More than run of the mill R-Ranch of the Sequoias was once a company logging town north of the Kern Valley will be the site of a reunion for those who lived, worked and grew up as children there.
Howard Jarvis Association Courier Release
Michael Batelaan Kern River Courier
Millions of Californians believe our state and country are moving seriously in the wrong direction. Howard Jarvis used to say if we are being badly served by politicians, it is our fault. We voted them in and we can vote them out, he would remind voters.
Michael Batelaan Courier Memories This weekend 250 invited guests, old-timers and extended family will converge on the old logging town of Johnsondale for a private reunion. They are the ones that worked, lived and the children who went to school in what was once a thriving logging community. R-Ranch owners will also attend. They will be joining together for a pancake breakfast, story-telling, games, afternoon meal, music and evening dance and more story-telling. It is all designed "so people can visit" said event coordinator Al Mitchell who now lives over the hill in Inyokern. The sawmill was erected in 1935. In addition to building a mill, homes, dormitories, a commis-
Election Day Tuesday June 3 Some may not believe their individual vote is important, but by working in concert with other voters, we will make the difference between a future of debt and desperation and one of prosperity and opportunity. Be ready. Important elections are coming up in June and November and it is important to be ready. The first step is to make sure your family members, friends, neighbors and colleagues are registered to vote. Registration information can be obtained from your county registrar of voters or you may register online at the California Secretary of State’s website. Remember, voting by mail begins nearly a month before Election Day. The time to get started is now. “Only the knowledge that the people care will keep the politicians honest.” Howard Jarvis people

sary and a cook house for the employees of Mt. Whitney Lumber Co. and a school for their children were built. The private company town was named after the chief planner, Walter S. Johnson. John McNally, whom most of us know as the founder of McNally's Restaurant in Fairview, was a logging truck driver for the Mt. Whitney Lumber Co. Wages were $1.60 per hour, and when the mill closed in 1979 they were around $11 an hour. Not only did the mill change through the years, but Johnsondale itself changed from being a "tent city" to a town where over 100 houses were maintained. In 1960, there were 467 people living there, and in its peak in the early 70s, the population rose to between 600 and 700 people when about
125 people were employed on two shifts. The cabins in which owners now stay at RRanch were the homes for the employees of the saw mill who rented them from the Company. Each house had front and back yards with lawns, flowers and white picket fences. Single loggers lived in small bunkhouses. The Ranch Museum building was once part of a bunkhouse. There were no cooking facilities so they ate in the dining room. The current store is housed in the same building as the original store. Dances were held with local residents playing Western music for dancing. Other activities included Boy Scouts, card parties, loggers' union meetings, business meetings, roller skating and ping pong. The Dance Hall also
housed the town library and served as a theater. Box socials were a popular activity at one time. John McNally would put on a rodeo each year in the current horse arena. The saw mill operated continuously for 41 years, but at 4 p.m. on March 23, 1979 the mill shut down. It was determined that there was no longer enoughlumber in the surrounding area in enough quantity to justify the mill. Mitchell lived and worked at R-Ranch. He started working there at 16 years old, working the night shift while attending school during the day. He operated yard equipment, moving materials and lumber. "We are always meeting people along the way that are from our Johnsondale past, but are still new to us," he said.

Things I have noticed...
Traffic & Safety STOP April in review Kern Valley traffic statistics Benjamin Starkey, California Highway Patrol Traffic Collisions - 15 DUI Arrests - 3 DUI Collisions - 1 Suspended/Unlicensed Drivers Arrested - 24 Safety Tip: Seatbelts save lives. Almost every person has an experience where seatbelts have saved them or someone close to them. Law enforcement officers in the Kern River Valley are trying to promote safe driving. The only safe way to drive is with a seatbelt. Help keep yourselves and your loved ones safe by always wearing your seatbelt and help others do the same. Summertime has arrived in the Kern River Valley and we will be seeing an influx of visitors to our valley. Law enforcement will be watching for vehicles that do not use the turnouts in the canyon and on other two lane highways and is asking all drivers in the Kern Valley area to be attentive to those who are driving on the roads with us. Visitors do not know their way around our area and will more than likely be driving at slower speeds. Please be patient with other drivers and obey the traffic laws.

Upper Kern improvement recieves ‘B’ grade We just want you to know that with the changes the Forest Service has made on the Upper River, the extra facilities provided, the help of our great volunteers and supporters, and the word getting out -- it is working! We were thrilled with the assessment and clean up we held today. So much less “stuff” being left and those using the river were actually taking their “stuff” to the dumpsters, using the portables more and taking some responsibility and showing respect. Yes, this is only the first weekend of the big test, but we feel it receives a “B.” Thank you for helping to get the word out. There is still much to do, but with support from folks like you, it will get done and continue to be done. One person can make a difference, together we can make it right. Thanks so much, Rex and Barb Hinkey Keepers of the Kern
Lost keys Rod Middleworth Courier Columnist
I don’t know about the rest of you out there in Kern Valley-Land, but I have a major problem with keys. I forget where I put them and it Middleworth causes no small amount of consternation trying to figure out where they are. It isn’t just because I am getting older and am touched by old timer’s disease. It’s something that’s followed me all my life. I was able, I thought, to keep these lapses of “keys” memory from my family. But when my son in the 5th grade made me a board to hang my keys, and the logo on the board (shaped like a key) read, “A place to hang keys I haven’t lost yet,” it was apparent that the whole family was aware of my shortcoming. The keys that get lost the most seem to be the car keys. We have three vehicles and each one has four keys. Two for me and two for my wife. That’s 12 keys, plus we have an extra set that we keep on the keyboard just in case. So you would think that when I lose my keys (always around home) that I could easily grab another set. And that would work if I didn’t have other keys on the ring besides the car keys. So, in essence, when I lose the car keys, I also lose the house key, the garage key, the shop key and others. So my search isn’t just for the car, it’s for other keyed places too. The keys should be on the key board, if I’ve
done it right, or on the hall hangers, which I use a lot. Or the keys could be in a pocket of my pants I threw in the hamper. Or maybe they’re behind the cushion of the couch where they fell out of my pocket while I was watching TV. Or they might be in my workshop where I put them while I was unloading tools and stuff. The search starts slowly, but as time passes, and the search becomes more critical, I have to call my wife in on the quest. This is a last resort, but should be the first, because she usually finds them and it’s usually in some place I’ve already looked. This goes on all the time and by now she can tell by the panicked look on my face that my keys are missing and she will say: “Whassa matter, did you lose your keys again?" And of course, I have. I really try to use my key board and I am getting better. But I realized my affliction has manifested itself in other things. For instance, when we were packing to go on a recent fishing trip, I couldn’t find my fishing license. I looked everywhere and so did my wife. No license. So I figured no fishing on the trip. About 3 a.m. my wife woke me and said, “I know where your license is.” “Where?” I asked. “In your float tube,” she replied. “I dreamt it was there.” Well it was. The fishing trip was saved. Now that my affliction is spreading, what other things will I start to lose? And what time in the morning can I expect to be awakened with their location? This is not good. Wofford Heights resident Rod Middleworth is a retired security manager for Pacific Bell.
Congratulations and Good Luck

Gallop, crawl, slither, or fly to the library The Kern County Library launches its PAWS to Read! Summer Reading Program on Monday, June 2. During the next two months, your local libraries will host a range of free activities for children, teens and adults that encourage and support a love of reading. Participants also can win prizes for reaching their reading goals. The Kern River Valley Branch in Lake Isabella will kick things off with a carnival on Saturday, June 7 beginning at 2 p.m. This event will include themed games, crafts and face painting. It will be lots of fun for the entire family. The summer will also include magician Christopher Lopez on Thursday, June 12 and E&M Reptiles on Saturday, July 19. With lots of great events this summer, the library is the place to go to beat the summer heat. A full schedule of program events for each local branch can be found on the website at kerncountylibrary.org, visiting us on our Facebook page at KRVLibraries or stopping in at any local branch. While the libraries plan to have loads of fun this summer, there is also a serious side to summer reading. Research has shown that reading over the summer prevents reading loss. Studies also indicate students who read recreationally outperformed those who didn’t. Students read more when they can choose materials based on their own interests.

Message of faith
Normal Dan Schlensker, Courier Columnist Most folks like to be considered normal. Not too many people like to be thought of as some sort of freak or in any way weird. Plenty of people Schlensker want to be viewed as outstanding in some way or well above average on some scale - to be recognized as extraordinary through their accomplishments, looks, skills or intellect. In that sense, abnormal is OK, even desirable. However, if the difference is in some way considered to be negative, abnormal is seen to be bad. Such is the case with people with disabilities. Consequently, when seen by the general public to be abnormal in some negative sense they are often looked down upon, shunned or ostracized. A common reaction to people with disabilities, then, is that they are pitied, judged, or categorized as sub-human. But how does the person with a disability feel about normal? If that person has acquired his or her disability after having lived on earth for some years, they might think of themselves as no longer normal. However, a person, who was born with a condition like Down’s Syndrome or Autism or some other so-called “defect” has never experi-
enced anything else. Thus, as far as they are concerned, their situation is normal, and they are perfectly happy and content with their lot in life as long as their common human needs are met. There are many such individuals at places like Bethesda Lutheran Homes and other Christian special care facilities, where their common human needs are met and they enjoy relationships with other people, various kinds of vocational productivity, giving praise to God in a worshiping community and being valued as a person and as a child of God. And those disabled folks are viewed as people not so much to be ministered to, but rather people, who are to be in ministry with. When we look closely at ourselves, we each can notice ways in which we are different, abnormal. There is one condition, however, which is normal to every human being on earth and unites us all, and that is our fallen, sinful nature as descendants of Adam and Eve, who rebelled and disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden. That common problem, in which we all share, is remedied only by Jesus’ death on the cross and His glorious resurrection from the dead, so faith in Him brings to all of us humans, who are disabled in some way, forgiveness of our sin, new life and hope. Dan Schlensker is pastor of Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church in Lake Isabella.

2014 free fishing days are July 5, Sept. 6 CDFW Courier Outdoors Have you ever felt the excitement of watching your bobber suddenly jiggle, then dive out of sight? Or feeling the tap-tap-tap of a bass as it tastes the worm on the end of your line? Or having a salmon practically tear the rod out of your hands as it smashes your lure? What’s that? You say you never learned to fish? If you are new to the sport of fishing, and not sure if you will enjoy it, a great opportunity awaits you. The California Department of Fish & Wildlife offers two free fishing days each year. On these days, you can fish without a sport fishing license. Free fishing days provide a great, low-cost way to give fishing a try. Free fishing day clinics are designed to educate novice anglers about fishing ethics, fish habits, effective methods for catching fish, and fishing tackle. You can even learn how to clean and prepare your catch so you can enjoy it for dinner that night. All fishing regulations, such as bag and size limits, gear restrictions, report card requirements, fishing hours and stream closures remain in effect, however.

Up-close look at bitter conflict Sam Struckhoff Leem Lubany, Adam Bakri in “Omar”
Courier Contributor
Pick of the Week “Omar” (NR) — A young baker named Omar (Adam Bakri) lives in an impoverished Palistinian village, where he’s in contact with people plotting to kill Israeli soldiers. Whenever Omar climbs the security wall to the other side, he’s doing it to visit his pals and his gorgeous girlfriend (Leem Lubany). One night, however, Omar is taken into custody, tortured and turned out as a double-agent against the militants from his village. The movie follows Omar’s ambiguous arc -- is he really going to turn on the people he once supported, or is he realizing something else about the conflict? The film gives no answers, but offers an up-close human look at a bitter conflict that stretches across generations. “Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit” (PG-13) — When Russian corporate overlords threaten the world’s economy, it’s up to one untrained CIA desk worker to stop them (for some reason, maybe the rest of the CIA is busy.) Our hero is Jack Ryan (Chris Pines), protagonist of many a spy novel by Tom Clancy. Ryan starts working for the less-dangerous wing of the CIA, but somehow gets shifted into fieldwork, starting his clandestine adventure dodging assassins in Moscow. While the plot has more holes than the back wall of a shooting
range, “Shadow Recruit” keeps things moving so fast that you can’t admire its true flimsiness. Director Kenneth Branagh -- also starring as the villain -- doesn’t try to reinvent the global espionage thriller, but he doesn’t take many risks with it, either. “Non-Stop” (PG-13) — On a crowded flight from New York to London, Air Marshall Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) receives text messages threatening that a passenger will be killed every 20 minutes until ransom money is wired into an offshore account. Don’t fret too much about the logistics of telecommunication on a plane, or how people can disappear in such close quarters -- it all just adds to the tension. Much of the vehicle is pieced together from pieces of other airplane disaster flicks. The real engine pushing this ride is Neeson’s tightfisted commitment to his troubled action-hero role. This isn’t just “Taken” set in the sky, however. “Non-Stop” is worth standing in line for. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct.22) Trying to cheer up a depressed friend or downcast family member can be difficult. But keep at it, and your efforts should soon pay off in ways you might have never expected. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Taking a new look at an old and frequently recurring problem might lead you to consider making some surprising changes in the way you had been handling it up till now. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Despite what the naysayers might say, setting your sights on a new goal could be one of the smartest things the typically sagacious Sagittarian has done in a long time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Rebuilding an unraveling relationship won’t be easy. But you can do it, if you really want to. Just remember to keep the lines of communication open between the two of you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A new friendship could develop into a close relationship. Meanwhile, reassure an old friend who might be feeling neglected that he or she is still an important part of your life. PISCES (Feb. 19 to Mar. 20) You might be feeling that you’re still in over your head as you continue trying to adjust to your new situation. But the pressures ease by week’s end, giving you time to come up for air.

ARIES (Mar. 21 to Apr. 19) Try using that Aries charm to warm up the usual set of workplace naysayers, and then back it up with a solid block of facts and figures to sell your idea to your colleagues. TAURUS (Apr. 20 to May 20) While nothing can deter a determined Bovine from following a course you believe in, it helps to have some supporting data and statements by trusted colleagues to make your case. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Take advantage of new information that could help make your career transition easier. The weekend is a good time to re-establish relationships with people you haven’t seen in a while. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Personal matters demand your attention as once-stable situations begin to shift. Quick action to shore things up is called for in order to avoid more problems down the line. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Although your financial picture begins to brighten, “thrift” and “caution” are still the watchwords for fiscally astute Leos to live by. Expect news about a family matter. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Before you try to blame a colleague for a workplace problem, make sure you have the proof to back you up. Make some quiet inquiries on your own to try to solicit more information.
