LAKEPORT, Calif. — It was 30 years ago that a group of like-minded Lake County citizens joined together to form the Lake County Land Trust.

Incorporation papers were filed in November of 1993 and since that time the Land Trust has preserved valuable habitat and natural lands around the county with the help of numerous Land Trust supporters.

The Land Trust will celebrate with a 30th anniversary on Sat., Oct. 28, at Boatique Winery, 8255 Red Hills Rd., Kelseyville. The public is warmly invited to participate. Admission to the event is $100 per person and sponsorships, with special benefits, are available.

To purchase admission to the dinner, visit www.lakecountylandtrust.org and click on the “Anniversary Dinner Admission” button or mail payment, along with an order form that can be printed from the website, to P.O. Box 1017, Lakeport, 95453. Sponsorship opportunities are also explained on the website. Deadline to assure participation is Oct. 16.

Over its 30 years of existence, the Lake County Land Trust has many accomplishments for a small land trust. Early on, the trust took ownership of Rabbit Hill in Middletown when the Madrone Audubon Society deeded the property to the trust.

Next came the first big project, the Rodman Ranch and Slough. That property was successfully purchased in 1999 after several years of working with county, state, and federal agencies, along with private landowners, to protect over 280 acres of wetland habitat, grass and Oak savannah, and Oak forest, and protect over 100 acres of agricultural land.

The Land Trust created a Conservation Priority Plan which identified the shoreline habitat along the southwestern shore of Clear Lake as one of its priorities. Through the Big Valley Wetlands Preservation project the Land Trust has purchased two separate parcels and is working on a third, to total almost 300 acres of secured shoreline and upland habitat for both people and animals to enjoy.

The trust currently owns over 500 acres, holds conservation easements on 88 acres, and oversees management of the Boggs Lake Preserve in a partnership with the Nature Conservancy. Through the years the trust has also facilitated the protection of the Black Forest near Buckingham and elk and mountain lion habitat in eastern Lake County.

The Land Trust operates a small nature center at its Rodman Preserve where children’s programs and community art and nature events have been held. Saturday walks are conducted weekly throughout the year.

Through all of its adventures the Lake County Land Trust has relied on the support of businesses, residents and second-home owners. Lake County Land Trust Board members look forward to gathering with supporters and friends to celebrate three decades of working together to preserve special areas of Lake County and Clear Lake.

The Lake County Land Trust is a charitable nonprofit organization that protects the unique and valuable wildlife habitats of Lake County and Clear Lake.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Two long-time Scotts Valley 4-Hers were awarded $850 scholarships recently.

Emma Mertle and Abby Mertle were honored with the 2023 Paul and Otha Alexander Memorial Scholarship at this year’s Lake County Fair.

Both Abby and Emma were active in the Scotts Valley 4-H club for 12 years, serving as officers and raising a variety of livestock for auction at the Lake County Fair.

Both young women graduated from Clear Lake High School this year. They are the daughters of Jeff and Brite Mertle of Lakeport.

Abby proved to be an exceptional student, played basketball and volleyball, worked summers at a local business, raised quality market animals including a champion market hog and turkey, and volunteered at community events.

Her plans for the future include study at Butte College and then Montana State University.

Emma earned straight As in school and enjoyed being involved in sports and student leadership. One of her proudest achievements was to have been selected to raise an auction hog to benefit the Lake County Fair Foundation which garnered over $25,000 in donations in 2022.

A passionate advocate for agriculture, Emma plans to attend Chico State to study agriculture education.

The twin sisters both expressed appreciation for the opportunities they had in school and 4-H.

“The Alexander Family is proud to recognize the character, leadership, and community involvement of Emma and Abby Mertle,” said Peggy Alexander, coordinator of the Paul and Otha Alexander Memorial Scholarship.

This year marks the 23st year of scholarship awards to local graduates, awards sponsored by the Lake County 4-H Council, the Falge family and the Alexander family.

At its August meeting, the California Fish and Game Commission last week discussed regulations regarding special hunts, new options for sport fishing in the upper Klamath River basin and commercial fishing of Pacific herring.

The following are just a few items of interest from this month’s meeting held in Fortuna, Seal Beach and La Jolla with an option for the public to join via Zoom.

The Commission adopted regulations that will add all special hunts to the Automatic License Data System, or ALDS.

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife, or CDFW, uses draws for issuing almost all hunting permits, with most opportunities having transitioned from an antiquated “special hunts system” to ALDS.

This adoption will now add special hunts to the ALDS system providing one-stop shopping for customers and authorize CDFW to accommodate additional hunting draws.

Due to the upcoming removal of four dams on the main stem of the Klamath River (J.C. Boyle, Copco 1, Copco 2 and Iron Gate) the commission took the first step in considering options for sport fishing opportunities in the upper Klamath River basin during the deconstruction project.

The draft proposed regulations take into account deconstruction activities, restoration processes, public health and safety, sustainable fishery needs, anticipated ecological conditions, and impacts to fishery resources during recovery and repopulation.

CDFW’s objective is for populations of anadromous and non-anadromous fish to reach levels that will allow long-term, sustainable fisheries as quickly as possible.

The commission adopted regulations to allow limited commercial take of Pacific herring via small-scale lampara gear by Humboldt Bay herring permit holders.

The commission received CDFW’s White Seabass Fishery Management Plan 2021-2022 Annual Review report and concurred that the management triggers were not met. Discussion focused on integrating new research and the need to begin work to update the management plan.

Commissioner Anthony Williams, who served on the commission previously from June 2015 to January 2019 and was reappointed in October 2022, resigned in July. This was his last meeting.

“The combination of serious family obligations and my ongoing work have made it difficult to give the Commission’s work the attention it deserves,” Commissioner Williams said about his departure. “I did very much enjoy being (back!) on the Commission and getting the chance to work with fellow commissioners (again!).”

Commission President Eric Sklar was in Fortuna for the meeting. Commissioner Samantha Murray participated from La Jolla and Commissioner Anthony Williams participated from Seal Beach. Vice President Erika Zavaleta and Commissioner Jacque Hostler-Carmesin were absent both days.

The agenda for this meeting, along with supporting information, is available on the commission website. Archived video of past commission meetings is available online.

The next meeting of the full commission is scheduled for Oct. 11 to 12 in the San Jose area and via Zoom.

LAKEPORT, Calif. — Five-time Grammy nominee David Arkenstone is returning to Lake County for another performance as part of his Pacific Northwest Fall Tour.

He will perform on Friday, Oct. 6, at the Soper Reese Community Theatre, 275 S. Main St. in Lakeport

Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with the show beginning at 7 p.m.

From his first Grammy nomination in 1992 through his latest nomination in 2022, Arkenstone’s music has become the soundtrack to our lives with unforgettable NBC Sports themes such as The Kentucky Derby to epic gaming music for World of Warcraft, from Music Inspired by Middle Earth to area music as you stroll through Epcot at DisneyWorld.

His September to October tour brings a lively candlelit evening of music blending neo-classical piano, new age, Celtic, progressive rock, orchestral and world music to Northern California.

With over 100 million Spotify streams and 60-plus CDs, Arkenstone’s music holds something for everyone, taking concertgoers on a wondrous musical journey from first note to last.

Joined on stage by virtuoso musicians Kimberly Zaleski (flute), Laurann Angel (violin), Cecilia Caughman (cello), and Josh Gilgoff (percussion), Arkenstone has plenty of surprises in store and will debut songs from his newest release.

Since his first album in 1987, the acclaimed Valley in the Clouds, Arkenstone continues to create distinctive tracks that inspire the imagination.

Arkenstone enjoys touring and meeting his fans from around the world. “I think the attraction to come to one of my shows is the amount of different kinds of music you will hear and the high caliber of talent you will be presented with. There’s something for everybody. People have told me that it looks like we’re having the best time of our lives during the concert. It spills over the stage into the audience. After the show to be able to meet the people that have shared the music, I’m so grateful,” he said.

A musical storyteller, he is passionate about taking listeners on a journey, creating sonic tapestries that evoke every emotion. “I envision a place where I would like to go, or an adventure I would like to take, and let my imagination run free,” said Arkenstone. “I’ve gotten countless messages from listeners who love to take these journeys with me. I’m sometimes surprised by how powerfully people in so many age groups respond to my music.”

Tickets are on sale now for the Pacific Northwest Tour of An Evening with David Arkenstone & Friends at davidarkenstone.com or linktr.ee/davidarkenstone.

Tickets also can be purchased online at the Soper Reese.

Tickets are $30 for adults, $20 for students (18 and under with a college ID), or a $45 VIP pack with a lanyard with a tour laminate, custom compilation CD, preferred seating, signed photo, and post-show autograph meet and greet.
