UPPER LAKE, Calif. — The Lake County Land Trust’s Rodman Preserve at 6350 Westlake Drive near Upper Lake is continuing to welcome visitors on Saturdays but hours have changed to 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The previous 10 a.m. opening is not appropriate for summer because of the heat.
The preserve offers a moderate one and a half mile walk where visitors will see birdlife and even some mammals like foxes and coyotes.
A volunteer will open the gate at 9 a.m. and visitors are asked to sign in before embarking on a pleasant self-guided morning walk.
The nature center remains closed but visitors are welcome to enjoy the walk and the open air back porch.
Go to the Lake County Land Trust website at www.lakecountylandtrust.org for more information and don’t mistake the Rodman Preserve for the Rodman Slough County Park which is down the road from the Preserve on the Nice-Lucerne Cutoff.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Respect, confidence, humility, self-discipline. These are all but a few things the newly established Gladiator Wrestling Club stands for.
Starting this November, the Gladiator Wrestling Club is opening its doors for wrestlers looking to take their wrestling skills to the next level.
Peter Stephan is teaming up with Blake Fredrickson, who is a former Lower Lake and Windsor wrestler, as well as Troy Dahneke, current head coach of Lower Lake High School, to offer a program for the kids of Clearlake and surrounding communities.
“We are thrilled to bring such a wonderful sport to this area as wrestling has changed my life bringing many successes along the way,” said Stephan, the club president.
Wrestling practices will take place at Burns Valley Elementary in Clearlake.
Gladiator Wrestling Club kicked off their inaugural season by first having a cornhole tournament at The Spot which helped get the club up and running.
Their next fundraising opportunity will be a luau theme event hosted at the Cache Creek Winery in Clearlake Oaks from 5 to 9:30 p.m. Saturday, July 9.
The event will feature a concert by Jason Arcilla and the Rhythm Sons all the way from Maui and a VIP food provided by Barbecue by Biasotti.
The club offered a big thank you to the Clearlake Police Officers Association for its donation of $500 and its support. The proceeds will be able to help wrestlers in their upcoming season.
Fundraisers aren’t the only thing Gladiator Wrestling Club has been doing this summer. They have partnered with Adventist Health and the newly formed Konocti Sports Club which is giving back to the community by offering free wrestling practices over the summer to help new wrestlers learn the basic skills of the sport.
The club also has plans to host a wrestling camp July 30 at Lower Lake High School from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
