Havilah Celebration
Michael Batelaan Kern River Courier
Jayne Hotchkiss-Price Courier Must do! All are invited to join in the upcoming frontier themed Havilah Day of celebration and fundraiser on Saturday May 21 starting at 10 a.m. Celebrate Kern County's 150th Anniversary (1866 to 2016) and the 50th Anniversary of Havilah Day. Buffalo Bill's Cowboy and Indian exhibits; a talk on buffalo, flint knapping, sharp shooting and how it done the ole' west way will just be the start. Bring a comfy chair for live entertainment. Watch out for the Tombstone
Lawdawgs who just might shoot it out on the streets of Havilah (not to worry, Roy Rogers will be there to keep the peace!) The U.S. Forest Service is comin' with demonstrations; handouts on local camping, fishing, ecology and more and they are bringing Smokey the Bear! Local grub will be handled by the FFA of the Kern River Valley; help support our community groups! Speaking of local groups, Havilah Days welcomes our community movers and shakers that make our area so great.
Keepers of the Kern; Stewards of the Sequoias; Kern River Valley Historical Society; The Exchange Club and more will be there to meet and greet and talk about the many interesting happenings in our mountains. You may even see a redshirted Clamper or two, or three, or more. Come celebrate Kern County's 150th Anniversary! Havilah was the very first County Seat for the newly established Kern County from 1866 to 1874. Support our local community groups and help raise a few bucks to keep the Havilah Court
Personnel working to keep public use areas safe Cindy Thill, USFS Courier Extra Each year, late spring through fall, local wildland firefighters are busy at what they do best, what they are trained for, wildland firefighting. During the winter months, they join in with our recreation staff, on the Kern River Ranger District, multi-tasking the myriad of projects required to keep a Ranger District safe and available for public use. This large 648,395 acre district requires a vast array of project work to keep it running smoothly. Public use, in the form of grazing, camping, roads, hiking, fishing, and water and snow activities require an almost unending amount of attention and upkeep.

It’s a
According to a letter from Belle Fluhart, written to the Havilah Historical Society in 2007, the residents of Havilah petitioned the State of California to recognize the Havilah Centennial Group on August 7, 1963 as a non-profit public benefit corporation. The petition was granted. In the spring of 1966, residents of Havilah decided to make plans for a celebration of the founding of Kern County, April 2, 1866 by having Havilah Days. Local residents Frank and Cleone Shaw donated two small lots on Main St. The Shaw's and other Havilah residents collected wood from in and around Kern River Valley and anywhere there was building lumber to be found, to build a replica of Havilah's original courthouse. The original courthouse was moved to Bakersfield to be used as a residence. The replica court and school house were officially dedicated in April 2, 1968. At one point, Havilah had 128 businesses and 900 residents. Asbury Harpending sold $800,000 worth of land on a one mile strip of Havilah, and as it turns out he did not own the land, the U.S. Government did. The original jail house was located on a hill east of the assayer's office. It was moved to Caliente about 1876. It too eventually burned. The county seat moved to Bakersfield in 1874, Havilah's mines played out and the people moved away. Two fires in the 1920's destroyed most of the town and in 1932 a huge cloudburst ruined what little was left.

Guest Editorial
ALE answers your MeasureF questions Advocates for Library Enhancement What does 1/8 of a penny buy? Measure F will be on the ballot this June and it will vastly improve the funding of our local libraries. Q: What is Measure F? A: Measure F is the measure that will bring stable and dedicated funds to the Kern County Library System, which it currently does not have. This is the first time residents will have a choice to vote for library funding. Q: Why does Kern County need Measure F? A: We are currently home to the least funded library system of its size in the entire state of California. This means that we have branches closed more often than they're open, hours that don't meet the needs of the public, out-of-date technology, and buildings in disrepair. These issues are caused exclusively by a lack of funding. Q: What would Measure F do for our libraries? A: Libraries in the 21st century have transitioned away from just a place to get books and now operate more as a hub for their communities. On any given day, you can find community groups meeting, a library hosted program for children and teens, quiet space for studying, space for creating with advanced technology (like 3D printers and laser cutters), tool borrowing programs, and so much more! Libraries with dedicated funding offer new and innovative spaces and programs for their communities. Here's a video from a library in Colorado that made the transition from the least funded in their state to an innovative groundbreaker: In Kern County, Measure F would ensure each library was open a minimum of 5 days per week, the installation of new technology, updated spaces, more programs for children and teens, and more materials of all varieties avail-
able to check out. Q: How much will Measure F cost? A: The expiration of statewide Prop 30 means Kern County can pass this measure and still pay LESS in sales taxes. Our current tax rate is 7.5%. On January 1, 2017, if Measure F passes, our sales tax rate will be 7.375%. On average, this measure will cost taxpayers $1 or less per month. Important Note: food, rent, mortgage payments, utility bills, and medicine are just a few items that are not taxable. Q: How do we know how the money is being spent? A: Measure F puts into place a Citizen's Advisory Committee. Members, one from each supervisorial district, are appointed by the sitting Board of Supervisors representative to serve 4 year terms. These are volunteer positions. They will keep a watchful eye on the way any money generated by Measure F is spent and will report to the Board and to district citizens. Q: How do we know that the money will actually go to the library? A: Funds generated by Measure F do NOT go into the county's general fund. They are specified to be placed into a separate fund that is not accessible to other county departments. If passed, this provision will be required BY LAW. There is no way to circumvent this. As this is a local measure, no federal or state officials will have access to it. Q: How long will Measure F last? A: Measure F will be in place for 8 years. The time cannot extend and the amount cannot change without voter approval. Q: What happens to the money the library already receives? A: Measure F is meant to supplement funds that the library already uses to operate. However, we do expect about $4 million to be charged to the library for services that they currently aren't responsible for. This means that there will be more money remaining in the general fund for other departments that need it, like the Sheriff's Department. Vote YES on Measure F Join the conversation: email us at advocates.library@gmail.com. visit our website kernlibraryadvocates.com or rally.org/ALEforKern.

Our two roof coolers had not been set up for summer and the only way we could cool things down, or at least make it bearable, was the old fashioned use of fans. What happened next was a massive search for working fans. I say working fans because for some unknown reason two of the fans I recovered did not work. How could this be I said to myself? The fact that the fans were at least 25 or 30 years old might have had something to do with their demise. What I ended up with was a fan for the computer room, one for the living room and one for our bedroom. So we plugged them all in crossed our fingers that we wouldn't blow a fuse and felt the cooling draft of what should have been noiseless fans. We have found out one thing, the older the fan, the noisier it is. So I W-D-40'd all three but all I did was splatter oil all over the place. Lucky for me the fans all continued to work and we both agreed that the smell of W-D-40 wasn't too bad, kind of an oily perfume. So for this one night the fans gave us minimal relief.
We appreciate our advertisers! Let them know you saw their ad in the
The next morning I called my grand-son, Josh, and asked if he could come up from Bakersfield and get my roof coolers "summerized". On the roof I have 2 Master Cool swamp coolers which work great about 90 percent of the time; we can live with the other 10 percent. Josh, bless his heart, said I'll come up today after work and he did. I should point out that swamp coolers, are called that because after awhile they kind of smell swampy. But they cool and that's the main thing. My wife has made me promise that due to my extended years I have no business climbing up a ladder and on my roof. So what I do now is supervise from ground level. With everything hooked up, Josh said to me, "Turn on the water Gramps", and I did. What happened next were geysers erupting from the copper tubing. This necessitated a trip to the hardware store to replace the tubing. But the hardware store was closed! So I called my best friend, Jim, who has everything, and had what I needed. We got it and Josh finished fixing the coolers. By this time it was dark and by flashlight he buttoned up the Master Cools and the job was done. This whole scene will be done in reverse in the fall. It's great having a grandson who can climb roofs while Gramps supervises from below. Wofford Heights resident Rod Middleworth is a retired security manager for Pacific Bell.

I read once about television's 20/20 In scripture reading today, it says, host Hugh Downs and his wife who "Once more Jesus spoke to them in attended a function in Washington D. parables, saying, 'The kingdom of C. When the time came to return to heaven may be compared to a king New York, they discovered that their who gave a wedding banquet for his flight had been canceled due to bad son.'"

Message of faith
Pentecost and rednecks Dan Schlensker, Courier Columnist Popular comedian, Jeff Foxworthy, is noted for his poking fun at rednecks. He says "If your grandmother was asked to Schlensker leave a bingo game because of her language, you may be a redneck." He adds, "You may be a redneck if you've ever hit a juke box with a pool cue." "If you come back from the dump with more stuff than you took there, you may be a redneck." "You may be a redneck if you know exactly how many bales of hay will fit into your car." Or "if your daddy walks you to school because you are in the same grade, you may be a redneck." I'm not quite sure why it's still OK - in our politically correct culture - to make fun of rednecks. But maybe it's because they make fun of themselves. Think about HeeHaw, or Mayberry, RFD, some of the longest-running comedy shows in the history of TV. Or maybe it's because we acknowledge that some of our most prominent politicians in recent decades - the likes of Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Trent Lott and Newt Gingrich (whether you like them or not) - have come from the part of our country most noted for producing rednecks. So, why am I talking about rednecks today? It's because last
Sunday (May 15) was the celebration of Pentecost. And why do we think about rednecks on Pentecost? Well, it's because Galilee - the area from which Jesus' disciples came was considered to be the cultural equivalent of redneck country in New Testament times … kind of like the LA folks often think about Bakersfield. Consider Nathaniel's response to Philip in John 1, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth (in Galilee)?" Now, although the apostles Galileans - were often recognized by their rustic, backwoods accent, as was Peter in the high priest's courtyard, as you read Acts 2, you see an amazing thing happen. These redneck hicks began to speak eloquently in a variety of languages so that the people there that day, who'd come from all over the then-known world, could understand them perfectly in their own tongues. Well, then, what implications does that have for us? We are encouraged that if God could use those backwater, uneducated, redneck hicks to so magnificently share the good news of God's love for His creatures through the sacrifice of His Son on Calvary's cross for the sins of the world, then imagine what He might be able to accomplish through folks, who are far more sophisticated, educated and technologically advanced people like us! Dan Schlensker is pastor of Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church Lake Isabella.

Finding a Nursing Home
New spring food choices from WIC
Cate Kortzeborn Courier Turning point
Cate Kortzeborn Courier Health
People go to nursing homes for different reasons. They may be sick or hurt and require ongoing nursing care. They may have had surgery and need time to recuperate. Or they may have chronic care needs or disabilities that make long-term nursing care a necessity. The first step to picking one that’s best for you or your family member in need is to learn about the available facilities in your area. You can do that in a number of ways. ■ Ask people you trust, like your family, friends, or neighbors if they've had personal experience with nursing homes. They may be able to recommend one to you. ■ Ask your doctor if he or she provides care at any local nursing homes. If so, ask your doctor which nursing homes he or she visits so you may continue to see him or her while you're in the nursing home. ■ If you're in the hospital, ask your social worker about discharge planning as early in your hospital stay as possible. The hospital's staff should be able to help you find a nursing home that meets your needs and help with your transfer when you're ready to be discharged. Medicare provides a handy way to check out local nursing homes, using our Nursing Home Compare website: Medicare.gov/nursinghomecompare. Nursing Home Compare provides a wealth of information on quality of care and staffing levels at more than 15,000 nursing homes certified for Medicare and Medicaid patients throughout the United States. One excellent feature is the star rating system. Facilities can receive from one to five stars, with five stars
being the highest rating. These star ratings give you a quick snapshot of the facility. Keep in mind that Medicare covers short-term nursing home stays following hospitalization, but generally doesn't cover long-term care stays in a nursing home. Medicare coverage of home and community-based long-term care services is very limited. Medi-Cal covers long-term nursing home stays, and may include coverage of home- and community-based services. HCBS provide opportunities for people with Medi-Cal to get services in their own home or community. These programs serve a variety of groups, including people with mental illnesses, intellectual or developmental disabilities, and/or physical disabilities. But a nursing home may not be the best option. These home services and programs may be available in your community: ■ Adult day care; ■ Adult day health care, which offers nursing and therapy; ■ Meal programs; ■ Senior centers; ■ Friendly visitor programs; ■ Help with shopping and transportation; ■ Help with legal questions, paying bills, and other financial matters. Visit eldercare.gov, or call 1-800-6771116. Or call Kern County Aging and Adult Services at 661-868-1000 or 800510-2020.

Cheesy gothic Sam Struckhoff Courier Contributor
PICKS OF THE WEEK “The Terror” (1963) - A dashing young Jack Nicholson stars in this socheesy-it's-fun gothic horror flick by the famously prolific pulp-director Roger Corman. Lt. Duvalier (Nicholson), separated from his regiment, winds up in a Big 'Ol Creepy Castle run by a slow-talking Boris Karloff. Duvalier keeps catching visions of a gorgeous dame (Sandra Knight), but she may or may not be actually alive. The digitally remastered film's original trailer describes it as a "Frankenstein's Monster of all other horror movies!" And it means that as a good thing. “Triple 9” (R) - Irina Vlasov (Kate Winslet playing a cartoonish RussianJewish mob-queen) has some kind of leverage on a surprisingly star-studded crew of tough guys (Anthony Mackie Jr., Norman Reedus, Aaron Paul, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Clifton Collins Jr.) and gives them a job that requires swiping something from Homeland Security. They plan to distract the city's police force with a code 999 -- an officer down -- and they pick Casey Affleck's good-cop character to take the bullet. Since it's a heist movie, the heist does not go according to plan and Affleck's veteran detective uncle (Woody Harrelson) joins the fray as the body count and betrayals pile up. In many ways, the movie is too dark for its own good. It's thematically dark, since there are precious few good guys and the only real good guy is pretty boring. It's also visually dark

in that gore is applied liberally in a few action scenes with mixed results. “Horse Money” (Unrated) Portugese director Pedro Costa delivers a beautiful and unsettling non-linear film centered around a man's journey through a series of dreamlike encounters. Ventura (the character and the man's real name) is a resident of Lisbon's most blighted and impoverished district. We see him wander through a hospital hallway, seemingly abandoned. He's chased by the military; he meets with strangers; he may be dead or he may be in a memory. The answers aren't so important. It's an art film that won't please most without the right amount of buy-in. Some scraps of information about Portugal's political history might help make sense of things, but that's not absolutely necessary. Isolation and alienation are universal. This movie can be seen as a continuation of what Costa started in the critically acclaimed "Colossal Youth," which also features Ventura in a non-linear story that crosses the personal with the collective. © 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Keeping the Kern River and Isabella Lake glass-free
‘Glass act’ for sensitive areas Cody Norris, USFS Courier Advisory
ed District Recreation Officer Tricia Maki. She continued, "Through our outreach, however, we did hear that this change may pose an inconvenience to some people. We are available to help anyone with concerns about the glass prohibition by offering ideas for alternative products that may be used and brought to the river and lake." The new glass ban is another way the Kern River Ranger District will continue to improve the recreation experience for visitors to our beautiful Wild and Scenic Kern River and the shorelines of Lake Isabella. "We expect this prohibition to have a positive effect on the ecosystem and the aesthetic experience of visitors; but the main goal of the glass ban is public safety-something we hold as our number one priority," said District Ranger Watson. The Forest Order with maps and specific descriptions of areas included in the glass ban can be found online at fs.usda.gov/goto/Kern_Glass_Ban, or can be found at any of the Sequoia National Forest's offices. For more information, or if you have questions about the ban, please call Tricia Maki, Kern River Recreation Officer, at 760376-3781 extension 630.
After outreaching to the public, District Ranger Al Watson (Kern River Ranger District of the Sequoia National Forest) initiated a glass prohibition for areas around Lake Isabella and the Kern River. The Forest Order defining the glass prohibition went into effect May 16. It bans glass food and beverage containers along the Upper Kern, the Lower Kern, all of Isabella Lake's shorelines (to surrounding roadways), and for a circumference of 500 feet around the Johnsondale Bridge. Along the shorelines of the Kern River and Isabella Lake, broken glass has been a hazard and an eyesore for many years. Broken glass can be tough to pick up, can be unsightly, and can cause injury to people and animals. Volunteers and recreation staff have spent considerable time carefully removing sharp glass shards from campgrounds and shorelines and sifting through fire pits for pieces of broken glass bottles. "We appreciate the incredible amount of public support for this much-needed glass prohibition," stat-

Fun in the Eastern Sierras Matt Freeman Courier Columnist On opening day of the Eastern Sierra small stream season, I recently took a quick trip up to the South Fork of the Kern River at Kennedy Meadows. Freeman My good buddy and I fished both the Kern River and Troy Meadows along with Fish Creek. The weather was beautiful up there. We actually got snowed on a bit and the water in the South Fork of the Kern is nice and high at the bridge at Kennedy Meadows, which is a welcome change from the last couple of drought years. We fished the South Fork in several spots and had no luck, although we saw some very fishy water. We were kind of moving quickly because we only had half a day to scout around. I would say to target the South Fork effectively the best thing to do would be to park at the bridge and hike down a mile or two to a series of beaver ponds downstream. The South Fork is not stocked anymore so it is a mix of native Golden and naturally producing Brown Trout. Our second stop was a lovely spot up the road at Troy Meadows. The creek there is known for its Golden Trout and beautiful surroundings. We tried a few quick spots and didn't find fish but the water conditions look great. Troy Meadows sits at about 8500 feet in elevation and access is right off the road. Striking out at Troy, we headed
back down the road a bit to Fish Creek, a last gasp stop to try to catch a fish before we had to head out. We found the trout! A few pools seemed barren and others were full of life, we caught several stunningly beautiful Golden Trout including one about 8" long, which is a decent sized fish for a small creek. The Golden Trout right now are decked out in their spring spawning colors and are beautiful, they look like a tropical fish they are so stunning. We carefully took some pictures and released what we caught and went on home. Here is the data we gathered from our little recon trip. First of all, there is quite a bit of water up there and still some snow on the ground which is great news. Secondly, it did seem like the streams and the river have less fish in them overall. Trust me it could be either possibility! There are fish there, it just seems like they will be a bit harder to find this year until they repopulate. We highly recommend practicing catch and release this year in this area due to the scarcity of the fish. Let them repopulate, there will be a future season where taking a fish or two will be ok, but for this year, please let them go free to fight another day. That being said, make a trip up there, it is exactly 1.5 hours from downtown Lake Isabella to the Kennedy Meadows General Store if you take Chimney Creek Road. It is a wonderful day trip, a beautiful drive, and a fun place to get away for a bit.

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 11/27/2007. 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: Ronnie G. Wiley, a Married Man as His Sole and Separate Property. Duly Appointed Trustee: Western Progressive, LLC. Recorded 12/04/2007 as Instrument No. 0207238296 in Book ---, Page --- of Official Records in the Office of the Recorder of Kern County California. Date of Sale: 06/03/2016 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: $378,097.86. 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: 2130 North King Street, Bakersfield, CA 93305-3067, A.P.N.: 125-301-19-00. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above.

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) 9608299 or visit this Internet Website http://www.altisource.com/MortgageServices/DefaultManagement/Tr usteeServices.laspx using the file number assigned to this case: 2015-00305-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 25, 2016.

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.

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.
