The Kern River Valley Heritage Foundation announced today that a contract has been secured to purchase the 189-acres immediately south of the Bob Powers Gateway Preserve.

To those emerging from the lower Kern River Canyon from Bakersfield, the large open space of Lake Isabella's Hot Springs Valley welcomes residents and visitors

alike with an expansive and widely appreciated view that states, "This is the gateway to Lake Isabella and the Kern River Valley.”

The Kern River Valley Heritage Foundation has long sought the protection of this property and is happy to report that in partnership with The Trust for Public Land, a national land conservation organization, as facilitator, the property is finally under contract.

Once purchased, the 189-

acre Hot Springs Valley Wetlands property will be protected forever (see map).

KRVHF submitted a grant application in August 2015 requesting $500,000 from the California River Parkways Grant Program and is now seeking private donations to support a recently announced fundraising campaign that will match funding from the

Hatchery silos runneth over Michael Batelaan Courier Update Last Friday morning the Kernville Hatchery took delivery of 18,000 pounds of food to raise trophy sized rainbow trout for Kern River.

This was the result of our generous community and all those who attended and contributed to the "Fishstock" musical event which raised approximately $22,000 Labor Day weekend.

The group ordered 15,000 pounds that came in a bulk tank truck, in three grades. Since they were the last stop of two deliveries, they were able to take advantage of the remaining load to garner an extra 3,000 pounds of pellets for the fish. The food was priced at 55 cents per pound which is a considerable savings over what the state usually

At delivery, they were able to fill the three storage silos at the Hatchery; each holds 5,000 pounds each. Then they had to grab every container possible. All the 32 gallon

Plan for the week ahead using the Courier Calendar.

Gateway expansion planned

Falling backward is not always good unless you’re looking forward to getting that extra hour of sleep on Saturday night.

Daylight saving time (DST) ends this Sunday, Nov. 1 at 2 a.m. (or should I say 1 a.m.?) when we get our extra hour of morning "daylight" back.

Official time turns from 1:59 a.m. back to 1 a.m. early Sunday morning, earning us an extra hour of sleep, and a earlier sunrise.

Congress passed the most recent DST revision in 2007, which sets the dates for DST as the second Sunday in March until the first Sunday in November.

The first daylight savings law went into effect in 1918, but no Federal law actually requires states to observe the change.

But if they do, they have to do it at the same time as everyone else.

The clock-changing time of 2 a.m. was selected instead of midnight, so that DST would not cause it to all of a sudden be “yesterday,” which could make time change quite confusing.

If you’re feeling a bit confused about the time, you can check the official U.S. time online at www.time. gov.

Rite Aid, Walgreens, may merge Michael Batelaan Courier Just in Just when you’ve gotten used to the Payless store in town being Rite Aid and going to Rite Aid for your Thrifty ice cream Walgreens is said to be aquiring Rite Aid. According to NBC news, pharmacy giant Walgreens Boots Alliance has reached a deal to buy rival Rite Aid, creating a merger of two of the nation's largest drugstore chains.

The deal announced Tuesday involves Walgreens buying out Rite Aid for $9 a share, or $9.4 billion.

The total size of the deal is $17.2 billion including acquired net debt, Walgreens said.

Rite Aid will still operate under its own name, but that could change in the future.

Walgreens Boots Alliance includes Walgreens and Duane Reade stores. The company said it has more than 13,100 stores in 11 countries.

Rite Aid has around 4,600 stores in the U.S., according to Rite Aid. If approved the deal is expected to close in the second half of 2016.

Message of faith

Unboxed Dan Schlensker, Courier Columnist In several ways each of us human beings lives in a box. We are subject to constraints, shackles and walls of a variety of sorts.

We are confined because of the limi- Schlensker tations of our humanity and the nature of our fallenness, which we inherited from our original parents, Adam and Eve. We humans all have limited power.

Some of those limitations are individual and personal; there are limits to how much we can lift, how fast we can run and how high we can jump.

Our health sometimes erects boundaries to our abilities and our feelings and, thus, our activities. And collectively, we can't just do, build or fabricate anything we can think of. There are limitations, beginning with the laws of physics and chemistry, moving through the individual limitations of people, and ending up with our limited abilities to organize.

We humans are also restricted intellectually. Indeed, there have been some really smart people in this world; there are now! And to be sure, they have come up with some very clever concepts, processes and products. But we have yet to cure cancer or the common cold or to create new life. And in this world there are constraints on our productivity because of limited material resources. We have some wonderful products and

materials, like ceramic space shuttle tiles and flesh-strengthening plastic netting, but there are still niches that cannot be filled due to the nature of matter.

A major deficiency manifests itself in our performance. None of us is able to behave according to God's expectations. We cannot keep His laws and guidelines. We are, by our human nature, shackled and constrained by God's law and are all identified as lawbreakers.

However, Jesus entered a box our box - for us. He gave up His unlimited almighty power (the same power that spoke the cosmos into existence) and the glory of His heavenly home. He took on our broken flesh with all of its limitations, (except sin) including sickness and fatigue.

He was tortured and incarcerated unjustly by the world's institutional set-ups. He experienced the limitation of death, the devastation of hell and the ultimate box: a tomb. But then He burst out of that box and was glorified by His Father to a position, which is above all else!

To be connected to Him by faith is to share in His limitlessness. All our deficiencies, all our limitations either become unimportant or irrelevant in the big picture, or - as is the case with our sinfulness - are forgiven, paid for by Jesus death on the cross.

And that is the truth asserted by Jesus in John 8:31-32, which has set free, unboxed, all who believe in Him. Dan Schlensker is pastor of Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church Lake Isabella.

Easy-going comedy Sam Struckhoff Courier Contributor

PICKS OF THE WEEK “Trainwreck” (R) - Comedian Amy Schumer stars in her first leading-role in this raunchy romantic comedy that goes against rom-com trends. Schumer's character gets the traditionally male role of being the over-the-top-but-likable slob saddled with immature ideas about love and commitment. She ends up having real feelings for a surgeon played by Bill Hader. He's got the role of being there for the protagonist as they hilariously struggle to grow up and be in a healthy relationship -- usually the woman's job in this formula. Lebron James surprises everyone with his scenes (not cameos) as Hader's friend and confidant.

Schumer shines as she should.

Hader is really hitting his mark with easy-going comedy and just the right amount of drama at just the right times.

“Terminator Genisys” (PG-13) In the post-robot-apocalypse, human resistance leader John Connor (Jason Clark) sends his trusted comrade Kyle (Jai Courtney) back to 1980s to protect his mother from the machines. But what's this?! The time-travel thingy done messed up, landing Kyle in an alternate timeline in the year 2017, where Sarah Connor (Emilia Clark) has already befriended the Terminator from T-2. Also, a new app called Genisys will connect all of our data and devices, opening the door for machine takeover. That's as much plot as can be coherently explained in this

four-car pile-up of a movie.

Putting the current-era "Ah-nuld" next to a computer-recreation of him in his prime 1980s form may not have been such a good idea. Back then, the Terminator was an ice-cold killer who could give you chills with a one-liner.

Now the cybernetic assassin is more of a good-natured old pal, joking about what a tough guy he was.

“Mr. Holmes” (PG) -- Long after the height of his crime-solving career, the brilliant detective Sherlock Holmes (Ian McKellen) returns to England to find that the popular stories of his exploits are all wrong. Now in his 90s, Holmes tends to his bees and worries over his diminishing mental powers. Never truly able to retire, Holmes gets caught up in one more mystery with the help of a curious and observant young boy (Milo Parker). This isn't the fists-of-fury Sherlock of Robert Downey Jr., nor is it the fast-talking defective detective played by Benedict Cumberbatch.

McKellen shows audiences a new angle on the familiar hero.

Health Insurance Matters

No COLA This Year Harry P. Thal Courier Columnist I'm not referring to Coke or Pepsi. If anything, it's like Diet Coke. There will be no Social Security Cost Of Living Allowance increase Thal for the millions of Americans who depend either partially or in full on Social Security.

Now, why would a health insurance column talk about Social Security?

Because there is are just a few lines in the law that state that if there is no COLA, then the cost of Medicare Part B cannot be increased. This provision has created a problem.

Medicare's Part B, the part of Medicare that pays for Medical coverage (not hospitalization [Part A] or prescriptions [Part D]) is normally paid for automatically from those people receiving Social Security income benefits. The rate is $104.90 for most.

I shall assume for a minute that $104.90 was the correct amount for 2014. By the way, this is not the true cost of Part B, but 25 percent of the cost. The remaining 75 percent comes from the government's general revenue that all tax payers support. For the year 2015, the White House announced that there would be no increase. This sounded good, but I questioned it, as in all other sectors of healthcare, the costs were increasing.

So we had a low cost in 2015.

Now we enter 2016. While the Center for Medicare and Medicaid hasn't announced any hard numbers,

it is believed that the real cost of Part B for 2016 should be about $132.00 per month; a large step from $104.90.

It would have been easier to have had some number in between to get us there a bit more gradually.

But there are millions of people who are not yet receiving Social Security benefits. There are many people who may have turned 65 in the last year or so, and they are waiting to receive their full retirement benefit when they are 66 or older. There are those people over 65 who are still working, are not receiving Social Security, and there are the hundreds of thousands who will be turning 65 in 2016 and will be enrolling in Medicare.

Now, get this. Medicare needs about $132.00 for benefits, they can't collect from the millions where payment is coming from Social Security, so the only resource left is those who are being billed for Medicare, or will be on Social Security beginning in 2016 where the "hold harmless" provision is not in effect for them. So, it is projected that the remaining population will be paying $159 per month for Part B or more. Remember, people who had incomes of more than $85,000 as an individual or $170,000 as a couple in the year 2014 (there is a two year look back), will pay even more. The numbers have not been announced, but keep watching your Courier. I'll discuss when released.

Harry P. Thal, MA, is a licensed insurance broker in California (0621106) Thal is on the National Association of Health Underwriters Medicare Advisory Board.

Super Crossword

ARIES (Mar. 21 to Apr. 19) Your honesty continues to impress everyone who needs reassurance about a project. But be careful you don't lose patience with those who are still not ready to act.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Pushing others too hard to do things your way could cause resentment and raise more doubts. Instead, take more time to explain why your methods will work.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be more considerate of those close to you before making a decision that could have a serious effect on their lives.

Explain your intentions and ask for their advice.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might have to defend a workplace decision you plan to make.

Colleagues might back you up on this, but it's the facts that will ultimately win the day for you. Good luck.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) The Big Cat's coworkers might not be doing enough to help get that project finished. Your roars might stir things up, but gentle purrr-suasion will prove to be more effective.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Someone you care for needs help with a problem. Give it lovingly and without judging the situation.

Whatever you feel you should know will be revealed later.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) While

you're to be admired for how you handled recent workplace problems, be careful not to react the same way to a new situation until all the facts are in.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Rely on your keen instincts as well as the facts at hand when dealing with a troubling situation. Be patient. Take things one step at a time as you work through it.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your curiosity leads you to ask questions.

However, the answers might not be what you hoped to hear. Don't reject them without checking them out.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Be careful not to tackle a problem without sufficient facts. Even sure-footed Goats need to know where they'll land before leaping off a mountain path.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Appearances can be deceiving. You need to do more investigating before investing your time, let alone your money, in something that might have some hidden flaws.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your recent stand on an issue could make you the focus of more attention than you would like. But you'll regain your privacy, as well as more time with loved ones, by week's end.

NOTE: THERE IS A SUMMARY OF THE INFORMATION IN THIS DOCUMENT ATTACHED. IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 05/09/2007. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. Trustor: Percy Richard Jr. and Dorothy Richard, Husband and Wife. Duly Appointed Trustee: Power Default Services, Inc.. Recorded 05/18/2007 as Instrument No. 0207105196 in Book ---, Page --- of Official Records in the Office of the Recorder of Kern County California.

Date of Sale: 11/13/2015 at 10:00 AM. Place of Sale: At the front entrance to the City Hall, 1501 Truxtun Avenue, Bakersfield, California.

Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $273,868.23. WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH, CASHIER'S CHECK DRAWN ON A STATE OR NATIONAL BANK, A CHECK DRAWN

BY A STATE OR FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, OR A CHECK DRAWN BY A STATE OR FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION, A SAVINGS ASSOCIATION OR SAVINGS BANK SPECIFIED IN SECTION 5102 OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE. All right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by the Trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described as: More fully described in said Deed of Trust.

Street Address or other common designation of real property: 6200 Wilson Road, Bakersfield, CA 93309, A.P.N.: 384091-10-00-2. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above.

The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $273,868.23.

The beneficiary of the Deed of Trust has executed and delivered to the undersigned a written request to commence foreclosure and the undersigned

caused a Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property. Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale, the opening bid may be less than the total debt.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed and if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (855) 427-2204 or visit this Internet Website http://www.altisource. com/MortgageServices/DefaultManage ment/TrusteeServices.laspx using the file number assigned to this case: 201202756. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property.

Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale, the opening bid may be less than the total debt.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed and if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (866) 960-8299 or visit this Internet Website http://www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultMan agement/TrusteeServices.laspx using the file number assigned to this case: 201501138-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF FRANK RONALD SETINC **(AMENDED)** BPB-15-002397 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of FRANK RONALD SETINC A PETITION for Probate has been filed by: JOHN KEVIN COSGROVE in the Superior Court of California, County of KERN. THE PETITION for Probate requests that JOHN KEVIN COSGROVE be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent's will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate.

The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on: March 17, 2016 at 9:00 A.M. in Dept. P, located at 1215 Truxtun Avenue, Bakersfield, CA 93301.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the deceased, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in Section 58(b) of the California Probate Code or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under Section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California Law. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code Section 1250.

A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on this property. Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale, the opening bid may be less than the total debt.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may

Tanks again - Bud Reed, a volunteer with American Legion Post 711 and American Legion Riders puts the finishing touches on the M48 tank. on display at Tank Park in Lake Isabella. The volunteers were motivated to take on the task to honor all veterans.

Park vehicles receive makeover Michael Batelaan Courier Time Not since 2004 have the tanks at Tank Park been treated so well.

Legionnaires and Legion Riders from American Legion Post 711 came out last Saturday to repaint the M48 "Patton" tank and amphibious DUK that welcome you to the park. Legion Riders president Mike Brownell led a group of 12 men and women in the task. Using an airless spray gun they painted the tanks inside and out.

When Kern County Parks and Recreation director Bob Lerude called a few months ago to see if the American Legion would be interested in taking on

the job, they jumped at the chance.

Parks and Recreation staff were out early Saturday morning to power wash both tanks in preparation for the paint. Rick Wolfe, historian and program director for Chapter 711 shot a video of the activity. The video will be made into a CD to keep the 18 American Legion veterans who are now living in skilled nursing or assisted living updated on the Chapter's activities.

Besides the donated painting time, ten gallons of olive green paint was donated to the project by L&M Lumber, and for any other supplies, and True Value provided discounts on needed materials.

State of California. To succeed, all private donations - large and small - are requested, to complete the $900,000 needed to acquire the property and implement development of compatible public access on the site.

Once the necessary funds are raised, the 189acre Hot Springs Valley Wetlands property will be owned and managed by the KRVHF as an addition to the adjacent 18-acre Bob Powers Gateway Preserve.

Besides this fundraising campaign, KRVHF's future steps include property inventory and planning for walking trails, information kiosks, interpretive signage, development of a docent/volunteer corps, adult to youth education programming, and overall public outreach. All these activities will be undertaken with the goal of respecting the sensitive wetlands that make up a large portion of the 189-acre Hot Springs Valley Wetlands property.

"A significant vision for this property, and the bordering Bob Powers Gateway Preserve, is to serve as an important destination for KRV residents and visitors alike, and as a launching point for enjoyment of the many other local to world class recognized recreational and

Hot Springs Valley Wetlands Project support services offered throughout the Kern River Valley and Southern Sierra Nevada," said Kern River Valley Heritage Foundation Board Member and local businessman Steve Spradlin.

Kern River Valley Heritage Foundation Board President Tom Anderson adds, "The Hot Springs Valley Wetlands project will benefit the quality of life of local residents and visitors which is The Trust for Public Land's goal. The Kern River Valley Heritage Foundation is very

pleased to have the Trust as a partner. It is a pleasure working with them."

All donations to help the community succeed in securing the 189-acre Hot Springs Valley Wetlands property addition to the Bob Powers Gateway Preserve should be directed to the Heritage Foundation. To donate or get involved contact Bob Barnes at 760-382-1260 or bbarnes@lightspeed.net.

Donations may be mailed to KRVHF at P.O. Box 1249, Lake Isabella. All donations to the Foundation are tax-exempt.
