I call this listing "The Lake County Wall of Money." The listing is on poster boards that I hang from a framework that is 24 feet in length. The posters hang from the front and back of the framework. So far I have over 5,000 names listed with over $1 million coming.
I've completed the listing for all the Lake county towns except the city of Clearlake. I'm working on Clearlake. They have over 3,000 people with money coming to them.
Some of the people have moved from the area, others may be deceased. People visiting the senior center and observing the list sometimes recognize people that they know and provide me with information as to their present status or address.
I cannot claim the property for an individual but I will assist anyone in making their claim. All I ask is that when they receive the property that they make a donation to the senior center.
Needless to say, this information is on the Internet but not in the concise town-by-town layout that I have provided.
One beneficiary of my search is the County of Lake that had about $2,000 coming unknown to them. I would really like to find the couple from Lower Lake who has over $50,000 due them.
Anyway, come have breakfast with us (it's only $6 for a great breakfast) and check out the "WALL OF MONEY.”

I want to bring to the attention of the people in this county and this great nation a group of extraordinary people that have the ability to show tremendous courage. I am writing about those that were either born with or developed a disability during their lifetime.
I personally have dealt with people that come from many walks of life, and with the disabilities that became of my own family, with a wife that suffered renal failure, due to a certain medication, a kidney transplant from my daughter, and later, subsequent death during a "simple" operation. I have a son who developed seizures due to an accident he had when he was young.
These are my personal stories, but many people can relate to what I have watched my family go through. These extraordinary people push on with their lives, not knowing what is in store for them from day to day. They persevere through the same troubles that "normal" people have to deal with, yet they manage to hold their heads high. There are times when they can be down, and they absolutely have that right to be, without being judged by those that are not dealing with a disability.
As a father who helps his son through his disability with seizures, it pains me to watch him suffer, especially when, at times he says, "Dad, I don't know if I have the strength to go on," and when he asks me if he is being "punished." It's hard to find the words to help him, but I know, in my heart, that he has the courage of a lion and he fits the mold of many of these individuals who are dealing with these setbacks.
Please remember those who are disabled and remember the strength and courage that it takes for them to survive, in today's day and age.

Lake Family Resource Center would like to thank the many people involved in the “All That” Camp for Girls during June. Lake County residents and organizations came together during the last week of June to give 53 local girls, ages 11 through 15, the opportunity to participate in a week long camp designed especially for them.
Double Platinum level sponsors included the Delta Iota Tau Sorority and the Lakeport Main Street Association, each donating $1,500. Platinum sponsors included the Konocti Lioness Club, Lake County Children’s Council, Yuba College CLAS, Middletown Lioness Club, Anita Gordon, Center for Healing Integration, Clearlake Oaks Women of the Moose, Coyote, Beverly Bergstrom, Garett and Katherine Law of the Retired Teachers Association, and Clearlake Veterinary Clinic. Gold Sponsors included Clearlake Oaks-Glenhaven Business Association, Lakeport Lions, and Carol & Steven Schepper. Silver and individual sponsors included: Shore Line Realty, Girlfriends-Clearlake, Narley Dude Ranch, Loyal Order of the Moose No. 2284, Soroptimist of Clear Lake, Dr. James Kinsell, DDS, Dufrain Publishing, Bill Ruehmann, Chief Kevin Burke of the Lakeport Police Department, Richard and Kathy Freeborn, and Aggie Berry.
As with any activity of this size, nothing would have happened without the many volunteers. One hundred and six community members worked to make the camp a success, including 26 members of the planning committee (a sub-committee of the Lake Domestic Violence Prevention Council).
Thank you so much to the following people for helping bring this camp to the girls of Lake County: Liberty Perry, Renee Griffin, Kayla Hickey, Katrina Hickey, Vicki Hays, Holly Ari, Leslie Lovejoy, Lee Perales, Erika Gonzalez, Suzy Rudofker, JoAnn Sacatto, Lauralee Roarke, Mary Ferrera, Leslie Levitas, Sandra Wade, Anne Card, Iyabode Manley, Deb Ley, Carrie White, Chloe Karl, Vida Feola, Catherine Rose, Carol Schepper, Roz Griffin, Jonathan Killops, Toni Jordan, Rose Brown, Brad Rasmussen, Tom Jordan, Maria Diaz, Annie Barnes, Zoe Flowers, Jared Hendricks, Michelle Meek, Teresa Stewart, Fawn Williams, Susan Dufrain, Donna Montgomery, Andre Ari, Camille Goldberg, Arch Kottler, Zach Burroughs, Jim Davis, Michael Rupe, Coyote, Marla Peterson, Sandra West, Susan Harmon, Jan MacLean, Judy Thein, Erica Harrison, Loraine Montano, Christina Drukala, Fayette Thom, Gail Dyne, Shannon Bucher, Laura Daly, Kathleen Sheckells, Daree Olson-Marks, Jeri Spittler, Linda Jensen, Norma Benitez, Laura Harris, Diane Davis, Janice Thomas, Bonnie Kelly, Tami Tajeda, Janice Hodges, Angela Reising, Beck Grant and Loretta Salvato. A big thanks also goes to the five “brave” teen camp counselors: Felicia Schlapkohl, Alexandra Vidien, Robin Fouche, Sophie Foster and Shannon Barnes.
Again, thank you to everyone who made “All That” so successful. I’m sure there are names I’ve missed, and if so, I’m sorry. Everyone who worked on this event was so valuable and I’m so appreciative of your efforts.
Gloria Flaherty is executive director of the Lake Family Resource Center, based in Lakeport.

Lake County is just beautiful. You could be any were in the world just being here.
Yes I would like to see some BEAUTIFUL HOMES here. Not the trash that's here. Business needs to be encouraged to come here. Farm land and open space should be saved. That's what helps make this county so lovely.
In my opinion the supervisors do not have a clue what they are doing ... and that means all of them. Do any of you go out and look at the trash homes and trailers that are laying in the waste? I don't think so. If you did it wouldn't be there.
Before you make plans for anything, how about cleaning up these terrible areas? You have to lay a foundation that's neat and clean. It seems to me they are putting the cart before the horse.
Open your eyes and let's not add to the mess we already have, making it worse instead of better. Let's start clean and neat.
Make plans for the next 100 years. So the next fellow can continue keeping this area beautiful for ever. That's how I feel
