LOWER LAKE, Calif. — The series of “Senior Days” events at Anderson Marsh State Historic Park continue on Saturday, June 15, with a fascinating day of learning planned.
The morning program will feature Chris Watt, a geologist who has worked as an interpretive ranger with the National Park Service at the Grand Canyon and as Field Naturalist with the United States Geological Survey.
Watt will give an entertaining presentation about what he calls the "active geology" of Lake County — its volcanoes, landslides and geysers. There are a few places left for this program, so use the link below to register if you wish to attend.
In the afternoon, Greg Giusti, a local biologist who specializes in trees and forest management, will lead a discussion and “Q&A” session about the trees we see as we drive around Lake County, which trees to plant and how to take care of your trees at home.
Giusti is forests and wildland ecology advisor emeritus for the University of California Division of Natural Resources Cooperative Extension.
Giusti will present a talk with lots of time for questions and answers. There will be the chance to ask any questions you may have about trees you see in the wild, home landscaping, or garden tree care.
So, if you have questions about the trees around you, tree disease or how to deal with an unruly tree in your garden, this is the perfect opportunity to get them answered by an expert.
To register for one or both of the June 15 events, or any other future Senior Days events, visit AMIA's website.
Time will be available between the morning and afternoon sessions to bring and enjoy a picnic lunch under the big Valley Oak in the picnic area.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Lake County Campus of Woodland Community College is expected to soon have a new dean.
The Yuba Community College Board will consider approving the hire of Korinda Ebenhack when it meets this week.
The open session of the board’s regular meeting will take place beginning at 5 p.m. Thursday, June 13, at Yuba College, 2088 N. Beale Road, Building 300-Flavors, Marysville.
The meeting also will be available via Zoom. The link is here; the meeting ID is 841 8345 5774 and the call-in number is 669-900-6833.
On the agenda under board action is the board’s proposed acceptance of Ebenhack’s employment as Lake County Campus dean.
The job has been filled on an interim basis by Patricia Barba since November, following the departure of Dean Ingrid Larsen, who left to take a position at Mendocino College in September.
Ebenhack is an independent education consultant from Grants Pass, Oregon. She previously served for 25 years as vice president of student affairs at Rogue Community College, also located in Grants Pass, according to her LinkedIn profile.
At Rogue Community College, Ebenhack’s LinkedIn profile said she oversaw all aspects of the student services division at the rural, multi-campus community college, which reportedly provides educational services to 18,000 Southern Oregon students annually.
The board agenda said Ebenhack’s base yearly rate will be $142,330, with additional health and welfare benefits. As of Monday night, the full contract was not yet posted on the district website.
The dean’s job is considered key to the future of the Lake County Campus in Clearlake, which has served the community for 52 years.
There have been rising concerns over the last several years from community leaders, and college staff and students about how the Yuba Community College District and Woodland Community College have treated the Lake County Campus, which has languished due to reduced resources and support.
However, Chancellor Dr. Shouan Pan and new Woodland Community College President Dr. Lizette Navarette have made repeated visits to the campus to speak with community members and pledge to help the campus’ situation improve, with a focus on getting a new dean in place.
Also on Thursday, the college board will consider confirming other key hires, including Dr. King Xiong as dean of student development at Yuba College and Carrie Melhert as director of health and medical career programs and nursing at Yuba College, and will discuss a proposed revision to the 2023-24 budget and the tentative 2024-25 budget.
