NORTH COAST, Calif. – A single-vehicle crash on Sunday evening near Ukiah claimed the life of a Lakeport man and seriously injured his passenger.
The California Highway Patrol’s Ukiah Area office did not release the name of the 52-year-old man pending notification of kin.
The name of his passenger, a 52-year-old Lakeport woman who sustained moderate injuries, also was not released.
The CHP said the crash occurred at 5:47 p.m. Sunday on Eastside Calpella Road south of Highway 20 East.

LAKEPORT, Calif. – Shakespeare at the Lake’s production of “As You Like It,” rescheduled due to the outbreak of the Mendocino Complex fires, is back on for two free shows.
As the old saying goes, the show must go on!
Sometimes that simply means putting an understudy onstage; other times, it means postponing a show for over a month, coordinating the schedules of dozens of people, finding a new venue and, quite literally, waiting for the smoke to clear.
The mandatory evacuation order for Lakeport was issued July 28, on what would have been opening night of “As You Like It.”
Six weeks after the originally scheduled performance dates, Shakespeare at the Lake’s production of As You Like It will become Shakespeare at the Soper Reese Theatre.
While it won’t be the same as the outdoor production with Clear Lake and Mount Konocti as the backdrop, Director John Tomlinson and the cast and crew are thrilled to finally present the play to an audience and are grateful to the Soper Reese Theatre for providing a venue.
The performances will be free of charge, as originally planned, at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 14, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 16.
Doors will open 30 minutes in advance for first-come, first-served seating.
Love is in the air, peace and freedom ring out. Civil rights, women’s rights, human rights; themes of unity and acceptance; themes that were explored in Shakespeare’s works, more deeply visited in the 1960s, and are reborn in new form in our time.
Shakespeare’s wit shines in the perspective we reveal in the simple changing of gender caused by a simple changing of costume. Are words different if we think a man or a woman spoke them?
Placing the story in the 1960s was inspired by the description of Duke Senior’s band of outlaws. Now banished, he lives in the forest, “and a many merry men with him…like the old Robin Hood of England.” Somehow this conjured images of Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters of the 60s, at odds with the society around them, and a concept was born.
The soundtrack and other design details, once the theme was set, continued to unpack the action of this play. Characters come into focus: a couple hippies here, an acoustic guitarist and a beatnik trading songs, high 60s fashion and tie dyes, and other groovy ideas continued to make the world of the play come alive.
Cast members include Tiffany Harz as Orlando, a young nobleman; Richard Smith, as Adam, his servant; Austin Mueller, his brother Oliver; Benjamin Lopez, as Charles, a wrestler; Hayley Martin, as Celia, the daughter of Duke Frederick; and Barbara Clark, as Rosalind, the daughter of Duke Senior.
Also performing are Annie Barnes, as Touchstone, a fool; Richard Grahn, as Frederick, the new Duke; Lacey Deas, Le Beau, a courtier; Ed Borg, Senior, the old Duke; Jeffrey Schmidt, Amiens, a courtier; Diana Schmidt, Jacques, a courtier; Zack Jordan, as Sylvius, a shepherd; Ashlyn Lesch, as Phebe, a shepherdess; and Zoe Richardson, as Hymen, God of Marriage. Jenifare Martin and Benjamin Lopez are cast as the police.
Members of the chorus and stage crew include Lisa Baker, Sue Bonera, Cindy Sobel, Kaleb Sanderson, Kelly Larsen and Zoe Richardson.
Tomlinson was aided by Laura Barnes, producer; Larry Richardson, assistant director; Lizzy Wold, stage manager; Cindy Sobel, assistant stage manager; Gary Deas, master carpenter; Adam Garrett, scenic painter; Kevin Moore, lighting design; Sarah Dutra, costume design; and Nick Biondo, sound engineer.
Set construction was under the direction of Ethan Miller, Larry Richardson, Kevin Moore and Phil Blair, with painting handled by the entire cast. Poster and program design was created by Tony Novelli, Mendocino College marketing and community relations specialist.
The Lake County Friends of Mendocino College and the Lake County Theatre Co. thank their generous sponsors for making this free production possible. Major donors include the Law Office of Judy Conard, Community First Credit Union, Education Leadership Solutions, Keeling-Barnes Family Foundation, Rotary Club of Lakeport, and Tomkins Tax Consultants.
Significant contributions were made by Linda Drake, Lake County Rural Arts Initiative, Lakeport Main Street Association, Dennis Rollins and Cindy Ustrud, Smith Family Trust, Strong Financial Network, Carl E. Olson, Joan Wadhams, and the Soper Reese Theatre.
Other sponsors include Peggy Campbell, CPA, Elva Hohn, Valerie Jensen, Jimmy’s Deli and Taqueria, Bill and Colleen Kranz, Donald and Lorene McGuire, Lilia Powers, SHN Consulting Engineers and Geologists, Jim and Wilda Shock and Margaret Silveira.
In-kind support for this year’s theatrical gift to the community has been provided by BiCoastal Media, Chacewater Winery, City of Lakeport, Kelseyville Lumber Company, Lake County News, Lake County Publishing, Lake Event Design, Lakeport Police Department, Mendocino College Foundation, Inc., Mendocino College Lake Center, Middletown Mercury, Rosa d’Oro Vineyards and R Vineyards.

“I want to thank them all – cast and technicians and performers, the efforts of many community members and sponsors – the showing of support and unity each year truly make my heart swell,” said Tomlinson.
The third annual production of Shakespeare at the Lake is presented by Mendocino College Lake Center and the Lake County Theatre Co. in cooperation with the Lake County Friends of Mendocino College and the City of Lakeport.
The Soper Reese Theatre is located at 275 S. Main St. in Lakeport; call 707-263-0577 for more information.
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – After burning for a month and a half, the Mendocino Complex continues to hold just a few percentage points from full containment.
The 459,123-acre Mendocino Complex on Monday was at 98-percent containment, where it’s remained for nearly a week, according to a report from Mendocino National Forest spokeswoman Punky Moore.
The Mendocino Complex is being managed by Southern California Interagency Incident Management Team 3, Moore said.
The Ranch fire portion of the complex, which is 410,203 acres and also 98-percent contained, is the actively burning part of the complex, Moore reported. The River fire was fully contained nearly a month ago at 48,920 acres.
Moore said firefighters are working to contain the last section of the Ranch fire, patrolling firelines and doing suppression repair.
There are 672 miles of fireline that required suppression repair work. To date, crews have completed suppression repair work on 69 percent of the fireline, Moore said.
Fire suppression repair work consists of cutting hazard trees to ensure firefighters are working in safe areas, reducing dirt berms, spreading cut vegetation and building water bars to minimize soil erosion. Moore said additional suppression repair needs are being discovered as crews continue to work around the perimeter of the fire.
On Monday, both fire camps – in Ukiah and Stonyford – were condensed into one Incident Command Post at Stonyford, where the bulk of the suppression repair work remains, the Forest Service said.
Moore explained that relocating a fire camp involves numerous moving parts: all kinds of vehicles, crew buggies, tractor trailers containing shower and food preparation units, the wiring to connect each trailer with telephones, electricity, internet, a water source, place to camp and park trailers.
The person responsible for making this move seamless is a qualified logistics chief. Moore said the logistics section can organize a small town, even if it’s temporary fire camp for 3,000 people and 300 vehicles.
The Ranch fire area on the Mendocino National Forest remains closed as described in Forest Order 08-18-15. Moore said the purpose of the closure is to provide for public safety, and for the firefighters who are engaged in fire suppression and repair efforts within the Ranch Fire closure area.
The closure area applies to all public use, including hunting, the use of firearms and off-highway vehicles. The northern half of the forest is open for outdoor activities. Forest visitors can contact the ranger station nearest their destination for current information, Moore said.
Resources assigned to the incident include 645 personnel, 14 engines, 11 hand crews, two helicopters and 16 dozers, according to Moore.
The California Department of Public Health reported that there are two confirmed deaths in California due to West Nile virus.
The deceased persons were residents of Glenn and Yuba counties.
“We are still in a peak period of West Nile virus transmission in the state so we urge everyone to take every possible precaution to protect themselves against mosquito bites,” said CDPH Director and State Health Officer Dr. Karen Smith.
As of September 7, CDPH has reported 56 human cases of WNV from 21 California counties this year.
Additionally, 422 dead birds from 18 counties have tested positive for WNV in 2018, and 1,606 mosquito samples from 28 counties have also tested positive for WNV this year.
The only WNV detected in Lake County so far this year have been four mosquito samples and one sentinel chicken, state officials reported.
West Nile virus is influenced by many factors, including climate, the number and types of birds and mosquitoes in an area, and the level of WNV immunity in birds.
It virus is transmitted to humans and animals by the bite of an infected mosquito. The risk of serious illness to most people is low. However, some individuals – less than 1 percent – can develop serious neurologic illnesses such as encephalitis or meningitis.
People 60 years of age and older and individuals with diabetes or hypertension have a higher chance of getting sick, and are more likely to develop complications.
CDPH recommends that individuals protect against mosquito bites and WNV by practicing the “Three Ds”:
– DEET: Apply insect repellent containing DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus or IR3535 according to label instructions. Repellents keep the mosquitoes from biting you. Insect repellents should not be used on children under two months of age.
– DAWN AND DUSK: Mosquitoes that transmit West Nile Virus usually bite in the early morning and evening so it is important to wear proper clothing and repellent if outside during these times. Make sure your doors and windows have tight-fitting screens to keep out mosquitoes. Repair or replace screens that have tears or holes.
– DRAIN: Mosquitoes lay their eggs on standing water. Eliminate all sources of standing water on your property by emptying flower pots, old car tires, buckets, and other containers. If you know of a swimming pool that is not being properly maintained, please contact your local mosquito and vector control agency.

Californians are encouraged to report dead birds on the website or by calling toll-free 1-877-WNV-BIRD (968-2473).

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA – Firefighters on Monday held the Snell fire to no new growth and raised containment enough that evacuations were lifted.
The fire, which overnight had grown by 90 acres to 2,490 acres, stayed at that size on Monday evening, with containment growing to 45 percent, according to Cal Fire.
The fire began on Saturday afternoon in Napa County, several miles southeast of Middletown.
While it threatened 180 homes in the area – including those at Berryessa Estates subdivision – Cal Fire said no structures have been damaged or destroyed.
The situation improved to the point on Monday where all evacuations and road closures were lifted. However, Cal Fire urged residents and the public to use caution as fire crews and emergency personnel are still working in the area.
A cooling trend is in the forecast, and Cal Fire said that should help fire suppression efforts.
The resources that remain assigned to the incident include 132 engines, 20 water tenders, 31 fire crews, seven helicopters, 20 bulldozers, six air tankers and 1,234 personnel, Cal Fire reported.
Cal Fire said the Snell fire’s cause remains under investigation.
