Obituaries David Joseph Rushka, cherished husband, father, grand- father and brother, passed away suddenly on Friday after- noon, July 27, 2012. The son of the late Joseph and Flos- sie Estelle Kollath Rushka, he was born in Decatur, Illi- nois on September 17, 1930. He married Rosemary Hoell, the love of his life, on December 26, 1953 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Following marriage, Dave and Rosemary made their home in Daly City, California, where they raised their family and made many lifelong friends. Dave graduated from East High School, Green Bay, Wisconsin and had a long career in sales management, frequently traveling throughout California. He was a friend to everyone, a jokester of the highest order, and a beloved father and grandfather. In his retire- ment he continued sailing on San Francisco Bay, attend- ing SF Symphony rehearsals, riding his bike, reading, at- tending his grandchildren's many sporting and musical events, and getting together for lunch regularly with his guy pals. He was also an avid Civil War aficionado. He enjoyed every minute of the frequent gatherings of his extended CA family and also loved visiting numerous rel- atives in the Midwest. In his retirement, one of his great- est sources of joy was being with his grandchildren. He was a humble man, but cast a huge shadow in the lives of those who knew him. His motto always was "Dave Rushka – Little ego, a ton of pride." Dave is survived by his wife of 58 years, Rosemary; a sister Jane (Alfred) Salogga; three children, Mary Rushka (Lee) Shoop, Joseph (Roberta) and John (Karen) Rushka; grandchildren Patrick, Devin and Laurel Shoop; Alex, Alyssa and Emily Rushka; Joseph, Michael and Katie Rushka and many cousins, nieces and nephews through- out the United States.

If Hall was able to train through the entire length of "The Odyssey" he would have to run for 11 hours, 50 minutes and 10 seconds. Hall ran the marathon at the Olympic Trials in 2:09:30. With that time, theoretically Hall could run five marathons listening to "The Odyssey" and cover the distance from Red Bluff to Sacramento. At a more leisurely pace, accord- ing to Google maps, it would take the average person 11 hours and 45 minutes to walk from Red Bluff to Redding. To see Hall's commercial, visit youtube.com/shareatt.

FOLSOM (AP) — A big electricity trader may have figured out a way to exploit vulnerabilities in the state's $8 billion-a-year electricity market, just as Enron Corp. did a decade ago, state offi- cials said. Authorities were investi- gating a subsidiary of the New York investment bank JPMorgan Chase & Co., which might have grabbed an extra $73 million during 2010 and 2011 while trad- ing energy in California, The Sacramento Bee report- ed Monday.

Regulatory Commission is investigating on California's behalf, and the fate of the remaining $53 million claimed by the ISO isn't clear. The investigation became public when the commission filed a lawsuit in federal court in Washing- ton, D.C., alleging JPMor- gan was improperly imped- ing its investigation by refusing to turn over internal emails. JP Morgan's Houston- based subsidiary, JPMorgan Ventures Energy Corp., has contracts with generators to trade their electricity in Cal- ifornia and elsewhere. Reg- ulators with the Midwest equivalent of California's ISO are also investigating JP Morgan. The newspaper said authorities are investigating whether JP Morgan exploit- ed fees paid to power gener- ators to keep their plants in a standby-mode to quickly create energy. The court papers reviewed by the Bee allege that JP Morgan offered power at artificially low prices in a futures mar- ket then asked artificially higher prices in a real-time market for last-minute ener- gy needs. The bidding tactic assured the company reaped substantial fees for putting power plants on standby that AT&T fiber optic lines were damaged. Charter reported that on both days, fiber optic cables serving Red Bluff and Cottonwood were severed by vandals. Technical crews were dispatched to the loca- tion both times and worked to restore ser- vices as soon as possible. No estimates were avail- able regarding the num- ber of customers affect- ed.

The alleged energy trades are dwarfed by much bigger trading prob- lems at JP Morgan, which is still reeling from a $5.8 billion trading loss at one of its divisions and shook up its top management last week.
