LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Lake County’s unemployment rate showed another drop in May, as state and federal jobless numbers also showed improvement.
The California Employment Development Department, or EDD, said Lake County’s preliminary May jobless rate was 6.9%, down from 7.5% in April.
The May 2020 unemployment rate for Lake County, when the impacts of the pandemic peaked in the jobless rate, was 14.2%, based on EDD data.
Last month, California’s statewide unemployment rate was 7.9%, down from 8% in April. The state’s jobless rate was 15.6% in May 2020, the EDD reported.
The federal Bureau of Labor Statistics said May’s nationwide unemployment rate was 5.8%, down from 6.1% in April and 13.3% in May 2020.
In Lake County in May, the “total farm” jobs category had a 27.8% increase over April, and was 0.9% down in a year-over comparison to May 2020, the only job category to be down when compared to this time last year.
Other sectors that showed double-digit growth over April were wholesale trade, 22.2%, and federal government jobs, 17.6%.
FInancial activities increased by 9.4%, state government by 5.3%, and leisure and hospitality, 4.6%.
Only one job sector in Lake County showed a decline in May: Business and professional services was down by 1.4%.
Lake County’s May jobless rate ranked it No. 32 out of California’s counties. Marin had the lowest unemployment at 4.3% while Imperial County had the highest jobless rate, 15.9%.
Lake’s neighboring counties had the following jobless rates and ranks for May: Colusa, 11.2%, No. 57; Glenn, 6.3%, No. 24; Mendocino, 5.9%, No. 20; Napa, 5.5%, No. 13; Sonoma, 5.3%, No. 8; and Yolo, 5.6%, No. 15.
The EDD said California’s employers gained 104,500 non-farm payroll jobs in May, with payroll jobs statewide totaling 16,352,900, compared to the 15,132,700 reported in May 2020.
Of the 2,714,800 jobs lost in March and April 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the EDD said California has now regained 1,406,800 — or 51.8% — with a third of those jobs (468,000) coming from the hard-hit leisure and hospitality industry.
The number of Californians employed in May was 17,418,000, an increase of 39,500 jobs from April’s total of 17,378,500 and up 1,888,700 from the employment total in May of last year, the EDD reported.
The EDD said the number of unemployed Californians was 1,489,600 in May, a decrease of 27,100 over the month and down 1,373,600 in comparison to May of last year.
In related data that figures into the state’s unemployment rate, the EDD said there were 569,512 people certifying for Unemployment Insurance benefits during the May 2021 sample week. That compares to 579,498 people in April and 2,154,692 people in May 2020.
Concurrently, the EDD said 71,259 initial claims were processed in the May 2021 sample week, which was a month-over decrease of 7,381 claims from April and a year-over decrease of 132,329 claims from May 2020.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — A Saturday traffic enforcement special operation in the city of Clearlake led to authorities recovering a vehicle stolen from Lakeport, an arrest for driving under the influence, and numerous citations for speeding and other issues.
Sgt. Ryan Peterson said the Clearlake Police Department conducted the operation.
Peterson said officers conducted numerous traffic stops resulting in them issuing three citations for speed violations, four citations for moving violations and eight citations for mechanical violations.
Two people were arrested with active warrants for their arrest, two people were issued citations for driving on suspended driver's licenses and one person was cited for operating a motor vehicle without a license, Peterson said.
He said officers made one arrest for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol.
Another arrest was made after officers stopped and recovered a stolen vehicle out of Lakeport. That incident resulted in a brief closure of Highway 53, Peterson said.
With the summer months and vacations underway, Peterson said there tends to be an increase in traffic volume, traffic-related incidents, collisions and impaired driving.
In a recent local survey, Peterson said speeding and impaired driving were identified as top concerns from the public.
There is also an increased concern of speeding vehicles in the area commonly referred to as the “Avenues” due to the recent road improvements, Peterson said.
The Clearlake Police Department reminded drivers that speeding, not wearing seat belts and distracted driving can put you and others in danger.
“It is also important that if you plan on drinking alcohol, taking medication, or other substances which would impair your driving, plan for a sober driver or stay home,” said Peterson.

The duo of Warden Wyatt Moore with K-9 Vern made their debut earlier this year.
“We’re really proud of our K-9s. They go through a huge amount of training to be a cohesive team so we’re excited about this,” said CDFW spokeswoman Janice Mackey.
Moore has been a warden for just over four years. He’s one of six Fish and Wildlife wardens assigned to Lake County. He is assigned to the Cannabis Enforcement Program while the other five are district wardens.
While Moore also does checks for fishing and hunting compliance, cannabis will be the focus for him and Vern.
“We investigate illegal cannabis cultivation with the associated environmental damage to the watersheds in Lake County,” said Moore.
Mackey added, “Poaching at illegal grows sites is very common.”
Vern, a 2-year-old German shepherd, is the only cannabis dog working in Lake County, Moore said.
Mackey said it’s been some time since the agency had a K-9 working in Lake County.
CDFW put out an interest list for officers interested in working with K-9s and Moore said he had to go through an interview and selection process.
Moore was chosen to be a K-9 handler, and then it was time to look at different dogs.
Vern, with his long sable coat, is a particularly handsome fellow.
“Vern really stood out,” said Moore.
Moore said Vern was imported from a breeder overseas and went through extensive training.
The two of them attended the CDFW K-9 Academy, which lasted a month and a half, in Novato, Moore said. CJ’s Police K-9s conducted the training.
“He’s what’s considered a dual purpose dog,” Moore said of Vern.
Vern is a detection dog who can smell for bear, deer and abalone parts, quagga mussels, and narcotics such as heroin and cocaine.
He also is a protection and apprehension K-9, protecting Moore and other team members.
CDFW said its warden K-9s “must be comfortable in unusual environments such as barriers they don’t expect, the startling noise of running across old file cabinets, old desks that have slippery surfaces, or hunching down and making their way through passages where they can’t stand up straight. Only after passing those skill tests and other tests are they certified for patrol.”
At times during the training, the dogs would be put on a dog-powered treadmill to help deal with their excess energy, CDFW said.
The amount of time a K-9 remains in service will depend on the dog itself, Moore said.
Moore said Vern began his service around the start of March and has been settling in nicely.
“He’s learning the area and he’s liking it,” said Moore.
When not on duty, Vern makes his home with Moore.
In his off time, Moore said Vern likes to play tug with a ball and rope, and loves runs and walks.
“I try to get him out hiking with me, too,” Moore said.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — On Thursday, July 1, the California Citizens Redistricting Commission will host a communities of interest, or COI, virtual hearing to capture North Coast community specific data that will help the commissioners respect community boundaries when drawing district lines, as is mandated by California’s line drawing criteria.
The meeting will take place between noon and 8 p.m.
It can be watched live here. For information, visit the commission’s website.
The Thursday meeting will focus on Lake, Del Norte, Humboldt, Mendocino, Napa, Sonoma and Trinity counties.
When the commissioners begin drawing maps using census data, they will need to follow this set of criteria, in this order, as outlined in the California Constitution:
1. Districts must be of nearly equal population to comply with the U.S. Constitution. 2. Districts must comply with the Voting Rights Act to ensure that minorities have a fair opportunity to elect representatives of their choice. 3. Districts must be drawn contiguously, so that all parts of the district are connected to each other. 4. Districts must minimize the division of counties, cities, neighborhoods and communities of interest to the extent possible. 5. Districts should be geographically compact such that nearby areas of population are not bypassed for more distant populations. 6. Where practicable, each Senate District should consist of two complete and adjacent Assembly Districts, and Board of Equalization districts should consist of 10 complete and adjacent State Senate Districts. This is known as nesting.
The commission can obtain the city and county information from those jurisdictions, but it needs the neighborhood and communities of interest information from Californians directly.
During these input meetings, participants will be asked to describe their community and will be encouraged to consider highlighting the following: — Begin with your county or city. — Mention the street names and significant locations in your neighborhood to help us identify the parameters of your community. — What are your shared interests? — What brings you together? — What is important to your community? — Are there nearby areas you want to be in a district with? — Nearby areas you don't want to be in a district with? Why or why not? — Has your community come together to advocate for important services, better schools, roads, or health centers in your neighborhood?
Registration is not required to participate in these public input meetings. The call-in number for public input on the day of each event will be 877-853-5247.
Additionally, Californians can skip the line and provide their input online by visiting https://drawmycacommunity.org/. The online COI tool is available in 14 languages and includes tutorials.
Every 10 years, after the federal government publishes updated census information, California must redraw the boundaries of its electoral districts so that the state’s population is evenly allocated among the new districts.
In 2008, California voters passed the Voters First Act, authorizing the creation of the independent California Citizens Redistricting Commission to draw new State Senate, State Assembly, and State Board of Equalization district lines.
In 2010, the Voters First Act for Congress gave the Commission the responsibility of drawing new Congressional districts following every census.

What is the Community Visioning Forum Planning Committee?
Residents from Lake County’s richly diverse communities watched on Tuesday, Feb. 23, as the Lake County Board of Supervisors unanimously proclaimed “Promoting Tolerance, Respect, Equity and Inclusion” among their utmost priorities.
Board members affirmed their commitment to host a community visioning forum to unearth priorities in the following categories:
— Meaningful actions and activities that will build bridges where there may be walls; — Fostering tolerance, respect, understanding, equity and inclusion; — Promoting non-violence and non-violent conflict resolution; — Focusing resources on underlying causes and conditions that lead to inequitable resource and justice distribution; and — Relevant solutions for any social injustices, as they may come to light.
Community members and leaders from the county of Lake, cities of Lakeport and Clearlake and tribal governments that agreed with the board’s proclamation volunteered to be a part of this historic effort, by applying for a spot on the new Countywide Community Visioning Forum Planning Committee.
LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — For the first time, the Board of Supervisors has recognized LGBTQ+ Pride Month, which members said they intend to add to their annual recognitions.
At the June 15 meeting, Board Chair Bruno Sabatier presented the proclamation, shown below.
The proclamation notes, “LGBTQ+ residents in Lake County represent our families, our friends, our neighbors, our teachers, our employees and our community leaders. Across all religions, races, and communities there are LGBTQ+ people helping our nation to become a more perfect union in reaching our ideals proclaimed in our Declaration of Independence that all ‘people’ are created equal and therefore deserve to be embraced and treated as equals.”
Sabatier said that, based on what he was told by county staff, this is the first time the county of Lake has offered such a proclamation, and he said he hopes it becomes an annual custom.
“I think it’s important to celebrate because of the changes that we’ve had in our country, in our state and in our communities,” he said.
Sabatier said he had a small pride flag to put on the supervisors’ dais for the month of June.
Supervisor Jessica Pyska thanked Sabatier for bringing forward the proclamation, adding she also hopes it’s done annually from now on.
She said she loved the small pride flag. “I think it’s a great gesture.”
However, she said she wanted to get a big pride flag to display on the outside of the courthouse where the board meets for next year.
Sabatier said there are policies on flags and lowering the flag and they should consider those before making any decision on what observances to add.
Pyska said she appreciated that. “We have a year to get that right.”
Supervisor Tina Scott agreed that they needed to look at their rules to see if they can fly the flag next year.
“A lot of progress has been made but more work needs to be done,” Scott said.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — With the Independence Day holiday rapidly approaching, Cal Fire is reminding all Californians and visitors to do their part to prevent fires caused by illegal fireworks or the misuse of “safe and sane” fireworks.
On Monday, “safe and sane” fireworks will go on sale in approximately 300 communities throughout California.
In Lake County, safe and sane fireworks are only allowed in the city of Lakeport, and can only be discharged from July 1 to 4, said Lakeport Police Chief Brad Rasmussen.
There are also legal ramifications when it comes to certain types of fireworks.
Possession or transportation of illegal fireworks such as sky-rockets, bottle rockets, roman candles, aerial shells, firecrackers and other types that explode, go into the air, or move on the ground in an uncontrollable manner can lead to a possible fine of up to $50,000 as well as prison time or jail for up to one year.
Even safe and sane fireworks taken into a city or county where they are banned are considered Illegal.
All fireworks are banned in State Responsibility Area in Colusa, Lake, Napa, Sonoma, Yolo and Solano counties.
In California, there is zero tolerance for the use and sale of illegal fireworks. It is your responsibility to check with your local ordinance regarding the use of fireworks.
Any person who causes a fire, including those started with safe and sane fireworks, can be held liable for the costs of its suppression and associated property damage. Often these costs are in the hundreds of thousands and sometimes millions of dollars.
Fireworks guidelines:
— First check if fireworks are allowed in your community. — Make sure the firework has the State Fire Marshal “Safe and Sane” seal. — Counterfeit labels do exist, only make purchases from trustworthy vendors. — Purchase only from legitimate organizations authorized to sell within California. — Have a bucket of water, sand or garden hose available at the firing site. — Read all instructions before use. — Never alter, modify or enhance fireworks — use only in the manner intended. — Make sure fireworks have proper clearance from flammable materials including dry grass and brush.
Throughout the gas tax’s controversial history, leaders have frequently called upon this revenue source when serious infrastructure investment is needed.
As he signed the Revenue Act of 1932 into law, President Herbert Hoover lauded “the willingness of our people to accept this added burden in these times in order impregnably to establish the credit of the federal government.”
In 1956 the levy rose once more, to 3 cents, when Americans were paying about 30 cents for a gallon of gas. At the same time, the government established the Highway Trust Fund to use the gas tax revenue to pay for building and maintaining the new interstates.
Gas tax revenue stopped keeping up with the expenses it was supposed to cover in the early 1970s following a severe bout of inflation and OPEC’s oil embargo. U.S. gas prices soared from about 36 cents per gallon in 1972 to $1.31 in 1981.
Responding to what members of both major political parties saw as a transportation infrastructure crisis, Congress more than doubled the tax to 9 cents per gallon as part of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982. The same law split the Highway Trust Fund and its revenue stream into two parts: The first 8 cents would finance roadwork while the other penny would finance mass transit projects.
This hike may have struck drivers as a sharp increase, but public spending on transportation infrastructure would continue to fall as a percentage of all outlays.
In 1984, Congress increased spending on highways by funneling proceeds from fines and other penalties that businesses pay for safety violations, such as failing to label hazardous materials or forcing drivers to work too many hours in a row.
Congress boosted the tax twice more in the 1990s but primarily to reduce the then-ballooning federal deficit. Only half of a 5-cent increase in 1990 went to highways and transit, while a 4.3-cent lift three years later went entirely to lowering the deficit.
Along the way, other federal fuel taxes arose, including a 24.4-cent-per-gallon diesel tax and taxes on methanol and compressed natural gas. And state fuel taxes, which in most cases began before the federal gas tax, range from as low as 8.95 cents per gallon in Alaska to as high as 57.6 cents per gallon in Pennsylvania.
Since 1993, when the federal gas tax was first parked at 18.4 cents, inflation and rising construction costs have eroded its effectiveness as a transportation-related revenue source. In addition, U.S. vehicles have grown more fuel-efficient overall – which means Americans use less fuel for every mile they drive.
As a result, highway and transit spending has significantly outpaced the revenue collected from the gas tax and other sources. Since 2008, the government has transferred over $80 billion to the fund that it had to take from other sources.
But it’s still not enough. The American Society of Civil Engineers, which gives U.S. infrastructure a C-minus, is calling on the government and private sector to increase spending on roads and bridges by at least $2.5 trillion within a decade.
While it’s true the gas tax may be regressive because lower-income people pay the same rate as those who earn higher incomes, there are still advantages to this tax.
For one thing, it follows the “user pays” principle of providing government services. Under this principle, the people using the roads are held responsible for paying for their upkeep. As the number of motorists using electric vehicles increases, however, this may become less true over time.
Finally, the government could always subsidize the tax for the poor, perhaps through annual lump-sum payments, making it less regressive.
Clearly, U.S. infrastructure is in dire need of upgrading and investment. At the end of the day, Americans will pay for it one way or another – whether in taxes or through costs of unsafe and inadequate infrastructure, including in lost lives. How the government pays for investment may matter less than that it finally does it.
