In order to minimize these adverse effects we have to figure out effective, practical techniques for dealing with these organisms during their periodic population explosions, but it is also very important to understand the relationship of the "algae" to the unique ecology of Clear Lake, and to promote actions that will foster the long term health of the Lake and its watershed, such as restoration of natural lakeside vegetation, reduction of erosion, and elimination of as many sources of pollution as possible.
In order to promote public understanding of these complicated issues, the Sierra Club Lake Group is hosting a special forum, "Stewards of the Lake," when an expert panel consisting of Yuba College Professor Dr. Harry Lyons, County Water Resources Engineer Tom Smythe, and Sulphur Bank Mercury Mine Project Manager Rick Sugarek will address subjects such as: What does a healthy lake look like, and how can we get there? What monitoring information has been collected and what does it tell us? What's happening now in the SBMM Superfund site mercury pollution cleanup?
These questions and many more will be on the agenda during this free-ranging panel discussion, which will be held in Room 203 at Kelseyville High School (5480 Main St in Kelseyville) at 7 p.m. on Tuesday Sept. 22.
The meeting, which will be filmed for later broadcast on public access television Channel 8, is free and open to the public.

They invite the community to join them on Saturday, Sept. 19, at 5 p.m. for the 10th Annual Lake County Wine Auction, a gala benefit for the arts, health and community of Lake County.
This year the Lake County Wine Alliance is partnering with the Lake County Historical Society to help raise money towards the completion of the Ely Stage Stop and Country Museum restoration.
The building originally was a stop for the stagecoaches en route to the west shore of Clear Lake and is considered by some to be one of the oldest “stick-built” buildings in Lake County.
It was relocated to a new home at 9921 State Highway 281 (Soda Bay Road) on July 29, 2007.
Through the leadership of the county of Lake, the wraparound porch was completed this summer and Pacific Gas & Electric recently installed electricity. With the addition of the electricity, work will begin soon on the interior.
Meanwhile, the historical society plans to construct period barns to showcase its large collection of historic artifacts for both static and demonstration exhibits.
The Lake County Historical Society needs your donations and participation to finish the project, so they ask the community please join them at the Wine Auction.
For tickets go to www.winealliance.org , or call 1-866-279-WINE.
