Fergussons: Where's the new turn lane?

Details
Written by: Scott and Linda Fergusson
Published: 22 July 2008
It was our understanding that the road work that closed the old Hidden Valley Lake Main Gate on Highway 29 in Lake County for the last few months was to produce a safe turnout lane into Hidden Valley Lake for southbound traffic.


We were expecting the turnout lane to provide a safe lane so people could avoid being slammed into by drunk and or speeding drivers who are not paying attention (which happened to us and our daughter in separate incidents there).


It seems that a lot of money was spent to do a bunch of nothing there ... What's happening?!


Where's the turn out lane?


Maybe this question would be directed to Ed Robey or maybe Susanne La Faver or Jim Comstock since Ed is on his way to retire. We hope someone knows the story and we're looking forward to hearing it.


Scott and Linda Fergusson lives in Hidden Valley Lake.


Editor's note: Caltrans told Lake County News that the project has been put on hold due to an issue with the newly installed pavement. The lane must be repaved and then striped before the turn lane is complete; however, there is no exact estimate for completion.

Hays: First 5 Commission thanks dentists for help

Details

Published: 21 July 2008
As you may be aware, the First 5 Lake County Commission provides New Parent Kits to parents of children born in Lake County. Keeping babies and young children healthy and free of disease is a large part of the educational materials in these kits.


In order to keep oral health a critical part of this outreach effort, many agencies have provided funding/supplies to ensure each kit contains an infant toothbrush and non-fluoride toothpaste.


In response to a recent request to local dentists to join in our efforts to stop the transmission of oral disease from mother to child we asked for help in providing each kit with an adult-sized toothbrush and dental floss.


We would like to thank the following for their generous donations: Dr. Brian Grey, Dr. Alexander McGeoch, Dr. Thomas Hewlitt and Dr. Prasong Imsaurey


It is certainly apparent you are aware of the importance of establishing the practice of sound oral hygiene as early as possible in a child’s life. Thank you again for helping us to achieve this goal.


Vicki L. Hays is secretary for the First 5 Lake County Commission.

Published: 20 July 2008
On behalf of the Blood Bank of the Redwoods and the Clearlake Oaks Moose Lodge No. 2284, I would like to thank the 31 donors who on July 19 took time from their busy lives to help save other lives. For every pint a person gives, it goes on to help four other people.


There is a need for blood, so if you are 18 years of age or older, over 120 pounds, in good health and can spare 30 minutes every three months, please find a place to donate blood.


It's time to make a difference, it's time to help those who need it most.


For more information on blood drives in your area go to www.bbr.org.


Frank Toney is the Clearlake Oaks Moose Lodge No. 2284's blood drive chair.
