In a meeting with Lakeport City Manager Margaret Silveira and Matt Gilfillan of PyroSpectaculars earlier this year, it was determined that the company will be presenting a much larger show this year with no increase in cost.
PyroSpectaculars also provides the show in the city of Clearlake on Saturday, July 2, and in Clearlake Oaks on Sunday, July 3, in addition to the Lakeport Fireworks on Monday, July 4.
Also, the Lakeport Speedway in partnership with Robinson Rancheria Resort & Casino will present fireworks by PyroSpectaculars at the races on Saturday evening at the Fairgrounds. This means three nights in a row of great fireworks displays for all of Lake County.
The list of contributors to the campaign will be sent to Lakeconews.com, the Lake County Record-Bee and the Middletown Times Star to acknowledge contributions, as the chamber has done in the past.
Contributions may be made on the chamber Web site at www.lakecochamber.com; click on the Fireworks rotating banner.
For more information contact the Lake County Chamber of Commerce at 707-263-5092.

State law requires DMV to implement changes in the billing and renewal process for registration fees due on or after July 1.
Registration renewal notices will be mailed out close to or on the expiration date. Previously notices were mailed 60-days ahead of the expiration date.
Fees are still due for registration notices due prior to July 1.
No money will be collected until renewal notices are issued. Previously renewal fees could be collected up to 75 days ahead of the expiration date and were required to be collected within 30 days of expiration when part of another transaction such as a transfer of vehicle ownership.
All customers will be given a 30-day grace period after they receive their registration notice. Penalties for delinquent payment will not be imposed until 30 days after the registration expiration date. Previously penalties were due the day after the registration expiration date.
Law enforcement is aware and will not cite vehicles until the first day of the second month after the vehicle registration expires.
For example: A vehicle with a registration expiration date of July 10 would not be cited for delinquent registration prior to Sept. 1, 2011.

The text of the proclamation is below:
PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
Since its founding, our Nation has endeavored to fulfill the Constitution’s promises of liberty and equality. In the struggle for equal rights for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) people, a historic turning point occurred on June 28, 1969, in New York City, with the onset of the Stonewall Riots. During these riots, LGBT citizens rose up and resisted police harassment that arose out of discriminatory criminal laws that have since been declared unconstitutional. In the four decades since, civil rights for LGBT people have grown substantially, and LGBT pride celebrations have taken place around the country every June to mark the beginning of the Stonewall Riots.
California has been a leader in advancing the civil rights of its LGBT citizens. And while further progress is needed, it is proper and important to recognize and celebrate the substantial and important gains that have been achieved.
NOW THEREFORE I, EDMUND G. BROWN JR., Governor of the State of California, do hereby proclaim June 2011 as "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month."
IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of California to be affixed this 8th day of June 2011.
