Written by: Editor
Published: 13 September 2009
LAKE COUNTY – Due to recent low lake levels tires are being exposed in the lakebed, and the Lake County Public Services Department is offering a tire amnesty program to respond to the problem.


If tires are found in the lake, residents are able to dispose of up to nine passenger tires free of charge every month through the county’s tire amnesty program.


Please make sure to hose off most mud prior to bringing them to South Lake Refuse & Recycling, at the entrance to the Eastlake Landfill in Clearlake, or to Waste Solutions Recycling Yard at 230 Soda Bay Road in Lakeport.


In addition to lakeside residents, all county residents may dispose of up to nine tires a month free of charge through the tire amnesty program.


For more information regarding the tire amnesty program or any other solid waste issues in Lake County, call 707-262-1760 or visit our website at www.recycling.co.lake.ca.us .

Stonewall Club hosts movie showing Sept. 18

CLEARLAKE – The movie that was almost never made, adapted from a controversial book, “And the Band Played On,” will be shown by the Lake County Stonewall Democratic Club Friday, Sept. 18.


The meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Redbud Library, Conference Room, 14785 Burns Valley Road, Clearlake.


The book, written by openly gay journalist Randy Shilts, details with daunting statistics and primary sources the beginning of the AIDS epidemic and the denial and refusal to recognize the great crisis as the virus HIV spread across the nation.


Optioned by a mainstream studio that realized that it was too controversial to film, the movie took about six years before it was produced by HBO in 1993.


In an attempt to pare down the epic proportions of the book, the movie concentrates on Dr. Don Francis of the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta and the slow reluctance of the government to contribute funds, and the denial of the gay community to recognize and deal with the deadly virus.

 

The movie is still compelling and informative with a stellar cast starring Lily Tomlin, Gary Oldham, Steve Martin, Richard Gere, Sir Ian McClellan and Angelica Houston.


Gripping in its intensity and a grim reminder of how politics can become a liability in dealing with health issues, the movie remains relevant and pertinent to today's audience, particularly in light of the recent swine flu outbreak.

 

The movie is free, and refreshments such as popcorn and soft drinks will be served.

 

Everyone is invited. Come and enjoy this landmark movie.

MIDDLEOTWN – Corey Warner, MD, known to be a very lively and humorous speaker, will present a "Medical Matters" program at the next Middletown Luncheon Club, noon, on Wednesday, Sept. 16.

Warner joined the Hidden Valley Medical Services Center as the full-time internal medicine doctor in October of 2008. He is board certified and specializes in the full spectrum of adult medicine.  

He received his medical degree from Oregon Health Sciences University and completed his residency in internal medicine at Legacy Emanuel Hospital and Health Center, both in Portland, Ore.

His distinguished professional record, caring manner and commitment to his community reflect the high standards shared by the physicians at St. Helena Hospitals.

Dr. Warner and his wife, Amber, moved to Hidden Valley Lake from Danville, Ill., where he practiced at the Carle Clinic Association and Provena United Samaritans Medical Center. They enjoy golf, volunteer work, church and spending time with family.  

He was active in the Danville community where he served on the Boys and Girls Club board and was a mentor with Big Brothers Big Sisters for seven years.

The Middletown Luncheon Club meets at noon at the social hall of the Middletown Methodist Church, 15833 Armstrong at Washington, Middletown.

Lunch is only $5 per person with proceeds going to the serving group. Lunch this month will be prepared by South Lake Fire Sirens. All programs are open to the general public.

If you don’t know about the Middletown Luncheon Club (MLC), here is the perfect opportunity to tap into the 108 year continuum of community.

MLC meets every third Wednesday of the month from January through November. A nonprofit organization is selected to provide lunch, and there is a different program each time to keep things lively and informative.

For more info on the MLC, contact Helen Whitney, 707-928-9812.
