Lake County Historical Society * Pomo Bulletin June 2012 2 President’s Message Our General Membership Meeting/Summer Picnic at the Ely Stage Stop and Country Museum was a success! About 100 folks attended the event under the trees with Mount Konocti looming as a backdrop. The weather was superb, a sunny, breezy day in the low 70’s. John Parker took us back in time to the days of stage coaches and highwaymen, Greg Blinn reviewed the history of Ely, Greg Dills acknowledged the many people who made the Ely project possible, including our dedicated docent group, and Randy Ridgel spoke of the unique nature of the project and its future possibilities. Scholarship chair Tony Marchese introduced this year’s scholarship winner, Rachel Sutton, of Middletown. Rachel spoke about the importance of preserving, teaching and learning our history, and thanked her mother for instilling an appreciation on history in her. The president thanked Bill Lane for his work in installing the flag pole and Frank and Suzanne Shutes for their donation of the pole. Gerry Shaul was thanked for his coordination of the Trowel and Trellis Garden Club’s donation of planter boxes for the front of the Ely building. The food was tasty and plentiful, topped by Kevin Engle’s grilled oysters and prawns. All in all, a splendid time was had by all! The new website is up! Go to LakeCountyHistory.org and check it out. This is version 1.0 and needs additional proofing and updating. Your feedback and ideas are critical, so please take the time to look it over carefully and report any problems or need for improvement. Our organization is volunteer-driven and we are in need for volunteers. Would you like to help with book sales? Events? Serve on a committee? Be a director? Help with fund raising? Any help you can give would be appreciated and be helping an organization that has become vital and integral to our community. Thanks to all of our volunteers for making the Lake County Historical Society the success that it is! Phil Smoley, President Editor’s Message Greetings, What is history, when is history? Perhaps we think of history as things that happened before we can remember them, but live long enough and you are a witness to history. Since the Lake County Historical Society formed in 1955 much has happened here. For instance - 1959: Konocti Harbor Resort opened. 1966: Redbud Library opened on Golf Avenue in Clearlake 1968: the Forbes St. courthouse opened. 1978: the Lake County Museum moved into the renovated old courthouse. 1978: MacDonalds came to Lakeport. 1978: several Lake County residents died at Jonestown. 1980: the City of Clearlake incorporated. 1981: Willow Tree Plaza was built on 11th Street in Lakeport. 1981: Deputy Richard Helbush was killed in the line of duty. 1990s: Indian casinos began operating in Lake County. 1995: Redbud Library moved to Burns Valley Rd. 2009: Konocti Harbor in closed. 2010 the County of Lake bought parkland on Mt. Konocti. And, in 1972: Wanda Wolf joined the Lake County Historical Society, becoming membership chairman, the first of many jobs she did over the next 30+ years before she moved to Sonoma County. Wanda died May 23, 2012 in Sonoma County. Read more about Wanda’s life and accomplishments in this issue of the Pomo Bulletin. I remember the inseparable Wanda Wolf and Norma Wright as active members of the historical society, always working hard to support the society. On our cover we show that it’s hard to keep a good woman down. I invite LCHS members and friends to submit articles and photographs for the Pomo Bulletin. New material that tells stories not already seen in these pages is especially welcome. The PB is a venue for histories of families, businesses, organizations and towns; archeology updates; ethnic and social history; all of these, and more, are welcome. The Pomo Bulletin now accepts emailed submissions, while still accepting typed or hand-printed material. More details and guidelines for submissions can be found on page 1. Deadlines are now January 25. May 25, and September 25. I look forward to working with you to tell the stories of Lake County’s past. Jan Cook Lake County Historical Society * Pomo Bulletin June 2012 3 Wanda Bean Wolf June 23, 1914 – May 23, 2012 Wanda Wolf (r.) helping assemble the Pomo Bulletin, February 1988, Lakeport. (Clark photo) From Wanda’s obituary, published in the Lake County Record-Bee, Saturday, June 2, 2012. Wanda is survived by two brothers, Vincent Donald Bean and Lesley Bean; a son, Jerry Wolf; a daughter, Colleen Trouse; six grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren. A resident of Kelseyville for over 40 years, Wanda was very involved in the life of Lake County. Vice president and membership chairman of the Lake County Historical Society, she attended many State conferences and received an award as an outstanding member of the California State Historical Society. In 1989 Wanda is pictured in the Lake County Record Bee receiving a certificate of recognition for her role as a docent with the Clear Lake State Park Interpretive Association. She was one of the founders of the Clear Lake State Park Interpretive Society and served as the first President. Besides being a docent at the State Park, her great joy was being Smokey the Bear’s assistant and going to schools to educate children about fire prevention. Wanda was born in Elwood, Kansas but, given an opportunity, she would tell you about the adventures of her extended family traveling to the promised land of California in 1924 in three Fords. They camped every night. Sometimes the men worked in the fields helping harvesters along the way. It took many weeks to get to California. During World War II, Wanda worked in a Defense Factory making wing gas tanks for fighter planes.

  • Konocti Regional Trails Master Plan
    County of Lake Public Services Department Konocti Regional Trails Master Plan January 11, 2011 County of Lake Public Services Department Konocti Regional Trails Master Plan January 11, 2011 PREPARED FOR: County of Lake Public Services Department PREPARED BY: Alta Planning + Design COVER PHOTO BY: Rivers, Trails, and Ron Keas Conservation Assistance Konocti Regional Trails Master Plan Acknowledgements The development of the Konocti Regional Trails (KRT) Master Plan would not have happened without the tremendous amount of volunteer energy and time that went into this project. Holly Harris and Chuck Lamb were the catalysts for this trails effort and have been instrumental in moving the planning process forward over the past two years. Each has contributed countless hours in many capacities – from on-the-ground mapping of land- and water-based trails, to sharing the concept of a countywide network of trails with business owners, service organizations, and property owners, to developing content and creating the KRT web site. Many community members and organizations from across Lake County have stepped forward at various stages to provide valuable input by responding to surveys, attending workshops and meetings, and suggesting and prioritizing trail concepts. This input provided the basis for this plan, which exemplifies a successful grassroots, community-driven effort. Under the guidance and expertise of Barbara Rice of the National Park Service, Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program, the KRT Team had a seasoned trails expert involved from day one. As part of a grant from NPS-RTCA, Ms. Rice provided technical assistance and support to the KRT Team throughout the process.

The eagles prey on grebes and other waterbirds, so watch for them perched in the trees in the grebe nesting areas, looking for an easy meal. Ospreys don’t prey on birds, but they’ve learned that where there are grebes, there are abundant fish. At the county park, look for the huge osprey nest, where you can often see a pair tending to their young. A family of river otters also lives nearby, and white pelicans are a common sight on the lake at the mouth of Adobe Creek. The Water Trails “Things have changed a lot up at Clear Lake.
