The Stars Committee is actively seeking nominations from throughout Lake County, in 21 categories for these prestigious awards.
The program is co-sponsored Konocti Harbor Resort & Spa and more than 30 Lake County businesses. It provides recognition for the hardworking volunteers, businesses and organizations that do so much for Lake County.
It is the only recognition program of its kind in the county, states Jan Parkinson, Lakeport Regional Chamber of Commerce president. Parkinson notes that without those sponsorships the program could not take place.
More than 220 Star Awards have been given in the past 11 years of this program. It is only through the residents of Lake County that the Chamber learns of nominees. Look around at the people, businesses and organizations you deal with daily, for potential nominees. Who will your nominee be?
Please remember that Stars is not a popularity contest, it is not the number of times an entity is nominated, but rather the details for which they are nominated. When the Selection Committee, comprised of people from all around Lake County, receive the book of nominations, they need all the reasons you feel the nominee deserves to be selected as a Star of Lake County.
Please state which category you want the nominee to be placed in as you know them best. The nomination form for Stars of Lake County 2009 is online at www.lakeportchamber.com. The deadline for nominations is Friday, Feb. 27, at 5 p.m. at the chamber office on Lakeport Boulevard or postmarked by that date. Online nominations must also have the same date to be considered for the 2009 Awards Program.
Once again, Sutter Lakeside Hospital is sponsoring a limited number of dinner tickets for our nominees. Nominees only may purchase tickets through March 3. This year, the dinner tickets are $50 per person, with tickets going on sale to the general public on Wednesday, March 4. These tickets sell out quickly each year, so plan to get yours as soon as they are available.
For more information, contact the chamber at 263-5092.

In order for the MRF to operate efficiently, produce saleable products and receive landfill diversion credit as required by the State of California, recyclables received at the facility must be clean and uncontaminated with garbage.
Acceptable items include clean newspaper, office paper and non-waxed paper products, cereal boxes, milk cartons, milk and water jugs, plastic beverage containers, glass food and beverage containers, aluminum and tin cans, and plastics labeled with a one through seven on the bottom of the container.
Rigid plastics, such as plastic buckets and laundry baskets are acceptable, however they must fit loosely in the cart with the lid closed.
There should be absolutely no food waste placed in recycle carts. Food containers should be empty or rinsed of residual food waste. Recyclables should be placed loosely in the blue cart and should not be bagged. Contaminated recyclables are treated as garbage and must be sent to the landfill.
The MRF is owned and operated by Pacific Recycling Solutions (PRS), an affiliate of C and S Waste Solutions of California, based in Ukiah. The facility is used by commercial recycling haulers only and is not open to the public, however tours will be offered to school and other groups beginning in late spring.
Pacific Recycling Solutions and its affiliates, Ukiah Waste Solutions, Lake County Waste Solutions and Clearlake Waste Solutions are initiating an aggressive campaign to clean up recyclables and are asking all its customers to recycle responsibly.
The campaign will include the distribution of educational materials, presentations to school and civic groups, curbside cart audits, non-collection of contaminated carts, and ultimately additional charges to customers who continue to place contaminated materials in their recycling carts.
Information regarding what can be placed in recycling receptacles can be found at www.candswaste.com or by calling 234-6400.
To request a presentation to your classroom or organization, contact Julie Price at 234-6423.
