The May 4 web post from Country Living magazine posted an article entitled "30 small towns you should visit this summer. For these small towns, summer is the best (and prettiest!) time to visit," by Ann Shields. We
were especially fond of number 12: Kernville. "Kernville, California: The cool waters of the Kern River rush down from the Sierra Nevada Mountains and empty out into Lake Isabella. Highway 99, which follows the river up into the mountains, leads to the Trail of 100 Giants, an aptly
named paved loop trail through a magnificent stand of giant sequoias. The highway has lots of pullovers so you can access the swimming holes along the river. Observe posted safety signs, but find a spot to slip in and cool off. Another fun spot to visit is the Silver City ghost town, a
Scholar athletes tops Kern Valley High School Courier Release On Monday, May 2, the California Interscholastic Federation Central Section held its annual Scholar Athlete of the Year awards banquet at the Wyndham Hotel in Visalia, Ca. This yearly event honors the best and brightest female and male student athletes from every league in the section. This year's recipients from the High Desert League were Sammie Adams and
Rebecca Gallis of Kern Valley. Sammie is a three sport player in football, basketball and baseball. He carried a 4.23 GPA and has been involved in many activities around the community. Coach Ben Goffinet said, "Sammie's the epitome of what a coach wants in a player, honorable, honest, a remarkably talented competitor, who has great respect for all his opponents and the game." Rebecca, also a three
sport standout, earned 11 varsity letters in the sports of basketball, softball and volleyball, being selected team MVP 8 times. She has a 4.19 GPA and has been part of Student Government and a Life-time member of the California Scholarship Federation. Broncs Athletic Director Mike Genthner said, "Rebecca is one of the most accomplished all around student athletes to come

time they joined, Bill and Jane had not played their trombones for many years, but, after attending a concert and letting it slip out that they could play the trombone they were urged to pull their instruments out of the closet and practice a bit. After a few weeks they joined the orchestra. Jane eventually learned how to play the bass clarinet and often played both instruments (not at the same time) at concerts. In addition to all of their musical activities with the

According to urbanlegends.about.co m, the sixth day of the week and the number 13 both have foreboding reputations said to date from ancient times. It seems their inevitable conjunction from one to three times a year (there were two such occurrences in 2013, exactly 13 weeks apart) portends more misfortune than some credulous minds can bear. According to some sources it’s the most widespread superstition in the United States today. Some people refuse to go to work on Friday the 13th; some won’t eat in restaurants; many wouldn’t think of setting a wedding on the date. How many Americans, at the beginning of the 21st century, suffer from this condition? According to Dr. Donald Dossey, a psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of phobias, the figure may be as high as 21 million. If he’s right, no fewer than eight percent of Americans remain in the grips of a very old superstition. The fear of Friday the 13th stems from two separate fears -the fear of the number 13 and the fear of Fridays. Both fears have deep roots in Western culture, most notably in Christian theology, according to howstuffworks.com. Thirteen is significant to Christians because it is the number of people who were present at the Last Supper (Jesus and his 12 apostles). Judas, the apostle who betrayed Jesus, was the 13th member of the party to arrive. Christians have traditionally been wary of Fridays because Jesus was crucified on a Friday.

The other day I was walking to the Post Office to get my mail. Suddenly someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around and all I Middleworth saw was this big elephant! I said, "You're an elephant," and he said, "I certainly am." Then I said, "You are talking and that is really unusual." The elephant said, "You're the first human I've ever talked to." I asked where he was going and he said, "I'm heading for the lot next door to Charlie's Market, there we are setting up the Ding-a-ling Barroom and Bailey Circus. Today we are having a performance and we are expecting a huge Wofford Heights crowd. To answer your question, we; myself and three other elephants are advertising the event. I do have a couple of grips that now that I can talk to a human I can get settled. Have you ever noticed that an elephant has a big nose, huge ears, large feet, and big toenails but it only has this itty bitty tail shaped like a corkscrew? So to make the advertising something that catches your eye they have us walk in a line with our trunk around the itty bitty corkscrew tail of the elephant in front of us. Now think about that, how unsanitary can you get? So I'd like to have that stopped, especially when the elephant in front is gassy.
Another thing is our toenails which are huge. Each one the size of a saucer, we want a little more attention paid to them. I mean when I get an ingrown toenail it's pretty major and the valley between our toes gives Athlete's foot a bad name. One other thing, an elephant is an elephant and has been so since the beginning of time. But the ringmaster trying to be cute calls us "Pak-ederms" and nobody knows what he is talking about. So we want the ringmaster to call us by our real names, Elephants!! I will say this; we often get revenge on the ringmaster. What we do is suck up four or five gallons of water from the pail inside the ring and with the ringmaster directly in front of us we pretend to sneeze. Five gallons of water out the snout of an elephant can blow a ringmaster clear into the cheap seats. It's only a small revenge but we take what we can get. The ringmaster will often speak into our big ear and tell us that he is going to deduct this action from my 'celery'." Then I said, "You mean salary don't you?" and he said "No, I'm paid in celery and when I'm bad they deduct a stalk from my lunch." And just like that he quit talking and ambled down the street ignoring me completely. For those of you who doubt the veracity of this story I can only say, you should have been there when the Pak-e-derms marched down Wofford Heights Blvd. Wofford Heights resident Rod Middleworth is a retired security manager for Pacific Bell.

May is Emergency Preparedness Month Summer is just around the corner. The winter rains have been wonderful and brought a large growth of brush, weeds. This creates a potential fire hazard every year. We live in a beautiful mountain area. With all this beauty we enjoy, we still have a personal responsibility to prepare for an emergency. The Salvation Army, Lake Isabella, is offering FREE to residents of the Kern River Valley, the official FEMA preparedness bulletin. The information contained in this literature will provide any individual or family with helpful suggestions on what you need to have on hand in case you are caught up in a brush or forest fire, earthquake or even a worse disaster.

National Day of Prayer
Prayer in the Park, Lake Isabella was a wonderful success. There were 10 ministers from different churches in the Kern River Valley participating. The prayer event included the history and Biblical founding of America intertwined with worship songs, The Lord's Prayer, Amazing Grace and God Bless America. Forty five local citizens attended and enjoyed the event. The program included specific prayer subjects like Praying for the Peace of Jerusalem, Psalm 122:6, Pastor Bill; Americas Bedrock, Founded on God's Word, Pastor Dan Hellyer; followed with prayer for restoring our founding Biblical principles, Pastor Chris Wenzel; 2 Chronicles 7:14, Restoring America to God's intended purpose, Pastor Darren Ridings; Restoring Love, Matthew 22:37 to 49, Restoring Faith, Pastor Gerry Goodman; Romans 10:17, and Pastor Ron Barker, The Bible Pledge of Allegiance. Next the congregation was lead in prayer; Pastor Ben Richey, praying for the Federal Government President, Congress, Senate, and Supreme
Court, Evangelist Betty Jo, praying for California State Government, Governor, Legislature, Judicial, and Government offices, Pastor Ron Barker, praying for the Kern County Government, Board of Supervisors and Judicial system, finally, Pastor Darren Ridings, praying for the Kern River Valley. Music was performed by Carol Schlensker, singing "The Lord's Prayer," June Brooks sang "Oh How He Loves You and Me," and both were accompanied by Pastor Jim Lee. Pastor Candy Hellyer lead the congregation in "Amazing Grace," and the concluding song "God Bless America," was sung by Pastor Darren Ridings. All the pastors remind you to pray for our nation. The prayer event will continue on the first Thursday of each month leading up to the election and include Monday, October 31, the day before voting day. Concerned Christians and others who feel prayer will make a difference are invited to "A Rally to Pray in the Park." Interested individuals, families and churches may gather at noon each of these Thursdays and pray. These are informal gatherings for concerned citizens.

Son-bathing Dan Schlensker, Courier Columnist That time of year and that type of weather are upon us, which make sunshine very noticeable. When the air temperature is cool Schlensker to the point of discomfort - it seems to make a considerable difference whether you are standing in the sun or not. Last week we visited Las Vegas, and the mornings were pretty cool, but sun bathing by the pool at our hotel was still very comfortable, even delightful, for the sun provided the radiant energy we needed to bring that soothing warmth to our chilly bodies. When the high sun season returns, it'll be hot whether you are in the sun or not! And then we might not be quite so appreciative of the sun and its warmth as we are now. As we bask in the afterglow of Easter, having been standing in the brilliance of Jesus' resurrection glory, we recognize the importance of being in the Son-shine. (That is, in the grace of the Son of God.) To be out of it leaves us in the cold. God's Old Testament people were prone to disobedience and rebelliousness, and He as their holy and just God could not tolerate their behavior. Yet through the prophet Hosea, in response to their actions, this grieved God says, "My heart is turned over within Me, All My com-
passions are kindled." The fire of His love was still radiating toward His people to warm and soften their hearts. And that love burst forth totally when God sent His Son, Jesus, from heaven to enter humanity through the virgin Mary, to live the perfect, God-pleasing life all people ought to have lived, to suffer rejection, abuse and torture, and to be unjustly executed … all to pay the eternally damning penalty price for the sins of the world. That means that all, who believe in Him, who trust in Him for the forgiveness of their sins and receive His righteousness, live in His light and enjoy Son-bathing in the radiance of His unfathomable love. Now this Son-bathing is more literal than sunbathing, because it actually cleans us and washes away our sin. The apostle John says in his first letter, chapter 1, "if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin." So what about getting burned by the sun? Is there any danger of Sonburn? There certainly is … but not from Son-bathing. When Jesus returns as Judge, those, who are not believing in Him will be burned by Him, thrown into the "lake of fire" described in Revelation 19-20. But those who do trust in Him, whose "names are written in the book of life" will bask in His glorious, loving, radiance forever. Dan Schlensker is pastor of Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church Lake Isabella.

Health Insurance Matters
It's not covered Harry P. Thal Courier Columnist When I discuss Medicare Supplements, and in particular, the Plan F, I instruct people that "as long as it is approved by Thal Medicare, it is paid in full." This is a true statement, but there are shades of gray here, and I wouldn't want anyone to get the wrong impression. The same holds true for those enrolled in an HMO plan, even though there may be some co-pays involved in Cataract Surgery. Cataracts is a condition that while can hit younger people, it most often affects the older people who have been using their eyes the longest. Over time, a film develops on the lens of the eye, and this film can get denser and denser. When it gets to a certain level, it is often referred to as "ripe". This means that the vision is impeded enough to make surgery justified. The procedure involves removing the natural lens and replacing it with a clear artificial lens. The replacement lens is a fixed focus (monofocal) lens; I assume made out of some sort of plastic. It can be designed for close-up work like reading, or for the distance. Most people tend to opt for distance. Reading glasses or bifocals were then required for intermediate and near focusing. One technique I have heard of is if two eyes are both ion need of surgery, some ophthalmologists will have one
eye to focus near, and another far. The brain gets used to this and it works well for many. Medicare and most private insurance covers this. Medicare even provides one basic pair of glasses with standard frame (one pair per lifetime). Here comes the confusion. Now available are multifocal intraocular lenses, or IOL, which work for all distances making vision as close as possible to the natural vision we are used to. These types of lenses, which are able to connect to the muscles of the eye are called presbyopia-correcting IOL but are not considered "medically necessary" and therefore not covered by Medicare and most health insurance plans. As they are not covered by insurance, the eye surgeon offers them to the patient as an "upcharge". The cost typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,500. This would be cash out of pocket to the patient. So, as you can see, while insurance covers the procedure, there can be out of pocket expenses above and beyond the scope of insurance. If a client mentions that they are nearing a need, I advise them. As there are many exceptions to "it covers everything Medicare approves" it is a challenge to provide full disclosure. This is one reason why I always advise my clients to call me if they have questions. Sometimes I can enlighten them to lessen the sticker shock. Harry P. Thal, MA, is a licensed insurance broker in California (0621106), on the National Association of Health Underwriters Medicare Advisory Board. He may be reached at 760-376-2100, or online at harrythal@aol.com or harrythal.com.

Fashion-based conspiracy Sam Struckhoff Will Ferrell in "Zoolander 2"
Courier Contributor
PICKS OF THE WEEK “Zoolander 2” (R) - Fifteen years after foiling an assassination, the world's most vapid supermodel, Derek Zoolander (writer/director/star Ben Stiller), is conjured from his selfimposed exile in New Jersey to foil a new fashion-based conspiracy. Returning with him are his frenemy Hansel (Owen Wilson) and manic villain Mugatu (Will Ferrell). The film has far too many cameos to count, and most of them fall flat. It seems like everyone on-screen is having more fun than anyone watching ever could. “The Finest Hours” (PG-13) When their oil tanker is ripped in half by raging waves off Cape Cod, the crew of the SS Pembleton has only a few hours left before what remains of their vessel sinks. Chief engineer Ray Sybert (Casey Affleck) has to improvise to keep the half-boat afloat, while rallying a crew growing more desperate by the moment. The Coast Guard already has its hands full, leaving the near-suicidal rescue mission up to Bernie Webber (Chris Pine) and a couple of other volunteers in a tiny boat pointed straight toward 70-foot waves. It's a based-on-a-true story produced by Disney, detailing an incredible 1952 rescue mission. The movie follows the conventions typical of disaster-rescue movies, but does so with excellent pacing and deployment of CG effects. The characters don't show a huge range of emotion, but
the leads (including Webber's sweetheart, played by Holliday Grainger) still manage to show some depth of feeling in their lines and looks. “Risen” (PG-13) - This rather gritty faith-based film tells the story of the execution and resurrection of Jesus (he's called Yeshua here) from the perspective of a cynical centurion trying to lay down the law. Joseph Fiennes stars as Clavius, a Roman soldier tasked by Pontius Pilate (Peter Firth) with keeping Christ's body locked up, and then relocating it when it disappears. Clavius and his sidekick Lucius (Tom Felton) have to Sherlock their way through Judea, interrogating witnesses, including Mary Magdalene (Maria Botto). Clavius eventually finds the body, but not in the way he expected. The movie works by giving us a hero with actual layers, well-handled by Fiennes. Clavius is jaded and weary, but still intense and committed to fulfilling his duty. More than just a sequence of sermons, there is actual excitement and character development attending the story's intended conclusion. © 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Nose knows A California Black Bear can consume up to 20,000 calories a day. Photo submitted
Tips you should follow:
Bears follow their noses Carol Singleton, CDFW Courier Outdoor With an estimated 35,000 bears, California has a healthy and growing black bear population. In spring hibernating bears emerge from their winter slumber and begin an almost perpetual search for food. It is not uncommon for a black bear to consume up to 20,000 calories a day. Unfortunately, this search can sometimes lead bears into populated areas and conflicts with humans. "A bear's nose is seven times better than a hound dog's, and it will lead a bear to anything that is edible or smelly," said Marc Kenyon, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's (CDFW) human-wildlife conflict expert. "Bears can smell meat drippings on your barbecue, dog food on your porch and candy in your sleeping bag. So if you live near or visit bear habitat, for your safety and the well-being of the bear, always keep your food and trash properly secured." In order to keep bears in the wild and people safe, CDFW provides the following Bear Aware tips for people living in or visiting bear country: For residents: ■ Purchase and properly use a bearproof garbage container. ■ Wait to put trash out until the morning of collection day. ■ Don't leave trash, groceries or animal feed in your car. ■ Keep garbage cans clean and deodorize them with bleach or ammonia. ■ Keep barbecue grills clean and stored in a garage or shed when not in use. ■ Avoid using birdfeeders.
■ Don't leave any scented products outside, including non-food items like suntan lotion and candles. ■ Keep doors and windows closed and locked. ■ Consider installing motion-detector alarms and/or electric fencing. ■ Keep livestock in secure enclosures. ■ Harvest fruit off trees as soon as it is ripe, and promptly collect fruit that falls. ■ Securely block access to potential hibernation sites such as crawl spaces under decks and buildings. For campers and hikers: ■ Use bear-proof trash cans whenever possible or store your garbage in a secure location with your food. ■ Store anything smelly including food, pet food and toiletries in bearproof containers or in an airtight container in the trunk of your vehicle. ■ Clean dishes and store food and garbage immediately after meals. ■ Clean your barbecue grill after each use. ■ Never keep food, toiletries or anything with a scent in your tent. ■ Never intentionally feed bears in order to attract them for viewing. ■ When hiking make noise to prevent surprising a bear. Clap, sing or talk loudly. ■ Travel in a group if possible. ■ Pay attention to the surroundings and watch for bear signs, such as tracks or claw or bite marks on trees. ■ Keep dogs on a leash. ■ If you see a bear, do not approach it. Make sure it has an escape route. ■ If you encounter a bear in the wild, back away slowly. Do not run. Raise your arms to look larger and speak in a calm, loud voice. Do not turn your back.

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.

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/DefaultManagement/TrusteeServices.laspx using the file number assigned to this case: 2015-03584-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: April 27, 2016.
