LOWER LAKE, Calif. – Carlé would like to thank the wonderful Holly Austinson for stepping in in our time of need and holding down our secretarial job while doing her own job as well.

Student Jacob Walker designed a Beautiful mug for this wonderful lady.

Student of the week was awarded to Alvaro Duran for being a role model student who has his eyes set on returning to Lower Lake High at semester. He is the type of person who always does what he says he will do and follows through on his commitments.

The military test called ASVAB was administered at Carlé this week. Student Stacie Clemons said, “I’ve taken it three times over the years and it seems to get easier the more you take it. I enjoyed myself.”

Principal Koehler has invited students to help announce the morning bulletin. Three students have already been guests: Ray Bassett, Anna Pallett and Alex Parriott.

We would like to thank student Nick Begins for coming in each day and setting up our bulletin and running the board and the cameras with help from Destiny Parlett and Samantha Miller.

Carlé would like to thank Lower Lake High School’s Deb Weimelt for her help administering our reading tests. Thank you. The student-based enterprise made and awarded a unique mug to thank Ms. Weimelt for her help.

As a retired fire battalion chief and local fire board member, I’m proud to support Martin Scheel for Lake County supervisor in District 4.

I watched Martin’s active involvement during last year’s Valley fire. He was there on the scene during the earliest hours of the fire. Martin went above and beyond the call of duty to protect the safety of local residents and keep people out of harm’s way.

In August, Martin demonstrated his hands-on leadership approach once again by helping to expedite emergency response at a deadly senior housing fire in Lakeport.

The level of dedication that Martin Scheel has shown in emergency situations is what makes him the best choice for county supervisor. He’s been tested and has the experience to be an effective county supervisor from his very first day on the job.

Please join with me in supporting Martin Scheel for Lake County supervisor.

Jim Comisky is president of the South Lake County Fire District Board of Directors. He lives in Cobb, Calif.

mendocollegecherryorchardUKIAH, Calif. – The Mendocino College Theatre Arts Department will present Anton Chekhov’s humorously poignant play, “The Cherry Orchard” beginning next week.

Performances will run Oct. 21 to 30 in Mendocino College’s Center Theatre on the Ukiah Campus, 1000 Hensley Creek Road.

The play, under the direction of adjunct theater instructor Jason Davis, features a cast of 22 extraordinary local performers, including 14 full-time college theater conservatory students. 

“The play is a comedy about the human condition, economic disparity, and social change,” Davis said.

“The Cherry Orchard” opens Friday, Oct. 21. Performances run for two weekends only, through Oct. 30.

Performances are at 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 21; Saturday, Oct. 22; Friday, Oct. 28; Saturday, Oct. 29; at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 27; and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 30.

Tickets ($20 general; $15 students and seniors) are available at the Mendocino Book Co., Mendocino College Bookstore and online at www.ArtsMendocino.org .

The performance on Thursday, Oct. 27, is a special discount night, with all tickets costing only $10. Audiences are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance.

The Cherry Orchard is a comedy set in Russia at the turn of the 20th century.

The aristocratic Russian matriarch, Madame Luibov Ranevskaya, returns to her home just before it is to be auctioned off to pay for the mortgage. Liubov deliberately disregards the state of their family finances, while her brother, Gaev, scrambles to find alternative solutions to save their beloved estate.

The character Lopakhin, a former serf, gives the family several options to save the estate. However, the family continually defers making any decisions, and Lopakhin ultimately purchases the estate. The family leaves to the sound of the cherry orchard being cut down. 

One theme the story illustrates is cultural change – in this case, a shift from aristocratic hegemony to the establishment of the bourgeoisie in its newly gained materialism.

“The Cherry Orchard” presents a beautiful painting of the socio-economic forces that moved Russia at the turn of the 20th century – the rise of the middle class and the rippling effect it had on the aristocracy.

The play showcases the emerging talents of fourteen Mendocino College conservatory students.  Among these are Rickie Farah as Anya, Thomas Kenney as the perpetual student, Trofimov, Ari Sunbeam as the roguish manservant, Yasha, Liana Edington as Dunyasha, Will Schlosser as the former serf turned entrepreneur, Lopakhin, Shadi Mahfoud as the ill-fated clerk, Yepikhodov, Melany Katz as Varya, and Ayla Decaire as the mysterious Charlotta.

The cast also includes Stacey Sheldon, Brad McClanahan, Lindsey Chapman, John R. Pegan, Gary Hudson, Max Hovland, Kevin Klay, Owen Browne, Aria McClanahan, Maryann Beucler, Teresa Etter, Makela Yepez, Eleazar Brown, and Patrice Philips.

The play will be most appreciated by those ages 12 and older.

The production features impressive scenery, lighting, sound, and costumes, created by Mendocino College students under the direction of faculty and staff members Kathy Dingman-Katz and David Wolf, and new technical director, Steve Decker. Properties are designed by Joni Derickson. 

The play is being stage managed by the incomparable Ilena Yeru Pegan, with her wonderful band of assistants: Makela Yepez, Margarita Diaz and Joy Brown.
