Lake County Time Machine: The Great Labor Saga

In June 1976, county employees rejected an “insulting” pay offer from the County of Lake, and things went downhill from there until the County of Lake and the employees reached an agreement in late January 1979. Employees sued the county. The supervisors were cited for contempt and nearly went to jail. Supervisors and department heads got raises, and then had to pay back some of their raises. Supervisors faced recall campaigns. One supervisor resigned. The Taxpayers Association of Lake County sued the county. Voters passed Proposition 13, which lead to employee layoffs. Two and a half years after the employees filed suit against the supervisors, the battling parties came to agreement. Step into the Time Machine to see for yourself.

Lake County Time Machine: Plane Crashes

During World War II the US government established military airfields around northern California including a number at places such as Orland, Oroville, Redding, Siskiyou County, Marysville, Santa Rosa and Novato. Novice pilots trained in hastily-constructed planes over Lake County, which led to emergency landings and crashes in Lake County. In those days Lake County had a number of small airfields scattered around, such as Polk Field near Upper Lake. Planes from both the army and the navy crashed in Lake County.

Lake County Time Machine: The Philippine Clipper Crash

Novice pilots trained in hastily-constructed planes over Lake County, which led to emergency landings and crashes in Lake County. In those days Lake County had a number of small airfields scattered around, such as Polk Field near Upper Lake. Planes from both the army and the navy crashed in Lake County. Some crashes in Sonoma and Mendocino Counties involved Lake County. When Pan Am’s Philippine Clipper crashed in Mendocino County in 1943, searchers looked for it in Lake County because its location wasn’t found for several days. Some Lake County men were involved in the search.

Lake County men served all over the globe during World War II, from the Philippines, to Australia, to D Day. They belonged to the Army –Infantry, Army Air Force and Cavalry- Navy, Marines, and Merchant Marines. Some were prisoners of war.

Some of them rest in Lake County cemeteries, others in military cemeteries on other continents. This month the Time Machine offers a sampling of stories about Lake County men who died in service.
