Baxter: Addressing potential confusion over comment on article

In reading a May 7 comment addressing a Lake County News article, “Sheriff clashes with tribe over resources, funding issues,” I see a participant expressing their opinion and using the name “Baxter.”


I can see where this could cause confusion on the part of some people and would like to make it clear that this individual is not Jack Baxter former candidate for sheriff nor do they speak on my behalf.


I support this persons right to publicly voice their views however I do not necessarily share their opinions and this person does not speak for me.


Jack Baxter is a former Lake County sheriff candidate. He lives in Lakeport, Calif.

Luiz: Community worked to make Clearlake a cleaner, safer place

I was very moved last weekend by the number of people that turned out for “Clearlake Clean Up Day.” It was the largest turn out I can recall in the last few years.


I would like to give a special thank you to all the citizens, students, business people, City Hall administrative staff, Clearlake public works staff and Clearlake Waste Solutions for all their efforts.


Truckloads of garbage were picked up off the city streets in a matter of hours by these great folks helping to better the health of the environment, and very importantly our lake.


I also would like to recognize the Clearlake Police Department, Volunteers In Policing and officers, who not only contributed but also insured that all participants that day were safe.


It was an honor to work with all these model community members to make Clearlake a cleaner, safer place.


Joey Luiz is vice mayor of Clearlake, Calif.
