Odds and ends have proven to be the stuff of Elizabeth Raybee’s life. Born in urban Detroit, Raybee soon relocated with her family to Michigan’s farming country about thirty minutes away. The move turned out to be a critical juncture in the young girl’s life. After set-tling in, her parents transformed their twenty acres into a business venture. Harold and Mickey Rayberg retained the house and garden but began stacking ten-foot piles of wrecked cars and car parts everywhere else. Elizabeth and her five siblings took full advantage of their junkyard backyard and its treasures. This giant playground also became a hands-on artistic training ground for Raybee. Springs, gauges, car parts, and other discarded odds and ends fed her creative imagination. “I was probably about seven or eight years old when I made my first mosaic,” says Raybee. “I made it out of junkyard stuff – copper wire, rubber, ball bearings, bro-
ken bits of cars. I assembled the pieces and glued them in a Buster Brown shoebox top, so it was framed already.” The land where she grew up also inspired Raybee’s love of the natural world. The place, surrounded by farms, was filled with frogs and bursting with berries in the summer. She recalls exploring the property barefoot and drawing and painting from a young age. Although she received formal art training in painting and printmaking at the Kansas City Art Institute, her earlier experiences seem to have been among the most important steps in her artistic development.
Raybee says, “I always considered myself an artist and people knew me as an artist in grade school and high school. I painted murals in my parents’ bedroom and in my high school cafeteria.” As soon as she graduated from KCAI in 1976, Raybee headed to San Francisco. She arrived on the heels of the hippie revolution and made a beeline for its center. She moved into a flat in the Haight, where she spent a year tiling her bathroom. This effort led to her first mosaic tiling commissions – a tub surround in the City and a ceiling in Berkeley. In 1981, Raybee joined the collective of San Francisco artisans known as Project Artaud. Here she occupied her own quarters but col-laborated with her fellow artists on projects, including crafts, visual arts, and performing

arts. By 1988, she’d expanded beyond functional tile work to creating wall pieces. “In 1990 and 1991, I really started doing mosaics and never looked back,” Raybee says. “The permanence is nice and I like the little challenges and the excitement of finding just the right small piece.” Raybee’s experience at Artaud, a business course for artists at Fort Mason Art Center, teaching art at City College, and a job at California Lawyers for the Arts led her on a new path – artistic activism. Raybee’s mission is at least two-fold: first, to use art to touch people, not simply to entertain them but to inspire them to find their own creative voice and make their own art; second, to provide artists the practical tools they need to succeed in marketing their art. Over the past fifteen years since she moved to rural Potter Valley in Mendocino County, the mosaicist has nurtured art and artists in her community. She developed Grout Camp, a summer mosaic work-shop at her 40-acre ranch on the Russian River. Raybee also became active with GASP (Get Artists in the Schools Program), directing student mural projects. She encour-ages her students to create an overall vision for each mural, rather than executing an established design. Most recently, she’s poured her organizational energy into Art Center Ukiah, where she’s now Program Director, booking exhibits and events. Currently, Raybee has two ACU exhibits in the planning stages. She’s curat-ing “Patron Saints,” a show of handmade books scheduled to open in December. She’s also organizing a national jur-ied art exhibit for 2011 enti-tled “Land of the Free.”
The artist’s personal work contin-ues to evolve. In 2000, Raybee, long a collector of scrap commercial tile, began making her own ceramic tiles. “Handmade tiles opened up a whole new world to me,” Raybee explains. “I’m a storyteller and this really allows me to get the narrative to come through like when I was a painter.” Raybee’s new world is chock full of stories that she conveys through hand formed and hand painted tiles, glass beads, smalti (small, colorful glass tiles), mirrors, photographs, and millefiore (“a thousand flowers,” the Italian name for floral patterned beads and discs made from rods of glass or clay), among other odds and ends. Some of her nar-rative portraits are commissioned and others emerge naturally from the soul of her experience. Richly textured and colored, they stand as striking visual personal histories. At the same time,
Raybee continues her artistic mission, pressing for civic approval of downtown mural projects, collaborating with student muralists, teaching, and developing new
exhibits and programs for her local art center. With Elizabeth Raybee, odds and ends tell the story and com-plete the picture.

LAKE COUNTY BACKROADSOver Hill And Dale In Western Lake County
As I started out to explore the byways of neighboring Lake County, I reminded myself of these interesting facts: Clear Lake is the largest natural freshwater lake in California, and possi-bly the oldest lake in North America; the Geysers area, on Cobb Mountain, is the largest produc-ing geothermal field in the world; and Adams Springs Golf Course, between Clear Lake and Cobb Mountain, is my favorite place in the world for an affordable round of golf. And, perfect for my purposes, the course is only accessible via one or more of Lake County’s many delightful backroads. There are four ways to go directly by car from Ukiah to Lake County, only one of which will get you there in less than half a day. The oth-ers, Hwy 175, or dirt roads over Cow Mountain or the old Toll Road from Hopland, are adven-tures unto themselves. Only having half a day (reserving the other half for golf and relaxation) I opted for the sensible route, up Hwy 101 and then east on scenic Hwy 20. Our tour of Lake County begins at the Mendocino/Lake County line, about 15 miles east of Hwy 101, where within a mile or two you’ll come upon the sparkling waters of Blue Lakes, on the edge of which is one of the cleanest, sincerest looking “Welcome” signs on the planet. If you’re not in a hurry, pull over and jump in the lake; the refreshingly cool, clean water makes a great introduction to Lake County’s “vacationland.” After a dip continue a little way down the highway to the Scott Valley Road turnoff. As a county road-sign tells you, the next nine miles are full of twists and turns. But the scenery is classic backroad Lake County – cone-shaped, chaparral-covered hills, grasslands and meadows inter-
spersed with stately, shade-filled old walnut groves and horse pastures – and well worth the few extra minutes to get to Lakeport. At Hwy 29, get on Lake County’s token stretch of honest-to-god freeway and drive eight miles or so, past the Kelseyville junction to Bottle Rock Road, on your right. Turn right here and climb quickly up Bottle Rock toward the dark, conifer-covered eastern slope of Cobb Mountain. As you approach the forested hillside, notice the glittering obsidian – from which the road gets its name – exposed by the steep road-cuts. In your rearview mirror looms the impressive form of volcanic Mount Konocti. When the road levels off after a long, uphill pull, look for Harrington Flat Road on your left. This narrow, mostly paved country lane winds through oak, pine and manzanita woodland, past pretty Boggs Lake Preserve.

After about four miles it intersects with Sulphur Creek Road, coming up the hill from Bottle Rock Road. (If you’re gravel averse, stay on Bottle Rock Road to the bottom of the hill and turn left on Sulphur Creek Road.) Turn left here and within a few minutes you’ll drive right past the seventh green at Adams Springs Golf Course. If you’re a golfer – or even if you just enjoy a pleasant green landscape evocative of California in “the good old days” (when a gallon of gas was less than $2 and a round of golf was less than $40!) – you’ll love this delightful little moun-tain course. Follow the road around to the clubhouse for a quick nine holes and/or a first-rate burger, prepared by the friendliest clubhouse staff anywhere. Adams Springs was once one of the most popular family resorts in northern California. It and Hoberg’s, just down Hwy 175 a few miles, featured first-rate lodg-ings, hot spring baths, Olympic-sized outdoor swimming pools, trail rides and, on weekend summer nights, live entertainment by such top names as Tommy Dorsey and his orchestra. Unfortunately, the vacationing public’s tastes changed after World War II, and Cobb Mountain’s hot springs resorts faded into the sepia-toned past. The ramblingly beautiful Adams Springs Lodge burned to the ground in the late 1940’s and was never rebuilt. Hoberg’s, at one time the largest private resort in the state, has operated as a religious retreat since the early 1970’s. (Incidentally, Rob Roy Golf Course, near Hoberg’s, is open to the public and, like Adams Springs, is an attrac-tive, and attractively-priced, nine-hole course.) To complete your drive and “close the loop” drive back toward Hwy 29 on Hwy 175. (From Adams Springs, turn left on Hwy 175.) The two-lane highway winds downhill past the still-active resort town of Loch Lomond, along a wooded creek and eventually through the middle of an eye-catching vineyard, which sprawls over acres and acres of gently rolling foothills, outlined in the distance by dark evergreen forest. At the intersection of Hwys 175 and
29 you can either turn left and drive back toward Lakeport, passing the turnoff to Bottle Rock Road along the way, or you can extend your journey by turning right and driving about ten miles down Hwy 29 to Point Lakeview Road. A left turn on Point Lakeview will reward you with stunning views across miles of vineyards to distant Clear Lake and a close-up view of Mt. Konocti. The road takes you to the shores of Clear Lake, past a number of pleasant lakeside communities (and, incidentally, more golf courses, the best of which is semi-private Buckingham Country Club). Whether you take the long or short way from Hwy 175 back toward Lakeport, take the time to drive into the little town of Kelseyville, which figured prominently in the early – and notoriously bloody – settlement of the region. Kelseyville, the “Pear Capital of the World,” is also the home of Steele Winery, one of Northern California’s premier winemakers. Just out of town, on the old road between Kelseyville and Lakeport, is beautiful Clear Lake State Park, whose shoreline teems with a rich variety of bird life and whose trails and beaches afford wonderful vistas across the lake – which, in case you’ve forgotten, is the largest natural, freshwater lake in California! Finally, if you’re driving back to Ukiah, and have a few minutes for a quick back-road side-trip, take Bachelor Valley Road north from Hwy 20, a few miles west of Hwy 29, and follow the road around this pretty, agricultural corner of Lake County, to the intersection with Witter Springs Road. A left turn on Witter Springs takes you right back out to Hwy 20.
Happy motoring!

Most Mendocino folks know about the communes of the 1960’s and '70s, but few know that communes have been a part of Mendocino County history since the late-19th century. Some communal groups homesteaded near the
north coast soon after the timber boom replaced the gold rush. Soon mills sprouted at the mouth of every stream or anchorage for the “dog-hole schooners” from Rockport south to Nip 'n Tuck. Shiploads of men arrived by schooner,
many of them immigrants seeking a better life. Life in the logging camps, mills and woods was grueling. Most early camps had crude accommodations for families, or none. Time off from work was mostly spent in the bars in nearby towns, fighting or visiting the “ladies of the night.” Money gone, the men returned to the camps. More is known about the Finnish communes established near Fort Bragg and Redwood Valley thanks to local newspapers. And some descendants are still County residents. However, the colonies that developed inland in the County included several groups of Russians with no connection to Fort Ross. The rolling hills and valleys of the

interior looked very inviting to would-be settlers, especially in the spring, but the interior was connected to the outside world only by deer and Indian trails. Available public transportation was by horse, stagecoach, or on foot. Homesteaders in a valley ventured out only when necessary, so even neighbors scarcely knew one another. Each little community had to be pretty self-sufficient. Newcomers were unfamiliar with farming techniques for rainless summers. Many could not speak the language of their neighbors, and so could not learn from others. The first recorded inland communal settlement was founded by Father Peter Jeram, a Slavonian Catholic priest who believed his group would prosper in northern California. He traveled to San Francisco and negotiated for land through the archdiocese there. In 1896 he bought a tract in Eden Valley, northeast of Willits. Soon a group of Slavonian settlers arrived. Under Jeram’s direction they built a saw mill to provide the colony with a livelihood. They built two long houses with communal living and dining facilities. Everything looked so promising that the group sent word to the Balkans for more Slavonians to come, and they began construction of a third long house. The Carey post office, established in 1891, was changed to Jeram in 1896. When Father Jeram journeyed sixteen miles to Covelo, the nearest town, for supplies, he had to cross the Middle Fork of the Eel River. His horse slipped into a hole, throwing him into the swift current and he drowned. Their only real leader lost, the group lacked the necessary skills

and knowledge to continue in their new environment. Unease grew, and when a colony child drowned in an accident freakily similar to the priest’s, the colonists decided that God had turned against their venture. They abandoned their dreams and departed, leaving vague rumors of foreign treasure buried on colony land. A few fortune-hunting neighbors searched but found only a few Balkan coins. The Jeram post office closed in 1897. Early last century, another hardy band of Russian Baptists appeared near the Mendocino-Sonoma county border where they purchased a farm. They were better equipped than the Eden Valley group. The San Francisco Baptist Church supplied some of their initial capital, and gave them occasional donations. They were familiar with modern farming methods, and their religious faith provided a strong bond which carried them through several years of disappointing farming results. Because their crops were not earning sufficient income for the colony they decided to enlarge their production. With most of their remaining cash they bought several tractors in San Francisco. The tractors were delivered by schooner to Point Arena where colony men unloaded them and drove them inland. Enroute a bridge collapsed under the heavy machinery. The colony simultaneously lost a new tractor and an old member. A year and a half later, the Russians abandoned that cooperative venture.
Another group of Russians tried a communal farm in Potter Valley, near Ukiah. They were initially handicapped by the lack of affiliations with any support group, but worse, they spoke no English. They could not communicate with neighbors or establish cooperative relations essential to such an isolated existence. They tried to compensate with prodigious labor, but the era of large-scale farming had arrived. Other neighboring small farms also went under. One cooperative venture was undertaken by several Indian tribes. Throughout the second half of the last century, the natives had watched the whites
take over their land. Attempts at retaliation had brought U.S. Army posts to Fort Bragg and Round Valley. They felt they were being herded onto shrinking patches of land. At a meeting three chiefs proposed using white tactics. They agreed to buy land from the whites. A blanket was spread out and $800 was collected for a down payment. Next a site was selected and they hired a knowledgeable white man as their agent. When a group of whites later challenged the Indians’ right to the land they had purchased, the chiefs filed suit. The case went all the way to the State Supreme Court, and the Indians eventually won.
