LAKE COUNTY – “Make A Splash” is the theme for the Lake County Library’s 2010 Summer Reading Program.
Children from preschool through eighth grade are invited to participate by reading library books and earning prizes in the Summer Reading Program. Sign up at any Lake County Library branch to receive a reading record card and other fun surprises.
Lakeport Library will launch the Summer Reading Program on Saturday, June 12, with a “Super Saturday Sign-up.”
Children who come to Lakeport Library from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Super Saturday can participate in several craft activities. The library’s address is 1425 N. High Street and the phone number is 707-263-8817.
The Summer Reading Program will end on Aug. 7, when all reading record cards are due. At Lakeport Library frogs splashing across the children’s room windows will mark the progress of the children as they read throughout the summer. Reading awards will be presented at parties in late August.
With a library card, patrons have access to the collections of all three counties, amounting to more than one million books. From the library’s online catalog http://ipac.sonoma.lib.ca.us/ipac20/ipac.jsp?profile=laco#focus or from an in-library catalog computer, a patron can request books from anywhere in the system and have them delivered to any library branch.

We would like to recognize our gold level students from the fifth grading period. Congratulations go out to Kara Boyce, Holly Brumback, Karalena Cole, Stefani Cook, Jake Everhart, Ellie Hackler, Michelle Larue, Gary Martin, Christina Ortega, Erika Streckfuss and Dylan Nevarez. All of these students have worked very hard to achieve gold level and we are very proud of them!
Gold level students just went on a field trip to Scandia on May 17 and everyone who went said they had a lot of fun and an over all great time. All of these students will also receive hand made items out of our school-based enterprise.
Carlé established “sustainability awards” when the staff realized that students have a hard time keeping up their outstanding work grade period after grade period. The staff gives out awards now to those students who can maintain or better their levels each grade period. The more times you maintain, the higher level reward you earn.
Senior plaques are being designed and pressed for every senior. Student artists in the media classes are creating and pressing their own unique plaques for different graduating seniors and we thank everyone who is putting in the effort for Carlé seniors. We will ultimately post all plaques on our Web site, now hosted by student Joe Maninger.
We would like to thank Dr. Barry Munitz for his generous donation so, for the second year in a row, all of our seniors will have a lasting memory of their time at Carlé.
We have a lot of portfolios coming up! Christina Ortega's is on May 24; Kara Boyce, Jessie Eubanks and Jake Everhart on May 27; and Paul Silsby, Michelle Perry-Alden and Phoenix King on June 2.
Jason Hammond was our student of the week this week because he has been working very hard to make up all of his credits and he has been working with the media crew on rebuilding computers to donate to families and groups that need them. He is currently building a computer for the adult school.
Thank you for all of your hard work, Jason!
Finally, we have about 25 students signed up to help out with Memorial Day celebrations on May 30. They will be helping with the parade which runs down Main Street in Lower Lake and starts at 11 a.m. Lower Lake Community Action Group's famous barbecue will begin at 12 in the Russell Rustici park in Lower Lake. Carlé will be there to help set up, serve and clean up. We invite everyone to attend this fabulous, historic day.
Finally, Carlé also will help finish cleaning up from the parade and barbecue on May 31 after we show our respect to veterans by helping fly the Avenue of the Flags at the Lower Lake cemetery.
All are invited to help out and enjoy this Memorial Day at the Avenue of the Flags. Joel Moore runs the event and all are invited to attend/help out on Monday, May 31, at 6:45 a.m. The group will meet at the building in the middle of the cemetery. Come join us and show your respect for those who have served our country.
Andrea McMullen is a student at Carlé Continuation High School in Lower Lake, Calif.

The program will begin at 6:30 p.m.
Awards totaling $130,000 will be presented to high school and college students selected to receive 90 scholarships in all.
“We are thrilled to be giving so many scholarships to these very deserving students,” said Foundation Board President Channing Cornell.
Mendocino College Foundation scholarships in the amount of $1,500 each will be awarded to 38 individuals.
The foundation contributes 80 percent of the total dollars awarded to Mendocino College students every year.
In addition, local organizations, businesses and individuals are among the other contributors to scholarship funding.
Donors who make the awards possible will also be acknowledged during the ceremony as foundation board members make the presentations and discuss the importance of the scholarship funds and donations.
Scholarships and awards that honor gifts from individuals' trusts, estates and donations include the Evelyn R. Foote Scholarship, the Thomas M. Evans Sr. Scholarship, the George R. Szanik Scholarship, the Jim Meyer Scholarship, the Carl J. Ehmann Scholarship, the Mary Oosting Scholarship and the Hulda and Alfred Weger Scholarship.
In addition, nursing students are selected for special scholarships, two in memory of Karen L. Atkinson and two honoring the memory of Heidi Marie Daniel. Three students interested in in-home care will receive the Kathleen Kohn Fetzer Foundation Nursing Scholarships.
Under the Directors/Trustees Annual Fund Scholarship, six students will be awarded $1,000 each. The funds are made possible by personal contributions from the Mendocino College Foundation directors and College trustees.
Five more $1,000 awards are made possible from the Bernard Osher Foundation Scholarship. The Osher Foundation donated $25 million to the Foundation for California Community Colleges to establish an endowment for permanent scholarship support.
The Mendocino College Foundation was formed in 1984 with $5,000 in seed funds. It has distributed more than $825,000 in scholarship awards and provided monetary support to educational programs and projects throughout the Mendocino-Lake Community College District.
