LAKE COUNTY – Calling all students in grades fourth through sixth!
There will be an art and science camp at Anderson Marsh State Historic Park and Taylor Observatory on Saturday, May 2.
This free, fun and educational event is sponsored by the Children's Museum of Art and Science, the Anderson Marsh Interpretive Association, the Redbud Audubon Society and the Lake County Office of Education.
At Anderson Marsh students will rotate through four stations. They will take a guided nature walk, hear about Native American culture and make a tule doll, dissect owl pellets and learn about Lake County wildlife, and participate in a rhythm band.
At Taylor Observatory they will see a planetarium show, make a sun dial, learn hip hop dance moves and participate in a drum circle. Students will be bussed to and from Taylor Observatory.
Clearlake Kiwanis will be providing a delicious lunch for all students and volunteers.
A total of 128 students will be able to participate. Parent information sheets and student permission slips have already been handed out in each of the county's seven school districts.
Student slots have been allocated based on district enrollment. In addition, 10 slots have been allocated for students who are home-schooled or enrolled in charter or private schools.
Parents of these students are encouraged to call Carolynn Jarrett at 994-2878 to request a packet. Any parents or adults who wish to volunteer may also contact Jarrett.
Permission slips need to be returned by April 10.
At that time a random drawing will determine the 10 lucky students and winners will be notified by phone.

SNAG (Seventh Native American Generation) Magazine is a volunteer-based organization that conducts art-oriented workshops for urban youth in the San Francisco Bay area. The magazine features art, essays, poetry, and photos contributed by youth from across the country. SNAG will contribute to “Rez-Eyez” guest speakers, will host a field trip and feature photos in an upcoming issue.
Amy Guymon is a senior at UC Berkley. She began working with Boys & Girls Club of the Pomo Nation in September of 2008 on a photography project that soon evolved into a series of photography workshops for the members. Guymon realized that her connections with SNAG and Boys & Girls Club of the Pomo Nation could be the start of something special.
“Rez-Eyez” will be taught by Guymon with guest speakers Ras K’Dee of SNAG Magazine, and Richard Bluecloud Castaneda, a fine art photographer. Castaneda will talk about his work and how he uses photography to speak about his cultural identity as a Native American.
The program will teach members the basic fundamentals and techniques of photography, develop team-working skills with peers and mentoring adults and build appreciation for photography as an art.
The class will also feature a field trip to San Francisco hosted by SNAG. The class will conclude with a public exhibition of the members final photo projects Friday, May 15, at Boys & Girls Club of the Pomo Nation.
“Rez-Eyez” will be held Fridays from 3:30 p.m. to 4:45 p.m., beginning Friday, March 13, at Boys & Girls Club of the Pomo Nation.
For more information contact the Boys & Girls Club of the Pomo Nation, telephone 533-5029.

We would like to thank Carlé students Amy Reese, Kaitlyn Schneider, William McAllister, Paul Silsby, Tyler Lawson, Halei Askew, Gloria Rojas, Kaitlyn Sliger, Stacey Fedewa, Kelli Babb, Emily Owen and Kelly Hearn from Middletown.
“It was really nice to see Carlé students work together to help the community,” said Carlé Principal Ed Zander. “Many people attending the seafood broil commented on how great the service was provided by the Carlé students. Working with the Carlé students at events like these makes me realize how truly great our students are.”
Keep up the good work, Carlé High School.
On Friday, Feb. 27, gold levels students had a gold level trip to Lakeside Lanes. There the students went bowling, played in the arcade and enjoyed a wonderful pizza lunch. Carlé was acknowledged for their high maturity levels.
“I didn't think these were high school students because they had the maturity of college students,” said one of the business' employees.
Good job Carlé and thanks to Lakeside Lanes.
We also like to welcome even more new students to our school. We hope Tanner Green, Monica Diaz, Bradley Culver, Vincent DeLa Cruz and Michelle Larue will enjoy their new school as much as we enjoy them here.
We also would like to congratulate the student of the week, Kim Fuller. Kim has been a dedicated student who is very close to graduating. We know she will succeed out there in the “real” world. We hope you will keep up the good work and remember the Carlé way.
An important date to remember was Russell Ristici's memorial. The memorial was held on Saturday, March 7, at Lower Lake Park.
Russell Ristici had bought tables, retiled the floor and made the park a much better place for the
community. He did this without ever wanting to be acknowledged for his help.
The day after he passed away the Board of Supervisors received multiple letters from folks in this community asking the board to rename the park in Ristici's honor. The board agreed to do so and the dedication was also held March 7.
In his will, Ristici donated $300,000 to Carlé High School specifically for scholarships. Two of his old workers and Carlé alumni, David Sutton and Ben Hopper, were present at the memorial to show
their support for their old friend. Just like old times they volunteered to be on Ristici's final work crew to show their respect and honor of this wonderful man.
We would like to thank our current students Chris Clark and Marquice Lamar who helped set up and serve food at the memorial.
We thank Russell Ristici for all his wonderful help while he was with us, and for that, the Lower Lake Park is now named the Russell Ristici Memorial Park. May he always be remembered. He will forevermore be in Carlé's heart. Every year starting next year many graduating seniors will
be rewarded through Ristici's generosity.
Amanda Tchamourian is a student at Carlé High School in Lower Lake.
