St. John’s parish struggles to keep up with the needs of those who are hungry in our community, and can’t thank enough the Terrace Middle School students and staff who collected the much-needed food.
Special appreciation goes to eighth grade student Brice Beare for chairing the food drive as part of Terrace Middle School’s California Junior Scholarship Federation (CJSF). CJSF emphasizes high standards of scholarship and community service for California junior high school students.
We also could not have been more pleased with the lovely card and pictures created by the students of Mrs. Ver Linden and Mrs. Dunn. Thank you each and every one!
With much gratefulness for these fine young people, we wish everyone a blessed Christmas season!
Please join us Christmas Eve for a joyous 10:30 p.m. candlelight service at St. John’s, 1190 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.
Barbara Knight is St. John’s senior warden and Fr. Leo M. Joseph, O.S.F., is St. John’s parish priest.

Judy Thein has consistently turned her back on what the citizens of Clearlake have clearly wanted as a direction for their city to go in. She had voted on most occasions according to the city administrator's recommendation, disregarding public outcry.
Not only has she forgotten her campaign promises but is very motivated towards her own agenda.
Obviously Joyce Overton – who prides herself on listening to public opinion, is quite aware the public is not happy with Judy's voting habits – has not only forgotten her campaign promises but has shown her true colors in nominating Judy as our next mayor and subjecting the citizens to more of the same.
This nomination quickly followed Judy Thein then nominating Joyce Overton for vice mayor.
This may seem quite coincidental to some but to those of us who know the bad blood between the two and attend council meetings regularly, it seems scripted and politically motivated.
Joyce, who is currently running for supervisor, obviously by this action does not have the city of Clearlake's best interest in mind. Why would anyone think that she would have the county's best interest in mind if elected supervisor?
Let's vote out the ones that continue to keep our city looking like a third world community but also that keep the good ol' boys club alive and well continuing on into 2010.
Bill Shields lives in Clearlake.

The boutique was held in the Greenview Room on Sunday, Dec. 6, and over $263 was collected from booth fees and personal donations. These funds will be used to help support the HVLA Fireworks Show held every year.
In addition to the boutique, many of those participating satisfied their food and beverage needs in the Greenview Restaurant and Mulligan’s Lounge to round out their day of gift shopping.
We would also like to thank Mike Zuech, HVLA food and beverage manager, and the restaurant staff for making the Greenview Room available and helping with the Boutique. Thanks also to the HVLA staff and Loralee Anderson for publishing this event in the HVLA View. Many thanks also to the Times Star, The Valley Magazine, the Record-Bee, the South County News, Lake County News and Connie Stufloten, events coordinator for HVL for all the wonderful advertising of our event. You all were great!

Members of the Clear Lake Trowel and Trellis Garden Club would like to thank our community for supporting our garden club by purchasing handmade fresh greenery wreaths.
The first week in December our club spends three days making fresh greenery wreaths. With the profits we support our local high school students by giving two $1,000 scholarships.
This year we also wanted to honor our military by placing wreaths on the Blue Star Memorial and the Vietnam Memorial by the Veterans Building and also in Library Park on the World War II Memorial.
Claire Grieve is the Clear Lake Trowel and Trellis Garden Club's publicity chair. She lives in Lakeport.
