CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The 36th annual Catfish Derby, an event sponsored by the Clearlake Oaks-Glenhaven Business Association, is scheduled for May 17 to 19, and is now accepting entries.
This year, the derby will be featured at the International Sportsmen’s Expo in Sacramento – California’s largest outdoor exposition, with more than 600 exhibitors and drawing outdoor sports enthusiasts from throughout the country and beyond.
The expo runs from Jan. 17 through 20 at Cal Expo, 1600 Exposition Blvd., in Sacramento.
“The Catfish Derby is the largest of its kind west of the Mississippi,” said Dennis Locke, chair of the 2019 Annual Derby. “Like our Derby, the Expo draws people from throughout the United States. It is the perfect venue to kickoff the Derby,” he said.
Catfish Derby volunteers will be on hand at the Lake County Chamber of Commerce booth, along with others, to promote Lake County, distribute the information rich Lake County Destinations magazine and hand out sign up information for the Derby.
“We are excited to be included in the Chamber of Commerce efforts to promote Lake County at the International Expo in Sacramento,” said Locke.
Derby entry forms are available and can be downloaded online at www.clearlakeoaks.org/derby and mailed to P.O. Box 1211, Clearlake Oaks, CA 95423.
Also accepting entries for the Derby are Limit Out Bait and Tackle located on 12607 East Highway 20 in Clearlake Oaks and Susie Q’s Donuts, located on 414 S. Main St. in Lakeport.
Entry forms will also be accepted in person at Derby Headquarters on May 16 and May 17 at the Clearlake Oaks Fire Station on 12655 East Highway 20.
Locke thanked the fire station for again hosting the event and Limit Out and Susie Q’s for supporting the derby and providing the added convenience to participants.
Derby flyers are being distributed to local businesses, the chamber, visitor centers and other locations. Anyone interested in volunteering or supporting the Derby is encouraged to call the hotline number, 707-596-0248.
The derby culminates on Sunday, the last day of the derby, in a community barbecue where the winners are announced. Many of the 900-plus participants return year after year, joining family and friends at the competition.
“As important as the awards are, it’s the camaraderie that builds with each passing year that makes the Annual Catfish Derby a success,” said Locke. “The Derby Committee and all our volunteers are looking forward to another great event.”

The California Department of Public Health announced that influenza activity is increasing throughout California. Health officials encourage Californians to get vaccinated.
“It is important to get vaccinated now if you have not done so already,” said CDPH Director and State Public Health Officer Dr. Karen Smith. “I encourage everyone six months of age and older to be vaccinated to help protect themselves and others from the dangers of flu.”
Flu activity is occurring throughout every region of the state and above expected levels for this time of year, Smith reported.
Although the severity of the flu season cannot yet be determined, Californians should take precautions, including vaccination.
“Flu activity usually reaches its peak January and February, but typically continues to spread through the spring,” said Dr. Smith. “With most of the flu season still to come, it’s not too late to get vaccinated.”
Each year, the flu causes millions of illnesses, hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations and thousands or sometimes tens of thousands of deaths in the United States.
Common symptoms of the flu include fever or feeling feverish, a cough and/or sore throat, a runny or stuffy nose, chills, fatigue and body aches. Children may also have nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.
To stop the spread of flu and other respiratory illnesses, CDPH recommends these steps:
· Stay home when sick.
· Cover a cough or sneeze with an elbow or tissue and throw the tissue in the trash.
· Wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
· Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
Californians should contact their health care provider, pharmacy or a clinic about obtaining the flu vaccine. Some local health departments may also offer low- or no-cost flu shots.
For more information about the flu, including weekly updates on fly activity, visit the CDPH influenza Web page. To find a vaccine location near you, visit HealthMap Vaccine Finder.

LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport City Council is due to consider accepting from Bank of America its former bank building, which was closed as a branch at the end of 2017.
The council will meet in closed session at 5:15 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 15, for a closed session to discuss potential litigation before convening the open portion of the meeting at 6 p.m. in the council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St.
City Manager Margaret Silveira will take to the council the resolution to accept the property at 500 N. Main St.
Silveira’s report to the council explained that, after the announcement by Bank of America that it would be closing its Lakeport branch, city staff contacted the bank and asked if it was willing to donate the property to the city of Lakeport for a community center.
“After a letter appealing to the bank and several conversations, we were very excited to have received the confirmation that BofA was going to donate the property to the City of Lakeport,” Silveira wrote in her report.
She said the bank agreed to the donation based on the city’s commitment to a lease agreement allowing the bank to continue operating its ATM at the current location.
“BofA has completed the needed upgrades to the ATM to operate independently of the building and are now ready to complete the donation process. They also offered to pay for the closing costs. Closing is anticipated to be complete by Jan. 31, 2019,” Silveira said.
The property’s appraised value is $440,000, according to the resolution.
The council also will consider appointing Alan Flora to the Lakeport Fire Protection District Board to a term effective Jan. 1 and expiring Dec. 31, 2022; will discuss Mayor Tim Barnes’ appointments of council members as liaisons to various boards, committees and commissions; and adopt a resolution appointing representatives to represent and vote on behalf of the city at the League of California Cities, Redwood Empire Division Business meetings and represent the City and vote at Division Legislative Committee meetings.
On Tuesday a public hearing also will take place for the adoption of a resolution approving an application for funding and the execution of a grant agreement and any amendments for the 2018 funding year of the state Community Development Block Grant program.
In other business, the council – sitting as the Successor Agency to the Former Redevelopment Agency – will approve the recognized obligation payments schedule for the period of July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020, for presentation and adoption by the Countywide Oversight Board; awards will be presented to the winners of the holiday decorating contest sponsored by the Lakeport Main Street Association; and the council will consider approving a mural, based on artwork submitted by Ben Van Steenburgh, for the south facing wall of Lakeport Fire Station No. 50.
On the consent agenda – items considered noncontroversial and usually accepted as a slate on one vote – are ordinances; minutes of the Dec. 18 meeting; confirming the continuing existence of a local emergency in the city of Lakeport; approval of the transfer of 902 Bevins Court from the city of Lakeport to the Successor Agency of the Former Lakeport Redevelopment Agency; adoption of the proposed resolution adopting a records retention schedule, and authorizing destruction of certain City records and rescinding Resolution No. 2668 (2018); authorization the city manager to execute the professional services agreement with CDS for federal grant loan underwriting services; and authorizing the city manager to execute a professional services agreement with Adams Ashby Group LLC for federal grant administration.
