Guest Editorial
Nonemergency problems become hospitals problem Mark Gordon, CNO Kern Valley Hospital
Gordon
In the last ten years, people have begun using the ER for non-emergent problems. This practice has caused longwaiting times and delays in treatment for other more serious emergent needs. Emergency rooms are never a good choice to manage chronic and long-term health issues. I have been asked about the current policy regarding management of pain through the Emergency Department. It is difficult to address this very sensitive and challenging topic. Many years ago (1990's) the federal government responded to a nation-wide perception of the mismanagement of pain through many sources. The edict came down requiring all healthcare facilities to cease trying to identify "drug-seeking" behaviors or identifying those who are suffering from drug related issues and begin treating their pain without question. As we have seen over the past 15-20 years, this approach has evolved into a practice that may promote or at least enable the misuse of certain narcotic medications. It has also created a widespread shortage of these selected medications. In November 2011, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention declared prescription drug abuse to be a nationwide epidemic. Drug overdose is now the leading cause of accidental death, surpassing deaths due to motor vehicle accidents. A majority of those overdose deaths involved prescription
drugs. Recently, the Kern Valley Healthcare District has been asked to partner with Kern County and all other care providers in the emergency community, to join with them and become part of a dynamic approach to help healthcare providers, identify and address the problems associated with narcotic and drug addiction. The program is being called the "Controlled Substances Initiative". While this program is relatively new to Kern County, it has been successfully implemented in many other areas of California. Chronic pain control can be difficult to manage if not done appropriately. And there are pain management specialists out there who deal with this sort malady. There are socioeconomic concerns, addictive personality traits and there are actual pain versus perceived pain complaints, all of which come with their own set of problems. This does not mean that we intend to alleviate all of the world's problems over night, but, addiction is a serious health concern in our midst and to not address these concerns is to bury our collective heads in the sand and deny there is a problem. The controlled substances initiative is designed to ask specific questions at the time of triage which will indicate to the nurse that the patient meets the criteria for consideration of placement into the program. The ER physician will complete the medical screening exam and provide appropriate care and treatment with instructions for follow up with a primary care provider and recommendation for management of pain through the assistance of a pain management specialist. The goals of this program are to reduce drug overdoses and optimize treatment of chronic pain with non-narcotic alternatives. The program in no way interferes with the delivery of appropriate healthcare and will in no way hinder the delivery of said care. This is a program that addresses a common, widespread health concern, which, without treatment, can lead to much more devastating effects for the patient and their loved ones.

Hwy 178 accident reduction subject of committee meeting Rod Middleworth Courier Community
Michael Batelaan/Kern River Courier
Open says me As of Wednesday August 19, the Kern Valley has an open courthouse, on Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to noon. About 18 members of the American Legion Riders, Post 711, who spearheaded the effort to get court back, were on hand to celebrate the opening. The effort to reopen the court stemmed from the concern about safety traveling the Kern Canyon and Walker Pass for court appearances.
On Wednesday August 19, eight members of the Committee for Safety in the Kern Canyon met with field representative Romeo Agbalog for Senator Jean Fuller and Keenan Hochschild, staff assistant for Congressman Kevin McCarthy at the Kern County complex building. The meeting was held to discuss what could be done to improve the safety in the Kern Canyon. It has become apparent that accidents in the Canyon seem to be on the rise. This committee consisting of 45 interested residents of the Kern Valley, have come up with a number of safety pointers for the Canyon, which if followed, would help diminish the rate of accidents. Recognizing that ideas which require changes in Caltrans policies and those of the California Highway
Patrol take time and money to implement, it was agreed that the education of drivers who use the Kern Canyon between the mouth of the canyon and the freeway. It was felt by the committee and reported to the representatives that a brochure would shortly be prepared and distributed to schools, service clubs, motels, restaurants, campsites and other places the public gathers. The committee asked that the representatives help us with contacting Caltrans and the various agencies that could help reduce accidents. Suggestions such as rumble strips, additional pull-outs, speed limit signs at the canyon mouth and various other locations throughout the canyon and increased CHP presence were discussed. The committee is scheduled to meet again in September.
Traveling to and from school American Academy of Pediatrics Courier Safety Review the basic rules with your student:
Riding School Bus
■ Children should always board and exit the bus at locations that provide safe access to the bus or to the school building. ■ Remind your child to wait for the bus to stop before approaching it from the curb. ■ Make sure your child walks where she can see the bus driver (which means the driver will be able to see her, too). ■ Remind your student to look both ways to see that no other traffic is coming before crossing the street, just in case traffic does not stop as required. ■ Your child should not move around on the bus. ■ If your child's school bus has lap/shoulder seat belts, make sure your child uses one at all times when in the bus. (If your child's school bus does not have lap/shoulder belts, encourage the school system to buy buses with lap/shoulder belts.}
In the Car
■ All passengers should wear a seat belt or use an age- and size-appropriate car safety seat or booster seat. ■ Your child should ride in a car safety seat with a harness as long as possible and then ride in a belt-positioning booster seat. Your child is ready for a booster seat when she has reached the top weight or height allowed for the seat. ■ Your child should ride in a belt-positioning booster seat until the vehicle's seat belt fits properly (usually when the child reaches about 4' 9" in height and is between 8 to 12 years of age). This means that the child is tall enough to sit against the vehicle seat back with her legs bent at the knees and feet hanging down and the shoulder belt lies across the middle of the chest and shoulder, with the lap belt is low and snug across the thighs, not the stomach. ■ All children younger than 13 years of age should ride in the rear seat of vehicles. If you must drive more children than can fit in the rear seat (when
carpooling, for example), move the front-seat passenger's seat as far back as possible and have the child ride in a booster seat. ■ Remember that many crashes occur while novice teen drivers are going to and from school. You should require seat belt use, limit the number of teen passengers, and do not allow eating, drinking, cell phone conversations, texting or other mobile device use to prevent driver distraction. Limit nighttime driving and driving in inclement weather. Familiarize yourself with your state's graduated driver's license law and consider the use of a parent-teen driver agreement to facilitate the early driving learning process.
Travel byBike
■ Always wear a bicycle helmet, no matter how short or long the ride. ■ Ride on the right, in the same direction as auto traffic. ■ Use appropriate hand signals. ■ Respect traffic lights and stop signs. ■ Wear bright-colored clothing to increase visibility. White or light-colored clothing and reflective gear is especially important after dark. ■ Know the "rules of the road."
Walking to School
■ Make sure your child's walk to school is a safe route with well-trained adult crossing guards at every intersection. ■ Identify other children in the neighborhood with whom your child can walk to school. In neighborhoods with higher levels of traffic, consider organizing a "walking school bus," in which an adult accompanies a group of neighborhood children walking to school. ■ Be realistic about your child's pedestrian skills. Because small children are impulsive and less cautious around traffic, carefully consider whether or not your child is ready to walk to school without adult supervision. ■ If your children are young or are walking to a new school, walk with them the first week or until you are sure they know the route and can do it safely. ■ Bright-colored clothing will make your child more visible to drivers.

Kern Law Enforcement Association presents $5,000 reward check Marc Haiungs KLEA Courier Crime fighters The Kern Law Enforcement Association Board of Directors voted last week to add $5,000 to the $10,000 already being offered as a reward for information that led to the capture of Benjamin Ashley, who was accused of kidnapping, murder, and attempted murder of two Sheriff's Deputies. After three weeks of searching the wilderness around Lake Isabella, Kern County law enforcement officers were tipped off to the location of the gunman by an employee of Brady's Market on U.S. Highway 395. When Sheriff's Deputies found and confronted Ashley, he pulled handgun from his waistband, and Deputies were forced to open fire. 3 additional guns were found on the suspects body. On August 21, 2015 at about 9:15 a.m. KLEA President Marc Haiungs had the honor of delivering a $5,000 check from the Kern Law Enforcement Association to Gary Welfl of Brady's Market as reward for the information he provided that led to the demise of the accused murderer, kidnapper, and attempted murderer.

Dan Schlensker, Courier Columnist Anne Herbert, who is perhaps best known for having encouraged people to "Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty," also told an allegorical story about life Schlensker in the early world. As the story goes, God created not just two people, but a bunch of "kids" to enjoy each other's company. He put them in Eden, which was like a playground and park, and told them to have fun. And they did: rolling down hills, wading in streams, climbing trees, swinging on vines, running in meadows and hiding in the woods. They laughed a lot. Then one day this snake came along and told them they were not really having fun, because they were not keeping score. He explained that keeping score would enable them to find out who was best. Of course, that was OK with all the kids, though, for each of them was confident that he/she was. After that there arose a lot of yelling and arguing over rules. Some of the games were discontinued because they were too difficult to score. By the time God found out what they were doing, they were only spending about 45 minutes each day playing, and the rest of the time was spent in figuring out scoring. God was mad! He said they couldn't use his garden anymore, because they weren't having fun. They argued
that they were having plenty of fun and that he was being too narrowminded, because it was not exactly the kind of fun he'd envisioned. He threw them out and told them they couldn't come back until they stopped keeping score. What's more God told them that eventually they were all going to die, and their scores would not mean anything anyway. Although allegorical, this story demonstrates a serious flaw in human nature, temperament and behavior: people's penchant for pride, the desire to be recognized as the best. In almost every aspect of life on earth there is competition, whether it be intellectual and academic pursuits, accumulation of money, political arenas, personal possessions, athletic endeavors, the entertainment industry, and in the corporate world. A person's value is determined by how close he or she is to being the best. God still frowns on keeping score. However, He's already appeased His anger by executing His wrath on His Son Jesus on Calvary's cross, so that He could find all, who trust in Him, acceptable in His sight, good. The Bible negates competition among men when it says, "There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Nobody's any better than anyone else in God's sight! However, Paul goes on to say that our hope is that people "are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus" (Romans 3:22-24). Dan Schlensker is pastor of Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church Lake Isabella.

Unaging beauty draws suspicion Sam Struckhoff Courier Contributor
PICKS OF THE WEEK “The Age of Adaline” (PG-13) - Adaline Bowman (Blake Lively) survives a strange car accident while driving one night in 1938. A Very Authoritative Narrator tells us that due to some science-magic whatever, Adaline stopped aging, preserving her elegant blond 29-year-old form for all time. Tragic, I know. After some years, Addy's unaging beauty draws suspicion, so she changes identities every decade to keep her immortality a secret -- she's kinda selfish. This keeps her from getting too close to anyone, or falling in love, until she falls in love with a guy whose father (Harrison Ford) recognizes her as the lost love of his youth. The film goes for that dreamy, timeless, starlit moody look, and achieves it across different time periods. It all looks good, but the story feels undercooked. Things limp along at times, and the ending feels a little off-kilter. “Cyber-Seniors” (PG) -- How do you get a senior citizen from knowing nothing about the computers to deftly hustling Facebook friends to check out their latest Youtube video? Very patiently. That's one lesson in this charming documentary about a group of retirees paired with teen volunteers who teach them how to use the Internet. When one senior posts her own cooking video to YouTube, it starts a contest among the old folks to see who can get the most "hits"

Blake Lively in "The Age of Adaline" online. While at first, the cluelessness of the old folks is played for laughs, the real focus of the story comes from the new connections made and possibilities opened up. It's not meant to be an instructional film, but it does teach us a lot about the generational gap: It sure is deep, but not too wide to cross. “Beyond the Mask” (PG) -- An English mercenary, Will (Andrew Cheney), working for the British East India company, gets backstabbed by his employer and reinvents himself as a masked vigilante, seeking revenge against his enemies who have relocated to the American colonies just before the revolution. He teams up with an annoying Benjamin Franklin, who spouts popular Benjamin Franklin sayings because that's how he talked, I guess. Will falls in love with a nice lady (Kara Kilmer) and starts to learn that the key to redemption isn't vengeance, but good faith and Christianity. He still gets his vengeance, though. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Health Insurance Matters
Insurance may not be available Harry P. Thal Courier Columnist Part 2: Last week I explained how health insurance has changed from something for people who paid for future coverage, like fire Thal insurance to a mandated like auto coverage. To prevent wide spread abuse, and avoid people buying insurance while riding in the ambulance to the hospital, plans are only available during the "Open Enrollment Period" which this year will begin November 1 and end January 31. There is a penalty for people who go without coverage, and that penalty increases annually. For 2016 the penalty will be 2.5 percent of your income times the number of people in your household without coverage, with a minimum penalty of $696 per person. My office is already scheduling appointments for people who learned the "hard way" when they filed their tax returns last April. There is an additional wrinkle for people who wait until the last minute. Once a person enrolls, coverage will be effective the first of the following month. Can you picture the lines on New Year's Eve, with last minute applications? Won't happen. The cut off for new
business is the 20th of the month, so complete applications received by December 20 will have a January 1 effective date. Those applications received between December 21 to January 20 will have a February first effective date, and those received during the Open Enrollment Period between January 21 and 31 will be effective March 1. Think penalty! One complaint about the legal requirement to have health insurance is affordability. Individuals and families where their employer does not provide health insurance benefits may qualify for Federal Assistance which may lower the monthly cost. For incomes even lower, changes in the law now make Medi-Cal available to most low income Californians. It is definitely worth investigating with a no obligation appointment to determine your options. Covered California, our state's health insurance exchange has certified licensed agents in the Kern River Valley available to assist you at no cost. Next week, I will be discussing the Annual Enrollment Period for people on Medicare. It's different. 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 harrythal. com.

Dave Says
Investment or debt?
Dear Dave, I'd like to send my kids to a private Christian school, and they would begin classes the Ramsey same month we'll finally be out of debt. We would have to pay this out over the course of the school year, so would you consider this to be an investment or more debt? - Ed Dear Ed, I don't borrow money whether it's an investment or not. But lots of private schools have tuition plans where you don't have to borrow money, and you just make two or three payments during the academic year. I don't know if I would really call that a debt, because you can always take the child out of the school if you see you can't make the payment. Just make sure you carefully look over any contract involved and know what you're getting into before you sign up for the ride. You don't want to obligate yourself to money you don't have, especially when you've worked so hard to get out of debt. Just save up, and have a place in your

budget for tuition. -Dave Dear Dave, What percentage of your total net worth should your personal residence be during retirement? - Sue Dear Sue, Honestly, I don't have a set percentage for this kind of thing. The larger your net worth, the smaller the percentage would be. Let's say you're worth $5 million. In this scenario, you wouldn't want to have 50 percent in your home. But if you're worth $150,000, you're probably going to have more than 50 percent in your home. So, the smaller your net worth is, the larger the percentage your home will likely be. That's very reasonable, and it's one way you can look at. If you're in the million-dollar range of net worth, I don't think I'd want to have half or more of it in my house. But I think you see how I'm looking at that. You want to try and have as small a portion as possible, but you also have to have a home that's suitable for your needs. -Dave Dave Ramsey is a national radio personality and the author of three New York Times bestselling books.

Volunteers needed to transport cancer patients An estimated 1.6 million California residents will learn that they have cancer this year. The American Cancer Society provides transportation to and from treatment facilities to help people with cancer receive the critical care they need; however, getting to their scheduled treatment may be a challenge. "One cancer patient requiring radiation therapy could need anywhere from 20 to 30 trips to treatment in six weeks," said Donna Gavello, program manager. "A patient receiving chemotherapy might report for treatment weekly for up to a year. In many cases, a patient is driven to hospitals or clinics by relatives or friends, but even these patients must occasionally seek alternative transportation. That's where the American Cancer Society Road To Recovery® program comes in." "The free program provides patients rides to and from their cancer treatment. To ensure that all patients have transportation when they need it, the Society is looking for volunteer drivers, especially in the rural areas" according to Gavello. "Road To Recovery volunteers arrange their own schedules, with some volunteering as little as one afternoon a month and others driving patients as often as twice a week," Gavello noted. "If you have a reliable car, current driver's license and auto insurance, and some spare time, you can help someone keep a very important appointment." For information about the Road To Recovery program and other Society programs and services, call 1-800-227-2345, or visit cancer.org.

ARIES (Mar. 21 to Apr. 19) Cupid is strong in the Aries aspect this week, with the cherub opening romantic possibilities for single Lambs, and strengthening ties 'twixt loving pairs already in a caring relationship. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your dramatic flair might make things more interesting as you recount an event to your colleagues. But be careful not to exaggerate reality to the point that facts and fancy combine to form fiction. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You love to talk, and this week you should get lots of chances to share your thoughts with people who will not only pay attention to what you have to say, but will want to hear more. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The pattern of recent changes could begin to shift from mostly workplace-related events to more personal matters. Continue to keep an open mind as you prepare to deal with them. LEO (July 23 to August 22) An opportunity for work-related travel could be just what the Terrific Tabby needs to get a new perspective on a balky situation. The trip also could prove to be personally rewarding. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might want to suggest resolving an old disagreement before it can affect a matter expected to come up for discussion. It's always best to start with a clean slate.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) The week favors combining dollops of creativity and practicality to work out both professional and personal problems. A longtime friend could have something of note to suggest. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Some surprising facts could come to light if you decide to probe deeper into an "opportunity" than you might usually do. What you'll learn could determine what you'll earn. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Someone close to you might seek your counsel. Hear him/her out, but hold the line at giving actual advice until you get credible answers to all your questions. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) What seems to be an overwhelming workplace project can be dealt with quite well if you handle one category at a time. Things will soon begin to fall into place. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A personal matter might need more of your time than you had expected. Try to prioritize between your many outside commitments and your domestic responsibilities. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A developing situation still needs more time to grow, and more time to study before you can plunge in and make some attention-getting waves. Patience is best for wise Pisceans.

der 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 time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court.
