City officials wish everyone a safe and joyful holiday weekend.

LAKEPORT, Calif. — The city of Lakeport has opened a sandbag station in response to this week’s atmospheric river storms.

The Lakeport Public Works Department has made sandbags available to help residents prepare for potential flooding.

The sandbags are available at 901 Larrecou Lane, cross of Konocti Avenue.

They will provide sand, shovels and bags — while supplies last.

This is a self-serve station, and no staff will be available to assist.

Caltrans has been awarded a $5.6 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation as part of the 2023 Advanced Transportation Technology and Innovation, or ATTAIN, program to provide real-time, critical information to drivers by connecting vehicles and roadside equipment with cellular networks.

“Caltrans is poised to lead the future of transportation by pioneering intelligent, technology-driven solutions that make our roads safer and reduce travel times,” said Caltrans Director Tony Tavares. "Real-time information provided through electronic highway message signs and other means will give drivers the heads-up they need to avoid congestion and have more reliable commutes.”

This funding will build upon Caltrans’ efforts to advance connected vehicle (CV) technology’s safety features, data accuracy, and communication.

Objectives of the project include expanding the accuracy and reach of real-time information messages to drivers; assuring compatibility of various CV hardware and applications; deployment of video analytics at intersections to support pedestrian and cyclist safety; and supporting multiple CV technologies and communications media such as 5G and satellite to ensure all road users benefit.

KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Kelseyville Rotary launched a drive to gather food staples just in time for Thanksgiving.

Food will be collected through Nov. 20.

Collection bins are located at the Grocery Outlet in Lakeport and Riviera Foods in Kelseyville.

Shoppers are encouraged to grab a can or two (or more) during their shopping trips and drop them into the collection bins.

Items that are needed include peanut butter, jelly, canned vegetables and fruits, spaghetti sauce, tuna fish and canned meats. Cans with pop top lids are especially helpful.

The food collected will be donated to the Kelseyville Food Pantry. Food Pantry organizers ask donors to please make sure that the food items donated are not expired, as they cannot use food with an expired use by date.

This effort will complement the food drive being held at Kelseyville High School with the food items also going to the Kelseyville Food Pantry.

Kelseyville High School teacher and Rotary Interact Advisor Virginia Hamlin has organized a food drive at the High School. She and her crew of teacher aides are busy gathering donations of unexpired nonperishable food from students and keeping track of the number of cans per student in each class.

The class with the highest average number of cans per student will be rewarded with a breakfast party.

The Kelseyville Food Pantry, a collaboration of the Presbyterian, United Methodist, and Unitarian Universalist churches in Kelseyville has been feeding the hungry in Kelseyville and beyond since 2012.

The Food Pantry is open the second and fourth Tuesdays from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the Kelseyville Presbyterian Church Friendship Hall, located at 4021 Third St.

Other Rotary projects

Kelseyville Sunrise Rotarians have had a busy fall with more plans coming up before the New Year.

In October, they gave away 150 bicycle helmets at the Sutter Health and Wellness Expo and handed out candy and treats at Trick or Treat on Main Street Plans are in the works for decorating a holiday tree for the Hospice Festival of Trees to raise funds for Hospice programs and hosting a booth at the Kelseyville Parade of Lights on December 6th to hand out holiday treats.
