Shrinking your household’s carbon footprint

Bethany Wieman Demand Media Courier Planet

We’ve all heard the mantra, “Reduce, reuse and recycle.” You may wonder how to incorporate these principles into your daily life. It’s not as complicated as you may think -- the “three Rs” all complement each other and together a system that can shrink your carbon footprint.

The most essential way to reduce waste is to avoid creating it in the first place. Unfortunately, current consumer behavior is trending in the wrong direction. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, each person created 2.7 pounds of waste each day in 1960. To d a y that number is 4.3

Reuse

pounds. Some companies, however, are getting more efficient with their product packaging to save resources. Plastic 2liter soft drink bottles are one example. Manufacturers have reduced the weight of the plastic used in these bottles by 0.6 ounces over the last 30 years. While this may seem insignificant, it keeps 250 million pounds

of plastic from becoming part of the waste stream. Likewise, consumers can reduce simply by cutting back. Cutting back on water and energy use at home is a good place to start. When making a purchase, look for durable products that will last a long time, rather than something that might need to be replaced quickly.

Investing in items that can be repurposed

Reuse refers to several things. It can mean investing in items that can be reused --- for example, using cloth tote bags when you shop instead of asking for plastic bags, or

buying reusable food containers, such as a thermal coffee mug or a reusable water bottle. It also means looking for ways to repurpose discarded items, especially

Recycle

those that cannot be recycled and will end up in a landfill. Consider repairing an item rather than throwing it out. If upgrading an appliance or gadget, see if you can donate

the old one to someone who can use it. If a product has served its purpose, look for alternative uses. For example, used jars can be used to store odds and ends.

Recycling keeps objects that might be considered waste turned back into raw materials that can be used in the manufacture of other items. Recycling consists of three basic steps. The first step is collection and processing. Some communities handle this using curbside recycling, while here in the Kern Valley central drop-off facilities are used. The recyclables are lodging

then sorted, cleaned and turned into marketable raw materials -- for example, paper is turned into pulp and plastics are melted down. Step two consists of manufacturing the recycled materials into new products. Step three occurs when consumers purchase recycled products. As a consumer, you can participate by properly recycling as much waste as possible, and by inquir-

Things I have noticed...

Change

March traffic statistics

Rod Middleworth Courier Columnist

Scott Griswold, California Highway Patrol

Sometimes when I can’t sleep, I think back to earlier years and changes that have happened. Some of them are good and some aren’t, Middleworth but the operative word, is “change.” Let me give you a few examples of the changes I’ve noticed. For instance, one evening in 1955, I was next door at my neighbor’s house, sitting in their living room watching the Texaco Star Theater on a five-inch black and white television screen. We were awed that we could see a picture beamed to the TV antenna sitting on the coffee table. Last night, I watched an auto race in color, beamed from Bristol, Tennessee shown on a 60-inch high definition wide screen television set. The biggest change is from 1 channel in 1955 to 130 channels in 2015. Here are some other examples: In years past, food was kept in a box with ice delivered to our door. Today we have a 14 cubic foot refrigerator freezer operated by electricity and always cold. If you like coffee, in the old days you used a percolator or boiled coffee in a pan on top of the stove. Today we can brew individual cups of several different brews all done on a small electric coffee maker called a Keurig. Speaking of food, dinner by

Safety tip of the month: Remember when it is raining to always turn on your vehicle’s headlights. This increases other motorists’ ability to see you, and in addition, it’s the law. You may be cited if you don’t have your vehicle’s headlights illuminated when it is raining.

mom was always a major production and my brother and I had to wash the dishes afterwards. Today we can yank a complete TV dinner from the freezer and I don’t have dishes to wash. Instead of a wood stove, we now have an electric or gas stove, and a microwave that cooks a meal in 90 seconds. When I was in the Navy, my duty station was aboard a fleet type submarine. It had limited power to stay underwater very long and was not very fast. Today the submarines are nuclear powered and able to stay underwater for months at a time and they are extremely fast. As a boy offive, we camped using a tent. Today when I camp, I have a 26-foot trailer complete with shower, refrigerator, heater, air conditioner, generator and all the comforts of home away from home. It’s a really tough life. Music which used to be played on a vinyl record with one song to a side is now played on a CD, a small plastic disc which holds 25 songs or more. In 1943 gas was rationed and a gallon cost 17 cents. Today that gallon costs over $3 and can be bought almost anywhere. Not everything changes. For instance when I was five, I was often awakened by a rooster in our neighbor’s chicken yard. Yesterday I was awakened at 6 a.m. by the crow of some nearby rooster. Yep, I noticed too, that some things stay the same.

Volunteer(s) of the Quarter: The Kern Valley Team During the first quarter of 2015, the number of patients under care of Optimal Hospice in Kern Valley rose to an all time high. With the combination of Hoffmann Hospice pulling out of the area, and the excellent customer service and support given by our Lake Isabella team, Optimal has grown by leaps and bounds. It is a wonderful thing that Optimal is caring for more hospice families, but it has created a need for the Kern Valley volunteers to take on a lot more responsibility. This quarter, Optimal decided to honor every member of this very small, very capable, very compassionate volunteer team because each of them have taken on double, even triple their usual assignment load, without complaint, to help cover all the volunteer needs for our patients. Optimal wants to thank the following Optimal Hospice volunteers. Thank you to Shirley Real, Connie Shepard, JoAnne Fitting, Janet Rowlett, Linda Elam, Billie Woods and Frank and Marilyn Saso for continuing to support Optimal Hospice.

The incarnation of adorable Sam Struckhoff Courier Contributor

PICKS OF THE WEEK “Paddington” (PG) -- Alone in London, wandering about with a big floppy hat and raincoat over his fuzzy fur, a talking bear fails to grab much attention, even though he’s the incarnation of everything adorable. The bear is taken in by the Brown family, who name him Paddington after the station where they found him. Stern-but-loving dad (Hugh Bonneville) and open-hearted mom (Sally Hawkins) give Paddington a temporary home while finding him permanent residence and avoiding a conniving taxidermist (Nicole Kidman). Those who have read the books -- or had the books read to them -- will be relieved to find that this actually is a decent, charming movie. It’s not stupid, it has great visual style, tons of puns and a love for the character. “The Wedding Ringer” (R) -- An awkward, sweaty, fidgety guy, Doug (Josh Gad), is about to marry way out of his league (Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting), but he’s got no best man, and no groomsmen at all to match his bride’s side. In comes Jimmy (Kevin Hart), who sells best-man services. For the right price, he’ll be your best man, the life of the party, and make you look good. Hart and Gad are both real comedic talents, feeding into

Paddington characters, each within their comfort zones -- but the chemistry isn’t happening. You’ll laugh, certainly, but this isn’t the new must-see wedding-related guy comedy. “The Gambler” (R) -- An English professor and hardcore gambler, Jim Bennett (Mark Wahlberg), is an expert at putting it all on the line. Jim is in trouble with Bank of Mom (Jessica Lange) after he runs up huge debts with the boss (Alvin Ing) of the local gambling den. Not getting the message, Jim takes a huge loan from the kind of guy you don’t borrow money from (Michael K. Williams), and then wades deeper into the gambling underworld. As a remake of the James Caan original from the ’70s, Wahlberg’s turn just doesn’t match up in style. He commits to his macho man on a mission, but what’s the mission? There’s not much substance in his selfdestruction. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Health Insurance Matters

Doc Fix Harry P. Thal Courier Columnist There has been a Medicare problem for many years. In 1997 Congress passed the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 which contained the Sustainable Growth Thal Rate formula for payment to doctors for Medicare patients. This payment scheme was thought to keep the lid on Medicare spending and initially worked, but it did not consider the rising cost of medical services and the fluctuations in the economy. It was based on the idea that the economy would continue to grow each year. Beginning in 2002, Congress has come up with “band-aid” fixes each year to maintain the fee schedule for physicians and has failed over the past 12 years to fix the problem, while spending more than $150 billion in crafting makeshift provisions. There have been 17 “fixes” enacted since 2003 to keep physicians paid. Without a permanent fix to the problem, physicians will see a 22 percent cut in their Medicare reimbursements. How many physicians would stay in the program if they were to have their incomes so drastically cut? The House of Representatives, in a truly bi-partisan vote of 392-37 created a bill that will permanently remove the SGR. The bill went to the Senate, who has tabled it until Congress returns. There are concerns with the bill which will be facing the Senate.

Where is the money to come from? It appears that in its current form, the bill will cost $210 billion over the next 10 years. About a third of this will come from wealthier Medicare beneficiaries who pay more for their coverage. There will also be cuts to hospitals. The liberal Democrats will be appeased by extending for another two years the CHIP program, which services low income children as well as programs that subsidizes ambulance systems. The plan will also keep community clinics open and provide additional revenue for rural hospitals. At issueare other programs that have ridden on the coat tails of the doc-fix bill over the past decade. Is there enough pressure to bring a permanent fix to the CHIP and other programs? There is a good chance that Congress may overlook these programs when the current law sunsets for them in 2017. There is great pressure on the Senate to add language to fix this now, and force a compromise bill between the two Houses. Other areas of concern are that there is talk to change the structure of Medicare. This might greatly affect people joining the Medicare program beginning in 2020. Medicare supplement plans may not be legally allowed to cover all expenses, requiring beneficiaries to have greater out of pocket expenses. I’ll keep you posted. Harry P.

In order to ensure a camping spot, advance reservations are recommended through the National Recreation Reservation Service (NRRS) phone: 1-877-444-6777 or on the World Wide Web at recreation.gov. The following campgrounds on the Western Divide Ranger District have sites reservable as of May 22: Coy Flat, Belknap, Quaking Aspen, Redwood Meadow, Holey Meadow, Long Meadow Group Camp, White River and Wishon (open year-round). ■ Lower Peppermint, a developed campground along the Lloyd Meadow Road and Leavis Flat Campground, located near California Hot Springs, are expected to be open in time for holiday visitors, first-come first-served. Dispersed camping is available any-

where on the National Forest unless otherwise posted. Upper Peppermint is a popular site for dispersed camping, and is currently open with no services. Visitors are expected to “pack it in, pack it out” when dispersed camping and are limited to 14 nights. ■ The North Road (21S50) and Lloyd Meadow Roads (22S82) are both open, providing backpackers access to the Golden Trout Wilderness from Lewis Camp or Jerky Meadow Trailheads. Other Forest Roads on the District will be open when they have dried out enough to prevent resource damage from tires. After last week’s storm, visitors should expect snow covered trails at the higher elevations. ■ With continued dry weather, campfire restrictions will be in effect early this summer. Plan your trip accordingly by picking up a campfire permit, free of charge, at any Forest Service, CALFIRE, or Bureau of Land Management office or by visiting the Sequoia National Forest website and downloading a copy of the permit at fs.fed.us/r5/sequoia.

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: Timothy D. Austin, A Married Man as His Sole and Separate Property. Duly Appointed Trustee: Western Progressive, LLC. Recorded 03/20/2006 as Instrument No. 0206065128 in Book ---, Page --- and of Official Records in the Office of the Recorder of Kern County California. Date of Sale: 05/04/2015 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: $274,407.78. 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: TS: 201407121-CA. More fully described in said Deed of Trust. Street Address or other common designation of real property: 223-225 Monterey Street, Bakersfield, CA 93305, A.P.N.: 014180-04-00. 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 $274,407.78. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 (866) 960-8299 or visit this Internet Website http://www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/Defaul tManagement/TrusteeServices.laspx using the file number assigned to this case: 2014-07121-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. Date: March 26, 2015. Western Progressive, LLC, as Trustee, c/o 30 Corporate Park, Suite 450, Irvine, CA 92606.

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: TS: 2014-02735-CA. More fully described in said Deed of Trust. Street Address or other common designation of real property: 3711 Rio Viejo Drive, Bakersfield, CA 93313, A.P.N.: 515-291-21-00. 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 $263,172.71. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 (866) 960-8299 or visit this Internet Website http://www.altisource.com/ MortgageServices/DefaultManageme nt/TrusteeServices.laspx using the file number assigned to this case: 201402735-CA.
