Michael Batelaan Courier Feature
When leaves appear green, it is because they contain an abundance of chlorophyll. Light regulates chlorophyll production, so as autumn days grow shorter, less chlorophyll is produced so the green color starts to fade from leaves. At the same time, surging sugar concentrations cause increased production of anthocyanin pigments. Leaves containing primarily anthocyanins will appear red. Carotenoids are another class of pigments found in some leaves. Carotenoids can be orange, yellow, or red, but most of these pigments found in leaves are yellow. Leaves with good amounts of both anthocyanins and carotenoids will appear orange. Leaves with carotenoids but little or no anthocyanin will appear yellow. In the absence of these pigments, other plant chemicals also can affect leaf color. Te m p e r a t u r e affects the rate of chemical reactions, including those in leaves, so it plays a part in leaf color. However, it's mainly light levels that are responsible for fall foliage colors. Sunny autumn days are needed for the brightest color displays, since anthocyanins require light. Overcast days will lead to more yellows and browns.

Rich Little Poor Girl, it the just released book by Kern Valley resident Betty Fleming, but it was a lifetime in the making. Rich Little Poor Girl would become a family project, written by Fleming, encouraged and illustrated by Fleming's sister Jeanette Rogers-Erickson, and the composition and layout completed by grandson in-law Brad Alexander. "I could not have done it without Brad's help" said Fleming regarding preparing her book for publication. All 112 pages have
over 200 anecdotes and stories, 235 photographs, 14 illustrations and two family recipes. Fleming dedicated the book to her husband of 64 years, Paul Fleming, their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and their families. The book is more than Fleming's autobiography, but stories of what the forward describes as how families are made. It is the keeper of memories and family historian of the major events that shaped her life: births, deaths, marriages, the good times and the hard times. Rich Little Poor Girl is a book about her fami-
ly's poor beginnings and a lifetime of memories. Fleming remembers things as far back as 2 years old. Fleming was born in 1931, before the family had electricity or TV. She wanted her grandkids and great grandkids to know what life was like, and what it could be again. Among the anecdotes, Fleming notes that her sister Jeannette illustrated the book. When Jeannette was in the second grade her teacher told her she would be a great illustrator some day. Fleming and RogersErickson's family moved to Van Nuys, CA when Fleming was 6 years old
from Oklahoma following Route 66 to California during the time of the Great Depression. Her father had lost his business, a gas station, at age 57. They came to California in a truck with a homemade camper. As a family they traveled in motor homes to 47 states across the country, sometimes as much as 9 weeks at a time. One time, 23 family members went on an Alaska cruise. Fleming and her husband Paul lived in Pacoima, Panorama City, and Northridge, building

Michael Batelaan Courier Chatter The Dollar General in Wofford Heights quietly opened Sunday with hours from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Many Kern Valley residents were disappointed that the road in front of the store was merely widened and a left turn lane was not installed, as expected. A steady stream of new customers have been seen throughout this week. Several local residents have been employed in the store.

Traffic & Safety STOP September traffic statistics Scott Griswold, California Highway Patrol Courier Contributor
Traffic Collisions - 20: Injury - 9 Fatal - 1 DUI Arrests - 3 DUI Collisions - 2 Suspended/Unlicensed Drivers Arrested - 21 Safety tip of the month: Remember to keep a high visual horizon when driving. Keep your eyes up and look ahead of you. This will give you more time to react when a situation arises. We all know there are many obstacles when driving mountainous roads. This is why drivers need to pay close attention to their driving. The collisions are up from the month of August and almost all of the collisions are a result of inattention or speed. If we pay attention and watch our speed, it will make the Kern River Valley a safer place to drive.

Lack of house numbering needs to be addressed I have been taking my new puppy for walks around my housing tract in Lake Isabella. I was shocked to see so many homes without their numbers displayed on the house or near the street. Hopefully the residents never need emergency help (fire, ambulance, law enforcement) as it will take a while for them to locate the correct house. Karene Williams Lake Isabella

Children's Christmas Musical to begin practice Practice and play assignments will begin on Wednesday, October 8th at 4 p.m. at the Kernville First Baptist Church located at 46 Valley View Drive, next door to the Pizza Barn in Kernville. "Bows of Holly" is open to all children of all faiths 6 years and older. There will be lots of songs, dancing and various parts available. The musical is about Holly, a young girl with a compassionate heart. She has launched a toy and food drive for the needy. It's all for a good cause and her heart is in the right place---at least at first. Then when everything she and her friends have collected is stolen by some street kids, Holly has to figure out what to do. This is a great musical with a great message for kids. They will be practicing every Wednesday from 4 to 5 p.m. The play will be performed on Sunday, December 7. You may contact Marsha Lassen at 760-417-0715 or the church office at 760-376-6403 for more information.

Message of faith
Baffling questions Dan Schlensker, Courier Columnist I've heard them called "imponderables," questions such as, "Why are there locks on the doors at Denny's?" (The sign says "Always open.") Schlensker "Why do doctors and lawyers call what they do practice?" "Why is abbreviation such a long word?" "Why are boxing rings square?" "What was the best thing before sliced bread?" "How do they get the deer to cross the highway at those yellow signs?" "How did the fool and his money get together in the first place?" "When they ship Styrofoam, what do they pack it in?" "Why do you park in a driveway but drive on a parkway?" We say, "I don't understand; go figger!" Similarly there are some "imponderables" where God is concerned, too! Why would the almighty Creator of the universe be aware of and love me? Why would such a powerful Being lower Himself to take on the form of one of His creatures? Why would He subject Himself to bitter rejection, brutal torture, excruciating pain and a shameful, humiliating execution on a cross for the sake of people, who were spitting in His face, and had been for centuries … and would continue to do so?! Go figger!
Through the prophet Isaiah, God said, "My thoughts are not your thoughts, Neither are your ways My ways, … For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, And do not return there without watering the earth, And making it bear and sprout, And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; So shall My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it." (Isaiah 55:8-11) That "Word" was identified in the first chapter of John's gospel account as Jesus of Nazareth, the God-man, God, Himself, in human flesh. In John chapter three we hear that same incarnate word, Jesus, say, "God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life." Jesus was speaking of Himself, Who was being put forth as a sin-offering for the people of the world and all that's wrong with the world. Why? Because God loved us - you and me. Inconceivable! Unfathomable! But true! And was His Word successful, like God said? You can bet your life on it - your eternal life! Dan Schlensker is pastor of Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church in Lake Isabella. This is a classic that originally ran October 2013.

A new face in our Emergency Services Department Introducing Dr. Kevin Chamas, our new Medical Director of Emergency Room Services
"I believe medicine has shifted to include more of an attitude for patient centered care. A patient wants to be seen quickly, and my goal is to improve the flow of emergency care here. Just as important is that we need to keep the patient updated and informed about what to expect while they are in our care. The doctors and nurses I work with every day do a great job helping the people who come through our doors." Dr. Kevin Chamas New state-of-the-art Central Monitoring System allows our ER doctors and nurses to rapidly respond to a patient's needs.
A recently acquired piece of technology, affectionately named "Robo-Doc" is now available at Kern Valley Hospital Emergency Room, helping to give the possible stroke victim an upper hand on the situation. The stroke robot is available 24 hours a day, allowing a possible stroke victim to be examined face-to-face and received treatment from a neurologist through our tele-medicine program. If there is any chance at all that the stroke can be reversed, it has to happen within the first three hours of symptoms being present. Symptoms of a stroke may include numbness, confusion, trouble seeing or walking, dizziness and severe headache. If symptoms appear, do not delay, call 911 and get to the nearest emergency room.

Talking About Real Estate
Five ways to not sell your home Matt Freeman Courier Columnist Whenever a property is put on the market by a seller it is always with the best intentions of selling. However, that Freeman being said there are some things that a seller can do that can really reduce the chances of sale. As my dad says, “Do you want to sell your home, or just have it for sale?” Here are five “don’ts” for sellers. ■ Overprice. This is by far the worst thing you can do as a seller to hamstring the sale of your property. Gone are the days when we in the real estate business would say “comps are a tool, but not the rule.” When a real estate agent could recommend a price and the seller still sell for $100K over or something. Not so anymore, comparable properties are more important than ever. Banks are tightening their standards and requiring appraisers to not go back more than three months on their reports. Get a good real estate agent that is experienced in estimating property value in a buyer’s market. ■ Underpay. Here is another biggie. The days of being able to put a listing up for 2 percent commission and seeing it sell in a week with multiple offers on it are gone as well. In order to maximize your exposure as a seller, pay the going commission rate or even pay more! Real estate folks work
hard, and we don't get a stea’y paycheck. We only get paid when we sell. So a lot of real estate agents will not even show a home at reduced commission. Don’t cost yourself a sale to save a buck or two. ■ Clutter. It is so important to have a clean, presentable home. We all have a lot of personal stuff, you should see the room where I am writing this column right now! Nevertheless, other people are looking at the house, not the stuff. Make sure they can see the house through the stuff. ■ Pick the wrong agent. Picking someone with a good reputation is important and a good record of sales. Living in the area a long time is really important as well, as is whether they sell real estate full-time or not. Remember, selling a house is a lot more than just putting a sign in the front yard and a couple of pictures on the MLS. Some agents don’t even do that. Get someone who will work hard for you. ■ Spending the money before you have it. Don’t! Remember, your home is not valued based on a seller’s needs, it is valued based on, well, its value in the market at the time of the sale. An appraiser won’t care that a seller need $400K for their $150K house because they have to move to a place where houses are $400K. Price aggressively based on your needs and desire to sell and be patient. Matt Freeman is a Realtor with Freeman’s Lakeside Realty 760-379-5915 or 760-223-0880.

Health Insurance Matters
The Donut Hole - 2015 Harry P. Thal Courier Columnist If you are, or know any senior on Medicare, photocopy this article and give it to them. This is the time of year when the phone rings the loudest. Thal People are calling wanting to change plans, as their cost at the pharmacy may be taking a radical jump. There are several stages to the Medicare Prescription program. People on Medicare and Medi-Cal, the dual-eligible, or on the “Extra Help” program are not subject to these rules. The first stage is called the deductible. With few exceptions, in California these are plans priced at less than $57.90 a month. The law restricts the deductible to be no more than $320 with several plans charging less. When in the deductible stage, you will pay the full negotiated cost of the drug. With several plans, the deductible will be waived for certain generic drugs. Once you have satisfy the deductible, benefits begin. The second stage is the Initial Coverage Level (ICL). Most plans will have a co-pay associated at this level. It could be a fixed dollar amount ranging from $0 or a few dollars up to $85 or more. Some plans will charge you a percentage of the negotiated rate. The measurement for this ICL is on the cost of the benefit you consume! It is the total of what you
spend, the deductible (if any) and your co-pays plus what the insurance company spends. Once the consumption reaches $2,960 in 2015 (up from $2,850 this year), you enter the Donut hole or “Coverage Gap.” When in the gap, you are responsible for most of the retail cost of the drug. As part of the ACA (ObamaCare), the pharmaceutical industry will pick up half of the cost of most brand name medications. Your Part D plan in 2015 will pick up an additional 5 percent, so your responsibility is 45 percent. You will remain in the coverage gap until you have spent $4,700. This includes the deductible (if any) you had in the first stage, the co-pays you paid out in the second stage, and what you paid in the gap. Added to this are dollars spent by the pharmaceutical company (that 50 percent) so, as pricey as that $4,700 sounds, in reality, it is about half that. However, the law restricts charges to your paying no more than 65 percent co-pay for the generic. If you are one of the population that reaches the Catastrophic level, most of your costs are borne by your insurance plan. In 2015 you can expect to pay the greater of $2.65 for generic and multi-source drugs (up $0.10 from 2014) and $6.60 (up $0.25 from 2014). Harry P. Thal, MA, is a licensed insurance broker in California (0621106) Thal is on the National Association of Health Underwriters Medicare Advisory Board. He may be reached at 760-376-2100, harrythal@aol. com or www.harrythal. com.

Advanced Reconveyance, Inc., As Trustee, 554 West Lancaster Boulevard, Lancaster, CA 93534, 661-945-5525, Vickie Durham, Trustee Sale Officer 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 the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on the notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgages, 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 661-945-5525 using the file number 14-2288. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet web site. The best way to verify the postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Published by the Kern River Courier September 19, 26 and October 3, 2014.

Legacy, Continued from page 1 a new home in 1961. Later they bought 42 acres in Wofford Heights which was developed into a trailer park and eventually split into two parks. They started Countywood water, which was the largest private water company at the time. They finally moved to Wofford Heights in 1963 and built their own home in 1973 for $22,000. Fleming's husband Paul worked since he was 12 years old, passing only recently in 2013 from Parkinson's. The couple purchased and ran a bakery, restaurant, barbershop and sporting goods store in 1974, in Wofford Heights, where the Chatterbox Café is located today. They moved the bakery to where the Whitewater Café building is now, and then built the Pizza Barn location, moved the bakery there; later starting Rustic Antiques there and on Circle Park. They had a restaurant business where Betty served football player Roman Gabriel and catered the Dean Martin movies that were being filmed in the Kern Valley. Her
grandson in law and granddaughter, Brad and Valerie Alexander now run the Pizza Barn, the former Rustic Antiques. Of all the things she did, she really hated the restaurant business. The Flemings were involved in the founding of Church on the Way, in Van Nuys, pastored by Jack Hayford, which grew from 350 to 3500 members. In 1968 they started the Foursquare Church in the movie theater in Wofford Heights and moved to what today is Faith Community. The family stayed busy with businesses and horses. They explored mines, Indian sites, and all around the Valley. Fleming was in charge of the Early California Days parade in Wofford Heights for over 10 years. She was proud of the many improvements the fund raising made at Wofford Heights Park. The book is $20 each, and is self published. Only 250 books were published in the initial printing. It is a testament of how family can be, and a peek into Kern Valley's past.

PICKS OF THE WEEK “X-Men: Days of Future Past” (PG-13) -- In a gray and smoldering future, giant androids called Sentinels are on a mission to exterminate the world’s mutants, and they’re doing a pretty good job. The remaining X-Men band together for a last-ditch effort: send Wolverine back to the 1970s to stop the Sentinel program from taking off. To do this, he has to break 1970s Magneto out of his superprison and repair the broken friendship between himself and 1970s Professor X. The action and special effects are as awesome as you’d expect from bahjillions of dollars and an experienced director in the chair. However, it’s the cast that really blows up the screen. Professor X is played by James McAvoy and becomes Patrick Stewart. Magneto is the dreamy Michael Fassbender in the 1970s, and evolves into Sir Ian McKellan when he grows up. Halle Berry, Jennifer Lawrence, Peter Dinklage and many more are left with too much talent and not enough screen time. “Mr. Peabody & Sherman” (PG) -- Not to be outdone by the XMen, a different ensemble of timetraveling buddies made their bid for the box office this summer. Mr. Peabody (Ty Burrell of TV’s “Modern Family”) is a dog/genius who takes his adopted human son,
Sherman (Max Charles), on educational trips to historical turning points in their time machine. After a dispute with a girl in Sherman’s class, the duo wind up on a timespree, encountering everyone from Agamemnon to Washington. This is one of the better adventures from Dreamworks lately, though it’s not a threat to the popularity of “How to Train Your Dragon.” The humor is rather snarky and punny -- both titular characters are known for their smarts -- but still accessible to the kiddos and always done with a trace of civility. “Whitey: United States of America v. James J. Bulger” (R) -The most notorious criminal of his time was finally brought to court in 2012, raising questions about just who was helping Whitey Bulger get away with so much for so long. Some say he was in step with the FBI, but Bulger insists he’s every kind of criminal but a snitch. This documentary examines the trial of Bulger (who was a real-life inspiration from Jack Nicholson’s character in “The Departed”), but the details revealed in interviews only raise more questions. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Fall general hunting seasons opening soon Clark Blanchard, CDFW Courier Outdoors
Bernardino County and everything in between. While California has its fair share of privately-owned land, there are vast swaths of national forest, timber lands, state wildlife areas and other lands accessible to the public that provide excellent hunting opportunities. CDFW also offers hunts on private lands through its SHARE Program and Private Lands Management Program. In addition to big game, fall upland game seasons include quail, pheasant, wild turkey and grouse. The California Fish and Game Commission also recently adopted regulations opening a year-round hunting season with no bag limit for the invasive Eurasian collared dove. California also offers coveted pronghorn antelope, elk and bighorn sheep hunts through a drawing system. Hunting for wild pigs is growing in popularity and can be done year-round.

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife would like to remind hunters that California's fall general big game hunting seasons are right around the corner. The upcoming California general deer and bear seasons are some of the most popular hunting opportunities in the state. With weather cooling off and leaves starting to turn color, autumn in California is a great time to be in the wilderness. General season opening and closing dates vary by zone and can be found by following the links below. Californians enjoy some of the widest ranges of habitat and hunting conditions in the nation. Hunters can pursue black bears in the redwood forests of Humboldt County, or mule deer in the high desert of San

Deer hunters avised to check for fire closures Drought and extremely dangerous fire conditions have combined in many areas of the state to ignite several large wildfires in many popular deer hunting areas. Some areas of public land and roads have been closed to protect public safety. Deer hunting season opens in some of these areas over the next few weeks. The U.S. Forest Service's most updated closure information can be found at inciweb.nwcg.gov/closures/. CAL FIRE's most updated closure information can be found at cdfdata.fire.ca.gov/incidents/incidents_current. King Fire closure information for deer zones D3-5 can be found at fs.usda.gov/detail/eldorado/news-events/?cid=STELPRD3817315. Hunters are urged to check these links frequently in order to obtain the most up-to-date information.
A valid California hunting license and appropriate tags for each species pursued must be obtained before entering the field. Buy a hunting license and tags online or find a CDFW license agent. California hunters are required to complete a hunter education training course, pass a comprehensive equivalency test, or provide a valid hunter's safety certificate before purchasing a hunting license for the first time in California. Each year approximately 30,000 students complete the state's hunter education course. Hunters always have the responsibility to be familiar with state game laws before entering the field. Given the exceptionally dry conditions this year, it is even more important that everyone does their part to prevent wildfires. One less spark means one less wildfire. CDFW would like to encourage Californians to get out and enjoy our state's unmatched wild places. Whether just for a day hike on the coast, or a 10day pack trip to hunt deer in the Trinity Alps, California offers some of the most diverse outdoor experiences anywhere. Be safe and have fun.
