LAKE COUNTY – The current and previous Lake County Poets Laureate have chosen three poets to appear as finalists in the selection process for the Poet Laureate 2010-12.

Those three finalists are Russell Reza-'Khaliq Gonzaga, Michelle Berger and Elaine Watt.

The public is invited to participate in the final selection event, “Select and Celebrate,” which will take place beginning at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 14, at the Lake County Arts Council Gallery, 325 N. Main St., Lakeport.

Following the reading, the judges will convene to evaluate each finalist’s performance and announce their choice of the poet laureate.

The event will be broadcast live on KPFZ, 88.1 FM.

Travis Rinker will provide music and refreshments will be served.

The venue is the Clearlake United Methodist Church, 14521 Pearl Ave., Clearlake.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m., with the film starting at 6 p.m.

The film is another choice suggested by important recent news.

On Feb. 19, the US Justice Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation announced that their eight-year investigation into the anthrax scare of 2001 was over and that scientist Bruce Ivins acted alone. Not everyone agrees.

This well-researched and jaw-dropping 2009 documentary provides ample information to show that despite past international agreements, germ warfare is now big business for murky global corporations.

Six top scientists in the field have died under suspicious circumstances, some in ways completely out of character.

One, described by a colleague as, “a lovely man, mad as a hatter” was flying around the world on regular passenger flights carrying vials of weaponized deadly organisms to private labs. Then he met a pulp fiction end.

In South Africa, research went on for years into germs that would only attack blacks. Every time you think the information in the film can’t get any worse the facts outdo themselves.

“Downright terrifying – I was so tense I literally forgot to breathe,” said Bob Masey of TV Guide Canada.

This gripping, unforgettable film will be shown for free, as always.

Next month, for April, we plan to show an uplifting, encouraging film (“Fierce Light”) as a great change of pace.

First time showing in the gallery, and a recent resident to Lake County, is Cathy Gale who has studied art in Italy for 18 years and will be exhibiting her beautifully executed still lifes and landscapes in oils.

Also showing for the first time is Linda Reidel with her finely detailed pastel landscapes. The popular Joan Facca returns to exhibit her distinctive style in pastel landscapes; while, Judy Cardinale delights us with her expressive figurative oil paintings.

Continuing in the Main Street Gallery is the unique wall sculptures of Ted Kirby, executed in mixed medium.

Two photographers continue to exhibit in the March show; Richard Hoyt in black and white figurative photography and Jacqueline Solgat in floral and underwater images.

Jo Bergeson, Ginger Ingersoll and Meredith Gambrel each demonstrate their unique styles in oils. In acrylics, Josh Murray shows his highly impressionistic work and Shelby Posada continues to show her work in acrylic and mixed medium abstracts.

Stephanie Bero adds sparkle to the show with her finely crafted jewelry, and try on one of Toni Stewart's one of a kind handcrafted and irresistible hats.

We are pleased to continue the show the work of third and fourth grade students from Upper Lake under the instruction of Jennifer Sabalone. If you haven't yet seen the show, it is well worth the time to view this pleasing example of abstract pastels. Some of the work is for sale. How fortunate we are to have instructors who can instill this love of art and encourage creative expression in their students. And, how fortunate the Main Street Gallery is to afford students a space to show their original art.

We invite you to join us and meet our featured artists while sampling the fine wines of Tulip Hill Winery poured by the knowledgeable tasting room manager, Chris Skarada with Patsy Mitchell assisting her.

We are pleased to feature a very versatile and talented flutist, George Husaruk, who will entertain you with a variety of music from jass, blues, rock, classical and pop as you enjoy a wide variety of art.

Further adding to the evening will be raffle of "Vintage View," a 30 inches by 24 inches, a framed original oil by the well-known artist Gail Salituri. The painting is valued at $2,400. Raffle tickets can be purchased during the evening with all proceeds going to Freedom House. Gloria Flaherty, executive director of Lake Family Resource Center also will be in attendance as will Sheri Salituri of Inspirations Gallery.

The Main Street Gallery and Gift Shop is located at 325 N. Main St. in Lakeport. More information can be obtained by calling 707-263-6658.
