged 99 years. He is preceded in death by his brothers Ferd Williams in 1941 and Ora Williams in 2008. Graveside services will be held at the Cottonwood Cem- etery on Saturday, April 9, at 11 AM with lunch following at the Sam Williams' Ranch on Evergreen Road in Cotton- wood.

When years ago Dr. R.G. Frey brought me into this world, I thought he would be around when I met my maker, so to speak…but it was the other way around and I witnessed him in full decline, berating his male nurse and behaving badly. Dr. O.T. Wood was his reserved and competent self after his wife's demise, but complained privately that he selfishly should not have encouraged his Barbara to "hang on" in the face of her debilitating illness. Dr.Hugh Merhoff had the good sense to retire early and be about to advise me when something hurt…and, I mightadd, at no cost. And then there was Dr. William Martin. Bill retired, in his prime, moved himself and his wife JoAnne to the Sacramento area and points south…and then had the gall to be playing doubles tennis down there while our remaining group up here dealt with pulled hamstrings and declining health issues until we finally ceased playing all together. But there was sweet old Bill playing as much as three times a week…and probably winning most of the time! And then, sud- denly he was felled by a stroke! The missus and I first met the Martins when they arrived in our fair city in the lat e 1950's, I think. Frequent church goers, they first attended the First Baptist Church, and then, apparently not happy with the pastor, moved up Jefferson to the Presbyterian Church, where they and their childen collided with my wife and our children…and they meshed perfectly, remaining staunch friends ever after. As I proved not to be the church going type, it was probably not until the subject of tennis made our meeting and bonding with the Martins inevitable, with the missus playing with JoAnne in ladies doubles, and their girls playing with our girls on the high school tennis team. As I recall they all got along famously. That's not to say that when Doc Martin invited me to play with his doubles group, that he allowed me to dominate the game even though I had been playing singles with the legendary Dick Hallock and I thought I was pretty hot stuff. After the first game, as we were exchanging sides, he paused and said, "We call the lines on our side…and you call them on yours!" So advised. But now, suddenly, he's not around to set me straight on matters of tennis, and even religion, for that matter. He survived his stroke for a week… and then reluctantly was forced to give up the fight. He had a pleasant bedside manner for a person who could be such a demon on the court, and his passing will be greatly mourned by all who knew him. R.I.P Bill.
