Charlie Jolin is a visionary. He wanted to see children and adults playing soccer, baseball and softball on fields of a caliber that would attract tournaments to Lakeport. His community has been developing that dream for the past 15 years.
The generous donations of materials, services and financial support from individuals, businesses and organizations that recognize the value of Charlie’s vision have made Westside Community Park on the western boundary of Lakeport a major recreational facility for the region.
The family of Victor and Jane Barnes and the Keeling-Barnes Family Foundation are grateful to Charlie, and to the Westside Community Park Committee, the Lakeport Parks and Recreation Commission, and the Lakeport City Council for naming Phase II of the park as Jane Barnes Field.
This naming honors Jane Barnes for her years of advocacy and involvement in programs for youth in Lake County.
The park committee continues to develop and expand the park. Contributions of any amount to support these efforts may be sent at any time to Dennis Rollins, chairman, 1350 Berry St., Lakeport.
More information is available at www.westsidecommunitypark.org .
A new season of soccer has started; the community is invited to visit your park and cheer on the youth and adults who are enjoying the results of your support.
Wilda Shock is the daughter of Victor and Jane Barnes. She lives in Lakeport, Calif.

In June of this year a longtime Kelseyville High School teacher, Mary Pat Adams, passed away unexpectedly after battling a long illness.
Mary Pat had no family here. She left behind her dear kitty, Black Bart. Her dogs were dealt with but I don't think anyone knew about her cat.
After weeks of looking for him as I drove by the house, I saw him at the end of June, starving, wounded, very sick and extremely weak.
I have been stopping by his house mornings and evenings to feed him and give him a little attention. He is fat and happy again and doing very well. I am hoping there is someone out there who will give him the love he needs.
Black Bart is an older male, neutered and very friendly. He clearly misses his mom and I am hoping there is someone out there who will adopt him.
Please call me if you have any questions or would like to meet him.
Mary Morse owns Kelseyville Appliance in Kelseyville, Calif. You can contact her about Black Bart at telephone 707-278-0411 or 707-279-8559.
