The United States Postal Service is committed to delivering your mail and packages throughout the current pandemic. We are proud of our role in providing an essential service to every community. The one constant throughout this crisis has been our commitment to fulfilling the vital mission of the Postal Service.
We would like to share the following information:
USPS wants to help keep you – and our employees – safe. We ask for you to maintain a safe distance at all times. The Centers for Disease Control recommends keeping a distance of 6 feet or more between other individuals. Please allow a safe distance between you and your letter carrier or post office clerk while they are performing their duties.
We know it is a challenge to find ways to connect with family and friends at this time. The Post Office is one of the ways to remain in contact, and you don’t have to come to the Post Office to buy stamps or drop off your card or letter. Just go on usps.com and order your stamps and leave your stamped envelope for your letter carrier to pick up when he or she delivers your mail.
It is important to note the CDC, the World Health Organization and the U.S. Surgeon General have all said there is very low risk that this virus is being spread through mail.
Our mission to bind the nation together is achieved through the tireless efforts and sacrifices of our dedicated employees. The outpouring of support you have shown has had a great impact on everyone at the Postal Service. Knowing how much you care means everything to us. On behalf of all employees at the Lakeport Post Office – thank you.

Did you know there is a dedicated group working hard during the shelter in place?
Teachers are still teaching. My wife gets up every weekday morning and goes online to reach her students. She spends many hours preparing lessons.
No, the teachers are not directly exposed to the virus but they are refusing to let their students down.
It will be important when the students return for there to be health checks every day of both students and staff.
The school buildings need to get the cleaning attention they have never received. For years public school buildings have been neglected. Now it is time for the California legislators to make sure there is funding to keep the school buildings in safe, healthy condition. Our teachers and students deserve the best.
The new normal for schools is that taxpayers support the public schools as a neglected school is a neglected student and educators.

The election results are in and we received 47.6 percent of the votes!
Thank you, voters, and thank you to the other candidates who worked hard and ran strong, clean campaigns.
I appreciate everyone who supported and volunteered to help make this campaign such a success. The confidence that you have shown in my ability to be the next District 5 supervisor rings loud and clear, and I am excited to be heading into the run-off with such a strong lead and a broad coalition of support.
We are facing difficult days as we maneuver through this global pandemic, but Lake County is showing once again how we rise to meet the challenge. I am so proud of the proactive measures our leadership has taken, and we can see how their swift action has slowed the spread in our community and given our systems the valuable time needed to prepare for what is likely coming.
As I stay home with my family doing my part to "flatten the curve,” my community work continues remotely. Preparation for the coming fire season, building resiliency within communities, and strategizing our economic long-term recovery, which will test us in entirely new ways, remain my top priorities.
The campaign will pivot to comply with all safety measures and we will be exploring exciting new ways to connect with District 5 residents.

My wife and I are 84 and 82 and soon to be a year older. This is how we are coping.
She goes to Lakeport for doctor visits and prescriptions while I go to the VA Clinic. Other than that we go for groceries, gas and the post office. We seldom go to Walmart or Mendo Mill but for supplies.
We occasionally require help for house cleaning and heavy chores but we manage.
There are a lot of older folks in Lake County so we are not unique. We are coping.
Stay strong, Lake County.
