MIDDLETOWN – The Middletown Rancheria of Pomo Indians has provided the necessary funding to the South Lake County Volunteer Firefighters Association for the purchase of additional state-the-art lifesaving equipment.
Acquired was the device commonly known as the “Jaws of Life,” and it is now available through South Lake County Fire Department’s First Responders.
The purchased device, known as a Parrot Blade Cutter, is used in rescue operations where high strength and rapid response are required.
This tool has a cutting force of more than 150,000 pounds, and replaces an existing tool that delivers 50,000 pounds of cutting force. It is also smaller, lighter and faster than the older device.
“The purchase of this replacement rescue tool provided by the members of the Middletown Rancheria is another testament to our collaborative effort in providing the community’s fire, rescue and EMS personnel the tools they need for improved emergency response,” said Mike Wink, fire captain for Training and Unit EMS coordinator.
Jose Simon III, tribal chairman for the Middletown Rancheria, said the tribe is proud to continue its support of the county’s fire, rescue and EMS services.
“South Lake County depends so much on the unit’s training and equipment, and anything we can do to help is of the highest priority to us,” said Simon.
Middletown Rancheria owns Twin Pine Casino & Hotel. The casino has operated a Las Vegas-style gaming facility of the latest slot machines and table games for the past 14 years. The Rancheria recently opened its 107,000-square-foot new casino/hotel/event center complex at its current Middletown location.

LAKE COUNTY – Calling all textile artists!
There will be a big change in the “Clothing and Textiles” exhibit at the Lake County Fair in 2009.
All textile-related entries will be displayed in a “home of their own” – the Theater Building that was once the “Home Arts” building many years ago.
In addition, there are some substantial cash awards for the winners. Be sure to check the 2009 premium book (due out in June) for more information about these changes.
Anyone interested in volunteering to help with this undertaking is welcome.
Clothing and textile enthusiasts themselves are taking responsibility for handling all exhibits (check-in and pick-up, display, “white glove” duty, etc). Kerrie Hershey and Jane Alameda have agreed to coordinate all these efforts, but they will need lots of helpers. Please volunteer to assist with this effort.
Call either Kerrie (at Kerrie's Quilting in Lakeport, 707-263-8555) or Jane (707-263-3831) for more information.
