The recent rate notice sent out to parcel owners in Clearlake Oaks states that any opposition to a rate increase must be in writing no later than Aug. 16 and that only affected parcel owners can protest (you must be the legal owner of the parcel and clearly identify yourself and your parcel – e.g. your name as it appears on the assessor’s rolls and the assessor parcel number should be included in your written protest). You also have to state which rate increase you are protesting (water, and/or wastewater [sewer]). If 51 percent of parcel owners don’t respond by Aug. 16, then the new rate can go into effect.
We may need a rate increase but it should be reasonable and based on a realistic budget and cost analysis that is clearly and simply explained to ratepayers. This is our water company. We do not want to be taken over by a private company. Please get involved! Attend the public meeting on Saturday, Aug. 16 at 7 p.m. at the Grange Hall on E. Highway 20 in Clearlake Oaks.

Now is the time to prepare for these conditions. Do not wait until it is too late. And, do not be fooled into thinking that only other people are affected. Remember tornadoes, blizzards, floods, earthquakes, fires and car wrecks, can be due to a large number of different reasons, how well you plan, prepare and respond to those situations will determine how well you and your family survive them.
Let's get prepared, people. Make sure you have life insurance, an emergency plan and the tools for the unforeseen event that may change your lives.

The thousands along the shore of Lakeport, from Rumsey Bay to Willow Point Resort and points south, thoroughly enjoyed the parade as it passed in review.
The Lakeport Regional Chamber wishes to also extend thanks to the many people who donated to the fireworks “Add A Dollar” campaign to assist with paying for the fireworks display.
The following merchants generously accepted donations for the fireworks: Lakeview Market, Northshore Sentry Market, The Cottage, Renee's, Park Place, Bigg's 155, Linda's Hallmark, Cafe Victoria, Kelseyville Lumber, Piedmont Lumber, Shari's Secret Garden, The Kitchen Gallery, AGM Property Management and Bruno's Shop Smart.
Lakeport Regional Chamber Volunteer Bill Knoll delivered and picked up the donation containers for the campaign. Thanks to City of Light and Bicoastal Media for coordinating the music for the display; to the City of Lakeport Police and Public Works Departments for all their assistance. Our appreciation to the Lakeport Fire District as well.
It takes a great many people to present community programs without whom the Lakeport Regional Chamber could not continue these programs.
Melissa Fulton is chief executive officer of the Lakeport Regional Chamber of Commerce.
