Future Pro Tour came to town again for their last fishing tournament of the year and we sent them off with a fantastic barbecue lunch.
Andre from Silks barbecued, Dian Gibson from Sunset Fishing Resort helped to organize, and Clear Lake Cottages & Marina, Clearlake Public Works Department, Dave Hughes Realty, Foods Etc., Curt Giambruno, Lake County Winegrape Commission and Vista del Lago provided the tri-tip and sausage lunch to 240 hungry fishermen and women.
So many people helped with donations and volunteered their time to prepare and serve, special thanks go out to: Edgewater Resort , Girlfriends Salon, Phillip and Michaele Snelling, city of Clearlake Police Department, Chuck and Vicki Leonard, Clearlake Bait & Tackle, Lakeshore Bait & Tackle, Featherbed Railroad, and Hanitzy Party Rentals and Services here in Clearlake.
We heard many thank yous from the fishermen and the staff from Future Pro Tour. We want each and every one of the volunteers and community members who helped out with this event to know they appreciated all your hard work and time. You made the event great!
Lori Peters is executive director of the Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce based in Clearlake, Calif.

I just read your Aug. 18 story entitled “Supervisors accept Middletown Area Plan, leave vineyard property out of community boundary,” which discussed Supervisor Jim Comstock's unsuccessful attempt to include within Middletown's new community growth boundary a 105-acre parcel of agricultural land owned by Rudy and Faith Smith.
The Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 against this with Comstock voting yes.
I did a little research, and discovered that not so coincidentally, Rudy and Faith contributed at least $1,000 to Comstock's 2008 campaign for supervisor from District 1. This appears to be a blatant attempt by Comstock to pay back the Smiths for their support.
I can only conclude that Comstock's for sale.
Jim Comstock's a nice enough guy, but clearly the wrong guy for the job, so let's be sure to make him a one-term supervisor. This sort of Blagojevich-type behavior is exactly what we don't need at the Board of Supervisors.

This Sunday, Aug. 15, marks the 65th anniversary of Japan’s surrender to the Allied Forces.
While the official end of the war did not come until Sept. 2, the end of fighting in the Pacific effectively marked the end of the fighting.
As a nation we cannot forget the tremendous sacrifice made by those who fought in World War II.
Congress recently passed legislation memorializing the end of World War II and helping pay tribute to these brave warriors.
Currently there are over 6,400 surviving veterans who served our country honorably during World War II who live within the boundaries of the First Congressional District.
We salute and thank each of them for a job well done, especially Laverne Mack from Napa, who has worked hard to ensure that our nation does not forget our World War II veterans.
And as we recognize and thank World War II veterans let us remember the dedication and sacrifice being made by all those in uniform who put their lives on the line each day for our country.
Congressman Mike Thompson (D-St. Helena) represents the First Congressional District in the US House of Representatives.
