Genealogical Society to host Oct. 28 cemetery tour

LAKEPORT, Calif. — The Lake County Genealogical Society will present a tour of the St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery on Saturday, Oct. 28.

The tour begins at 10 a.m. at the cemetery located at 3295 Highway 175, Lakeport.

From Highway 29 take the Hwy. 175 exit towards Hopland, then head west on Highway 175 for 0.7 miles. The cemetery is on your right.

Drive in all the way to the back. Parking is limited, please carpool if possible. Wear comfortable walking shoes for gravel and slight inclines.

Local genealogists will conduct the tour.

Starting off the tour will be a grave dowsing demonstration and instruction. This activity is used to locate bodies in unmarked graves. Whether there was never a grave marker placed, or it disappeared due to fire or the elements, dowsing helps to determine if the plot is occupied. While not as accurate as ground penetrating radar, grave dowsing is a less expensive alternative.

Lake County Genealogical Society has maintained a research library since 1977 of local family histories, along with other historic documents.

The society is seeking a permanent home in Lakeport to allow better public access to its collection. Until such time, research inquiries can be made to Anita Crabtree via email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Bass Bowl XIII takes place Oct. 27

KELSEYVILLE, Calif. — Way back in 2010, a local high school football coach, a contractor and a real estate broker got together to discuss how to make the rivalry football game between the Kelseyville Knights and Clear Lake Cardinal more exciting and memorable.

Out of that meeting came an idea, The Bass Bowl.

Friday night will be the 13th rendition of that idea when the unbeaten and top ranked Clear Lake Cardinals travel to play the Kelseyville Knights in Bass Bowl XIII.

The game begins at 7:30 p.m. at Kelseyville High School.

The Cardinals have been a juggernaut this season, averaging over 48 points a game while giving up less than eight points in winning all eight games thus far.

The Knights are also fielding one of their best teams in years and will come in with a 6-2 record, averaging 41 points a game while giving up just 12 points a game.

While the Cardinals will be a clear-cut favorite to win, they are hobbling a bit after a very physical game at Willits in which several of their players got banged up.

But they are riding a four-game winning streak against Kelseyville, winning the last three Bass Bowls and a playoff game last year.

Kelseyville had dominated the Bass Bowl series, taking a 7-2 lead in 2018 when they blanked Clear Lake 44-0.

But it has been all Clear Lake ever since, and if they win Friday, they will cut the lead to 7-6.

The Bass Bowl was created to foster community awareness and involvement in high school athletics in general, and the Bass Bowl in particular.

Property tax bills with Whittier return address are legitimate

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Lake County Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Office recently transitioned to electronic check processing.

Checks received in-office will now be immediately deposited, eliminating manual procedures. In accordance with Government Finance Officers Association Best Practices, a “lockbox processing system” has likewise been implemented for upcoming Property Tax payments: https://www.gfoa.org/materials/use-of-lockbox-services.

Property tax bills will be mailed out beginning the week of Oct. 23.

Here’s what you should expect: The return address on your property tax bill will no longer be the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Lakeport office address.

Instead, payments will be sent to a vendor facility in Whittier, California, where they will be processed, seamlessly integrated into relevant county systems and deposited.

This approach is expected to make payment processing significantly faster.

The address you will see printed on your tax bill will be:

Lake County Treasurer-Tax Collector
P.O Box 6011
Whittier, CA 90607-6011

You can still pay your property tax bill in person

Prefer to pay in person? You can still pay your property tax bill at the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s office, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport (second floor).

First property tax installments are due Dec. 11

Whether you are paying at the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s office or through the lockbox processor (i.e., mailing payment to P.O. Box 6011, Whittier, CA), your first installment payment must be received by Dec. 11 or have an official postmark as of that date.

“Lake County residents have asked for their checks to be deposited faster, and these new options support that goal, while maintaining secure and reliable processes,” said Lake County Treasurer-Tax Collector Patrick Sullivan. “If you have further questions, contact our office at 707-263-2234.”
