KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The Lake County Road Department will be applying a preventative maintenance treatment called fog seal to Gaddy Lane, between State Street and Soda Bay Road, on Thursday, June 7.

Please anticipate limited access to properties in the effected area during this time. Also, no street parking of vehicles will be allowed during this same time period.

The following intersections will be open for residents to be able to access their properties:

  • Wendy Lane/Gaddy Lane Intersection: limited access – up to three hour delays.
  • Blue Court/Gaddy Lane Intersection: limited access – up to three hour delays.
  • Clark Drive/Soda Bay Road Intersection: Clark Drive, Terri Lane, Sauvignon Lane, Jeannie Lane, Jamie Lane, and Pharo Place please use this intersection to access property.

During the time road crews are working and until the road oil dries, please do not park or drive on the street or allow children access to the treatment area.

LAKEPORT, Calif. – Teens are invited to Lakeport Library’s steampunk jewelry workshop at the library, 1425 N. High St, Lakeport, on Saturday, June 23, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The workshop is one of a series of events in the library’s teen summer program, “Own the Night.”

As with all library events, the workshop is free and all supplies will be provided to create a steampunk pin to wear or attach to a book bag. Teens who haven’t signed up for the program may do so at the workshop.

Steampunk jewelry, which developed from steampunk literature, combines parts and pieces of antique timepieces, skeleton keys, small locks, cogs, gears, compass parts and small brass findings. Insect and octopus motifs are popular touches. This odd blend of parts makes for jewelry that blends industrial and feminine looks.

A very short definition of steampunk literature is Victorian science fiction, fantasy or speculative fiction with steam-powered machines.

Novels like H. G. Wells’ “The Time Machine” and Jules Verne’s “20,000 Leagues under the Sea” are antecedents of steampunk, and current authors continue to write books in this genre.
